JUDGE SLACK SUSTAINED.

The court OF appeals has finally
decided that the Democratic candi
dates in Ohio county, who failed 10
file with the County Clerk the GER
tifcascs of their nomination, cannot
get their names upon the ballot, ana
there will virtually be no election
in that county next Tuesday, the
Republicans getting the Offices by
default.
In this the higher court fully sus-
tains Judge Slack, who guided by
n number Of presidents, rendered
the same decision several days ago.
Neither Judge Slack, nor the court
of appeals, could do otherwise than
decide the case upon the strict, tech
meal construction of the law. The
Democratic candidates had failed, in
the time prescribed by the law, 20
file their certificates, and there was
no relief for them.
ANY criticism that may have been
llldut OF JUCSt NidCh bNNauSt VI MS
action in the case must fall to the
earth harmless, for the court of ap-
peals has indicated his construction
of the law. The matter could have
gone directly to the court of ap-
peals from Judge Stacks court if the
Democrats OF Ohio county had first
obtained temporary injunction
from the circuit clerk of their coun-
ty, which Slack would have dis
solved, thus leaving the matter open
to appeal.
Ii is unnecessary to say that the
people OF Judge Stacks district have
the utmost confidence in his ability
and perfect fairness in deciding
concrete question of law. No polit-
ical feeling could swerve him. The
Messenger has often attested its
faith in him. Judge Slack is, on the
bench and off the bench. a fair man.

A Land Torpedo.

The submarine torpedo is the most
destructive weapon OF the sea. Then
why not a land torpedo? A cheap
vehicle could be made to carry high
explosive mine. a huge shrapnel, or
a missile which would be a eombina-
ton OF both. Where necessary, pro-
vide the vehicle with caterpillar
wheels and with a wire-cutter, and
dispatch II toward the enemy, over
shell craters and through entangle-
ments into the opposing trenches.
There the charge could be exploded,
and the men and property within
blasted into oblivion.
The originator of this plan is Fee
Xix Sabah of Philadelphia. The ground
of "No-Man's Land" being fiat, ordi-

How Strength Increases.

The strength of males increases
rapidly from IL to 10 years, and at
rate similar to that of the weight,
and more slowly and regularly up 10
80 years, after which il declines nj

years. The strength OF females in

MINISTER'S OBJECT TO
KNITTING IN CHURCH

Springfield, Ill.,, Nov. 10.-Knit-
ting socks for soldiers may be a
splendid example of patriotism, but
it is entirely out of place when mixed
with religion.
This is the universal opinion of
Springfield and other Illinois pastors,
when the suggestion of Rev. McEl-
veen, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church of Evanston, ILL.,, that
the fair sex bring their knitting with
them to church on Sunday was made.
II brought food of protests in Pc
oria as well as here. The ministers
declared to do so would take the
mind from the devotional exercises,
lessening the interest in religion and
causing an irreparable injury to true
patriotism, as defined by the church.

No French immortality.

The English have always had
vague idea that France is an i'm
moral country. To the eye of a mere
visitor France is the most moral of
the four great powers-France, Rus
sia, England, Germany; has the
strongest family life and the most
seemly streets.
The slow fly amorousness of the
British working classes evidently
does not suit the quicker blood of
France. There is just enough of the
south in the French to keep demon
stration of affection away from day
light. A certain school of French
novelist, with high-cOlored tales Of
Partisan life, is responsible for the
reputation of his country. Whatever
The Frenchman about town may be
he seems by TO means typical of the
many millions of Frenchmen who
are not about town. And if French
women, as l have heard Frenchmen

mothers in the world and their
"lightness" is not vulgarly obtrud-
ed.
They say that many domestic
tragedies will be played at the con-
clusion of the war. If so they will
not be played alone, and compared
with the tragedies Of fidelity played
all these dreadful years they will be
as black rabbits to brown for num-
bers For the truth on morality in
France We must go back, expect,
to that general conclusion about the
French characterize swift passag
from head TO heart and back again,
which, prohibiting extremes of puri-
tanism and of license, preserves a
sort of balance.

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually taken, the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of 50 or
80, you will find that he is a light
eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and will feel
the need of Chamberlain's Tablets
to correct the disorder. These tab
lets do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and enable
it To perform its functions natural
". They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels. m

Especial Correspondenee.)

PUEBLO, Colo, June Articles
of incorporation of the International
Union Oil and Refining company of
Pueblo, made up of prominent labor
leaders of Colorado, were filed yester-
day with the secretary of state, at
Denver. The holdings of the company
are situated north of the Arkansas
river in what is known as the Teller
tract, about six miles west of Pueblo.
Arrangements for sinking a well a
short distance north of the Arkansas
river already have been made and the
machinery has been ordered.
The incorporators of the company
are S. S. Bellesfeld, Pueblo postmas-
ter; L. A. Tanquary, celery grower of
Pueblo, and Ed. Anderson, secretary of
the Colorado State Federation of La
Dor, Denver. The trio, as well as all
the men interested in the company are
prominent in labor circles of the
West. They will sink a well in a struc-
ture that is the same as that in which
the Big Eight company now is bor-
ing, Just south of the Arkansas river,
in the same township, and they mean
business. 1t is significant that this
same structure has been selected by
the Eureka Oil company as location
for a well, for which machinery now is
on the way to Pueblo. This well will
be drilled a short distance north of
the first well of the International Un-
ion company and the well of the Big
Eight company.
Has 5000 Acres Of Land.
The International Union company is
the first oil company 10 be composed
of union labor men in the West, and
its success will be watched with in
terest. 1t offers a chance for union
labor men to invest in a company Of
their own.
Nearly 5000 acres Of land has been
leased from B. F. Kope-.ik. in the Tel
Ter tract. just north OF the Arkansas
river, a few miles west # Pueblo it is
understood, and Their the activities
are to take place. The company is
capitalized at $4,000, with 100000
shares at a nominal figure.
When the International Union COM
pany starts boring there will be three
wells being drilled in the same arch,
west of Pueblo and that formation
will then be given a thoro test. If
either of the companies strikes oil 1t
will mean much to the others, as the
formation is identical and the dome
will be given a complete trial.

PRINTERS PLACE
2PCT. ASSESSMENT
PREPARE FOR ANY FUTURE
EMERGENCY.
viii Create Fund TO Use, if Neces-
sary, in Gaining New Wage Scales;
Officers for Term Were In
stalled Last Sunday.

Declaring an emergency to exist, a
per cent assessment on earnings of
all members was levied by Denver
Typographical Union No. 49 in regular
monthly session last Sunday afternoon.
This action was taken upon recommen-
dation of the executive committee and
when put to a secret vote was adopted
unanimously The assessment begins
with the week of June IL and is to be
collected each weekly pay day by
chapel chairmen. 1t will continue in
force until both the proposed job and
newspaper scales have been success
fully negotiated.
At the previous meeting in May q
new job scale providing for So per
week increase, effective September l.
was adopted. The present newspaper
scale expires January l, 1918. The
union considered it advisable to be pre-
pared for these contingencies and
therefore adopted Measures to create
fund which would augment benefits
paid by the International Union in
event strikes are necessary to enforce
the new wage scales.
Would Be Novel Event.
A strike of printers in Denver
would be n novelty indeed. yet in
these cataclysmic days the unexpected
ceases to surprise. Denver Typo
graphical Union has not had strike
in nearly half n century, having al
ways been successful in securing con-
tracts without much of struggle.
Denver was the first city under juris-
diction of the International Typo
graphical Union TO establish an eight
hour day in the book and job branch,
and the precedent established exer-
cised much influence toward final
adoption of the shorter work day thru
out the country.
During recent years, however. sew
eral of the old and proven friends of
the union among the employing print
ers have died and a new regime holds
forth today. At any rate the union
decided to be prepared for any emer-
gency and voted to levy the per cent
assessment All moneys thus collect
ed will be kept in a separate fund by
the secretary-treasurer and in the
event it is not needed each member
will receive back all that he has paid
in.
Six printing trade unions of Denver
are negotiating new wage scales to

MRS. JESSE ARMISTEAD CHOSEN
INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT.
Atlanta Auxiliary No. l.. Pioneer in

>
Much satisfaction is expressed in
Atlanta over the election of Mrs. Jesse
W. Armistead of Atlanta, TO the high
est office in the gift of the Woman's
Auxiliary to the International Typo
graphical Union.
Mrs. Armistead has been an active
and hari-working member of the At
lanta Auxiliary No. for years, and
by her tact, ability and sweetness of
disposition has endeared herself to
every member of the Auxiliary and of
the great and virile union of which
the auxiliary is so potent an adjunct.
Whatever work was to be done-and
there is always much and valuable
work to be done by the Woman's Aux
iliary - Mrs. Armistead performed
with striking ability no less than with
jealous industry. With the group of
charming matrons allied with her, ac-
tivities have been resultful of great
good to the printers union, and the
present splendid appearance of the
cemetery lot wherein rest so many
printers is due almost exclusively to
the efforts of Mrs. Armistead and her
associates.
Now that she has been called to n
wider sphere of activity and influence,
her work will be international in char
acter and the international Auxiliary
will profit. by her splendid leadership.
Mrs. Armistead, who is the wife of
Jesse w. Armistead. one of the most
active and influential members of At
lanta Typographical Union, is also
active in the order of the Eastern
Star, the branch of Free Masonry con-
Quoted by the wives and daughters of
Masons, and only recently was elected
n delegate to the Macon Conclave of
the Eastern Star.
A woman devoted to her family and
noted housekeeper, Mrs. Armistead
still finds time to devote her talents
for organization and helpful work in
many directions.
The Journal of Labor congratulates
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Inter
national Typographical Union upon
the splendid choice they have made in
making her its executive chief, and
Mrs. Armistead upon
her selection to lead this splendid body
of women who add much to the joy of
living in their chosen field of endeavor
