monarchy when men did not have the
right to surrender, in fact, a monarchy
is noted for the enforcement of this
right. This is the right the I, G. |.
Co. would have you exercise and call
it freedom. This is the freedom they
would have all men, both union and
non union, to exercise.
Instead of surrendering just remain
away from the mines and let time, the
unions cudgel, work the problem, for
all elements and things material are
changed by the erasion Of time.
If the sore is let alone and not irrita-

entirely well the scar will be invisible

Reason should guide all workmen in
their acts. All the southern states are
prosperous because of the advance of
cotton. Prosperity in every branch Of
industry comes as consequence Of
high priced cotton, and we all are de-
lighted and benefited, both saint and
sinner, both union and non union, be-
cause cotton is high priced. And. the
reason of this, the cotton growers
have organized and held their cotton,
until it brought living price. just
so with the working man, he should
hold his muscle land John Mitchell has
the money to help him) until the de-
mand for it will bring living wage.
God created the muscle of man. and
gave it to him, together with faculs
ty of reason to govern it it. Muscle is
the workman capital and when he
won't hold it for good price, he is a
cheap man and dishonors his own CON
dition. One says, HAS not the com

ness?2 Certainly they have, but have
not the laborers the right to hold that
which is his for good price? Because
the company holds the right to run
their own business is no argument for
workman to surrender his rights as a
workman, whether union or non union.
The farmers in all this land by Or
ganization, should put a price on ev-
erything they raise and make that price
high enough to live and make their
next crop.
We, as people, have to carry out
our own destiny in this our own civil
ization and when we expect disinter-
ested parties and law-making powers
to accomplish our prosperity, we will
find in the future too much repeti-
ton of the past.
Let us quit listening to- men who
are hired to talk When talk comes
from a man who is hired to talk, where
job and employment depends on his
talk and how well he talks; you may
observe how well he performs the task
NOT his duty, because manhood, duty
and humanity would make three.
