Cried loudly through the world, dis

And there was CONSERVATION in the

And men who strutied under oraia

Beat on their medsllad breasts. ana

The word was echoed through thou

And shop and mill and factory and

Where throve the awful Industries
OF death,
flushed into silence. Scrawled upon
The passer read. Peace bids her chill

But foolish women elasped their lit

And wept for JOY, not reasoning ike

Again the voice commanded: Vow

And build a world for progress and

This work has waited since the earth
was shaped,
And men were fighting. and taey

The needs of life outnumbered needs
OF death.

(PAID ADVERTISEMENTS }

w. F. Melang is candidate for com
missioner OF public works, subject to the
approval of the voters of Everett at
the primary election on June (.
He is a native of the state of Wis
consin.
Resided in Everett for the past eleven
years.
At the beginning of The Spanish
American war he cnlisetd in a volunteer
regiment and served throughout the war.
He is a member Of the Spanish-American
War Veterans.
He has been secretary Of the local
bricklayers union more terms than he
cares to count, no one being found will
ing to enter the race against him for that
responsible position.
He has worked at the brick laying
trade for many years both as journey
men and foreman. He has been fore
man for several large contractors on big
construction jobs where all a mans
knowledge and ability to supervise men
was brought into play, He has had great
experience in sewer and concrete work
and is probably as well qualified from
an actual working standpoint as any
man in the city. This city has an i'm
mense amount of street work ahead of
it and in the practical knowledge pos
sessed by the head of the department of
public works, Mr. Alelang believes the
taxpayers must depend both for quality
of work and cost.
q am not a politician" said Mr.. Me
lang. 1T won't make any difference to
me what are his politics or religion nor
how he stands on any question foreign
to the work of the department, but does
he know how to do the work right in
the particular position he Is hired to
fill. ! believe the people of the city
are entitled to the best service obtain
able and that no other consideration
should enter into the matter"
Mr. Melang is answerable to no one
but himself for the fact hat he is a can
didate and recognizes no clique nor com
bination. He wants the votes of those
who believe he is the man best fitted
for the position and will hold no ami
mostly toward those who favor some
other man.
With the above square declaration of
his principles he is willing to go before
the people for election.

UNION MEN
TN THE RACE
A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE MEN
CARRYING UNION CARDS
WHO ARE IN THE RACE
FOR COMMIssIONERsHIPs-
ONLY THREE so FAR HAVE
FILED THEIR CANDIDATES.
BUT THE GAME rs YOUNG.

The Journal has been asked to state
what men among those who have filed
for commissionerships under the new
charter, are union men and something
of their qualifications
So far as we know there are lust three.
There may be some aspirants who have
at some time or other in their lives been
union men or had cousins who were
union men, but we are naming those who
are now carrying cards in local unions.
They are: w. f. Melang, commission
er of public safety; Hans Sole, com
missioner of public works; r. J. Olinger
commissioner of public safety.
w. F. Melang is the secretary of the
bricklayers union and has lived in Ev-
erett eleven years. Followed the trade
for twenty years and understands prob
ably as well as any man in Everett brick
and concrete construction. Is candi-
date on his own hook without regard to
any other mans candidacy, clique or
frameup.
Hans j. Sole is the candidate of the
socialist party and if elected will be
guided by the wishes of that party. He
has been in Everett for several years, is
member of the caprenters' union and
with his brothers, is engaged in the
building contracting line. He was chosen
councilman from the Fifth ward last
fall, winning handily over the field.
That his party at least has confidence
in his ability and believes him the most
likely candidate of the party to land the
public works berth, is evident that he
was not "hand picked" but was chosen
by referendum vote of the party mem
bers.
X. J. Olinger is the candidate of the
socialist party for commissioner of pub
lie safety. He is member of the elec-
tricians' union. The Tribune refers to
him as "a young fellow for some time
in the employ of the Independent Tele-
phone company as foreman The
writer of this article takes this occasion
to say a word about this ''young fell
low" The writer has known him init
mately for eight years. He has held
every office within the gift of his local
union, twice been a delegate to the Pa
cific coast conventions of his craft, and
several times delegate to the State
Federation of Labor conventions. For
one year he was president of the Trades
council, a situation which often calls for
tact and cool -headedness. He is now
chairman of the city central committee
of the socialist party. We have seen
him in trying situations, situation in
which many an older man would have
gone up into the air, and we never saw
him lose control of himself nor let the
situation get away from him. That's
what We term executive ability" He
is an uncompromising labor man, but
he has good sense enough not to try to
lift two-ton weight with broom
straw. That's the young fellow"
| If any more union candidates appear
we'll try to give you pen picture of
them and do them justice.

SEATTLE LEAGUE GIVES CAR.
NIVAL.

A delegation from the local Women's
Label League journeyed to Seattle Tues
day to attend the big carnival given in
Dreamland rink by the Seattle league.
The following ladies made up the party:
Mesdames Franzen, Hart, Francois,
Walker and Zeigler and the Misses Stella
and Francis Eidem The ladies were de.
lightfully entertained and tell glowing
stories of the activity of the Seattle sis
ters.
Dreamland rink was crowded with
union men and women of our sister city.
Mrs. Sylvester, president of the league.
was crowned Queen of the Carnival Two
little pages dressed in blue velvet carried
the queens train and were followed by
two wee "Potlatch Bugs dressed in red
velvet.
A fancy drill was given in which a
woman representative of each craft took
part. The costumes We're novel and bril-
liant, each ont emblematic of some craft.
The lady representing the electricians
wore gown covered with tiny electric
bulbs, which We're fed by concealed
battery and the intermittent flash of
the lights was spectacular. The cigar
maker representative wore gown of
cigar wrappers, while the gown worn by
the brewery workmen representative
was trimmed with beer bottle caps.
1t would take page to tell all the
description brought back by our ladies
and, anyhow, we mustn't steal all the
thunder from our friend Mcnamara of
the Union Record.
Suffice it to say that the Everett
contingent is loud in its praise of the
Seattle Women's Label League.
