men who debauch town councils or legislatures ih order to defeat laws for the just protection of > J men and women and profiting r by it become generous contribu I tors to or maintainers of the in I stitutions presided over by the 1 intellectual sissies who are too incompetent too ignorant or too cowardly to tell the truth t Of course Judge Lindsey should I not have made that disclosure t tt wal s t so pessimistic of him dont you l know It exhibited so little con I fidence in human nature canlI you see It could do no good to be sure and only tendedlto im I pair the simple confidence of the adolescent in great and good men M who however they get their for I r tunes do keep out of jail one t must admit and do spend them iso generously for objects that I 5 each person applauds I Nevertheless we sympathize with We honor Judge Lindsey c his righteous wrath at those whi f ted sepulchers of men whose in iquities he exposed and their C whitelivered apologists for whom he showed so much wholesome contempt If he had saIds Damn said it in italics and c repeated it in capital letters still we should feel for him and honor p him And we will remind both o him and the gentle critics he e fi might have offended with awordI that has unfortunately been de t based to profane uses that he h f would have had the best of Chris tian sanction for its use in this 1 connection There was One

Discretion Conserva tism Their Policy Nothing affords more conclusive evi dence of tho high plane which has been reached by the organized labor movement in America than the ed 1actor and manifest ability of the men who are now at the head of unions and who for less salary than they would receive in other fields of en deavor are devoting their entire tlmo to furthering tho common cause of the cryt from the old time much maligned walking delegate who in years gone by represented the popular Idea of labor Union authority to the present Ideal national labor official a man of such manifest intelligence tact and broadmlndcdness that he can command the respeect of every capitalist or em ployer with whom Le may come in contact even though the latter be not in sympathy with his ideas The call her of most of cur twentieth century labor leaders is further attested by the discretion with wfclch they use heir vast power Although the growth of the various divisions of the labor army enables them to wield an Influence little dreamed of a few years ago most of these captains of organ Ized labor are conservative rather than 0rudlcal in policy a tendency attested by the fact that nowadays they con sent to a general strike only as a last resort Indeed one of tie chief func tions of the modern leader seems to be to prevent strikes not to prccipl i tate them From tho standpoint of the union l 1 workingmen the most conspicuous re sult of the new era of labor leadership J is found in the conduct of the move tent on sound business principles j When the present scboolof labor g 1 chieftains began to make their pros once felt la executive positions many of tho unions national as well as 10 4 cal were In a deplorable condition Comparatively amall membership In most instances gave them very limited j Influence and too often there was slip c shod management that manifested it self in ill kept records lax conduct of correspondence etc Even more seri ors was the indifference in the collcc r lion of duea shortcomings in financial policy that necessitated many of the organizations leading a hand to mouth existence whereas other national bod ies were heavily In debt when the present officials took charge Now all I this Is changed The average national I headquarters arc conducted on up toi date economical business policies and secretarial officials keep their records by means of card index and other SI I lug systems that are the peer of any thing to be found la the corporate or banking world Better still union la s bor finances arc on a sound basis many t ot the great national bodies having ou j band surplus funds In excess of a 1 quarter of n million dolors each Yet other evidence ot tin farslghted s Judgment of the field marshals now In g command of the labor forces is found the extent to which they are sub I scribing to the theory of cooperation i ou the most farreuchlng scale The modern tendency in the corporation and commercial world toward great aggregations of capital Is being met e with correspondingly potent consolir a c elution of the organized labor forcesc This disposition of the leading lulxir I spokesmen to engage In effective team r wurk has uaqueatlonably been due InI Mine measure to that knitting together Interests which has resulted In the t tremendous growth lu recent years of s that comprehensive country wide orS gauiziitlon the American Federation of Labor nn allied army of craftsmen of r classes that Is nowjnore than t000 I 000 strong It Is not solely attributable t this Influence however for there are some very powerful labor organiza tions which arc not affiliated with the big federation as for Instance the KtilghtH of Lnbor and the Brother hoods of nailnbad Engineers Conduct ors Trainmen nnd Firemen with n total memberiblp of 170000 workers The leaders of these Independent bod V have for the most part however 1 become imbued with the spirit of the age and all of them may be found a working shoulder to shoulder for any reform that promises benefit for labor jj generalT As the prcjtfdent for many years past of the American Federation of p Labor Samuel Gompers Is doubtless f entitled to recognition as the foremost fc American labter leader nnd certainly o champion of the rights of the toll era has ever had a stronger hold upon < y his followers Prior to each flUCSd d site annual comentlon of the federa tion there are rumors afloat of at a icmpts to unseat Dampers but when Q the great labor conference convenes 0 each autumu it to always found that the veteran executive Is the choice of 1 large a proportion of the labor host that his election to leadership Is In ef fret unanimous There Is no doubt s thnt much of Gompcrs strength lies the recognition of his rugged hon I rty and lflteity

progressing nicely here The members are being educated and are beginning to grasp the fact that there is something in the union worth striving for New locals are being organized and I new members initiated at almost every local meeting There was a called meeting of i the Vancleve Local on January II 27 at which five new members were initiated At Vancleve Lo cal No 512 we now have about 50 members of which most are active union workers There was a called meeting of the County Union at Vancleve on the 28th A large crowd of act ive union workers were present A bountiful dinner was spread by the lady members which was enjoyed by all Some very im portant subjects were discussed The meeting adjourned at 4 nit and everybody went home feeling glad he was a member of the Farmers Union The County Union holds its next regular meeting at Van cleve on February fifth Most of the members seem to be great ly enthused over the prospect of having produce and other union houses located in Calloway In fact everybody both young and old great or small seems to be filled with new zeal for our great cause I think ours is a grand order and I believe every farm er owes it to his family his friends and his country to join the Farmers Union This is a great battle we are waging in the union a battle for freedom for the oppressed farmers of our Southland and I believe we shall be victorious in the conflict Union members let us go for ward this year with the firm res olution to do more to promote the cause of unionism and bring us close together not only in union ism but in brotherlv and sisterly love and to possess and promote the three great principles of our orderjustice equity and the Golden Rule resolved to up hold the hands of our brothers the order in the grand fight they are

with the springs first day Then Into my blood crept the wanderlust And far from the choking city dust I tied to the woods away 1 BREAKING my peace In that forest home There murmured a cantoning breeze Bearing the call of the restless deep Which sang In my ears and stole my sleep And lured me over the ssas RECKLESS I szned to the frozen poles I 1L Or voyaged to east and west For more calls came to me ono by one And following blindly on and on I wearily prayed for rest EVER I answered and hoped for pence And ever they called anew Till low and clear from the rest apart There cute the surer call

fear and trouble pace about Anxiety and woe and grief Foreboding weariness and doubt And worry that escapes relief This door I call Forgetfulness In letters deep the word Is cut And though the

content are here And little deeds of kindness done And hope and lave and faith and cheer And blessings that my life hath won This door Is open all the while Flung wide that even one may share
