THE MAN WHO DARES.
All Honor TO the unionist Who HAS
the Courage of His Convictions.

All Honor 10 the unfonisf Who HAS
the Courage of His Convictions.
The Commoner and Glass Worker Of
Pittsburg in a recent issue contains an
able and timely editorial on the man in
labor union who dares TO do right as
he sees the right. despite the elamor Of
the fire eaters who play upon the preju-
lices Of the unthinking Commoner
and Glass Worker says;
The man who is courageous enough
to call attention to the pitfalls that line
the path Of labor: the man who, be-
lieving he is in the right and knowing
that his stand will make him most UNI
popular. goes right ahead without fear
aud with faith lii the justice Of his
cause: the man who Is ready to throw
himself into the breach, even though II
means the sacrifice of trade prefer
ment, in order to prevent hasty and i'll
advises action; the man who does not
place self above thesinterests OF the en-
tire trade. is the individual in the labor
movement who has never received the
full measure OF credit.
Men of this character can now be
found In almost every local organiza-
ton. but the number who are afraid to
express their honest convictions on vi
tai questions is still entirely too large
for the welfare Of organized labor.
These are plain words, but every one
who has given the subject any thought
VIII admit that they ring true. The
man who jumps up and loudly bellows
that he is d union man and classes all
in the opposite category who do not
think as he does Is not always the fell
low who steers the labor craft on
safe course Not by any means. The
man who is not afraid TO attempt to
stem the rising tide that threatens de-
struetion to the craft Is the fellow TO
whom the major portion of the credit Is
due. The man who dares, here's to
you. You have sacrificed your ambi-
ton on many occasions ia the cause OF
truth and right, and that Is why you
deserve this tribute"

poneilt, Acams after supper stroIled
around to the schoolhouse where the
meeting was to take place, and, not
wishing to be known. he drew up his
coat collar, kept on his hat, which he
pulled down over his eyes, and took a
back seat. An old farmer opened the
meeting with short address, then In
troduced the speaker Of the evening,
the candidate for school commissioner,
who arose from one Of the front seats
and took the stand.
Adams saw the young girl with whom
he had Travelled.
For half an hour he sat quietly. hear
ing himself denounced as one who,
coming from the effete east, with its
old fashioned educational customs,
thought to introduce them among the
children of the young and vigorous
west. This was the burden of her ar
gument for this particular evening.
The address was well rounded, and
long before 1t was finished Adams
knew that II had been written and
committed to memory. When the meet
Ing was closed he sat till the speaker
had passed est In company with an
angular woman with square jaw
aud glittering eye, who looked far
more like candidate than Miss Day,
Adams followed his opponent home,
and few minutes after she had en-
tered he rang and was admitted The
angular woman had gone on to another
house, and he found Miss Day alone.
He told her that he had been to the
meeting and had heard her speak, but
did not mention that she had been adj

He found her as charming as she had

any one, even the man who was try

told her that this man Adams was to
speak ait D. few miles farther on,
the next night and she resolved to go
and hear him.
The next evening before the speaker
entered one of the campaign commit
tee announced that to avoid Interrupt
lions no one would be allowed to en-
ter or depart until the candidate had
finished his address. Only few per-
sons avaiied themselves OF this notice
TO get out before the speaker entered
and took the stand. He kept his eyes
fixed on two ladies occupying back
seat, and his whole address was a
modest statement Of his own def
ciencies for school commissioner and
an encomIum upon the merits OF his
opponent
Surprised as was the audience at this
address, the other voters. when they
read report of IT, all were still more
astonished to learn that Miss Day had
withdrawn from the race. and. having
quarreled with her campaign manager,
II had come out that the manager had

sex to decide upon matters pertaining
to children and his own unfitness in
particular he girded up his loIns for
the fight.
Mi Adams was on his way to speak
at p. The town was off the line of any
railroad, and Adams was obliged to
travel by coach Whether Ii Is the
seats facing each other, the narrow
compass or the ruts, there is some
thing about stagecoach that throws
people together. The candidate had
by this time talked so much about the
election thatAh was tired Of It, and
sincehe was hot known to fhe few pas
sengers present he was enabled to keep
bis identity a secret.
He was destined on this trip to meet
his fate. Opposite him sat girl ap-

1t was so with Adams when he looked
upon the face OF this girl He soon
scraped an acquaintance and, chatting
in unrestrained stagecoach fashion. aft

fund Of Information that surprised
him. He was not to speak at d. till
the next night, and when the young
lady got off at NJ. he concluded to
alight at the same town. She told him
that she had an engagement for the
first part Of the evening. but would be
happy to have him call at her aunt's,
where she would stop after 0 O'clock.
AS he walked to the hotel he saw no
tees posted Of meeting to take place
that evening for the discussion Of the
school question, and Miss Day would

the fruit and sweetmeats, Of which we
received an ample share
Then the great doors Of the hall
were thrown open and there poured in
"A horde Of struggling humanity that
rushed at great stacks OF Tibetan bread
"a crisp, brown substance, fried In
butter and very palatable in 0 cold
climate. The bread was on tables in
broad piles six feet high. With des-
peratc fury the poor Of the city fell on
this provision of the gods and crammed
the brittle stacks Into sacks and bos-
onls, punching their receptacles when
full to make room for moro. They
fought like cnnnibais for the bread and
stole from each other when they could.
And all the while the ilcfors OF the road
were among them, iashing with their
whips, prodding with the heavy butts
and striking with their fists. One man
had two sacks, and. though beaten un-
mercifully, he continued until both
were full and then retired under a rain
