Their own homes are
as dear and as import
ant to them as any
others. They are busily
occupied in selecting
and furnishing houses
and apartments in
Philadelphia and the
nearby towns.
nNE word of advice,
~ based on expert

to give these makers of
new homes in this part
of the country:
Don't be too tenpor-
ary in your furnish
ing!
In her bright Book
of Remembrance" the
late Mrs. E. D. Gillespie,
of Philadelphia, tells of
a family servant who
once reported that on
account of a shortage
of raisins she could not
bake the regulation
Saturday plum-cake.
Later on she brought
in something and said,
81 have baked a tempor-
ary cake"
The offering proved
to be merely a smaller
and less "plummy" cake
than usual.
This incident came
to mind the other day
when a couple, the hus-
band a war worker,
came in to look at fur
niture, and said: 1--WE
only want to furnish in
a temporary fashion"
How long one keeps
ones furniture and how
much money one spends
on furniture are mat
ters for personal decis-
ion. But spending your
money on poor furni-
ture is ineffciency.
1t can't be done here,
for we don't keep the
kind of furniture that
is a good riddance as
soon as one gets a bit
money.

Their response has

We feel that their

People speak con-

1t is all the easier to
extend this welcome,
when we know that be-

and long after, which
is the truer test.
To be welcomed to a

British workers, he asserted, be-
lieved chat if the war aims given
out in December had been given out
last May, there would have been a
good chance that the Provisional Gov
ernment under Kerensky would not
have gone down, or the cave-in of the
Russian front resulted.
"The workers are for an unimperial-
istic peace. This is back of the re-
cent pronouncement of labor's war
aims and the pressure on Lloyd
George. They demand that the Gov
ernment commit itself unreservedly to
such a policy and for that part they
are for backing up the war SO long
as Germany fails to meet the allies
on that footing.
'They are for the participation of
the people in foreign affairs. They

JURY GOES
THE LIMIT
In Alleged Rioters Case. All Con-
viCted But Two.

one count. To one who heard the
evidence it is inconceivable how body
of twelve men could come to the con-
clusion reached by the jury, especially
in the cases of the girls against whom
there was no evidence and whom even
the attorneys for the prosecution
seemed to ignore.
Laying aside the question of hon
esty, many people seemed to think
that that demand on the part of a
few persons that its time some one
is made an example Of" did much
to influence the jury in their finding.
The defendants in this case were
prosecuted with a vindictiveness
never before displayed in the local
courts.
Beside County Prosecutor Ben
Buckley, Allen Andrews, "Dick" Shep-
herd and NJ. o, Burns assisted in the
prosecution. These men might be
considered one of the strongest legal
quartettes obtainable in Butler county.
This case started before and was
finished after the Wardlow murder
case, which was tried in the same
court, before the same Judge.
1t was noticeable and much COM
mented on that in the Wardlow case
wherein woman was charged? !? with
having gradually poured arsenic
down her husbands throat, causing
his death thereby, a crime punishable
by death, Ben Buckley was the lone
representative of the prosecution,
whereas in the riot case which is
ishable by fine or Jail sentence, the
ishable by fine or jail sentence, the
prosecution is represented by the
formidable legal quartette above re-
ferred to. One of them appeared as
the special representative of the State
of Ohio and two of them of the local
law and order league.
The State of Ohio nor the law and
order league seem so much interested
in cases involving murder as they are
in little cases of misdemeanor.
The question that is being asked
most however is, are these prosecu-
tions in the interest of law and order,
or in the interest of few people
who have long been wanting crack
at members of organized labor.
