FAIL TO CONTRIBUTE

Nashville, Tenn.-John E. Edger-
ton, president of the Tennessee Manu-
facturers' Association, issued a call
for funds to combat humane legisla-
ton in this state and he received three
replies.
Mr. Edgerton deplores that many
members are not paying their dues
He says it may be necessary to issue
short time loans "to get through the
year, but we will not have any money
for further legislative preparation
work, which is SO badly needed"
This hard-luck plea has had nc
effect on the trade union movement
nor will it lessen the workers activity

LARGEST FAMILIES
in MINERS HOMES

Washington. - Statistics collected
by the department of commerce show
that the average number of children
born in American families in which
the ages of the fathers range between
As and 49 years, was the highest
81, in the families of coal miners
The lowest, 3.3, is in the families OF
dentists, physicians and surgeons.
Where the ages of the fathers range
between 40 and Al years the highest
average number of children born, OF
7, were those of coal miners, and the
lowest average, of 2.8, were those OF
architects. These ages of fathers
were taken since they, "on the whole
probably represent completed fam
lies" according to the department.

WOMEN'S WORK
LAW IGNORED
BY BOSS E S

Passaic, N. J.-Unorganized work
ing women employed in woolen mills
have discovered that the Moonlight
work" law is ineffective. The ACT
prohibits the employment of women
between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m., and was
supposed to be in force beginning the
first of the year. Several of the
larger mills have ignored the law 'or
advice of counsel"
These sharp lawyers probably hac
a hand in shaping the law, which fails
to carry a penalty vor violation.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By l. C. McCUMBER

One of the outrages upon society
and for that matter, upon the law
abiding citizens of this country, has
been in full swing for the past five
years. More recently, several gov
ernors, men who are known for then
probity and judgment, have not hesi
tated in telling the truth when it came
to the prohibition fanatics. They
have plainly stated that the so-callec
Sunday school man would not take
a job as law-enforcer when it came
to violating the constitution of the
United States.

AUTO PROFITS HIGH

Thus it has been since the advent
of national prohibition. Mayors
granted the power to try prohibition
cases, without number have been ac-
cused of breaking the laws in the
conduct of their office, for village
revenue only. They have hired the
green scum from frog ponds and then
put some of the state money into
their own pockets, and it appears that
a personal conscience was not num-
bered among their assets.

Some of these days newspapers will
print the truth. Some of these days
they will give the names of men who
steal with one hand and give little
of their stealings to the church with
the other. Then and then only, will
it be that others will see us as we
really are

The stencil has been brewing. In
those states where prohibition has
been constitutional for many decades,
it is the common practice to reason
along this line: The white man will
handle the money, drink the liquor
and the "nigger" will do the work.
This is an incontrovertible fact Mil
lions of dollars represented in liquor
has been seized in some of those
states, and when an inventory was
taken not enough liquor could be
found to "wet your whistle" 1t just
naturally evaporated.

Why is the farmer, since Congress
man Hill, of Baltimore, Md, made
more cock-sure that he will not find
it necessary to cut down his apple
trees? Simply from the fact that the
farmer has understood all the time
that it was the beer drinker, the
whiskey drinker that raised all the
hell, and the apple jack and hard cider
drinker was immune.

Even the wine grapes
of California, of Ohio, of New York,
felt that their vineyards would be
taken away from them when national
prohibition was supposed to take
effect But nay, Pauline, that is not
the way it has worked There were
just enough hypocrites in these
United States, who posed as holicr
than thou, to use up the product of
the vintage, and today, if the devil
was to take an inventory, he would
find some of the largest contributors
to the prohibition sinews with other
than water upon his table or within
his home.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-01-16

The truth of the matter is, the
men who are in favor of wine in their
home vote prohibition. The men who
are not in favor of the bandigo and
saloon favor the abolition of public
sale of liquor They, for the price,
can get what they want privately,
even if they do not hold affiliation
with a synagogue. They pose with
clean hands, attend their church as
hypocrites and live the life of knaves.
Debauchery of all laws has been
the password Debauchery of the
legitimate in the business world has
been the keynote Of success in busi-
ness. Witness, the United States
Shoe Company, of Cincinnati. They
consolidated several factories, en-.
gineered stock selling game, anc
could afford to lose million dollars
year, simply because it was not
their money Most anybody can take
"fiier" in a gamble, and when they
can make much money, like the pro
fessional prohibitionist, why shoult
they not take "fiier" in a gamble
that pays better than talking to {
bunch of hypocrites of a Sunda.

The Northeastern Minnesota Civic

we'll when it selected "The Arrow
head Country" as name for its sec
ton of the state. The name is
taking like wild fire and will be in
universal use before the year ends
Much significance cannot be at
tached to the name until after tbs
design using the Northeastern sec.
ton of the. state map is carefully
looked into. The advertising done
in quest of name has furnished
remarkable results inasmuch as
10000 names were submitted from
all parts of the United States
Canada and many of the foreign
countries including Switzerland
England, Hawaii and South Ameri-
can points. The $500 prize for
the best name was awarded Odin
MacCrickert of Pennsylvania. ,Judg-
ing from the reception accorded the
name, it will be a success.
