Dear Editor:
I have a 1909 Ford car which is in
good condition except that part of
the radiator and one of the wheels is
missing. The tires, are all pretty
good. and it don't use very much gas
but on a cold morning l have quite a
lot Of trouble starting it. This is
partly due to the fact that 1t has no
crank handle, and as l have just spent
50 cents to have my valves ground,
don't want to spent the money for a
new crank How can I start my car
in the morning without it

in MEMORY

The death angel has again made its
call in our community. On Wednes
day morning about six o'clock. Novem
Der 16, it made its call to the home OF
Mr. Arnold Bowe and claimed for its
victim his loving wife, Lille May
Bowe. She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Ratcliff, of whom
both preceded her to the great beyond.
Lille was born June IA, 1903, mar
ried to Arnold Bowe June 10, 1919. and
departed this life November 49, 1921
Her age being Is years, months and
2 days She had been in poor health
for several months and had been con-
fined to her bed about one month. Her
dsath was caused by that dreadful dis
ease tuberculosis. Lille was convert
ed at Smoky Valley about 9 months
ago and has lived a true christian ever
since She told her friends she was
ready to die, but death was not ex-
pected so soon. Her many friends Wis
tied her during her sickness and at
her death they mourned their loss
which was heavens gain
Lille is not dead, only asleep. Her
suffering is DER and she has gone to
that sweet home which God has pre-
pared for us all If we trust Him as
Lille did She can not come back TO
us but let US all prepare to meet her
in that sweet bye and bye where part :
ing comes no more, but all is peace
and happiness.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home on Thursday at 1880 in the
afternoon by Rev. Lindsey Cyrus and
later the remains were laid to rest in

ing the things we would advise others
to do-that's different-we don't find
it so easy to accomplish those things.
There is no question but that the
Good Government League is in posi-
tion to GO much good for the welfare
of the city. And we are ready to be-
lieve that there are many sincere
and earnest members of the league.
But good can not come alone from
merely criticizing those whom we be-
lieve are at least trying to do things.
The league disclaims any charges that
it is trying to take hand in things
politically, but Judging from the
events of the meeting of Sunday it
would appear that some people might
be prepared to take advantage of
some things for political purpose
So long as the league stays in the
position of an advisory body it will
be able to do much good for the city
but, just as soon as it begins to take
hand in politics, that soon the day
of its usefulness is past and it is
dead.

COUNCIL GOING TO 1T

Council is now proceeding along
the right lines for untangling or solv-
ing the electric light and power pro-
blem of the city. At the meeting
held Wednesday night, after
lengthy discussion and hearing
from Superintendent James O'Toole
on the subject, it was decided to en-
ploy an expert competent engineer
to prepare plans and specifications
for a new plant that will meet the
city's future demands. Council re-
cessed to meet tonight, at which time
it will pass the necessary legislation
authorizing the issue of bonds to
meet the cost of employing such an
engineer. The members of council
seem to be of unanimous opinion that
immediate action is necessary, and
are going to push the matter through
with no more waiting or dilly-dally
ing expert opinion or committees.
And council is right. The people are
told we need a new electric light
plant and that it would take S65O,000
to build it. The people generously
responded and voted the bonds. Near
ly fourteen months have passed since
the bonds were voted and nothing has
been done but appoint committees.
The trouble is that Hamilton seems
to be over-committeed. What we need
is less committees and more action.
True, we believe that with the
building materials as high as they
were last year and with the big drop
that has taken place in these mater
ials, a big saving was made by the
city holding off building tn e new
plant during last year, but there is
suspicion floating around, and one that
won't down, that it wasn't so much
because of the high cost of building
nor because of a desire to make

PECULIAR NATURAL LAW;

PECULIAR NATURAL LAWS
When the worker objects to re-
plains because the price of his pro-
ducts has fallen, they are assured
that certain natural" laws are oper-
ating in perfectly natural way, and
that if they are patient they will all
eventually reach "normalcy."
Apparently these natural" laws
only affect the producers. The nom
producers are above and Independent
of them.
BY way of illustrations:
The four million jobless workers
who are walking the streets of Amer
lean cities are probably losing in
wages $4OO,OOO,0OO or $5OO,OOO, 900
each month
The farmers have been compelled to
pocket loss of between five and ten
billions of dollars on last years
crops.
At the same time the newspapers
tell us that the earnings of the
Standard oil companies for the first
three months of this year have brok-
en- all records. Since the parent COM
pany was dissolved" by the supreme
court ten years ago, because it fla
grantly violated the antitrust law,
this group of companies has paid the
fortunate stockholders more than
$8OO,OOO,O0
Then the United States steel corpor-
alton comes forward with a statement
that its net earnings in 1920 amounted
to $109,694,2 ,227, an increase of 43 per
cent over 1919.
There is something fundamentally
wrong with an economic system that
produces such results, and no amount
of patter about "normaicy" or "na-
tural" laws can blind the producer
to that fact.

GARY AND LABOR UNIONS

That Judge Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United
States steel corporation, should at an
annual meeting of stockholders of the
corporation express himself as oppos-
ed to labor unions occasions no sur
prise. The judge has ever been
against labor organizations. He is
opposed to collective bargaining with
the men having the right to choose
their own representatives and declares
for the so-called American or open
shop
The need for organizations of labor
no longer exists, he declares. and
adds that those leading the movement
to organize workmen are really only
engaged in advancing their own sell
fish interests against employers. en-
ployes and the public. 1t is all yerv
well for Judge Gary to declare there
is no longer need for labor unions
1t must be admitted that generally
speaking those industries strongly
unionized are better paid and have
working conditions than those not
unionized. We have but to refer to
the railroads in proof of this. The
operating branches of our railroads
enjoyed far better conditions and
were better paid than other branches
poorly organized or not organized at
all.

Judge Gary's declaration in opposi-
ton to unions is looked upon as
throwing down the gauntlet to the
American Federation of Labor, which
only few days ago announced it's
intention of conducting an intensive
campaign to organize steel workers
throughout the country.
