The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1906-06-02

Labor, like that great virtue called
charity, is the concern of all mankind.
All must depend upon labor for their
existence; the poor upon the labor Of
their own hands; the rich, to a great
extent, upon the labor of others. La
Dor soils the hands, and bends the
back; but it does not blight the heart
nor blot the conscience as idleness
does.

II Correction.

The Anamosa Prison Press in a recent issue,
prints editorial in which it accused prisoner OF
this institution of appropratng poem called "Evo
luton" Altho the Iowaites have a strong chain of
circumstantia evidence shall deal with facts and
let our contemporaries Judge whether their chain is
made of gooseberres, or of steel.
On September 18th, 1902 the then editor of
this paper received the poem Evolution from an
outside friend, and published it at that time with
the following self-explanatory Introductory: "A
Twin City friend has given The MIRROR the follow
ing original poem He explains It's origin by saying
that somebody left it on his desk" For the edit
cation of our Iowa friend we wish to inform him that
"Twin City, means St. Paul and Minneapolis and
that the term has no local significance. Surely
the foregoing Introductory does not read tho the
poem were the work of prisoner. Why, even the
Twin City FRIEND did not christen it with his
name.
About year ago the editor of the Prison Press
asked to contribute to "Convict Verse; edition.
We cheerfully complied with his request, and sent
him poem written by Emeritus one of our local
poets. When the Convict Verse; number appeared
on our table, we surprised to discover there
in the poem Evolution" without the Introductory,
and credited to The MIRROR Where the Prison Press
man got the poem, are unable to say, for we did
not forward it to him. If he took it directly from
The MIRROR he surely must have seen the intro
ductory that printed in long primer type.
We are sorry that the Prison Press editor has
put his foot into wasps' nest We also sur
prised that he should call us to shoulder the
sponsibilty and to keep the wasps from singing his
shiny pate. We shall take pleasure in sending to
him 1902 copy of The MIRROR that contained the
poem "Evolution.' He can then better judge as to
where the blame belongs

Decline of Realism

Decline of Realism.
AMONG certain class of writer's are to be found
those who believe that the opposition to realism in
art and literature is founded false premises This
cult believes that pump should be called pump;
and when they encounter those who may think 9TH
erwise they resort to vituperaton, tho this rein
forced their arguments. No one is intolerant as
to object to pure realism in art literature Pure
realism-that realism which is prompted by lofty
motives-contains nothing vulgar suggestive or
that which has tendency to instill impure thoughts
in the minds of others
The school of realism contains few charlatans
who have brought disgrace upon it. Under this
thin disguise they have committed improprieties
which necessarily brought forth serious condem-
nation not only from those who believe realism,
but from the general public who just capable

and the bad as are the much abused critics-those

class who desire to degrade of the greatest arts
