Because wages are high we can do
our part in buying the articles indus
tries are turning out in ever increas-
ing quantities. The wage increases
for the conductors and trainmen on
the Eastern roads and the shopmen on
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Cana
dian National railroad may reasonably
be regarded as indicative of what is
to be expected in 1927. The con-
struction industry, which is key in
dustry, has even now almost as good
prospects as last year.
Another favorable indication is the
halt that has been called in commun-
ist activities in New York city. Sc
completely has communist methods
been discredited that it will be less
easy to impose upon workers in the
coming year
Bituminous coal and textiles have
much to do to bring these industries
up to average efficiency. It is more
than probable that 1927 will bring
both these industries opportunities
for real progress.
Prospects ahead are good and oul
unions should be planning to keeT
abreast this progress.

The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippsntl-,
sometimes rccklessly. ....

I A new year comes. Makers of CAL
endars live upon the changing of
years. Everybody gets new calen-
dar Some buy 'em, some get them
as gifts. The fellow on the park
bench gets his from the date line on
the newspaper left there by someone
else. And there are parts of the world
where the calendar as we know it is
no good at all. But those parts are
fewer and smaller than of yore. Cal
endars were made by religious men.
They are changed by business, mostly.
There is an organization that is try
ing to build perpetual calendar on
scientific lines. Some day it may
come into use.
Anyway, a new year dawns. All
dead things are quickly swept aside,
be they men or calendars, kings or
paupers. The human race has little
use for the junk of existence. That
which is dead is junk. The king is
dead; long live the king. Life is the
thing. So, we poor mortals, here for
a Pickering moment at best, cling to
life, fight for it, bite and claw and
struggle through it, killing in order
that we may live. Well laugh at the
passing of 1926. It's dead; kick it
away. Wen smile like lot of CO.
quettes at 1887, hoping to wheedle
fortunes out of it.
So life goes on in its endless series
of cycles within it's one grand cycle
The physical and material things
bloom, flourish, fade, die and decay.
That which is dead physically is
soon forgotten. Often it is wished
out of the way before it is out OF
the way.
One thing lasts-an idea.
He who can put into the world q
real idea gives to the world something
that has life to span generation after
generation.
We still quote Socrates, Plato, Aris
totle, Demosthenes. We do not forge
Peter and Paul, though some manifes
their memory merely by robbing one
to pay the other. We do not forge
the ideas that were left by Franklin
Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington. No
will we forget the ideas left by Wood
row Wilson and Samuel Gompers
The heroes and scholars and teacher
of the world live on, not because the,
passed through this vale in physica
form, but because from their brain
came immortal ideas.
Even the men who had bad idea
! are remembered, if their bad idea
were striking enough. Judas fell vic
tim to an idea SO bad that it still per
sists as typifying that which is mos
base. Nero had the idea that h
would fiddle-the idea of ignorant ar
rogance persists.
Millions of human beings plo
through the world with some ray O
light and hope and aspiration in thei
souls just because there have beel
men who have put into the worl
great ideas.
Men read their Bibles and gathe
comfort. Men read the words of Lin
coin and find hope. From the idea
of others the millions had the courag
to face -adversity, and frequently tn
strength to conquer it.
Ideas are immortal. They may b.
for time forgotten, or by some for
gotten, but they can not be killed ant
made to become dust
AS the race treasures the fine idea
that have come from the minds O
men, SO it improves itself and make
for itself each year year more file,
with life and freedom.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-12-31

While no one can foretell the future
with certainty, the conditions are
strongly indicative that 1927 will be
as good if not better year than 1926.
Many of our industries have made real
progress in developing production
policies and methods that sustain
prosperity.

PEONAGE IN TEXAS

Seizure Of Naco is to be the first
move in the Adolfo de la Huerta
movement, according to c report
originating from Tucson where the
former provisional president OF
Mexico recently visited and where
states that the seizure of Naco will
be the opening wedge in the move,
ment to obtain control of the rich
Cananea district, where linen, ann
mnnition, supplies and money arc
available.
The report seems to be borne out
by the facts that Adolfo de Ia
Huerta recently made a mysterious
trip to Tucson; that his brother
Alfonso de la Huerta, former gen
eral in the Mexican army, was re-
ported to be in Bsbee, just acros:
the line from Nado, prior to this
time, and that Adolfo de la Huerta
while at Tucson, made the following
statement to the press:
"I am waiting for the revolution
lists lin Mexico to capture bordel
roint so that I can return to Mex
leo without violating American laws
There will then be de facto gov
ernment in charge at the captured
city and my entry can be regularly
made" Mexican authorities
Douglas and Aqua Prieta attach lit
tie significance to the de la Huert;
statements Nothing but talk,

Many People Witness
Program Of Students
League In This City

More than 800 persons attended the
performance of the group of Students
of Many Nations given in the Grace
M. E. church Wednesday night, which
was pronounced one of the most in
teresting and unusual attractions ever
seen here The entertainment was
very colorful and picturesque, contain
ing as it did the costumes and customs
Of more than 20 different nations.
The students came here under the
direction of NJ. r. Davis, president OF
the Bible training school of Bingham

the Bible school. Davis explained that
the students have been on the road
since October 23, and during that time
have given a performance every night

Der of outstanding brief addresses
Outstanding among the numbers were
the lScnool sohSs Oh the SietS
The addresses were mostly brle1
sketches of personal experiences by
the various students.

FIVE TEACHERS
BACK FROM BIG
STATE MEETING

Five Douglas teachers who attended
the delegates meeting of the Arizona
State Teachers association at Phoenix
Monday and Tuesday, have returned.
Most of the business sessions were
taken up with reports from the vari-
Gus committees, among which the law
committee and the committee on con-
stitutional amendments were the most
important
The State Teachers association went
on record as opposing any attempt on
the part of the Legislature to get con-
troll of the school budget and place it
in the hands of the county boards of
supervisors The association also OPP
pose dalmost unanimously the physical
education bill now pending Other
legislative proposals were considered
and referred to the law committee

sociation.

ers' Institutes were set for October
IA and Is, Friday and Saturday. This

zona State Teachers association gave
favorable reports on the Institutes

ness meeting the administrators con-
ference met for short session, at
which time officers were elected for
