Lake Talioe.
One of the most beautiful lakes in
the world lies in the hearcof the Sierras
on "The Overland Raute," 0,220 feet
above the sea level, and is completely
hemmed in by mountain walls, whose
rugged peaks rise in many places to an
additional height of from 2,000 to 4,000
feet. It is twenty-three miles wide and
from 100 to 2,000 feet deep. The entire
region surrounding the lake is pictur
esque almost beyond description, and
a never ending delight to the eye. This
regionis reached only over the Union
Pacific and its connections, the fast
trains via this route reach California
many hours ahead of all competitors.

SOCIALISM SS NOT THE
FRIEND 0E LABOR
By Rev. FATHER ANTON HESTER of Buffalo
SOCIALISM IS NOT .VXD HAS XOT DEES THE
FRI.EXD OF THE WOHKIXCLMAN. IT OP
POSED THE MOYEMEXT TOWARD A BET­
IX LABOR UXIOXS AXD DECRIED THE EFFORTS FOR
AD VAX CE PX TIL OPPOSITIOX COULD XO LOXGER'
PREVAIL Tlion it knocked on tlie portal of unionism for ad
mittance and, gaining what it sought,, now aspires to obtain con
trol of ujiionism. y*
Socialism is in no way responsible for the progress that labor|
has made today, and the workingman is better paid and lives bet-i
ter in every way than fifty years ago. Among all enlightened I
nations laws are being adopted or considered to shorten the|
hours of labor and provide against sickness and old age among tliO|
laboring classes. All these things have been brought about by or
ganized labor, and in the beginning socialists stood aside or sought)
to destroy the fruits of such efforts. They wished to bring tliei
workingmen so low in the mire that they would rise in revolution'
and bear the socialists to power and leadership.

BUT WHEN UNIONISM COULD NO LONGER BE IGNORED THE
SOCIALISTS APPEARED UPON THE SCENE WITH OUTSTRETCHED)
HAND THEY SOUGHT OUT THE NEST LABOR HAD BUILT AND,
DEPOSITED THEREIN THEIR "CUCKOO EGGS" AND ASKED LABOR!
TO HATCH THEM OUT FOR THEM.
THE BETTER CLASS OF CITIZEXS ARE ORGAXIZ-i
IXG TO BRIXG LABOR AXD CAPITAL TOGETHER, BUT)
ALL THE WHILE THE SOCIALISTS ARE TRYING TO,
KEEP THESE TWO FORCES APART. The state has joinedj
with society in promoting harmony, which socialism opposes, and[
the state and society have found the church in full sympathy and:
support of the effort. The highest authority of the Catholic church.,*
as long as ten years ago issued the famous encyclical letter point-,
ing out the method by which the final betterment of the work-,
ingman's condition could best be brought about. The church:
preaches peace to all the world, urging capital to give labor its
due and labor to recogjrvw Us duty.
