condition financially. We will
publish the report.
A nominating committee was
appointed and a recess of five
minutes declared. The committee
reported the following ticket:
President-Geo. T. Ayres.
First Vice President-M. j.
Murphy.
Second Vice President-A. j.
Thomas.
Secretary-H. j. Merdink.
Assistant Secretary. M.
Brownell.
Treasurer. j. White.
President Brozich was renomi
mated but absolutely refused to
again serve, fact regretted by
all the members of the Club. He
has been consistent worker in the
organization and since that time
has taken strong personal inter-
est in the Club, putting in time
and money in it's interests. Mr..
Brozich was of the opinion that
the duties of mayor to which he
will be elevated on Jan. 1, might
conflict with his actions as head of
the Commercial Club and he did
not feel that he could do justice to
both the Club and the city. Mr..
Ayres has held the position as
first vice president the past year
and he was boosted to the pres
idency. That he will make a good
officer is foregone conclusion.
The Club is very fortunate in the
selection of it's officers as all are
considered pushers and town
builders.
Adjournment was taken to Jan
uary 10th when it is expected the
new list of committees will be an
|nounced. The dues for the COM
ing year are also payable to the
secretary. The dues will be 81 a
year for all and it is hoped that
every taxpayer and citizen of Ely
and surrounding country will be-
come members by paying his dues
promptly to the secretary.
1t is also the desire of the Club
that all those who have changes
in the various laws to suggest to
make their suggestions at once
to the temporary legislative COM
mittee appointed at the last meet
ing and do so at once as the rep
resentatives wish to have every
thing in working order Eat the
opening of the legislature in Jan
uary. The Tower Commercial
Club has also appointed a COM
mittee who will meet with the Ely
committee and work together for
the common good of the Vermilion
range and state.

Over thousand children and

on Christmas afternoon from l
o o'clock to S O'Clock with a contin-
uous performance of five reels of
pictures at the Rex Theatre as the
guests of Ely Lodge No. 173,
Knights of Pythias. The show
house was filled to the doors three
times during the afternoon and the
programs given were of the best.
The show opened with the Battle

folks were we'll pleased and behaved
themselves admirably.

Geo. T. Ayres Elected President
for the Coming Year.

A very enthusiastic meeting of
the Ely Commercial Club was held
Tuesday evening at the City Hall.
Considering the several other at
fractions on tap at various places
the same evening, the attendance
was better than expected.
President Brozich called the
meeting to order and stated that
several very important measures
were to be taken up in addition to
the election Of officers for the en-
suing year. One Of the matters
necessary to act on at once was
the appointment of a legislative
committee to act in connection
with the members of the senate
and house from this district and
suggest necessary changes in the
present laws and also the making

NO END IN SIGHT.

Although the Entente Allies are supremely confident in their dis matches that the end of the war is in sight and that they are pressing the Germans and Austrians so hard that the construction will soon be uncomfortable, their declarations that the end of the war is in sight may be just turned down as of no significance.
 There is no more sign of an end ing today than there was a year ago, and although the Allies are on an offensive everywhere and chro- nicling gains large or small, even the largest are so relatively unlm- portant that they are not affecting on the whole the impregnable posi- tion that the Teutons occupy.
 The policy of attrition is a slow policy at best, and it would be man. ifestly ridiculous to expect an imme- diate crumbling of any so adaman- tine defense as the GerHdhS hdVo built up.
 This is world war, titanic in it's destructiveness and also titanic in the area of it's activities. There is no reason to expect that it would be short in duration.
 Besides those who believe that the German defense may fall to pieces might with profit consider the story of the Six Years War un- der Frederick the Great Ihe Prussian ruler and his people h~ld out with greater tenacity of purpose than did any of his enemies and it is not without probability that

SAME EFFECT.

A German scientist has made an elaborate investigation concerning the mental consequences of hunger and he sums up the results of his work in declaring that the clinical and experimental observations he had made have proved that the phc- nomena due to over-indulgence in alcohol and those due to depriva- tion and lack of nutrition are somewhat extensively in correspond ence. This matter is certainly worth investigation and certainly should receive more attention. So while it is an excellent work to destroy evils of drinking, still more import ant is it to utterly obliterate hung CT which has just the same effect.
 Hunger has done more to retard labor progress than most people are aware of. The mental effect of lack of nutrition is to deprive the victim of considerable will power, self control and a tendency to o-obey sudden and irresistible impulses.
 Moreover it is known that the ef- feet of this condition of hunger if that condition had any prolonged existence, is much more protracted than the effects of drink.
 It is told of Samuel Johnson that even when he had plenty in after life, he never got over the result of his former starved condition and his animalism at the table shock ed his most intimate friends. He ate like a wild beast, drops of sweat stood out on his forehead when he beheld his favorite dish, he attacked his food with a growing noise like a famished wolf. And there is hard ly any doubt if the physical conse- quences of lack of nutrition had been so lasting, the mental effects must also have been no less pro- found.
 There is no end to the evil conse- quences of poverty. They stare the nation and the people in the face always. They exaggerate evil effects and they intensity human suffering. The evil that it does lives long after it, and there is no good what ever to be inferred with it's bones.

ARBITRATION.

Nothing has directed attention to arbitration as a measure of relief in labor strife as has the railroad brotherhood demands.
 For a number of years they have settled all disputes by arbitration. In not one of those settlements have they been able to secure any thing like their original demands and in not a few of them they lost ont. It has only been an effort upon the part of the higher officials to make it appear that they won which prevented the rank and file imme- diately denouncing the covenant had been reached by the arbitration board.
 Accordingly arbitration is in such high disfavor that w. s. Carter the president of the Brotherhood of Enginemen and Bremen says that at best it is a gamble, and cyni- cally suggests that they draw straws instead of going through any elabo- rate inquiry as to the rights or wrongs at issue.
 The trouble with arbitration is a trouble that is experienced in all judicial or quasi judicial determina- tions of questions wherein so diver gent interests as those of employer and employee are involved. And the simple fact has been that so far no such impartial board has ever considered any labor demand.
 The difficulty, and it is so mani fest that question of the facts is impossible certainly does accentu- ate the class nature of the labor movement. And what is all right for an employer, is considered all wrong for the employee or vice versa as the sympathies of the board of arbitration lies.
 TO this distrust is added an inn patience at the affectation of free dom from bias which these boards regardless of their private feelings manifest on all occasions. But they are none the less men subject to the feelings, sentiments, influences and emotions of the class socially to which they belong.
 Occasionally there is an eXcep- tion. Occasionally we perceive men engaged in adjudicating class ques- lions with a fearless independence although we might not without req son anticipate quite another point of view. But these are such rare birds that they can rightfully be considered the exception that proves the rule.

SWAPS RESULTS IN
CHICAGO ELECTION

CHICAGO, April with out-crop-
pings of violence imminent in practi-
cally every ward, Chicago's annual
municipal election opened at o'clock
today with both sides claiming vic
tory and neither sure of the outcome.
Voters faced an unprecedented stu
alton in Chicago's politics-already
famous for the bitterness with which
it is waged. The suicide of DR.. Theo-
dore Sachs, head Of the municipal
sanitarium, was caused, his friends
charge, by political greed and in
trigue; the sudden activity of the
thousands of women, who heretofore
have exhibited only a passive interest
in city government; the storm that
has been bowling for weeks around
the Thompson administration all
have combined to make todays elec-
tion the most bitter in the city's his

HEAVY BUDGET
ASKED TO CARRY
ON HOSTILIT|ES

LONDON. April 4-That the Brit
ish government expects the war to last
at least one year more was shown to-
day when Reginald Mckenna, chan
cellor of the exchequer, introduced the
budget. The budget provides for war
expenses to carry on hostilities
throughout the whole fiscal year. The
actual expenditure as set forth in the
budget at $7,795, 100000, which was
s155, 100000 less than estimated by
Mr. McKenna in his budget speech in
the. house of commons last September.
The chancellor has estimated the ex-
penses at $7,795, 100000.

COUNTY CANCELS
LAST OF BONDS
ON COURT HOUSE

The last cent of debt on the Wayne
county court house. which was built
twenty-five years ago, was paid today
by County Treasurer Chamness on or
der from the county commissioners
The bond amounting to $20,457.56, ins
cluding interest, was paid off. The
check was made to the First National
bank of this city and the American
Exchange National bank of New York
This was the last of the issue of re-
funding bonds, this accounting for the
$475.56 interest. .-.
The court house was built in 1890
and cost approximately 100000. The
original bond issue was for 100000,
and the refunding bonds. which were
issued to cover incidental expenditures
such as furnishings and extras.
amounted to $4,000. The original
bond issue was paid off several years
ago, but the action of the commission
ers Monday afternoon in allowing the
claim completely wipes out the debt.
By payment of the last installment,
on which Z cents tax levy has been
made for the last twenty years, the
commissioners will be enabled to use
this amount for purposes of paying
bonds on the south side and Main
street bridges, which are under con-
temptation, without raising the tax
levy.

JOBLESS WOMEN
Want PLACES:
men AT WORK

There are more unemployed women
in the city seeking work than there
are men according to John Melpolder,
secretary of the Social Service bureau,
which is being used generally as an
employment bureau as we'll as for the
dispensing of charity. Conditions in
the city throughout the winter months
have been much better than last year,
he said, and at the present time there
are only a few men in the city who
are unable to find satisfactory work
Many women apply to the bureau,
most of whom are looking for jobs in
factories and restaurants. he said.
Because of the scarcity of work for
women in Richmond, where a COM
paratively small per cent. of women
are employed, the question of unem-
ployed wemen becomes larger than
that of unemployed men, the secretary
said.
when the shops are opened here
that are reported to be coming, men
will have to be imported to the city,
said Mr.. Melpolder. practically all
the skilled labor is now employed and
any new shops necessarily mean in
creased population in this city
"Of course there are many men in
Richmond, like every other city, who
would not work if it was offered to
Them said the secretary. This class
will always be here no matter how
many factories might come"
