Judge Alphonse Pater started right
in on his job Tuesday morning with
an old-time Fourth of July slap
bang-whiz- boom JOLT And how he
did hand it out to the petty auto
accessory thieves and the reckless and
drunken drivers. Keep up the good
work, judge, and see if you can't
break up the habit of stealing high
priced accessories for which the thief
gets hardly anything, and also stop
the fellow with a Gag" driving down
the street to the menace of the public
in general. Too bad so many had to
face his honor with holiday chang
overs" Some of these poor devils
are really to be pitied yet for the sake
of society must be made examples of.
However, Judge Pater, if you want
to strike popular chord with the pub
lie in general, the Press would advise
that you throw away the keys on
the petty accessories thief, the
drunken or reckless driver and the
habitual violator of traffic rules.

JUDGES KAUTZ AND PATER

Hamilton and Butler county have
two new judges, Judge E. J. Kautz
in the court of common pleas, the
seat made vacant by the retirement
of Judge Walter M. Harlan, and Judge
Alphonse Pater in the municipal court
to succeed Judge Kautz. From all
that can be heard and learned from
the people in general, both appoint
ments are happy ones and popular
No dissenting voice is heard as to
the efficiency and competency of
either appointee. Of course as re-
CARDS the appointment of Judge
Kautz there is some disappointment
on the part of a few who would have
liked to see some other man named
this for purely personal reasons or
out of friendship perhaps, and then
again some of the politicians don't
agree that the right man was ap-
pointed; this, of course, to be expect
ed, for when do all politicians agree
on any one thing? That wouldn't be
politics if they did.
However, as a whole, as stated be-
fore, both appointments meet with
general approval, and the Press is
wishing both appointees every sue
cess-for their success is the success
of the city and county and the people
in general.

NOW FOR REAL FIREWORKS

NOW COn NEAL FlREW Ohho
You may think you saw fireworks
and then some more fireworks on last
Sunday and Monday, but what you
heard and saw on those two days is
nothing compared to those now in the
making and to be fired on Tuesday,
August 10th. The Press refers to the
political display of fireworks to be
fired on that day. Now that the big
holiday is past and the people have
time to think normally, the candi-
dates, whose numbers seem to in
crease day by day, in every way, and
their supporters, are girding on their
armor and stepping forth to do bat
tie for the big honors. From now
on the fur is sure to fy-paus auf.
1t is to be battle royal with no
mercy for the weaker foe. Already
there have been sevral Withdrawals
with others whose lower extremities
feel the cool breezes of the north pole
territory, but who lack the nerve to
acknowledge it and would give half
the chance they thought they had in
the beginning of the race if they only
had their name out of the fracas wit
out publicity. The Press wishes every
body success.
