NO ROOM FOR CRITICISM.

-'With the move to end pirce fixing and limitation of production well under way, the last bone of contention in the NRA - has been eliminated. Donald R. Richberg, Roosevelt coordinator, hag indicated a change of course for the WRA, and it is probably that all the major codes will be re-opened. : ‘Widespread benefits to every phase of industry in the nation clearly demonstrate the fundamental soundness of the principle involved in the workings of the National Industrial Recovery Act. Certain minor defects in the set up have ‘been brought to light, and immediately the national administration set out to correct them. :

Ra2markable frankness in admitting the defects in his policies has marked President Roosevelt's actions. Shortly after his inauguration -the President told the Amexican people that he would be among the first to admit his mistakes. The recent change in the policy of the NRA is a testimonial to the sincerity of our greatest peace-time Chief Execulive.

THEY ATTACK ROOSEVELT Every thinking American citizen should resent the implications of the Republican politicians and partisan Republican - press created by thelr continued charges that the sanctity of the eonstitution is being threatened. ¥ President Roosevelt is responsible for the New Deal. He is its spokesman, its creator, its chief executive. Every suggestion that the 'constitution: is being wundermined . carries with it the implied charge that President Roosevelt is dishonest, unpatriotic and incapable of directing the affairs of the nation. The congctitution stands, with its amehdments, as it did in the early days of American independence—the guiding beacon in our national gearch for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The supreme court of the United States stands today as the quardian of its guarantee. Any man whot would viplate the sanctity of the congtitution certainly must be called unpatriotic. And we doubt very much whether the people of America are ready to place such a name upon Franklin Delano Roosevelt, o

WILL LOSE FEW SEATS. Mark Sullivan, noted Washington correspondent and old deal spokes. man, thinks that the Democrats will lose few seats in Congress at the November eléction. Here’s what he said in recently in a syndicated article. “Nothing has happened since the Maine Election, and nothing now seems likely to happen, to change the interpretation that was put upon the Maine event when it took place. The rather over whelming quality of the Democratic victory in Maine led pnactically every qualified judge to say that in the general Congressional elections throughout the country on Novemfber 6th, the Democrats will win somewhat the same degree that they won in Maine. This judgment continues to stand * % * TFrom all of which any one willing to accept reality must conclude that in the Congressional elections in November ‘the Dembocrats are likely to have a victory throughout the country camparable to the vyictory they had in Maine.” , Well informed observers on the political front have seen the hand. writing on the wall. There are 12 Democratis Congressmen from Indiana and one egemocratic senator. Indiana and president Roosevelt need these Congressional members back in Washington, and Sherman Minton in the United States senate. This is one way to insure continuation 'of the Roosevelt program—vote straight on November 6th.

Fire Prevention Week

An appeal to all men women and children in Ligonier to co-operate with the local fire department in the annual observation of National Fire Prevention week,, which started Monday, was made fy Fire Chief Lloyd Williamson. .- Chief Williamson said he hoped that every citizen would realize the importancas of fire prevention. “Every school, church, elub, and organ. ization should bring before their members the facts of fire and should take steps to eliminate fire hazards. Factories shoul get their employes together and impress upon them the dangers of fire. A careless worker may cause a fire that would not only destroy the plant but put himselt ag well as hig fellow workers out of a job”, Williamson said. “Fiftecen Ilives are lost every 24 house and $l,OOO worth of property goes up in smoke every minute.” This toll includes at least 360 homes every 24 hours besides other buildings, 80 you can see the need of fire prevention, 1 urge every one to do his part,” the chief said. : “A clean house seldom dburns, Why not clean up that rubbish teday? Now is the time to check up on your chimneys and heating plants. Remenjber an ounce of prevention is worth more -than tons of water la. ter,” he concluded. Rl

We are all to give their neighbors a special invitation to go with them to Sunday school and church. And why not neighbors? Would you like ] to live in a city where a church bell is never heard, where the great hymns of the church are never sung, i where the good news of the gospel" is never preached, and no word of comfort ever spoken to the ibereéved; and the dead are buried like the ani- | mals of the field? What does the church mean to you? - | Our religious school convenes from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Preaching from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. We will be happy to have you in these services.

Christian Science Services

“Unreality’”” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ Scientist on Sunday October 1 . The Golden Text was: “All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the' lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (I John 2: 16, 17). Among the citations which*comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by wrong” (Jer, 22:13). - The Lesson Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science texthook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” Yy Mary Baker Bddy: “Everything good or worthy, God wade. Whatever lis valueless or baneful, He did not make—hence its unreality” (p. 525). “Unnecessary knowledge gained from the five senses is only tempdal,—the conception of mortal mind, the offspring of s2nse not of Soul, Spirit,—and symbolizes, all that is evil and per~ ishable” (p. 274). .

INDIANA & MICHIGAN ELECTRIC COMPANY

TO OUR CUSTOMERSS T s More than two thousand years ago - that wise old philosopher, Aristotle, said, "Taxation is the art of pluck- ' ing feathers from the goose with the : least amount of squawk.® The main * idea of tax gatherers has remained the same throughout the centuries — to make the taxes invisible, so that the ' man who pays the bill will not be aware of being taxed. Out of every dollar you pay this company you contribute 13 cents in taxes to support the Government, ¥ Federal, state and local. 3 We stand involuntarily in the : position of a "tax collector," for under the law regulating utilities, ! taxes become a part of the cost of - . service which must be borne by our . customers. Our policy for years has beem ' | to extend to our customers the benefits of economies and increased use of ‘ electricity in the form of rate s savings. To-day, the tax gatherers ' are piling taxes upon us at a greater ' rate than any possible savings. =
