politicians being present. Mr.. Price,
a Republican mem Der OF the Board,
was not appraiser OF this meeting.
On Friday morning we received in
formation as to5wnat was decided
upon at this caTcus. This caucus
not only decided bwho would get the
appointments, bH Also decided what
other names would be presented at
the regular meeting. how many votes
would be taken and who would vote
for certain meu. They knew the
names Mr.. Price Would present
and decided just$how the vote should
stand, in other words they planned
the whole thing out and the regular
meeting of ths$ Board was but a
repetition of the caucus. Mr.. Petty
did the very thing that caused the
people OF Charleston sos vote Mr.
Buster out OF office. He became q
part of the cortipt Holly machine
From now ON $Ho1ley will dictate
the policies OF ithe Administrations
and the people ssof Charleston will
have to put up With crime and graft
for two more years.

publicly accused of graft and never
denied the charges, returned to office
what can we EXPECT of the Board of
Affairs in the future?
1t seems that our Board OF Affairs
is BUY-PARTISAN board now in
every sense of the word, or will re-

unreasonable price for water, and,
WHEREAS, the experience of num-
erous other cities in the United
States has shown that it is to the
interest of cities to own their own
water plants, it resulting in better
service, purer water, and great finan-
cial saving, and,
WHEREAS, the said Kanawha Wat
er and Light Company is now attempt
ing to secure 4 renewal of its fran
chise for period of thirty years, thus
seeking to fasten upon the city a vic

detriment to the progress and pros
perity of the city. and,
WHEREAS, for the reasons stated
above. it is to the interest of the City
of Charleston to purchase the said
water plant from the Kanawha Water

better condition before winter All
were of Importance to the city and
especially the citizens OF the Third

it is to be regretted that they have

BODY OF Durles1uers, the Board OF
Affairs, to answer to charges pre-
Jerreo by Jim Holley and Friday
nedell, both of them acting as wit
nesses, 1nformers, prosecutors and
Judges, an infquitous inquisitorial
court which cannot be duplicated
this side the heated bars of hell
Russell proved, beyond question,
that Friday Bedell was perjurer,
and dared Jim Holley to ask for the
proof that J. Shirley Ross was a
liar, CRATER and thief" Jim
flolley didn't ask for it, he hasn't
yet, nor will he ask for it. This
travesty of court was held in the
open, the evidence was public prop
erty, the Labor Argus had no pro-
prietary rights in the matter and
every spectator present was thor
oughly satisfied OF two thin gs-first:
that Friday Bedell told a lie and
swore to it; secondly: that Russell
openly made the charge that J. Shir-
ley Ross was "a liar, a CRATER and
thief" and detiied Jim Holley to
ask for the proof. The Argus has
no copyright on this testimony taken
before that vaudeville court, pre-
Slded over by Jim HOlley-chlef in
vestigator, chief judge, chief wit
ness, ably aided by judge, witness,
prosecutor. Friday Bedell, perjured
member of the Board of Affairs. No,
the Argus has 10 patent right on
that testimony, it belongs to the
public, and all the laughing, nudg-
ing and assumption of Importance
will not eliminate the sting of truth
contained in every cnarge against
the gang as they have appeared in
the columns of this paper.
Jim Holley was elected by the peo-
pie, regardless of poilttcs-by the
biggest majority ever given to any
one in this city--in order to purify
the city government. The eXpendi-
ture of close to forty thousand dol

Ballot and Built.

There is a type of mind that
measures everything by the bayo-
net and calibre. 1t is a product of
breeds boy Scouts and such
movements.
Its possessors measure equal suf-
frage in the same way. They say,
"lf woman is to use the ballot she
must also bear arms" i d :. ~
They are answered by one writer
in these words:
"A woman who gives birth to
children renders, at least, the same
service to the commonwealth as the
Elan who defends his country and
his hearth with his life against a
foe in search of conquests.
Moreover, the life of woman
trembles iii the scales at child birth
All our mothers have looked death
in the face at our BIRTHS, and many
succumbed.
''The number Of women who die
as a result of childbirth or who as
consequence pine away in sickness,
is greater than that of the men who
fall in battle or are wounded"
That's a powerful reply.
But here's the thing that appeals
to the Citizen:
Make woman q voter and there
won't be any more bearing of arms.
when she gets Il hold on the affairs
OF government.
Motherhood awakened and equip
ped with power will never reconcile
arms-bearing with collaborating.
1t will not submit the products
of the pains of childbirth to the
pains of the battlefield.
1t will not bear children to bear
arms.
Turn the awakened motherly i'm
pulses of woman loose in society
and the hell-born hound of war will
stink away off the face of the earth
forever.
Let woman have a hand in poll
tics, and she'll soon beat the sword
into plowshares and the spear into
pruning hooks and machine guns
into sewing machines, and all the
ugly implements of war into useful
articles of human service.-Ex.

HE GOT THE GOOSE.

A number of the crack shots Of
the Rifle Club felt pretty much put
out at the turkey shoot Thanksgiv-
ing day, when Mayor Mayfield enter
ed the contest and captured the
greatest part of the honors. The
mayor never did boast about his
shooting and never did distinguish
himself in any way, SO when he be-
gan shooting for turkeys his pres
ence was considered quite a joke.
and the smart ones had it all fig
uered outflow they would stick him.
Imagine their surprise and cha
grin when in his modest way the
mayor pierced the target every time
right up close to the bulls eye.
when they were missing the target
entirely. The mayor felt pretty
much elated over the affair and
stalked home in a very triumphant
manner with the prizes, which In
stead of turkeys were nice big geese.
He said to the Pilot Man the next
day. well, do you know just sur
prised myself and made them fellers
feel like a lot of geese.

and the Wrath OF the King is upon
US, and some of our number hare
been driven from the Iron Trail and
stoned with Tin Cans and Time
Checks, and have been compelled to
walk in the Jungles where the Gao
tus is thick" And Lo! the High
Priest appeared before the multi
tude, and his anger was great and
he spoke in a calm voice saying" is
it not written in the Great Book that
Water will Quench fire? Now heark-
en- unto me. When thy axles mako
loud noise put water upon them
copiously, and do thou treasure thy
OH and when l return l will bless
thee accordingly. l will go now to
| the King and put a spell upon him,
and he will call your brethren back
from the Jungles and let them again
walk upon the Iron Trail" And the
High Priest shook the dust from his
feet and departed. And the multi
tude marveled much, and again es-
sayed to obey the commands of the
High Priest. And the Chariot Driv-
ers used Water on the Axles and
were Jubilant. And they spake one
to another, saying: Yea, verify!
Pat Stack is wise Man" And the
banished brethren returned from the
Jungles and used Water copiously,
even as the High Priset command
ed. And the brethren of the Great
Iron Trail used many Oil Vessels,
that the Shadow cast by them might
be great.
And great and abiding peace
descended upon the multitude.

Lo! 1t came to pass that High
Priest cometh out of the wilderness
and traveleth up and down the
Great Iron Trail, and preacheth to
the multitude thereon; and the High
Priest was Gatherer of Oils, and
he calleth aloud to the Drivers of
the Caravans, saying: yea, verify!
thou shouldst husband thy Oil, and
not spill it upon the ground, for to
do this is sinful; and thou shouldst
not spread it upon thy Chariot Axles
SO lavishly and thus cause evil to
befall thee, for this oil cometh
from Galena and is we'll known
among the faithful to be possessed
of marvellous virtues!''
And the multitude admired and
marveled much, and they called the
High Priest pat Stack" And the
High Priest blessed the Chariot
Drivers vigorously, and saith unto
them: "Hearken We unto me. Go
We at once and gather all the Oil
from thy Chariot Axles and place 1t
in a large Vessel, and let only the
Shadow of this Vessel shine upon
thy Chariots, land l who ann a Mighty
High Priest will love thee" And
the High Priest departed. And the
Chariot Drivers did as the High
Priest commanded them, and 10! evil
befell them and the wrath of the
King was visited upon them, and
they calleth for Pat Stack in loud
voice, saying: 'Thy teachings have
