AGAINST the Russell Sage foundation,
The young mans picture was printed
in book published by the foundation
with the legend, 1.-The toughest kid in
hell's kitchen McCue proved that he
was never arrested or charged win
delinquency in any form, and wher
his picture was taken he was tolG it
was for boys scout purposes.
In refusing a new trial fov the de-
PENDANTS Justice Ford paid his re
spects to "uplifters" and reformels
in general.
There is not a scintilla of evidence
that this boy was tough; it is wicked
libel said the court.
"That is the great trouble with
these movements. They think thai
where there is poverty there mast be
criminality AS matter OF fact IN
those humble little homes in the very
section pictured in this book will be
found more Christian piety, more de-
votion to real duty, more Of the ster-
ling qualities of humanity than will
be found in the mansions along Fifth
avenue.
These people from their great
height Of self-conscious righteousness
and superior excellence peer down on
and discuss these humble beings as
though they were so many cobble-
stones in the street, without any re-
gard at all for their feelings or their
rights in the community"

Senator Lodge, in the keynote
speech before the republican conven-
ton, said: "Therc are many more
important questions to be dealt with
than the cost Of living" That may
be all well and good with Senator
Lodge, who with his barrel should
worry about the high price of pota-
toes and pork, but the senator will
have a hard time convincing the work
ers in the shops that there are many
more important questions than the
living cost.

There are a few citizens who are Of
tie opinion that everything that be-
longs to the city belongs to them, and
they imagine that they can junk the
clty's property or sell it. We want
to inform these citizens that the mu-
ricipal plants, the parks, the city
building and equipment belongs to all
I
tie people, and not few Until a
majority of our people vote to dis
pose of the city's property, it still
remains the property Of all the people.

Before the public has valid claim
for the full recognition Of its rights on
the part of labor, it must have pre-
y.ously assumed its responsibilities
and have done its part in preventing
conditions Of labor which are not only
intolerable to labor, but which are a
menace to the stability and the well
fare of the nation itself. John P.
Frey, editor international Molders'

Somebody neglected to get busy on
the gas situation, and we are paying
the price for that neglect right now.
Somebody is trying to neglect US on
tie electric light situation, and if it
: is put over, we will pay dearly for
that also. About the next thing they
VIII want to neglect is the water
works plant

The other day Sheriff Pepper re-
moved from the Butler county Jail
four colored prisoners to the Hamilton
county jail. No reason was given the
public for their removal. Perhaps the
sheriff is afraid the same fellows who
ire after the citys electric plant will
visit the jail also; hence the removal
Of the colored prisoners.

With Vic Donehey's strength in the
rural districts and Ralph Coles rotten

One great fault we find with some
people, they are afraid to protest even
