by enarging the yentilating hole with

worthy ianitor whom we believe the
commissioners overlooked Down in
the Butler county soldiers, sailors
and pioneers monument at the foot
Of High street, there tolls each day in
the week, each day in the month and
each day in the year, Jacob Jackson,
a veteran Of the civil war His duties
are to get on the job early, keep the
fire going to keep the building warm,
clean the furniture, wash the win
dows and all of the marble walls that
contain thousands Of names of our
heroes in several wars. He also mops
the floors, furnishes his own soap and
towels and then takes the towels to
his home and brings them back laun-
dried. Besides all this, Mr. Jackson
receives all visitors to the monument
and explains in detail everything per-
tanning to the building and its be-
longings, relics, etc There is one
thing that this veteran does not tell
the visitors when they come to the
building. He does not tell them how
much salary the county Of Butler
pays him for all his labor If he were
to tell them, and tell them the truth,
he would have to tell them that he
receives 81 per day. He works every
day in the year, including Sundays
and holidays, and a whole year having
365 days, he receives a grand total
Of 1866 per year. We are told that
lie has at different times requested the
county commissioners to increase his
salary, but the commissioners have
up to this time passed him up Now
we believe that Jackson lives like any
other respectable citizen, and wants to
eat good food and wear good clothes,
but it is a mystery to US how he can
+ do it on 81 per day We believe when
the commissioners gave the court
house janitors the increase, they over
looked the veteran janitor down in the
monument. If the county commits
sioners decide at their next meeting
to increase his salary, say to about
/ the same amount they gave the rest
it will be a twenty-five per cent I'M
crease; OF, if the county cannot afford
to give this increase, perhaps it can
ait least pay for the soap and laundry
necessary to keep the institution
, clean Jacob Jackson is not a member
Of q labor union, but he is still a Union
soldier and deserving Of more pay
than be is getting We should not
neglect the soldier boys, especially
those Of the COS.

ize bond election for the purpose of
issuing S150,000 in bonds to enlarge
the Lane free library. However, sew
eral members of council demanded to
know just what use the money was to
be put before they would vote for
the project. Council is right in this
S150,000 is quite bit of money, and
simply because some one comes along
and says we need so much and so
much money is no reason why the city
council should Immediately vote the
necessary legislation to secure it
without some enlightenment as to
just where the money is going to. On
the other hand, it is to be hoped that
this matter will not be delayed a min
ute longer than is necessary. The
condition Of the library is a positive
disgrace and one that Hamilton can
well be ashamed of And when coun-
ell does get the information it seeks,
it is further hoped that it win not
prove stingy in this case. 1t must be
remembered that $l5o,OOo today will
build just about what $4,000 would
have built five years ago, and at the
rate prices are going up in three years
from now $150,oOO will build just
about what $4,000 would have built
five years ago. So get busy.

SOMETHING WRONG

In New York there is a man, George
c. Kelly by name, with whom there is
evidently something wrong Al least
he is beyond understanding. He is
owner of a seven-family apartment
house and is the one lone landlord
on record up to this date who has not
raised rents. He not only has not
raised rents, but absolutely refused 10
do it even though requested to do ty
his tenants. Recently the tenants
held meeting and voted to increase
their rents Voluntarily When Kelly

BOYS AND THE POOL ROOMS

been the talk about town that boys
IA and Is years of age have been per
mitted to gamble, shoot craps, shake
dice and play pool for money and hang
around till midnight. This is dis
grace and should not be permitted.
This doesn't hold good in all pool
rooms; some of them are conducted
as clean as any other business, but
there are some of the unscrupulous
pool room propretors who allow the
boys of tender age to get any kind Of
game they desire Just last week a
prominent business man took his son
Of IS years, and who has been per-
mitted to gamble in these places, to
all pool rooms and cigar stores where
gambling is permitted, and instructed
the proprietors never to permit the
boy to enter their places if they wish
ed to avoid prosecution Such things
should not have to be. Clean up the
bad places, Mr.. Grevey.

GAS QUESTION SERIOUS

That the gas question in Hamilton
is not only becoming a serious one but
IS a serious one is beyond all need Of
comment. The fact Is too wen known.
During the past winter many who de
pend upon gas for heating have been
more than uncomfortable, and during
the past ten days cooking was a prob
lem and many had to dig out the oil
lamps and candles to see by
It seems to The Press that here IS
another great and important problem
for the city authorities to wrestle
with The question Of securing more
gas or making it should be taken up
at once, We might just as well take
matters as they are. The old saying
is, when you stand still YOU 20 back
wards. And So it is with the gas Sit
uation. It will never get better, so
that it is a cinch that it win get
worse. With more consumers between
Hamilton and the Virginia gas fields
and the gas reported as petering out,
it won't be long until we don't get
any. If we don't get any other relief
before next fall, the use Of gas should
be strictly restricted to the use Of
lighting and cooking. But anyway,
lets not wait until the. gas company
says mo more gas"
A big, serious problem, Mayor
Smith, and we know that you are
overcrowded with burdens, but here
is one that surely needs immediate
attention
