Yes dear reader, the rent hog con-
tinues to flourish and is growing fast.
No there is no way to reach him or
stop him. The only way to beat him
to it, it seems, is to get little shack
of your own and let him keep his house
Go into it if it is only for two rooms.

IF our electric light and power plant
is paying proposition, and it surely
is if the report submitted to the Citi-
zens Boosters Club by the clubs Com
mittee on last Monday night counts
for anything, it would CO tainIg seem
that it would be a good thing for
Hamilton to enlarge it % a greater
extent and go into the business of
supplying electric current for all
purposes on a large scale Again
The Press would like to call attention
of the committee appointed by Mayor
Smith to investigate and make some
recommendation for the plants future,
to the possibilities of the water pow
er available in Hamilton's vicinity.
Henry Ford came here and saw the
chance for developing enormous pow
er through our splendid waterways
and decided to locate one of his big
plants here because of the water pow
er to be obtained Now if this power
is good thing for Mr. Ford, or
anyone else, why wouldn't it be a good
thing for Hamilton to take advantage
of its own natural resources ? Let's
try it, let's go into it. There would
Mt be any harm at least for the COM
mittee to give this subject thorough
investigation Isn't the committee
about ready to report on this all I'M
portant subject?

One happy result of the war, it is
fervently hoped, will be the casting
aside by both capital and labor Of
bludgeons hitherto brandished over
each Others heads. That cave mar
performance is out Of date. Frank
conferences and just dealing hence
forth should be the order of the day

1t looks right now as though there
is going to be a job open soon fol
Brandon MilHkin. He might just a:
well begin packing his tools at once
A few years back he went down anC
put the plant in excellent shape anc
on paying basis after it was com
pletely wrecked but his work doesn't
seem to have taught those a lessor
who are again in charge and are fast
driving the plant back to where il
was previous to the time that Mr. Mil
ikin took hold and placed it on its
feet. The same old labor fighting
crowd is back on the job, picking the
same quarrels that it seems to delight
in-that is fighting labor that it is
plain that it will soon mean that :
man of Brandon Millikin's ability vii
again be needed to pull the plant out
of the mire More is the pity too
Here is plant that should be one o1
the best in the country, in the pink o.
condition, but fast being driven &

If hunger makes bolshevists, anC
that theory is given out by some
prominent authorities, it is a matter
of common arithmetic to figure how
long it will take for bolsheyism K
sweep this country, if wages are re
duced and the cost to live keeps Sor
