why should He or others this side

We wish and pray that moro of
our workingmcn may have better
homes-that they may more earn
cstly caro- for their earnings, their
lives, their manhood. Those who
do not are not the happy ones. Nor
are their families. Not care to
hoard, but TO bcautify, to adorn, to
clothc, to educate. The noblest
men in the land arc the sons Of
workingmen, mechanics, laborcrs,
farmers, who have oft been sneered
at on account Of their poverty The
happiest homes are those built on
the enduring foundation Of honest
toll. We would see every home
happy. Would throw open the
parlors, swing the blinds, clear out
tho dirt and cobwebs, fill closets
with clothes, libraries, with books,
cupboards with food (; the home
with laughter and checrfulness, and
the heart with joy. We would see
the wife and little ones happier, the
husband moro contented and en-
couraged-parents more proud OF
and kind TO their children-chil-
dren set good examples and taught
good manners, with neatness and
gentlcness.
And We would see men of hearts
and desire to do good, stand closer
by each other and by tho unfortu-
nate, To protect and love.
We would ignore and abolish the
laws which now rob the working
man of hard earned money for the
benefit of those who pay no taxes
on ill-gotten incomes-would wipe
out as with red-hot fire the prohibi-
ton which comes to us through
Puritanism and lay the foundation
for high deeds, noble resolves, great
undertakings, and that success
which marks our progression to
worthincss of future greatness by
the fresides and in the homes Of the
'workngmen Of the land who are
our real and only princes for the
present' and. joint heirs for the
future.
Who of our friends-oI' our read
ers-of the public we strive, but can
do so little for, will have. the pluck
to begin new life and devote more
time and more of his earning to
making his home more attractive
