SURETY COUPONS
THE BALLOON DESCENDS
Someone has let the gas out of the
republican balloon and it is coming
back to earth with crushing speed.
Senator Harding did it with his little
inu-.view at Marion last week when
lo hold the political support of Sen
ators Borah and Johnson he Anally,
Mid this time it is believed, irrevoc
ably scrapped the League of Nations.
Friends of the league within the
party had hoped against hope that
Senator Harding would sooner or la
ter agree to accept the present cov
enant with such reservations as might
be deemed necessary to reconcile the
major republican thought. But Sena
tor Harding had to choose between
Borah and Johnson on one side and
the friends of a League of Nations on
the other. He feared the chief noise
making senators of the west and he
figured that loyalty to the party would
prevent republican friends 01 the
league from bolting.
In some respects he figured rightly.
Mr Taft could be no bolter. His
party regularity has been put to the
test on more than one occasion, and
he never wavered, not once. He de
voted the past four years of his life
i: behalf of a movement to make
'riends for a league of nations. When
Mr. Wilson returned from Europe with
the covenant written and agreed to by
he leading statesmen of the world,
Mr. Taft organized a party of leading
national characters, and they went
through the country to cinch public
sentiment in behalf of its acceptance
by this country. Recently Mr. Taft
completed a lecture tour in which he
explained the senate reservations and
showed how unnecessary they all ap
peared to be. Senator Harding finally
put it up to Mr. Taft to choose be
tween party loyalty and devotion to
principle. He chose with his custom
ary habit, the former.
But there are other leading repub
icans, men who put the honor of their
country above loyalty to their party,
r.nd they refuse to repudiate the
league of Nations, not even if it
would keep Borah and Johnson in good
l.vtmor. It is too great a price to pay
to save the party and too little to re
pudiate the country's honor.
And there are hundreds of thou
sands of plain average Americans who
have favored the republican party, who
car read plain English,who cannot see
in the covenant a single clause that
will make of the league a super-gov
erament that will take one iota of
sovereignty from the United States
or in the slightest degree "wreck our
constitution," as is claimed by Senator
Harumg. They will not and cannot
vote for him when his election will
mean the repudiation of the League
THE NEW BRIDGE BONDS
One of the greatest and most im
portant improvements ever proposed
for Butler county is that of the River
side drive bridge across the Miami
river near Coke Otto. Bonds to the
of $390 (K)0 for the
on mi
,t
purpose
are t0 voted on the comjng elec.
be gincerely hoped
thcy carry No lmproveraent
waJ ever contemplated that is of s0
much importance to Hamilton, nor
was there ever an improvement con
templated that is of more importance
tu the whole of Butler county. True,
Hamilton will be the most benefitted if
the bridge is built and the road is
opened, but the county too will derive
much benefit from it. If the bridge is
huilt it means a direct road to the
north from Hamilton and a new inlet
All Shoes Reduced
The prices of shoes are declining. Even though we bought our present
stock at advanced prices, we are reducing prices on ALL SHOES to meet cur
rent market prices.
Remember, we are NOT selling CHEAP SHOES at reduced prices, but
we are selling the SAME, RELIABLE PATER SHOES at the lowest possible
and we are losing money in so doing.

to the people living north of the city.
It will bring the people of Hamilton
and Middletown and in fact the peo
ple of the whole county closer to
ther. It means much in an indus
trial way, for Mr. Savage, of the steel
plant located in Coke Otto, intimated
)n his talk before the county commis
sioners some time ago, that if the new
road was built it meant that his com
pany would greatly enlarge its plant.
He said, as it was, that it was difficult
tj secure labor for the plant for the
reason that it was hard for the work
ers to get to their jobs owing to the
Lad roads, the one on the west side of
the river and the only one leading to
Coke Otto. He said that the traction
•*ars were an uncertain quantity, that
the men often came late and some
times didn't get there at all. Where
if the new road were built that the
distance would be so much shortened
that the men could walk back and
forth if the traction cars failed them.
Then another thing, if a good road 1s
built the jitney busses will run back
rnd forth. All in all it is a wonderful
chance for Hamilton and Butler coun
ty to move forward. If the bonds fail
o carry it means a standstill, and the
old saying is when you stand still you
go backward. And we don't want to
do that. WE WANT TO GO FOR
WARD. Hamilton's vote should bef
unanimous for this wonderful con
'.emplated improvement. In fact all
the people of the county should vote
favorable on the proposition as all
the people will be greatly benefitted!
by it. The additional taxes to be paid
because of this improvement will hard
ly be anything. In fact this improve
ment will bring back in time many
times the cost of it.

OUR POLICY
As always in the past, The Butler
County Press is accepting political
advertising. No party is barred. All
a: driven the same opportunity of stat
ing their issues and making their ar
guments. The advertisements, View

t?aper, which at all times is committed
wholly to the principles of the trade
inion movement as enunciated by the
American Federation of Labor. The
Press is in full accord, uncompromis
ngly so, with the non-partisan polit
ical program as outlined by both the
American Federation of Labor and the
Ohio State Federation of-fcabor. Wage
earners, remember our slogan: "Stand
faithfully by our friends and elect

Oppose our enemies and defeat
them whether they be candidates for
president, for congress or other offices

"THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED"
Prom all over the country without
contradiction,comes the statement that
the railway owners are pleased with
what the government has done for
them. They may be. Fifteen hun
dred millions a year added in one
lump, with the assurance that in spite
of all past crimes and misdemeanors
they will make at least six per cent
is not so bad for a lot of concerns
that could not run themselves and
were practically bankrupt. It is un
derstood, furthermore, that if there is
anything the railroads want that they
haven't had, they must not hesitate
to aslc for it. When you begin to pay
new freight rates, commutation rates
and regular ticket rates, you will real
ize that there is no reason why rail
roads should not be happy, as long as
the public pocket is there.—Arthur

A SYNDICATE PRESIDENT
If by any miscarriage of suffrage,
Senator Harding should be successful
at the polls, who would be president
of the United States?
The senator and the "dominant
group in the senate" that nominated
liim have repudiated what they call
a "one-man" presidency, provided by
the constitution. The candidate has
even announced that he intends to
make the vice president a member of
his cabinet, for which there is no pro
vision whatever in the constitution.
The presidency is to be run by a syn
dicate everybody—that is, everybody
in the senatorial syndicate—is to have
soething to say.
There is no question about who will
he president if Governor Cox shall be
elected. The president in name and in
fr.ct will be James M. Cox. ..If Senator
Harding shall be elected the presi
dent in name will be Warren G. Hard
ing, but a board of directors compos
eJ cf Penrose, Lodge, Smoot, et al„
will be president in fact.
Do the American people want a
something to say.

TRADE UNION
PHILOSOPHY
Well Expressed By Bakers
in National Convention
Chicago.—In their report to the
convention of the Bakery and Con
fectionery Workers' International
Union, the executives of this organiza
tion present this fine statement on
trade union philosophy:
"The trade union movement can
not set any hard and fast lines for
itself. It has to reckon with the
workers as they are and not as it
would wish them to be. The growth
and expansion af the trade union
movements are apace with the growth
and advancement of the wage earners
themselves, and the co-operation of
the wage workers in a given indus
try must come through a natural, or
derly and well-defined course as a re
sut of necessity and experience.
"Any propaganda aiming at the de
struction
