IF CHRIST SHOULD COME


If Christ should come on earth to-
day and attempt to again preside at
the Last Supper, He would be arrest
ed by dry agents for drinking wine,
and offering it to others to drink
He would be fined $1,000 for violat-
ing the Volstead act and, probably
would be thrown into jail.
If Christ should come on earth
today and fail to enlist the aid of
the state and national legislatures
and the local police department be-
fore preaching the gospel He would
be regarded as hopelessly old-fash-
ioned
If Christ should come on earth to-
day and go among male and female
sinners, as He did in the long ago
He would be looked upon with sus.
picon and Stunned by both modern.
lists and fundamentalists. That is
unless He was seeking evidence tC
be used in bringing about convic.
ton after a raid.
If Christ should come on eartf
today and preach the doctrine Of
''love try neighbor as thyself," HI
would be branded as disloyal ane
probably would be waited upon by al
indignant delegation from the Kl
Klux Khan
If Christ should come on earth to
day and fail to start some new fat
He could not hope for following
The front page of the newspaper, th
policeman's club, the spy who work

regarded as necessary aids in inject
ing morality and a conviction of sil
| into the hearts of modern men.
The ways of the lowly Nazarin
Carpenter, the preaching of faith, an
love, and hope, and charity-all thes
are terribly out of date. Moderl
methods are so much more interest
ing-and sensational.-Ex.

ASK THE WORKERS

And they informed US before elec-
tion that prosperity was in sight if
the workers and the farmers kept cool
with Coolidge. Ask some of the work
ingmen who have been laid off since
the election if they think so.

Some of our factories are distribut-
ing their Christmas present to their
employees early. Many of them are
being laid off.

BETTER A COLLECTOR

What we need more than an expert
to come to Hamilton and advise us
how we MIGHT get money to con-
tinue our police and fire departments
is some expert to come here and GET
the money for US. That was wonder
full advice that we go before the state
legislature and get through special
legislation to issue $150,000 worth of
bonds. Such advice is like a physi-
clan telling patient, and who is a
common laborer, to travel for a year
or two in Southern Europe in order
to regain his health. Both have an
equal chance. We still say that the
Chamber of Commerce will have tC
eventually dig up the change. And
to its credit, we must say, that body
is still ready to act, although the big
guns in the city administration don't
like to admit that the job is toe
big for them, and they hate to hano
it over to the Chamber of Commerce

Being hard pressed for items, l
glanced over the columns of two or
three daily newspapers. Out in Okla
homa minister eloped with a ID
year-old choir singer, and performed
the marriage ceremony, thus saving
giving another any fee. Now the min
lister is in Jail and his child-bride
mourns for the lack of manhood in
her pseudo preacher-husband

Ohio came to the front with three
alleged followers Of the gospel. One
minister annexed another mans wife,
another ran against the law in the
form of being too connubial with
other women, while the third minis
ter's wife crawled into the home fur
mace and tried to cremate herself. In
the last instance, it would appear as
murder, but the veil is impenetrable,
and thus the men who would regulate
our every action continue to clutter up
the news columns of the daily press
with their sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Chicago, according to reports, is
enjoying itself, judging from the eth
les of some business men. When it
is desired to "knock off" labor
leader" gunmen are imported and
with easy money being handed to
them, the gunmen find other avenues
to make a cleanup. When it gets SO
bad that the garbage department
emits a howl about the streets being
used as slaughter house, the mayor
and chief of police stand up on their
hind legs and ask for pole with
which to knock off few rotten apples.

BUY UNION MADE BREAD

Secretary Donnelly, of the Ohio
Federation of Labor, is sending out a
circular to all local unions through
out the state calling attention to the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
Unions fight against non-union bread
and other bakery goods. Especially
does Secretary Donnelly point to the
Ward Baking Company products
which is operating in many cities
throughout the state.

And moralizing: Considering the
number of ministers, professed and
otherwise, the percentage of evil do
ing and -mindedness is all in
favor of those men who live their
daily lives in such a manner that the
golden rule is held close in the inside
vest pocket, right near their heart.
Comparisons are odious, hence we
desist.

THAT MAIN AND B JAM

One way to stop part of the traffic
congestion at the corner of Main and
B streets, is to furnish the operators
on the city electric cars with longer
switch rods. Every car that passes
this corner compels the operator to
get out and throw the switch with a
two-foot rod. Rods should be long
enough to throw the switch or frog
without the operator leaving his car.
AS soon as the cars stop the conges-
ton occurs, and before the operator
is on the car again automobiles are
lined up on the bridge block away
Some day some street car operator is
going to get bumped out of existence
and then it will be too late. Better
put an extension on those rods and
avoid an accident.

Casually, another one passes the

WIPE OUT PRISON GOODS


The secretary of Trades Council
informs us that since the Press has
taken up the fight against the handl-
ing of prison-made goods in the local
stores that these goods are not being
pushed to the fore so prominently as
heretofore. Many of the merchants
declare that as soon as their stock is
wiped out they will discontinue handl-
ing them The merchants say, many
of them, that they have been handling
the goods in ignorance of where they
were manufactured To enlighten all,
in another column of this issue will
be found an advertisement of the
Garment Workers Union, giving a
complete list of prison contractors
and the brands of goods they make.
This list should be read over by every
merchant desiring to cooperate in the
fight against prison-made garments,
and by every workingman and woman
so that they might become acquainted
with the name of the contractor and
the brands of garments he produces

A very lucrative business is being

That General Sherman was wise be-

The KALEIDOSCOPE
By l. C. McCUMBER

There is just one thing hits us
between the eyes. Is the fanatical
prohibitionist quite so slovenly that
he has not fallen for the balloon
pants? We have contemplated buy
ing another pair, but were holding
back to see if they would not try to
force us to buy the balloon kind. Oh,
well, plenty of liquor is being mopped
up, so we guess all the enforcers are
busy storing it away

SHOP EARLY-MAIL EARLY
One of the important features in
the shop early, mail early campaign,
which is being put on throughout the
country by the post office department,
is the proper addressing and securely
wrapping of Christmas packages.
When you wrap your Christmas pack
ages, wrap them securely, put your
address in the upper left hand corner,
SO if by any chance, it should go
astray, it can be returned to you and
not sent to the dead letter office. The
good folks of our community last year
helped to bring joy and happiness to
hundreds and thousands of postmen
and clerks. Let's do our shopping
early and mailing early again this
year, so that we may again enable
the postman and the post office clerks
to eat their Christmas dinners home
with their families, and at the same
time assure ourselves of having our
