LUTHER ALLISON PLANS.
TO OPERATE FARM
Notwithstanding Loss Of Home
Crop Plans For Year To Go
Forward Rapidly

Notwithstanding the complete loss
Of his home early Monday morning
by fire, Luther Allison has made the
statement that he will continue to
operate his fine farm two miles of
Americas, although no arrangements
have been made for housing himself
and family.
In an interview today with a
Times-Recorder reporter, Allison
stated that it is his belief that the
house was burned through the ex-
plosion of an oil stove in the kitch-
en-. He and his young son had plan
ned to go coon hunting that morn
ing, and had risen early to prepare
coffee and a light breakfast. This
over, they were on their way across
the fields when the lad told his faith
er that he smelled smoke, and look
ing back they discovered the kitch-
en- end Of the house in a light blaze.
Mrs. Allison who was i'll in bed
with influenza, has been removed to
the home of her mother, Mrs. J. j.
Wilson, near Leslie, and will remain
there until some other arrangement
can be made.
Insurance carried on the home
amounted to $1,000, while the house
was valued at $4,000, and will prob
ably be rebuilt as soon as plans can
be made.

JUDGE SIDES WITH PRESS

A wise and upright judge in Buffalo
refuses to cite certain editors before
his honor, the mayor, to explain why
they have criticised vice conditions.
He says: 81 am thoroughly impressed
with the view that it would be un-
wise to heckle and annoy the press"
If the mayor or anybody else in Buff
falo has been libeled by the news
papers of that town the aggrieved
party has cause of action. He can ap-
peal to the courts and if he establishes
his case he can collect damages. More
over, he can appear before any local
grand jury and press charge of
criminal libel.
Speaking broadly, the press should
be permitted to go farther in criticism
of public officials than in criticism of
private individuals. Jefferson thought
so. He regarded criticism as health
full, as proper Interpretation of the
slogan that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty"
And yet skinned officials, fire.
quently caught in the act, are first
to invoke legal measures against
journals that jot down their indis-
cretions. All thin-skinned officials
are not crooks, but we never have
known a political buccaneer, a crook
feasting at the public crib, who was
not an enemy of the press and glib in
it's denunciation.

ISSUE AGAIN SIDESTEPPED

The honorable city council again
passed the buck Monday night when
the much discussed shooting episode
for which a couple of city policemen
are now under heavy bond for their
appearance before the next grand
jury was brought up. A member of
the Safety Committee stated that a
majority of the people were of the
opinion that council should investi-
gate, but that an able attorney
claimed that inasmuch as the city
council was a legislative and not an
executive body it had no power or
authority in the case, and that there
fore an official investigation was i'm
possible, and that the settlement of
the question lay wholly within the
province of the civil service commits
sion. This statement was concurred
in by the presiding officer and the
matter ended without further argu-
ment.

Demand For Labor
On the Decline

Albany, N. Y.-June reports from
state employment offices and manu-
facturers indicate that the increase in
the demand for labor has been check
ed, says State Industrial Commits
sioner Shientag. He says "a very
satisfactory condition of employment
prevails in this state, but there is a
sufficient supply to maintain the de-
sired production except in few
lines"
Employment office reports indicate
a very good balance between the la
Dor supply and demand in skilled
trades. The chief shortage is in COM
mon labor, but in one district it was
reported that the untitled demand was
largely from employers who would
not pay the prevailing rate of wages"

HE SAID A MOUTHFUL

When one of our city dads came
right out in meeting Monday night
and said the people were clamoring
for an investigation of the serious
charges against two members of the
city police force, he was but stating
an actual fact. The public believes
in justice and fair play-if these men
are innocent of the charges alleged
against them, they should be exoner-
ated; if guilty they should suffer the
penalty. AS the matter now stands
they are permitted to act as guardians
and enforcers of law and order while
at the same time criminal charge OF
serious magnitude hangs over their
heads.

Sugar PrOfiteers
Get Big Rake Off

New York-As result of high
prices the profiteers are getting 100
per cent rake off. Profits of the Gu
ban-American Sugar Co., one of the
largest corporations owning sugar
plantations in Cuba, are expected to
amount to $40 a share
In order to conceal future profits
the par value of its stock was changed
from 500 to $40, in 1920, each
holder ~of common stock getting ten
shares in exchange for one share Of
the old stock. This years sugar
prices, which have hit the wage earn
er's budget so hard, will therefore
mean 100 per cent profits to the
profiteering class.

GOT ALL HE CAN DO AT HOME

Everybody who knows how honest
ly and efficiently Sheriff "Fritz" Vo-
gelmeier has performed his duties
since he assumed his office, will agree
with him in the belief that he has
about all he can do in his own baili-
wick without cleaning up fMr. j. w.
Grubbs' place., about which the gov
ernor recently complained and ordered
him to look after, especially as the
aforesaid "place" happens to be about
five miles over the line, and in Frank
linn county too. The sheriff keeps
things as straight as string IN
Licking county but does not consider
it his duty to hunt trouble in out
lying territory.

bread and butter, he would be much
better prepared to enjoy the milk
and honey while on earth, and if he
lived an honest, straight life his
spiritual happiness in the world to
come would be taken care OF by the
all-wise creator to whom he owes his
existence. He don't believe constant

COULD NOT COUNCIL DO THIS?

The question has been asked that
if the city council really and truly
desired the cloud hanging over the
reputation of the two patrolmen un-
der bond for shooting with intent to
kill, to be cleared away, why don't
that honorable body, while unable to
order their suspension pending an in
vestigation, pass a resolution asking
the Civil Service Commission to take
the case up and sift it thoroughly
without fear or favor? This is what
the people want, and they believe they
are right in their demand for an in
vestigation. 1t is alleged that other
happenings in the Safety Depart
ment would excite considerable COM
ment should the searchlight of pub
licity be turned upon them.

strong for dereliction of duty and

health commissioner has sent an ap-
