SOME ACTION NEEDED For Years Syracuse has been a mecca for the hobo. He and his tribe have been fed and clothed here by kind-hearted citizens, and the many nooks and crannies along the B. & 0. tracks have protected these vagrants from inclement weather.- The fire of Sunday night should awaken us to the fact that we have aided undesirables who are a menace to our interests. But for the heoric work of the fire fighters, three tramps might have been the cause of throwing several hundred men out of employment which would have caused our town huge loss It seems that this menace should be eliminated. We must discourage the hobo from even alighting from a train in this place. We suggest that the town board and the marshall devise a plan that will rid Syracuse of these unwelcome visitors. There are several methods that could be successfully employed. Rause mit ’em. LAW AND THE MAN Man Cannot be made virtuous by law, but he can be made vicious by it. He cannot be made honest by law but he can be made dishonest by it. Few men even are reformed under compulsion. The abstraction called law does not exist. It rests solely upon the will of the community. Law, indeed, reflects—though often imperfectly—the real power in regulating and governing society, which is public opinion. Public opinion is behind and beneath and above all successful laws. It is more powerful even than law; for while laws lacking public support are futile, public opinion often stops things not forbidden by law. Therefore the greatest menace to respect for law is laws that are not supported and respected; for disregard and disrespect for some laws leads to disregard and disrespect for all law. The Plan to let out the rural service by contract to the lowest bidder has again been brought before the senate and postoffice committee by Postmaster General Burleson. The plan calls for the advertising of bids for the performance of the

work now being done by the rural mail earners, and the granting of ‘ the contracts to the lowest bidder ■ as was the custom formerly in letting contracts for caiying mail cn the “star routes.” The measure will be vigorously opposed by the mail carriers associations. 1 ' Another important point in our theology is that heaven is a place where nobody will try to crank up a motorcycle while we are endeavoring to - placate some irate subscriber over the telephone. W. 0.1. U. MEET IN MILFORD COUNTY MEETING HELD THERE LAST WEEK Last Friday the W. C. T. U. county convention was held at Milford. Pierceton, Winona, Warsaw and Turkey Creek township were well represented. Mrs. Lena Bauer prepared a paper, the subject wa< “The debt we owe and how to pav it.” The bible system of tithing was recommended. She spoke lardy of how enobling and enriching of the soul when one lived up to God’s plan of doing things. It was a very fine paper to say the least. Mrs. Ada Nichols of Pierceton had an able paper, subject “Mothers of the Bible.” It was very helpful to mothers and those having the direction of children. Mrs. Retta Jones of Alexandria, one of the talented ladies of the state, gave a very edifying talk m missions and how much the unioi. should be interested in missions so the conversion of a soul mean salvation from the liquor habit. Some, people have the impressioi that the purpose of the W. C. T. U. is to hunt “blind tigers and make trouble for people. That is not at all. The purpose is to educate, agigtate, and to create, clean righteous sentiment in the community and liit up the fallen and look after the homeless and friendless. Our local union has not measured up to its oppurtinty but many flowers, funeral sprays, clothing, meals to the sick, literature furnished to those who had nothing to read, pravers offered, bible and text cards sent out, and many other kindnesses that go to cheer up humanity. Why Auto Turns Turtle On account of the large number of automobiles turning turtle nowadays, killing and maiming many of the occupants, there has been much thought on the matter by which such accidents will be less frequent. It has been said apparently with good logic, that the turning over of automobiles is not caused by bad roads or fast driving; it is because the driver loses his head and consequently control of the ; machine. The driver of an auto-I mobile when in danger of turning I turtle feels the wheels skidding into the ditch and intuitively turns the front wheels to the center of the road. This has a tendency to turn the machine at right angles to the direction of the momentum and turning over is inevitable, if the machine is running at a brisk speed. Instead of doing this thing, the\ld J and experienced driver will turn i the front wheels to the bottom it; the ditcht when the rear wheels are felt skidding; he remains that way until he has the machine under control. The principal of the rule is that as long as the wheels are I kept in line of momentum -the car 1 cannot turn over but as soon as the ; machine is headed across the line ; of motion then it must roll, if the ‘ rate of speed attained is sufficiently great. Gilberts. Mrs. Calvin Cooper Mrs. Albert Werstler was on the sick list. Harley Wevbright lost a valuable horse Friday night. 0. D. Cooper and wife spent Sunday with their son Emory and family. Rev.

A Howl And A Hint The u;auuer in which those genteel gunmen who deal in printers’ supplies have whooped up the prices on everything used around a newspaper office is simply klososterous. The ink factories have shot the price of news ink up to a point that makes Gilderoy’s justly famous kite look like a sunken submarine. The paper barons act as if they thought their wood pulp product ought to bring as much as India bible stock. And type! Why, you’d think type metal was composed of two parts radium and one part auroraborealis. Even our washerwoman, in her sealed bid for washing our towel, quotes a figure 50 percent, higher than that quoted when we were thinking of having it washed last year. At that, we could manage to ease through this month if some of our valued subscribers would kick in with a little of that emergency currency. Even a few old-fashioned dollar bills would do.
