Dignity and Honor Of Labor

Money Should be Acquired by
suits OF Effort-A Sermon

Last evening at the Central Union
church Rev. VIM. NJ. Ktncaid continued
his talks on Man" his subject for the
evening being "a Man at Work" The
text was Eph. 4:2s, Let him that stole.
steal no more. but rather let him labor.
working with his hands the thing
which Is good, that he may have 10 give
TO him that needeth."
There is a great deal OF stealing go
ing on in this world besides that which
is regularly termed theft. IL is car
ried on openly. day in and day out, and
people generally accept Il. Man does
not like work. The dreams OF men are
of ideal places where there Is no work
and Heaven is generally thought OF as
a place where there is no work. That
view is barbarous. Places where work
is not necessary have been found. but
barbarism reigns in them.
After twenty or thirty years life in
harness a man grows accustomed to
work and is unhappy unless engaged
in doing something. Adam was n bar
barian. He had no work to do, and no
idea of right and wrong. Dreams OF
lotus-eaters, OF Edens. are animalisms.
Work develops and cultivates man
into mastery OF himself and others. IL
is not a curse. Work is the best bles-
sing OF man. Many people. do not work
| on account OF the low esteem in which
| work is held. Labor has had n hard
time in the world. But the age is

will be established, when work will not
be considered drudgery.
There is false democracy coming to
the front. II am as good as the next
man; we are all free and equal" These
are the common expressions OF today.
But that is not so. Too many men are
slaves OF their environment. Men are
not equal in size, virtue or productive
work. But every man has an equal
right to be free wherever the Ameri-
can flag floats. There will always be
toilers with the head and the hand and
both will be honorable.
Why should a man work? For de-
velopment. for soul culture. Work has
brought forth the grandest and the
greatest of the human race-a Shake
speare. an Angelo. a Jesus. Manhood.
physical, moral and spiritual. depends
on work. Is work degradation? II
is the brightest angel in the world to-
day.
There is tendency today to get as
much money as possible for the least
amount of work. The rush for specula-
| ton is too great. This love for the
element OF chance has been very active
in the last few days in this city. Be
ware. for ''bucking the tiger" generally
ends in the tiger eating the man. Keep
rigidly to any good purpose, but along
legitimate lines.
Alas for men whose lives are aim
less, purposeless. though their bodies
be known their lives may be marked
unknown. The blacksmith, with his
| horny hands, is as much above the
polished man scornful OF work. as the
| heavens are above the earth.
Thank God, America is a nation OF
workingmen. Men OF manhood, men
Of brain and Drawn are needed today.

end to hold up ones hands and say
that they have never owned n penny
that was not earned.

What Is the Compromise?
Greerville Mountaineer.

Grcerville Mountaineer.
MIR. C.. G. Featherstone, ofLaurens,
is quoted as favoring a coalition of
the prohibition and high license
forces in order to repeal the dispen-
sary law, and after the repeal has
been accomplished, he is satisfied
these forces can come together and
agree upon something satisfactory to
both sides. This plan of Mr.. Feath
erstone might eventuate in the re-
peal of the dispensary law, and to
this extent the Legislative action
would be consistent with the wishes
of the prohibitionists, but the vague
possibility of a further agreement
between high license and prohibi
ton advocates does not seem to be
plausible, unless it is meant that
they will unite upon county local
option, which seems to be the popu-
lar idea just now. With the utmost
respect for Mr.. Featherstone's opin-
ions, we do not consider it wise or
prudent for the prohibition members
of the Legislature to tie their hands
by any compact with those who differ
so radically with these members as
to the legal control of the liquor
traffic. 1t would appear to be much
more consistent and even more polite
to preserve an armed neutrality, so
to speak, between the advocates Of
high license and the dispensary, both
of whom favor the legal sale of liquor
and differ only as to the mode.
True, the prohibition members will
have to choose between the two
methods, but it will avoid any en-
tangling alliances for them to keep
alocf from compacts of any sort,
voting as individuals upon the meas
ures proposed, and allowing the
fight to be made between high
license and the dispensary. High
license men are in a position to lead
the attack upon the dispensary, and
their voluntary action on this line is
logical outcome of the recent cam
paign. Prohibition is in minority,
and it's advotes can only act as a
balance Of power in the Legislature,
choosing the least cf evils as they
are presented for consideration.

His Watch Was Right.

He was a ferce-looking, yellow
bearded son of the soil, and be drove
up to the little country station in a
dilapidated old wagon behind still
more dilapidated horse. He had two
passengers for the mail train.
The station agent was on.the plat
form. "Guess you're late," he re-
marked, cheerfully.
''Train bain't gone, has it," anx-
iously inquired the rustic.
Twenty minutes ago, and late at

"Wall, I'll be burned! I got my
watch by Bill Rogers, and be sot his
by Joe Collins, and Joe said his was
railroad time. Amt right?" and
he held out an antiquated turnip to
the gaze of his audience. The agent
assured him that he was approx
mately correct.
Now, look here" pursued the ex-
cited granger, 1.-The last time I was
down here you told me that the
train went at quarter past one, and
here it is past ten and the trains
gone!"
The agent tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken; but he per-
sisted and grew more and more
wrathy,
"When did I tell you that?" the
agent ventured, finally.

that railroads sometimes found it
convenient to change their schedule

turist was not paci6ed, and muttered,

Tillman's Question Caused More
Talk.
The Matter of Citizenship of the
Filipinos.

Senate's Executive Session-Body
Likely to Vote on Policy Resolu-
tions at Today's Session. Sulli-
vans May be Adopted.
Washington, Feb. 2-The execu-
tive session OF the Senate today was
merely continuation Of the legal
argument which started with Sena'
tor Spooner's speech in the open
Senate. 1t grew out of the question
of Senator Tillman concerning the
status of the Filipinos with reference
to citizenship in case the cession of
the Philippine islands should be &C
cepted.
Senator Hoar made set argument
quoting liberally from authorities in
support Of the contention that they
would become citizens and be en-
titled to all the rights and privileges
as such under the constitution. This
view was antagonized by Senators
Platt of Connecticut, Teller and Mel
son. Senator Nelson referred to the
acquisition of territory from France
and Spain during the history of the
country, and read from many legal
opinions to show that the Indians in
such territory were not citizens. Mr..
Platt made the point that citizens of
territories were not full-6edged citi-
zens and Mr.. Teller contended that
they we're not until they were made
such by congressional enactment.
Flfty-four brigadier generals $4OO

journment ofthe Senate tonight, that
vote would be secured tomorrow on
the resolutions pending in the Sen
ate, declaratory of the country's fu-
ture attitude toward the Filipinos i'll
the case of the ratification of the
treaty. The first vote will be on the
Bacon resolutions, which will proba-
bly, be voted down. A vote will
then be taken upon a resolution more
acceptable to the majority, probably
that offered by Mr.. Sullivan, which
it is expected will be adopted.
Senator Daniel will speak on the
treaty in open session tomorrow and
Senator Morgan in executive session.
