THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR SPEAKS
Giving a Brief Statement Of the
Purpose and Platform Of
The Citizen

Mr. Marshall +. Vaughn is Editor
Of The Citizen. The associate edi-
tor welcomes him to this office. and
we are sure that our readers will
be glad for his new relation TO them.
He comes to his work with a per
sonal acquaintance with a large num-
Der Of you and with an intimate ac-
quaintance with the field Of the pa
per. With his experience and ability
you may expect The Citizen TO hold
present standards and to improve as
time goes on.
As we understand the wish Of the
directors Of Berea Publishing Com
rany, II is that we should continue
to assist in the editing of the paper
and TO look after the business Of the
company.
We have some fourteen months
experience in this relation, and feel
that we arc somewhat acquainted
with the readers. We have met
many Of you in the office and out
side the Office. We have written let
tiers TO many Of you and gone into
your communities. We have visited
forty-six Of your schools, spoken to
nearly 5000 persons in these schools,
and seen 1000 more at school fairs,
and have ridden more than four hun
bred miles on horseback over the
mountain roads.
First of all. we wish to express
our pleasure that The Citizen is to be
free from politics. We have always
maintained that the paper should
not takes sides in political matters.
II has other fields in which all its
energies should be directed

GREETINGS FROM THE NEW
EDITOR

Greetings 10 the Readers Of
The Citizen:

Of years manifested great interest i'm

has been his pleasure 10 work in CO.

cause Of education throughout east
ern Kentucky. His chief service has
been that Of advertising Berea Col
lege. writing articles on the educa-
tional needs Of the mountains and
sending thousands Of copies contain
ing valuable information 20 the re-
hottest sections Of our State.
The new Editor thinks the only
fundamental mistake that has ever
been made by The Citizen was that
Of assuming the role Of a political
paper The Citizen was founded as
a non-partisan paper and for many
years was conducted as such, but
through the ambition of some Of its
editors, a number Of years ago. II
was changed to a political paper.
The new organization that has Just
been perfected unanimously voted TO
declare The Citizen an independent
paper with no axes TO grind, nor
political handicaps TO overcome. All
honorable citizens of all political
faiths are our friends and neighbors,
and the weekly newspaper that wishes
TO render the maximum service TO
the whole community must lay aside
every political weight. This does
not mean that the paper will for-
ever refuse TO participate in political
discussions. but it means that the

The order of the Chief was executed
by 800 detectives and police. The jails

The drive brought in numerous drug
sellers and bOOtleggers.
Raids were centered on notorious
gambling dens. How II was carried
on is illustrated by the raid on "Artie
GUMS smoke shop" The place was
swarming with gamblers and the
tables were loaded with gold and
silver. Automobiles loaded with de-
tectives and police dashed to the curb
with drawn pistols, and officers smash
ed through doors and into the heart of
the dive. Gamblers who attempted
to rush" the police and escape were
clubbed. When the place was "mopped
up" ten loads of prisoners were hauled
away. Gold, silver and currency taken
from the gambling tables totaled more
than $4,000. Another sensational
raid was that on the establishment Of
"Nick the Greek" Dandalos. Scores
were arrested, but only a small sum of
money was found. DandalOs was
searched. He had $4,000 that he had
scooped from the tables hidden inside
his shirt.

something to shoot craps and play faro
with. If they can't gamble they won't

charged, gamblers obtained protection.
"Just wait until Mayor Thompson re.
turns" they said. Hell show these

Germany has given out the opinion
that she is not bound by the clause
Of the Treaty of Versailles pertain
ing to mandates over backward Sec
lions of the world. 1t is her claim
that she agreed to the Treaty
only with the expectation that
she would become a member of
the League of Nations, and hence
entitled to a voice and share in
the guardianship of uncivilized parts
Of the world. Being aware of the
opposition that would arise, Germany
is not asking for admission to the
League, but is certainly awake to
every possible opening that will adj
vance her own cause.
