knows what genuine democracy
means 1t Is a religion. and when YOU
hear a good democratic speech it Is
30 much ike a sermon that YOU can
hardly tell the difference between
them. And why? Because a good
sermon Is built upon the ten COM
mandments, Thou shalt love thv
neighbOr as myself" And a good
democratic speech Is built upon the
doctrine of human brotherhood. equal
rights and self-government. When
you get down TO bedrock you find
that love of mankind is the basis Of
both and democracy can never die
while there is in democracy Above of,
and struggle for, the rights of man

who struck. The employees wanted the
contract signed for the year as usual.
There was no asking for an increase
OF wages, and in fact no other stipu.
latlon that was not in last years con-
tract. 1t being the object of the mas
ter brewers to avoid the annual diff
Guilty, they struck for a two-year con-
tract with their men instead of one.

there will hardly be a third of them 90
to the rescue and in such an event the
fight will cause much bitter feeling
among all unions.

in a masterful way with beautiful
dissolving view illustrations. and tho
moving pictures are intensely inter-
esting-even for the Edison. Owing
