CLEAJTUPLOTS North Canton Truck Farmers Are Requested To Leave Ground "Spick and Span." y air am began using my hand after the manner of a man pumping water. This year the office-seeker is much more subdued. He realizes that the party label hasn't the pulling- power of the old days, and that the people are beginning to use their brains. When people start to think, politicians begin to worry. Political promises are easy to swallow, but of little value after you have gulped them down. One-Sided Voting Now that the season of truck farming is practically over, we will appreciate it if the men who "farmed" the lots on the Shoemaker farm and the Noaker farm and raised considerable vegetables for their table will get busy and clean-up the lots. Don't leave stub' lying around. Put the lots in good condition. Y'ou can show your appreciation of courtesies extended by doing this. Thank you. THE COMMITTEE. THE writer of this column never favored 'one-sided voting. A county, a city, a town; yes, even a village, becomes "corrupt and contented," to quote Elihu Root, when the people vote one ticket at every election. One-party voting creates bosses and their principal thought and endeavor is to get as many of their followers or relatives on the pay-roll as possible and thereby build up their own political machines and insure their future feeding at the public trough. And right there is the chief reason for the burden of excessive taxation which is so destructive to our prosperity. The best governed large city in the J United States is Milwaukee,- Wisconsin. There are no gangsters in that I city. The chief of police runs tbe ( crooks out of town the minute they are spotted, and he can do this because there is no "higher-up" to hold him in check. The people in Milwaukee do their own thinking, and so tloes the chief of police. Comparing Counties THE best governed county I ever saw was Kay county, Oklahoma. The county was never known to give Republicans or Democrats more than 25 plurality, and the result was both parties put up good men and the people got splendid service The citi- THERE is something wrong, or lacking, or both, as to tlie apprehension and treatment of criminals in this country. Our soldiers went to Europe to deliver Em ope from the power of Germany. They did that which they went to do; but all the power of tlie United States has not been sufficient to capture the murderers of the Lindbergh baby. What is wrong'.' In the first place we are too easy witli crooks. Hardened criminals should not be allowed to be at liberty. Skilled criminals have become so by having plenty of opportunity ami practice. Capone would probably never have been deposed from his nefarious career if Uncle Sam had not made a long and arduous effort to get him. He should never get out again, but he probably will. t X X GUNMEN are carrying, on war daily against decent people and against the government. Many persons think the police and detectives are not efficient. In a few instances this is true, but in thc majority of cases, police chiefs, policemen and detectives are honest and capable. The trouble lies not with them, but with crooked higher-ups in political rings. These higher-ups are found among lawyers, office-holders and racketeers. When a police chief in a city starts to clean-up things he soon learns that there is a chalk-line over which lie is not permitted to cross. If he defies the politicians, he gets nowhere. They ".break" him by reducing liim to a subordinate position or they throw him out of the department on a trumped-up charge of breaking the police rules. I X X DETECTIVES get thc same dose of medicine. One of the best detectives in Philadelphia, Pa., years J ago was called before a commission and charged with "overstepping his I authority." It was fortunate for him I that he hail a number of warm friends among tbe newspaper men. Instead | of discharging or reducing the rank j of the detective, the commissioners commended his work, and the fellow ' responsible for tlie fake charges—a close relative of a politician—went to prison for a few years. Boxing, Wrestling, Dancing "The manly art of self-defence," as boxing is called in polite circles, will be a feature of the evening. Several boxers will display their skill with the gloves, and while he tloes not expect any of the leather-pushers to become excited, Willis Wootl will be on the platform to make sure that the lads don't get too warm anil paste each other too hard. An old hand himself with thc mitts, Mr. Wood promises that science will be more in evidence than wallops. Wrestling will have a place on the program, and again Mr. Wood's eagle optics will watch tlie performers to see that the grapplers' tools are not too finely ground. Gymnastic Dancing Gymnastic dancing will be one of the features, and this is to he a colorful event. "All in all," as the sport writers say, Tuesday night, Oct. 11, will no doubt be "one swell little night" after the presentation ceremonies and introductions are over and the boys get down to business. gion s Responsil [AN EDITORIAL! NORTH CANTON American Legion Post's status as a body of level-headed men lias been confirmed again in the selection of Howard L. Zengler as Legion commander and in his assistants, Lester Mohler, first vice-commander; Otis Jester; second vice-commander; Allen J. Schneider, adjutant; C. E. Stockert, finance officer; sergeant-at-arms, I. i\l. Keith; chaplain, Melvin It. Ilixler; historian, T. G. Denton. Since its organization the American Legion of Nortli Canton has been fortunate in the selection of its commanders, although in such a fine body of men it is not dillicult to pick capable guides. The Legion of North Canton would be a credit to any community. The members stand absolutely 100 per cent for the "Community Spirit," and when an organization does that it is as nearly perfect as is anything in this old world. Commander Howard L. Zengler will have many civic duties to face. Some of them will not be easy. Like his predecessors, lie will meet them and solve them. It is an honor to be the commander of au American Legion Post of the high standing of North Canton Post, but the honor carries many responsibilities to the public. These duties, The Sun feels sure, Commander Zengler and his asociates will perform in the usual Legion way and thus continue to merit the approvial of the public. K. OF P.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary Installation of Officers The biggest thing on the local Legion horizon at this time is the big- installation meeting to be held in McKinley high school auditorium, Canton, on Thursday evening of this week, Oct. (i. At this meeting, which is sponsored by Canton Post No. 4-1, tbe newly elected oll'icers of the various Posts of Sub-district No. 3 are to be installed. The meeting is open to tbe, public and it is hoped that many will avail themselves of the opportunity to become acquainted with Legion ideals and principles. Because of the large number of officers that will be installed the ceremonies are sure to lie impressive. Ralph D. Cole of Findlay, who was elected department commander at the Toledo convention, will be the main speaker. It will be a real privilege to he able to listen to a man of his position ant! calibre.

Gene Wallace, Democratic nominee for Clerk of the Stark County Courts, and Frank J. Shisler, nominee for County Recorder, called to see about advertising rates. During tbe conversation it transpired that in early life, back in the M)'s, Mr. Wallace was a typesetter on The Voice, a nationally known prohibition weekly newspaper, published in New York city. Prohibition was not popular in those cays and the Voice wanted a staff of experienced writers—men able to tell about the evil effect of booze as they saw it daily. Ben Long was then on the New York Morning Star, an anti-Tammany newspaper, lb- was writing police news. He agreed to contribute, with out pay, articles to The Voice, be cause be was then, as he is now, an ardent dry. As a printer, young Wallace put Long's ai tides in type. And on Tuesday, October 2, I!).'12, the two men met for the first time. Who dares say this isn't a small world '.' The Voice, by the way, was a great newspaper, ami as the pioneer in "dry" journalism it did much good. II liatl an able stall'. Nothing like it today anywhere.

In obeying the rules of "Fire Prevention Week" Chief Joe Smith of tbe North Canton Fire Department will begin an inspection of business places, heating plants, gaiagos and church basements on Fritlaj or Saturday of this week. The Chief expects a state man from the Fire .Marshal's oll'ice to "drop into town" early next week and "look around." Pleased Willi Co-operation In discussing Fin.' Prevention Week with a writer for The Sun Chief Smith said that the Fin- Heparlniont is pleased with the co-operation it receives from tbe residents of North Canton. "Our people realize that an ounce of prevention prevents groans and tears, and the care they exorcise means not only saving tlieir homes, hut it keeps the insurance rates down, Firemen Well Received "The men of the Fire Department are always courteously received in homes and places of business, and safety suggestions are generally followed within a day or two, sometimes within a few hours. "Fire Prevention Week starts on Sunday and lasts the full seven days. As a matter of safety every week ought to be Fire Prevention Week," .-aid Chief Smith. ! FIREMEN SAYE HOME Reach Ih .1. Foltz Farm 111 Time To Keep Flames From Spreading. When North Canton firemen reached the farm of H. J. Foltz during the early hour.-, of Saturday morning they found the big bam used as a garage and storage liouse in tlames. The house occupied by the Foltz family was in grave danger, so tlie firemen went to work fo save the house. Thev succeeded. The left'hand of Mr. Foltz was badly burned and Chief Smith ordered j one of his men to render first aid '. and bandage the hand. I MAYOR Fit \NK M. FVANS Asked by a writer for The Sun if he had any message about Fire Prevention Week, Mayor Frank M. Kvans said: "It is the season when firemen are busy. The newspapers print many accounts of the damage 'lone by the flames. They ait- no lespeeter of buildines. Remembering the peril of fire, it behoove. au enlightened coin- nuniity like North Canton to see to it that every piecaution is taken to guard the business building's, the churches, and the homes of our people. Fire Prevention Week is a good time to do some serious thinking. "North Canton would he the subject of comment far from pleasant ii" we failed to protect our property from lire. I am heartily in sympathy with every move Fire Chief joe Smith and his men make to keep down tlie tin- hazard. Thanks to the intelligence of our people, we have been fortunate in having few lires here, antl I reitaiiil> hope our gootl foilune I -m.-iiiis with us for many years In come," said Mavor F.\uns. II IX.I Mil IO\ ( MOORI Former .Judge Milton C. Moon- of Alliance, who is seeking the oll'ice of Probate Judge of Stark county, was in Nortli Canton this week shaking; hands with a number of old friends. Judge Moore is a man you will like after a few minutes conversation. Modesty is one of his strong traits, and in his quiet way he does what he can to help the "little fellow" striving to keep afloat. His friends expect him to poll a large vote in the rural districts. Farmers know him to be strictly on the level, and from what The Sun learns, he has many friends among the farmers. Farmers Like Him A. farmer was in this newspaper oll'ice when Judge Moore called. After the Judge had taken his departure, the farmer said: "That's a mighty square man. I've had business dealings with him, and believe me, he will make just the kind of Probate Judge Stark county needs. He will get my vote in November." A Business Alan's Views "I have been asking for a change in the Probate Court for years," said a business man of North Canton to a writer for The Sun yesterday, "and , it will come this year when the peo- ' pie elect Judge Moore of Alliance to be Probate Judge. "For years that oll'ice has been a \ prize package among a certain few in : Canton, and I'm sick and tired of it all. A man of Judge Moore's high j standing will take the oll'ice out of family politics ami administer it in the proper way. Judge Moore's great record on the Bench in Alliance is known to me and I am for him for Probate Judge. Politicians don't want him because they can't use him. That's the reason I'm for him." Growing In Strength That Judge Moore is growing in strength daily is one of the signs that the people have become weary of "family polities," to quote the words of the North Canton business man. A Judge should be absolute!} free to perform bis olficial duties. When he takes the high oll'ice of Judge be should be excused from participation in politics. Stark county is fortunate in it.s judiciary. Our Judees are a credit to Ohio. Then let us keep it that way by vol ing for a man the bosses in both political parties are against — Milton ('. Moore. The fact that the Republican and Democratic bosses tlo nol want Judge Moore in the Probate Court is the reason The Sun is urging the people to vote for Moore. No one has a string tied to him. He has made no promises, except to say that if elected he will serve all tiie people faithfully. Am', that he will do so. no one doubts. BECHER MOVES Sports Goods Store and Bus Ticket Office On South .Main. The Becher Sports Goods store anil the bus ticket oll'ice has moved from the corner of Main and Last Maple street to the store two doors below on South Main street. Here will be found everything for the sport-man. and bus tickets for (.'anion, Akron, Cleveland ond stops belween tiiose cities.

This year the office-seeker is much more subdued. He realizes that the party label hasn't the pulling- power of the old days, and that the people are beginning to use their brains. When people start to think, politicians begin to worry. Political promises are easy to swallow, but of little value after you have gulped them down. One-Sided Voting Now that the season of truck farming is practically over, we will appreciate it if the men who "farmed" the lots on the Shoemaker farm and the Noaker farm and raised considerable vegetables for their table will get busy and clean-up the lots. Don't leave stub' lying around. Put the lots in good condition. Y'ou can show your appreciation of courtesies extended by doing this. Thank you. THE COMMITTEE. THE writer of this column never favored 'one-sided voting. A county, a city, a town; yes, even a village, becomes "corrupt and contented," to quote Elihu Root, when the people vote one ticket at every election. One-party voting creates bosses and their principal thought and endeavor is to get as many of their followers or relatives on the pay-roll as possible and thereby build up their own political machines and insure their future feeding at the public trough. And right there is the chief reason for the burden of excessive taxation which is so destructive to our prosperity. The best governed large city in the J United States is Milwaukee,- Wisconsin. There are no gangsters in that I city. The chief of police runs tbe ( crooks out of town the minute they are spotted, and he can do this because there is no "higher-up" to hold him in check. The people in Milwaukee do their own thinking, and so tloes the chief of police. Comparing Counties THE best governed county I ever saw was Kay county, Oklahoma. The county was never known to give Republicans or Democrats more than 25 plurality, and the result was both parties put up good men and the people got splendid service The citi- THERE is something wrong, or lacking, or both, as to tlie apprehension and treatment of criminals in this country. Our soldiers went to Europe to deliver Em ope from the power of Germany. They did that which they went to do; but all the power of tlie United States has not been sufficient to capture the murderers of the Lindbergh baby. What is wrong'.' In the first place we are too easy witli crooks. Hardened criminals should not be allowed to be at liberty. Skilled criminals have become so by having plenty of opportunity ami practice. Capone would probably never have been deposed from his nefarious career if Uncle Sam had not made a long and arduous effort to get him. He should never get out again, but he probably will. t X X GUNMEN are carrying, on war daily against decent people and against the government. Many persons think the police and detectives are not efficient. In a few instances this is true, but in thc majority of cases, police chiefs, policemen and detectives are honest and capable. The trouble lies not with them, but with crooked higher-ups in political rings. These higher-ups are found among lawyers, office-holders and racketeers. When a police chief in a city starts to clean-up things he soon learns that there is a chalk-line over which lie is not permitted to cross. If he defies the politicians, he gets nowhere. They ".break" him by reducing liim to a subordinate position or they throw him out of the department on a trumped-up charge of breaking the police rules. I X X DETECTIVES get thc same dose of medicine. One of the best detectives in Philadelphia, Pa., years J ago was called before a commission and charged with "overstepping his I authority." It was fortunate for him I that he hail a number of warm friends among tbe newspaper men. Instead | of discharging or reducing the rank j of the detective, the commissioners commended his work, and the fellow ' responsible for tlie fake charges—a close relative of a politician—went to prison for a few years. Boxing, Wrestling, Dancing "The manly art of self-defence," as boxing is called in polite circles, will be a feature of the evening. Several boxers will display their skill with the gloves, and while he tloes not expect any of the leather-pushers to become excited, Willis Wootl will be on the platform to make sure that the lads don't get too warm anil paste each other too hard. An old hand himself with thc mitts, Mr. Wood promises that science will be more in evidence than wallops. Wrestling will have a place on the program, and again Mr. Wood's eagle optics will watch tlie performers to see that the grapplers' tools are not too finely ground. Gymnastic Dancing Gymnastic dancing will be one of the features, and this is to he a colorful event. "All in all," as the sport writers say, Tuesday night, Oct. 11, will no doubt be "one swell little night" after the presentation ceremonies and introductions are over and the boys get down to business. gion s Responsil [AN EDITORIAL! NORTH CANTON American Legion Post's status as a body of level-headed men lias been confirmed again in the selection of Howard L. Zengler as Legion commander and in his assistants, Lester Mohler, first vice-commander; Otis Jester; second vice-commander; Allen J. Schneider, adjutant; C. E. Stockert, finance officer; sergeant-at-arms, I. i\l. Keith; chaplain, Melvin It. Ilixler; historian, T. G. Denton. Since its organization the American Legion of Nortli Canton has been fortunate in the selection of its commanders, although in such a fine body of men it is not dillicult to pick capable guides. The Legion of North Canton would be a credit to any community. The members stand absolutely 100 per cent for the "Community Spirit," and when an organization does that it is as nearly perfect as is anything in this old world. Commander Howard L. Zengler will have many civic duties to face. Some of them will not be easy. Like his predecessors, lie will meet them and solve them. It is an honor to be the commander of au American Legion Post of the high standing of North Canton Post, but the honor carries many responsibilities to the public. These duties, The Sun feels sure, Commander Zengler and his asociates will perform in the usual Legion way and thus continue to merit the approvial of the public. K. OF P.

Gene Wallace, Democratic nominee for Clerk of the Stark County Courts, and Frank J. Shisler, nominee for County Recorder, called to see about advertising rates. During tbe conversation it transpired that in early life, back in the M)'s, Mr. Wallace was a typesetter on The Voice, a nationally known prohibition weekly newspaper, published in New York city. Prohibition was not popular in those cays and the Voice wanted a staff of experienced writers—men able to tell about the evil effect of booze as they saw it daily. Ben Long was then on the New York Morning Star, an anti-Tammany newspaper, lb- was writing police news. He agreed to contribute, with out pay, articles to The Voice, be cause be was then, as he is now, an ardent dry. As a printer, young Wallace put Long's ai tides in type. And on Tuesday, October 2, I!).'12, the two men met for the first time. Who dares say this isn't a small world '.' The Voice, by the way, was a great newspaper, ami as the pioneer in "dry" journalism it did much good. II liatl an able stall'. Nothing like it today anywhere. Mr. Wallace, after several years with The Voice, came to Ohio.

In obeying the rules of "Fire Prevention Week" Chief Joe Smith of tbe North Canton Fire Department will begin an inspection of business places, heating plants, gaiagos and church basements on Fritlaj or Saturday of this week. The Chief expects a state man from the Fire .Marshal's oll'ice to "drop into town" early next week and "look around." Pleased Willi Co-operation In discussing Fin.' Prevention Week with a writer for The Sun Chief Smith said that the Fin- Heparlniont is pleased with the co-operation it receives from tbe residents of North Canton. "Our people realize that an ounce of prevention prevents groans and tears, and the care they exorcise means not only saving tlieir homes, hut it keeps the insurance rates down, Firemen Well Received "The men of the Fire Department are always courteously received in homes and places of business, and safety suggestions are generally followed within a day or two, sometimes within a few hours. "Fire Prevention Week starts on Sunday and lasts the full seven days. As a matter of safety every week ought to be Fire Prevention Week," .-aid Chief Smith. ! FIREMEN SAYE HOME Reach Ih .1. Foltz Farm 111 Time To Keep Flames From Spreading. When North Canton firemen reached the farm of H. J. Foltz during the early hour.-, of Saturday morning they found the big bam used as a garage and storage liouse in tlames. The house occupied by the Foltz family was in grave danger, so tlie firemen went to work fo save the house. Thev succeeded. The left'hand of Mr. Foltz was badly burned and Chief Smith ordered j one of his men to render first aid '. and bandage the hand. I MAYOR Fit \NK M. FVANS Asked by a writer for The Sun if he had any message about Fire Prevention Week, Mayor Frank M. Kvans said: "It is the season when firemen are busy. The newspapers print many accounts of the damage 'lone by the flames. They ait- no lespeeter of buildines. Remembering the peril of fire, it behoove. au enlightened coin- nuniity like North Canton to see to it that every piecaution is taken to guard the business building's, the churches, and the homes of our people. Fire Prevention Week is a good time to do some serious thinking. "North Canton would he the subject of comment far from pleasant ii" we failed to protect our property from lire. I am heartily in sympathy with every move Fire Chief joe Smith and his men make to keep down tlie tin- hazard. Thanks to the intelligence of our people, we have been fortunate in having few lires here, antl I reitaiiil> hope our gootl foilune I -m.-iiiis with us for many years In come," said Mavor F.\uns. II IX.I Mil IO\ ( MOORI Former .Judge Milton C. Moon- of Alliance, who is seeking the oll'ice of Probate Judge of Stark county, was in Nortli Canton this week shaking; hands with a number of old friends. Judge Moore is a man you will like after a few minutes conversation. Modesty is one of his strong traits, and in his quiet way he does what he can to help the "little fellow" striving to keep afloat. His friends expect him to poll a large vote in the rural districts. Farmers know him to be strictly on the level, and from what The Sun learns, he has many friends among the farmers. Farmers Like Him A. farmer was in this newspaper oll'ice when Judge Moore called. After the Judge had taken his departure, the farmer said: "That's a mighty square man. I've had business dealings with him, and believe me, he will make just the kind of Probate Judge Stark county needs. He will get my vote in November." A Business Alan's Views "I have been asking for a change in the Probate Court for years," said a business man of North Canton to a writer for The Sun yesterday, "and , it will come this year when the peo- ' pie elect Judge Moore of Alliance to be Probate Judge. "For years that oll'ice has been a \ prize package among a certain few in : Canton, and I'm sick and tired of it all. A man of Judge Moore's high j standing will take the oll'ice out of family politics ami administer it in the proper way. Judge Moore's great record on the Bench in Alliance is known to me and I am for him for Probate Judge. Politicians don't want him because they can't use him. That's the reason I'm for him." Growing In Strength That Judge Moore is growing in strength daily is one of the signs that the people have become weary of "family polities," to quote the words of the North Canton business man. A Judge should be absolute!} free to perform bis olficial duties. When he takes the high oll'ice of Judge be should be excused from participation in politics. Stark county is fortunate in it.s judiciary. Our Judees are a credit to Ohio. Then let us keep it that way by vol ing for a man the bosses in both political parties are against — Milton ('. Moore. The fact that the Republican and Democratic bosses tlo nol want Judge Moore in the Probate Court is the reason The Sun is urging the people to vote for Moore. No one has a string tied to him. He has made no promises, except to say that if elected he will serve all tiie people faithfully. Am', that he will do so. no one doubts. BECHER MOVES Sports Goods Store and Bus Ticket Office On South .Main. The Becher Sports Goods store anil the bus ticket oll'ice has moved from the corner of Main and Last Maple street to the store two doors below on South Main street. Here will be found everything for the sport-man. and bus tickets for (.'anion, Akron, Cleveland ond stops belween tiiose cities.
