The gist of his honor's letter was
published in the daily papers and no
doubt made note of by outside
newspapers, thereby notifying every
burglar, thief, thug, hold-up man,
bootlegger in the country that Hamil-
ton is unprotected and that here is
the place to ply their trade without
much danger of molestation. The
Press would just like to know Gov
ernor Donahey's thoughts when he
read Mayor Kelly's letter, which
naturally led him to think that Hamil-
ton citizens no longer can care for
themselves.
There is just about as much
chance for state aid, through the gov
ernor, in case of this kind as there
is of some great philanthropist COM
ing in and paying off the city's in
debtedness and filling it's Golfers with
fresh coin. AS it is, Mayor Kelly
puts us all in ridiculous light with
outsiders. We home folks, of course,
understand. But what do outsiders
think?
However, there is no need for any
one becoming excited or alarmed. The
predicted crime wave in Hamilton
failed to materialize. 1t may be, of
course, that the bad actors haven't
learned of our reduced police force
at this time and haven't got in yet.
When they do come, if they come, they
will find the stage set for them. For
with the officers employed by the
merchants, individuals, various words
and communities, the city is in pretty
fair shape so far as police protection
is concerned.
Things are turning out just as the
Press predicted from the start. That
is, that the city wouldn't go without
police protection for long, that the
business men and citizens in general
| would, when the time came, care for
the situation, hoping of course that
the mayor and city council would be
able to cope with it. 1t seems, how.
ever, this isn't to be as his honor ano
council don't seem to team up, ant
the only ones to get the worst of sucf
conditions are all the citizens o.
| Hamilton. But what's the use-i
could be worse; but let's quit broad
casting to the world our troubles

Hamilton is in the dumps, finan-
cially. That is, we are broke We
now have nine men in all police de-
partments. Only three on duty at any
one time. The daily newspapers told
US and reminded US of this fact every
day last week and since. This was
and is bad. 1t informs all night
workers that they can go on with
their work unmolested, so far as
police interference is concerned. But
bad as this is, the worst happened
when Mayor Kelly pulled the childish
stunt of informing Governor Vic
Donahey, by letter, of the situation
and asking state aid for the city's
protection.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By I. C. McCUMBER

Roy Haynes, erstwhile prohibition
commissioner, has been reported as
being in favor of civil service test
for each and every man who may be
employed by the prohibition unit.
Fine! Had civil service prevailed Roy
probably would never had his job.
After new department has been
stocked up, it always has been the
practice of those in office to have
their sinecures made rigid.
Well bet two mickles against two
muckles that the Alabama Power and
Light Company will walk away with
the Muscle Shoals bacon. Why?
Simply because they are on the
ground and know what the plant is
worth, while the rubes of the north
are looking at the policeman as their
pockets are being turned inside out.
Representative Hill, he who made
monkey out of the prohibition en-
forcement gang at Washington, D. c.,

has not spent one day in durance
vile, nor fined a penny, and on top
of that has had the satisfaction of
treating his neighbors with drink
that did not have any crawfish in it.
1t was surmised that there were
grasshoppers in his cider and wine,
but as it was not proven that they
had sufficient "kick" to throw an
army mule away from his bent, the
prohis continue to collect pennies to
keep their officials away from honest
toll. Mighty is the power of the
soothsayer
Guilty, as charged" reads the
Judgment of the court when two off,
cials of the prohibition unit were SEN
fenced to Jail for being drunk and
possessing the cheer that lubricates.
Funny, isn't it, how the eighteenth
amendment must keep itself alive by
having its personnel made up of the
scum of society. But that is the idea
an honest man will have nothing to
do with snitch proposition.
.
Here's a new way to commit murder
legally. A young man borrows an
automobile, seeks out an enemy of
the family, runs him down and the
supreme court holds that inasmuch as
the young man nor his parents owned
the death wagon, no judgment could
be had against the young man, and
the lower courts finding for the VIC
tim erred in awarding against the
driver of the car. Yes, the judges
were lawyers at one time.

Roy Haynes, chief prohibition off,
Ger Of these United States of Amer
lea, several times in the past year
asserted that Cincinnati, Ohio. was
one of the "driest" big cities in the
country. Police statistics aver that
there were 1875 arrests for intoxi-
cation in 1924 as compared with only
395 in the year prior to the advent
of Roy's "dryness." In addition
more than one thousand were arrested
for bootlegging. Thus it will readily
be seen that Cincinnati must have
been much "drier," for the weather
bureau states that four inches less
rain fell in the year 1924 than in
former years. So that let's Roy out.
He simply said that Cincinnati was
"drier," and that's that.

Prior to the advent of prohibition,
one of the chief causes for divorces
was laid at the door of demon rum.
Now after several years of so-called
prohibition, nearly all divorce courts
show that there is heavy increase
in divorces. The official apologists
of the prohibition fiasco must needs
hire new force of statisticians, be-
cause present-day truths must be con-
troverted to the end that the salaries
of the spongers will not fall behind.

HE SAW; HE KNEW

1t is given to few great men to see
their work so far completed that they
can lie down in final sleep confident
that their work will continue as be-
gun. Not so with Samuel Gompers.
He lived to see his work triumphant
and he must have passed away with
the consciousness that labor would go
on and on toward the final realiza-
ton of his ideal Of justice, freedom
and happiness for all.
Samuel Gompers took up his work
when organized labor was poor and
weak. He laid it down when labor
had won a place never before attain
ed in the history of the world-when
it had attained a dignity and place
and sense of its own value almost
undreamed of when he began his
career as leader of the organized
workers.
Despite the cynical, men do some
times get the rewards of their work
in this life. Surely Samuel Com
pers did. The workers and the en-
tire nation as we'll had time and time
again expressed their glowing appre-
citation of his efforts, and he went to
his death with the consciousness that
his countrymen had blessed him with.

THE NEW EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU HEAD

The Press is pleased to announce
the appointment of w. Harry Spears
as superintendent of the City
free employment bureau office in the
court house. Spears has been claims
Investigator in this district for the
state industrial commission for some
time, and the best investigator for
that department the district ever had,
as many whose claims Spears ad-
justed will attest. Harry has had
his ups and downs, the same as many
of those who become unemployed, and
he knows how to sympathize with the
out-of works He knows their needs
and will get as much pleasure out of
helping them as those will whom he
helps. He will also be great help
to the employers seeking help, as he
knows men. The local employment
bureau is in good hands.

BEN STRAUSS ON PARK BOARD
Everybody interested in the growth
and development of Hamilton's parks
was glad of the news that Mayor
Kelly had reappointed Ben Strauss
member of the park board. Ben
Strauss is busy man and usually
accomplishes what he starts after. He
built up big business and gave Ham
ilton one of the finest stores in the
state of Ohio, and those who know Mr.
Strauss best know that when he saws
is willing to give of his time to serve
the city on it's park board it means
much for our parks. That's why the
park enthusiasts are glad to know of
Ben Strauss reappointment.

depression and revival, 1t served this
country as no country was ever served
by q banking system. We know that
without it our nation would have had
a financial disaster far more devastat-
ing than any that ever assailed it.
While We have this great loyalty
and obligation to the System, we must
recognize that among it's friends there
has risen serious controversy over
many matters of detail. There are
many demands for change in the
methods of its management and in de-
tails of its operation. Where these
demands represent broadly the great
est good of the greatest number we
should support them. Where they
represent merely narrow, diverse in
terests of n part of the country or
one type of business or finance. they
should be subordinated to the common
good. We should meet on the great
broad ground of the common well
fare-frst to preserve the system in
general as 1t is now constructed. and
secondly to bring about, carefully and
soundly. such changes as are required
to adjust it to circumstances of today.
The task of considering, sitting,
weighing and co-ordinating discussion
and suggestions regarding the Federal
Reserve System has been confided to
the Economic Policy Commission of
the American Bankers Association. 1t
is hoped that thereby the Federal Re-
serve System will be given the best
