He is to speak on Frdiay evening, March 29, in the Community Building. On this occasion the mothers ,and sons of North Canton will hold their annual banquet. Told Without Varnish h Ben Long Endorsing Candidates WITH all due respect to the views of George F. Cafferty, New York political writer, the writer of Told Without Varnish believes that not until there is some uniformity in the primary laws among the several states will it be safe to eliminate the "iminstructed delegate" in national political conventions. An instructed delegation simply invites the selection of a "dark horse." This was true in the Democratic nominating convention of 184-1 where Martin VanBuren received a majority of the instructed votes on the first ballot, but he was not nominated owing to the adoption of the two- thirds rule. In his place James K. Polk was chosen to break the deadlock which was partly imposed by the system of pledging delegates. The laws of some states release their delegates from their pledges after a certain number of ballots. A delegate to a national convention is in an inane position when compelled to vote to the last ballot for a candidate who cannot possibly oe nominated. i % i THERE is also a certain amount of hysteria which the instructed delegation bring to the convention which is sectional rather than national in character. As long as we have the national convention system the human element which enters it .cannot he avoided. The only other case in our history where a candidate receiving a majority of votes in the convention was not chosen the presidential nominee was the Democratic convention in Baltimore in 1912. At this convention Champ Clark of Missouri received a majority but -was -unable to secure the requisite two-thirds vote. Had it not heen ifor the powerful influence of William Jennings Bryan in that convention and the extreme heat of Baltimore at that season, it would not be a Tiad guess to say that Clark would have received the nomination. t t t AS LONG as -we have the convention system for nominating presidential candidates, and this method has met -with reasonahle success over a period of nearly 98 years, we cannot expect to improve it by any ill-advised measures. It is, to be sure, a more direct method of registering the popular choice, hut in this connection it may be relevant to ask whether the direct popular vote has produced a better group of men in county, state or national offices. If we are to begin to reform the primary system it will be necessary to strike deeper than the pledging of delegates. It should also be rememher- ed that no primary or election machinery will ever ta"ke the place of intelligence and public spirit. REVIVAL STARTS IN GOSPEL TABERNACLE Evangelist Paul Kenyon Will Begin His Warfare On Sin Tomorrow (Thursday) Evening and Remain In North Canton Until March 31. THREE SERVICES SUNDAY i i WHILE on the subject of presidential instructed delegates, let me add that under Ohio's present primary law there is much room for argument against a candidate for governor running out to grab the endorsement of a county committee. I know that Republicans and Democrats malce it a point to secure an endorsement, but in many instances such an open endorsement -works an injury. Small counties feel that the populous ones are doing the dictating, and large counties believe that the smaller- ones are attempting to do the bossing. Tlie result is friction, and the voter inclined to be independent casts his ballot in the primary for the candidate he feels sure has no strings tied to him. In many cases the voter is wrong, and as a "result a weak man gets the nomination or comes so close to it that the party he represents is split into factions on election day. Then, too, if a county committee endorses A, and B is nominated, the latter is not "overly enthusiastic," if he is elected, over the county that turned him down at the primary. All of which proves that if you like hot spots, thorns and mud become a political leader. You will be damned if you do and damned if you don't, and you will be blamed for many things you know nothing about. THE REV. PAUL KENYON A former jazz orchestra player and vocalist, the Rev. Paul Kenyon, who turned from appealing to the feet to educating the mind along Christian channels, will begin a warfare on sin tomorrow evening (Thursday) in the Gospel tabernacle, corner Charlotte and Edwards streets, North Canton. He is said to be a master of several musical instruments and he will play and sing special numbers at all services which begin each evening at 7:30. On Sunday there will be three services, 10:30 a.m.; 3:00 and 7:30 p.m. A Straight Sin Hitter "Evangelist Kenyon knows how to appeal to the souls of his hearers and he doesn't chase the devil around the stump, but goes straight for him in his sermons," said a member of the Gospel tabernacle to a writer for The Sun this Wednesday morning. "Please say, too, that we want to welcome all to these evangelistic meetings. They are going to be good for the mind, and what is of the utmost importance, the soul." SERVICES AT CREENSBURG The Rev. F. Lincicome Will Preach From April 8 To 21st. Special to The Sun Greensburg, March 20—Evangelistic services in the Greensburg Evangelical church will begin on April 8 and continue until Sunday night, April 21.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary WANT ORPHAN BOYOR GIRL FOR ADOPTION? A letter has been received from the department child welfare director, calling our attention of the problem of placing the boys and girls of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans home in proper homes after they become 18 years of age. He says: "In this year's class there are thirty young men and women, eighteen years of age that are leaving the Home, and it is our duty to see that these young people are placed in proper homes and secure employment." Anyone interested kindly adxise our Post Commander or write to Mrs. L, E. Carson, supervisor O. S. and S. 0.

[Continued on page two] WE DO OUR PART The Sun Is a Member of the National Editorial Association LETTERS TO THE SUN Oberlin College Years Ago Editors The Sun: As many of your readers know, Oberlin college was organized in 1833. Its history is an interesting one. In 1933 Oberlin celebrated 100 years of "worthwhile effort," so I think the following tribute from Alice Stone Blackwell, famous writer and lecturer, will prove of interest to many persons in what you are pleased to call The Sun's territory. It appeared originally in a Boston newspaper on December 11, 1933. I trust you can find space to print it. OBERLIN GRADUATE. North Canton, O., March 18, 1935. The Letter The Oberlin centennial recalls some of Lucy Stone's curious experiences at Oberlin in the early days. She was the first Massachusetts woman to take a college degree (in 1847). Oberlin was then the only college admitting women. At the _ low wages paid to women teachers in those days, it took her nine years to save the money, to carry her out to Oberlin. When there, she earned money for her expenses partly by teaching during the vacations, and partly by doing housework in the ladies' hoarding hall at three cents an hour. Many persons afterwards famous also eked out their expenses by doing housework in the college. She wrote, long after: Future governors of the state, members of congress, generals of armies, were part of the working brigade of Oberlin. General Cox, a paper cap on his head, with apron and sleeves rolled up, made the crackers which, on Sunday morning, with crust coffee, made the breakfast. She organized the first debating society ever formed among college girls. They had to meet secretly, because public speaking by women was thought improper and contrary to Scripture. At her graduation she was appointed to write an essay to be read at commencement, but was notified that one of the professors would have to read for her. Rather than not read it herself, she refused to write it. When Oberlin celebrated its semicentennial, she was invited to be one of the speakers—the only woman on the program. JUSTICEHOLMES' WIT Jokes With Justice Day About Canton Man's Son Rufus. Special to The Sun Washington, March 20.—Congressman William R. Thorn of Canton credits the following about the appearance in the U. S. Supreme Court, of Rufus Day, formerly of Canton, and a son of the lato Associate Supreme Court Justice William R. Day. "It was a quiet day in the Supreme Court," said Ludlow. "Rufus Day, a splendid-looking young lawyer of Canton, Ohio, arose in the well of the court to make an oral argument. Rufus occupied about all of the available space, being a man of very large proportions. Sitting among- the black- robed justices on the bench before him was his own father, Justice William R. Day. He was a great statesman, lawyer and jurist, hut a small man physically compared with his son. When Rufus Day rose to speak Justice Holmes, whose seat on the bench was by the side of Justice Day, leaned over and said to Justice Day in a voice which he purposely intended should be heard all over the court room: "Why, he's a block off the old chip, ain't he?" BOOKSlORLENT N. C. Library Has a Number It Will j Lend To the Public. i The North Canton Library this week offers a list of books for Lenten reading. Some of these titles are old and some new but all are appropriate for the season. Kerr, "After He Had Risen." Clinchy, "All In the Name of God." Payson, "I Follow the Road." Morton, "In the Steps of the Master." Sharp, "Christ and His Time." Page, "The Personality of, God." Ludwig, "Son of Man." j ■ Browne, "How Odd of God." E. S. Jones, "Christ's Alternative To Communism." '■ Borden, "King of the Jews." ; Simpson, "Testament of Love." ; Fosdick, "Secret of Victorious Liv-! ing." j Dickens, "Life of Our Lord." i As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Think of the Future IF WE must put up with an unceasing round of strikes anil other forms of labor troubles when the country is just beginning to recover from its economic prostration, with millions of men on government relief, what will the situation be when the government ceases in time to hand out money to those millions and they are forced to rely upon their own efforts? The present is bad enough. We dislike to think of the possibilities of the future. We,Need Planes THERE are many who believe the next war will be one of gas, showered broadside upon combatants and non-combatants alike, killing men, women and children by the wholesale. That gas will come from enemy planes in the air, and wc have not sufficient air force to prevent it. The thought is enough tu dismay even the most courageous heart. We of America are a peace-loving people, opposed to war. But it is suicidal for us to allow that opposition to lead us into a crippled, condition that is sure to bring on an attack by a more powerful nation when war does come. A dog cannot fight without teeth. A nation cannot defend itself without an army, a navy and an adequate air force. o Make It Fifty-Fifty THE SUN can not remember tlie time when the tiller of the soil or the raiser of stock was given the- consideration that is his due. We of the small towns and the countryside know that our cousins in the great cities must live, but can as much be said of those who live in the great centers of population? Can we truly say that they give even a passing thought to the plight of the man of the soil ? We would not charge our city friends with being more than ordin- BMojJE7¥7riiL by mm CLUB This Year It Will Be Served By Ladies of St. Paul's. The Woman's club banquet dale is Monday, April 1, and it will be held in St. Paul's church hall. The meal will be served by the ladies of the congregation. Tickets will be 50 cents each and the guest of honor will be Miss Elizabeth Haymaker, state president of Ohio's Federated clubs. Miss Dorothy Corner of Canton will entertain for a period. Meeting On Monday Monday night the program was in charge of Mrs. W. B. Evans of Hower street and she was complimented for her arrangement of the evening's entertainment. The numbers were: Two numbers on the xylophone, Opal Smith, accompanied by Helen Rohr. Mrs. Spohn sang three numbers, accompanied by Miss Smith. The two youngest children of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Rohrer sang two numbers, accompanied by Mrs. W. B. Evans. Miss Lavonne Gougler played a lively Spanish dance number accompanied by Martha McDowell. Readings By Mrs. Boli Mrs. Fred Boli gave readings of her own composition in dialect, Irish and Dutch. Her last number was an impersonation of the radio Goldberg program with her own composition, "The Community Tree." Mrs. Boli has gained an enviable reputation as an "all-around entertainer." arily selfish, but we do believe that as a class they are living from day to day unto themselves. Their horizon is the city limits. Their planning is for self. The lower the price of the cotton and farm products the better it suits them. The ability of tlle farmer to live and support his family on the prices city people pay does not enter the question. People in cities want the maximum for what they do. They want the products of the farm or the ranches or the cotton fields for the minimum of cost. | But perhaps it's just human nature, j Every dog wants tlie biggest and juiciest bones.

Tinkering with tariffs is playing with dynamite these days. Importing anything we can raise or manufacture in the United States is good for the foreigner, but bad, very bad, for the average American. Craziest of All GATHER around, children, and hear a nice little bed-time story. Once upon a time a man died who had done some very good things and also some bad ones. The editor didn't know whether he ascended to heaven or descended to the other place, so he just left the defunct one poised betwixt and between. Relatives of the departed were indignant that the editor had not consigned him to the realm of saints. His victims in shady deals were emphatic that he was roasting in the hot place and censured the poor editor because he didn't tell the plain truth. And people who didn't care a rap where he went accused the distracted newsman of attempting to court the favor of both sides by straddling the fence that begins in heaven and ends in hell. Which just about proves that most people on this earth are crazy, and that newspaper editors are the craziest of all for engaging in such a business.

If we are to begin to reform the primary system it will be necessary to strike deeper than the pledging of delegates. It should also be rememher- ed that no primary or election machinery will ever ta"ke the place of intelligence and public spirit. REVIVAL STARTS IN GOSPEL TABERNACLE Evangelist Paul Kenyon Will Begin His Warfare On Sin Tomorrow (Thursday) Evening and Remain In North Canton Until March 31. THREE SERVICES SUNDAY i i WHILE on the subject of presidential instructed delegates, let me add that under Ohio's present primary law there is much room for argument against a candidate for governor running out to grab the endorsement of a county committee. I know that Republicans and Democrats malce it a point to secure an endorsement, but in many instances such an open endorsement -works an injury. Small counties feel that the populous ones are doing the dictating, and large counties believe that the smaller- ones are attempting to do the bossing. Tlie result is friction, and the voter inclined to be independent casts his ballot in the primary for the candidate he feels sure has no strings tied to him. In many cases the voter is wrong, and as a "result a weak man gets the nomination or comes so close to it that the party he represents is split into factions on election day. Then, too, if a county committee endorses A, and B is nominated, the latter is not "overly enthusiastic," if he is elected, over the county that turned him down at the primary. All of which proves that if you like hot spots, thorns and mud become a political leader. You will be damned if you do and damned if you don't, and you will be blamed for many things you know nothing about. THE REV. PAUL KENYON A former jazz orchestra player and vocalist, the Rev. Paul Kenyon, who turned from appealing to the feet to educating the mind along Christian channels, will begin a warfare on sin tomorrow evening (Thursday) in the Gospel tabernacle, corner Charlotte and Edwards streets, North Canton.

"Please say, too, that we want to welcome all to these evangelistic meetings. They are going to be good for the mind, and what is of the utmost importance, the soul." SERVICES AT CREENSBURG The Rev.

[Continued on page two] WE DO OUR PART The Sun Is a Member of the National Editorial Association LETTERS TO THE SUN Oberlin College Years Ago Editors The Sun: As many of your readers know, Oberlin college was organized in 1833. Its history is an interesting one. In 1933 Oberlin celebrated 100 years of "worthwhile effort," so I think the following tribute from Alice Stone Blackwell, famous writer and lecturer, will prove of interest to many persons in what you are pleased to call The Sun's territory. It appeared originally in a Boston newspaper on December 11, 1933. I trust you can find space to print it. OBERLIN GRADUATE. North Canton, O., March 18, 1935. The Letter The Oberlin centennial recalls some of Lucy Stone's curious experiences at Oberlin in the early days. She was the first Massachusetts woman to take a college degree (in 1847). Oberlin was then the only college admitting women. At the _ low wages paid to women teachers in those days, it took her nine years to save the money, to carry her out to Oberlin. When there, she earned money for her expenses partly by teaching during the vacations, and partly by doing housework in the ladies' hoarding hall at three cents an hour. Many persons afterwards famous also eked out their expenses by doing housework in the college. She wrote, long after: Future governors of the state, members of congress, generals of armies, were part of the working brigade of Oberlin. General Cox, a paper cap on his head, with apron and sleeves rolled up, made the crackers which, on Sunday morning, with crust coffee, made the breakfast. She organized the first debating society ever formed among college girls. They had to meet secretly, because public speaking by women was thought improper and contrary to Scripture. At her graduation she was appointed to write an essay to be read at commencement, but was notified that one of the professors would have to read for her. Rather than not read it herself, she refused to write it. When Oberlin celebrated its semicentennial, she was invited to be one of the speakers—the only woman on the program. JUSTICEHOLMES' WIT Jokes With Justice Day About Canton Man's Son Rufus. Special to The Sun Washington, March 20.—Congressman William R. Thorn of Canton credits the following about the appearance in the U. S. Supreme Court, of Rufus Day, formerly of Canton, and a son of the lato Associate Supreme Court Justice William R. Day. "It was a quiet day in the Supreme Court," said Ludlow. "Rufus Day, a splendid-looking young lawyer of Canton, Ohio, arose in the well of the court to make an oral argument. Rufus occupied about all of the available space, being a man of very large proportions. Sitting among- the black- robed justices on the bench before him was his own father, Justice William R. Day. He was a great statesman, lawyer and jurist, hut a small man physically compared with his son. When Rufus Day rose to speak Justice Holmes, whose seat on the bench was by the side of Justice Day, leaned over and said to Justice Day in a voice which he purposely intended should be heard all over the court room: "Why, he's a block off the old chip, ain't he?"

The present is bad enough. We dislike to think of the possibilities of the future. We,Need Planes THERE are many who believe the next war will be one of gas, showered broadside upon combatants and non-combatants alike, killing men, women and children by the wholesale. That gas will come from enemy planes in the air, and wc have not sufficient air force to prevent it. The thought is enough tu dismay even the most courageous heart. We of America are a peace-loving people, opposed to war. But it is suicidal for us to allow that opposition to lead us into a crippled, condition that is sure to bring on an attack by a more powerful nation when war does come. A dog cannot fight without teeth. A nation cannot defend itself without an army, a navy and an adequate air force. o Make It Fifty-Fifty THE SUN can not remember tlie time when the tiller of the soil or the raiser of stock was given the- consideration that is his due. We of the small towns and the countryside know that our cousins in the great cities must live, but can as much be said of those who live in the great centers of population? Can we truly say that they give even a passing thought to the plight of the man of the soil ? We would not charge our city friends with being more than ordin- BMojJE7¥7riiL by mm CLUB This Year It Will Be Served By Ladies of St. Paul's.

Meeting On Monday Monday night the program was in charge of Mrs. W. B. Evans of Hower street and she was complimented for her arrangement of the evening's entertainment. The numbers were: Two numbers on the xylophone, Opal Smith, accompanied by Helen Rohr. Mrs. Spohn sang three numbers, accompanied by Miss Smith. The two youngest children of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Rohrer sang two numbers, accompanied by Mrs. W. B. Evans. Miss Lavonne Gougler played a lively Spanish dance number accompanied by Martha McDowell. Readings By Mrs. Boli Mrs. Fred Boli gave readings of her own composition in dialect, Irish and Dutch. Her last number was an impersonation of the radio Goldberg program with her own composition, "The Community Tree."

Their horizon is the city limits. Their planning is for self. The lower the price of the cotton and farm products the better it suits them. The ability of tlle farmer to live and support his family on the prices city people pay does not enter the question. People in cities want the maximum for what they do. They want the products of the farm or the ranches or the cotton fields for the minimum of cost. | But perhaps it's just human nature, j Every dog wants tlie biggest and juiciest bones.

Craziest of All GATHER around, children, and hear a nice little bed-time story. Once upon a time a man died who had done some very good things and also some bad ones. The editor didn't know whether he ascended to heaven or descended to the other place, so he just left the defunct one poised betwixt and between. Relatives of the departed were indignant that the editor had not consigned him to the realm of saints. His victims in shady deals were emphatic that he was roasting in the hot place and censured the poor editor because he didn't tell the plain truth. And people who didn't care a rap where he went accused the distracted newsman of attempting to court the favor of both sides by straddling the fence that begins in heaven and ends in hell. Which just about proves that most people on this earth are crazy, and that newspaper editors are the craziest of all for engaging in such a business.
