Frank Kersey, veteran manager
of the reorganized Knickerbock

be all dressed up with nowhere

Early this fall Kersey, deter.
mined to enter the fight for Dis.

mustered himself a crack eleven.
But, not until yesterday, was the
former Waverly pilot able to
schedule a ball game.
Wreathed in smiles, Frank

Everything
By JOE HOLMAN

Having elevated wrestling to a
big league standard locally, Joe
Turner, vetera n middleweight
grappler who has recently turned
promoter, is now planning one Of
the most ambitious moves in the
history of local sport. Convinced
that Washington has taken a
tumble to high class mat presen-
tations, Joe next Thursday night
will offer an outstanding outdoor
card under the arc lights at
Griffith Stadium.
Turner today was busily lining
up a sensational program which
probably will be headed by two Of
the country's leading heavy
weights. Joe was unable to reveal
the. identity Of the men he was
seeking to fill the bill today. But

VOTE THE JAIL BONDS

Among other things presented to
the voters on next Tuesday for their
consideration will be the question of
issuing $101 900 bonds to enlarge and
rebuild the county Jail. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that something be
done for the betterment of condi-
tions in our county jail and-its en-
largement. The old prison is anti
quated and jammed full. Before 1T
came to pass we were told that with
prohibition there would be further
need for iails as there would be no
further crime. No doubt some of the
ardent advocates of prohibition
visioned the old building being turned
into a kindergarten or place where
the ladies could hold knitting bees
and the men play pinochle after pro-
hibitions inception. But the blamed
thing seems to have worked the other
way round. Originally built and re-
modelled numerous times to house not
more than so prisoners at the most,
today the average population runs be-
tween 90 and 100. Eight and ten
women are packed into quarters in
tended for four
Of course there are some that will
say anything is good enough for
those violating our laws. But that
isn't humane. Those locked up in
prisons should be considered as un-
fortunates, unfortunate in that they
don't know enough to live such lives

MORE AID
For Unemployed Urged By
New York Governor

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-In letter
to Henry Bruere, chairman of the
state committee on stabilization of
industry for the prevention of unem-
ployment, Governor Roosevelt sug-
gested that Bruere's committee take
these steps:
1. Permanent establishment of To-
cal committees in the chief indus
trial centers of the state.
2. Bring about cooperation of pub
lie officials in the work of such COM
mittees.
3. Bring about, in the interest of
unified state action, the coordination
of these committees with the state
advisory council on unemployment
problems.
Governor Roosevelt wrote that
Bruere's committee already had
proved its worth, but that the con-
tinued unemployment necessitateC
further action for relief of the pres
ent situation.

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS)-The
bureau of labor statistics, in it's
monthly statement on employment
and payrolls, shows that the month
of September recorded gains over
August in both respects. From July
to August there was decrease of Ia

as based on 40,775 establishments in
13 major industries.
Iron and steel showed drop of Id
per cent, and motor vehicles or 2.7
per cent, in employment; while tex
tiles showed a gain of 81 per cent.
Substantial increases were also shown

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1880
BE SURE TO VOTE

Next Tuesday is election day. All
state officers, United States senator,
congressman and all county officials
are to be chosen at Tuesdays cleo
ton. In addition there are two other
issues coming before the voters. One
is an amendment to Article z, Section
of the Ohio constitution, which, if
adopted, makes change in the dis
tribution of inheritance tax. This
question has been given so little pub
licity and the people have so little
understanding of it that there isn't
much doubt as to where it is going
to land next Tuesday. 1t will just be
a plain case of following the old die
tates of when in doubt, vote No"
The other is that of the issuance of
100000 county bonds for the re-
building of and the enlarging of the
county Jail.
Whether a democrat or republican,
Catholic or Protestant, wet or dry,
black or white, it is the duty of every
qualified voter to exercise his or her
rights and vote. 1t is highly impor-
tant that this be done. The Press
especially hopes that no workingman
or woman will be disinterested
enough to fail to vote, and the Press
further hopes that the working peo-
pie will show interest enough on this
occasion, before voting, to learn who
those candidates are who are really
friendly to labor's cause and cast
their ballots accordingly.
1t will not be much trouble to learn

as would keep them out of prison,
and should thus be considered. Let's
be humane and provide for these poor
devils quarters where they can live
at least halfway decently. 1t is es-
timated that the cost of the proposed
improvement to the taxpayers will
be but five cents on each ST, 200 tax
valuation for period of ten years,
when the bonds mature. Let's chip in
this small amount and help provide
better quarters, in way, for those
unfortunate enough to be jammed
into the already packed Jail.

LABOR WILL PRESS IT'S
WAGE PLAN

The A. F. of L. convention in Bos-
ton indicates labor's determination to
press it's high-wage principle.
A quarter of a century ago the
A. F. of L. convention at Norfolk
declared that low wages do not
shorten business depressions; they
have a contrary effect. This declara-
tion was made when low wages were
supposed to reduce costs and high
wages were considered an additional
tax on the people.
The Norfolk declaration was elab-
Grated at the Atlantic City conven-

tion and is now emphasized at Bos-

tion and is now emphasized at Bos-
ton.
Labor's rejection of the low-wage
economists theory and popular ac-
ceptance of a new outlook is one of
the most significant reversals of our
economic history. The new viewpoint
that living standards must contin-
ually go upward-was favored by
President Hoover in his address to,
the Boston convention.
Workers must understand the two
theories that are opposite as the
poles.
1t is impossible to accept labor's
position and at the same time be sat-
isfied with what today is known as
"a living wage"
If wages are based on sheer neces-
stiles the doctrine of "contented"
workers is logical. If wages are bas-
ed on labor's new wage doctrine the
,"contented" laborer is replaced by
workers who insist on more equit-
able divisions of created wealth.
This question reaches into every
activity of life.
If worker is contented in the
factory, he is contented in every
activity of life. He protests against
no injustice.
The effect of labor's wage philos-
ophy is not confined within factory
walls 1t reaches into every avenue
of hfe because of the effect that in
telligent dissatisfaction has on mans
spiritual powers.
Labor's wage philosophy leads to
greater diffusion Of wealth, fewer de-
pressions, and the development of in.
dependent, intelligent, aggressive
workers.
The low-wage policy centralizes
wealth and fosters dependent
spirit among workers.
There is inspiration and certainty
in labor's position.
Every element of autocracy ant
stand-patism is found in the old the
ory.

Faultless Copies of Priceless Pictures

ANY mistakes which customs OF

said. These craftsmen of ours are so
cunning in their reproductions that
they often embarrass even q competent
connoisseur.
ION the other hand, the competent
and reputable dealer here in Italy
knows his business well and knows the
takers equally well. We are so ac-
customed to their methods that we can
generally spot a reproduction after
brief examination and before we take
any chances we always call In experts
who specialize in the type of piece which
We are considering buying. The reason
why many people are deceived when
they buy antiques is that they are look
ing for bargains-trying to get some
thing for nothing. There are always
bargains to be had, but the only people
who make bargains consistently are the

Pope Approves Books
Of Fascist Origin

At q recent meeting of the sacred
congregation of the holy Office a de-
cision was reached to have two books
issued by the Fascist "Littorio" press
placed on the index. The first book.
Date a Cesare," is an exposition of
the religious policy of II Duce, by
Signor Mario Missaroli, and the sec
ond book, Fascist State, Church and
School," Is by writer who signs him
self "Ignotus" C'Unknown"). Both
works have already been the subject
of severe reprimand in the Osservatore
Romano, Vatican organ, and the decision
to have them placed on the index was
approved by the Pope on the same
day. According to the decree published
In the church newspaper and ignored
by the Roman press. the books were
found to contain "the gravest errors
against Catholic doctrine, especially in
regard to the laws of the divine church
and the supreme power of the Roman
pontiff." Clerics are still smiling over
the case of another book, EST. Au-
gustine." which was first given o compli-
mentary review in the Osservatore
Romano. Later some church official
discovered that Giovanni Papini, the
author, had been trifle too realistic in
sketching the saints early life, and
the same Vatican paper subsequently
carried q scorching criticism Of the
work. Unless Papini agrees to make
some changes In his book, 1t, too, will
be placed on the index, 1t Is indicated.

FLORENCE. Italy-Some time ago a
prominent Chicago merchant who was
furnishing his home asked prominent
and reputable antique dealer In Flor
ence to obtain, If possible. two small
paintings for his dining room. The
paintings, he stipulated were to be mod
ern ones, done after the manner OF
Francesca Guard, the eighteenth CEN
fury Venetian.
The Florence dealer Immediately
placed an order with local artist who
specialized in reproducing old masters
and in two months had the paintings.
both of which were masterfully executed.
Being an honest dealer, and having no
motive for deceiving any one In regard
to the two pieces, he declared them to
be modern and proceeded to send them
to his client. Several days later he was
called by the local customs people and
charged with having tried to deceive
them by sending antiques without pay
ing the 20 per cent export tax charged
on all old pieces. He protested, but the
government experts were so confident OF
their decision that eventually he was
forced to pay the export tax.
On another occasion, the same dealer
told me, American customs officials were
so confident of their ability to spot fakes
that they charged duty on genuine
ANTIQUE painting of the fifteenth century
while they let pass. duty free, repro
duction on which no antique tax had
been paid in Italy.
The experiences of this dealer and
dozens of other episodes which have
occurred in italy during recent months
all go to indicate that few, If any, peo-
pie can always tell an antique from a
reproduction. This applies not only to
paintings but to pieces of sculpture, old
furniture, pottery, drapery and other
odds and ends A good expert, If he
confines himself to his speciality, may
work for years without making mis-
take in judgment, but even the best OF

holes in 1t, and. using it for material,
restores" a single slab which has
been rescued from real antique table
