we become thoroughly civilized.
 It is only this: I have my work to do. my hour of arrival, my hours of work, my fixed pay. must get there, a little more arrangement if there Are strikes and obstacles. But I arrange get my pay.
 Organizations are perhaps good training schools, but skilled labor of no sort needs them.
 No man needs a church organization to teach him how good to be. If he Is civilized being he knows there is no set standard high enough for him if he put forth every energy toward being good--there Is perfection beyond.
 How hard grow the reformatory or ganizations, with organiza Son the steel enters into the soul of good doing.
 Where is the reformatory society that does the real good that one kind hearted individual does?
 What church as a body does the Christianizing work that it's individ- ual members do?
 body moves with weight of his slowest member. An individual knows no stay to celerity.
 At certain stages of civilization or ganization Is needed--but Beyond
 Beyond all standards the individual can pass. Beyond to the Best.
 Some farseeing souls are now proph- esying that these useless strikes, often unwarranted strikes, will strike a fa- tai blow at labor unions.
 Who knows?
 Each organization. union. individual has it's work to do.
 A wonderful poem has been sent to me. which, with its note of hope and courage. is said to far outrank the or iginal Man With the Hoe," whose publication was such a sensation some years ago.
 The author of this poem is South erner. MT. H. J. Stockard.
 His ideas of the man with the hoe are drawn from those mighty men of the Tar-Heel- State that make the backbone of our nation. One man who lives next to Nature is never a clod. Some of the glory and strength of the rising sun. some of the splendor of his setting gets into the character of the Southern man with the hoe The splendid characters that are the heritage of the Southern white work ing man is recognized the nation over. These things and more has the Southern poet put into his verse. But Is 1t not true that all the world over Mdn IS HIS only eutIly. Can any man, peasant or king, work man or capitalist claim that another has thrust him down? Do we not all either stand or fall in the measure of our own strength? The Man With the Hoe, Another View.

 Der mead and pasture. where his focks and herds Brouse slowly on the banks of mur- muring streams Past orchards, peaceful tenements, to the grave
 In whose cool gloom gleams white his happy home. | Lord of goodly heritage Is he. | Descended from a long ancestral line; Scion of Washington, of him who | wrought Immortal songs upon his Sabine farm The blood of Cato courses through his Of Curio, cincinnatus; heir of them

 Drove him forever forth to till the ground
 And of his sons he there alone con- forms His life to the economy divine. He bears toward all a wise, benig- nant rule,
 The winged tribes feed from his liberal hand;
 Brute beasts and things that burrow creep or crawl:
 Savage and nomad they who under ground .....
 Delve in perpetual night; they who go down
 Lone paths of sea: and they who throng the mart Smirk libertine and painted courtesan | The gambler on the product of the toll The greed-blind money changer, the great host Who drive the plane. the sledge, the l loom, the lathe,-
