THE BLESSING OF FREE LABOR

The highest development and the
widest distribution OF wealth have
been secured where labor was free,
and the least where slavery prevailed.
The efforts that are being made by
organizations OF work people to load
themselves with despotle restraints
are the result OF wild dreams that
they can impose their restrictions
upon others and leave themselves free.
Such a state Of things can never be
realized. Even II the socialistic no
tions could be carried 10 the extent
Of securing for the whole people con-
troll OF all the machinery OF produc-
tion. and a distribution OF all wealth.

In some parts Of England peculiar

foretellers Of bad luck, disaster or
death to some one in the locality. It
is a very ancient superstition. Both
