liberal patronage, both advertising
and otherwise, from the local mer-
chants, he should buy all of his
groceries and clothing from Rears &
Sawbuck. Again Mr.. Hamilton seeks
to make point when he asks and
then answers the question, "What if
everybody who spends his money
outside should suddenly come to the
realization it were bad for him as well
as to the community for him to re-
main and should pitch his tent else
where? How many people would now
be living in Medina? Not one.'
In reply We will merely reiterate
the opinion to which Mr.. Hamilton
objects, namely, that the town would
be better off without those people,
even though it meant complete depop-
ulation. By this we mean that as it
were better for themselves as well as
all concerned that the assassin and
the idiot were dead, so it is with
town whose people sense no COM
munity interest.
We believe that so far as Medina
county is concerned that Mr.. Hamil-
ton is quite alone in his view. we
may add, also, that he is about the
first and only one we have ever known
to advance his argument. Of course
there are those who do, but they are
rare and of kind that would not last
long in Medina county.
A town can't prosper without com
munity interest and reciprocal buying,
and when it ceases to prosper it Is
either stagnant or dying; and If 1t is
stagnant, the sooner it is dead the
better. A stagnant town may prop
erly be likened to the assassin or
idiot. (Editor.)

Communication


Editor Sentinel: a
May I ask you the privilege Of ad-
dressing through the columns Of your
paper, word or two to the people
of Medina and environs.
"A town that is large enough and
good enough for man to earn his liv-
ing in is good enough for him to buy
his provisions in. If he does not
think so, both he and the town would
be better off if his tent were pitched
ON other prairies." :" Il
The above paragraph appeared in
the current issue of The Medina Sem
tinel under the caption, 'Gocal
Events" l take it to be apropos' of
my letter to the Medina County Ga
zette dealing with the buying of goods
from abroad. At any rate twill bear
inspection. D.,
The first sentence contains an as
sumption wholly unwaranted. That
assumption is, that somehow or in
some way, an individual is under obli-
cations for his livlihood, to the COM
munity in which he resides. Now /
admit that people who are the object
Of charity and are supported by the
public are indeed indebted to the COM
munity furnishing to them the means
of living. But ! assume the writer Of
the above paragraph had no suchpeo-
pie in mind for he speaks of the indi-
vidual as buying provisions. Obvious
ly, he does not include people with
out means. He undoubtedly is con-
sidering the vast majority Of individ-
uals who secure livelihood by offer
ing their products goods or services)
to buyers whomsoever they may be.
And, assuming that none of these is
cheated, every one obtains value for
value, and in SO doing is under no OBJ
legations to any person or group OF
persons, Every buyer pays in full fcr
what he buys and every seller re-
ceives full value for what he sells. Nc
further obligations exist. All Of
which is to say, that no person is
under obligation to spend bis money
in any one place simply because he
happened to earn his money in that
place.
But let us suppose, simply for the
sake Of argument, that q person il
under obligations to spend his money
in the community in which he earns
It. Let us suppose that, II he does
not do this both he and the towr
would be better of IL his tent were
pitched on other prairies" \ Let ui
suppose that everybody who spends
his money outside should suddenly

A couple of weeks ago Stewart M.
Hamilton, associated with the Univer-
sity of Michigan, and who is spending
some time within our gates, submit
ted a communication to our esteemed
contemporary, the Gazette, taking ex-
ception to the prevailing opinion that
in securing ones living in commun-
ity no obligation whatsoever is en-
tailed.
The Sentinel, with no desire to en-
gage in a discussion of subject so
apparently one-sided, disregarded the
subject, in the main, but did venture
the following observation:
"A town that is large enough and
good enough for a man to earn his liv-
ing in is good enough for him to buy
his provisions in. If he does not
think SO, both he and the town would
be better off if his tent were pitched
ron other prairies."
Mr.. Hamilton promptly mailed us
| communication taking issue with US,
| requesting that we publish the same.
We have done SO.
Both in his article to the Gazette as
we'll as the one to the Sentinel Mr..
Hamilton's logic is not altogether the
worst we have met with, but his
premises are woefully incorrect.
He declares that the first sentence
in our item contains an assumption
unwarranted. We fail to see it SC
and submit our proposition to the peo-
pie of Medina county. But he ther
goes right ahead with nonchalant au-
dacity and explains to us exactly
what our assumption is. That's nice

that because one earns ones living in

under The, head of obligation. We
will ask Mr.. Hamilton how he woult

Some men seem 70 think il they

Some men seem to think If they
get into "scrape" and the editor
mentions it in his paper that ne does
it out of malice toward them. In
nearly every case of this kind moth
ing could be farther from the truth
than such a belief. 1t is an editors
business to publish local happenings,
good or bad, and if man furnishes
material for bad item he has no
one to blame but himself, should it
appear.
The two games played by the
local ball team and the Rouch q Lang

in the forenoon game going to the

Medina boys in a score Of 6 to 2. Next
Saturday the local team will play
with a crack team from C'eve-

AT the lecture given by DR..
Thompson ON Thursday evening at
the M. E. church, a chorus directed
by Mrs. Boult sang two beautiful Sc

ing solos, Miss Lucille Hunsberger
accompanying her. John Beck, organist
of the Methodist church, gave a very
good rendition Of the "Pilgrim's
Chorus" from Tannhauser, on the or

large crowd enjoyed the evening lee
ture and entertainment.
Don't go abroad to buy something
when you have few dollars to spend
and then ask your home merchant to
sell to you on time when you are
broke. If you have bills with your
merchant who has given you credit

ed small payments, and take your cash
to the city to spend with a stranger
who has no interest in your town, nine
times out of ten he will "do" you be-
cause he never expects to see you
again. The home merchant will save
you money with reliable goods, which
he guarantees with his reputation.

for him as well as the community for
him to remain and should pitch his
tent elsewhere. How many people
would be living in Medina ? Not one.
OF all the innumerable articles Of
every day use in Medina not one is
wholly product of Medina. At least
a portion of every article consumed
here came from the outside and pre-
sumably was bought and paid for.
And, if only those who spend their
money solely in Medina should remain
in Medina, the population of said town
would be zero.

DESERTED HUBBY
PLANS ALIENATION
SUIT TO WIN BRIDE
Attorney for Wyman May Take
This Means to Get Girl
in Court.

Because he kept his married daugh-
ter away from her husband. G. Nor
man Brundage, of 30S Clifton avenue,
now faces a suit for alienation of af-
fections. Mortimer Lowy, counsel for
declares he will institute the suit
against Mr. Brundage to get Mrs.
Wyman in open court.
The suit will be filed this week in
the First District Court here. Attor-
ney Lowry will ask for $500 damages
from his clients father-i n-law.
He will be made defendant in the
action. In order to substantiate his
defense he will have to call his
daughter as a witness. This will give
Attorney Lowry the opportunity he
seeks to question the girl under oath.
He will attempt to make her his wit
ness also.
Wyman and Miss Ethel NJ. Brun-
dage were married at Coney Island
two weeks ago. The families of the
contracting parties have been friendly
for years. Wyman said he did not
think there would be any opposition
to the wedding. He is employed in
a Coney Island hotel, and has known
the former Miss Brundage for five
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman were eating
breakfast at the home of the BRIDE
groom Ala State street, the morning
after the ceremony when Mr.. Brun-
dage entered the room.
IF you want to see your mother
alive, Ethel, you'll have to hurry
right home" Brundage is alleged to
have told his daughter. The three
then went to the Brundage home.
Wyman charges he was assaulted
by Brundage and driven out of the
house alone. He reported the matter
to the police, but Judge Herr refused
to take a complaint. Since that time
Brundage has refused to let his
daughter see her husband, Attorney
Lowry declares.
Attorney Lowry says the father has
poisoned the girls mind against her
husband. The attorney talked with
the girl, he says, and she declared she
did not want to return to her husband.
This statement was made in the pres
ence of her father and mother and
her mothers parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Milton Schupp.
Attorney Lowy declares that the
marriage certificate has been torn up.
He has sent to Coney Island for q
duplicate certificate. He Is at loss to
account for the ilhfeeling between the
two families. The father refuses to
state his objections to the match.
Mr.. Brundage will not divulge the
plans he Is making to obtain his
daughters legal release from her hus-
band.
