Mike Griffis, Former Hamil-
ton Boy, Training Cincin-
natl Fighters for
Events

Jack Scheaf, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the big boxing
show to be staged at the Jefferson
theatre on next Tuesday night, and

of establishing summer camp for
the tubercular children of Hamilton
and vicinity, reports everything prac-
tically ready. In addition to the regu
lar seating capacity of the Jefferson
theatre several hundred chairs will be
arranged around the ring on the
stage. Tickets for most all of the

ing packed house.

any doubt about it but what the box

none but we'll known and classy fight
ers will participate. Mike Griffis,
who is in charge of the Cincinnati
gym, is now busily engaged preparing

nasium. Griffis is an old Hamilton
boy. Many years back he worked here
at his trade of machinist. He was
for number of years general organ
izer for the American Federation of
Labor, and is a personal friend of
Samuel Gompers.
Griffs says he wants it known that
his boys, as he calls them, are work
ing like trojans to get in Al fight
ing trim, so that when they step into
the ring at the Jefferson on Tuesday
night they will be in the pink OF
ondition-everyon of them.
1t can be seen from the program
advertised that the lovers of the box
inc game are in for real treat on

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
BY l. C. McCUMBER

Some of our hypocritical friends
prohlbltlonists-ave that as we al
ways were inclined to be headstrong.
we do not at this time show the proper
spirit in supporting the 18th amend
ment. So far as we are personally
concerned, there is no 18th amend
ment. Not that we have liquor in
our pockets, shoes, spectacle case, cap
or overcoat, but that we simply leave
the dirty work for those who are
supposed to uphold that so-called law.
As for instance: When you pay
man money to enforce law, you do
not think that he should violate the
law that he is supposed to enforce.
Mr.. James Allison, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times-Star, writing
under New York Day BY Day. says:
Though the New York newspapers
have refrained from printing any
thing about it, topic of general dis
cussion, this week, is the beefsteak
given at a ISSOII III L
street by a number of federal prohhi-
bitionist officers of this district. 1t
lasted from 6:30 p. m. to daylight,
and the guests consumed dozens of
bottles of whiskey and many kegs of
real beer. No Tammany district cele-
bration-even in the old days-was
ever drunker." Now, my hypocritical
friends, if your federal officers, new
to the game in New York, collect your
money and my money to break So
called law, how do you figure that it
is up to go to me church and confess
their sins Mississippi has been un-
der prohibition for nearly seventy
years. 1t is just like the New York
orgy of federal agents. They are will
ing to take your money, but they don't
believe in any such law Then why
try to deceive yourself and your God,
if you have one?

AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES

Jackie CoOgan at the RialtO, Sunday
A large, old-fashioned trunk is
Jackie Coogan's bed in Daddy a
First National picture, produced by
Sol Lesser, which is coming to the
Rialto theatre for five-day engage
ment. E. Mason Hopper directed it
from the original story by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Coogan.
Much of the action takes place in
the attic home of an aged violinist
who finds Jackie Holden wandering
about the streets, and gives him a
home. There is only one small bed
but Jackie discovers that the trunk
contains soft bottom of clothes,
and he appropriates it for sleeping
purposes. After assisting his feeble
guardian to retife, all Jackie has to
do is to undress and open the cover
of the trunk. Within he finds his
bed prepared.
The added feature will be an Our
Gang comedy, "The Dogs of War,
and Rialto News.
Rialto, Friday-Katherine Macdonald
in 'The Beautiful Liar"
''The Beautiful LIAR" an Associated
First National attraction starring
Katherine Macdonald, which is COM
ing to the Rialto theatre on Friday
for an engagement of two days, is
considered an ideal vehicle for the
American Beauty" 1t has a plot
which moves with lightning rapidity,
an abundance of humorous situations,
romance that will make old hearts
young and young hearts stronger, and
a genuine human interest that should
appeal to all theatre-goers.
The added features will be "Fight-
ing Blood" comedy and News.

PEOPLES DEPOSIT
AND imp. LOAN CO.
Annual Report Shows
Most Prosperous Year

Elsewhere in this issue of the Press
will be found a report of financial
transactions of the Peoples Deposit,
Improvement and Loan Company for
the year 1923. The report shows that
this company enjoyed very pros
porous and successful year. The
figures show gain over the pre-
vious year of more than $163, 900 in
assets, with reserve and undivided
profits fund of more than $67, 900.
This is gain of nearly $4,000 in these
two funds over that of the year pre-
vious. The report certainly speaks
well for the officials in charge of the
company's affairs and especially of
Edward Warndorf, the efficient man
aging-secretary, whose every thought
seems to be for the success of his
company.

COLD CALCULATION.
Inspired Bolshevik 'sPar-
don" of Socialists

BY International Labor News Service
London.-Justice, oldest socialist
organ in Great Britain, makes the
following comment on the action of
the Russian soviet government in
committing to five years solitary con-
finement the death sentences of
socialist revolutionaries:
"The bolsheviks have 'pardoned'
the socialist revolutionists who were
sentenced to death on August, 1922.
Some of the kind-hearted socialists in
this country are inclined to consider
this act as a manifestation of good
will and almost Christian forgiveness
on the part of the Moscow autocrats.
That is a great mistake. The boil
sheviks were made to cancel the SEN
tence which caused such indigna-
tion throughout the world. The pris-
oners determined to commit suicide,
one after another, if they were kept
longer in the cellars of the Tche-ka,
suspended between life and death.
One of the prisoners, Sergius Mara
soft, has already fulfilled the threat.
If the others were to follow his ex
ample it would have produced in
Europe an impression very unfavor-
able for the Bolsheviks at the moment
when the official recognition of their
government by the other countries
seemed to them so near. Cold cal
culation, and not humanitarian con-
siderations, are the real cause of the
bolshevist mercifulness.
