If you ever struck a popular chord,
Mr.. Sloat, you did it when you or
dered that all those in arrears for
water, gas and electric current should
have their service cut eff unless they
pay up within forty eight hours This
is right, why should some have to pay
and others not. These same threats
and orders have been issued before,
but never enforced, but we hope they
will be lived up to this time. Go after
them, Mr.. Sloat, whole Hamilton is
back of you in this with the possible
exception of the delinquents and they
will be back Of you after you make
them toe the scratch and pay up.

1t may be that it is the headquar-

ticular faction, but say-did you ever
notice the chilliness of the atmosphere

place and wasn't considered "right?"

dence, decided to fire the board of

last week in certain quarters, but we
want to say right now that we haven't
one thing against Jake Thesis, nor do
we want to pass on his guilt or inno-
cence. He pleaded ignorance, we know
that he is ignorant and sorry that he
is-sorry that he is ignorant enough
to let himself be made goat of, which
he no doubt was. 1t was the same
bunch back of Thesis who advised
Governor Cox in his actions in send
ing special representative here to
indict the union men and women in
the alleged riot cases last summer.
For is there any one who will believe
that the little war governor didn't
first get the advice of his political al
lies in this county before acting in
that case? These fellows are poor
guessers and bum advisors, as the
governor and Thesis will well find out
before it is all over with.

We don't want to be placed in the
light of chronic cickers, but we be-
lieve that we voice the sentiment of
the whole telephone public when we
say that the service the past month,
from both companies, is absolutely
fierce and that the companies in de-
manding pay for the service rendered
are obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.

service and left no room for complaint

Of course, the charges against ia
cob Thesis are simply petty politics,
the charges against the health board
are not. Should say not Shiver the
thought.

Should say not. Of course not. Why
ask such silly question. How could
the city council tell what he vote was
going to be in the health board case
before the vote was taken? Don't be
so foolish.

While much ado has been made
about the great victory won at the
primaries of Tuesday, intimating vim
dication, yet there was much disap-
pointment among the hackers and
supporters of Jacob Thesis when the
returns begin showing the defeat of
Commissioner Luke Brannon. This
meant that the voters don't approve
of the business system maintained at
the county infrmary. Not one word
from the Journal on this point Not
on your life All was CLOSED over
and made to appear that everything
is smooth and perfectly satisfactory.
But don't you think it, 1t was a sad
blow if you understand the inside. 1t
was more important at this time to
re-elect Brannon than any other man
on the ticket but this has been kept
very quite With all that they won
much sadness and gloom pervades the
atmosphere.

vote Of confidence the democrats of
Butler County bestowed upon him.
Mr.. Gerber has only been in the county
commissioners office but few months
and it was generally felt that if there
was any mis-management or irregu-
larities in that office that he should
not be held to blame and being in
