when we're speaking of heroes and trying TO
frame
A list to insoribe in the temple Of fame,
Let's pause for a moment and Join in song
For the hero obscure who is lost in the throng.
Perhaps meath bushel his lamp struggles
dim;
Yet the world puts lot of dependence on him
Who faces his duty, still scorning to shirk-
The man who says nothing, but just goes TO
work.
His courage is not the sort that may win
Applause and reward in the battles fierce din;
His hardship is one that full many would
shun,
For it's farewell to friend when there's work
to be done,
It's farewell TO sunshine and farewell TO song,
The way of endeavor is.ionely and long.
Men must honor, though fools dismiss with a
smirk,
The man who says nothing, but Just goes to
work.

LABOR IN POLITICS.

The Wheeling Register, the leading

the following to say on the above In
teresting subject:
ut appears that President Gompers
is determined to contine the activity
o. organized labor in politics. There
dwas not much encouragement in the
late election. for two reasons: frs:
because union labor is dislncIlned to
vote as a unit and second, because the
activity of organized labor in politics
acts as a donble.edged sword These
facts must be admitted by labor lead.

deplore them. Proof is furnished
from every place in which organized
labor was active in the recent cam

dates on other tickets. And while
many voted for all the candidates APP
proved by the Trades Assembly it is
only necessary to call attention to the
scratching of labor candidates in GER
tain districts to prove that many citi.
zens voted against them solely because
of the endorsement of unionlsm.
