BCTLEI. CONDEMNS BOYCOTTIN(.
The True solution is to Elect Him to til.
Presidency.

General Butler at Boston, said recently
OF boycottins as weapon of defense bv
the wasc-workcr, of this country: Its
poor weapon; the principle is all wrong.
1t is a weapon used by the employer, and
wagr-workers should try to do better than
they. The workman's weapon is his vote.
United they can make the laws OF the
land. If the Keen Bros. OF Lynn, for in.
stance, discharge their operatives simply
because they Join labor organizations, that
is TO declare wal against the people. If
employment is refused these people bv the
capitalist class, then let that class provide
Tor the wants OF the unemployed workers.
In other words. il kccnc Bros, and men
OF their ilk, prevent men from earning an
honest livelihood, they should be taxed to
support them This is better and more
logical method than the boycott This is
Il perfectly legal weapon, and can produce
but one result. The opprrssor> Of labor
will capitulatc. The great danger to the
workinssncn of this county is that they
will not stand together in politics on mat
tiers governing their own interests.
81 have spent considerable time and
money in working for their interests, and
what is the result: They did not even
give mo Il fair vote III my own State. The
solution OF the great labor problem Will
depend upon the election Of some propcr
representative to the Presidency. 1t will
probably not be i'll your day or mine, but
some good man will come to the front who
will probably represent the ideas and feel
ings OF the MASSES. The ballot is the only
solution OF the labor problem o. to-day"

Death OF Calvin Crane.

Uncle Calvin Crane, who was con.
siderably crippled up by rheumatism
brought on by exposure in early life,
began to fail quite fast after the
death of aunt Jane, his wife, who
died last February, which was Sc.
we're trial to him. They were mar.
ried in October, 1927, and lived hap.
PLY together for more than 80 years.
He was the youngest Of a family of
children, whose father, Samuel Crane,
settled in this county about 1870, on
Muddy Creek where Calvin was born,
August 4, 1906. He never attached
himself to any branch of the church;
but after the death Of his wife he
turned his attention more fully to
reading the Bible and religious
books end to religious conversation
and prayer. He was fond of having
persons call and pray with him. He
grieved so much over the loss of his
wife, and on that account and his con.
slant habit of reading, his mental
faculties became somewhat impaired
during the last few months of his life
1t is learned, however, that while he
had mind enough to comprehend his
true condition, he expressed himself
as being ready to die when the time
should come. He died on Monday,
June %, 1886, and his remains were
laid to rest by those of his wife, in
the Lutheran burying ground, on
the following Wednesday, after an
appropriate sermon by the Reverend
Friend. Y.
