Civilization Is sympathy. The trade
unions are working out the gospel Of
sympathy. know that Philistia hates
the sympathetic strike. The sympa-
thetic strike is the most civilized strike.
The sympathetic strike is almost civin-
cation itself.

The trade unions are establishing a

They are disposing the. individual to

Our Young Folks.

The Coal Strike Commission has GER
tainly done one good service in showing
up the evils Of child labor in the coal
n1inees of Pennsylvania.
The sad thing shown about the tes-
timony in this Investigation is that
eighty per cent of the cases investi-
gated it was shown that the parents
Of the child labor We're earning from
$500 to $1,000 per year. The monument
tai self1shness of such fathers is dis
gushing to say the least, and no words
of commentator are strong enough to
fit the case Of such fathers. The same
thing often happened in our New Eng
land mill centres where fathers and
mothers falsely swear to their child
ren's age in order that they may be
driven into the mills to earn cash, and
cash too that is often spent by these
brutal fathers in guzzling beer. After
all is said and done men are alike with
out regard to their station in life and
the workingman who has an income of
$500 a year or more, and will allow his
children under fourteen years of age
to work in the coal mines or mill is a
brute.
The child OF a.: workingman should be
to him as bright and lovely a, flower
as ever bloomed In the garden of child
lsood. THE purity Of it's young life
hould not be brought in contact with
crime and fniquity. The laborer ows
his posterity the protection of his bal
lot, and when he conhscates that con-
stituttonal weapon: to spbserve the in
terests of politicians and corporations,
he has committed 3. crime against him.

Here is a chance for some poor.
struggling mechanic to join the great
army of capitalists. Examine a type
writing machine carefully and evolve
some device whereby the carriage of
the machine will return automatically;
also devise some mechanism which will
cause the cylinder to turn at the same
time. This is an open field, nothing
Of the kind has as yet been invented,
although many are at work upon IT.
A successful continuance of this nature
would mean thousands of dollars to
the one successful in the production.
The value of the typewriter would be
Increased at least so per cent. The
Labor World throws out this sugges-
ton for serious consideration for some
genius, and would be glad to receive
suggestions upon the same.

Considering the condition OF the
roads a very good congregation listened
to the expoundation Of truth as under
st0od by Elder Hook, Of Mexico. The
elder is not unlike Talnage in his gen.
eral appearances, and certainly is one
Of the Talmage school Of preachers in
style and rhetoric.
In the mOrniug his talk was On
Obedience, and the abSentees were
losers thereby. The subject was han
died in a mastery manner, and a great
deal more was gotten out Of that one
little word than many Of Us had here
tofore thought OF. Throughout the
talk was Interestingly illustrated, max
ing the time pass rapidly, and it must
be a dull mind, indeed, that did not
grasp that lfttle-but mighty-word
obedience.
In the afternoon Elder Hook took
for bis subject two verses from
Psalms, and proved by his discourse
that be is man OF much deep thought
and when aroused 10 his topic is earn
estness personifed; he spares no one
In bis work for bis Master. He tells
truths in the plainest language and
clothes 1t In its scantiest garments. A
man Of his style will please while he
chastiseth. The editor was very
much interested in both services and
regrets not hearing the talk in its en-
tirety.
After the services about $3.50 was
collected for the sufferers from the re-

and those who would hereafter fin,
him must seek him in the grave.
The hero Of which we write was
hero Of kindness, simplicity and noble
IneSs.
The subject Of our sketch, George
7. Baker, was born April %, 1854, in
Boone County and died June 10, 1908,
at 6 a. m, making him 40 years, j
month and IS days old.
Bis life was spent almost entirely
in farming and stock raising. Having
lived on farm until about two years
ago when he went to town to rest and
recuperate. The dread disease, cancer
OF the stomach, gradually, slowly but
surely, sapped his vitality. He was
not In a serous condition until the last
eight months during which time he
sank fast.
On June 16, 1887, he was married to
Miss Alice Bruce to which union were
born two children, Dora D., the eld-
est preceded her father to the grave
Oct. 3, 1890, and Richard Thomas, who
with his mother, survive the father.
In January Of this year he and his
family went to Eureka Springs, Ark.
for the benefit Of his health, but itI
was OF no avail, afterward they locat.
ed at Fort Scott, Kansas, where Mr..
Baker died.
George was noble man, being
magnanimOus In mind, kind and af-
fectionate in disposition. He was a
kind, loving and painstaking husband
and affectionate father, a dutiful son
and a friend to all mankind, whoI
walked the right line of duty.
The body was brought Mexico for
interment. The funeral was held at
the residence Of his brother, John F.
Baker, in northeast Mexico. "Asleepl
In Jesus" was sung by Misses Byrd |
Locke and Bernetta Barclay and Mr.
and Rev. Kokendoffer after
which DIR. Kokendoffer read from
Jod's word and took for his text, 'Oh.
ieath, where is thy sting: oh, grave
where is thy victory" lie delivered |
very touching discourse, showing
iery clearly that the grave didn't have
my victory but would only containl
ne lifeless from, and that heaven
aimed the victory as he died with
aith implicit In his Lord and Savior
trusting his Lord to the very last.
'anting to live but yet willing to die
1t was bis Masters will.
AT the cemetery the song, "The
"eet BY and BY" was sung while theI
asket was lowered in the grave
tier which DR.. Kokendofer made a :
eW remarks and made the closipel
rayer OF the services. Thus vas laid
rest the body Of a good man.
