"Y" DRIVE
In Financial Campaign
Starts Next Friday With
Big Meeting of
Workers

The annual financial campaign for
the Y. M. C. A. starts next Friday,
April 10, with get-together dinner
meeting of 100 men workers at the
"Y." The goal this year is $33, 900,
less sum than that asked for last
year, which speaks well for the eco
nomical administration of this
worthy institution.
The 100 workers in the campaign
are men chosen from all walks in
life and all classes. They have been
divided into IL teams with a capain
for each team whose job it will be to
see that all workers are right up on
their toes during the running. There
will be friendly competition between
the teams for the honor of securing
the largest amount in the drive
The purpose of securing the $33 900
is that the institution may be able
to function until April l, 1926, and
that all debts against the associa-
ton may be wiped out.

PROF. SHOUPE BUSY
Organized Band at College
Corner - Leads Three
Bands and Orchestra

About the busiest man in Hamilton
and Butler county these days is
Professor Stanley Shoupe, popular
director of Shoupe's Band Two
weeks ago he organized 24-piece
band at College Corner, which organ
ization he now drills and rehearses
each Friday night. Monday nights
he rehearses his own concert band
Tuesday nights the Somerville Band
Wednesday nights he drills and di-
rects the Junior Orchestra of 65 mem
bers, composed of his own students
Other nights and every afternoon he
is busy teaching pupils various mus
ical Instruments. So that it is read
lily seen the professor doesn't have
much time for playing marbles, spin
ming tops or indulging in any other
of the boys" pastimes.
More music comes out of the pro-
fessors studio on High street than
was ever dreamed of in Cincinnati's s
old Music Hall or the Conservatory of
Music. Professor Shoupe's ability as
a leader of bands and director of
orchestras is recognized, and his
services are becoming much in de-
mand Shoupe's Band is fast gain
ing reputation for efficiency that is
more than state wide.

Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
says he wants to know how about
the funny way the price of wheat
jumps up and down. As Mr.. Jardine
is an ex-president of university, he
should know that when wheat goes
up it is because there is not enough
to go around He should know that
when sugar jumps to 35 cents pound
it is for the same reason. He should
know that when gasoline goes to 35
cents a gallon it is because there is
shortage in crude OIL All he will
find necessary to do to find the cause
of anything is to send his investi-
gators to Wall street, get the dope"
and draw his salary-that is all his
predecessors ever did for the poor
nuts who have got to stand for the

When we returned from a trip
through Canada last fall, this column
was of the opinion that Canada had
grown tired of all the hypocrisy and
deceit entailed by prohibition. A vote
was had in October, and instead of
having some 100000 majority as pre-
viously, the so-called "drys" slumped
to $4,000. Now the legislators, back
ed by the highest officials, have taken
the hypocritical law by the scruff of
the neck, and with swift kick placed
where it will do the most good, have
done away with the Westerville, o.,
propaganda. Canada has awoke to
the damnable effect that hypocrisy has
upon the human element and will have
no more of it. Sorry? Why, Of
course, we are. Wayne b. Wheeler's

SMALL'S COSSACK

Strike Police
Especial to The Daily worker.)

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 10.-The
senate of the Illinois legislature is
now debating on which state police
bill shall be passed, the Dunlap bill,
which would establish a state police
force similar to that which prevails
in other states of the Barr bill, backed
by Len Small. The Barr bill and the
Dunlap bill, it was admitted in the
senate debate, are practically identi.
cal.
Both measures provide an ample
force to be used by the Illinois man
.ufacturers TO do strikebreaking duty.
The Barr bill would create an I'M
limited force of state police, with full
power Of arrest under the direct or.
ders Of Governor Small.
The discussion on the two cossack
bills will be resumed next Tuesday.
It is likely that Smalls bill will pass
as he has so far been able to control

SPRINGFIELD MINERS
HOLD DEMONSTRATION
IN FIGHT ON REACTION
Especial to The Daily wOrker.)


SPRINGFIELD, H., April 1o.-
Final preparations we're being made
here today for the mass demonstra-
ton Sunday afternoon, at Reservoir
Park, Of coal miners protesting
against the effort of the Lewis-Far-
rington machine to depose Freeman
Thompson, reelected as president
of sub-district four.
All the high officials of the IIIi-
nois Miners District Union, includ-
ing Pres. Frank harrington, Vice.
president Harry Flshwiek and Sec
retary-treasurer Walter Nesbit have
been invited to attend the mass
meeting and present their case to
an open meeting of the miners. It
is not likely that they will take ad-
vantage of the invitation.
The Lewis-Farrington machine is
trying to put John A. Walker in
Thompson's place. Walker, who
previously had been parading as
progressive" and denouncing the
harrington machine, came out two
years ago as supporter Of the
reactionaries in the miners union,
and was put up as stalking horse
to defeat Joe TumuIty, a militant,
and elect John J. Young, Earring
ton man, as district board member.
Since then Walker has been loyal
servant Of the reaction in the coal
miners union.
