Id Without     Bettman's speeches recall the days of waving

HIS FOOTBALL TEAM
From An Old Pal
DEAR BEN LONG: To those wlio
know how gootl The Sun is, it
does not seem necessary to call
attention to its many excellent editorial features. But last week The
Sun shone out even more than usual.
The article on the first page, "We're
Going Goofy Listening to Blah" antl
your' Philetus Bumpus, "Let's Be
Cheerful," struck  me  just right.
But I tlo love those political articles
and stories of the old days as you
tell them in "Told Without Varnish."
I'll wager if you toltl half you know
about politics antl politicians we'd get
some real inside tlope of the startling
variety.
~It was your advice I beetled years
ago: "Joe, never make a political
prophesy." Today I refused to be
quoted when a writer for Collier's
Weekly asked my opinion on the November election.
X      X      X
THAT  was   a   neat   compliment  the.
editor of the Grand Rapids News
paid   you   and   Louis  J.   Lisemer
when  he  called  L.  J.  and  you  "two
grand old  men of the profession."
Pleased to read in The Sun that
Jim Raleigh is doing well on a New
York city daily. That was a hot one
he pulled on that Philadelphia lawyer
when he wrung in a fake W. J. Bryan.
Why don't you tell your readers about
the night in 1890 when you tipped oil'
Senator Ben Tillman and he made a
heckling lawyer look like nothing.
It will interest you to know that 1
talked with Jake Kilrain a few days
ago. He is a watchman at an industrial plant. We discussed his long battle with John L. Sullivan. He asked
to be remembered to vou.

XXX
STARK COUNTY manufactures
many articles the people in the
south buy and pay for. Thousands of lads from the southland
marched and fought in France in tie-
fence of a common country. Bettman,
in his anxiety to reach the U. S. Senate overlooks such trivial things as
business, friendship and patriotism.
But the great man, William McKinley
by name, did  not.
•And while I am giving Mr. Bettman
some publicity, I will ask him, What
is he doing about the Edison Electric
Light company in Lucas county, and is
his oll'ice still sending out letters even
a bright newspaper editor like Mr.
Williams of the Tri-County News cannot fathom'.' Ami if he can't, who
can'.'
What the people of Ohio want this
year, Mr. Bettman, is something- constructive. They are not interested in
recriminations or political character
assassinations; certainly they are not
interested in the Bloody Shirt at a
time when they are doing everything
in their power to relieve the stringency and restore normal economic
conditions.

THE REV. PAUL A. REMPE
Pastor of Zion Lutheran church,
North Canton, who will preside at the
Rally day exercises in his church on
Suntlay  morning.
LUTHERANS RALLY
Zion   Church   Wants   Every   Member
Present On  Sunday.
Sunday morning, Oct. 2, Rally day
services will be held in Zion Lutheran
church, North Canton, and Pastor
Rempe is hopeful that every member
of the church will he present. The
Rally day service will follow the es-
son study pel iod at !):5f>.
The Rev. Paul A. Rempe is all
smiles over the fact that 25 members
of his church have enrolled in the
Lutheran Sunday-school Institute being held for six weeks in Trinity
church, Canton. This interest on the
part of teachers and other workers
be pronounces "highly commendable."
 o •
Easy To Prove
It is  a  sign  of intelligence to he
seen reading- The  Sun.
GILBERT BETTMAN, Attorney-
General of Ohio, is the nominee
of the Republican party for the
seat in the U. S. Senate occupied by
Robert J. Bulkley. Until this year
Bettman was a "pronounced dry."
Then he did a back dive and became
wet, and he won the nomination in
May.
The Republicans held a county rally
at Meyer's Lake on Friday and Bettman was one of the speakers. Evidently he forgot that not far from
where he stood slept a great man
whose career after he left the Union
army was to cement the North and
South.
"When the United States declared
war on Spain this great man appointed several distinguished Confederate
officers to take charge of brigades
antl thev performed well on the bat-
tlefieltls'of Cuba. General Joe Wheeler was one.
X      X      X
BETTMAN must think the voters of
Stark county are fools. If not,
why did he revive the Bloody
Shirt and wave it, figuratively speaking, at the G. 0. P. rally ? Reatl this
bunk as it fell from Bettman's lips
and appeared on Saturday in a Canton newspaper:
"Not only the Presidency but
the control of the United States
Senate hangs in the balance in
this election. If the opposition
gains control of the Senate every
important committee will be headed by a southern Democrat. We
as a nation certainly tlo not want
to be ruled by southern Democrats."
The Attorney-General ought to
know that the days of Fire Alarm
Fo raker are gone forever. Foraker
made il a rule to wave the Bloody
Shirt. For a time il worked to his
advantage. Then the people learned
some things about him thai were any-
THE Grand Rapids News has entered
the lists against the School Book
Trust.   Getting a grappler's hold
on that octopus and twisting off a few
arms will  prove a big job, anil news-
j paper  men   will   watch   with   interest
[ the fight. Needless to atld, they wish
the News  the  best o'  luck.
David whipped Goliath, but that was
: an easy job for the very good reason
thai he got the stone across before
the law department of the Philistines
could ask for an injunction on the
ground that Dave hail gone Bolshe-

As Rabbi Charles li. Latz or Canton toltl the Rotarians recently, it has

fJIHE School Book Trust has been
gathering the coin for years. 1
recall that in 1902 a powerful
daily newspaper in the east turned
its guns on the Trust. During the
battle 1 remarked to the managing
editor of the daily that he had a real
fight under way.
"We know it," he replied, "and we
know, too, that the Book Trust has
plenty of ammunition and many gunners."
That's why 1 say the Grand Rapids
News has a  big job on its hands.

OLD DAYS IN N. C.
William   .).   Evans   Recalls   the   Time
When   All   Congregations   Met
| In  One Church.
In The Community Christian church
Sunday-school on Sunday morning
William J. Evans spoke on the church
as it existed in tlie 70's. Previous to
1X70 there was no organized church
here. It was reorganized in 1ST" miller the leadership of the Rev. II. M.
Allen, a Disciples of Christ minister.
Sunday-school was held at intervals
in those days. In September, 1S7."i,
John Evans (father of W. J.I and P.
V.. Schall'er reorganized the Sundav -
school which is today a flourishing institution of approximately (i()0 soul-.
The Community Christian church in
those days was a free meeting house.
The following congregations worshipped: Lutheran, Reformed, Brethren, Methodist, Church of God and
Disciples of Christ, each, in turn, said
Mr. Evans.
The singing was started in the 70's
wilh a limine fork. About IS77 the
first organ wa.-. purchased antl it caused some friction, said Mr. Evans, but
as time went on harmony was restored.
All classes were in one room, causing- quite a bit of commotion. Mr.
Evans' remaiks received the closest
attention, and maiiv of the memoes
urged bun to continue his talks "on
the old day's."

A writer for The Sun was on Ream
street when the siren sounded. Following a habit learned in early life when
be was on the "lire heat," he pulled
out his watch and noted the time.
Then he muttered to himself: "If
they can beat that speed in any other
town I want to see it.   One minute!"
And the truck was manned with
enough men to handle an ordinary ,
(ire. When the truck reached the corner of Portage antl Main streets four
additional volunteer firemen were
ready to jump aboard,
Nice work, men; mighty fine work.    ]
Firemen   Kepi   Busy
Perhaps the heavy rain of Tuesday
morning may cut down the number of
lire calls around North Canton. Monday afternoon a grass lire on the edge
of Greensburg endangered the property of John Mines. The quick work
of the North Canton firemen in leaching the blaze subdued the fire.
Fire   Near   Gas   Well
Friday afternoon a lire in a field
alarmed the people in MeDonaldsville.
Near the blaze was a gas well. Chief
Joe Smith's men put the fire out in
jig  time.
On Saturday at noon the T. K. Harris orchard was on fire. The firemen
''doused it" before the flames could
spread.
Mrs. Josephine Blue Scott, an artist of note, and former resilient of
Perrysburg, and Wootl and adjacent
counties, Ohio, for almost SO years,
in a letter to her friend, Mrs. Eleanore Hall of Cole avenue, mentions
tin- following incident concerning
Abraham Lincoln, the memory nf
which she cherishes. Mrs. Scott' now
resides in  Lilly Dale, New York.

Ohio, al daybreak and put in a three-
sealed wagon with father, mother and
baby sister to be taken to the Wabash station in Mauniee City, Ohio,
from whence we were going to a new
home  iu   Brunswick,   Missouri.
I was hardly awake when 1 heard
the sound of the horses' feel antl the
rattle of the wagon as we passed over
the Mauniee river bridge; a covered
wooden   one.
At that time the railroad extended
no   farther  than  Alton,   Illinois.
After riiling all day I was very
weary ami my legs ached from dangling over the edge of the seat, but
I watched a man (the brakeinan, I
suppose) as he lighted the row of
eight  lanterns suspended  overhead.
Soon after a group of men hoarded
the train al a station in Illinois. As
all seats were filled they stood by the
big wootl stove and talked loud
and earnestly.
Father rose and laid me down in
