HIS 1923 THANKSGIVING DINNER If you are a radio enthualnst, and understand such things, you will be interested In the latest announcement. A message, receiving, Its only Impulse on this Ride of the ocean, made the trip of 9,000 miles to Warsaw and back twenty times a total distance of 360.- 000 miles. That is almost twice as far as light and electricity travel in one second. It amazes us now. We see It, and work It and know nothing about It. Some day we'll send messages to outside suns, ending with "please answer", knowing that at 186,000 miles a second the answer wlll not be back In time for our grandchildren to read it. If you have a sound ideas, don't hang for lt. Publish it, repeat lt, persuade others to accept lt. Voltaire opposed torture of witnesses, breaking every miserable judge ln one famous ease, after a fight of many years. He defied Frederick the Great and greater powers, and finally died peacefully ln his bed, nearly eight-five years old, rich In money, adored by the people that drew his carriage through the streets. He showed the right way to deal with an idea. That was better than poor John Brown of Harpers Ferry, never living to see anything accomplished. It takes ons kind of ability to "hang" for an Idea, and it takes a higher kind to convert or hang those that oppose the idea when it is right. McAdoo lets it be known that he| Is iii the race for President. Of course he is, being the most conspicuous Democratic candidate. Hiram Johnson will be in the ring also. This Is a free for all, and Hiram Johnson probably can get more votes In Presidential primaries than any other Republican. Albert Lasker wlll work for Johnson as he did for Harding. He's a first class dynamo. One of Mr. Ford's secretaries says he wouldn't accept the nomination for the Presidency. But it Isn't Liebold, the real secretary, and probably doesn't mean much. Mr. Ford has his days for Presidential running and his days for forgetting all about lt. If the nomination should come on the right day he would probably take it. Meanwhile he's I starting a plant near Philadelphia,.to cost twenty or thirty millions, and hire a few thousand men at high wages. That's not bad politics. Bonar Law lies In Westminster Abbey. American tourists fifty years from now wlll look at his grave and ask: "Who in heaven's name was that?" as they pass on to the place where Pitt and his father, Chatham. He ln the same grave. Bonar Law's family Ib pleased. That's what the burial waa for. They dug up Cromwell and stuck his head on a spear for every one to laugh at and let lt gra'dualty go to pieces. They dug up and scattered the dust of Voltaire. But men of that kind, real men, don't need burial In Westminster Abbey. There wouldn't be room In any building for names as big as theirs. The Oovernment learns that taxes on sales of jewelry haven't been paid. Careful watch Is being made "also wltb regard to household furniture, libraries and musical Instruments." Could you Imagine anything more barbarous, more worthy of a Congo savage than putting a tax on the sale of household furniture, and especially on the iale of libraries and musical instruments? Why not tax a child two cents every time lt says Its prayer? Reading a good book or hearing food music is the next best thing to praying. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Radde ware Elyrla visitors Tuesday evening. J. J. FILES PETITION FOR RE-COUNT DEFEATED CANDIDATE CLAIMS THAT VOTES WERE NOT PROPERLY TALLIED; UNOFFICIAL BALLOTS WERE USED; THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE VOTES COUNTED THAN WERE CA8T IN TWO PRECINCT8. J. .1. Smythe filed his "petition with the County Board of Elections today asking for a recount of the votes cast for mayor at the election held last Tuesday, November 6. Mr. Smythe In his petition claims, that the votes were not properly tallied. The rules for counting voles according to law, Is that the votes are to be taken from the ballot box by two Judges and are not to be counted until both have seen the votes. Mr. Smythe claims that this method was not carried out. It ts further stated tn his petition thut unofficial ballots were used. The local election board was not supplied with a sufficient numfifer nf ballots, and late In the afternoon of the election sample ballots were used to complete the election. The poll books also show that ln precinct A there were 264 votes cast for muyor and 276 counted, thut two voters names were listed twice and that two people voted who, tt 1b said, are not residents of Amherst. Upon the above mentioned claims, Mr. Smythe is filing his petition and feels that he has just cause to do so. In connection with the petition flled today there are several other facts concerning the election. Village clerk F. I. Hubbard, reported yesterday that he hud not received the poll books from precinct H and on that uccount he could not canvass the vote and notify those that were elected. He' further stated, however, that he would ' get a certified copy of the votes cast. in that precinct from the county board of election and would be able to check over the books and officially notify those who were elected. W. R. Moeblus, township' clerk, also reports that he has not received the poll books from precincts A and B and wus obliged to go to Blyrla to get the count so as to notify those who were elected for township offices. J .B. Avery, clerk of the Board of Kducationfl stated this morning that there was only one of the four poll, books which he received that was tallied correctly. One book did not have the names of the voters, one did not have the votes and one did not have the number of votes given each candidate und only the total was given. Whether an accurate count of the votes for village, township and Hoard of Education can be determined from the poll books Is still uncertain, offl- clals state.

BROWNHELM CELEBRATES ARMISTICE DAY SPECIAL TO THE NEWSTIMES. By HAROLD HESTER. Brownhaltn'f three pastors together School felt that on this llfth uiilver with Its principal of the Centralized Mr? of the close oi' the World War we ought to have an Armistice Day Community meeting for the promotion ot World I'eace. Arrangements were made aci ordtngly, and a well attended meeting at the High School Auditorium last Sunday evening, November Uth was the result. Mr, Kern, pastor of Ihe Kvungcllcal church, had hoped to be present, but I meeting in llenrietla prevented However, bis Brownhelm church folk were well represented, as also both the other" churches of the town, aud many folk besides. The Brownhelm Band, led by Mr. Krugiffann, ranted onr spirits for the oi ens ion. After prayer by Mr, Heller, pastor of tile Reformed church, the speaker ot the evening. Professor K. V Dreiser, teacher ot International Law and American Oovernment in Oberlin College, was Introduced by Mr. Hester. who called attention to the League il Nations' World Court that Is being, so much discussed both pro and con, bow it seemed 1 bore to many that this League of Nations should be drug around again, that nevertheless we were all getting sick ot this war business and the prepartiniis for war going OH apace, and so if this World Court WOttld help to lessen war we wanted to know how It would make for such a gnoii • nd. If the speaker, however, Should show us that the. Leagues' Court, I" his opinion, would not belli to this greatly desired end, what did he propone tor the promotion of World Peace? lu the hour that followed Mr. C.els- ■r s t forth simply and concretely his , 'dejections to the League's Court. He . was concerned for on propaganda either for oV against the Court, but I he was concerned that people should ' think for themselves, and that they 1 should have the facts whereon to base their thinking. And so it seems to me, Mr. Oeiser . said, that America cannot join this World Court. It must llrst be com- ' pletely separated from the League Only then will it be in I position in- 1 dependency to promote world peace. What then can we do? How Is peace to be promoted? The Hague Tribunal ' Is such a ulndf pundcul body li bai already as much power M ihe World 1 Court, namely n> arbitrate differences between nations that will submit their rules to It, and ii I- not dependent upon military intervention, It Is iintrnm- meled hi ihe League Americu and tl:.' world cannot do better thau to build upon the foundation! of the Hague Tribunal. David .inn. nm quite agree*, with this idea of professor Qolser's, On page 171! of the Sa ttirday Kvening Post for November '.). Mr, Hill says: 'The only hope for the pea.e of the world lies In the growth of the juristic sense and the disposition to be governed by law." To this end W> were urged by the speaker to work toward the pacifist ideal of Jesus uf Nazareth. Nothing else will pruned ■ p.ace like that. May Ihe chinches imt be false to their task in this day of great need. And international peace will com.' as we ourselves oei te to 1 hi ill, war, and think and act good will lasted; and then as we elect and support, yes support, Just such men for official position men who will dare lo carry out In International as well a, national relations these same ideals of justice and good will. So shall law and love, not war, prevail. WOODLAND QUARTET TO GIVE PROGRAM HERE.

BROWNHELM CELEBRATES ARMISTICE DAY SPECIAL TO THE NEWSTIMES. By HAROLD HESTER. Brownhaltn'f three pastors together School felt that on this llfth uiilver with Its principal of the Centralized Mr? of the close oi' the World War we ought to have an Armistice Day Community meeting for the promotion ot World I'eace. Arrangements were made aci ordtngly, and a well attended meeting at the High School Auditorium last Sunday evening, November Uth was the result. Mr, Kern, pastor of Ihe Kvungcllcal church, had hoped to be present, but I meeting in llenrietla prevented However, bis Brownhelm church folk were well represented, as also both the other" churches of the town, aud many folk besides. The Brownhelm Band, led by Mr. Krugiffann, ranted onr spirits for the oi ens ion. After prayer by Mr, Heller, pastor of tile Reformed church, the speaker ot the evening. Professor K. V Dreiser, teacher ot International Law and American Oovernment in Oberlin College, was Introduced by Mr. Hester. who called attention to the League il Nations' World Court that Is being, so much discussed both pro and con, bow it seemed 1 bore to many that this League of Nations should be drug around again, that nevertheless we were all getting sick ot this war business and the prepartiniis for war going OH apace, and so if this World Court WOttld help to lessen war we wanted to know how It would make for such a gnoii • nd. If the speaker, however, Should show us that the. Leagues' Court, I" his opinion, would not belli to this greatly desired end, what did he propone tor the promotion of World Peace? lu the hour that followed Mr. C.els- ■r s t forth simply and concretely his , 'dejections to the League's Court. He . was concerned for on propaganda either for oV against the Court, but I he was concerned that people should ' think for themselves, and that they 1 should have the facts whereon to base their thinking. And so it seems to me, Mr. Oeiser . said, that America cannot join this World Court. It must llrst be com- ' pletely separated from the League Only then will it be in I position in- 1 dependency to promote world peace. What then can we do? How Is peace to be promoted? The Hague Tribunal ' Is such a ulndf pundcul body li bai already as much power M ihe World 1 Court, namely n> arbitrate differences between nations that will submit their rules to It, and ii I- not dependent upon military intervention, It Is iintrnm- meled hi ihe League Americu and tl:.' world cannot do better thau to build upon the foundation! of the Hague Tribunal. David .inn. nm quite agree*, with this idea of professor Qolser's, On page 171! of the Sa ttirday Kvening Post for November '.). Mr, Hill says: 'The only hope for the pea.e of the world lies In the growth of the juristic sense and the disposition to be governed by law." To this end W> were urged by the speaker to work toward the pacifist ideal of Jesus uf Nazareth. Nothing else will pruned ■ p.ace like that. May Ihe chinches imt be false to their task in this day of great need. And international peace will com.' as we ourselves oei te to 1 hi ill, war, and think and act good will lasted; and then as we elect and support, yes support, Just such men for official position men who will dare lo carry out In International as well a, national relations these same ideals of justice and good will. So shall law and love, not war, prevail. WOODLAND QUARTET TO GIVE PROGRAM HERE.
