farmer who, like the Indian, had packed
up his little belongings and "went
West Here he has developed another
farm for the Shylock to pocket" But
after awhile there will be no unsettled

earnest. 1t will be battle between
freedom and serfdom; between a dollar
and man; between soulless greed and
its human victim, and the end will be.

Mr.. Williams says that eight men owned
1900, 900 acres. That is each OF them
owned State three times as large as
the State Of Rhode Island; and the
number of large land owners has in
creased since then.
People OF America, the picture which
the glare of our civilization seems to
hide, the picture which shows the real
condition Of our people is not pleasant
one to look upon; and its importance
transcends every personal consideration.
This Republic is crimson with the blood
Of patriots. The fair face of the land
is marked by hundreds of thousands of
graves in not making the money that is
made, or even fair proportion of it.
There are engaged in the operative
departments of our manufacturing about
twenty five per cent Of our population,
and these people are not making the
money. About ten per cent of our
people are engaged in the trades, and
hey are not making the money. Here
are eighty five per cent of the popula-
ton living almost from hand to mouth,
and with the utmost economy, accumu,
lating but little in life time, while
the fifteen per cent are absorbing the
profits of agriculture and general labor,
and living sumptuously.
That is about as bad showing as
any nation on earth can show or that
any nation ever has shown; and this
American people cannot awake too soon
to realization of the tendencies, and
combine to effect reform.

hen they have seen their Interest in
those things which will strengthen
theii hearts aud minds to fight against
the great evil Of intempersnce.
Our Loyal Lgion has about 40
scholars enrolled this year. Some have
outgrown the Loyal Legion and have
become Good Templars, which we are
glad to see when they are matured
enough to appreciate older associations
A few have dropped as a matter of in
difference, having no encouragement
from their parents at home; but every
organization has its Indifferent ones and
so in such matters we have to be
patient, while some are dropping of
others are coming in. About 10 new
members have been added this year.
We have an excellent library of
about 60 volumes some paper backs,
but made substantial by muslin covers.
A blackboard has been bought. This
with temperance games has constituted
the temperance teachings. Several par.
lor meetings have been held, at which
the children provided beautifully,
and rendered good literary and musical
programmes. They have kept the boxes
for literature at the schools supplied
have appointed supts for this purpose
who have reported 1000 pages of liter.
ature placed in these boxes. Among
this were about IS Crusaders, the
official organ, and other papers of in
terest to children. The Flower Mis-
sion girls presented boquets of flowers
to the G. A. R. on Decoration Day
There are three annual subscribers to
the Moutbly Crusader. 20 copies of the
Water Lilly taken, and one copy Of
Youths Temperance Banner. A Dem
crest medal contest was held, proceeds
sl5. which will serve to support the
Legion the coming year.
We have done very little this year
for the Sunday School, but the w. c..
7. U. has decided at some future time
to place Francis Wizards Glimpses OF
Fifty Years in the S. S. library.
Through the Press Department we
have secured a monthly W. G. T. U.
Column in the MIDLAND JOURNAL, and
many thanks are due the editor for this
privilege. We trust the coming year
will be one of prosperity and peace and
that all the departments will receive
due attention from each Supt., that
many new members may be added and
the work continued in the name of
Him from whom is our reward and in
whom we trust.

Not Nov but Good

The editor of The Andover Review
looks at the eight hour question from a
point of view differing from that usually
taken. Describing tho economic con-
sideration he considers it in q sociology
cal light. The fewer hours may posi-
bly, mean less wages, but they bring
advantages of more than compensating
value. To the workman, this writer
maintains, the new time is opportunity.
1t means Il chance for mental culture,
for social advance, for greater influence
in all directions. The objection that the
time gained may be spent in dissipation
is dismissed as unworthy serious dis.
cussion. Experience has shown that
where small percentage misuse their
opportunities the great majority know
how to turn them to good account.
The general adoption of the eight hour
day will result in elevating the mass of
workmen from mere mechanical toilers
to thinking workers. The opportunities
for education, discussion and social in
tercourse will inevitably tend to make
them better citizens and better work
men. They will gain in every way and
the country will be the better for it.
That is point of view which should not
be lost sight of by workmen or en-
ployers in considering the eight hour
problem. 1t is not simply question Of
work and wages, but one also of mental
and social improvement. The workman
will elevate himself in the social scale
by reason of the increased opportunities
which he will know how to turn to ac-
count, and he will not look down on his
work because of his higher social grade.
The work will gain dignity with the
Northumberland Plain Dealer.

Lucy Abbott, who made a record Of
2:2Si at the recent Denver meeting and
who will be here in September, was for
merly employed in the humble occupation
of hauling a milk cart. A horseman who
saw her step along the street became CON
WINGED that the mare had speed worth de-
yeloping, and consequently he bought her
for a small sum. She showed that his
confidence in her powers was not mis-
placed, being able to beat 2:40 in thirty
days from the time her training began,
and 10Y she is standard by performance.
