THE CLOSE OF ANOTHER YEAR

June 80, 1924, saw the close Of
another Federation year, every one Of
which has been filled with progress
and results for Labor. No organiza-
ton can show such results for the
cost. Ohio ranks first among the
States in Labor and progressive leg
islation, secured by the collective ac-
tion of Organized Workers through
the State Branch of the American
Federation of Labor-the Ohio State
Federation of Labor
The year just closed records a
splendid campaign carried on for Old
Age Pensions and a successful cam
paign to amend the Constitution Of
Ohio in .consonance with the wishes
of Labor. AS a result of the amend
ment to the Constitution of Ohio the
way has been cleared for the promo
tion of industrial safety, beginning
having already been made by the sc-
ton of the Industrial Commission in
making a number Of industrial safety
codes general orders.

is an indulgence in which there can

so. There is not only health in milk,

SATISFIED PROHIBITIONISTS

Many prohibitionists declare that
prohibition legislation has wrought
vast benefits. They seem satisfied
with the present state of things We
are not We believe prohibition
should either be the law of the land
or it should not; that it should be the
law if the majority wants it; and that
the way to find out whether the ma
jority wants it is to make a real effort
to enforce it to the limit.
Such an effort is not being made
now. We can hardly expect honest,
whole-hearted attempts to enforce
prohibition when high officials in
every branch of the government are
violating the dry laws.
Congressman who vote for prohibi-
ton laws are breaking those laws.
Policemen and sheriffs and United
States marshals and federal prohibi-
ton agents are drinking bootlegged
liquor Many of the federal district
attorneys and federal judges, includ-
ing some of those who have wide rep
utations as terrors of bootleggers, are
themselves violating the prohibition
law in their private lives.
Such federal judges drink liquor
when they can, and get it as they can.
The great majority of prohibitionists
do not realize this fact. They do not
realize that federal judges drink boot
legged liquor without any attempt at
concealing the fact from their friends
and acquaintances.
IN such circumstances, how car
prohibition be enforced?
The prohibition movement gained
a large part of its strength from the
resentment at viciousness that CEN
tered around the saloon: But has that
viciousness been eliminated?
On the contrary. The saloon still
exists and the crime that centered
around it still exists. In addition the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead Act have undoubtedly made
law-breakers of more people than any
other legislation this country has ever
had. And the widespread violations
of the prohibition laws have led to a
dangerous contempt for all laws and
have thus helped to increase lawless-
ness.
The present situation is benefit
to nobody except bootleggers and
men who make living as agents for
prohibition organizations America
should take a new course. Unless
serious attempts are made to enforce
prohibition, the present lawlessness
will continue. If serious attempts
are made to enforce it, the country
will be spurred into choosing between
repeal and absolute enforcement

NEGLIGENCE OF THE VOTER

This government at its worst is
better than nearly one-half of the
qualified voters deserve. A recent
research discloses that while 26,713,-
832 citizens voted for presidential
candidates in 1920, there were 25,-
705,063 qualified to vote who remain
ed away from the polls. To put it
another way, for every 100 votes cast
for President in 1920, there were SO
stayat-homes or "slackers."
This government belongs to the
people, and the sloths who neglect to
do their share in shaping it's course
have no kick coming when they get
run over and smashed by a political
machine.
There will be another presidential
election in November of this year. In
addition, 435 members of the House
of Representatives and 80 United
States Senators are to be chosen at
the ballot box The political, social
and Industrial course of the nation
for the next four years will be deter
mined largely by this election.
Those who go to the polls and vote
will feel the satisfaction Of having
performed a free citizens duty,
whether their candidates win or lose.
Those who remain away are as use
less as last years bird nest.-Labor.

To reward them for their toll.

YEARLY FRAUDS TWO BILLIONS

Almost beyond belief, yet undoubtedly true, is the state
ment made in a recent report that 2,000,0 900, 600 was liter
ally stolen from the people Of the United States during the
past year, through embezzlement, %forgeries, credit frauds
and the sale Of worthless stocks.
The report is made by the American Institute Of Accom-
tants, the highest possible authority, after q painstaking
and elaborate survey. This two billions does not include
losses by burglary, robbery or any violent means of separ-
ating the victims from their money. It only embraces the
results of misplaced confidence.
Of this staggering sum approximately two hundred
million was obtained by embezzlement and forgery; SIX
hundred million represents credit frauds, while the stock
frauds reached one billion, OF a thousand million dollars.
Add to these figures the vast sums wrested from our
people through other forms of dishonesty and the total
would be utterly beyond human comprehension. 1t is q
serious indictment of both the honesty and the intelligence
of a large portion of our citizenship.
Those who were induced to contribute to the billion dol
lar pot cleaned up by the fake stock jobbers have some
claim to sympathy, no doubt, yet practically every news
paper and periodical in the land has repeatedly warned
its readers against investing in wildcat schemes.
1t appears that as soon as one crop of suckers" is
skinned a new and larger bunch comes on to meet the
same fate.

FARM BOOKKEEPING

No modern business man would think Of conducting a
store or factory year after year without keeping records to
show whether he is making or losing money. Yet many
farmers try to get along with no records at all, or keep rec
ords so incomplete and haphazard as to be Of little value.
Many progressive farmers do keep books in a practical
way and these are usually the ones who make success Of
farming. They realize that they are business men, engaged
in the greatest business in the world, and they adopt bust
ness methods accordingly.
Not only should a farmers books show the total amounts
Of his receipts and expenditures, but they should show a
such as livestock, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and 50 on.
In this way he may discover what pays and what does not
such records he is working in the dark, often suf-
fering losses where he least suspects them.
Bookkeeping on the farm will not turn losses into profits
but it will serve to point out the mistakes Of a given year
be a great help in avoiding them in future years. No
farm should be conducted without a complete and accur-
ate system Of bookkeeping.-Exchange

FARMER RADIO OWNERS
RAPIDLY INCREASING

Fifty-five farmers in Roosevelt
county are owners of radio receiving
sets and this fall the number is rapid
ly increasing, since a fairly good re
liable set can be purchased at a mod
crate price.
A large number of farmers espec-
tally those who have no means of tele-
phone communications take the atti-
tude that a radio is more of neces
sity than a luxury. The radio gives
them a means of keeping in touch
with the market quotation so that
they can determine the best time to
sell their products, they can get the
weather reports; they will know when
the extreme cold wave is coming;
they can get daily talks on interest
ing farm subjects and they can get
any amount Of varied recreation pro-
grams, a necessity in life they must
have and are entitled to. Just the
degree Of Importance the radio has
is hard to determine but most farm
ers who have become accustomed to
them say it would be very hard to
do without them and they would part
with much before they would let the
radio go.
The radio will undoubtedly add
contentment and companionship to
the farmer who has been denied that
in the past, will give him better and
broader views to think about rather
than the little things that he worries
over for lack of something to think
about.
With a good crop and with good
prices this year the radio will I'M
doubtedly be another revelation to
our farmers.-D. B. Noble, County
