He took the manuscript in his hand as
a practical gambler might take a pack of
cards. He glanced down each page with
what seemed incredible swiftness to the
palpitating Robinson. Within two min

earmarks of conscientious effort. Then he
looked up at the palid face beside him.

Robinson gasped and turned away, for
the cisterns of his heart were beginning
to leak. And as he went the editor looked
around the corner of his desk. He saw
the worn shoes, the tattered coat, and he
shouted
Come back, Robinson, you've forgot

To The Public.

Having been informed that persons in
North Wheeling, who do not know the
facts, are influencing the boys who have
asked for an advance in their wages as
well as their parents, we believe il not
improper to take notice of the card in
the Sunday Register and give the facts
concerning the present situation at our
factory. On April Goth we received
notice from a committee of the boys in
our employ, asking for an increase OF
10 cents per day in their wages. We re-
piled that we were already paying as
much as any flint furnace bottle factory
In the Ohio Valley or Pittsburg districts
and could not grant any advance at this
time. our contracts being based on the
present rate of wages. We suggested
that they continue at work pending an
investigation by them as To the wages
paid for similar work by others and
they stated they would submit this 10
a meeting Of all the boys in our employ
and report to us on Saturday, April 22d,
when they notified us they would not be
at work the following Monday, unless
the advance was granted After several
days stoppage OF our plant, we under
stood that a number of the boys signi-
fed their willingness to go TO work, so
we prepared to start up on Monday,
May Sth, but could not because the boys
willing to work were enticed away by
few older ones. some of whom have
not worked in our factory for two years.
Referring to the card in the Sunday
Register, say ii Is not true that one OF
the boys now at work came with one
eye closed
We are prepared to substantiate what
we state as TO paying as much as others
for similar work. and while preference
will be given to boys formerly employ
ed. shall accept others as they apply at
wages as high as is paid by our COM
petitors for similar work.
Very respectfully.

THE SALOON.
The Warning and An Appeal.

The warning is this: An attempt is
going to be made to re-establish the
saloon in Audubon county The
plans, so it is said, is to secure signers
on the day of election and the thirty
days following. Saloon workers it is
said will be at all the voting places in
the county on election day soliciting
signers for the opening of the saloon.
The appeal is this: To all voters and
temperance workers be on your guard.
Know that the enemy is sly and vigi-
lent. Do not sign unless you want
the saloon re established, and are will
ing to take the evil consequences of its
establishment. We appeal to you
to do your utmost to get all anti-saloon
men out to the polls on election day
Get word to all the anti-saloon people
of your locality of what is going on.
Get all the temperance people that
work. Help to circulate the remon-
strances that will be at every polling
place in the county. See that the law
is enforced against any solicitation of
signers within the limit set by law for
polling places. Call on the Anti-Saloon
League for any help you may need,
and report the same when your work
is done. In behalf of the Anti-Saloon
League of Audubon, Iowa.
