sponslble, conservative and a faI
seeing government that will act re-
alistically rather than emotionally
to protect our neutrality and pre-
serve our isolation from any injuri-
Gus foreign entanglements.
When the American people go to
the polls in November to elect a
new congress they will have an ex-
cellent opportunity to fortify them
selves against the dangers of future
European crises by choosing those
men known to be solid, level headed
and dependable in moments of stress
and excitement. When they have
done this they will have done much
to keep America, and the world at
peace.
Under our constitution the con-
gress, and especially the senate, is
made responsible for any important
commitments which our government
may make to foreign powers And
there lies this nations greatest pro-
lection against the involvements
which might easily engulf u.s. 1t is
clear to be seen, therefore, that this
protection is only as strong or as
elect as members of congress.
In world full of trouble it is
natural that the harassed nations Of
Europe should turn to the United
States in the hope of enticing it in
to the controversies as a partizan
or as mediator to settle their ag.
gravating questions. The PEOPLE of
the United States have no desire to
play either role.
Never in our history have we been
wider awake than we are today to
the Vaccinations of European di-
plomacy. Because Of our experience
with it during and following the
World war we know it for what it is.
And as result of that experience
we know also our own weakness
when we are faced with the tempta-
ton to take the position of moral
and economic leadership. Apparent
ly it is almost too much for the
American temperament to resist.
We know full we'll what we must
guard against We have seen the
League Of Nations ignored and
scorned until today it is nothing
more than a statistical bureau. We
have seen the Locarno pact broken.

ODD NOTES ON EARLY DAYS

Ny readers will recall my noting
the action taken by the citizens re-
garding the attitude of The Enquir-
er, weekly newspaper published by
Cyrus McGlashan, on account of his
attitude toward the question OF
slavery.
This really was boycott and re-
duced the size of the paper from
the standard size of IA inches wide
by 20 inches long, to 4-cclumn pa
per only 10 inches wide by Is long.
II there are any of these papers
saved by any person any place iD
the county, would very much ap-
preciate having the owner let me
know about it, giving the date of the
issue, SO that, if l have not a copy,
nor have seen one, I may be allowed
to look over the issue that may be
preserved / do not have unbrokeD
files of these papers, in fact, have
but copies that may be three or four
weeks apart, and there might be
something in some of them that
would be of value to me regarding
some of the articles l am preparing
for the Democrat in this series Of
Side Lights on Local History.
In the issue of the Enquirer Of
Feb. 5, 1864, which is Vol. s, No. 5,
is to be found the call of the presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, for the first
draft of five hundred thousand men
for the army.
The effect of the boycott on adver-
tising may be seen when ] say that
where in previous issues more than
so percent of the paper was adver-
tising, in this issue may be found
less than a single column
War news makes up the larger
part of the paper. General N. P.
Banks issues his proclamation re-
garding the organization of a new

have an opportunity to know tell us,
system whereby, in the event OF
hostilities engulfing the United
States, an economic dictatorship
would be set up under the guise OF
an emergency war measure. Our
railroads, our banking system. our
agricultural industry and our manu-
featuring industry all would be
forced into a regimented mold.
The Importance to the voters OF
maintaining the congress in it's
rightful position as an independent
agency of the federal government
cannot be over-emphasized The
preservation Of it's democratic quail
tiles and its continued freedom from
the domination of any group are es-
sential to our prolonged neutrality
and freedom from an involvement
which might easily be made by an
error in one mans judgment, If he
should by any chance be permitted
the dominating voice in our foreign
policy.
We are tied in closely enough, as
it is. Secretary Of State Hull, hop
ing to widen the commerce and
trade of the United States, is engag-
ed in working out reciprocal trade
treaties for this nation. Here is
contact with the willy diplomats Of
Europe that in itself might possibly
be dangerous. Whatever commit
ments are contained in these treaties
need to be checked and rechecked as
we'll as those common to treaties Of
thicker political complexion.
And in the meantime the pressure
from outside continues. The Torono
Globe and Mail. for example, has
asked that President Roosevelt call
conference to arrange permanent
peace in Europe. 1t has viewed
scornfully our desire to remain
aloof, and has accused us of bad
faith in not lending our influence TO
the settlement of the Czechoslavak-
ian problem.
The necessity for caution and
conservation on our part is mani
fest. The one certain way to insure
the steadiness and serenity that we
need at this time is to see to it that
cautious and conservative congress-
men are elected this fall, congress-
men who will resist every pressure
from within our borders or without
to force a commitment from us or
to entice us into an act or an utter
ance that would even remotely place
US on one side or another of the
dangerous controversies raging
the world-Columbus

government in the state of Louis
lana. 1t is dated at New Orleans
on January IL, and addressed to the
people of Louisiana. In closing he
says: -. Louisiana, in the opening
of her history, sealed the integrity
of the union by comforting upon its
government the valley of the Mis-
sissippi.... In the war for independ-
ence, upon the sea, she crowned a
glorious struggle against the first
maritime power of the world b. 2
victory unsurpassed in the annals
Of war;. Let her people now an
nounce to the world the coming
restoration of the union. and her
fame will be immortal. -
The 77th o. V. I. was being sent
home for rest period and it's col
onel, VIM. B. Mason, addressed a
rousing, patriotic appeal to them,
telling them what wonderful men
they had been. In those days they
were more florid in their addresses
than we were during the late World
war
An exciting incident during a
wedding is related. A 1t J. C.
DOuSe was tO Ue udfflou TO MISS
Sarah Brown. AS the wedding par
ty was entering the room for the
ceremony the veil of the bride
caught fire from a stove and in an
instant she was enveloped in flames.
But they were eXtingushed without
serious injury to the bride, and she
secured another dress and the cere-
many was completed A rather
quaint way of expressing the fact
she was kissed by all present was in
these words: "....Her father won the
race. take the luscious boon.
The dutiful daughter sung out in
ringing voice My father shall kiss
me first'.."

party opposed to it and of course no
good was to be found in it.
During the war sanitary fairs
were held from time to time at
many cities. These were for the pur-
pose of raising funds similar to our
Red Cross work of today. The one
just held at Cincinnati raised more
than 100000. At some of them a
stamp was sold, that, while it was not
good for postage, was used within
the limits of the city where issued.
Recently Scott's, the authority on
postage and other stamps and the
issuers of the annual catalog of
stamps, has listed these stamps in
their catalog.
A very successful revival at the
NJ E. church is reported.
On Friday, the 18th of February
there was to be public reception
to all the soldiers who were home
on furlough and to any of those
who, having been discharged, were
intending to re-enlist. A big day
was being arranged for them, with
the usual speeches and picnic.
Among other items we note GER
tain warrants issued against coun
ty funds, as follows: For HI. Duns-,
moore, So for canvassing the votes
of Morgan county; for Andrew Kah-
Ter, 81 for services as school exam
iner; several items for James A.
Adair for publishing public notices.
John w. Atkinson advertises that
he will pay reward for the return
of four white shoats that have stray
ed from his farm in Marion town
ship
Ice in the Ohio river has been do
ing considerable damage. Five boats
of coal and four barges were carried
over the falls at Louisville; the
Steamer Fitzhugh was sunk and was
a total loss, it had 1913 bales of cot
ton and other cargo on board.

anese invasion of China, leaving us
in ludicrous position when we pro-
ceeded in good faith to carry out
the terms of pact to preserve the
territorial integrity of China. France
has let down Czechoslavakia despite
the treaty committing her to the de-
fense Of that small nation. The pat
tern is familiar. The whole inter
national mess is clearly one that we
can we'll remain aloof from.
1t is easy to say this but difficult
to accomplish. Many of our states
men find it impossible to refrain
from expressing their views. no mat
ter how violent, no matter how
wrong. Senator Key Pittman, the
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, the other day made an
unnecessary blast for one in his po4
sition against Germany, Italy and
Japan. While he may have express
ed the feelings of many Americans
he stepped pretty far into forbidden
territory for man in his RESPONSE
BILE post.
1t is this kind of erraticism and
emotionalism which Americans wish
to escape. We are not called upon
to express ourselves for or against
any European partizan. President
Roosevelt recently felt that it was
necessary for him to explain his po-
eition and TO deny that he had ever
given any European country any
reason for believing that America
was siding one way or another with
the antagonists in the present con-
troversy.
There is a so-called progressive,
liberal element in our population
that today is clamoring loudly for
our participation in Europe's current
struggles. It is, in fact, a left wing,
radical element. 1t is found to be
active likewise in England and
France. II we are Witnessing now
events leading up to second world
war we are seeing an emphasis diff
ferent from that preceding the 9th.
er one.
That conflict, it has been charged,
was brought on by the conserva-
tives, the capitalists, The money
powers. This one, if ii comes, Will
clearly be brought about by the rad
icals, and, unfortunately, radicals
of kind who today have part in
our own government. 1t is these
who must be restrained from the
free exercise of their theoretical
their erratic and change
able tactics
Already they have devised, so

ORR SAFETY IN THE WORLD
DEPENDS ON OUR VOTERS

Whether this or the next Euro
pean crisis draws the United States
any closer to the possibility of an
involvement with the dangerous di-
plomacy of that continent depends
largely upon the American people
and their actions in the near future.
Here more than in any other nation
the individual man and woman can
exercise his or her own best judg-
ment to determine the country's pol
icy in international affairs.
America wants and needs to be at
peace with the rest Of the world,
but to realize it's hopes and necessi-
ties in this respect a great deal more
must be done than merely to ex-
press the desire. 1t is within the
full power of the American people
to maintain in Washington a re-
