The central committee would like to pull Col. Frank Knox off! the political platform. He doesn't, do much good and every ouce in l a while makes a statement that. get them in bad. Indiana leads all states in the j Union. It has the best roads, the best schools and the best institutions and has no bonded indebtedness. That ought to mean something to the average Hoosier. Politics is bad stuff when it reaches the proportions it seems to have arrived at in Spain. The great difficulty is that even when one side wins by force, they haven't settled the thing and strife may go on there for years. Unfair intimatiors that Presi-; . dent Roosevelt and the Democratic party is favorable to alien organizations have been denied from the White House as they should be. Os course it is as Mr. Early says, “conceived in malice and born of political spite/’ Bluffton's annual street fair is on this week and several thousand Adams county folks will visit it during the five days. The Parlor! City has a reputation for holding' one of the best street fairs in the i middle west and it is probably the oldest in number of successive years operated. It won t be long now until the world series ball games will make , you forget your troubles, lie they! business, personal or political. The I only difficulty is that they will all' be played in New York City and few from tins neck r»f the woods will get a chance to root except via the radio reports. The Yellow Jackets did a good job of dedicating Worthman Field for night sports by defeating their • old rivals, the Bluffton Tigers. It was a well played game by both teams and the big crowd enjoyed it to the limit. The lighting system is one of the best we have seen and the playground will be a CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers arc requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

popular place for many years to ■ come. • The Republicans admit they cannot elect a United States senate. ■; which means, if they could win the , i presidency, they could only stand int ill. The same thing is true in Indiana. The senate is practical- ' ly sure to be Democratic because of the large number of holdovers. We can't imagine the people wantJ ing that kind of government. The board of directors of the -Citizens Telephone company acted wisely in selecting Arthur | Voglewede to be a member of that I board, succeeding his late father, Charles J. Voglewede, who for ' many years had served capably iand*wisely. Arthur is one of the ! younger men of the community | who is making good as attorney - and in a business way and he will ' add strength to the directing body iof a splendid institution like the j telephone company. The gross income tax does not i please those who by that means pay more taxes than they did under I the old plan, but the fact remains j that some how and some way. there , must be taxes and it certainly j should not be returned to the old I scheme of making the proper! p owner carry the entire burden. Neither should it be a sales tax | that makes the public pay more than by any other means. After ( it is all hashed out, they will prob • ably come back to a gross income t tax with some corrections. This is | a poor time to lose your head and Ido something that will stop the j prosperity run we have been enI joying the past few months. The campaign is on and for the I next six weeks, the battle will wage warmer and warmer. The I election in Maine after all the bally- : booing was really a Democratic vic- | tory with White winning for senator by a scant 4,000 in a state that is admittedly 60,000 to 100.000 Republican. The outlook is favorable to the Democrats, even though they are putting out a lot , of propaganda straw votes, expect- ; ed to lower the resistance of the ! Democrats. The Lloyds, who lead , the world in gambling, have established odds of 5 to 3 on Roosevelt. Its'a business with them and they are not fooled by the wild claims of those who would drive from ofi tice those who have proven so helpI ful and so friendly to the people. o ♦ ♦ STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who relieve mat human destniy is guided by the planet, the dailj' horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

HEARST HURLS I CHARGES ANEW Newspaper Publisher Says “Enemies” Support Roosevelt .. 1 New York. Sept. 21 —<U.R> " l! liani Randolph Hearst, publisher of ( a group of newspapers, charged today that President Roosevelt re-1 ceives the political support of "en emies of the American system of j government, and that he has done his best to deserve the support of all such disturbing aud destructive elements/’ Hl« statement, published today in his newspapers, was in reply to ! a statement issued by the W hite House Saturday in which it was asserted that "a certain notorious | newspaper owner' was ttempting "to give the impression that Presi ; dent Roosevelt accepts the support I of alien organizations hostile to the American form of government. “•••Let mo say," Hearst saiu. “that 1 have not stated at any lime whether the president willingly or unwillingly received the support of I : the Karl Marx socialists, the Frankfurter radicals, communists and anarchists, the Tugwell bolshe viks. and the Richberg revolution ! ists which constitute the bulk of bis following. "I have simply said aud shown that he does receive the support i ' of these enemies of the American system of government, aud that he . has done his best to deserve the ! support of all such disturbing and ' destructive elements." Felix Frankfurter is professor of law. Harvard University law school. Rexford G. Tugwell, ou leave of absence from Columbia University, i is head of the resettlement adtnin ' i istratiou. Donald R. Richberg. famous as a labor lawyer, held i various posts in the Roosevelt ad ' ministration and for a while was I NRA administrator. He has re-1 turned to his private law practice. • The White House statement. I signod by President Roosevelt’s assistant secretary, Stephen Early.! was issued Saturday Th anticipation • of the attack on the administration j I that appeared in the Hearst newspapers Sunday morning. This at- 1 tack as based upon an article by i Earl Browder, head of the com- ■ munisl part of America, in the Russian edition ot Communist international, a publication in«var-| ious languages. It quoted from the article as follows: "Communists can join •• • in • • • supporting ; Roosevelt." The article charged also that Browder worked directly under the orders of the Moscow government, that he wished to re-elect Presi-! dent Roosevelt in 1936 as a pre- i lude to formation of a strong and revolutionary Fanner-Labor party , in 1940. He wished the defeat df Gov. Alf M. Landon, the article charged, because his election would make this program impossible. Yesterday Browder and the Daily Worker, the organ of the commuu--1 ist party, replied. The Worker l said that what Browder “had actually written, iu a plea for a united front against reaction through a Farmer-Labor party, was: ’We 1 ! communists can enter such a united front with workers who sup-1 port Roosevelt. Os course we do not commit ourselves to Roosevelt in any way by this.’ “The dots of omission in the j ' Hearstian misquotation speak for themselves. They are the weapons of a desperate man, using such ' words as serve his papers in deliberately distorting what has been said. By such a method there is not a man in America who could not be convicted of murder, rape, Ipr any other crime. Such have been always the methods of liars and charlatans, at the head of which <lass stands William Ranlo ph Hearst.” ( g j ;>rowder said the crucial sentence was taken from a speech he made in Madison Square Garden before 20,000 persons in May. What he said then, he pointed out, was reported generally in the American press. The "supposedly secret” documents published by

By M.URKE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated Kewa Writer NEW YORK —As another Broadway season gets under way, acton, producers and playwrights an speculating as to what type of play will be the hit of the 1936-37 Mason. Last season was marked by the arrival of several top-notch comedies. including "Boy Meets Girl", "Idiot's Delight”, "First Lady” and ether?. Something new was also offered playgoers in "Winterset”, poetic drama with social overtones. Study of the past few seasons and Use current trends in the short story and novel has led several posted observers of the American theater to believe that the next dramatic cycle will have to do with religion. By thia, they hasten to add, they do not mean a theme which is concerned with theology or dogma, but one which sets forth the fundamental faith of a believing man. They predict that such a play would be welcomed with enthusiasm by theater fans who are fed up with the similarity of offerings of recent seasons. Frustration School Doomed During the post-war period a philosophy of frustration dominated the offerings of playwrights and authors generally, it was mainly a doctrine of nullification which looked upon the passing scene with cynical pessimism and was fundamentally iconoclastic in tone. The extent to which this school dominated American thought for a decade is still felt. Although it was perpetuated by the depression, the past three years have brought with them new hope, new confidence and a reassertien of many st the eld values. Thia renaissance has not found
