Alderman Henry Utpatel, Repubi'
can candidate for Judge of the Su.
perior Court, full term, was born in
this city, April %, 1870, on the North
west side, his parents hailing from
that good sturdy German-American
stock who have accomplished so much
for the upbuilding of this city and
the United States in general, during
his boyhood days he attended the Ger
man Evangelical Lutheran Parochial
school of the st. Johns Evangelical
Lutheran church, of which he is still
a constant member, always being very
ambitious to get ahead in this world
At an early age he found employment
with fire insurance company, hustling
for outside business part of the time
and the rest of the time doing Office
work on the inside.
In order to complete his education,
he attended night schools for many
years so that he could obtain the edu.
cation which was denied him in his
youth, for even at that time he fully
realized that nothing goes ahead of
education in this world when it comes
right down to imparting power and in
fiuence to those who never permit
themselves to rest until they have
finally succeeded in climbing to the
very top round of the ladder which
leads on up to fame and fortune.
In time Alderman Utpatel decided
to study law and while faithfully
and honorably serving as the chief
bookkeeper in one of the largest fire
insurance offices in this city, he at
tended law school at night, graduating
from the law school in 1900, at which
time he was admitted to the Bar and
he has very successfully practiced his
chosen profession from that time to
the present, making a special study of
Municipal government.
For the past eight years, Alderman
Utpatel has been one of the very valu-
able members of the City Council from
the 18th Ward. Among his activities
in that body he fought against street
grabs by large corporations; fought the
Milk Trust; fought for a clean Raw

Judge Hosea W. Wells, Republican
candidate for Judge of the Superior
Court, full term, is so well known
that he does not need long introduc-
ton to the many readers of this paper.
For the past ten years he has honor
ably and faithfully served as one of
the judges of the Municipal Court with
the reputation for honesty and fairness
which cannot be surpassed by any OF
the judges of Cook County and his well
trained legal mind more than amply
qualities him to move on up to higher
court to adjudicate the acts Of his fell
low men.
Judge Wells was born on January
81, 1856, at Delaware, Ohio, and re-
ceived his education in the public
schools and in the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity. In 1889, he graduated with

MAKING GcentraFs" Job Easy.

It Is much more important than most
people think to give the name OF the
telephone exchange before the number
instead of vice versa and to be ex-
tremely particular in sounding the con-
sonants clearly in any conversation.
Also it Is necessary to distinguish care
fully between 3 and and to say "oh'
for O, instead Of ''naught," which IS
often mistaken for and sometimes,
curiously enough, for s. All these are
useful memoranda which deserve to be
kept in mind as steadily as that duty
Of courtesy to the telephone girl which
Is, we fear, too often forgotten.-Lon-

POPULAR MEDICINE.

The fascination that is in the prac.
tice of medicine is SO great that it is
impossible to persuade any person to
refrain from trying to practice it.
Every adult individual has a remedy
of some kind or thinks he has. Every
adult person consciously or uncon-
sciously diagnoses and prescribes gra-
tuitously for somebody sometimes, with
some kind of result. Popular medi-
cine like patent medicine is dangerous
and very expensive.
Tell almost any acquaintance that
YOU have a symptom of i'll and note
that the listener will presume to know
what is the diagnosis and what is the
treatment. The tendency to pose as a
medical practitioner is so common that
it can be safely said that there are as
many self-appointed doctors as there
are adults. Most of them are uncon-
sciously self-constituted usurpers of
medical authority. They know not
what they do. Hence the need of this

high honors from the Northwestern
University Law School, being admitted
to the Bar Immediately afterwards and
with extraordinary success he prac-
ticed law from that time until 1906
when he was elected judge of the NUM-
cipal Court, in which capacity he has
served up to the present time.
He is a member of the Hamilton
Club, the Illinois, the Chicago, Skat
Verbund, the Masonic Order, Mystic
Shrine, Consistory, Royal League and
Royal Order Of Moose.
Judge Wells is very popular with all
classes of his fellow citizens regardless
of their political affiliations and thou
sands of Afro-American voters will on
Monday, June 5, assist to elevate him
to the Superior Court bench.

was nominated; 19O4-1912- Republican

Rock River, near Oregon, Illinois. De-
voted past fifteen years to development
of farm along practical lines, dairy
ing, livestock breeding, general farm
ing and tree culture.
There is one other thing that must
be said to the great credit of Col.
Lowden and that is that he has always
been friendly disposed towards the
Colored people and as one of the direct
ors of the Pullman Palace Car Co.,
thousands and thousands of Colored
voters in all parts of this state will
either go up or down with him at the
state wide primaries, September Is,
and at the present time it looks as
though he will be the real winner in
the final race for the nomination for
governor of the great state of Illinois.

cost of living; fought for and deliv-
cred to the 15tkWard improved street
lighting; fought against the 209o cut
in wages of city employees; fought for
better street car transportation; intro
dueed the Cold Storage Ordinance
which prevents the storing of food
stuffs for the purpose of increasing
prices; forced the committee which had
in charge the sum of $220,000.00 for
the widows of fremen killed at stock
yards to distribute the money. He al
ways voted to further the interests of
labor movements and the betterment
of working conditions for men and
women and for living wage. Made
a special fight for the safety of rail-
road employees if electrifcation was
adopted, and while no safety devices
were at hand made a bitter fight oppos-
ing the Identification of railroads. He
introduced the resolution calling upon
the Mayor to appoint committee of
Council members and business men to
investigate the causes of the recent
Garment Makers Strike, to ascertain
the morals and working conditions of
the employees; which investigation
finally resulted in the improving of
both working conditions and wages.
At the time of the Eastland disaster
he Immediately wrote letters to all
families affected in his ward, warning
them not to turn their claims over to
any one, as he would see to it that
whatever damages were paid would be
paid to the proper survivors without
the deduction of attorneys fees and
other expenses, which was done.
He has been endorsed for Judge of
the Superior Court by the members of
the Chicago steam railroads employees
safety association, and has the good
will of all the street car employees.
Alderman Utpatel has many friends
among the Colored voters throughout
this city and Cook county who would
be greatly delighted to see him select
ed one of the Judges of the Superior
Court at the Judicial election, Monday
June 5th.

LABOR WAR AFTER
EUROPEAN WAR

The Brisbane (Australia) daily
labor organ, The Daily Standard,
says: ITO those who are who1e-souled
believers in the labor movement-we
mean the labor movement in it's big
gest. grandest 'sense-the future ap-
pears frought with tremendous
crisis. The postwar problems from
this standpoint are all too apparent.
The way to handle them is not so
clear The thinkers in the movement
seem to be agreed that sooner or
later, as a direct result Of this war,
there is going to be a revolution.
Some believe it is to be in the dim
distance, others believe it is already
at hand. It is not easy to gauge. So
much depends on the effect that war
will leave on the human mind. The
indications of history are that such a
crisis must be succeeded by a mighty
reaction. But, as already said, his
tory can hardly be taken as a clear
indicator in this matter. Reason sug-
gests that it is more likely that an
economic revolution may begin even
before the end of the war. Whatever
happens the future is bound to be full
of opportunities for the labor move
ment, but not unless the movement is
ready to seize them. Indeed, unless
the labor movement is organized it
may suffer more disastrous collapse
after the war than it did when the
war came.

WORKERS MUST UNITE
BEFORE WAR CLOSES

/ Max S. Hayes, a national leader in
the Socialist party, the International
Typographical union and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has issued
an appeal to workingmen, bidding
after the war.
I'm the struggle for mastery be-
tween the central powers and the al
lies" he said, "they intend to grind
their laboring classes to the utmost to
secure the cheapest possible produce
ton to capture the worlds markets.
I'm order to meet this cutthroat
competition at home and abroad the
American capitalists will naturally be
compelled to produce cheaper and
will use every means in their power
TO- beat down wages and lengthen the
hours Of labor If possible. And they
can do these very things where the
workers are unorgani:ed or. poorly
organized.
'Wages will be cut, hours Of labor
increased, machinery speeded up and
other oppressive conditions imposed,
and there will be no appeal or re-
dress unless powerful unions exist to
make fight to maintain the Ameri-
can standards of living. This sand
bagging of labor will be particularly
true in the machinery trades, cloth
ing and food producing industries and
other businesses that come into d.
rect competition with the foreign pro-
Ducts"
Mr.. Hayes admitted that so many
foreigners in this country would
flock back to do Europe's rebuilding
that wages here would at least re-
main at their present level and per-
haps rise slightly. But he said that
labor could take no chances, that the
cost o. living would probably rise
and that IF the workers do not have
unions to boost wages at the same
ratio they will be toiling under condi-
tons equivalent to wage reductions.
1T is positively stupid for nom
unionists to imagine that chance or
kind Providence will help them out of
the hole in which they vii. find
themselves after the war;

LOVE.

What is Love? IT'S just a bubble,
Floating round this lowly earth,
Causing maid and man more trouble
Than its pains and joys are worth.
When upon it's first detection,
Fair it is then to behold,
Filled within with deep affection,
Hinged without in sheens of gold.
Thus it goes on merrily; guided
On it's way by fate's own hand.
While affection grows inside it,
And it's splendor, too, expands.
Till at length, it's charm unbroken,
Stands the bubble faulty drawn;
Then a froWn-a harsh word spoken,
And tits done-the bubbles gone.
