THE LABOR PAPER
Only Advocate Which Can Be Re
lied Upon At All Times.
Coura geously Presents Labor's Claims
and Grievances and Advocates
Its Rights.

II the Wage-earner had none but
the selfish reason of haveng a means
OF publicly defining and defending
his personal rights and interests as
a man and a toiler, he ought gen
erously to support the labor papers
by
LIST. Subscribing for, paying for
and reading the labor papers.
I'd. Buying everything he can
from the merchants and business
men who advertise in the labor
papers.
Sd. Contributing facts, com
ments on facts and ideas relating
10 labor, to labor papers. In doing
this he need not be learned or elo-
quent, only clear, simple, truthful
and just. The editors can be de.
pended on to put on the frills, if
any are needed, and to do the skin
nlng OF our common enemies.
There Is "A largerand wiser reason
than the personally selfish one for
the active and liberal support of
the dlstinctively labor press. The
newspapers and the magazines an
peal to the general public, and
even where they are not openly or
covertly hostile to labor interests.
they are necessarily precludcd from
devodng much of their space to
the special and courageous presen
tatlon OF labor's claims and the ad-
vocacy OF labor's rights. Many OF
them, and they are among those
having the largest circulation and
the greatest earning capacity, are
voluntarily subject to the money
power, and, because they find their
profit in doing SO, take the side of
the employer i'll every issue. between
him and his workmen.
The laborpaper, on the contrary.
| fights for and with labor. puts the
rights, grievances and demands of
labor in the strongest light, and is.
IN short, the attorney for labor's
cause before the awful, but ulti-
mately just, court of public opin-
ion. And it is labor's only advo-
cate which can be relied upon at
all times and under all circ,rm-
stances. Therefore should every
wage Garner who respects and is de-
termined to maintain his manhood
support and aid his labor paper to
the full extent of his power.

Don't Waste Your Time.

Many working men and women
waste great deal of valuable time
worrying over troubles and cat:,s
trophies which never come to pass
and III this they but emulate the
example of many others of the
human race and serve as additional
living illustrations of the folly Of
worry IN general and the idiocy of
lettln% that which we cannot help
trouble us. OF course, we should
take every precantion to prevent
misfortune and devote all our
energy to the Improvement Of our
condition., but beyond that we
should not go We viii all be a
long time dead, for which reason
life is too short to be wasted in
worry.

Voice of the Majority.

The supreme test of trades.
union consists in its manner of
treating the decision of the labor
movement at large upon any ques-
don affecting its own Immediate
Interests, The trades union which
is unable to gracefully accept the
decision of the majority when the
decision is against it is, after all,
but an aggregation of individuals
dominated by the spirit of iudivi-
dualism, and therefore not a trades
union at all. The essence of trades
uulonlsm lies in the spirit of com
hnahon-a spirit that can find
voice, howsoever right or wrong.
howsoever weak or strong, only in
the voice of the majority.

This is Official.

Iii is clear that the working people
of the state New York have reap
ed innumerable benefits through
the influence of the associations de
voted to their interests Wages
have been increased; working time
has been reduced; the membership
rolls have been largely augmented:
distressed members have received
pecunlary relief: general conditions
have been improved and labor has
been elevated to a high position in
the social scale--Commiss
Bowling, in Report from Bureau of
Labor Statistics.

Educate the Masses.

A distinctive modern idea in edu-
cation is that it should have. as far
as possible, Il definite aim and pur-
pose; not that all education should
be technical, or be purely CONNER
zeal in spirit, but that it should fit
the person for the particular life he
is to live, and enable him to cOntri-
butte to the uplifting and improve
ment oflife in general, and his spec
ial field in particular. Another dis
.tinctive modern idea is that the
public should provide for the edu-
cation Of the masses rather than
Of the classes.

"What is Home Without Dad

We happened in home the
other night. and over the parlol
dtOc WI: s the legend worked in
letters of red, "What is Home
Without a Mother'' Across the
room was another brief GOOD
Bless Our Home.''
Now, what's the matter with
God Bless Our Dad'. He gets
up early, lights the fire, boils an
egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes
off the dew OF the dawn with his
boots while many mother is sleep
ing. He makes the weekly hand
out for the.butcher, the grocer, the
milkman and the baker, and his
little pile is badly worn out before
he has been home an hour. He
stands off the bailiff and keeps the
rent paid up.
IL there Is noise during the
night dad is kicked in the back and
made to go downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother
darnS the socks. but dad bought
the socks i'll the first place and the
yarn atterward. Mother does IN
the fruit; well, dad bought it ali.
and jars and sugar cost like the
mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carveS them himself,
and draws the neck from the ruins
after everyone else is served.
NV hat is home without a mother?'i
Yes, that is all right. but what is
home without Il father? Ten
chances to one it is a boarding
house. father is under Il Slab and
and the landlady is the widow.
Dad, here's to you: you've got your
faultS-you may have lots Of 'em-
but YOU re all right, and we Will
miss you when you're gone.

What's the Difference,

y small farmer out in Wisconsin
harnessed his four children to the
corn pillow instead Of sending them
TO school, and there is a great row
about it. Quite right-only, it is
Il bit inconsistent to prosecute "a
man who does this sort of thing on
a small scale and honor the men
who make fortunes by HARVESTING
other peuple's children to cotton
looms and glasSmaking machinery.

What Unionism Has Done.

The trades union movement has
proved itself to be the greatest in
Sttutlon ever founded among men.
1t has raised wages reduced hours
OF labor, taken the child from the
mill and the factory and sent it to
school. 1t has elevated the wo-
manhood and manhood of the
world; it has raised the standard
OF citizenship, sobriety and integ-
rlty of the workingman of our
country.

journalistic Serpent.

Don't soil your hands or waste
your time with those papers which
pretend to be the toiler's friend
and then wilfnlly misrepresent the
cause of organized labor. They
are journalistic serpents which you
will be wise to avoid, just the same
as you would the other kind. for
they are just as venomous.

TO DO AWAY WITH HDUST
Street and Sewer Department Re-
SuTiaCing Some Of the
MaCadam Highways.

With a view TO preventing trouble
from dusty streets in the future, the
Street and Sewer Department began
today to resuriace Pennsylvania ave
nue., and from which there has been a
great deal of dust, causing much an
noyancs and complaint. A COMPOST
tion Of tar and other Ingredients,
known as taryie, is being used, ap-
par ntly, with good effect. 6 1t costs
6l5 cents al gallon and a gallon will
cover about two square yards of sur
face. The department has purchased
nearly a car load of the material and
is doing the work with its own men.
At noon today the surface of Pennsyl-
vania avenue between Clayton and
Van Buren, streets had been treated
with the preparation.
The process is to sweep the dust
from the surface Of a macadam street
and then sprinkle the tarvie, and on
top Of this TO spread screenings of
stone and roll it. The combination
hardens rapidly and is said to have
produced a good result in other places.
II the experiment proves satisfactory
on Pennsylvania avenue, the depart
ment intends to do the same work on
other macadam streets. Street Com
missioner Pierson says the work can be
done for the cost Of sprinkling for a
year and he considers it a coed invest
ment.
Last year some of the dusty streets
we're treated with oil, but il did not
give satisfaction.

A HALT ON GABBAGE
Which is Said TO Have Been Di-
Verled FTOm the CTematOIy
and Fed 10 Pigs.

The Board Of Health made a definite
move this morning In the direction of
correcting some Of the alleged abuses
in the system of collecting garbage.
For some time reports have been
current to the effect that some of the
garbage, all of which should be taken
to the crematory, was being taken by
farmers and others and fed TO pigs,
and today the executive officers Of the
Board of Health were stationed at
Market ana Third street bridges, with
instructions TO head off all wagons
laden with garbage crossing the bridges
into South Wilmington, and 60 send
the wagons to the crematory. During
the morning several farm wagons laden
with garbage attempted 90 cross the
bridges, but had TO fnrn back ana take
the garbage TO the crematory.
II have been watching this matter
for some time, having had men sta
toned at the bridges, and they re-
ported TO me that during the past two
weeks 90 carloads of garbage in
wagons of some Of the city collectors
have been taken into South Whining
ton. instead of going TO the crematory.
/ am informed that this garbage is
deposited near Garesche's Lane and
taken from there to other nearby
places and fed to pigs. This is in ad-
dition to farm wagons which have car
ried garbage out of the city. The low
est number OF loads going over the
bridges in a day was five and the
highest number IL. / have all Of the
executive officers stationed at the
bridges today, with instructions TO
compel the drivers 10 take the garbage
TO the crematory. 1t is the intention
of the Board of Health 10 break this
practice up.
