w. b. BUSH

The subject of the photo is candi-
date for the Democmri: nomination
for the Office of County Judge of
Wolfe county.
The entry of Mr.. Bush into the
race practically sett's tne matter of
County Judge. Bill "Ish. as h. IS
familiarly known, is Il man who does
things. There is no hesitancy or
weakness in his methods. He is a man
Of strong personality and inspires the
cOnfdcnee of the people in what ever
he undertakes.
The liquor situation in Wolfe coun-
/ ty is serious one aud requires the
election Of man as county judge who
! has courage and manhood enough to
rigidly enforce the law. Some few
weeks ago as the Courier editor and
Mr.. Bush stood on the platform of the
hotel in CamptOn on county court day
and watched the streets seething with
drunk men Mr.. Bush remarked. IF
| am elected County Judge there will
be an end to this drunkenness"
1t is Il fact that requires no proof
that men who drink liquor will not
enforce the law against the selling of
liquor and the people are recognizing
that. by electing Mr.. Bush the people
of Wolfe county will put a man on
the bench who will vigorously enforce
the law against the sale of liquor. A
man who has the courage and the
brains to be terror to the violatOrs
Of THE law.
Mr.Bush is splendidly equipped
business man and under his manage
ment the finances of the county will
be well looked after. Thoroughly
honest he will require correct ac
counting of all the peoples tax mon
eys.
The good roads proposition is upper
most in the minds of the people ant
Mr.. Bush is the man upon whom tn,
the people of that county can conf
IDENTITY depend to secure for Wolfe tn,
early building of good roads.
We predict that Mr.. Bush will viii
at the August primary by big odds.

Dear sir:
A few days ago | saw in tht Courier
a suggestion that the Circuit Judge
have call court. l am surprised that
we have come to that. have more
confidence in the ability of our county
officials than to transfer to one man
the business Of Morgan county. do
not think 1t meets the vast require
ments Of our famous county. We take
great pride in Democracy and efficient
officers. Let them hold court In
every precinct and thereby give every
man and woman chance to help rid
our country of the dreadful evils with
which we are infected. That is the
surest way to catch the bOotlegger and
the moonshiner Plenty of people
know things but live too far from town
to come and divulge the secret. Let
Judge and Magistrates go to work at
once. If they had been at 1t two years
ago it would not have been a day too
soon. If one comes before the court
acknowledging he drank whisky but
found it in his office or saddle house
or by the road but did not know who
pat ii there. just let the court put the
penalty Of the boOtlegger on him. Not
the minimum but the maximum penal
ty. If this is done it will not be long
until they will quit swearing they don't
know who put it there. There are
some things would love to write, not
because the peOple does not know then
They know them. But we can stant

Demonstration FavOring
Disarmament To Be
a Big Affair
The Parade To Be Spectacular -Mu-
sic and Red Fire Leading
Features

The Committee of Arrangements,
having in charge the demonstration
in favor of disarmament, held an
other important meeting Tuesday
evening in the convention room of the
court house. The Parade Committee
made a complete report, which was
unanimously adopted. 1t is to be
made up of three groups, civic, frater-
nal and labor organizations. The
various groups will assembly at 7
p. m. and be ready to move promptly
at 7:30.
The line of march will be as follows:
Starting at First street the process
sion will move west on Church to
Third, south on Third to North Park
Place, east on North Park Place to
Second, south on Second to South
Park Place, west on South Park Place
to Third, north on Third to Main, and
west on Main to High School Auditor
ium, where the meeting will be held.
The committee wishes to have it
firmly impressed on the minds of the
organizations taking part in the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-11-04

parade to be on time, as the parade
will move promptly, and all tardy
persons will be expected to care for
themselves.
There will be band for each group,
and the famous 'SOld Guard" Drum
Corps will no doubt be in line. All
military branches connected with the
various fraternal bodies are making
great preparations for the event.
The whole line will be ablaze with
red fire, and it is expected to be the
most spectacular parade ever wit
messed on the streets of Newark.
1t is the aim of the committees who
are working night and day and will
continue to do so until the 18th of
November, to make this event long
to be remembered, and no doubt it
will go a long way toward the ac-
cumulated manifestation in favor of
limited if not complete disarmament,
which is the object to be attained.
The parade will end at the High
School Auditorium where a fine pro-
gram has been arranged by special
committee, with Victor Walk, Presi-
dent of the Newark Trades and Labor
Assembly, as chairman. There are
several prominent speakers secured
who will discuss the issue, which will
be interspersed with music by the
massed bands, also splendid quartet
has been secured which will make this
part of the demonstration worth your
while to be there.
The Committee will meet again
next Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of making final arrangements.
Let nothing interfere to keep you
from joining in this great demonstra-
ton. 1t is a great movement that is
claiming the attention of the citizens
in every state in the Union. Every
city of any consequence is preparing
for great demonstration. Let US
make Newark one of the greatest.
After the decorating committee had
expressed an urgent desire to have all
merchants and other residents in the
city to decorate profusely for this
occasion, the meeting adjourned.

WEST VA. METHODS IN TEXAS
Eviction and Intimidation Employed
in Lone Star State
(By Federated Press)

Thurber, Texas-Coal operators in
this vicinity have adopted tactics
similar to those employed in the West
Virginia fields in a vain effort to
bring the miners to "terms."
Following the refusal of the miners
here to accept a reduction of 33 1-3
per cent in wages from the present
wage schedule-which does not expire
until March 81, operators pro-
ceeded to evict the miners from COM
pany owned houses. The same pro-
cedure was reported from Strawn and
Lyra. At Thurber, however, the COM
pany owns not only the houses but
the water system and electric facil-
tiles. AS result many of the miners
and their families are living in tents,
outside the towns limit.
The mines were shut down last
April, or operated only two or three
days a week in an effort to force alb
rogation of the agreement with the
Mine Workers. Union.

Postal Clerks Bar
"SCab" Uniforms
(By Federated Press)

San Deigo, Cal-"An injury to one
is an injury to ALL" said the San
Diego Letter Carriers Union few
months ago when word came that the
Penn Garment Company of Williams
port, Pa, had joined the "open shop"
brigade, reduced wages and repudiated
their agreement with the United
Garment Workers of America.
The San Diego Labor Leader in
commenting on the action of the Car
riers, said in a recent issue:
Local letter carriers not only re-
fused to buy scab-made uniforms
from this firm, but notified all other
mail carriers locals of the attitude
of the Penn company and have de-
manded that their national officers
remove a full page advertisements of
this sweatshop from the Postal
Record, their official magazine"

CONGRESS FAVORS SURTAX
REDUCTION

Washington - Both branches of
congress have agreed to reduce the
IS per cent surtaX-or additional tax
on large incomes. The house favors
a reduction to 32 per cent, but this
has caused such a protest throughout
the country that the senate has made
the surtax so per cent.
Under the senate amendment the
surtax starts with a charge of l per
cent on annual incomes from $4,000
to $4,000. Another l per cent is
added for every additional $4,000 in
come, until the 100000 and over in
come is reached, when the surtaX will
be the maximum so per cent, instead
of 65 per cent, as provided under the
present law.
The few thousand excessively rich
individuals who will gain by this re-
duction have not lost their fight for
a greater cut in their income taxation,
for when the revenue bill goes to
conference amendments can be made
and these must be accepted by the
house and senate, or the entire rev.
enue bill must be rejected and the
long fight reopened.

WANT SCHOOLS, NOT GUN MEN

Huntington, w. Va.-Citizens of
this county are circulating petitions
calling on state officials to oust the
cossack system and use the money
for public schools and road improve
ments. The petition declares:
"On account of the number of un-
employed in our county, and because
of the long-felt need for better roads,
and in order to extend our sympathy,
and put the same into action for the
10000 or more children now deprived
of the privileges and benefits Of
school in our state, we, the under
signed, offer this as our request that
the state police be discharged from
further service in our county, and the
expense of keeping up same be used
to employ teachers and building
roads, thereby giving employment and
education to the needy. We do not
believe the services of the state police
is needed in this county"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-11-04
FAVOR RAILROAD BILL

Washington-The senate committee
on interstate commerce has made q
favorable report on the bill that would
pay the railroads $5O0,0OO,OOO anc
postpone their debts of an equal
amount to the government.
1t is claimed this legislation will
permit the railroads to buy equip
ment and give work to unemployed
At the recent unemployed conference
called by the president, President
Carter of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, suggested that the
bill be indorsed with the understand
ing that the money be used for equip,
ment. Advocates of the bill refused
to accept Endorsement under thesf
conditions. The brotherhood Official
said that if former practices of tho
railroads were followed, they woulC
use this $5O0,000,O00 to pay deferred
dividends to stockholders.
