WOMEN MISSIONARIES j ThZe^l£sJaper i I Vamish^BenLonglO SPEAK TOMORROW!Intelligent People Save [AN EDITORIAL] THE SUN received a long communication on Monday from the Ohio Committee on Judicial Selection, headquarters in Columbus. The organization is sponsoring a state-wide campaign to bring about a change in the method of selecting Judges. On the 15th of this month (April) printed petitions will be in circulation and voters" asked to sign them. Two of the principal features of the proposed amendment are: Appointment of Judges of the Supreme Court and of the Courts of Appeals; Judges of the Common Pleas, Probate and Municipal Courts majr be appointed if a majority of the voters in their respective judicial districts desire to extend the appointive system to those courts. Having adopted the appointive system the voters of those same judicial districts may subsequently rescind their action and return to the elective. plan. Whenever a vacancy occurs in any Court affected by the amendment the Judicial Council, after investigating the qualifications of those eligible, certifies a list of not less than three or more than five names to the governor. He must appoint from T:his list and the person so appointed must be confirmed by the senate. With all due respect to the sponsors of the amendment, The Sun is opposed to the amendment on the ground that Judges are responsible to the people, and to place the appointive power in the hands of one man is to give him too much power over the property, liberty and lives of the people. Then, too, it is well to remember that no matter how high-minded certain members of a committee may be there are always a few men eager to advance their own interests and such men would take a fiendish delight in embarrassing a governor not of their political faith, or a chief executive they held a grudge against. In theory such a proposition as the Ohio Committee on Judicial Selection proposes may sound well to a number of people, but in practice it will be a failure, human nature being what it is today. No one has a higher regard for Judges than The Sun, but it is a fact that several men have occupied high .positions on the Bench in the states of the union who proved to be a disgrace. Looking hack, Ohio had several Judges whose conduct was anything but exemplary. In one state in the union the Governor appoints not only the Judges, but the Prosecutors. For years the people have been dominated by one branch of Big Business, and if they growl the Court sternly tells them .they will be sent to jail for "contempt." Take the judiciary out of tiie hands of the people in Ohio and it will not be long before they will realize they have lost the one safeguard they possess—an honest Judge. _ So if you desire to protect your liberty refuse to sign the petition. THE SUN. Racketeers At Bay THE racket game is getting it in the neck in New York city, and if a young determined special prosecutor named Thomas E. Dewey can wreck the bums in that pest hole of crime it ought to be an easy manner to dispose oi' racketeers in all American cities. But it isn't. Before Dewey accepted the job he insisted that certain Judges be barred from trying the cases he was prosecuting. Rather a hard slap at the Judges, but young Dewey knows not only his onions, but every inch of the ground in which onions grow. Then, too, he insisted that he name certain policemen and detectives to protect his witnesses. Dewey's detectives are two-gun men and they can "drop a rat" with a shot from the side pocket. The "rats," as underworld characters are called, are afraid of Dewey and his detectives and the shyster lawyers are worried over his many convictions, because the Democratic and Republican political clubs to which the shysters belong are afraid to come to their defense, even under cover. •j. * ANY person with a grain of common sense knows that many of the Judges (Republicans and Democrats) in New York city are merely petty lawyers put on the Bench to obey the orders of their political bosses. Several of these Judges have sent men and women to prison, knowing them to be innocent, and set at liberty men they knew to be the lowest type of scoundrels. A woman .Judge they had in that city a-few years ago was so "distasteful" to tho public that she was removed. "Rotten" would be a better word than "distasteful." Here is a sample of a trial which lasted ten weeks, the sordid story of a despicable crime. Seven men were charged with conspiring, extortion and attempted murder. Theirs was commonly known as the "cafe racket." Restaurant owners were terrorized into enriching gangsters and their associates. Several of the restaurant, owners were boxing champions of the world a few years ago. * * * AN intended victim who undertook to resist their demands found his premises the target for stench bombs, and was in danger of physical violence. The lives of the patrons of his establishment might be in jeopardy. No restaurant was safe from the attentions of the high-binders. They were as rut---.lesg as kidnapers in their methods and for a long time it seemed that the chances of bringing them to punishment were small. Conviction is said to have been facilitated by changes recently made in the New York criminal.law. Therein may be a suggestion for examination of the laws of other states. In New York it may no longer be said that industrial l-acketeers are beyond tlie reach of the law. Of course the prosecutor must be honest, and so must the Judge and the members of the jury, or the trial would be a farce., In several cities in Ohio gangsters collect large sums of money from restaurant keepers and other business men. "Pay or have your place blown up" is the threat, and they pay. The lesson in New York is plain to all: A fearless prosecuting attorney, a decent Judge, and a jury brave and willing to convict on the evidence. NEW GARDEN BOOKS Mrs. D. R.

His task is lo | make the Chinese understand the Golden Rule, as Christ taught it, and the organization he represents is doing a good job. What appealed lo The Sun was the way the young man, Dr. Lyman Hoover of New York, brushed aside the inconveniences and hardships the American teachers and tho Chinese students undergo in that nation to reach their goal. American students in 1937, except in a few instances, would never suffer the life of misery THEY LIKED SAWYER Adventures of Tom, Played By Members of Junior Class, Pleases People. The shade of Samuel L. Clemens, known to millions as "Mark Twain," smiled broadly on Saturday night when he saw the Junior class of the North Canton high school present "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" on Saturday night in the school auditorium. The numerous audience left the building well satisfied that the young- man and young woman in the stellar roles and the supporting cast did full justice to a story of mirth and mystery. The school officials announced several weeks ago in The Sun that "the REAL NIGHT OF PLEASURE The Woman's club of North Canton, held its fourteenth annual banquet on Monday evening at G:30, in the dining room of Zion Lutheran church of North Canton. ... ..... The tables were made attractive- with lighted tapers and favors of sachet balls tied with tulle and ribbon and. the president's table held a beautiful arrangement of Spring flowers.. The dinner was a real meal, well prepared and efficiently served. After the 'dinner the club members sang two songs, "Working Along Together," and "America, The Beautiful," with Mrs. Gordon Lowther as leader and Mrs. Ward Mathie at the piano. Presented With Platter Mrs. G. W. Henderson, the retiring president, thanked all the members for their co-operation during her two years of service and .she especially thanked the club board and chairmen for their work and she presented each one to the audience.- Her remarks were interesting and timely. History of the Club Mrs. Burdette Spitler, historian, then gave the history of the club for the past year. The. gain in numbers was outstanding. Forty new members were added this year. Mrs. Henderson then introduced Mrs. Gregory Myers of Barberton, district president of the federation even a complaint. Little wonder he loves them, and predicts for them a worth-while future. Boys and girls belonging to good families able to take the "gaff" without whimpering possess what .we Americans call "guts," and whether they be yellow, brown, red, black or white of skin they can not be kept down because they, like St. Paul, are willing lo make tli■• good fight and keep the faith._ The scene changes. In our mind we see a young man accustomed to all tho comforts of life, with a young American wife and baby at his side, fighting all the elements in his determination to bring to the front young men and young women in a far-oil" land because lie knows that they can take it on the chin and come back for more. And looking at the young man and his pleasant smile we say inwardly, "You are worth more than a news story, vou are worth an editorial, for Chinese boys and girls do to learn what they term "the truth." The So- j you belong lo the class made famous ciety for the Prevention of Craelty to by such men as Dr. Livingston and Children would be marching on Wash ngton and other points if "such do ings" took place in the United States. And yet, as Dr. Hoover wisely asserted, many of the sons and daughters he is training belong to prominent families, and for that reason he feels confident that some day they will dominate China and put it on an even keel. Think of it! Not a whiner in his class.es. and. yet they lived on short rations, slept on boards in rooms cold' enough to freeze the marrow in their bodies, traveled hundreds of miles on railroad trains, packed in like sardines, and never uttered a growl or ng Chinese' Gordon, and even though you have a battery of titles behind your name and are at home on the campus of Yale, or Harvard, or other institutions of learning, you prefer to be a plain, every-day American gentleman modestly playing a big part on the stage of life in China." Dr. Lyman Hoover, The Sun salutes you, sir! This newspaper is more than glad you paid North Canton a visit, and when you start for China in October with your wife and child please remember that you have the best wishes of everyone who had the pleasure of hearing you on Sunday night, April 4. :CHINESE STUDENT-IS A BRAVE INDIVIDUAL r Willing- To Undergo All.

"Please say for the members of the cast that we ask the public to cooperate in another way, and that is by being on time."

MARRIED BY DR. BECK i . .—_— Miss Ingrid Brogun Becomes the Bride of Robert William Gray. Miss Ingrid Avon Brogan, aged 21 years, of Alliance, was married on Saturday morning to Robert William Gray, aged 23, of North Canton, in the parlor of Zion Reformed church by the Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, the pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Brogan, father ami mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. W. It. Gray, parents of the bridegroom, and their daughter, Gloria Ruth, attended the ceremony. The contracting parties and their ! parents went to the Elks club in Can- I ton where a special lunch was served in a private room. Mr. Brogan and : J Mr. Gray, senior, are members of the ! Elks. Following the luncheon the bride and bridegroom left for Washington. D. C, by automobile. After spendin--- a week out of town they will return to Sixth street NW., Canton, their future home. Before her marriage Miss Brogan was a nurse in Mercy hospital. Her husband is a retail salesman in Canton. Stressing the point that Chinese- students eager to learn the lOnglish language and the laws of Christianity as laid down by Jesus Christ were willing to undergo all sorts ot" physical discomforts, even to the point of lack of nourishini'- food, Dr. l.vman D. Hoover or New York, a V. M. C. A. secretary, in America on a furlough, held the close attention of a numerous j audience of men under the name of I the Good Fellowship committee in ! The Community Christian church on ! Sunday night. ! Dr. Hoover was in China for six I years, and he told his story in a ; straightforward way and in conver- ! sational manner. I linger To Learn i Thc young men and young women going to the schools established in ; China with American money are, as a general rule, members of substantial families and they could enjoy many physical comforts if they remained under Chinese instructors, but they prefer hardships because they realize that in time they will become i the civic alfairs of their Mlynv ' dents. ; These hoys in northern China sleep 1 in cold rooms and their bedding would not suit American lad.-, hut they never whimper. When they go to conferences they travel third class anil many of them lie on the bare floor of tho • train. Others stand half-bent over packing boxes until they reach a depot, when they rush to the platform and lie on their side or back until it is time for the train to start. This system of "stretching" they do until they leach their destination. They Never Complain lint they never complain, said Dr. Hoover, "hud that is one- reason you learn to love them.'' Ili> cited a number ol" in.-lanees to prove that the boys in that eountiy can "take it," without whining about "tough luck," nnd "had breaks." Dr. Hoover beli.-ve.- that China will some day become a great nation, spiritually and physically. Of course it will take time, hut tho younger generation of bo\ s and girls are not satisfied to remain in the ruts; they are hungry for education. They ask many <|Uestions about the Christian religion. They compare notes, and they ask—more questions. A Phasing Speaker Dr. Hoover is a pleasing speaker,, and he radiates good fellowship. Hois going back with his wife and child. in October. H. W. Hoover was asked by Mr. Cossaboom to "say a few words." He praised Dr. Hoover (not a relative) for bis work in China, and. said it was an inspiring sight to see a young man of refinement and education undergo hardships to help boys in a foreign land find themselves. Pastor Cossaboom presided, Harold E. Schiltz directed the singing; the Itev. A. O. MusgraVe asked the invocation, and M. R. Bixler, superintendent of school.- in Louisville, made the- closing prayer. Features on the program were- singing, by the Hoover octet, directed by Ernest Fryer; the Community Building quartet, directed by Charles B. Williams, and electric guitar numbers by William Danner. After the meeting thc men went to the dining hall for refreshments and "a genaral good time." Henry J. Ginther was chaiiman of the Good Fellowship committee and with his assistants saw that no one was neglected.

No one has a higher regard for Judges than The Sun, but it is a fact that several men have occupied high .positions on the Bench in the states of the union who proved to be a disgrace. Looking hack, Ohio had several Judges whose conduct was anything but exemplary. In one state in the union the Governor appoints not only the Judges, but the Prosecutors. For years the people have been dominated by one branch of Big Business, and if they growl the Court sternly tells them .they will be sent to jail for "contempt." Take the judiciary out of tiie hands of the people in Ohio and it will not be long before they will realize they have lost the one safeguard they possess—an honest Judge. _ So if you desire to protect your liberty refuse to sign the petition. THE SUN. Racketeers At Bay THE racket game is getting it in the neck in New York city, and if a young determined special prosecutor named Thomas E. Dewey can wreck the bums in that pest hole of crime it ought to be an easy manner to dispose oi' racketeers in all American cities. But it isn't. Before Dewey accepted the job he insisted that certain Judges be barred from trying the cases he was prosecuting. Rather a hard slap at the Judges, but young Dewey knows not only his onions, but every inch of the ground in which onions grow. Then, too, he insisted that he name certain policemen and detectives to protect his witnesses. Dewey's detectives are two-gun men and they can "drop a rat" with a shot from the side pocket. The "rats," as underworld characters are called, are afraid of Dewey and his detectives and the shyster lawyers are worried over his many convictions, because the Democratic and Republican political clubs to which the shysters belong are afraid to come to their defense, even under cover. •j. * ANY person with a grain of common sense knows that many of the Judges (Republicans and Democrats) in New York city are merely petty lawyers put on the Bench to obey the orders of their political bosses. Several of these Judges have sent men and women to prison, knowing them to be innocent, and set at liberty men they knew to be the lowest type of scoundrels. A woman .Judge they had in that city a-few years ago was so "distasteful" to tho public that she was removed. "Rotten" would be a better word than "distasteful." Here is a sample of a trial which lasted ten weeks, the sordid story of a despicable crime. Seven men were charged with conspiring, extortion and attempted murder. Theirs was commonly known as the "cafe racket." Restaurant owners were terrorized into enriching gangsters and their associates. Several of the restaurant, owners were boxing champions of the world a few years ago. * * * AN intended victim who undertook to resist their demands found his premises the target for stench bombs, and was in danger of physical violence. The lives of the patrons of his establishment might be in jeopardy. No restaurant was safe from the attentions of the high-binders. They were as rut---.lesg as kidnapers in their methods and for a long time it seemed that the chances of bringing them to punishment were small. Conviction is said to have been facilitated by changes recently made in the New York criminal.law. Therein may be a suggestion for examination of the laws of other states. In New York it may no longer be said that industrial l-acketeers are beyond tlie reach of the law. Of course the prosecutor must be honest, and so must the Judge and the members of the jury, or the trial would be a farce., In several cities in Ohio gangsters collect large sums of money from restaurant keepers and other business men. "Pay or have your place blown up" is the threat, and they pay. The lesson in New York is plain to all: A fearless prosecuting attorney, a decent Judge, and a jury brave and willing to convict on the evidence. NEW GARDEN BOOKS Mrs. D. R.

His task is lo | make the Chinese understand the Golden Rule, as Christ taught it, and the organization he represents is doing a good job. What appealed lo The Sun was the way the young man, Dr. Lyman Hoover of New York, brushed aside the inconveniences and hardships the American teachers and tho Chinese students undergo in that nation to reach their goal. American students in 1937, except in a few instances, would never suffer the life of misery THEY LIKED SAWYER Adventures of Tom, Played By Members of Junior Class, Pleases People. The shade of Samuel L. Clemens, known to millions as "Mark Twain," smiled broadly on Saturday night when he saw the Junior class of the North Canton high school present "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" on Saturday night in the school auditorium. The numerous audience left the building well satisfied that the young- man and young woman in the stellar roles and the supporting cast did full justice to a story of mirth and mystery. The school officials announced several weeks ago in The Sun that "the REAL NIGHT OF PLEASURE The Woman's club of North Canton, held its fourteenth annual banquet on Monday evening at G:30, in the dining room of Zion Lutheran church of North Canton. ... ..... The tables were made attractive- with lighted tapers and favors of sachet balls tied with tulle and ribbon and. the president's table held a beautiful arrangement of Spring flowers.. The dinner was a real meal, well prepared and efficiently served. After the 'dinner the club members sang two songs, "Working Along Together," and "America, The Beautiful," with Mrs. Gordon Lowther as leader and Mrs. Ward Mathie at the piano. Presented With Platter Mrs. G. W. Henderson, the retiring president, thanked all the members for their co-operation during her two years of service and .she especially thanked the club board and chairmen for their work and she presented each one to the audience.- Her remarks were interesting and timely. History of the Club Mrs. Burdette Spitler, historian, then gave the history of the club for the past year. The. gain in numbers was outstanding. Forty new members were added this year. Mrs. Henderson then introduced Mrs. Gregory Myers of Barberton, district president of the federation even a complaint. Little wonder he loves them, and predicts for them a worth-while future. Boys and girls belonging to good families able to take the "gaff" without whimpering possess what .we Americans call "guts," and whether they be yellow, brown, red, black or white of skin they can not be kept down because they, like St. Paul, are willing lo make tli■• good fight and keep the faith._ The scene changes. In our mind we see a young man accustomed to all tho comforts of life, with a young American wife and baby at his side, fighting all the elements in his determination to bring to the front young men and young women in a far-oil" land because lie knows that they can take it on the chin and come back for more. And looking at the young man and his pleasant smile we say inwardly, "You are worth more than a news story, vou are worth an editorial, for Chinese boys and girls do to learn what they term "the truth." The So- j you belong lo the class made famous ciety for the Prevention of Craelty to by such men as Dr. Livingston and Children would be marching on Wash ngton and other points if "such do ings" took place in the United States. And yet, as Dr. Hoover wisely asserted, many of the sons and daughters he is training belong to prominent families, and for that reason he feels confident that some day they will dominate China and put it on an even keel. Think of it! Not a whiner in his class.es. and. yet they lived on short rations, slept on boards in rooms cold' enough to freeze the marrow in their bodies, traveled hundreds of miles on railroad trains, packed in like sardines, and never uttered a growl or ng Chinese' Gordon, and even though you have a battery of titles behind your name and are at home on the campus of Yale, or Harvard, or other institutions of learning, you prefer to be a plain, every-day American gentleman modestly playing a big part on the stage of life in China." Dr. Lyman Hoover, The Sun salutes you, sir! This newspaper is more than glad you paid North Canton a visit, and when you start for China in October with your wife and child please remember that you have the best wishes of everyone who had the pleasure of hearing you on Sunday night, April 4. :CHINESE STUDENT-IS A BRAVE INDIVIDUAL r Willing- To Undergo All.

MARRIED BY DR. BECK i . .—_— Miss Ingrid Brogun Becomes the Bride of Robert William Gray. Miss Ingrid Avon Brogan, aged 21 years, of Alliance, was married on Saturday morning to Robert William Gray, aged 23, of North Canton, in the parlor of Zion Reformed church by the Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, the pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Brogan, father ami mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. W. It. Gray, parents of the bridegroom, and their daughter, Gloria Ruth, attended the ceremony. The contracting parties and their ! parents went to the Elks club in Can- I ton where a special lunch was served in a private room. Mr. Brogan and : J Mr. Gray, senior, are members of the ! Elks. Following the luncheon the bride and bridegroom left for Washington. D. C, by automobile. After spendin--- a week out of town they will return to Sixth street NW., Canton, their future home. Before her marriage Miss Brogan was a nurse in Mercy hospital. Her husband is a retail salesman in Canton. Stressing the point that Chinese- students eager to learn the lOnglish language and the laws of Christianity as laid down by Jesus Christ were willing to undergo all sorts ot" physical discomforts, even to the point of lack of nourishini'- food, Dr. l.vman D. Hoover or New York, a V. M. C. A. secretary, in America on a furlough, held the close attention of a numerous j audience of men under the name of I the Good Fellowship committee in ! The Community Christian church on ! Sunday night. ! Dr. Hoover was in China for six I years, and he told his story in a ; straightforward way and in conver- ! sational manner. I linger To Learn i Thc young men and young women going to the schools established in ; China with American money are, as a general rule, members of substantial families and they could enjoy many physical comforts if they remained under Chinese instructors, but they prefer hardships because they realize that in time they will become i the civic alfairs of their Mlynv ' dents. ; These hoys in northern China sleep 1 in cold rooms and their bedding would not suit American lad.-, hut they never whimper. When they go to conferences they travel third class anil many of them lie on the bare floor of tho • train. Others stand half-bent over packing boxes until they reach a depot, when they rush to the platform and lie on their side or back until it is time for the train to start. This system of "stretching" they do until they leach their destination. They Never Complain lint they never complain, said Dr. Hoover, "hud that is one- reason you learn to love them.'' Ili> cited a number ol" in.-lanees to prove that the boys in that eountiy can "take it," without whining about "tough luck," nnd "had breaks." Dr. Hoover beli.-ve.- that China will some day become a great nation, spiritually and physically. Of course it will take time, hut tho younger generation of bo\ s and girls are not satisfied to remain in the ruts; they are hungry for education. They ask many <|Uestions about the Christian religion. They compare notes, and they ask—more questions. A Phasing Speaker Dr. Hoover is a pleasing speaker,, and he radiates good fellowship. Hois going back with his wife and child. in October. H. W. Hoover was asked by Mr. Cossaboom to "say a few words." He praised Dr. Hoover (not a relative) for bis work in China, and. said it was an inspiring sight to see a young man of refinement and education undergo hardships to help boys in a foreign land find themselves. Pastor Cossaboom presided, Harold E. Schiltz directed the singing; the Itev. A. O. MusgraVe asked the invocation, and M. R. Bixler, superintendent of school.- in Louisville, made the- closing prayer. Features on the program were- singing, by the Hoover octet, directed by Ernest Fryer; the Community Building quartet, directed by Charles B. Williams, and electric guitar numbers by William Danner. After the meeting thc men went to the dining hall for refreshments and "a genaral good time." Henry J. Ginther was chaiiman of the Good Fellowship committee and with his assistants saw that no one was neglected.
