tn the first number of the Atlantis Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had . poem called 'Brahfna," which puzzled both critics and common readers. Some said it was the greatest poem of the century Some said 1t was non sense. The first verse ran as follows: If the red slayer think he stays
 Or If the slain think he is slain
 They know not well the subtle ways

 That winter it happened that a rela. tive of the poet Longfellow, living in another state. bought sleigh, and In family letter to the cousins in Cam bridge there was wall lest the Janu- ary thaw which had followed the pur- chase should keep them from enjoying the gay cutter that season. When the letter was answered, Longfellow cop tributed this verse. which, 1t Is said has never been printed before:

WHO ARE THE WORkINGMEN!

Street corner socialists delight in dwelling upon the wrongs of the 'workingman. In this sort of ap- peal there is artful lodging of real questions that affect all men, for it is mere sentimental nonsense, says the Kansas City Journal. It is easy to work upon the passions of listeners and by continually hammering at the same spot convince many of them that they are having a terrible time of it and that they are being robbed and downtrodden at every turn.
 Of course, the orators Intentionally misuse the term workirgman. They really mean the common laborers whose lot is supposed to be dull and irksome, and which would be bettered if property were taken away from the saving and the capable and given to the less saving and less capable The word workingman has been sadly abused. Somehow We have heard it so often applied to the laborer that we do not realize that great ma jority of all American men are work ingmen, and that this is working rule and dominate. While it is true that the ditch digger is a working man and deserving of full and com plete justice, it is equally true that the mechanic, the lawyer, the physi- elan, the minister, the business man is workingman with rights equal but not superior, to those more men tally employed. President Roosevelt is a workingman, Secretary Taft is a workingman, our captains of indus try are wOrkingmen, and so are a ma jority 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 lei sure class, as it is known abroad. Here every able-bodied man desires to keep in the harness, to do some thing constructive. It is considered unmanly 10 be an dler, and rich and poor, high and low, We are all work ingmen. The work of administration is necessary. The work of directing great enterprises is necessary. No- / ody has divine right to anything 1n this country except right to work, and the height of his success is measured by his own capacity and energy.
 Sympathy goes out to the man who does not rise in the world beyond that of an humble newer of wood and drawer of water; but should this sym pathy take the form of robbing other workmen? Should the careful, am bilious, enterprising workingman be deprived of the fruits of his industry to support the slothful and the drunk ard? It is time to proclaim that when the word workingman is used that it does not mean the man of any limited
