WHO ARE THE
WORKINGMEN?

Street corner socialists delight i
dwelling upon the wrongs of the
workingman. In this sort of appeal
there is artful dodging of real ques
tions that affect all men, for it's
mere sentimental nonsense. 1t is
easy to work upon the passions of
listeners and by continually ham
mering at the same spot convince
many Of them that they are having
terrible time of it and that they
are being robbed and downtrodden
at every turn.
Ofcourse, the orators intention =
ally misuse the term workingman.
They really mean the common |. :
borers, whose lot is supposed to lie
dull and irEsome, and which won d
be bettered if property were taken
away from the saving and the capa
ole and given to the less saving and
less capable. The word working
man has been sadly abused. SOM
how We have heard ii so often ap
piled TO the loborer that we do no,
realize that a great majority Of all
American men are workingmen, and
that this is workingman's republic
where workingmen rule and domi-
nate. While it is true that the ditch
digger is worklngman and deserv.
ing of full and complete justice, it
is equally true that the mechanic,
the lawyer, the physician, the min
lister, the business man is working
man with rights equal, but not su-
perior, to those of the more meuial-
ly employed. President Roosevelt
is workingman, Secretary Taft is
workingman, our captains Of in
pustry are workingmen, and SO are
majority of our wealthy citizens,
and their cares and responsibilities
as a rule are much more arduous
than the cares and responsibilities
of the man who works only with his
hands. This country has a very
small leisure class, as it is known
abroad. Here every able bodied
man desires to keep in the harness,
to do something constructive. 1t
Is considered unmanly to be an i'd
ler, and rich and poor, high and
low, we are all workingmen. The
work of administration is necessary.
Nobody has divine right to any
thing in this country except right
to work, and the height of his sue
cess is measured by his own capac-
ity and energy.
Sympathy goes out to the man
who does not rise in the world be-
yond that of an humble newer of

KENTUCKY AWAKE

From a Kentucky paper handed

fact that temperance cause is fast
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1907-10-14

It appears that the news reports
sent out from Manchester stating that
the state Sunday school convention
unanimously" adopted a resolution
condemning the local option law as
complete failure to restrain the liquor
traffic were not correct. The resOlu.
ton was adopted, 1t is true, but the
vote was not unanimous and II was
only after a sharp debate In which
Rev. George s. Mills of Bennington
showed up the fallacy of the resOlu
ton as presented. Mr.. Mills argued
that it was wrong to call law a COM
plete failure which enabled communi-
ties as fast as they become educated
to the point of desiring to drive out
saloons to do so effectually as they
may under the local option law. He
called attention to the distinct i'm
provement in some communities over
the conditions that prevailed under
the old prohibitory law and declared
that the cause of temperance would
not be helped by such a radical reso-
luton which is not supported by the
facts i'm the case. When 1t came to 4
gote, however, the resolution was
adopted though there was consider
able minority of protesting mo
votes.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 14.-Many
hundreds of people were turned away

the college service usually held in that
chapel when the Rev. Arthur Winning

preached. The auditorium was filed
to Its capacity after the faculty and
undergraduate body had taken their
seats.
The bishop preached earnestly from
the text found In the frst chapter Of
the epistle Of James, one hundred and
SEVENTEEN verse. In opening he said
he brought greeting to Yale from
the older universities Of Oxford and
Cambridge. He then began his ser
mon from the text, which he divided
into four parts-faith. conscience, NOR
ais and personal cleanliness and last
stewardship. OF faith he referred to
the many things which We call truisms
and which are accepted without per
sonal knowledge through faith.
On morals and personal purity the
bishop addressed the college men di
rectly, saying that they were just step

things which your conscience tells yo'

He urged upon them to have full
