High Wages—Good Timet	
A Real Radiogram.
To Hang For and Idea.
McAdoo, Johnson and Ford.
Able British Statesmen.
What makes the United States prosperous?   Answer.    High wages.
Cytroen. the greatest French manufacturer of automobiles, says everybody In Prance ought to have his
own nutomoblle. The trouble il: "In
American the workman, saving one
drty's pay per week, can buy an automobile with the money at the end of
a year. In France It would take a
Frmchmen's HNTTRE SALARY for
two years."
' If fta want a good crop, put water
and fertiliser on the land. If you
want a prosperous country, put good
wages In the pockets of those that
work.
It all comes back to the big people
ten dollars for one.

BOY  BITJEN   BY  DOG.
Clare SihaefTer, son of Mr. and Mrs
M. B. Schaeffer, of Milan avenue, was
blften on Ihe arm by a dog today, at
noon. Dr. Hall was called to dress
the  Injury.
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.

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.
