total of $4,000 in life time. The
average day laborer gets Sl.5O per

There were many touching Incl

The Rocky Fordites are certainly

When Justice Limos

1t happens every now and then we
see a contract twixt two men, and
then it is that we observe how justice
from the right will swerve, and let
her scales get out of plumb by free
ing one and cinching some. So com
mon has this come to be that we NO
longer blush t. see.
A well known master of finance
ne'er let go by single chance to talk
of national honesty, cream honor and
sound currency; and all who differed
from his plan he dubbed bad, dis
honest man." In fact, he posed as one
so pure that wrong near him could
not endure.
He ran a bank, this honest man, un-
til into the ground 1t ran. While pos
ing bravely night and morn he
filters" took in wheat and corn with
money, left within his care until there
was no money there. He stole the
banks deposits clean until no more
were to be seen.
While spouting out his honest" rot
he stole what trusting patrons brought
While prating of integrity he stole
upon the strict "a. t." Exposed, he
about his Geep disgrace. And, heed
gave him two little years.
He stole two millions held in trust,
and though his victims raved and
cussed, he salted down goodly pile
and lived in princely state the while.
But those whom he had robbed and
spoiled got nothing for the years they
toiled. And then. by buying venal
men, this banker never reached the
pen.
A man who stole a loaf of bread
found vengeance quick brought on his
head. He had starving babe and
wife and stole to save each precious
life. But what of that? A thief was
he, and dangerous to be left free. In
to the pen twelve years he's thrown.
and loved ones left to starve alone.

Tis this-Dont steal a loaf OF

The Ulterior Motive

A man there was who claimed to be
friend of all humanity, and every
where and all the while he wore a
broad engaging smile. 81 love the
man who tolls" said he, 'but he
should be forever free from union
rules in every form. for unicns do
men nought but HARM"
"The independent wOrkingman,'
said he, IT think much better can get
we'll along than he who tries with
fellow men to organize. The union
teaches strife and hate, SUPP orts the
walking delegate, and makes slave
who should be free and working in
dependently."
Much more he said of same effect
till many people did expect this man
would paw the best of wage t work
ingmen he might engage. And some

A FEW FABLES IN RHYME

into fighting unions led, until he had
an "open shop"-and then is love had
sudden stop.
With men he had disorganized one
day he sprung sad surprise by post
ing high a sign which meant a wage
cut of nineteen per cent. Z l when
the men complained he said: go
each of you and soak your head. You
have no uniOn-nO recOurS $50 yaWp
away until you're hoarse."
Alas, too late the men diScerned
their fingers hal been badly burned.
The man who claimed to lo-e them
so was really out for all the dough
He didn't care a snap for men, but
only used tt IN up and then stopped
up his ears md quick did flee to his
fine cottage by the sea.
"In union there is strength they
say. Twas never truer than today.
And men who, listen to the pleas of
Parryites may starve and freeze for all
they think or feel or care-their open
shops not on the square. They mere
ly want the unions dead SO they can
pay men less per head.
MORAL:
When men profess great love for you
Twere well all sides of them to view.
The Price Of Blood
A man who robbed folk right and
left and did it in a manner deft
through purchased laws and venal
courts aid SUI -idizing press reports,
hit on a plan to silence blame and
glorify his name and fame-likewise
to make his graft secure as long as
time should e'er endure.

and, heaped up high his wealth of
spoil; then when the people kicked
he spent little bit with wise intent.
He, with deep thought and wisest
care, endowed a college here and
there. And foolish victims with ac-
claim paid graceful tribute to his
name.
With schools dependent on his
whim they dared not lay the blame
on him. Indeed, to get more of his
gold, big stories of his good were told;
and students taught to emulate the
ways of him who paid the freight.
Twas thus he choked our largest
schools and played the faculties for
fools.
He thrived by starving women, men
and children by the thousands; then
gave thousands into mission hands to
spread Gods word in other lands.
He robbed and wrought his wicked
ways, and with the spoil bought
churchly praise by sending missiona-
ries out to spread the gospels truths
about.
The tears of widows stained his
gold. The sobs of orphans, hungry,
cold; and men with hopeless, broken
hearts who begged crust in labor's
marts, black marked the coin he gave
so free and bought name for charity.
And all the blood-bought coin he ten
dered the church snapped up and deep
thanks rendered.
