Labor's principal need is brains. In
their conflict with employers the labor
ing men should not be led by profess
sional agitators, men whose jobs de-
pend upon their raising frequent dis
turbances, but the interests of labor
should be managed by men who know
both sides of the question, said Rev.
Madison c. Peters, of New York, in a
recent sermon. Our wisest business
men, when they find themselves in a
position they do not entirely under
stand seek the counsel of lawyer OF
someone who comprehends the case in
all it's bearings. The laboring man
seems to think such course unneces-
sary and he suffers the consequences
Violence sprung upon the employer
never put cent in the workiagman's
hands. Many employers do business
with money borrowed from banks

mission of the trades unions has al

trades union movement has general
mission, and a. worldwide work to- per
form in its, efforts to- establish the
brotherhood of man, regardless of
creed, color or nationality. The his
tory of the trade union movement in
all lands in the history of civilization
and industrial progress; Of an increase
in the individual liberty and collective
rights. of man. 1t has at all times striv-
en- to- eradicate wrong wherever found,
and to establish systems of social, in
dustrial and governmental character
that would give fair treatment to all
members of the human family; al
though often defeated in it's aims and
purposes its members are never con-
deferred" they are never disheartened,
but are always found at their post Of
duty, and willing to battle for human
rights AS trade unionists we have
been taught to hate tyranny and op-
preston in all forms, and our teaching
causes us to feel sympathy for, and
when opportunity offers extend help
ing hand to, all those who struggle to
free themselves from influences and
power which enslave and degrade man

which have obtained this money by de-
posits from the laboring men them
selves. II labor goes back on the en-
ployer the bank must also go back on
him. So an injury done to capital Is an
injury to labor. The worst enemies Of
the working classes to-day are those
demented agitators, whose appeal is to
the idle, the shiftlass, the di1sip~ted
and the bankrupt to fight tbA money
owning classes.

If all the so-called surplus shoes and
clothing and food was distributed
among the needy there would not be
enough to go round and make them
comfortable Yet there are millions of
people who are idle, and the men who
"know all about it" say it is because
there is an over production. 1t is one
of the DEVILS lies which centuries of
experience have been unable to explode.

Populists are not in favor of "divid-

lust what they are kicking against
they object to giving the lions share

have what he produces, and that III
any will not work, neither shall ne
eat"

A pure ballot is indispensable to the
preservation of republic. When you
tamper with the ballot you tamper
with the liberties of the people. The
man who steals your ballot is much

buys and the man who sells his vote
should be DISTINGUISHED forever
