IN EVERY HAMILTON HOME
CHRISTMAS

One of the busiest places in town
today is the headquarters of the
christmas in every Hamilton home
committee, on Market street, between
Third and Fourth streets. 1t is the
ninth annual campaign for bringing
Christmas cheer into every Hamilton
home and the committee in charge is
bending every effort that this years
work outdo all previous attempts.
mo home in Hamilton must be neg
lected, overlooked or permitted to go
without the cheer God intended for
everyone on Christmas Day." is the
slogan of the committee.
To accomplish this noble purpose,
however, the committee needs help
lots of it, in the way of contributions
of money, clothing, shoes, toys, can
dies, footstuffs of all kinds and the
personal service of all those who have
the time to give it. 1t is urgent that
dozen or two men come to head
quarters and assist in packing and
handling the great piles of goods that
it is going to take to provide the
cheer planned in the homes which
otherwise would be bleak and sad on
Christmas Day Yes, and the COM
mittee will gladly welcome a dozen
or two ladies willing to help in the
great work
Each year this noble work, first
broached by John E. Northway, secre-
tary of the Hamilton Chamber of
Commerce, grows and grows in vol
ume and immensity, and the plan is
being patterned after in many other
cities. And each year the people of
Hamilton look more kindly on the
movement and would, indeed, regret
to see it discontinued.
Let US all help make, as the COM
mittee plans, this years work greater
than that of past years, and then en-
JOY Christmas Day all the more for
having done so. Let US be liberal and
generous in our contributions. Won't
you send in your gift at once as the
time is drawing short-very short.

MOSES URGED SAFETY !;
ALSO WAGE PAYMENTS

San Francisco.-Will j. French, di-
rector California department of indus
trial relations, goes back to the time
of Moses to justify this states cam
paign for accident prevention and col
lection of wages.
deuteronomy, the Fifth Book of
Moses, gives emphatic approval to
these two activities of our depart
ment," said Mr.. Frnech.
Safety first is called for in chapter
%, verse 8: When thou buildest a
new house, then thou shalt make a
battlement for thy roof, that thou
bring not blood upon thine house, if
any man fall from thence"
Chapter "a, verse Is, makes this
call for wage payments, rather than
attempt to wrong the worker: AT his
day thou shalt give him his hire
neither shall the sun go down upon it;
for he is poor, and setteth his heart
upon it,"

ed by the communist right hand. TIC
put it another way, the voice may be
the voice of Jacob, but that left hand
is still going to be Esaus hairy paw
1t is officially announced in Moscow
that the soviet regime "did not and
cannot" as the New York World puts
it, guarantee that the communist in
ternational will refrain from propa-
ganda work in Great Britain because
of whatever agreement there might
be between the soviet regime and
Britain.
Those who knew their soviets have
known always that the soviet govern
ment never binds the communist in
ternational to silence. There is al
ways the pretense that it can not
bind a separate organization
Arthur Henderson, speaking in the
British parliament, says the soviet
government has bound the commun-
ist international to refrain from
propaganda work in British territory
Moscow, through an official spokes-
man, promptly denies this. Moscow
will not undertake any such promise
fact well known to all except those
who want to be fooled
In Russia the communist party is
supreme. The soviet government and
the communist international are both
subordinates of the communist party
Both these instruments obey "the
masters voice" and the one command
of the masters voice is "world revo-
lution!"
When The communist international
is ordered to cease propaganda for
world revolution, when it is ordered
to fold up it's tents and retreat to
Moscow, it will be because commu-
nism has finally given up the ghost,
and to think that has already happen
ed, in Britain or elsewhere, is to make
the wish father to foolish thought.

A Very Merry
Christmas
CHRISTMAS

Christmas is here and the world
loves and frolics. 1t is different
day, with a different spirit, from any
other festival of the calendar. No
other day unites SO much of the hu-
man and fundamental with SO much
of the poetic and beautiful.
What is the great difference? What
is the real spirit of Christmas
This day shall change all griefs
and quarrels into love"
So Shakespeare says, and there we
have it. 1t is the day when the white
flag is lifted above the whole world
1t is the universal peace day-the day
of kindliness, of friendship, of love.
Originally it was a pagan fest!-
val A celebration at the winter SOL
stice is as old as men, and the orig
inal spirit of it was one of rejoicing
because of the return of the sun.
When the early Christians selected

NO UNION MAN ON THIS JOB

In Washington, D. c., when Presi-
dent Hoover says should be model
city for law enforcement, six persons
were killed and many more hurt when
an explosion ripped up the sidewalk
and part of McCrory five and ten
cent store.
Major Danielson, army quarter
master corps, testified that what hap
pened was that 300-gallon hot-water
tank Of water heated to about 300
degrees under 50-pound pressure blew
up. He said the sudden release of
water under such conditions would
result in about a third of it being
converted into steam which, if gen.
Grated quickly-in about one second
would release 100000 horsepower of
energy. He said this would be equal
to a lightning stroke.
But more than that, it was testified
that neither of the two colored men in
charge of the heating plant knew any
thing about boilers, steam or pres
sure gauges. These two colored men
were not to blame-maybe nobody

MOONEY JURORS
FAVOR PARDON

San Francisco (ILNS)-All of the
living members of the jury which con-
victed Thomas j. Mooney of charge
of bombing the Preparedness Day pa
rade here in 1915 now have gone on
record as favoring a pardon for
Mooney.
J. w. Miller, the only juror who had
not joined in asking clemency for
Mooney, has written Governor Young,
urging him to pardon the imprisoned
man.
Miller explained that he had decid-
ed that the testimony upon which the
verdict was based was of doubtful
character.

about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ........

The newspapers are full of millions
and billions these days. The war
debts could all be paid out of any
edition of any metropolitan news
paper.
Corporations are announcing plans
for spending more billions in every
edition of every days papers. 1t looks
as if we were in for regular orgy of
spending money for materials and
wages.
Henry Ford talks about adding mil
lions in wages and he even suggests
that he may take back some of the
$4,000 men he laid off.
Telephone companies, electric rail
ways, power companies, railroads
all kinds of companies-are going to
spend enormous rolls of the good old
jack.
In the midst of all this handsome
generosity it would be a shame to
bob up and ask how comes it that just
when the nation was on the verge of
terrific crash these corporations had
all this money that they could turn
loose.
Everybody said that everybody was
broke, but suddenly the billions began
to come forth out of old socks and the
tide again begins to roll along.
1t may be in very bad taste to sug-
gest that if proper wages had been
paid in the years when Everybody"
was prosperous, as the papers so
naively had it. nobody would have
gone broke, and there wouldn't have
been any menace of panic.
Wouldn't it seem like sense if the
waves could be smoothed out bit, so
there wouldn't be such high rollers
and such deep valleys of gloom?
There is no doubling the fact that
depression was on the way long be-
fore the stock market began cutting
up didoes. Those who followed the
curves of industry knew as long as
two years ago that a slow-up was
setting in.
Dividends went past all records.

ed in that simple proposition.
Corporations are getting gay
wreaths of flowers hung around then
necks, bands of music play in theil
honor, the drums and trumpets give
them a roll and a flourish whenever
they show up in public. And the
newspapers, oh, la de da, how the!
spill the ink!
Patriotism for big business men to
day consists of spending pay rol
money for pay rolls.
This is all to the good and it il
sensless to jump too hard on mel
who are sincere enough and who real
ly are going to bat like good fellow
to call off that panic idea and put i
in storage.
But why wouldn't it have beer
better to have had that pay rol
money going into pay rolls all tn
time instead of into the pockets ant
socks of a few?

DOCTOR CLAIMS
POVERTY CURE
Fitting Employees in Right
Jobs Called Remedy.

By Science Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Millions
Of dollars could be saved 10 society
If executives did not have to carry
ON their work through inefficient
employees. And millions more need
ed for charity could be saved if
knowledge now available were used
to At to suitable jobs persons now
employed unsuitably and destined
finally to become dependent upon
charity.
These millions, if wisely used,
would be sufficient to remove such
poverty and resulting disease froiS
civilized nations, according to DR..
". v. Anderson, psychiatrist, of this
city.
These transformations of human
society are Immediately possible,
DR.. Anderson declares in a report
to the Personal Journal. In one
| department store in New York, out
of 1900 employees, 240 were judged
by their supervisors to be problem
cases, DR.. Anderson found.
After investigation of their educa-
tion, living conditions, health, per-
sonalities, and social problems,
about 100 were satisfactorily adjust
ed in their same jobs or in other
Jobs, so that they became economic
assets instead of liabilities.
Application of present knowledge
of psychiatry and psychology to in
dustry will tap a vast, new source Of
income to industry and business,
the psychiatrist predicts.

YEAR IS COST
OF PRESIDENT
Recall That Ben Franklin
Didn't Want to Pay
Chief Executive.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-Benjamin
Franklin, reputed to have been one
of the worlds wisest men, was OPP
posed to paying any salary what
soever to the President of the
United States.
In the constitutional convention
of 1877 DR.. Franklin argued that a
President should meet his personal
expenses from his own resources, in
order that the highest Office in the
land might not be sought after by
excessively and sordidly ambitious
men.
His motion, however, was not even
voted upon, but died without a roll
call.
This obscure historical incident is
revealed by William Hard, in the
current Worlds Work, in an article
describing just how the head office
of the greatest business in the world
the United States government is
kept up.
Hard states that it costs at least
half a million annually to maintaA
a President in a manner common
surate with his position. Added to
this must be the cost of interest
charges on the capital invested in
our White House and its beauti-
full and spacious grounds.
The President has a landlord
just like anyone else, He is Lieu
tenant Colonel U. S. Grant III,
present director of the Office OF
public buildings and public parks
of the national capital. He is re-
quired by a statute to keep an in
ventory offs all the White House
furnishings. Another capacity in
which he serves is that of official
junkman, keeping a sort of old Curl
osity shop of White House furnish
ings that have been replaced by new
pieces, which is a happy hunting
ground for antique-loving presi-
Dental wives.
There are just three persons, the
Worlds Work article adds, who are
in charge Of the upkeep of the
Whit House: Mr.. Henlock, who pre-
sides over the greenhouses; Mr..
Hoover, curiously bearing the same
name as the President-elect, the
chief usher OF the White House, and
Mr.. Forster, the executive clerk, who
sit in the executive wing. Mr.. Hen
lock has been with us since the first
Cleveland administration; MIR. Hoo
yer since President Harrison; Mr..
Forster since President Mckinley.
