Wild Parties in
Congressional Offices
(Bv Federated Press)

Washington-In an effort to stop
an epidemic of wild parties which
have been held with great frequency
in the house office building, which
houses members of the lower house of
congress, during the recess of con-
gress the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds has had erected
a sign in the rotunda which reads:
"Visitors Not Allowed After P. M
Policemen stationed at the entrance
of the building have been instructed
to enforce the rule strictly, with re-
sulting embarrassment to those who
have been participating in the night
revelS.
Officials in charge of the building
make no secret of the reasons which
prompted them to attempt the eXclu-
sion of visitors after 5 p. M, but de-
tails are not disclosed. 1t is reported,
however, that after one of the parties
an ambulance backed up. to the en-
trance of the building and removed
one of the participants to the hos
pital. On another occasion, a water
melon party" was held in the office
of a representative, it is reported, at
which wine, women and songs were
present in abundance.

JUST THE REVERSE HERE

Over in Toledo the Merchants and
Manufacturers association is sending
out circular letters to induce business
concerns to patronize only open or
non-union printing shops, which en-
ploy the label of the M. G M. and
every candidate for office in the COM
ing election has received a threaten
ing letter giving warning that such
candidates as use the alliel label will
be marked for defeat at the polls.
But in Newark things are entirely
different. Here both the Merchants
and the Manufacturers Association
together with the Civic organizations
work hand-in-hand with organized la
Dor, and the most cordial and har
monious relations exist between the
employer and employed. The allied
printing crafts label is universally
used on all work, many patrons espe-
cially requesting it, and practically
all stores carry union made mer-
chandise.

HOMEMADE WINE

Tt is not an exaggeration to state
that hundreds of homes have cellars
we'll stocked with homemade liquors,
and by people who would throw up
their hands in holy horror at the sug-
gestion that they are liable to arrest,
lust as much as the bootlegger and
the maker and vendor of moonshine
booze. According to the latest inter
pretation of the Volstead law, which
has been re-enforced by ruling of
the internal revenue department,
home wines containing more
than one-half of one per cent of alco-
hol come within the purview of the
statute and anyone having in his pos
session homemade wines of more
than the legal alcoholic content is
subject to arrest and prosecution un-
der the anti-prohibition laws. That
includes homemade wines made from
cherries, elderberries, dandelions and
grapes, and people who have the "joy
stuff" in their cellars had better get
rid of it at the earliest possible mo-
ment. If they do not get rid of it,
they may wake up some of these fine
mornings to find prohibition sleuths
in practiral possession of their
premises.-St. Mary's (OO Leader.

GIT PAYS"

The above is the caption of the fol-
lowing recent editorial in the The
Cleveland Federationist, whose editor
and business manager is l. Goldsmith:
"Some of our papers are wonder
ing why it is that in former years
Henry Ford had to pay for his ad-
vertising. Today when he can afford
to pay for this same advertising he
is getting it for nothing. This is the
sure truth. But why is he getting
this advertising for nothing? Who
made the world sit up and take no
tice of Henry Ford? If Henry Ford
should become president who turned
the trick? Nobody but this same
Henry Ford.
Henry Ford has nobody but him
self to thank for his success in the
world. Although Henry Ford has
done some things in which we think
he has made a mistake, we still adj
mire Henry Ford for his honest con-
victions. Henry Ford is a man whom
nobody can bluff. He is what we call
the self-made, honest American. The
best evidence Of how person stands
is to investigate his standing with his
home folks or with his business asso-
ciates. These are his best critics.
The manner of the treatment he ac-
cords his business associates is surely
the best evidence and no doubt the
right evidence of the mans character.
"Let person get a reputation for
honesty and integrity in his immedi-
ate neighborhood and you can bet
dollars to doughnuts that this person
will use the same tonic outside Of his
own neighborhood.
Henry Ford was the first employer
that said he wanted minimum wage
for his men, He made $500 a day the
minimum wage, he started it. He
has stuck to it and today he is reaping
the harvest of his honesty. He wanted
to do what was right with his en-
ployes and he has ever kept and no
doubt will keep this principle. Some
of our papers published that it was
only for advertising effect. We
agreed with them. Hadn't Henry Ford
been sincere in this principle it would
have been only for advertising effect,
but Henry Ford is one those men that
practices what he breaches. Henry
Ford is no fourfusher. Henry Ford
is one of the style of business men
that would make a success of any
thing he took hold of. He is a man
that can be trusted Henry Ford does
not look at the almighty dollar. He
has principle. He has showed it many
times. Henry Ford is loved by his
neighbors, by his business associates,
by his employees, not through adver-
tising but by his method of doing bus
Mess with this same class. They are
the tellers of his character. They are
the best advertising medium. They
don't lie for anybody. 1t is the old
saving, as you do to others, others
will do unto you. Everything reacts
in the same way as you act.
'If Henry Ford is getting good ad-
vertising and getting it for nothing
Henry Ford has nobody but Henry
Ford to blame for it"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-09-21
THE INEQUALITY OF THE LAW

Even-handed justice alone will
solve the problem of good govern
ment. Not until every man knows
that he stands before the law with
equal rights to every other man will
there be universal respect for law.
Fear of the law is slight deterrent
to crime No matter how our legis-
latures increase the punishment for
criminal offenses, the increase of Of
tenders continues, and will continue
so long as the guilty are freed by
favor, or the innocent condemned by
prejudice. The spasmodic attempts
of our officers and courts to crush
out crime by ruthless prosecutions in
which the presumption of innocence
is cast aside and the safeguards of
innocence are ignored always react
when the spasm subsidies. Contempt
for the law is mainly caused by freak
and oppressive legislation and unjust
judgments without adequate relief
by careful revision.

BUCKET SHOP CLEAN UP

Criminal proceedings disclose that
millions of dollars have been swept
into bucket shops and brokers' offices
by credulous people in every section
of the country.
These offices have been often main
tanned by vicious characters, who Sc
cured the secret backing Of so-called
respectable citizens. The crooks were
interlocked with bankers, politicians
and business men in such devious
ways that no court procedure has yet
untangled them.
The public's losses are estimated
from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000.
These vast amounts were furnished
by people who were lured by the
fairy tales of riches in oil stocks and
all manner of industrial wild cat
schemes.
1t is believed that not per cent of
the money taken from the public will
be restored to them.

UNIONS ARE AMERICANIZING

In a Labor Day speech in Pueblo,
Col, United States Senator Adams
declared that organized labor is the
greatest Americanizing force in this
country.
"No other thing can compare with
it in raising the standard of the peo-
ple," he said. "There is no use to
talk .Americanization to a man with
hungry children"
The speaker favored rigid restric-
tion of immigration. CHARITY begins
at home," he said. "Let's shut the
gates. The fellow who cries that we
should let foreigners in because they
will make cheap labor needs to be
Americanized. And it makes no diff
ference whether it is Judge Gary or
any one else who says this.
81 have a different idea about Amer
icanization than many persons" said
Senator Adams. eve have distin-
guished men going among the for
eigners of this country, bribing them
for votes. They need to be Amer
icanized.
"Those who place children in fac
tories and deprive them of school and
play need to be Americanized.
"The men who stayed at home while
our boys were fighting overseas, and
who were coming money out of then
blood need to be Americanized."
