PASTOR FL|RTS,
GOES To JAIL

"Let the rest of the world go
hV0

ANGOLA, 1nd., Aug. ~ u.N.S.) .
"Let the rest of the world go
by"
That rather ancient tune was
sung in the Steuben county jail
here and the quartet leader was
the Rev. Sidney H. Beauchamp,
25, former pastor of the Nine
Mile United Brethren Church,
charged with contributing to the
delinquency of pretty Geneva
Bradbury, II.
She was in custody, and Mrs.
Phyllis Beauchamp, the minis
ter's wife, also charged with con-
tributing to the delinquency, was
free on bond.
The minister, in good spirits,
has organized a quartet with
felloW-prisoners.
Beauchamp told authorities
that he and his wife took the
Bradbury girl into their home
and lived with her at cottage
on Lake Gage, near here, to
"give her a better environment" !"
But Mrs. Beauchamp's story
was that her husband became in
fatuated with Miss Bradbury.
Rather than permit so persons
recently converted by the minis
ter to lose their faith, the preach
er's wife said that she has kept
her husbands secret.

Seven long years now, Lou has been
laid up-confned to his home-as a
result of injuries sustained in a fall
from a scaffold on May 13, 1926, yet
he remains the "same old LOU" ever
cheerful and hoping to get back again
on the job. And it is pleasing to his
host of friends to note that, though
slowly, he is gradually improving.
No more ardent trade unionist the
city ever produced than Lou Nau. For
16 years he served as president of
his union, the Carpenters, and for
many years was one of its delegates
to Trades Council and has served the
parent body as its president. And to-
day he takes keen interest in all that
pertains to the union movement.
Here's hoping that he will continue
to improve in health and physical
strength to the extent that his dream
of getting back on the job may soon
come to realization.

to affect your facial expression. A
smile in return will heap Goals of fire
on the head of your would-be enemy.
To indicate in this manner that you
have no fear whatsoever is about the
best way to return the attack. There
is nothing that brings more discom-
future to a bully than to have his
clustering threats answered with a
smile.
Life is good, bad or Indifferent to
a large extent in accordance with your
viewpoint.
Although we cannot always make it
lust as we would like it, we can cer-
tainly accept what comes to US re-
gardless of what it may be, with a
certain degree of satisfaction.
You will have to be thankful for
what you have already received IN
order to receive still more.
If you have but little OF this
worlds goods, and assume an un-
grateful attitude, you are liable to
lose what you have.

FREE SCHOOLS
Demanded By Labor a Hun
dred Years Ago
BY E. G. HALL

By E. G. HALL
President, Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Labor
A close study of American history
shows that the Little Red School
House" was by no means so universal
as we have been led to believe
In Colonial days the British COVER
nors were strongly opposed to educa-
tion for the working people or their
children.
Sir William Berkeley, governor of
Virginia, said, 81 thank God that there
are no free schools or printing houses
in Virginia: for learning has brought
disobedience, heresy and sects into the
world"
At first, when the unions demanded
free education, the ruling classes tried
to compromise by giving them pau
per Schools" which were only for the
very poor.
They were started in Pennsylvania
in 1913, but were wisely opposed by
the workingmen, who continued to
antagonize them until the public
schools were established.
Striking stories are told Of those
days of the struggles of the poorer
people to educate themselves and
their children.
This shows that our public schools
and public library systems were not
gift from the wealthy and educated
to the working classes, but rather
arose in response to the persistent
demand for equal educational advan-
tages.

The Smile of a Fighter

Not that it is necessary to have a
mechanical smile upon your features
at all times, but there is such a thing
as having a genial attitude toward
life.
The problems associated with it are
not worrying you. You should feel
that you are master of the situation.
You should have the self-confidence
that will bring smile to your fea-
lures on the least provocation.
Wear the smile that won't come off
as much as you can, and if you are
facing conditions that require an atti-
tude of grim determination, a smile
even under such circumstances is
sometimes desirable.
If someone turns upon you in a
threatening manner, do not allow it
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-09-01

You are never whipped as long as
you can smile.
No matter what situation may
arise in life, try to face it with a
smile.
1t is said that the Eskimos have a
rough-and- d-tumble boxing game which
is not won by Knockout, as in our
American way, but each contestant
must wear smile, and then go after
each other hammer and tongs."
Biff! Bang! Rough and ready-and
there is no end to the round nor fight
until the smile is wiped from the face
of one of the antagonists. But the
minute that either one loses his
smile, it is an admission of defeat.
To large extent, that is the way
with life in all it's vicissitudes.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-09-01

A proper feeling of gratitude adds
more and more to what you have
already, and the acceptance of this
great truth should give one con-
tinuous excuse for encouraging the
smile that won't come off.-Bernarr

the message might be the first step
toward recognition Of the Soviet
government by the United States.
Opinion in the United States, as
reflected In editorials in newspapers
Of all parts of the country, was
that the President had made a bold
and timely move to save the world
from warfare, and that it had q
chance to succeed; but there was
some fear that he was trying to ex-
tend the Monroe Doctrine over all
continents, and some doubt as to
what his future course would be If
his proposals were rejected. Cen
orally, the President was highly COM
mended for his energetic and en-
lightened action.

dispatches from Shanghai said the
defenders, already driven back to
point only few miles north Of the
old capital, had planned to destroy
both cities IL they could not hold
them. All the Chinese banks In
Pieping had transferred their specie
reserves to Shanghai, and British
mining operations north Of Tientsin
had been stopped. Thousands of
families had been evacuated from
Peiping in the belief that a
Japanese air attack would soon be
made.

fact that the maneuvers are being

Adolf Hitler was about to make his
first declaration Of international
nolicy. the reaction to Mr.. Roose-
velt's message was awaited with
Intense interest. Everywhere It was
considered that he was directing his
admonitions especially toward Ger
many and for twenty-four hours the
absorbing question was "What will
Hitler reply?"
The German chancellor had sum-
.moned the almost obsolete reichstag
to hear the speech he had prepared
IN seclusion, and when he delivered
IT. 1t was found that he Endorsed
President Rooseyelt's plan for q
non-aggression pact and agreed to
join It. At the same time, In ring
ing tones, he reiterated Germany's
claim to equal armament and re-
fused to adhere to q disarmament
agreement, even If 1t were reached
by majority Of nations, unless
this demand for equality is fully
recognized. Otherwise, he declared,
Germany will withdraw from the
League of Nations.
The chancellor agreed with
Roosevelt that lasting economic re-
construction is impossible unless
the armament question is settled,
and accepted the MacD plan,
Endorsed by Roosevelt, as basis
for disarmament, but insisted any
new defense system must be identi-
cal for Germany and the other ma
lions. He promised to disband the
German auxiliary police and also
to subject semimilitary organiza-
lions to International control, pro-
vlded other nations accept the same
control.
Hitler declared his nation had
suffered too much from the insanity
of war to visit the same upon 9TH
ers. and denied that Germany con-
templated invasion of either France
or Poland. He demanded revision
OF the Versailles treaty, asserting
that Germany had fulfilled the 'un-
reasonable demands" of that treaty
with suicidal loyalty"
Officials of the State department
In Washington said Hitler's speech
was encouragingly conciIiatory. In
France 1t was not so well received.
The French government was rather
COOL toward the Roosevelt propos-
ais, and the fear was entertained
IN Paris that Hitler's approval of
them would isolate France.

gress accompanying a copy of his
