More than the laudable desire to
help bring the Washington State
Fair back to full activity and value
after it's three inactive years lies
behind the active cooperation
which the Grange is giving to the
big undertaking, say officials OF the
fair.
In a recent letter sent by Grange
leaders Of this section to the Grange
News, appeal is made to the entire
state membership to assist IN stag
ing the greatest agricultural dis
play in the history Of the Fair, IN
order that home seekers hockmg to
the Northwest this fall from less
favored regions may see convincing
proof that their quest is rlgtltly
ended, in this land of super album
dance.
'This year will see great many
neonle looking for a new location
in the Northwest, read the com
munication. Therefore the Pomona
Oranges of Yakima county and ad-
Joining counties have determined TO
take an active part this fall In the
washington State Fair, to be held
in Yakima September ID to IL.
AWe need assistance from all the
Grangers of the state in putting on
che largest agricultural display and
he most representative possible. In
the past few years, commercial IN
dustry has almost stolen the show
from the farmers. Our fairs are the
proper show places for agricultural
activities. 1t is not only interesting
work and a lot of pleasure, showing
what we can grow, but it can be
made very informative for others
as well.
ssThe Grange will thus be taking
its rightful place in worthy public
activities, as it should.
arrangements have been made
for seven adjoining booths for dis.
play in the Agricultural building al
the Fair. The committees hope thu
state Grange will participate, show
ing the Grange cooperative ant
other activities. And we want <
maintain q bureau Of information
for possible new ho1ne-seekers IN
curing as to which part OF TIT
state Is best for various agricultural
pursuits.
"Next year, we hope to have
sufficiently large livestock represen
tation among Grange entries t.
have a barn reserved just for &C
comodation of our animals.
Premium lists may be had o.
request, by addressing Secretary a
M. Dean, State Fair, Yakima. Al
Changers are urged to take part.
The letter was signed by the Stat
Fair committee, A. II. Goode, A.

MONROE (0 DOCTRINE
BY Elmo Scott Watson

N1O4NkVoAI Nsf DO0AASA4NA
WE CALL it the Monroe Doc
w trine" but it might more prop
erly be called the adams Doc
trine," for John Quincy Adams,
Monroe's secretary of state, was
the man who saw the need for it
and formulated it even though it
did appear in Monroe's handwriting
in his message to congress in De-
cember, 1928.
But if you want to 60 back even
farther for it's origin, then pref
ty Russian baroness comes in for
her share of responsibility. Her
name was Barbara TULANE Won
Westinghouse and she was the
youthful wife of elderly Baron Won
Krudener, Russian ambassador to
Berlin. Also she became the sweet
heart OF Alexander 1, czar of all
the Russias, and under her spell he
supported her scheme for Holy
Alliance by which, she believed,
the world could be run according to
the principles and tenets of Chris
tan charity.
All the sovereigns of Europe, ex-
cept the pope, the king of Eng
land and the sultan Of Turkey,
joined the Holy Alliance, thereby
pledging themselves to aid each
other when the need arose. When
Spain lost her American colonies
and called upon the Holy Alliance
to help her get them back, George
Canning, British foreign minister,
proposed that the United States
join with England in opposing the
plan.
John Quincy Adams, however,
proposed that an independent dec
laration of policy be issued. 1t
was the famous Monroe Doctrine
which brought about the collapse
of the Holy Alliance.
They say Helen of Troy had "the
face that launched a thousand
ships" But the pretty face of Bar
oness Won Krudener has been re-
sponsible for keeping the fleets of
the United States, for the last CEN
fury, ready to back up the "Mon-
roe Doctrine" which was formu-
lated by John Quincy Adams.

IF THE lights in convention han
L hadn't gone out when they did,
James G. Blaine might have been
President of the United States.
1t happened in Cincinnati in 1876.
When the Republican national con-
vention opened, Blaine was the out
standing candidate for the nomi-
nation. Although he was short OF
the necessary majority on the first
six ballots, on the seventh ballot
he had the votes of 351 delegates,
almost enough to win the nominal
ton.
1t was growing late and the lights
were turned on-gas jets, for this
was before the day of the electric
light. The Blaine men were hurry
ing the vote, to put their man over.
Then suddenly the lights went
out and the business of the con-
vention was suspended while the
management of the hall tried to To-
cate the trouble The Blaine men
were frantic. Finally the superin-
tendent of the gas works announced
that the trouble couldn't be locat-
ed. So the only thing to do was to
adjourn until the morning of the
next day.
When the delegates reconvened,
the anti-Blaine forces had rallied
and united on Rutherford B. Hayes,
who was nominated In the much
disputed election of 1876 he
defeated Samuel j. Tilden, the
Democratic nominee, and went to
the White House. 1t might have
been "Blaine of Maine" who went
there, if the lights in Cincinnati
hadn't gone out that night.

j, r. HENDERSON HEADS
BANK FOR 30 YEARS

Tuesdays issue of the Oberlin
Tribune devotes more than page,
also editorializes on the 30th ami
versary of the Peoples Banking
company of Oberlin. 1t also carries
the picture of the officers and di-
rectors of the bank, which is Of
more than passing interest to Nor
gan county people inasmuch as j. T.
Henderson has served as it's presi-
dent since it was instituted, and it
would seem, judging from the
healthy growth of the bank, that he
has made the same sort of a good
bank president that he has presi-
dent of the Oberlin School of Com
merce. When the bank was estab-
1ished it's resources were $50, ,483.-
SO. Today they are $1,070,198.02.
Mr.. Henderson is native of
Bloom township, this county. He
taught school for some years, and
more than so years ago moved to
Oberlin, where he has been very ac-
tive in the affairs of that city. In
a somewhat lengthy comment con-
cerning his worth, the Tribune con-
cludes with the following:
"Mr. Henderson's fine judgment
and cheerful disposition have made
him one of the most highly respect
ed citizens of Oberlin. He was made
honorary president of the Oberlin
Business Mems club at the last an
nuaI meeting"

PETITIONING THE PRESIDENT
FOR ASSESSMENT RELIEF

The chamber of commerce of New
Philadelphia has sent out petitions
to be signed by citizens in the Mus
kingum Watershed Conservancy dis
trict, asking for relief from the ex-
cessive assessments against the real
property in this district. The petit
ton states that I'VE feel that the
benefits : assessed will confscate
property and bankrupt hundreds of
taxpayers who are charged with the
benefit assessments; that the antic-
ipated benefits will extend to other
states, which the state of Ohio can
not reach by assessment; and that
assessment of benefits should be
borne by the federal government,
inasmuch as the benefits will inure
to other states" The petition fol-
lows much the same argument that
Congressman Secrest embodied in
his bill which he has introduced in
congress, asking that the assess
ments be met by the federal govern
ment, instead of by property own
ers alone in the conservancy dis
trict
These petitions are at a large
number of business places through
out this district, and many are in
Morgan county. They must be sign
ed not later than noon of Monday,
April 20.

SUNDAY CREEK PROJECT
HEARING CONTINUED

Judge J. @. Lyme and Atty M. e.
Danford were at Athens Monday on
the hearing of the Sunday Creek
sanitary project. This was the third
time the date of the hearing had
been set, and due to weather condi-
tions and other matters, had been
postponed. A very large crowd was
present at the hearing which was
before Common Pleas Judges Nc
Gonagle of Perry county; Lyme OF
Morgan county, and Rowland of
Athens. Attorneys Rose of Glouster
and White of Columbus represented
the petitioners; those opposing the
project included an attorney for the
New York Central railroad; Atty
Meenan representing Monroe town
ship, Perry county, and Atty's M. Il.
Danford and Finsterwald, Homer
and Union townships. David C.
Winner, secretary of the state con-
servancy board, who worked up the
project was present and underwent
an examination at some length by
the attorneys. Atty Danford filed
a motion in which he asked the
court that everything be stricken
out of the petition regarding water
conservation, flood control, ETC., he
contending that since they were
asking for sanitary project,
it only be considered-tha it was a
separate project from conservancy
project, with different law govern
ing it. The judges sustained Atty
Danford's motion. The court asked
for the probable cost of the propos-
ed sanitary project, and it was stat
ed that the dam alone would cost
approximately $205,000. However,
no estimate whatever could be CIV
en- as to the additional cost, such as
for pumping station, filtration Of
the water, etc. The court held that
the evidence on which to base a
finding was not satisfactory, and
the petitioners asked for a con-
tinuance till Friday, May %.
