San Francisco.-The recent ruling

in the opinion of Attorney General
Webb The states alien law is now
before the court for Interpretation.
"By the provisions of our alien law
the ownership of land in this state is
prohibited to those persons ineligible
to citizenship" he said. The Japan
ese have contended that they, in real
ity, are eligible to citizenship in the
United States and that, therefore,
they could acquire land here legally.
BY the supreme court holding as it
did, the California alien land law is
supported in it's main provisions.

OUR NEW OFFICIALS

With the coming of the new year
came new prosecuting attorney for
Butler county He is Peter Paul Boil.
He is a republican, but Pete can't
help that-he was born that way.
We once heard colored gentleman
say that "a white man is just as good
as colored man as long as he be-
haves himself" and so it is with
many republicans-they are just as
good as democrats and socialists as
long as they behave themselves and
conduct the office to which they are
elected in a clean and conscientious
manner. The Press merely mentions
this to show that there is no partial
ity on its part, politically, and-judg-
ing from the number of votes that
Pete got there wasn't any on the part
of any one else-he got nearly all
that was cast, and for the further rea-
son that the republicans holding office
in the county court house are of such
rarity as to be deserving of special
mention. And Pete is one of the good
republicans. He is good in every
way-honest as the day is long and
gifted with the ability to make a
good legal representative for the
county, and which same ability the
taxpayers of the county can be as
sured they will be given of in this
department during the next two years.
About the same time that the new
prosecutor entered upon his duties,
Butler county's new representative to
the states legislature entered upon
his duties at Columbus. He is David
H. DeArmond There is no use talk
ing about it the county is to be con-
graduated upon its selection of a rep
resentative in the states council.

of energy and desire to make good

tions goes beyond the hours and wage
questions, and establishes, through
joint legislation, the shop rules and
regulations as we'll. During the re-
cent depression reduction in wages
had been mutually agreed to.
At the annual conference between
the two associations the latter part of
December, an agreement was entered
into which established an advance in
wages of 16 2-10 per cent for piece
workers in the stove and heater in
dustry. A universal minimum of
$3.50 per day was established for day
workers. In connection with this it
was agreed that wherever the other
branches of the trade established a
higher minimum in the district, this
would automatically apply in stove
and heater foundries. In addition all
day workers receiving over $500 per
day at the present time are to be ad-
vanced so cents per day.
For years there has been ques-
tion over who should stand the loss
when castings were defective due to
dull or alleged dirty iron. In the
future no molder will have any work
discounted against him when the
quality of the iron is in any way
responsible for defective castings.
This agreemnt, affecting thousands
of molders from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, is not only an evidence
that agreements of this character are
of great value, but it also proves that
trade conditions are improving ma

About the same time, Sheriff Rudy
Laubach and DR.. Edward Cook, coroner
entered upon new terms in their re-
spective offices, Sheriff Laubach for
the second term and Coroner Cook for
the fourth term Both of these men
made splendid officials in the past
and the people of Butler county know
it-judging from the splendid votes
of confidence both received in the
late election.

RING THE BELLS

Attention of the Press has been
called to the many narrow escapes of
the people and autos whenever there
is fire calling out the departments.
1t has been suggested that there be
a longer ringing of the bells warning
pedestrians and people in autos to
get in the clear. Third street and the
corner of High and Third are espe-
cially dangerous at times when the
hose truck and big ladder truck come
flying up Third street. This street is
narrow and usually crowded with
autos, together with the Millcreek
Valley car parked near High street,
makes it almost impossible for the
fire trucks to get through without hit
ting something. This article doesn't
infer that the fire boys are negligent,
they are not-they are on the job,
but say, boys, try to figure it out
for the safety of the people, for the
autos; make a racket, ring the bells,
blow the horn, twist the handle off
the siren, let 'em know you are COM
ing, then if anyone fails to heed and
gets hurt you will at least know YOU
