Princess Helena, who was born IN
1876. and the other Helen Blackburn,

Princess Helena was the fifth child

and was born just one day after her
mothers twenty birthday.
When Princess Helena was twenty
years old she married Prince Chris

Union Cards Tor teachers.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

affiliate with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. They have been fight
ing for an increase of wages In vain.
They believe that with union cards
in their handbags, and the moral sup
port of the Gompers organization,
they can get what they want. The
answer of the Board Of Education is
n vague threat to get along without
their services, TO fill their places as
soon as possible. The response of
the teachers might be a strike all
together, leaving the children Of
Cleveland tintaught.
We shall all watch the experiment
with concern. Ministers, artists, law
yers, editors teachers, have never
been swept into the labor union
movement Nobody really cares how
many hours a day they work, or
what pay they get for it. II is what
they accomplish that counts. That

Stripped OF apparent exaggeration,, the
facts are these: Under normal conditions

In recent local elections, nevertheless,
the large md populous units have gone
Democratic. This has inspired the Dem
ocrats with the winning spirit, and they
are working with a vigor and vim that
promises to sweep the entire Democratic
ticket into ONCE by an unprecedented
majority at the coming election
The main factor in the Congressional
race, however. is the remarkable friend
making qualities displayed by "Dick"
Johnson. as he Is coming to be known
I'm the district Touching on this point

when people suddenly begin calling

that the have felt the latent magnetism

human. He has q heart as well as a
hand for everyone. Like Big Tim Sui
livan, the famous Tammanyite, Dick
Johnson has never been known to leave
undone a favor that II was in his power
to do. The people in the Fifth District
