IMPORTANT QUESTION
Washington.—Will American voters
authorize reaction, at the coming elec
tion, to "pack" the nation's federal
cour^p
Will social legislation during the
next four years be set aside by grad
uated corporation lawyers?
A federal judiciary with these views
is the bulwark of reaction. A tax on
excessive profits can then be declar­
MEN
Shall Reaction, at the Coming Election, 'Tack" the Na
tion's Federal Courts?
Will these attorneys, then barbed
as judges, be permitted to rule thrt
child labor laws are "an interference
with the individual" and that "work
ers have the right to organize," bot
the employer has the right to starve
them if they do not forego that right'
A liberal-minded judge on the
United States supreme bench is a
nightmare to reaction. To special
privilege the model jurist is blind, i
both to economic development and a'
social conscience. For his guide he
takes expressions of men who livpl
before the machine age, and who
knew nothing of steam or electricity.

ed "interference with private initia
tive," a tax on land values can be
declared confiscation. Laws that act
ually regulate gigantic corporations
can be declared "un-American."
The president appoints federal
judges and because of increasing
years to a few of the judges on the
United States supreme bench, new
nominations will be made during the
next four years. The same is true
of subordinate federal courts.
It is a golden prize that reaction
has in mind. Through the supreme
court every piece of legislation that
threatens monopoly's hold on the peo
ple can be set ^pide by men who can
not be reached because of life-long
tenure.
A progressive senate and house is
powerless against this bulwark, which
is never discussed by a reaction that
talks of "Americanism" and "liberty"
—as a ground work to continue
thwarting the people's will.

the liberal-inded citizenry of this
country, but the presidency is the
keystone to the arch. The president
appoints federal jjudges.
Every advocate of special privilege,
every gougcr, every exploiter is as
sured protection if federal courts can
be depended upon to ignore the risii'«r
tide of progressiveism and to set
aside legislation that accords
present day ideals.
It is this power that has impelled
the trade union movement to demand
that life-long tenures and setting
aside of legisaltion by these courts bo
ended.
In "Labor's Grievances, Protest anH
Demands," adopted by a conference
of trade unionists at Washington last
December, this declaration was unan
imously adopted:
"We urge that the judges of our
federal courts shall be elected by the
people for terms not exceeding six
years.
"We assert that there cannot be
found in the constitution of the United
States or in the discussions of the con
gress which drafted the constitution
any authority for the federal courts
of our country to declare unconstitu
tional any act passed by congress.
We call upon the people of our coun
try to demand that the congress of
the United States shall take action
for the purpose of preventing the fed
eral courts from continuing the usur
pation of such authority."
Until legislation of this character
is passed, the only way to secure a
forward-looking federal judiciary is to
elect a forward-looking president.
A backward-looking president
means backward-looking federal
judges.

EMPLOYERS Ml'ST
ANSWER
Why
Corporate
TftNahnssee, Fla.—In papers in
the state supreme court Attorney Gen
eral Swearingen asks the court to cite
Tampa cigar manufacturers and hnvo
them answer why their corporate
powers should not be annullel.
These quo warranto proceedings
affect scores of employers who r.re
attempting to destroy cigar makers'
unions in that city. The attorney
general charges that the manufactur
ers have organized an association for
the purpose of limiting cigar produc
tion and controlling the industry.
Tampa cigar makers have been on
strike for five months. The employ
ers have attempted to victimize 200
shop committeemen and 13,000 sus
pended work. The industry is para
lyzed because of the employers' re
fusal to negotiate a settlement crd
the move by the state attorney gen
eral is expected to uncover coercion
and intimidation methods against em
ployers who want industrial peace.
INJUREDWORKERS
"Set Up" By Educational
Board
Washington.—"Setting up" injured
workers is a directing function of the
federal board for vocational educa
tion. This activity has been describo.l
as "standing injured workers on their
feet," and is made possible through
boards that are authorized by states
that accept the provisions of a lav
passed by congress last June. When
a state accepts this law its boar:1
must submit workable plans to the
federal board for vocational educa
tion, and if the board approves the
plans the states is allotted federal
funds to assist in carrying on the
work of rehabilitation. This general
supervision by the federal board
makes uniformity possible and tends
to check frftis and useless training.
States cannot use federal money
for medical care and treatment. This
must be provided for by the state or
private organizations or individuals.
The government has appropriatei
$750,000 for the fiscal year 1920-21
for this purpose. This money is be
ing divided among the states accord
ing to population, after the state?
signify acceptance of the act. No
state, however, shall receive less thar
$5,000. For every dollar of federal
money expended the state must ex
pend an equal amount.
Advocates of this legislation show
that a person injured in industry or
otherwise can be made independent
and self-supporting by teaching hiin
a new calling, or he may be permit
ted to become a dependent on society
I with a resultant loss of all self-re
spect. This legislation is based on
the former theory, and where it is
I impossible for injured persons to con
tinue their trade, vocation or calling
they are being trained for new activ
ities that they may continue their in
dependence and self-respect.
While the federal board maintains
a general supervision over this edu
cation, it has direct control over the
"setting up" of disabled soldiers, sail
ors and marines.

It is really the sensation of the season, the low prices in every department in our
store are unmatchable. With ready cash at our disposal we are able to purchase anything
that looks good to us, and at a small margin of profit we hand them out to you.. Hence
this sensational sale.
Just received 5000 yards of Marquisette in white, cream and ecru. Values no less
than 50c and up to 85c while it lasts, goes at 39c per yard.
Just received 10 dozen Men's Jeans Pants, Union made, as long as they last go at
$2.89 per pair.
Our sensational sale on Dry Goods, Shoes, Ladies' and Gents' Furnishings is still
going on. Don't miss it.
36 HIGH STREET HAMILTON, OHIO
WE HAVE
THE GOODS
While most merchants have been waiting for a "DROP IN PRICE" we
have been buying steadily—filling our warehouses with "STAPLE MER
CHANDISE" until they are fairly bulging..
The next few weeks will show the "GREATEST SHORTAGE OF
NEEDED MERCHANDISE" in the history of our country. Factories are
accepting orders for goods to be delivered when they can. Jobbers are appor
tioning out the small shipments they receive as the grocers doled out sugar a
year ago, and though the railroads are moving more freight than they have
in the past two years, they are so hampered by priority orders—shortage of
cars and engines that it will take from one to three years to get back to a nor
mal basis. And remember, there is a very large increase in freight rates and
this must be added to the cost of the merchandise—combined with this—the
demand for "GOODS" and still "MORE" goods grows more "TERRIFIC" day
by day. Everyone seems to have money which they wish to spend. Bank
clearings for the six months ending June 30, were $230,770,125,495, as com
pared with last year's showing for the same period of $186,391,026,027.
The "DRIFT" of all of this is that you "BUY EARLY" OR "YOU WILL
BE DISAPPOINTED." Our many splendid and varied connections with the
"LARGEST MERCHANDISE" concerns in the country over a period of 25
years, coupled with the fact of SELLING for "CASH" and "CASH" only,
gives us advantages possessed by few. When most merchants are refusing to
buy—and running "CUT PRICE SALES" it takes "NERVE" and "POSITIVE
KNOWLEDGE" to fill warerooms with carload after carload of merchandise.
This is what we have done. We have specialized in "VARIETY MERCHAN
DISE" for 25 years—consistently naming prices that "CONFOUND" and
'AMAZE' competitors, backing every SALE with our ironclad guarantee of
"YOUR MONEY BACK" if you are not satisfied. How well we have succeed
ed, none know so well as our thousands of friendly patrons. You know when
you could get what you wanted nowhere else—you could turn to us and rarely
have we failed you.—Never have you needed a store of this character so much
as you will the next few months—and it is the generous support you have ex
tended to us in the past that has given us the confidence to exert ourselves to
the extent of our "GREATEST ENDEAVOR" to serve you now. "WE HAVE
THE GOODS—YOU WILL NEED THEM." The combination is clear. Our
