BY z. Root,
Q. say, do you see in the near future
day
An end to the struggle 50 long and
so weary?
Has labor succeeded in making its
Through all the distractions so
heavy and dreary?
Shall those who have waited meet
justice at last
And those in contentment the woes
Of the past?
o, then, will a nation united rejoice
And peans of g1adness he heard in
each voice!
With Labor united our country will
know
True peace and success that can
not be invaded:
The wealth Of the world to her Golfers
will flow,
Her workmen uphold her alone and
unaided.
Oh. then, will the true land Of freedom
be founded,
And earth's farthest boundary echo
the sound,
OF a nation rejoicing in love and in
peace
Most thankful for blessings that ever
increase.
The bright star Of hope we have saxed
at so long
Shines brighter today than when
first twas discovered.
Then, brothers, stand firm and in
manhood be strong
TO Danish the cloud. by which now
we are covered.
The bright days will come when our
strife will be Ger,
And enmity vanish from mountain
and Shore
An, then, will a nation united rejoice.
And peans Of gladness be, heard in
each voice.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

In remarking that the prevailing
method of collecting personal taxes
would be serious meance to demo-
cratic institutions were it not so gen.
orally recognized as a bowling farce"
the New York tax commission has
made just comment by adding:
But it is not farce to those who
are fully assessed. These are chiefly
the widows and orphans who are
caught when their property is listed
in the probate court, retail merchants
and others, incorporated or unincor-
porated, with stocks of goods, and the
small investors who are not skillful
enough to make non-taxable invest
ments. The tax of 11h per cent. is
equivalent to an income tax of Is per
cent on per cent investment. A
general income tax of 10 per cent
would create revolution, yet we take
a quarter Of their income or more
from the most helpless class in the
community" And this is done for the
benefit of privileged classes-the
classes that get their bread in the
sweat of other mems faces,-and by
authority of the votes of the victims
themselves.

QUIT KNOCKING.

What's the use OF knocking always
Tell me, pray,
What's the use of knocking someone
Every day?
Let the other man alone;
For your own sins try atone.
Drop your hammer in a sewer;
Do not groan.
When you see a man who's tipsy,
Lend a hand;
Do not push him in the gutter
Where he'd land
II brother has "skate,'
He'll pay for it soon or late.
Put your hammer in the stove
Its proper fate.
If the lady's not a lady,
What's the use
OF your crushing her beneath
The more abuse?
He's the one her sin has hurt;
You're not grovelling in the dirt.
Drop your hammer; you'll find good
If you're alert.
Do you think that you are all
That you should be?
Why is it your. own faults
You cannot see,
While the other fellows soul
Looks to you az black as coal:
Chuck the hammer; try his virtues
To extol

Turn the spotlight on yourself
Some quiet day,
Then you'll ind the hammer business
Doesn't pay,
Let the guiltless one alone
Bruise his brother with 4 stone
Drop that hammer IN an alley, =
Then atone.

REAL CANCELLATION,

To get together and talk it out az

striven for. Not as officially repre-

Stelzle was invited by the Second
Presbyterian church in that city to
address the regular Sunday evening
audience, which was composed of all
classes of men. Among the officers
OF that church are Mr.. T. H. Watkins,
appointed by President Roosevelt a
member of the famous anthracite
strike commission of 1909; Mr.. E. L.
Fuller. president of the International
Salt company; Mr.. Henry Belin, Jr.,
president of the Du Pont Powder COM

Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company; Mr.. w. H. Gear
hart, large independent coal oper.
ator, and Mr.. James H. Torrey, who
represented the coal carrying rail-
roads before the strike commission.
Within the church there are many
mine owners, representatives of the
large railroads and men of big manu-
featuring interests. Also there are
miners, machinists, molders and lab
orers of all grades within the organ

After the formal address, about two
hundred men adjourned to the lee.
