LET THERE BE LIGHT
By BENZ. F. pRIMMER. Attorney

Dy DENJ. r. Th1MMLR, Attorney
On November 4th the people of
Hamilton, Ohio, will be given the
chance through a referendum ballot
to vote "yes" or "no" whether to sell
the city electric light business and
turn it over to private monopoly for
at least the next twenty-five years.
We believe the vote should be an
emphatic mo" Why? Because we
have had our municipal plant for
thirty years; it has always paid its
own way and make profit; it also
in addition to that has furnished the
street lighting which has been worth
at conservative estimate $750,000,
or more than the entire cost of the
plant plus the interest. Besides the
plant making profit, paying it's own
way and furnishing the street light
ing free Of charge to the tax payers,
we have had lower price for cleo
tricity in Hamilton than in a town
where the Union Gas and Electric
Company has monopoly.
Froelich & Emory, who made Sec
ond report trying to get the people
of Hamilton to sell to the U. G. & E.,
in their first report, before the ques-
ton of sale was up said, "rhe city
has been in the electric business
thirty years; the results and the serv-
ice rendered have been generally sat
isfactory; the present physical con-
dition of the power plant equipment
is good; the equipment has been we'll
maintained; the present electric dis
tribution system has been maintain
ed in good physical condition, and the
street lighting system is modern and
efficient and the circuits are we'll de-
signed"
Ex-Mayor Harry j. Koehler, Jr., in
July, 1923, before the city council
made speech, and said in part:
"The electric light plant did not cost
the taxpayers one single cent, pro-
duced net profit, took care of its
own obligations, sinking fund re-
quirements and interest charges; in
addition to that, it has furnished
without cost to the taxpayers, street
lighting for which no tax levy has
been made"
The people by more than two-thirds
majority voted $650,OOO bonds to ten
large, improve, repair and extend" the
city electric plant; the bonds have
been sold and more than 100000 is
now on hand for that purpose. We
need not build new plant. Compe-
tent engineers report that we can
add equipment to the present plant
to meet the needs of the city for
many years to come; that we should
install additional pumps for the
water works to be run by electricity;
that we can make all the necessary
additions to the plant and the dis
tribution system about town and in
stall the additional pumps and that
the total cost will not exceed $780,
600; we now have over 100000 on
hand with which to do the work;
consequently we could do all these
things and have over 100000 left to
turn back to the sinking fund trus-
tees.
Why does the private company
want the city electric business? To
make money. Why should the peo-
pie vote mo" on the sale? To save
money for themselves. Get busy
with your friends and neighbors and
explain this matter to them and get
them to vote mo" on this electric
ballot November 4th. We will give
more reasons next week. Get your
copy Of the Press and pass it on to
your friends

London, Aug. 22.-The labor party has achieved success in society if not In parliament, since 1t came into pow CT, writes the Liberal Magazine, in a caustic article in its July issue. The publication says:
 In every avenue of polite and deco rative social display the labor govern ment has been tremendous success. No opportunity has been missed. There has never been moments slack ness in any matter of garden parties. royal receptions, court balls, city ban quets, or special opera performances in Downing street. Even the special admiralty yacht the 'Enchantress, which the late conservative govern ment laid aside from motives of mar row parsimony, has been brought out and their friends.
 And there has been no nonsense about dress. The wives and daugh- ters of ministers have not only taken the trouble to go in court on two consecutive nights, but have worn en- tlrely different and quite suitable clothes on each occa sion. The prime minister has been so obllgng as to allow himself to be seen in the city In blue velvet and gold braid
 "All the same, 1t has been an i'm mense triumph for the labor party. No one can ever again accuse them of unreasonable hospitality 10 that lavish social display which gives so much pleasure to poor people who have 10 watch it from the pavement.

HAROLD OSBORNE WINS
 NICHE IN FAME HALL
Achievements in Olympic Games Place Him Among America's
 Greatest Athletes of All Time

New York, Aug. 22.-By virtue oi his achievements in the Olympic games Harold M, Osborne of the Iili- nois A. c. has won an enduring place among Americas premier track and field athletes of all time. Osborne won two gold medals by his brilliant victories in the running high jump and decathlon at Paris, thereby reach ing the zenith of long and remark able career.
 The one man aside from Osborne himself, to whom lions share of credit is due for the athletes record is Coach Harry Gill, who has been training men at the University of Illi- nois for 20 years. Gill discovered and developed Osborne shortly after he arrived at the university, an obscure aspirant for honors in the world of sports.
 Osborne, who possesses intercoleg- late, National A. A. U. and Olympic trophies, won his first important title. the Western Conference high jump championship, only four years ago. He has suffered occasional reverses in this event since then but has remained supreme in the decathlon, his special ty. He registered hts most praise worthy achievement in this event at the Colombes Stadium few weeks ago, not only winning the Olympic title but establishing q new world mark,

CLERGYMAN'S LIFE DULL
British Minister Attacks Own Calling As Trivial; Could Be Done By Gramophone, He Says.

London, Aug. 22.-The reason for the shortage of clergymen in the church of England was described in what he called plain, blunt and even brutal language" by the Rev. N. P. Williams during a sermon he preached recently at Holborn.
 'The work of a clergyman is, in a great part, of dull. trivial kind" he said. Tt consists mainly in the sing ing of choral offices which could be we'll rendered by moderately effi- cient gramophone. The personality of the typical clergyman, developed by exclusive association with women and children, represents the sort of thing that no self-respecting boy wants to grow into"
