SHIP SUBSIDY

After the terrific rebuke the vot-
ers gave to Harding's tariff at the
last election, it would be naturally
supposed that he would be some
what cautious about fastening upon
the country another measure about
as bad-that Of the ship Subsidy.
The President may feel that mas
much as he is already a eoner so
Tar as a second term is concerned,
he does NOT fear for the result. IN
one respect the subsidy measure is
like the taviff-that is It is q lax on
the people and they pay it, not 10
the government but 10 private
American interests. The Ship Sub
sidy is simply another tax on the
people 1t is a tax on the people for
money to hand out 10 men who can
not operate ships proftably. Why
should not the operation Of ships
pay the same as steel manufacture
ing or any other industries should
pay? II is not right to be taxed by
subsidies or tariffs to make up def
icits The President in his message
to Congress says that the shipping
board is in bad way financially
Most shipping concerns are for that
matter, regardless of the country to
which they belong, Let the fact be
horne in mind that because hun
areds Of American ships are tied up
Is not because the government has
Not subsidized them, but because
there is no cargo. To make matters
worse Congress has passed tariff
bill purpose of which is to cut out

chant marine lives.

zen, who has way of speaking
hight out and telling the truth

9P. NJ. CURFEW ORDINANCE

At their last meeting the council:
of McConnelsville and Malta passed
curfew ordinances exactly the same.
They provide that all persons under
the age of Is years must be home
after the hour of 8 O'Clock p. M,
unless they are accompanied by
their parents or legal guardians, or
are on lawful business for their
employer, parents or guardians.
ANY parent found guilty of violat-
ing the ordinance shall be fined in
any sum not exceeding $40, or i'm
prisoned for not more than ten days
or BOTH" the ordinance states.
This ordinance although strict,
should have the backing of our peo-
pie in general. If there are parents
Indifferent as to the hour their chill
dren are out on the street at night,
the thought of fine, if nothing
else, will surely awaken them to
realization of their duty.
To be sure that their children are
at home and not violating this or
dinance, it might be we'll for the
parents themselves to occasionally
hang around home of evenings.

MORGAN COUNTY COUNCIL
Of CHURCHES IS EFFECTED

Organized activity of the church
es Of this county in behalf Of bet
ter amusements, Of internatlonal
peace. of legislation for betterment
Of public morals and Of law enforce
ment was urged by Rev. A. b. Eby
Of Columbus, in an address on "The
Church and Public Morals" at the
county conference Of church work
ers at the McCOnnelsyille NJ. L.
church, Monday night.
Other addresses, during the day.
and the speakers who delivered
them, were: cooperative Evangel
ism" Rev Eby; "Interdenomina-
tional Adjustments" Rev. B. r.
Weld, Of Newark; "Religious Edu
cation" Rev James Verburg. OF
Columbus.
Speaking on the movie question,
Mr. Eby appealed for church sup
port for the state censors in their
efforts to protect the public against
pictures Of a demoralizing tendency.
He explained that the censorship
authorities welcome the cooperation
Of the church people Of the state and
that State Education Director Yer
non Riegel, under whose superyis-
ion films are censored, has recently
asked the State Council of Churches
10 aid in organization of local bet
ter films committees, which should
cooperate with theatres in securing
clean pictures, should report viola
tions of censorship decisions,
should promote public education in
behalf of better pictures and should
inform the public of the quality Of
pictures being shown.
A warning was given that the
film interests are active politically
and that organized church support
is necessary to protect the censor
ship law in Ohio against attacks
which are likely to be made.
Support for the program of the
World Alliance for international
Friendship through the churches,
which has had formal approval of
the Ohio Council of Churches, was
urged. Emphasis was given to the
matter Of enforcement Of Sabbath
observance laws, and the point was
made that Ohio has no so-called
blue laws" but merely a code for
the restriction Of commercial ac
tiyity on Sunday, which has been
reoeatedly upheld BY the Supren
Court.

fences in battle were fresh, the or
ganization grew through the years
1t was an organization unique and
apart from others, militant and
forceful, filled with lofty purpose.
| For years the annual encampment
drew such enormous crowds that
large cities were taxed to care for
them. Famous civil war command
ers attended, men whose names
were bright in history were on every
hand.
But it is different now The
years have changed conditions. The
lusty veterans of half a century ago
are the old men of today. Some
are active, vigorous and in business,
but the picture at the encampment
is pathetic, so many Of the forms are
bent, so many steps faltering, so
many voices feeble, so many are at
tending their last encampment. The
great commanders are gone Reei-
mental reunions are attended by
two or three, where hundreds were
wont to come in other days. In
place of hundred thousand in the
parade only few thousand gather
now. In place of route miles
long, the distance now is measured
in city blocks. The line grows
shorter each year, familiar faces are
missing, familiar figures come no
more, the Grand Army is passing.
This is one of the greatest and
one of the last encampments we

HANDWRITINGS ON WALL

would have it appear that they pass
lightly over the result of the recent
election, and would make it seem
that it was not a Democratic vic
tory. He knows better, and what

the wall in general, but particular
ly on the Herald wall AS evidence
note the boom started Lass week for
the reelection Of one OF the

expires in two years. But to speak
of that Democratic victory The
result briefly summed up follows:
THE Republican majority of
168 in the House has been cut
down to approximately 16 and
the Republican majority in the
Senate of 24 to II. In addition
to these victories Democratic

THOSE PRESIDENTIAL REMOVALS

~ he two features of Preident Hardings executive
der summariy dismssing the director of the bureau
of Engraving and Printing and thirty other officials
and experts with which the public is chiefly concerned
are:
First, The manner in which the removals were made
without warning and without charges thus subjectng
them to suspicious which tended to backen their charac
ters and bring disgrace upon them and upon their families
Second The plain violation of the civil Service law,
provides that in the classified service may be
removed except upon charge in writing, and permitting
the accused to reply thereto 1t is unprecedented
sault upon the policy and the principle of the civil service
system in which the republican party has always professed
to believe.
1t is contended that President Harding was clearly
within his rights when he ordered these dismssas To
this Senator CaraWay (Dem. Ark who introduced reso
ons one requesting the president to give his reasons
and one for committee of investigation replied:
"The president is not above the law although for the
gment sake may c0ncede that he may disgrace and
move these from the service and they have legal
redress he may exercise the authority vested in him and
override the statute but in doing If he acts without just
cause he will more disgrace himself in the high office he
holds than he will disgrace these humble citizens whose
rights make honest living he has sought to Destroy
Democratic politicians not disposed 70 criticize the
president il he simply democratic office holders
and replaces them with republicans provided the purpose
is avowed and it is done openly and legally The criticism
when it is done in manner that tends to destroy
characters and assassnate regulations The failure to
give file charges was followed by the pubica
ton of stories in the press which placed the discharged Of
fcas under suspicion Of various forms Of fraud and dis
honesty.
Believers in civil service however, and they still number
millions of people throughout the country can find no JUS
fcaton for the arbitrary removal OF these officials with
out charges whatever may have been the motive Their
position is that the departments of the government
either to be run under the civil service merit system or the
offices are to be filled by political partisans under the old
spos system which resulted in the barter and sale of ap
fho flnn
until public sentiment was almost unanimous in getting rid
of it.
