TRUE LEADERS
Their Efforts in Behalf of the
Cause of Unionism
ARE UNAPPRECIATED BY MANY
OF Those Whose Conditions They
Are Working to Better-Facts
by Rev. Chas. Ste1z1e.

The labor question will never be
settled by passing resolutions.
Neither will its solution be hasten
ed by misrepresentation and abuse.
Nor yet will snobbishness or tyran-
ny bring about a more cordial re-
lationship between men. No tenn
porary advantage gained at the
sacrifice of a righteous principle,
can permanently benefit the victor.
Men may boast of their power and
sneer at their helpless opponents,
but just as sure as there is truth in
the world, so sure will come the
day of reckoning. Some there are
who seek to put off the s'evil day"
but their actions are fastening the
time when justice shall prevail and
truth shall conquer.
Whatever all this may mean to
the employing class, it means to
the workingman that the day has
gone by when the counsel of the
cheap, shortsighted, ignorant blath-
erskite is to be needed. States
manship of the highest order in the
cause of labor is demanded. Far
beyond the narrow limits of the
man who has been bowed like a
bulrush, or he whose eyes have
been dulled by the lurid glare of
his own imagination, must be the
vision of the man who is to be the
prophet and leader of the people.
Slowly such master minds are
emerging from the masses. Some
times unappreciated by the very
ones whose battles they are fight
ing and whose destinies they are
working out, these men and women
must go on as did the prophets OF
old, until the hour shall strike that
shall proclaim the victory of the
common people.
For, frankly, workingmen-like
most others-are ungrateful to those
who are sacrificing most, and who

nected with fraternal organizations
OF whatever name or character
should see to it that the men en-
ployed to render music at parties
or places of public amusement are

musician is just as much an enemy
OF organized labor as any other
cheap labor cotender. Blow YOUR

The Family Walked.

A man and his wife and five chill
dren, who had been living at Willmar
and who had been thrown out of their
house and home because his boss had
beaten him out of his wages and he
could not pay his rent, started to walk
to Watertown, S. D., where he had
friends. They got as far as Clark
field Saturday, Dec 80, and on Sunday
reached Boyd where some humane
people took care of them and on learn
ing their story funds were soon raised
to buy them tickets to Watertown
where they went by train on New
Years day. That was an act of true
charity and we have no doubt it was
greatly appreciated. Persons who
will walk rather than beg are worth
taking care of.-Montevideo Leader
The above no doubt refers to the
Yockman family, who made this city
their home for about three weeks, dur
ing which time they received aid from
the charitably disposed people OF
Willmar. They arrived here from
Fairmont, N. D., claiming that the
people of that place had furnished
them with railroad transportation as
far as Benson and that they had Gov

rest took the steamer enroute for
Bloomfield, to see Mr.. and Mrs. Blom

received me in their old liberal and
courteous manner. A tired wanderer
can certainly enjoy the hospitality and
good treatment under their coy roof.

and forth across the bay every day.
