tance were discussed. Four en-

Mr. Lintner, the hustling manager of

laid over till next meeting night.
A matter of Importance to the

Here is shown a picture of the new
camp for tubercular children on water
works hfll, and which was dedicated
last Sunday afternoon. The dedica-
tory ceremonies were truly Impress
i've, and to listen to the various speak
ers on the work which has been done
and is being done that the afflicted
little ones be restored to good health,
without ones heart-strings drawing a
little tighter, one must have heart
of stone.
1t was indeed proud moment to
those members of organized labor
present when Lou Nau, chairman of
the building committee, announced
the completion of the building and on
behalf of organized labor presented
it to the Public Health League, and
then for an hour or more listened to
the speakers laud organized labor for
it's unselfsh endeavor. Every union
man and woman present swelled with
pride during that hour.
A fine program was mapped out
for the dedicatory services. Pre-
vious to the exercises a 30-minute
continuous band concert was render
ed. The music was furnished by the
local musicians union as their con-
tribution to the good cause, Shoupe's
band the Hamilton City band taking
part. The music discoursed by the
two bands was excellent and much en-
joyed by the many present.
The ceremonies started with the
giving of the invocation by Rev. o. 0.

Brethren Church. Jack Scheaf, chair
man of the kiddies' camp committee,

ALL PROSPER
When Workers and Farm
erS Are Well Off
By CLAUDE d. RITTER
President, Commercial Law League
of America

President, Commercial Law League
of America
What more sacred duty can we
have than keeping the citizenship of
our country at the highest level of
intelligence, health and virtue?
Our inheritance is great, and we
must be worthy.
We must protect and preserve
America and Americans.
To do so, our gates must be closed
to a class of immigrants who have
been coming in recent years; who are
literally watering our nations life
blood
We must receive only those, who
by intelligence and virtue. by thrift
and loyalty, are worthy of receiving
the equal advantages of the priceless
gift of American citizenship.
Opposed to this policy, we have a
class of money-mad employers of la
Dor, fortunately limited in numbers,
who are insisting that we open our
doors to cheap foreign labor. They
do not realize the effect such policy
would have on our citizenship, or else
put money before country.
When our farmers and wage earn
ers are well off, it is certain that all
others will be well off too, and it is a
matter for hearty congratulation that
wages in this country are higher than
in any part of the world, and as a
natural consequence, the standard OF
living is higher.
Every effort of our lawmakers
should be bent to secure the perman-
ency of this condition of things, and
it's improvement whever possible;
therefore, it follows that our labor
must be protected from the presence
in this country, Of laborers repre-
senting a standard Of living so de-
pressed that they can undersell oul
men in the labor market and drag
them to lower level.
All persons should be excluded who
are below certain standard of eco
nomic fitness to enter our industrial
field as competitors with American

electricians and painters But not to
these men alone is all the credit due
for the camp, nor do they attempt to
claim all the credit, but to all classes
is credit due. Those others who as
sisted in the work, those who contrib
uted cash to purchase building ma
terials and those who contributed ma
terial direct, to those also is great
credit due for establishing the camp.
But there was one man absent
from the dedication Sunday and who
was greatly missed. Chairman
Northway made special reference to
this man and paid great tribute
to him, saying that he had worked
harder than any one man toward the
success of building the camp. And
that man is Herman Perpingon, busi-
ness agent of the Carpenters Union.
f1llu llCl man L Sl plIlSOil Has worked
hard for the camp. Day and night
he worked for the camp. Always first
on the ground, especially Saturdays
and Sundays when the men worked,
and was always the last to leave.
Perpingon was out of the city Sun
day, however, and some say that it
was modesty that caused him to leave.
Such work as Herman Perpingon's
can't go unrewarded, however, and
some day, sometime, he will get it.
The boy scouts also played great
part in the success of the dedication
ceremonies. Troop 2 and Troop Is
did splendid work in the handling of
the traffic Sunday afternoon, and in
many other ways did they help, for
which they are to be much commend

Chairman Scheaf made a splendid
talk and "shot" one home when, with
living illustration before him, q
young lad of ten years of age, suf-
fering from an advanced stage OF
tuberculosis, he showed those present
the real necessity of work for tuber-
cular afflicted in such manner as
to forever impress itself on the minds
of those present.
Chairman Northway in his opening
remarks laid stress on the wonderful
spirit of the community. Lou Nau
chairman of the building committee
in a neat speech turned the building
over to the Health League through
its president, Sam w. Love- Presi-
dent Love in accepting the building
