Local political leaders and workers had quite a time Tuesday, deciding whether or not the negro enrollees of the local Civilian Conservation Corps Camp should be permitted to vote in the Primary election. There is still some doubt and argument as to who was right in the debate. The question was not a racial one, nor a political one, the objectors claimed, but a legal one. The challenge of these voters was made on the grounds that they were not qualified. The basis of this argument is that the f boys from the camp are not residents of this township. Just who is right we will not attempt to decide, but we will venture this opinion. The political leaders who took it upon themselves to challenge the votes of some of these citizens, should not have waited until the day of the election to take action. It was generally known in political circles some weeks ago, that the CCC members had registered, and declared their intentions of voting here. The challenge should have been made then. Waiting until the day of election—going into a polling place and objecting to any citizen casting a ballot, seems a very poor policy, when it is already * known that these voters have declared themselves citizeps and residents, by the act of their registration. After they have been duly registered and recorded on the polling books, it is our opinion that they should be permitted unmolested. To intimidate them is unfair, to deny the privilege of voting is surely unconstiBut to challenge the right to register is something el£e. That, it seems to u$ is the logical basis for the argument. 3 The political workers who waited until election day to argue the question accomplished nothing except to cause a lot of unnecessary excitement. And the registered voters, voted anyway. We firmly believe the political workers who issued the challenges are right in their contention that non-residents should not help dictate the political future of our township or our county. Whether one non-resident or a hundred were voted, their vote should not be counted. > In the case of the CCC members, these men will probably be here only a short time. They are not taxpayers or natives. Neither do they reside in permanent homes, or have permanent employment. Yet they were registered as permanent residents. This was another piece of bad political thinking. * The ballot system is generally recognized as the fairest and most efficient method of selecting a government and determining a principal. But when political leaders and workers attempt to use the system unwisely, selfishly or unfairly, then the system becomes bad. If politicians would learn a little more about the Golden Rule, and lessabout their own particular sentiments or party ideals, this would be a better nation. Party politics is one thing. Sound American government principals, based upon fairness and unselfishness seems to be something else. The time may come, when politically ambitious individuals will seek as one goal, Better government. The time may come, when socialistic schemes, selfish thoughts and unwise political planning will be abolished, and such bickering as was experienced here will cease, because there will be a sense of fairness on both sides of the political fence.

PERFORMANCE AND PROMISES Three heedlines across the top of The New York Times recently presented a study in contrasts which of-' ~ fectively portray America today. The first warned that Communists were using the WPA projects to stir discontent. Another described glittering new economic experiments for reducing unemployment. The third was, In brief, a history of this country’s progress. It was a report before the American Chemical Society by a chemist of the du Pont Company.of the production of a new synthentic fiber one-third thinner than the finest natural silk. A ball of this new gossamer textile, weighing only one pound, if unrolled, would stretch across the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. What is more Important than the fact that the thread itself would reach across the continent is that the development of new products by constant industrial research spreads jobs from ocean to ocean* All the * political promises that could bo spread on the pages of an average site newspaper are dwarfed when laid alongside the jobs that have been and will be produced as wellorganixed industrial organizations delve into the secrets of science for other uses of present products and , developments of completely new products. Aa was pointed out at the Chemical meeting by Dr. Ernest B. Benger, the manufacture of rayon alone gave employment to about 60,000 workers in one year. They received approximately $60,000,000 in wages, and more than $63,000,000 of raw material were <*on<nnw»d by the makers of rayon, which is a synthetic product itself developed by industrial science. 0 at VflUot aßdnvCa rwißWi rim < Bbtttock EMbmb made his fttst bow to the public tn the novel “A Study to Scarlet,” published tn w ßeetMk < b Christmas Anneal.* In 1887.

MEDICAL PAINTINGS ? • ' Doctors are developing interesting hobbies, of which one of the most unexpected is painting. One would almost’ think the New York Academy of Medicine was an Academy of Art. It has been giving its ninth annual exhibition at its professional beadquarters on Fifth Avenue, to an interested public. f There are landscapes and portraits; but the doctors for some reason or other, in their artistic hours, seem more interested in flowers and fruits than in the human body. The exhibition this year' is said to have been dominated by apples. There may be a subtle psychological connection there. “An apple a day,” you know. Some of the work was doubtless excellent. Yet an irreverent public finds it hard to take such medical activity seriously. It doesn’t seem possible that a doctor could paint anything except with iodine or mercurochrome. Q,., * SAVING WILD LIFE There is said to boa great destruction of game birds through water pollution. A bill is now pending in Congress aimed to deal with thia danger. Civilization and wild life don’t seem to mix. When the land is in a state of nature, wild life survives and flourishes. But when man comes with his manufacturers and his destructive ways, he upsets the conditions under which the wild creatures used to thrive. He turns his dirty refuse into the rives, and the game birds do not prosper on it- Man was given this wild life as part of his inheritance, and he should not throw it away as if it were a worthless trifle.

Says Nation Is Facingjnflation Roosevelt Monetary Adviser Declares Peril Here Is ’Very Great? NEW YORK.—The danger of a wild infiation is grave, James Harvey Rogers, the Yale professor under whose guidance President Roosevelt bolted the gold standard and adopted the policy of a managed currency, declared. His warning came as a shock to his listeners in a meeting of the Academy ®f Political Science. They had expected him to defend the President's actions. Prof. Rogers, In justifying his previous position, said that with the setting up of the new monetary system controls had been provided. Great care was taken, he said, not to permit the devaluation of the dollar to Increase member bank reserves. Largely to assure this result the two billion dollar stabilisation fund was created. Acted to Avoid Inflation. “In the new banking legislation still further care was taken to provide additional and entirely ample power to curb any undesirable Inflation which might make its appearance." he sai<L “The authority of the new board of governors of our federal reserve system to raise the legal reserve requirementa of the member banks by 100 |m*f cent if necessary would seem to be a suflldently powerful check for any probable emergency. “With such safeguards provided in the monetary legislation and with such powerful checks In the hands of «ur central banking authorities, what tl»«*n can be the danger from even large and continued budget deficits? Deficits Are Danger. The answer is clear. Continued budget deficits require continued treasury financing. Treasury financing at reasonable rates requires easy and plentiful money conditions. But all rhe checks to inflation provided in our money and banking system are based upon reversing our easy money policy and turning It into a tight money policy. “Hence, continued budget deficits and the resulting heavy government financing will lead to an inevitable clash between the policies of our treasury aud those of our centra! banking authorities. Which policy will win? In all the post-war European inflations it was those of the treasuries. The inflation peril here is very great" NEW SALEM Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mathews have moved to the Tully farm near New Paris.

CIVILSERVICEWARNSOF WRONG INFORMATION Notices Sent, (XL Regarding Mislead ing, Statements of Instruction Courses. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7— The United States Civil Service Commission has sent a notice to post offices, warning that misleading information is being given the public by representatives of some of the correspondence schools which sell “civil service” courses. For a .long time, the Commission has been receiving complaints from different parts of the country which indicate that opportunities for obtaining Federal employment have been greatly exaggerated. It was made clear that no school has any connection whatever with the Civil Service Commission or with any other branch of the Government, and also that the Commission has no agents who solicit applications for positions or who sell courses. No school can “guarantee" Government employment and none is given information regarding examinations, or any other information, which is not available to the general public. The Commission stated that it does not recommend any school, and explained that it as not necessary for anyone to take a course with a so-called civil service school in order to compete in a civil service examination. A special point was made of the fact that information concerning examinations may be obtained at any time, without cost, from the Secretary of the Civil Service Board at any first, or second-class post office or from the Commission’s office in Washington, D. C. FOUR CORNERS. . Mrs. Ralph Disher was in Milford, Saturday. Mrs. Mary Ulery called at the Clint Callander home, Friday. Mrs. Crist Darr visited Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chilcote, Saturday.
