One class of government employees
is likely to get substantial increases
IN salaries at this session of congress,
and by substantial, we mean substan-
tial. Federal judges are slated for
increases ranging from 25 per cent up
in a bill introduced by Representative
Graham, of Pennsylvania, which is
expected to pass. The bill provides
salary of $12,500 for the district
Judge throughout the country. They
now receive $500. Other increases
are as follows: Chief Justice Taft,
$20,500, against $15,000; other SUI
preme court justices, $4,000 as against
$14,500; circuit judges, $4,000,
against $780,; chief justice of the
U. S. court of claims, $13,500, and
associate justices, $4,000, against
$4,000 and $500.
Representative Begg, of Ohio, told
a few things at a luncheon here last
week. The congressman declared
Washington is the best governed city
in the United States, but citizens here
lack a sense of civic responsibility.
He said the city needs central or
ganization to serve as a clearing house
for ideas, in order that the people
here might present a united front
when making a request to congress
for improvements. The fact that the
city has such a body which represents
AZ local organizations scattered all
over town is evidently something en-
tirely unknown to Congressman Begg.
AS for sense of civic duty, can you
imagine citizens attending meetings
of these organizations year after year
in an effort to secure needed improve
ments, when all they can do is to pass

THINGS MATERIAL
AND IMMATERIAL
By WILL j. ROHR

Your morals are all wrong, stated
the head of American Civic Reform
League. "Unless you accept our
principles and our code of ethics, the
devil will get you" Millions of men
and women, who still are of the opin-
ion that the original laws of the con-
stitution were plenty good enough for
them, politely told Rev. Albert Sid
ney Gregg, author, lecturer and head
of the above organization. to take a
walk for himself.

Q.-Has the purchasing power OF
wages gained in the last year?

A.-The U. S. department of labor
reports that the purchasing power of
wages is higher now than it has ever
been. This is because wages have
risen faster than prices, the depart
ment explains, adding that in 1921 the
purchasing power of wages was 16
per cent higher than III the pre-war

Tried by jury of his peers, Rev.
Gregg was found guilty upon the
charge of sending anonymously OBJ
scene matter through the mails. Fed
eral Judge Paul Jones, of Cleveland,
Ohio, passed sentence of twenty-five
months in Atlanta penitentiary, and
added fine of $3.50 There is no one
to blame but Rev. Gregg. He was
old in years, he was devout hypo-

Hundreds of thousands, nay, mil
hons of good citizens of these United
States, have ascribed pure and un-
selfish motives to that great eman-
cipator, Abraham Lincoln And yet,
they have deluded themselves with the
blackest of falsehoods. According to
a most devout woman, strong against
freedom under the old constitution,
Abraham Lincoln acted from the
most foul and sordid motives when
he signed the bill of emancipation of
the black slaves of the Southland.

The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-02-05

This most devout woman states that
the primal reason that Lincoln freed
the slaves was to the end that, while
the white men of the South were bat
Ting the Johnnies of the North, the
negroes would be turned loose and
thus assault the white women of the
Southland, forcing the Confederate
soldiers to return to their homes to
defend their women.

But there is hope for Rev. DR..
Gregg. Conditioned upon good be-
havior, he should be available for the
officers personnel in the Anti-Saloon
League within the next two or three
years. He has qualified in the Amer
lean Civic Reform League as being
fully capable to hold office, as noted
by his incarceration in a federal
prison.

Washington to have model child

Possibly, Mr.. Howard, in his zeal,
had in nina that if the pope would
"fall' for his balderdash, he, the
pope, would send to the shores of
America his vatican army, and thus,
at one fell swoop, prohibition would
have become fact-a all Americans
who believed in the old constitution
and liberty would have bitten the
dust. But, sad to relate, it appears
that the pope regards this question
as a political one, and will refuse to
make note of what the un-American
from Rochester, N. Y, desired his
holiness to dabble into.

father, use his good offices in trying
to enforce the unenforceable prohibi-
ton law of the United States.
