In Coming Election to Be
Given "Once Over"
By Labor

Candidates for legislative and judi
cial office at the coming summer pri-
maries and fall election will have to
turn the light on themselves for in
spection by organized labor.
Such decision was decided upon at
a meeting held at the labor temple
last Friday night of representatives
from the Middletown Trades and La
Dor Council and the Cooperative
Trades and Labor Council of Hamil-
ton, at which time an organization
was formed of legislative and judi
cial committee for Butler county.
Election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: Edward Sims, Carpenters
Union, president; George BRANDED
Metal Polishers' Union, vice president,
Stanley Ogg, Molders' Union, secre-
ary-treasurer.
Candidates for office who are mem
bers of trades unions and those who,
by their past record, show that labor
has received square deal from them
in the past, will be sponsored by the
committee. In other words, labor pro-
poses to be for it's friends and agains,
its enemies in the elections to come.
Frank Holt, Chas. Baynes and
Stanley Ogg were appointed CON-
mittee to obtain the names and rec
ords of all proposed candidates, and
report on them as far as possible at

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
~ II. IRVING KING
TOUCH IRON

"TICK tack never change back
= touch old iron," accompanied by
the appropriate action, is venerable
form Of binding contract among boys
after they have made swap" and
may be frequently heard in the rural
districts among school children at
play.
This is 4 vestige Of the ancient be-
lief In the efficacy Of cold iron In
warding Off witches and other evil
spirits When man 6rst tried to work
iron he undoubtedly had much trOu-
BILE with II and naturally attributed
his failures to the Interference Of evil
spirits, thus starting the iron supersti-
tion which has persisted ever since,
exhibiting itself in various forms
among different races The black
smiths Of Pompeii, because they
feared the spirits would be after
them for working always in the mate
rial most hated by the spirits, placed
powerful amulets over their doors ::
SOlOmOn's Temple was built with
neither hammer nor Ak nor any tool
Of iron" and so was the sacred Sub
licsan bridge at Rome which, also, had
to be kept In repair without the use
Of metal. An enlightened East Indian
prince not long ago objected to the
use Of iron In constructing houses in
his domains believing that 1t would
be followed by cholera and other epi-
demics-the spirits revenging them
selves for the using Of their abhOrred
metal
On the other hand some races rea-
soned it out that II the evil spirits
so hated iron, iron might be good
thing to defy them with. In certain
parts of North Africa there Is no such
efficacious charm against witches as
piece of IRON The Scottish fisher
man when he hears shipmate bias
pheming, cries out. Gold IRON" and
all the men in the boat touch the
nearest piece Of iron they can reach.
That brings the magic metal into the
case and scares off the evil spirits
who might pounce upon the blasphem-
err When the sch0OlbOyS touch cold
iron to bind their contract they In
woke the aid of the metal against the
evil spirits which might try 10 tempt
them to break It,
