manhood and the dignity of his office
Let him turn Hanna down.

wood, Wis, passed the danger point, but
twelve hours fight with the flames was
necessary to avert entire destruction. Ce-

buildings being burned at and near that
place. The dam was also destroyed.
Among the heaviest losers at Cedar Lake
Dam are Knapp, Stout & Co., whose large
lumber barns and other buildings were
burned. Rice Lake, Wis, narrowly escap-

on the outskirts being destroyed. Hun
dreds are homeless, and thousands of feet
of hardwood lumber are lost. The fate Of
many settlers in the forests can only be
conjectured. Fire departments in the big
cities have been appealed to for assistance
and are ready to go if they are needed.

Work that Counts.

Every workman ought to say to him
self every day of his life:
'I'll never cast vote for a man, big
or little, unless he has proved himself
honest and friend of labor
he ought to live up to that on elec-
tion day. The men who do the work of
this country can run it if they will.
They can be rulers. 1t is all in their
own hands.
If they will kill jealousy, show faith
in their own class, reward in their un-
ion principles. intelligence and good
record always-bombast never-they
will soon change the complexion of the
country.
When we say a friend of labor We do
not mean merely the advocate of union
with an o. II. label in his hat and on
his loaf. We mean especially the friend
of the man who works as opposed to
the do-nothing. We mean the man who
cares us much for Samuel Gompers as
for George Gould. and as much for the
humblest shoveler as for Gompers. The
first is easy to tind. The second is not
so easy.-New York Journal.
