IT'S ANOTHERSTORY" We've said it before, and we say it again when a Democrat says there's something rotten in the state, of the Republican party in Indiana, it's labeled "politics;" but when the Republicans throw verbal brickbats at each other, then it's another story. Plenty have been thrown over the state in the last few weeks, but without visible salutary effect. About the hottest and heaviest has come from no less a person than the former secretary of the Republican state central committee, Claude Billing of Akron, who publishes the Akron News.
Members of the Democratic State Editorial Association pinned a "few bouquets on their fellow editor, of the oppor site political faith; at their recent meeting, and it was suggested that the following editorial from Mr. Billing's own paper, the Akron News, 'be re-printed in all the Democratic papers of the state. ,,'.'' "IS MORE PROOF NEEDED "On another page-in this issue of the News -appears a
political advertisement sponsored by the Republican state central committee which deserves some comment. Copy for this advertisement consists entirely of an editorial from the Indianapolis News and is entitled, .'Political Smoke and Liquor Control Fire.' This definitely tips the hand ( of those now serving in control of the party in Indiana and shows exactly where they stand on the senatorial nomination, not thajt'.there was any doubt in the minds of most Republicans dveittaistate. But this is the first definite evidence and shows that the committee is so desirous of nominating its candidate that those in control will even spend money on. an advertising campaign to get the job done.
"This is the first time within the memory of many Re-' publicans that the Indiana Renublican state central commit
tee was so prejudiced for a candidate for nomination that it .would spend party money to further his campaign. '.' "By; use of this editorial th state ' central committee - also. has displayed that lit has chosen sides -in the -coming
battle pi the giants a name given to the tight that is ' brewing between the two big daily newspapers .in Indian
apolis, tsy casting their lot with the News the committee is
. ticket in the fall election And the Star wields a potent influence, as was demonstrated in the recent--primary in TV'Tnvfnn nnnir
'. '"The editorial states: 'It can be said, in all fairness.
that enforcement has tightened up.' Well, this may be true in
other parts of the state, but it certainly doesn't apply to
fulton county. Slot machines are operating daily in three Diaces in the county, a floor shnw in whirh the 'artrpseea'
kiss the customers is a nightly affair in another spot and at least one place is operating on a permit that is held by a thin technicality. Who said 'enforcement' has 'tightened up'? ;lf the liquor business has to be run this way,, then make , mine lemonade!. " "It was a sad day for Republicans in Indiana when Bob Lyons was made national committeeman by a small clique .of politicians. It took a lot of pressure by several big newspapers to get this mistake corrected. .Now the same group has plans completed for another convention. If Governor ' Gates is going to, allow them to control the nominations, then
"i.v. u w "it; .expense 01 naving a convention : ier, tnem make the slate and notify, the. rest of us Republicans. Of course, we won't have any place to ero on November 5. but if
it is a pretty day perhaps the golf courses will still be open."

Box 502, Merom, Indiana, May 29, 1946. "Sam", Editoi;, c-o Sullivan Times, Sullivan. Indiana, Dear Sir: I shall answer your questions as briefly and as honestly as 1
can:
(1) I ant very anxious to have the boys come home as rapidly is they can b& brought. I know somethiag of that "want to get
home feeling" they experience;
and also how it feels to wait for wneonc to. come hoEae. 1 save lie highest respect for the. boys nd girls in the armed forces who have sincerely tried to defend our country and champion
justice and freedom for H.umani-
tyjfeut I am certain, they .lave
been misled.
The first World War was to 'end: war" and "make the world safe for democracy." Instead, it 'made. Russia safe for communr.m", and a large part of Europe was "made safe for fascisra"; ind instead of "ending .war", many of the same generation fought in the second World War. World War II was fought to "finish World War I" (that is, to further "end war," and "make the world safe for democracy" plus the added "reason" of stopping "fascist militarism." as it ex
pressed itself in Germany, Italy and Japan.
Did World: War II accomplish
its end? No. Instead, hav-
made most of Europe "safe for
communism", and a large, ftart of
the world, "sa( fof fascist) militarism" and it creeping into,
our own country in form of
"temporary, extension of Selective Service". The very "militarism" we were to "kill" in. Germany, Japan. The extenrion of Selective Service is not "temporary", and it is NOT enacted to "bring :-e-Hef" to the boys. One of our highest military men, recently -aid, "I don't care if we don't
draft a man, I WANT CONSCRIPTION." - I am' one of that .".rowing minority which, believes that the real enemy of any nation :s not another nation of common people, .but WAR itself: and that conscription ALWAYS feeds t;hat war system. Therefore, in
stead . of killing . my fellow-
man (who is not my- enemy at all) I am going to do my fighting on another front I shall give all I have to kill inscription and war. Then the boys can come home to stay, not - to go back in ten years or to send a son in ten years. I have , isome evidence to support the assertion that , the boys will be the first to
support such action; and many
will turn (as I have) :rom "exsoldiers" in a "profiteer's war" to give their lives for an atomic age of peace. (2) Shall we call the boys home, immediately, and "sit securely within our own borders, grinning, complacently?" We must bring the boys home (the sooner the better); but we must do far more than, "sit securely" and "grin complacently" for the atomic age will not move with a "grin", and in that atomic age NO ONE is secure.
'And in atomic war no one is "victor" unless one can be 3
"victor in hell." If we REALLY want peace, we must dig to the bottom of the International Cartel system, and clean every corner of that house which links our profiteers with the ' imperialistic activities in oil, rubber, etc. around the world. (Read "One Hell of a Business", Englebrecht; and "Merchants in Death", by same author and a colleague.) No oil or rubber is worth your boy's life or mine. I am willing to give my life for freedom, jus-
j tice, liberty, I am NOT willing
to give (or risk), my life for the Standard Oil Company in Arabia, Iran or Indiana; nor am I willing to. give my life to' preserve the British Empire in In-
dia and around the world, or

The Old Hickory 4-H Club of Jackson Township,, held thei fifth, meeting May 29, at the Hymera High- School. - A regular business-, meeting was. held and the club, decided to go, to ;3hakamak June 4. A- demonstration on baking was given by Wilma House and Jetta Croney. Refreshments of iced tea and brownies were served. The next meeting will be June 6 at one o'clock.

to kick around the traditions. Thus, he announced May 31st as the opening date for the opening of ' his three-ring-and-two-stage "Around the World," which con-
cerns the travels of the fabulous
Phineas Fogg. And by way of making .'the critical gents stick around Mr. Welles is teaming with Cole Porter. However, astute producers had already figured that the Summer trade would be as profitable if ; not more so than the lush Win- . ter nights, and matinees. So George Abbot is due to trot out a new melodrama titled, "The ' Dancer," and there will be others. . ' The old season, having passed out in a burst of expert theatrical marksmanship in "Annie Get Your Gun," the prize-donors began to pass around the customary medals. The Sidney Howard Memorial-Award of $1,200 went to Garson Kanin for his "Born Yes
terday" and Arthur Laurents for
"Home of the Brave." Ana, to
those who have followed the show shop circuit, this is an interesting combination. For, although many critics considered "Home of the Brave" one of the very fine things
of the season, it died after 69 per
formances. It was, indeed, an ', ivwtetandtoff drama of the war and

to die so young is one of those mysteries of the business. "Born
Yesterday," on the other hand, is !
a hilarious and bmngly caustic
commentary concerned with the rise of a junk dealer to the status of a national figure in business and ipolitics thanks to fantastic war ; profits. Oddly enough, another national prize had gone just
a few weeks earlier to "State of
the Union," another satire which ; dealt with the creation of a presidential candidate.
It may be recalled, however, that the Critics Circle refused to put their O. K. on any play of the season, but did manage to draw shouts of fury from Playwrights Maxwell Anderson and Ben Hecht. . And, as a final bit . of excitement at the season's end came the critical controversy over the Old Vic company from London. Just how hot and controversial was the Old: Vic debates that one prominent dramatic critic is. out of a job. Burton Rascoe, an old timer in the book reviewing field and a play reviewer for some years, put on his hat and walked out because a review in which he had lambasted the British visitorswas killed by the editors. As one very well aware of the tenacity with which "first line" critics cling to their jobs until death overtakes them, this gesture hits something of a new all-time high. ( However, as their final presen- j tations the Old Vic troupe gave such fine productions of the Soph

John persuaded Jessie to let Fagnani painf her portrait.
JESSIE Gonh-ibuted generously to' charities and at one time, in 1888, was putting thirteen young people through college. Everyone came, to her for help. She kept no track, of how much money she gave away, for she learned that . John was making no attempt to keep track of what came in; there .seemed an inexhaustible supply - . . . John per-. suaded her to let Fagnani paint her portrait ... ' The five-year period of tranquillity and prosperity drew to a close. Jessie began to notice that John was growing worried, that his absences from home were longer and he was jumpy, and taut. She had to piece together the fragments to learn that, the railroad was running into tremendous and unexpected costs ... - John arrived at Pocaho one night looking pale and ill. Jessie's heart sank at the sight of him. He said hoarsely,
"It's gone," he scud. ''Everything s gone! '
. "It's gone, Jessie, everything's gon.c; The morlcnge fsolclers have taken over our r9road." ,. ; -, She kissed the corner of his mouth. "You will plan another railroad." . "People are saying that a transcontinental railroad is an impossible dream, that the idea should be abandoned." : . "We'll use the rest of our assets to get started aain." John's eyes held hers steadily. "Assets?" he asked chilly. "What assets? All we have is this' house in your name!" Jessie was disheartened but not broken. If this were their pattern, there was little they could do. but put up with it. Her problem was to safeguard, her husband's health and peace of mind. He would recoup his strength and they would-begin anew. She dismissed all the servants except one general maid.
Two tiny and forlorn figures merged into one . . ',
Stocks and bonds she had in a vault were sold for living expenses. Gradually all of their possessions went. They borrowed on the house itself .. . Jessie worked constantly to get the government to' pay .for the confiscated Black Point and to secure John a government appointment. She was blocked. The years, of Maripo;a gold had weakened her habits of thrift and bills, nv tun ted. At the end of two years, they lost the house. For two more months they lived, in a rented. New York houje. They had to leave when their rent was up. That morning, Jessie and John, two little figures, stood alone. Suddenly they were locked' securely in each other's arms; ; two tiny and forlorn figures which merged into one a large and great figure; the figure of love; immortal ... ' (Continued tomorrow)
