PRESIDENT OR DICTATOR The Supreme Court’s decision declaring the NRA unconstitutional is only another incident in the struggle that has been going on between the federal government representing • centralized authority, and the states representing self government. This fight for supremacy between the people and the federal government started immediately, as soon as the thirteen original states adopted the constitution. Not much cognizance of the battle between the government wanting more power and the people resisting • the government’s efforts has been taken by the public excepting when it has flared into violence. But President Roosevelt in his criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision has aroused public interest in this unceasing struggle. Now the people are talking and thinking about dictatorship, about self government and about liberty. President Roosevelt at his momentous press conference stated that he thought that the people would be forced to decide in the next five or ten years whether or not the federal government would have the power to decide domestic affairs, or the states. In other words the people must decide in that length of time whether they want a dictator or self government. The President might be mistaken as to the length of time necessary for the people to make the decision, bpt not as to the necessity of making the decision. The decision might be made at the next presidential election. Then the issue will probably be whether or not the federal government shall have the power to regulate industry, commerce, agriculture; also whether the people shall have free speech and the right to assemblage. President Roosevelt would never have forced the issue unless he thought that the majority of the people desired a form of government in which self government would be nil and the executive at Washington supreme in all matters. For the thought has been, give the federal government more power, no matter which party has been in office, for the people cannot govern themselves. The desire of a more centralized government has been the fettish all along the line. The struggle between those who believe in individual liberty and those who champion an omnipotent centralised government has come into the open, and old political party party lines soon will be forgotten. CHILD EATS TABLETS ~ AND DIES, ON SUNDAY Sodium nitrate tablets, eaten accidentally by Rev a Pauline Twain, 22 months old daughter of Zollie Twaita of four miles east of No. Webster about noon, on Sunday, caused her death. The tablets were accidentally left within reach of the child. She became violentally ill and died on the way to the doctor’s office. She was born August 4, 1933, her mother dying at the time of her birth. The child is survived by her father and her grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel T waits and Mr. and Mrs. William Halsey. u— HEAD CUT IN WRECK. On the night of Decoration Day, Harry Stettler was injured in an automobile accident, so that four stitches were required to close the cut in his head. He was able to work the next day, however. With Lawrence Copenhaver and his sister Thelma, of Goshen, Stettler was riding on road 15, north of Goshen, when the car left the road and turned over on its side in the ditch.. Stettler was the only one in the machine who was hurt. Somebody is said to have started a “send a half pint” chain letter. The idea, of course, originated in Kansas.

MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS Maggie Butt wants to know: Does anybody w’anta buys duck? She has been making friends with that pair of swans Pell Clayton put on Syracuse lake, for more than a year. This year when the swans made the nest in the channel near her home, and kept coming to her to be fed. Clayton supplied her with a bag of feed for them, and she kept handsfull of it in her pockets. to always have some ready when the swans arrived while she was at work in her garden. So they feel quite at home. Monday this week, they decided her work on the garden had been a good idea. They ate lettuce, mangoes, even garlic; then sat down to rest on the new onions, and she said they had become such friends she couldn’t drive them away, she had to coax them out of her garden by offering them more food on the pier. Two more of the small swans died, last week, after the four had been brought to town by Pell Clayton, for care. They didn’t seem to care about their diet, or something. Many were the compliments heard concerning the appearance and the music and marching of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, in their first performance on Memorial Day. Also many complimentary remarks were made concerning the entire Memorial Day program. Os course being one of the drummer boys the editor did not hear any of the degratory remarks if there w’ere any. One mishap occurred when the head flew off the drumstick of the big bass drum, which Bob Searfoss was playing, on. the return trip from the cemetery. It flew in Dr. Clark’s direction and he caught it. The weather: Necessary to build a fire in the furnace on June 5 to keep the printer and the wife from shaking to pieces. The farmers complained last year about the extreme dryness and this year srbout the extreme wettness and one cannot blame them. Some of the lake people are also complaining about the high water in Wawasee. In August they will be angry at some one about the low water in Wawasee. Co-operate with the town in the disposing of garbage and roughage. It will make the place a cleaner and better place to live. How many towns the size of Syracuse will one find where a system of disposal of garbage is being worked? Quite a place, this town of Syracuse.

URGES STATE CONTROL OF WATER RESORCES “Indiana must go a step further than ever before in the centralization of authority if the water resources Os the state are to be conserved and properly serve the needs of her citizens,” W. H. Frazier, Sanitary Engineer of the Department of Conservation, asserted in a recent address before the American Waterworks association in which he suggested the need for some one agency in which can be vested full authority not only to investigate and study but to act for the best interests of the state ais a whole upon the subject of water resources. “Attempts in the past ten years to give the state authority to regulate the turning of waste, both industrial and municipal, into the streams, have made some progress but little impression. Cities have continued to turn their waste into the streams, creating unhealthy, offensive conditions for other citits downstream, and industries have followed the example set by the citites.” He reviewed briefly an act passed during the present session of the General Assembly which provides for a board of three members to be named by the Governor, serving terms of four years without additional compensation, to enforce its provisions. “It becomes the duty of this board to determine what constitutes pollution and after determining that a stream or a part of a stream is, or is about to be. polluted, to order the condition corrected.” The speaker pointed out, as “the next step and the logical one, the placing of all matters pertaining to water resources in one state agency. This agency should not only conduct a state-wide survey of all water resources and plan forotheir greater utilization but should also have the power to see that such plans and programs are observed and made a part of local projects. The water resources of the state - cannot be considered within municipal boundaries or county lines. The time will come within a short time when the entire nation, rather than the State, will be the unit in undertaking this problem.” , HAS SLEEPING-SICKNESS Frieijds in Syracuse were sorry to learn, Monday, that John Rasor, aged 4> son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Rasor and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Aaroti Rasor, of Wrasaw, was seriously ill with sleeping sickness.
