Company Friendly His relations, he said, with North Canton had always been pleasant, antl he wants them to continue.

By BEN LONG, independent political writer tiHANEL HAS FAITH IN 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. Your old pal of 1S91-IKS, JOE KELLEY, The News, Quincy, Mass., Sept. 2-1, 1 'Xi2. Bettman Waves The Bloody Shirt thing but creditable and they sent him into retirement. 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.

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.

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- viki and therefore was not entitled to enter the tournament. As Rabbi Charles li. Latz or Canton toltl the Rotarians recently, it has become the fail to brand a man a "Hod" or a "Communist" if he has itleas of his own and objects to being kicked around like a football. ! Is it possible that tlie staid old News has gone '.'Red?" Heaven forbid! X X 1 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. TrTrmyIage Will Be Guest Speaker At All Community Christian Church Services On Sunday. The Rev. Dr. Kirby Page, who is very popular among millions of church goers, wil] be the guest speaker in The Community Christian church, North Canton, on Suntlay, Oct. 2.

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."

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.
