The Great Game Of Politics
Weakening on Home Front Chorsed. With
Roosevelt Domestic Policies Blamed

the outside when 1t Is being 30
tragically torn to pieces inside. And
from Democratic House COM
mittee there recently. came a blis-
tering indictment Of the waste, in
eptitude and confusion of the whole
defense machinery.
Silence In Connivance.
Every reasonably informed person
knows these things to be true
knows, too, that they are getting
worse, not better. Everybody talks
about them, but nothing is done
about them because everything
heads up to Mr.. Roosevelt and
nothing can be done about him. In
such times as these there is real
reluctance to criticize the President.
Yet 1t seems worse than foolish to
pretend that things are all right
when 1t Is so clear they are all
wrong. Under such circumstances,
to keep quiet is to connive in de-
ceiving the people-to their great
and ultimate suffering. RESPONSE
bility for the situation, which is
so bad that Gen. johnson asserts
If something Is not soon done to
straighten it out there will be he'll
to pay in this country" Is directly
upon Mr.. Roosevelt and upon no
one else.
He has denied that his desk Is
the real bottleneck, but it is none
theless. Appealing to the country
for national unity. the people have
seen Mr.. Roosevelt yield first to the
farm lobby and then to the labor
lobby. They find him warning OF
the danger of imitation and yet
refusing to take the obvious steps
to avert it. They see him fumbling
with the vital price-control problem,
shrinking from placing any limit
whatever upon farm prices and
wages. without which the whole ef-
fort to control prices becomes ABB
surd. They see him, with q belated
and feeble protest, permitting q
politically inspired tax bill to take
shape, and they know that he has
violated his own recommendation
that every non-defense expenditure
be cut to the bone.
Much Beyond Dispute.
Further. they know that he has
allowed the Federal finances to get
out Of control; that he persists in
keeping incompetent men in. impor.
tant positions; that he has done
nothing to check the radical New
Deal group. bent upon using the
crisis to promote their State social
ization plans. All this, and more,
is known beyond dispute. It is not
even denied. As q result, the de-
fense effort lags. As 1t grows
stronger in military and naval equip
ment, the Nation grows weaker in
every other way.
The idea that, because Of the war,
these known facts should be soft
pedaled or ignored seems q danger
Gus one indeed. II that idea is to
be accepted, the disaster, when 1t
comes-as it inevitably must come
will be complete. A far better idea
would seem to be for the millions
who are supporting Mr.. Roosevelt's
foreign policy to understand fully
what is going on in Washington
and exert their weight to force the
President into some approach to
competency In the handling of our
internal affairs. Because, sound as
is his leadership in the foreign field,
what he is doing to US at home Is q
crime.

Next Methodist
Youth Hour To
Be Best Yet

Are you doing anything on
Tuesday evening, Feb. 25, at
1880 p. M? No. Well you just
better drop up to the social
rooms of the First Methodist
church, located on N. Fifth
street and at that time just see
what is being done in the way
of a program that will be sure
to interest you.
The new recreation program
at First Methodist church was
instituted to keep young people
off the streets and other such
places after school hours and at
ter dark. -.
At intervals, a "Youth Hour"
entertainment in the form of a
radio program at which time
young people perform for the
benefit of those in the recreation
program and their guests.
This presentation will be
known as the all star revue and
past performers as we'll as many
new faces will be seen IN this
hour.
Those in charge of the recrea-
ton youth Hour" discovered

piano and this star will return
to the next "Youth Hour"
Any groups that desire to sit
in a body such as service clubs,
Scouts groups, etc., are urged to
contact Gene Thomas, recreation
director at First Methodist
church as only 250 seats will be
available. There will no admis-
sion charge.

private who was listed as being
away without leave for a week,
although he never left the post.
The private, youthful Blu
Murray of Newark, was going
through duties with a Signal
Corps unit, when two majors
walked up to him and gruffly
demanded if he were Bill Muir
ray.
"Why-why, yes" he said.
"Where've you been for a
week." demanded one officer.
Right here" the miserable
private answered.

.icr, looking from Murray to the
Identification card he was hold
ing.
"I-I never had a black NOUS
tache. / couldn't" replied the
youth, who is as blond as Mad
eleine Carroll. "But / am Bill
Murray"
The officers relented a bit
and began checking their own
records. They found that Bill
had been told by one officer a
week ago that he was transfer
red to the Signal Corps unit.
Bill reported to the unit, was
accepted and put to work. There
was no official record of the
transfer, however.
AS to the black moustache,
that was just a mistake, too.

reads correctly, Blonde, clean

One of the interesting side
lights of the basketball games
at the Newark high school gym
is to watch fellows like Al
Beardshear, Jay Cooper, the

looking for seats and the aero

crowded and precarious positions

where all the lighters light, and
where all the clocks keep cor

people were in the living room

it was $3.50. Just for fun we
asked for watch time, with these
results, 1874, 1892 and 8:19. A
tour of the clocks revealed the

proof to our contention that
nearly every household is filled

that don't dry, whisk brooms and
clothes brushes that are never

come from milk during 1910 and
an increase in volume of produc-
tion are indicated by the annual
report on milk receipts of Bor-
denis Dairy & Ice Cream Com
pany of Newark and Borden
branches in Columbus and Zanes-
vile whose combined purchases
made the company the largest
single purchaser of Licking
County agricultural products.
During the year the company
bought milk and cream whose
value totalled $461, ,686.95, as
compared with $408,193.93 in
1899. Milk production rose from
2O,OO2, $50 pounds in 1889 to TO-
863,387 pounds last year, and
the value from 1911 ,826.00 in
1889 to $422,820.00 last year.
Cream shipments to the COM
pany declined because the
drouth last summer sharply cur
tailed production. However,
during the year the company
bought through its cream sta
tions and routes at Etna and
Johnstown, and it's Hebron route,
142,127 pounds of butter-fat
with a value of $38,866.95. De-
spite a decline from the 161 1882
pounds of butter-fat in 1889, an
improved butter market brought
the payments considerably above
the $36,907.93 paid out in that
year.
At years end, there were ap-
proximately 400 farms in the
county selling to the four COM
panies - Borden's of Newark,
Moores & Ross and Hamilton
Milk Company of Columbus, and
Moores & Ross of GAINESVILLE.

NO CHANGE IN
 MINORS CASE
Registrant to Remain With Board l5-A; No. 1 Man
 in Lottery Drawing

Henry w. Minor, Jr., 30 Willow street, who drew order No. as a registrant in Board 15-A, and was Mater found to belong in Beard 15-B, will retain his No. classification, it has been announced.
 Similar errors have been made in other irGtances, 1t was pointed out, and rulings have been handed down, keeping the men within the jurisdiction of the board which is- sued serial numbers to them.
 Nevertheless, if he so wishes, Mi- nor may appeal the case, and re- quest Q hearing to determine his exact status. Whether he will do 50 is somewhat doubtful, however, since the youth has expressed himself as unconcerned whatever decision the draft board may ar- rive at.
 Minor registered in New Hamp- shire on July 1, and his card was forwarded here. By come lr1ex- plained mistake. 1t came into pos- session of Board 15-A, and he was given serial number 196. This number was the first drawn at the national lottery Thursday night, and Minor was the only registrant affected In this locality, since Board 16-A Is the lone district with erial numbers in excess of that amount. ae" 4gfrt
 The highest registrart in Board l5-B holds serial number lo3, and 1t would therefore have been irn- possible for Minor to have been selected first if he were properly registered in that board.
 Ofacials indicated, however, that he might have drawn serial number 9S, the second picked at the na- tional lottery, and the first applica- ble to 15-B, if he had been regisa tered there in the first place.
 It was ruled yesterday by Col. William J. LaraSh, legal advisor of the state draft board, that Mi- nor must remain in l5-A.

Completion of the pipe line, re- quired by next June under the coi1- tract but expected before then, will solve a major defense problem f6r the city. A break in the present single line, built 46 years ago, would create a grave emergency for fac- tories and househ0lders. Heavy defense orders and lack of suffiI cient water supply of their own has forced the large factories and many smaller plants to buy large amounts of city water.
 The Lock Joint Pipe Company plans to manufacture the cement pipe for the project on Freight street. After hardening the pipes will then be taken to points where 1t is needed. aa
 The city now will proceed with plans for new dam, reservoir and . chlorination plant at Morris. Aid from the federal government will be sought under the LanhaYn corti- munity service act. The city also applied for federal aid in the pipe. line job but decided not to make any further delay and is now banking on federal funds for part of the cost of the rest of the whole project. "
 The city has already advertised for sale of $1,000oo0 in water supply bonds, half the amount the legisla- ture authorized it to issue. Other bonds will be sold later, depending on whether federal aid is forthcori1~ 4 ing for the second part of the. project. WY
