with the following officers: Fred b.
Snyder, president; A. L. Sorter and

Grant Robinson, of Excelsior, as
vice-president; Edgar L. Noyes as
secretary, and E. L. Mattson, treas

Harry L. Scott made a demand for
the appointment of Negro on the
>committee. He was roundly applaud
ed and Atty's John Long and Albert
H. Hall requested that Negro be
appointed. The chairman promised to
deal fairly with all people and the
resolution as adopted show that the
work of the association is for the
welfare of humanity, regardless OF
class, color or creed.
Alderman Kean, of the resolution
committee made an eloquent and
patriotic address in presenting the
resolutions which pledged aid in gath
ering the national harvest, protec-
ton to the consumer against exces-
sive prices and a monopoly of food
stuffs, protection to the producer

production costs, to protect the
health and morals of enlisted men, to
aid morally and financially Americas

THE UNHAPPY TEUTON
BY BERTON BRALEY.

When the Prussan isn't busy with his spying
Or transmitting plots for mu der through Swede
Or when caught amid his schemlng and MS lying
He's highly moral person, yes indeed
When his most ambitious rises are detected
And it's shown that every law TO him is junk
When his secret correspondence Is collected
And we've got his crooked letters by the trunk.
He INDUCES in an extra righteous spasm
And excorates the methods that we used
And he shows a sudden wild enthusiasm
For the code Of human conduct he's abused.
For his Teuton minds unable 20 determine
That bit OF clever sleuthing, on the sly,
Though it's eminently proper for German
Isn't wicked for his enemies to try.
Though he holds himself responsible to no man
But the kaiser for his murders and his lies,
He regards piece OF spying by his foeman
With attitude Of virtuous surprise.
And So 'twxt showing righteous Indignation
Because his foes do things that he has done,
And facing universal detestation
The Prussian's lot Is not a happy one
