BRAIN AND Drawn.
Editor Democrat. Star.

Ever since Abel chose the wiser
cOurse. In his offerings to God, than
did his brother, Cain. there has been
strife between brain and Drawn. Cain
slew Abel, and thus gained u temper.
AIRY victory over him. yet for six thou.
sand years man has read OF "Abcl the
and Cain the murderer"
For many days the Drawn Of the Phil.
listine army defled the army OF Israel.
and daily challenged them TO mortal
combat with the muscular giant. Go.
liah. The young man David. refusing
tn put on the sword OF King Saul. but
relying on his brain and righteous
cause, went out and slew the great
Drawn OF the Philistines and put them
to flight. God saw tit to put a mans
brains in the highest and most ele-
waited part OF his body, thus indicating
that his brains should control and di.
rect all partsuf man. Among animals
and extreme barbarous Races of men,
the physical overrides and dominates
the whole being, but as man becomes
civilized and enlightened the brains
become the master. or course, we
must not overlook the important fact
that, from the very nature Of man.
brain and hrawn are partners. and
when one is impaired or suffers the
other will finally be affected.
We read in the Books Of Moses Of
captains OF tens. and OF hundreds, and
OF thousands. Where there are cap.
tains there must OF necessity be pri.
Yates. Where there are rulers there
must be those who are ruled. This is
necessary. and there could be no 80.
ciety, government or organization
without it.
A man with capital, and knowledge

money and brains In a business, ano

there is fairness and justice used b,
the owner. and loyal services rendered
by the Drawn, the chances are thai
the business will prosper and continue
and that both brain and Drawn will
receive Il just reward. No sane man,
who has the capital, would undertake
a business that required a great mum.
her OF OF laborers and try to get along
without the Drawn. su
So IL is with Drawn. II laborers de-
eide tn 20 into some Herculean scheme,
such as strike, or other scheme that
that requires diplomacy and great
Thought. it seems to me, IL they have
not the brains wiz. the knowledge OF
how to defend and push forward their
wants.. then they should initiate the
man of brains, who HIRED his Drawn,
and then they would hire their brains,
or the business and legal talent so
necessary to their success. II Drawn
would do this, then we would not
be shocked at lawless acts, that
work so injuriO,isly to the efforts
OF laborers. That brawE often has
just cause for complaint no fair.mind.
ed man will deny. And no doubt in
some extreme and aggravated cases a
strike may be necessary, or ut least ex.
cused. yet any true friend OF Drawn
will advise them that a strike is the
last resort" and should not even
be thought OF until every other possi-
ble effort had failed, and even then it
should not be resorted to unless it is
perfectly plain that success Is sure.
and the victory worth all IL may cost.
In this connection we should re-
member the Savior's INDUCTION, that a
wise man before going to war would
sit down and figure up the cost. In
tlIis advanced age Of ours. the general
public Is, In fact. the jury that finally
sits in judgment on all contests, and
for this reason each party to such con.
tests should see to 1t that all whO
march under their flag or act in their
name should SO conduct themselves AS
to favorably impress the iury-the
general public.
But when the leaders, or even lay
members, Of labor organizations at
tend court trials, and even attempt tu
testify In court, with their minds and
breath befogged with beer and other
int0xicants, the cause Of Drawn sui'
fers. Fortunately a merciful God has
given ALL OF US brains, and He pu,
what little we have In our heads, and
II we act as though 1t was In our heels,
we have only ourselves to blame.
