Must Stay Out! Says Sen. Johnson

and rampant and insidious propa-
ganda, for us to maintain our age
old policies. Beware of the words
we can't keep out, our entry into
the war is inevitable, we must
fight to preserve democracy and all
the devils messages We heard 20
years ago.
Think for America. A decent
regard for our own,' our exper-
ience not yet forgotten, should
make our cardinal rule-keep out.
We want no war. America mus.
be on guard now from the cajoi-
cry Of those within and the bland
ishments of those without. We

To the Editor of The Herald:
Thought I would write you a few
lines on what the Wayne county audi
tors could have done to save the tax
payers thousands Of dollars, il they
would make recommendation TO the
Legislature, but they have done nothing
Al this time one Of them is up for re-
election What they should recommend
Is the adjustment Of the Wayne coun-
ny sheriffs office, as the county is most
an cities or villages now. and the state
police could look after the remaining
territory. Same goes for the Wayne
county drain commissioner. That office
should De abolished. The same reason
certain interests now are interested in
having the judges not in for life. That
il good for judges, but no for anyone
else IL seems natural the more a per-
s1n gets the more he wants. We have
ire Judge sick who hasn't been able To

Nauld we do If they all got sick. Leo
