THE VIRG1N1AN asserts that it is
in the "blind pigs" where most of
the "bombastic talk" is heard which
leads to Socialism. The Virginian
scribe might, on the showing, be.
come valued witness in some of
the cases against the sightless pork.

knows what he is talking about,
anyway, whether he does or not
But from the fact that most every
Socialist in this north country is a
Finn and that most every "blind
pigger" is accredited as being an
Austrian or Hun, we believe his
expressed opinion is the result of a
pipe dream.

THE UNIONS MISSION.

those outside may say or think
about it. They should be like the
captain and crew Of an outgoing
vessel destined for foreign port.
storms may arise and threaten to
engulf them, but with steady
hands and determined minds the,
direct their bark safely through
the angry pillows until the storm
has spent its force, the turbulent
waters again assuming their placid
nature and the vessel rides safely
and triumphantly into the port for
which was destined.
Trades unionism has a mission
to fulfill. In the performance of
our duties we may run counter to
the ideas and the wishes of those
who refuse to recognize the right
OF the worker to organize to pro
tect himself in the right to control
his labor, but, like the captain and
the crew of the vessel, we are
destined for that port named
Equality and Justice,'' where the
rights of the weak will feel our

where their deadly grip upon the
toiling masses shall be broken,
where selfshness shall give place
to justice, where confidence shall
supplant suspicion, love and hate,
where the blessings and benefits to
be derived from fully developed

unionism will give comfort and
joy to all those who enroll them
selves under its banners inscribed
with the motto of "Liberty and
Equality.'

THE MAIL UNMASKS.

In its issue of yesterday the
Dixon Mail shows itself up in its
true light and stamps itself
the prince of blackguards when it
attacks President John Mitchell
with goulish glee and in most
ilendlsh, cowardly and vicious
manner. That the Mail will stop
at nothing to accomplish it's nefar
lous ends is clearly shown in this
its latest budget Of vitupcration
heaped upon the head of a man who
is confined in a hospital where he is
slowly recovering from a serious
illness and is unable to defend
himself.
That this slush will receive scant
consideration at the hands Of the
general public is an indisputable
fact as everyone is too thoroughly
acquainted with the unimpeacha-
BILE national reputation Mr.. Nit,
chell enjoys to give any credence
to a lot ofrot that appears in a little
two by four boiler plate sheet,
The full text of the Dixon venom
is as follows:
''The beginning of the end Of the
autOcratlc sway OF John Mitchell
as president of the United Mine
Workers seems to be.in sight. The
fight which he is making on John
Nugent in this state is merely the
outcropping Of hi opposition to II.
l.. Lewis as his successor. Mr..
Lewis, like Mr. Nugent, has been
guilty of the unforgivable sin of
presuming to entertain opinions of
his own, even though they happen
to run contrary to the views Of the
head of the organization. In re-
tal1atlon, Mitchell is now trying to
defeat Lewis for the presidency of
the organization, and us a step to-
ward that end is making overtures
to the operators of PENNSYLVANIA,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to revive
the interstate agreement abrogated
upon his advice at the last session
in indianapolis, in an effort to
thereby strengthen candidate of
his choosing for the succession.
All Of which indicates that the
idol OF the miners is but clay after
al, and quite ordinary clay at
that.'
And thus the ''RevercndH Sam
uel's Mail continues to wage war
on organized labor.

to the "open shopper'' and the

Re- member the ones we are giving away are the well made, galvanized quality and will last for a long, long time. We do not expect to he able to give these hods with our baking powder only a short time. Therefore II you need one now is the time. The writer of this ad is willing to bet a million dollars that there is Wat erbury cop able to carry one ot our coal hods home without taking a rest. Of course we make exception to Ofh- cer Cavanaugh, for glory be to good ness did you see him dive into the Manhan canal and save that little tot that was going to a watery grave We'll they tell us that while he was in the water he kept sharp lookout to see what kind of fish were there, so we can look for a big catch from him soon, providing his investigation was favorable.

She does not knock against chairs as
she enters the room, she does not plant
down each foot as If she were trying
to stamp the pattern out of the carpet.
When she talks and becomes inter-
ested in her subject she does not allow
her voice to become shrill tone that
is earpiercing.
OF course, none of these things arc
wicked. but they show lack of consid-
Grafton. and suggest that there Is n
strain in one that does not belong to
the refined and lovable temperament.
The girl who is gentle learns to walk
quietly, TO keep here eyes open so that
she does not trip over rugs, cushspns,

The girl who is geltle realizes that
sweet, low voice and a quiet manner
are more convincing of the power OF
