acity, Is In position to demand FAIR
er wages and shorter workdays. Tho
employers OF labor grant to the unor-
gan1zed workers the same demands
made by the organized in order to keep
them out of tho unions, 50 they can
treat with them individually. This is
where organized laboc is a positive
benefit to the non-un1onist as we'll as
unionist. Under the upbuilding in
intiunce Of organized labor both union
list and non-un1onist IS advancing to
still better conditions. Remove the in
tiuence Of organized labor and the eon-
d1tions OF the working people, both
union and non-union would revert to
such depths Of degradation as would
paralyze even the highly imaginative
fancyings Of the heilish dreamer and
seeker after such coalitions.
The helpful and wholesome influence
OF organized labor cannot be discount
ed and waited aside by simple presto
ohange" method. It still has a large
work to do in forwarding the interests
Of the toilers for daily bread, and this
purpose can be UNNECESSARILY promoted
by teaching the non-unionfsts the
doubtfulness Of their position as such
and 1mpressing upon them the benefit
and security to be found within. the
ranks of organized labor. They must
be shown that collective bargaining in
respect to hours and wages is just as
fair and more effective in the end than
individual effort all along the line.
They must be shown that the union
man can enter an emphatic protest and

results against intolerable: conditions
Of hours and wages, while the. nom
unionist will have to. accept what the
boss" wishes to shoulder upon him,
or else make room for some other slave
whose backbone and manhood is as
weak as his own.
There are a great many opponents
of organized labor who are such for
the simple reason that they have not
studied the great and expanding bles-
sing to be found in the movement.
They have for some reasons gained and
retained the unwarranted hostility to-
ward labor unions and it should be
the duty and the work of trades
unionists of ever craft to impress upon
such opponents the wholesomeness OF
intent and purpose of organized labor.
and convince them that it is founded
upon justice and human rights, and
not upon prejudice and oppression.
The labor union is a friend of the
non-unionist, Therefore he should be
man enough to join the union OF his
craft and help to strengthen the
movement and better the conditions
all along the line.
Organized labor is not an institution
Of tyranny, not is it an institution of

possible, are sometimes however, val
liable as guides to future action along
safe lines. AS to the exclus1veness OF
organized labor, it's conditions for
membership are fair to employer and
employe alike, and anyone complying
with these conditions can become
members. Those unable to comply are
unworthy Of association with good
workmen; those who are competent
and of good morals, however, are not
excluded.

DRESS WELL.

Love and freedom still are powers In
the human heart and soul,
And the great eternal truth is marching
onward to the goal!!
But all words are worse than useless
reasons self We would deride-
We are but the sons of folly and the
slaves of purse-born pride;
We are strangers unto mercy; We are
deaf and dumb and blind;
Ye have never paused to listen to the
human heart and mind.
Will We not turn to justice ere your
words have made it vain,
And the Marseillaise is ringing round
rebel world again?

The Big Production OF "Coon Hollow

A natural, consistent comedy drama,
favored with the breezy local color of
Tennessee, and permeated with the soft
Southern atmosphere of its valleys, is "a
Romance of Coon Hollow" which will be
seen at Royal hall, Tuesday evening,
Jan. 9th, with wealth of scenery and
mechanical effects. The success of the
play, now in its eleventh season, lies in
it's splendid construction, and in rich
humor that is natural and Infectious
The realistic mechanical effects used in
celebrating the work adds to its interest
The story finds its origin in the romantic
glen in east Tennessee known as 'Coon
Hollow" Among the magnificent scenic
effects are steamboat race on the Mis-
sissippi at night, both boats lighted up
and under full head of steam; pom
derous cotton compress in operation, and
moonlight view of "Coon Hollow"
painted from life. A troupe of pIanta
ton darkies are also seen in the songs,
dances and antics that make the colored
race humorous factor in history
"A Romance of Coon hollow" is now
in it's eleventh year on the road and that
fact alone reveals it's merit Seats on
sale at Ash's Saturday morning, Jan. 9Th.

Pleasant Holiday Wedding.

The social event of the holiday week
in Edgerton was the marriage of Mr..
Oscar Jensen and Miss Henrietta Whit
tet, which was celebrated by nearly one
hundred guests at the hone of the
brides mother, Mrs. J. D. Whittet. on
Thursday evening, Dec. 28th. Promptly
at the appointed hour of o'clock, to the
strains of wedding march played by
Miss Grace Spaulding, the bridal party,
preceded by the Rev. L. A. Parr, took
their places beneath canopy of white
chrysanthemums and smilax where the
marriage service was pronounced. The
bride was most becomingly gowned in
white satin and carried brides roses.
Her bridesmaid, Miss Leah Clarke, wore
white silk and carried red roses. Adolph
Jensen, brother of the groom, acted as
best man. The home decorations we're
very prettily arranged with green vines
and southern smilax, the brides table
having an immense basket of pink car
nations. Following most sincere and
hearty congratulations a three course
luncheon was served under the direction
of Mrs. Louise Bowerman. The bride
and groom we're the recipients of very
many gifts, both useful and ornamental,
for their future home. These young
people are among the leaders in Edger
ton society and have the best wishes of
an unusually large circle of friends. The
groom is the junior member of the to-
bacco firm of Andrew Jensen & Sons,
we'll known to the trade and enjoying a
large business.

we're: Mr.. and Mrs. o. Gunderson, Mr..
and Miss Gunderson, Stoughton; John

Complimentary of Prof. Jack.

The following complimentary notice
of Prof. Frank M. Jack appeared in
School Education, the leading educa-
tional journal of Minnesota
Frank M. Jack is graduate of Beloit
College, class Of 1890. After graduation
he was elected principal of the High
school at Edgerton, Wis, which position
he occupied for three years, resigning to
accept a position in the Milwaukee

Milwaukee educational circles for eight
years. He resigned his position there to
assume state high school Inspector
ship which he held for two years, leav-
ing that work in 1903 to become super

In 1904, he was made president OF the
Western Wisconsin Teacher Associa-
ton, which held it's second annual meet
ing in Sparta, October Is, 26, q and %,

VIM. A. Harvey killed by . FAN.

VIM. A. Harvey, we'll known to many
of our readers, who has made his home
upon farm near Indian Ford for few
years past, was killed by somewhat
unusual accident at GAINESVILLE Thursday
morning. In company with William
Loucks, day clerk at the Park hotel, he
had been making visit in some apart.

The two apparently came out of hall
way and walked onto the roof of a one
story building in the rear. 1t was nee
essary to cross this roof to reach stair

men neared this flight of steps they lost
their way in the darkness and first
Loucks an then Harvey stepped off the
edge and plunged to the Recovered and
rubbish Uttered ground below. Harvey
appears to have struck on his head, as
there were gashes and bruises about his
face and scalp. but no marks elsewhere,
when help arrived.
1t was about quarter after two when
Offlcers Bear and Tanning heard cries
which seemed to come from locality
near the corner of Milwaukee and
Franklin streets. Fastening to the al.
legs in the rear they came upon Loucks
struggling painfully to get to his feet
and too dazed to explain what had hap
pened. Near him lay Harvey and a
glance was sufficient to convince the
officers that he was in a very critical
condition. While Tanning fastened af-
ter physician, Patrolman Bear endeav-
ored to place the limp form in better
posture and even as he did so Harvey
breathed his last When DR. Merritt
arrived he made an examination and
gave it as his opinion that death had
been caused by conclusion of the brain.
The deceased was single man, about
4S years of age. He was reared on the
homestead in Fulton. AS young man
he went to Arizona where he followed
the business of railroading and mining
for several years and is reported to have
accumulated snug little fortune. He
returned about four years ago and has
since lived with his sister, Mrs. Clifford,
at the homestead, or with Mrs. DR.. Rice,
a cousin, at Delavan.
Funeral services were held from the
home in Fulton Tuesday, the interment
taking place in the Milton cemetery.

Daniel Pierce, J. G. Hanson, J. E. Wes-

of losses in its history, aggregating over
$1,000. These, however, have been paid
out of the surplus earnings, still. leaving
balance of over $4,000 on hand. The
company is one OF the oldest in the state
and has never been compelled to levy an
assessment to meet it's losses, very un-

when in the mist and darkness OF the
morning the locomotive of the second

cars of hogs were in the rear of the train
just ahead of the caboose, and many of
these were killed and their carcases

from the stove in the caboose set fire to
the wreckage, and but for the prompt
arrival of the fire department some of
the men who were pinned down by the
timbers of the cars would have been
burned.
