sent to him little II anything he had
not previously known from his own
study Of the statutes and the situa.
tion and attending conditions. He
was told, and 1t Is not news to him

peculiar to this community alone Ev.
cry municipality in the state, large

passed by the legislature and had
been signed by Governor Davis on
February "a. 1t was passed as an
emergency measure and not being
subject to referendum is now in force
and action may be taken at any time

in substance. the Taft law permits mu.

Dear Sir--Mount Vernon is beau.
tiful little city which Is spoken Of as
one Of Ohio's garden spots. 1t is also
called the city Of churches because Of
the numerous houses of worship
which nestle within her borders and
one would naturally suppose, with
such an inducement as this, the
hearts Of her people would be filed
with the spirit Of true christian chart.
ty. but from the viewpoint Of one who
can see little beyond the surface Of
things that be, we can say in all
truth, that now, as in days gone by,
the above mentioned spirit has been
woefully lacking. ;
One reason for this is the feet that
our citizens are not in perfect ac-
cord with one another. Harmony and
unity Of purpose are not in evidence
anywhere in our midst and coopera-
tion is an unknown, quantity because
it is used only among factions and
not by all. &
There is division between the
classes and the masses which is to be
deplored, because it serves as q block
to the wheels of progress. and holds
back the prosperity which should be
ours. '-.e .a sh
Our merchants are banded together
for the purpose of bettering condi.
tions that now exist, to work together,
in an honest endeavor, for the good
Of the community as whole and to
make the city a desirable place for
other business men to locate.
While their effort along this line is
to be commended, still, they are open
to- criticism for the one sided manner
In which their affairs are conducted
and in which none but the more for.
tunate are allowed to participate, also
for their utter disregard to the wish.
es of the rank and file.
Working men have souls which rad.
late with hope and happiness. They
have aspirations and ideals the same
as other human beings and many of
them are big, capable. high minded
men. They have natural distrust
OF the other fellow because he has
never given them cause to think 9th.
erwise and this feeling will not be
overcome until both meet on COM
mon footing and agree to combina.
ton of forces.
What is needed most right at the
present moment, is a man with q vi.
sion broad enough to cover this entire
Held; one who is capable of uniting
the opposing factions thereby causing
them to work together as solid unit
for the common good Of all.
When this is accomplished then,
indeed, will our difficulties be at an
end. Financial and civic problems
will be solved SO easily as to aston.

will blossom forth in all her pride

MT. vERNDN'S FIRST
AUTO SHOW IS NEAR
Coming Week Brings Exhibit
OF Makes OF Motor Cars

Chief upon the program for next
week is the Mt, Vernon automobile
show, which opens Wednesday after.
noon, March 8, and continues through
Saturday evening, March II. 1t will
be held In the new garage OF Sapp
Bros. & Co., on West Ohio avenue.
Members OF the club promoting the
show now have worked out quite def
initely their plans for putting on the
exhibition. A large amount Of deco.
rations has been received from Gin
cinnati and as fact as may be possible
will be put up. Every effort will be
made to have the exposition building
in readiness for the opening after
noon. Particular effort will be made
to make the best possible use of the
space that the effect may be complete.
ly pleasing and satisfying.
Weather conditions permitting, a
large attendance at the show Is looked
for While this Is the first show of
the kind ever held In Mt. Vernon,
many other places have found them
valuable stimulants to the automobile
business. In the large cities they
have come to be strong rivals in in.
terest with the horse shows. The Mt.
Vernon show, of necessity, will be- a
very modest affair compared with the
pretentious efforts of New York and
Chicago and other places, but 1t viii
not be- found lacking in its interest
and benefit. e.
Arrangements have been made by
the promoters to admit all school
children free on Wednesday after
noon, the first day of the show.
Thus far, the entries show total
of 80 cars of the pleasure type, repre-
senting Is well konwn standard and
nationally advertised makes. Repre-
sentatives of the local agencies will
be present to explain fully the claims
made for the several cars.
AS already has been announced, pro
grams of music will bo provided for
each afternoon and evening. The mu'
sic committee. of which John M.
Woolison Is the chairman, has en-.
gagged the X. of p. band and the Elks

tertainment.
