CREDIT DUE EAGLES

Hamilton and vicinity certainly owe
the Eagles Lodge for it's great cele-
bration of July 4th and the entertain
ment afforded all of the people on
that day. If it were not for the big
event staged by the Eagles the day
would be tame affair so far as
Hamilton is concerned. With the en-
tertainment offered at the fairgrounds
in the way Of big special attractions,
band concerts, dancing, games, con-
tests, fireworks and many other
things the people haven't anything to
complain of so far as entertainment
and amusement is concerned on the
glorious Fourth. And the Eagles do
not make the money on these monster
affairs that many think they do. In
fact, the writer of this article happens

years back, after final settlement was
made of the Fourth of July celebra-
tion and outing, the Eagles faced a
deficit that year of nearly $400. Lots
of money has to be taken in when to
pay $1,000 for fireworks, $1,000 for
special attractions, brass bands, or
chestra for dancing, hundreds of dol
lars for ground rent and other Incl
dentals on which there is no direct
return for expenses. It is only a
great organization with a large
membership like the Eagles Lodge
that can conduct successfully a big
affair such as the lodge conducts an
nually on the Fourth of July. There

OUTPUT DOUBLED
Papermaking Bosses Would
Now Reduce Wages

Albany, N. Y.-Not satisfied with
doubling production in the last 10
years, paper manufacturers are at
tempting to reduce working condi-
tions, according to officers Of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Paper
Makers. The unionists state that
machinery now under construction
will double the present output. This
will be four times the amount pro-
duced in 1915.
The Paper Makers Journal says
that one company union" has drop
ped it's pretense that it is only inter-
attacking trade union officials.

advocating state-owned insurance.
Some of them, Mr.. Ives implied, are
treacherous enough to the rights of
private property to advocate such
foolish things at present-for some
other fellows property.
All of this is very interesting. But
Mr.. Ives might as we'll understand
that the days of private profit at the
expense of hurt and killed workmen
and their families are numbered. That
particular game belongs only to "the

LA TOILETTE, THE BUILDER
They say, now that he is gone, that
La Toilette was fighter but not a
builder. They say he was battling,
virile opponet, desperately in earn
est-they pay him this tribute, but
they don't credit him with achieve
ment.
But La Toilette was a builder. He
could have built more structures, if
he had been willing to build badly,
or falsely. But he wouldn't. He de-
manded honesty, soundness. He
wanted to build for the people. He
fought caste and privilege-how he
fought!
But he did build He built things
that will stand true and strong all
through the years.
Away at the top of the list is the
seamen's act-the La Toilette sea-
mems act. After President Wilson
had signed this act, Andrew Furu-
seth, president of the Seamen's
Union, said, "The seamen, the last OF
the bondmen, are free!" 1t was so.
If he built nothing beyond that, he
built great structure, for he brought
freedom to the men of the sea.
In Wisconsin, La Toilette built
greatly. He took the state away from
~ .,o;I,oalo IL dro,,o o,.+ +bo ~, orc
money changers. He freed the State
University and put it at the service
of the people. He gave Wisconsin
and the nation a new kind of univer
sity-free, broad, dynamic.
La Toilette built. He built as few
men in American public life have
built. He built permanently, because
he built on foundation of justice ant
freedom.
| All through all the years Of strug
gle, years of fighting against awfu
odds, he remained kindly, tolerant
friendly. He understood men and tn,
motives that drive them to do goo'
things and evil things.
One more name is added in per
petuity to the roll of our great an
honorable dead.

YES, THE PEOPLE DON'T OWN 1T
Teapot Dome goes to Sinclair, says
the court. And promptly Sinclair
stocks go up-and Sinclair makes
some more money.
One court says Doheny can't have
Elk Hills. Another court says Sim
clair can have Teapot Dome. Courts
are queer things, aren't they?
The supreme court will have the
last word on both cases.
Meanwhile the people wait and
wonder.
Meanwhile, also, Albert B. Fall
didn't do anything wrong when he
turned Teapot Dome over to Mr..
Sinclair. That's another feather in
Mr. Falls cap, which is already well
feathered.
Most of US, however, would rather
not have that kind of feathers.
But out of it all this much stands
clear, regardless of any court OF all
the courts:
Teapot Dome once belonged to the
people, set aside as naval reserve,
so that the navy might have oil in
the event of some great national
emergency. Now that oil does not
belong to the people. 1t belongs to
Mr.. Sinclair, says the court. That
is clear.
Whether Mr.. Fall and Mr.. Denby
had a technical legal right to turn
that great deposit over to Mr.. Sin
clair, the courts will finally decide.
One court has said that they had the
right.
But this the people know: Once
they owned that oil; now they 90 not
own it. And perhaps when, and il
they ever get it back, it will in that
remote day not be worth having!

increase in their pay. There has never
been an adjustment of salaries of
these institutional employees since
they came under the control of the
former board of administration and
the present welfare department.
Many of them have been receiving the
same pay as when they entered state
work 80, 40 and in some cases SO
years ago. Many have sacrificed all
hope of becoming indepedent in
their old age for loyalty to the state
and its unfortunate wards. A survey
was made by Governor Donahey and
the only salary increase which he
favored was for these underpaid in
stitutional workers, and members of
the general assembly for once agreed
with him and made an appropriation
that will suffice to grant every en-
ploye slight increase.

NO KICK SO FAR

To date there hasn't been heard
single objection to the Millcreek Val
ley line discontinuing business. 1t
would certainly be welcome news to
the merchants on South Third street
and Maple avenue to know they are
to be rid of the tracks on these two
streets and the parking of the cars
at Third and High With the big
busses travelling down Dixie High
way the day of it's use has passed for
the Millcreek Valley line. At least
the line isn't being patronized enough
to make it pay, and of course one
can't blame the owners for wanting
to quit under the circumstances.

COMPENSATION SPREADS
The CALLED jade winces, which is
another way of saying that no steer
likes to get knocked on the head.
Henry Swift Ives said in recent
speech in San Francisco:
II represent a large number Of the
leading stock casualty insurance COM
panies. Already sixteen states have
gone into the business of writing
workmen's compensation insurance
and in seven of these our companies
actually have been driven out COM
pletely, as far as this form of insur-
ance is concerned, and the state has
an absolute monopoly in my
opinion the attempts to socialize in.
surance are really more dangerous
than the attempts to socialize any
other industry"
Now, of course, that is hard luck
for Mr.. Ives and his stock casualty
insurance companies, but it is mighty
good luck in those sixteen states for
workmen who get hurt and for the
families of workmen who get killed
They don't have to fight private in
surance companies in order to get

electric light plants He tried to
strike a bargain. He proposed that

public ownership (Mr Ives ignorantly
called it "socialism") of light plants
and that all electric light men stop
