FINE WORK

We must hand it to the police de-
partment for the splendid manner in
which traffic was handled and crime
held down during the fair last week.
Safety Director Boil and Chief
Kolodzik had men stationed at all the
important and much travelled inter-
sections, and traffic was handled in
an admirable manner with not sin
gle complaint heard but many COM
ments of commentator.
The service department is also en-
titled to praise in seeing to it that
the main arteries leading to the fair
grounds were in good condition for
traversing Especially is this true of
Heaton street and Fair avenue.
Director Mitchell and Walter Willard,
of the department, certainly did won
ders with Fair avenue. 1t is only
to be regretted that, after having
this street in such good condition that
it wasn't oiled in order that it be
kept that way. If Fair avenue is
kept in driving condition it would do
much to relieve the traffic situation
on Heaton street, as many motorists
would use the street going north OF
coming south.
Anyway, both departments are de-
serving of praise for the good work
of last week.

LABOR is CONSERVATIVE

Organized labor has experienced its
ebb and flow, it has risen and fallen
with the tide of industrial activity
This is indication Of weakness that
calls for correction.
1t never has been the claim of its
proponents that organized labor has
perfect form and method which will
meet the ever-changing situation il
must confront. New structure ano
new tactics must be adopted if sue.
cess is expected.
Critics delight in calling attention
to the failure of organized labor anc
condemning it for its shortcomings
Because victory has not crowned al
the undertakings of the labor move
ment it should be discarded, accord
ing to the logic of its opponents.
Organized labor has made mistakes
1t has made progressive changes il
it's form and methods to meet tn,
changing situations, and must con
tinue to adapt itself to the necessitie
of the situation which arises with de
velopment of industry. 1t is true tn

requirements, and failure has marke
many of labor's struggles, but it

Here is a cause that every trade

Here is a cause that every trade
unionist, alive to the Importance of
political activity as he is, can support
and join in with enthusiasm. 1t is a
struggle, not for today, but for a
long period of time. 1t is to bring
into full operation the rights and the
duties that were won at Concord and
Lexington. Again, it is tough job,
but one that needs doing.

To All the Voters of
Butler County:


If you elect me to the very impor-
tant office of county auditor, l prom
ise you honest, competent, courteous
service.
l am not in sympathy with the re-
cent reappraisement of real estate,
and will gladly receive complaints of
excessive valuation, and in all proper
cases will give relief so far as lies
in my power.
Ny opponent is Mr.. Stanley Kinzer,
who is now serving his second term as
county treasurer, and | respectfully
call attention to the fact that if he
should be elected county auditor, it
will be necessary for him to resign
from his present office, as the newly
elected auditor will take office in
March, 1927, while the term of Mr..
Kinzer as county treasurer will not
expire until in September, 1927.
Your vote and support will be
gratefully received.
