"I amss" she said "for to refresh our

"You cannot bring about prosperity by dscouraging
thrift"
"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the

You cannot help the wage by pulling down the

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by en-

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich"

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them

Observers here who two weeks
ago admitted frankly that Pres
ident Truman had lost control of
his congress, and that his legis-
lative program had gone glin-
mering, today are not so sure.
These same observers are Won
dering if they have not again
underestimated the political sa-
gacity of that Man from Mis-
souri,.
There had been a lot of news
in the public prints that the pres
ident had been handed, again
and again, definite defeats at the
hands of congress. But what &C
tually has happened? When it is
all simmered down, the pres
ident has been defeated in a
senate committeeman in the
senate-on his nomination of
Mon Wallgren as head of the ma
tional security resources board
and he was defeated when he
asked the senate to change its
rules on cloture. Those are his
only two defeats. To even up
those defeats, he won out on his
nomination of James Boyd as di-
rector of the bureau of mines
and he defeated the house on
the S90-a-mOnth Rankin veteran
pension bill.
And outside of that, every 9th
er single action of either house
or senate committee has been in
favor of the Truman legislative
program. In other words, after
80 days of this congress the pres
ident as yet has not lost a single
legislative measure which al
ready have become law. Nine
teen other measures have either
passed one of the houses or have
been given favorable committee
action. 1t is admitted, however,
that the presidents big fights
are still ahead-repeal Of the
Taft-Hartley act, health insur-
ance, broadening of the social
security, universal military
training and economic controls.
On the latter-economic con-
trols-the presidents opposition
are pointing out that the trend
is away from initiation and point
ed toward deflation and SO there
is no need for the standby econ
omic controls for which the
president is asking. But as mat
ter of fact, the president and his
advisors declare that the stand

and employment.

THE POETS CORNER
NOBLE COUNTY ROADS

In reading through my Journal,
An article see,
About our Noble county roads

When the old grey mare was our model T.
Twenty years ago or more.
Yet who wants to stay in rut?
Old Dobbns had his day,
The old Cole oil lamp
That has long been stored away.

And muddy road we see;
When we drive through farming country

That's a record hard to beat,
Regardless of all arguments
That may chance to meet.

Deserve praise of the highest kind.
They work through rain and sleet and snow
And never seem to mind.

NOTES
BY GEORGE c. PHILPOT

Monday evening several bills
were passed but l shall review
only those that effect Noble
county.
Sub. H. B. No. 24-Mr. Ben
nett, passed 1920. This bill
would prevent a practice COM
monty known as "bootlegging'
pupils. 1t requires that the board
of education in whose district the
pupil resides or the pupils par
ents must pay the full tuition to
the school he attends. Many
schools have been accepting a
mere token payment in order to
get some pupils,
Am. H. B. No. 103 was re-re-
ferred to Education committee al
request of the author. He dis
covered that health districts have
at the present time the power his
bill would give them.
Tuesday afternoon the bill tc
permit bowling was brought ur
for reconsideration and after 6
long period of debate and amend,
ing it passed 80-45. 1t was de,
feated last week.
Am. S. B. No. 70 which would
permit municipalities to pay dues
for membership in municipal or.
CARNATIONS was defeated 40-81
Under such a law municipalities
could use taxpayers money tc
create a lobby to influence the
legislature to appropriate money
to them.
Furthermore, it was reliably
reported that this is a move to.
ward reapportionment of repre-
sentatives and senators to the
General Assembly. The result o.
reapportionment would be only
one representative for a group o.
six, eight or ten rural countie.
while the cities like Cleveland
which has seventeen in thi.
House and eighteen two year!
ago would get even more. I votec
no.
II. B. No. 425 provides for pub.
fishing of lists Of instruments Oh
documents recorded by county
recorders. 1t provided for a five
cent charge by persons having
documents recorded. This fee
would be paid to the newspaper
reporter who prepared the lis
for publication. l voted no.
The big fight of the day, one
that has been brewing all thi
season, was on the Christian
Science bill This bill permit!

are healing by prayer. The con
test devolved itself, l think, int

bill. The bill was recommended
for passage by a vote of 6 to 0.
This was quite surprise because
on Tuesday evening Governor
Lausche had the Democratic
leaders of the Senate out to the
mansion for dinner. BY rumor,
we learned the purpose of the
meeting was to delay action on
the school measure and to dis
courage the growing sentiment in
favor of a gross receipt tax to
replace the present sales tax.
am sure the food and service
were the best, but last nights
action by Senate demonstrated
the failure of the dinner.
Senator Bartunek, a Democrat
from Cuyahoga county made the
motion which recommends pas
sage and Senator Jackson, a
Democrat from Youngstown, sec
onded the motion. Evidently the
pressure from home was too
great to be ignored. The bill will
come to the House education
committee for hearings. Pro-
ponents should be prepared to
appear soon if they desire to be
heard.
The Ohio Turnpike bill had a
rough" time in the House high
ways committee Wednesday
night when the opponents were
given a chance. They will con-
tinue their arguments next
week. House Bill No. 435 was
heard by the committee. The
bill forbids public utilities to
sell merchandise such as stoves,
refrigerators, etc.

Thursday morning the only
bill that might affect Noble
county was Am. S. B. No. 100
