The election of officers of the cen
tral body Tuesday night was tame
affair, considering some of the cleo
tions in the past. We are of the
opinion that every officer of the cen
tral body elected Tuesday night will
do all he or she can to give the
trades unionists a good administra-
ton.
A. E. Eggleston, member of Car
pepnters' and Joiners' Union, has
again been selected as president. This
is Eggleston's third term and the rea-
son he was again selected is because
he has been absolutely on the square.
Louis Schalk, member of Molders'
Union, was elected vice-president.
Schalk has had enough experience in
the labor movement lately to qualify
him as a good officer. Henry Brinker
has again been selected as Recording
Secretary and is a member of Cigar
Makers Union. Miss Magdalene
Hines, a tried and true blue member
of the Textile Workers Union, has
been selected by the council delegates

Lady Cried
Reporter Laughed,
AND THEN

Sad and amusing incidents inter
mingled on the occasion of the depar-
ture of one of the selective drafted
men for Camp Greenleaf last week.
If you see newpaper man going
down the street whose ears appear
blistered as though they had been
afire you will know that he is the fel-
low this article refers to. 1t seems
that when our soldier boys left the
city on last Thursday the increment
was one select shy. This select was
down in Kentucky and failed to re-
ceive his notice in time and didn't
arrive here until Friday Arrange
ments were made and accompanied by
a member of the draft board he went
to the B. & O. station to get train to
Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga. At the depot
waiting to bid him farewell, was a
lady friend or relative, we are not
sure which. This lady happened to
be one of those built for size, one of
IllOSC lllelG lidIQIS dlNIi oIlilb llSGlI
on for material, every inch woman
and one who can take care of herself.
AS the time for the train drew near
the lady's feelings overcame her and
she started weeping. The newspaper
man referred to above, standing
near started laughing, that is, mind
you, he started to laugh, when she
caught him at it. Man! My, oh my!
She started off with" You little gray
haired if you had some one
going away that is close to you you'd
cry too" And what she added to this
was plenty. He kept backing away
all the time, he never in his life want
ed to hear three or four bands play
ing "The Star Spangled Banner,
America" and "Hail Columbia, all
at the same time, and finally ducked
around the corner of the depot and
escaped. He will never forget it, nor
win the spectators.

as their corresponding secretary.
Sorry to say that she was the only
officer elected that had opposition, but
she defeated her opponent by hand
some majority. Miss Hines has had
some experience as union official
in her own organization and with
this experience she cannot help from
making good as corresponding secre-
tary.
Mabel Warren who has held the
office of financial secretary for sew
eral years, comes from the grand old
/. T. u. No. 200. Since holding the
office of financial secretary of the
central body she has not missed one
meeting. Her work has always been
satisfactory and up to the minute.
VIM. Ballett, one of the leading lights
of local Plumbers Union, has been
reelected for guide. Bill has led
many of the delegates up to the altar
and the neat way in which he puts
them over the top, won for him the
office of guide without opposition.
John Hartman, member of the Ma
chinists' Union, was again elected
doorkeeper.
Frank Holt, a hustling member of
the Painters and Decorators craft,
and George Kraft, who comes from
that hustling organization of Metal
Polishers, with Frank "Sam" Hilpol-
steiner, have been elected as trustees.
This trio will look after the halls and
the property of the council for the
next year and they have already met
to consider some changes about the
place.
With this set Of new officers at
the head Of the affiliated organiza-
tions we hope much good will be ac-
complished for the laboring class
throughout the city during the ensuing
year. Here's success to the new Off
GERS of the central body.

lives as cat but we purpose to hit
it nine times running, if necessary.
Make no mistake, this internal thing
has backing. There are still profit
GERS in this country who would put
their grandmcthers in yoke to do
plowing, were there percentage of
money gain in it and their own repre-
sentation in congress.
True, it has been found that child
labor is an essential in this war, and
the children most assuredly are at
work. There is hardly a school in
all this land whose children are not
knitting and raising funds for the
Red Cross and war stamps. 1t is
solid substantial and strenuous war
work. But it means pleasure, justifi-
able pride and patriotism to the child.
1t means a higher citizenship in the
future. 1t is work that uplifts soley.
We are conscripting our men be-
tween the ages of q and 81 for war
work. Before we conscript the child
rem for war work, before we return
them to the lash of the taskmaster in
field or factory, We'll conscript and
offer upon the alter of sacrifice all
our men between the ages of q and
81. Not until all American manhood
is represented by vast heap of sac
rifcial ashes will we return to rob-
berry of children of childhood for
private profit, war or otherwise. 1t is
even shameful, reproach upon our
national legislature, that, in this time
of critical issue between civilization
and barbarism, there is any necessity
at all to discuss the matter

We don't quite get Mr. Andrews.
Does he mean that all union men are
ruffians or that all ruffans are union
men. Mr.. Andrews aspired to office
some years ago, but the voter who
tolls couldn't see it that way, and
was so emphatic about it that Allen
saw and knew that his chance of ever
reaching that, which is the ambition
of every attorney, to sit on the bench
and be called Judge, was gone,and he
has been sour ever since.

Democrats everywhere are asking
the question:: when or how did our
party name, select or nominate can
didates for the office of Judge of the
Common Pleas Court" No one
seems able to answer and we know
nothing of it other than what we
read in one of the evening papers of
last Saturday which stated that the
present incumbents are the candidates
of the democratic and republican
parties.
It seems, too, that there are some
republicans asking the same question
the democrats are asking. They want
to know.
The democrats are wanting to know
who are the few who constitute them
selves the whole democratic party
and select the party candidates for
them.
1t should be distinctly understood
before going further, that there is
nothing, not one word against the
present judges, Clarence Murphy and
Walter S. Harlan, nor is this a fight
against these two gentlemen, but the
democrats, like few republicans, be-
lieve it only fair that this matter
should remain open until the time for
filing petitions expires
True, most of the attorneys in the
county who would be eligible to be
candidates for these offices signed
petitions urging the present judges
to stand for reelection, but there are
few who didn't sign these petitions
and it would be only fair and just
that they be given chance, if they
so desire, to enter the race. That is
what democracy stands for.
Then another thing, while many of
them did sign the petitions, yet, some
one of them may change his mind and
be candidate anyhow A democrat
is darn queer animal at times and
it wouldn't be the first time that one
of them has signed some ones peti-
tion for office and then announced
himself for the same office. While
a democrat may be a queer animal,
it may also be said that he is wise
one. There is an old adage that a
wise man sometimes changes his mind
while fools never do. A democrat
lives right up to this rule-when it
suits.
But anyway, there are many demo-
Gratis who are bucking against any
one paper and a few people naming
their ticket Let's wait and see. Give
all chance, that's DEMOCRACY.
