The money spent for war purposes
in this country Of ours, If used to pay
old-age pensions, would furnish 50 a
week to every person over 60 years OF
age in the United States. But of
course, it's better to be able to braE
about being world power than it Is
to have common sense and make life
blessing to 100000 or 10000 old
people. Half billion a. year, the
amount spent for war purposes, would.
If judiciously expended for a few
years, give us the finest roads in the
world. the soldiers could build them
and the officers could engineer the
work. That half billion a year would
go long way toward giving every
poor boy and girl a good education.
But we don't pay taxes for our own
benefit. Some day we will have direct
legislation and make laws for our
selves.

Get in touch with the purpose of your

honest business, don't be afraid to
push it, If you are you will never
succeed at It, We like that new-coined
word of President Roosevelt, "strenu-

work. To love your calling will make
the work easier. But it will be a labor
of love. You will be 10th to quit it.
Success, just within your reach, will
SOUR YOU on. The hours will pass only
too swiftly. Your sleep will be the
better because of your earnest, vigor-
Gus. constant effort to achieve success.
And when success is attained, how
self-satlsfying you will feel. Be en-
thusiastic, and with it all be content
that you have deserved success. even
if you fail after your best efforts.

THE OPPRESSED TOILER,

There is small comfort for the work
ers who have secured by strenuous ef-
forts the passage Of Law reducing
the number Of hours Of their labor by
forbidding their employers to require
more to be told by the courts that the
Constitution guarantees" them the
right to work IA hours when they
want to work eight, and that the
statute which they had secured by so
much effort is unconstitutional because
1t interferea with their freedom OF
contract"
The right the laborer sought by his
statute was the right to leisure The
right the court so often guarantees
him IN its stead and by it's destruction
Is the right to work unlimited hours
under the stern laws Of necessity.
The right to work harder and longer
than he desires or than humanity
should require is called property
right, ana the statute taking awav
that right is one, they DECLARE which
takes away liberty or property with
out due process Of law"
oh, wretched man that am saws
st. Paul; who shall deliver me from
the body OF this death?" The laborer
with his constitutional body Of death
! groans also and wonders If the time
Will ever come when the right to leis-
ure' the right to reasonable freedom
from toll, will become a "propertv
right" and be recognized by the law.

"BOB'' DUNN IS RIGHT.

The following two clippings from
Bob Dunn's paper, the Princeton
Union, shows where good heart
beats: The implicit faith which the
Western Federation of Miners has in
the innocence of Meyer and Haywood
was demonstrated last week when
these two men were reelected respec-
lively president and secretary-treas-
urer of the organization.

SHORTEN THE WORKDAY.

There is nothing, perhaps, more TO
be regretted than the fact that extra
ordinary commercial prosperity ana an
unprecedented accumulation of wealth
have hitherto done so little to shorten
the workman's hours Of labor. 1t IS
unreasonable to expect that the moral
qualities in mans nature can be duly
developed if life Is passed in one un-
VARYING round Of monotonous work.
We are constantly being reminded OF
the ennobling and elevating influence
produced by contemplating the beau
ties of nature, by rejecting upon the
marvels which science unfolds, and by
studying the triumphs of art and liter
allure. Yet no inconsiderab'e portion OF
the tolling masses are reared IN such
Ignorance and surrounded from early
childhood to old age by so much
squalor and misery that life could be
to them scarcely more dreary or de-
science and no art and if nature had
no beauties to unfold. The undue
length of time which men have been
accustomed to work represents, so far
as many branches of industry are con-
cerned, a thoroughly mistaken policy.
In many Instances it is undeniable
that men would not only get through
more work, but would do it more ef-
fciently if they had more opportunity
for mental cultivation and for health
full recreation. No small part of the
intemperance which is laid to the
charge of laborers is directly to be
traced to excessive toll. When strength
becomes exhausted and the body is
over fatigued there often arises an al
most uncomfortable desire to resort to
stimulants.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Miss Rose
sneiderman, young sewing machine
operator, and a member Of the Gar
ment Workers Union had something
to say to the big audience in attend
ance at the annual meeting Of the
Equal Suffrage League last week at
the Hotel Astor. The subject before
the meeting was the encouragement
Of cheap boarding houses for girls in
charge of experienced matrons. Ex-
ponents Of the idea waxed warm on
the subject, and the debate was
brought to a hasty determination by
the heroic little women representing
the working girls Of New York.
The working girl is not looking for
charity" said Miss Sneiderman, "she
only wants square deal. She is not
as much interested in proposed lodg-
Ing houses as the people who are try
Ing to start them for her and as they
are recommended in Dorothy Richard

we work for would like them better

THE DREAMER,
For The Public,

Where'er oppressive forces rise
To crush the spirit free,
A dreamer dwells. In dungeon cells
Is born sweet liberty.
What chains Of circumstance may bind
The pleasant paths of peace
Are broken by the dreamer's song,
To find his hearts release.
No desert waste OF hooking sand.
No far, uncharted sea,
But gives unto a. dreamer's faith
Some paradise to be.
And all the wicked wars OF hate.
Where men for truth have died,
Have won for love some blessed boon
BY dreamless hearts untried.
Go where you will across the world,
The castled joys Of Spain
Have paved for you a smoother path
Their luxuries to GAIN
What tho a dalliant dreamer fail
His empires throne to build :.
With nobler triumph must the void
At last be grandly filled.
O, sordid stress Of pride and power!
Where your consuming pain
Spreads desolation thro the earth.
What potent dreams remain.
And thro the long and dismal night
That blinds our eastern view,
We weave of sadness and suspense
The dreams that dawn makes true.
