CHURCH HARVESTER HEAD MAKESSJATEMENT The Harvester Company's attitude In regard to the petition Just filed a- galnst it by the government In the United States district court at St. Paul. Minn., Is set forth in a statement by Alexander Legge, President of the company which has been received by Mr. O. P. Byers, Branch Manager of the International Harvester Company of America In Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Legge's statement says: "This petition Is A continuation of the suit brought against us eleven year ago. Upon the hearing of that case, held more than nine years ago. the Harvester Company was acqulted, both by the findings of the court and by the attorney general's admission, of any wrongful dealings or unfair practices toward customer or competitors, but, to insure the fullest competition, a decree was entered in 1918 requiring the company to Bell to competitors certain complete lines of harvesting machinery, and to limit its sales representation to a single dealer in any one town, "That decree further provided that at the end of a test period which has now expired the government might ask the court to determine whether or not the free competition contemplated by the Sherman law exists in the farm Implement industry. This step the government has now taken. "As we understand it, the sole issue raised by the present competition relates to competitive conditions wltb respect to harvesting machines only. It does not charge the company with unduly raising the price of harvesting machinery to the grave injury of the American farmer, as was charged In 1912, but it does charge that the company has been unduly depressing tha price of harvesting machinery, par- tlculary since 1920, to'- the Injury of its competitors. "Without attempting to argue our case at this time it seems fair to say that the unfortunate condition in which manufacturers of harvesting machines. and In fact of all other farm implements.

TRUSTEES SEE ROAD GRADERJN ACTION Joe Baxter, Road superlnte Ami of Amherst township and Trustees, Henry Brandt and Henry Dellefield attended a demonstration of H. P. One Man Grader at Cleveland yesterday. This grader ts used for road grading, Ditching, Road patrol. Snow removal and other road work and Is built by the Hadfield-Penfleld Steel Company of Bucyrus. The Grader is used with the Fordson tractor, and for this reason, Hugh L. Gawn, local Ford dealer made the trip with the trustees. They report a satisfactory demonstration of the machine and hope that Amherst township might be able to purchase one for road work here. The trustees have been doing the road repairing themselves, which has taken a great deal of time and effort on their part. They believe that with a machine, such as the HP Grader, they will bo fjable to cover 'more territory and keep the roads in better shape. No action, however, was taken towards the purchase of such a machine.

BU8INE88 MEN ERECT 8IGNS YESTERDAY Several members of the Amherst 1.ashless Men's Association erected signs at Penfield Junction, Brownhelm Whlskoyvllle and Kolbe's corner yes terday afternoon, following the noon day luncheon held at the Methodist church parlors. The signs were ordered several days ago, and were recently notified that they were finished. Several of those at the luncheon volunteered to see that th.'y were put up immediately. The signs are made of n wood frame and covered with sheet metal, and lettered "Amherst, the Sandstone Center of th? World," with an arrow- pointing in the direction of Amherst lr, -Keating ths distance from those points Into town. The signs were painted by M. D. Fleckner. STIFF PENALTY FOR SHORT MEASURES StllT penalties await dealers and operators of filling stations who may be disposed to give motorists short measure lu gasoline since the Atwood senate amendment to the law regulating weights and measures passed by the legislature at Its last session became effective last Monday, July 16, de- c.ared Charles Janes, secretary of The Ohio State Automobile association. During tho last year a number of persons were found guilty of giving aMot\ measure of gasoline, through the efforts made by the automobile clubs of Columbus, Cleveland and other cities of the. state under the law as It formerly existed, however, the penalties imposed were not considered commensurate with the of- f.ense. That the practice might be made less attractive to those engaged in the sale of gasoline The Ohio State Automobile Association set about to have the law amended and it was through the efforts of the association that the amendment was put trough the legislature. Under te new provision persons found guilty of violating the law may be fined not to exceed five hundred dollars, or Imprisonment for not more than six months, or a combined sentence of fine and imprisonment may be imposed by the trial court. Mr. Janes stated not all dealers .were inclined to defraud the motorists who> purchase gasoline, by giving short measure but there were those who have been preying on their patrons in this manner, and the association hopes to bring about an elimination of this class through the enforcement of the statute as It now stands. Dr. H. W. Turner was In Wakemau Sunday. David Brennen Sr,, of Cleveland spent the week end In Amherst. WWV_VWY-WWWWVWWWW.

Mr. and Mrs. Mervln Schubert were Elyrla visitors Sunday evening. We are Inquiring, "What has the 1Mb amendment to do with a federal republic?" 1 answer, "It breaks down the federal principle." According to Article IV, Section I of the constitution, United States troops enn- not be used to supress domestic violence except at the invitation of the State. That Is, the police power was to be retained by the states. This was to prevent such a centralization of power as would encroach upon those "Inalienable rights of life, liberty, and nnd the pursuit of happiness." The 18th amendment changes, ub- solutoly changes, this great federal principle. By this amendment the central government, without and Invltn- tlon from the state, can send the U. S. army Into any state and supress uny domestic violence thut In its oponion Is interfering with the enforcement of of the amendment. President Harding has recently called attention to the seriousness of this new situation in the case of New York. If this State persists In refusing to enforce this federal law, the national government now has the power tp compell her, even at the point of the bayonet. Do we not begin to see the sort of weapon this 18th amendment places in the hnnds of government? Do we not begin to sense the revolutionary change we have so blindly made in our federal principle? The Civil War and tho slavery amendments never made so radical and far-reaching a change as this. New York is not preaching nullification. She Is not proposing to wlthdruw from the Union, as certain states at ono time did. She is merely proposing to abide by her rights as guaranteed by the constitution. She Is merely calling the attention of the country to this terrible new power we have given so unthinkingly to the central government. Abraham Lincoln never proposed to Interfere with the slavery In the states. And the Emancipation Proclamation only proposed to free those slaves In open, armed rebellion. And It was not the war that so embittered the South. It was the cruelties of the reconstruction days thut created the hatreds and jealousies that still rancle. Those were the days when the national government rode rough-shod over the local rights of life, liberty and happiness. But the national government had no guaranteed constitutional power so to do. It simply usurped the authority. If the political philosophy of Abraham Lincoln had prevailed, suoh a usurpation had never occurred. But the Constitution had conferred .no power to coerce the states, and eventually the equllbrium was restored. Sanity, Intelligent public oponion had freedom to assert itself and become effectual. Now, however, the 18th amendment changes all this. Now the constitution itself confers autocratic power upon the national government. Now the states can be coerced, and sane public oponion Is helpless. This 18th amendment has accelerated the trend toward centralization and Interference with individual and local right. The groat danger In the 18th amendment from above, to the Prussianizing of our institutions, to a government by force. One of the greatest of America's present-day statesmen Elihu Root, when speaking before the Supreme Court three years ago, voiced this significant warning: "God grant that the constitution may romaiu effective for the imposition ot limits on that official power which, if not limited by the courts of the country, will destroy liberty as effectively as German autocracy has done." The next appearance of Fact and Fable will point out how tho 18th amendment has contravened thu reprsenta- tlve principle of the constitution. Publius.

TRUSTEES SEE ROAD GRADERJN ACTION Joe Baxter, Road superlnte Ami of Amherst township and Trustees, Henry Brandt and Henry Dellefield attended a demonstration of H. P. One Man Grader at Cleveland yesterday. This grader ts used for road grading, Ditching, Road patrol. Snow removal and other road work and Is built by the Hadfield-Penfleld Steel Company of Bucyrus. The Grader is used with the Fordson tractor, and for this reason, Hugh L. Gawn, local Ford dealer made the trip with the trustees. They report a satisfactory demonstration of the machine and hope that Amherst township might be able to purchase one for road work here. The trustees have been doing the road repairing themselves, which has taken a great deal of time and effort on their part. They believe that with a machine, such as the HP Grader, they will bo fjable to cover 'more territory and keep the roads in better shape. No action, however, was taken towards the purchase of such a machine.

STIFF PENALTY FOR SHORT MEASURES StllT penalties await dealers and operators of filling stations who may be disposed to give motorists short measure lu gasoline since the Atwood senate amendment to the law regulating weights and measures passed by the legislature at Its last session became effective last Monday, July 16, de- c.ared Charles Janes, secretary of The Ohio State Automobile association. During tho last year a number of persons were found guilty of giving aMot\ measure of gasoline, through the efforts made by the automobile clubs of Columbus, Cleveland and other cities of the. state under the law as It formerly existed, however, the penalties imposed were not considered commensurate with the of- f.ense. That the practice might be made less attractive to those engaged in the sale of gasoline The Ohio State Automobile Association set about to have the law amended and it was through the efforts of the association that the amendment was put trough the legislature. Under te new provision persons found guilty of violating the law may be fined not to exceed five hundred dollars, or Imprisonment for not more than six months, or a combined sentence of fine and imprisonment may be imposed by the trial court. Mr. Janes stated not all dealers .were inclined to defraud the motorists who> purchase gasoline, by giving short measure but there were those who have been preying on their patrons in this manner, and the association hopes to bring about an elimination of this class through the enforcement of the statute as It now stands.

Mr. and Mrs. Mervln Schubert were Elyrla visitors Sunday evening. We are Inquiring, "What has the 1Mb amendment to do with a federal republic?" 1 answer, "It breaks down the federal principle." According to Article IV, Section I of the constitution, United States troops enn- not be used to supress domestic violence except at the invitation of the State. That Is, the police power was to be retained by the states. This was to prevent such a centralization of power as would encroach upon those "Inalienable rights of life, liberty, and nnd the pursuit of happiness." The 18th amendment changes, ub- solutoly changes, this great federal principle. By this amendment the central government, without and Invltn- tlon from the state, can send the U. S. army Into any state and supress uny domestic violence thut In its oponion Is interfering with the enforcement of of the amendment. President Harding has recently called attention to the seriousness of this new situation in the case of New York. If this State persists In refusing to enforce this federal law, the national government now has the power tp compell her, even at the point of the bayonet. Do we not begin to see the sort of weapon this 18th amendment places in the hnnds of government? Do we not begin to sense the revolutionary change we have so blindly made in our federal principle? The Civil War and tho slavery amendments never made so radical and far-reaching a change as this. New York is not preaching nullification. She Is not proposing to wlthdruw from the Union, as certain states at ono time did. She is merely proposing to abide by her rights as guaranteed by the constitution. She Is merely calling the attention of the country to this terrible new power we have given so unthinkingly to the central government. Abraham Lincoln never proposed to Interfere with the slavery In the states. And the Emancipation Proclamation only proposed to free those slaves In open, armed rebellion. And It was not the war that so embittered the South. It was the cruelties of the reconstruction days thut created the hatreds and jealousies that still rancle. Those were the days when the national government rode rough-shod over the local rights of life, liberty and happiness. But the national government had no guaranteed constitutional power so to do. It simply usurped the authority. If the political philosophy of Abraham Lincoln had prevailed, suoh a usurpation had never occurred. But the Constitution had conferred .no power to coerce the states, and eventually the equllbrium was restored. Sanity, Intelligent public oponion had freedom to assert itself and become effectual. Now, however, the 18th amendment changes all this. Now the constitution itself confers autocratic power upon the national government. Now the states can be coerced, and sane public oponion Is helpless. This 18th amendment has accelerated the trend toward centralization and Interference with individual and local right. The groat danger In the 18th amendment from above, to the Prussianizing of our institutions, to a government by force. One of the greatest of America's present-day statesmen Elihu Root, when speaking before the Supreme Court three years ago, voiced this significant warning: "God grant that the constitution may romaiu effective for the imposition ot limits on that official power which, if not limited by the courts of the country, will destroy liberty as effectively as German autocracy has done." The next appearance of Fact and Fable will point out how tho 18th amendment has contravened thu reprsenta- tlve principle of the constitution. Publius.
