The promotion of Master Starr
Montgomery from the cradle roll to
the primary department was a very
pretty exercise, Starr took his stand
by Superintendent Day on the plat
form, and while we'll chosen song
was sung the primaries passed by and
extended to the manly little fellow the
hand of fellowship and welcome, after
which the superintendent delivered O
certificate of promotion to the primary.
Master Starr Is beautiful child and
as bright as he is pretty, and no doubt
will make a very fine scholar, and, we
trust, will early learn to love and
trust in the Lord, Jesus. There were
others to whom promotion was due,
but we're not able to be present. These
will receive their certificates later.
The pastor has under preparation
series of sermons on the book of
Revelation. This is a book of con-
siderable mystery, but full of interest.

What the Teacher Must Do.

knowledge is good, but wisdom is
better. The college valedictorian,
trained to take knowledge In rather
than to impart 1t, may have much of 1t
with but little wisdom. He may be
able, as a teacher, to drill boys and
girls in Greek and Latin declensions
and cram them with facts, useful or
Valueless, but If he cannot produce in
them what Spencer calls ''pleasurabls
excitement" and interest he Is fail
ure. His would be the sort of teach.
Ing that harps upon obedience and dis.
cipline and endeavors by force Of rule
and rod to oblige the pupil to study
and learn. The will cannot be forced.
but the real teacher knows we'll that It
can be led. He remembers the remark
Of Rousseau that ''the teachers PROV
ince is less to instruct than to guide;"
that 'he must not lay down precepts,
but teach his pupils to discover them"

Miners Federation
Favors Socialism

Denver, Dol. July AFTER long
fight, which has threatened to disrupt
the Western Federation of Miners in
the fight with the Industrial Workers
of the World, the miners Monday went
ON record as favoring socialism by the
adoption of preamble to the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the organization.
The vote was 2S3 to 66. The preamble
follows:
"First-We hold that there is a
class Struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic condi-
tons
Second We affirm the economic
condition of the producer to be that he
is exploited of the wealth. he produces,
being allowed to retain barely sufficient
for his necessities.
"Third-We hold that the class strug
gle will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
"Fourth-We assert that the work
ing class, and it alone, can and must
achieve its own emancipation.
'Fifth-We hold, finally, that an
industrial union and the concerted po-
litical action of all wage earners is the
only method of attaining this end.
Sixth - Therefore, we the wage
slaves employed in and around the
mines, mills and smelters of the world,
have associated in the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, the mining department
of the Industrial Workers of the
| World"
1t is the announced intention of the
leaders to call convention at Chicago
for the organization of an industrial
and political party, which will place a
ticket in the nomination for the next
| presidential election.
The federation and the brewery
workers union, it is expected, will
| form the nucleus oft he new party.
Before its final adoption the new
preamble goes to the local unions for a
referendum vote. The strikes and
l'ckouts committee presented report
which favored the continuing the
strike in the Cripple Creek district
until the mineowners card system
now in vogue there is abolished.
The convention adopted the report,
The delegates voted down the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
admitting cooks, bartenders, dish
washers and such classes of laborers as
are only indirectly connected with
mining, into the mining department of
| the Industrial Workers of the World
of the Western Federation of Miners.
This action was taken after long de.
bate by vote.
An amendment to the constitution
wasa dopted whereby a two-thirds vote
instead of a three-tourths Of the mem.
beers of a local union shall be necessary
before a strike is decided upon.

and an equal number of ice wagon

The garbage situation is the more
serious and unless speedily remedied
the possibility of evil is startling.
Nearly 755 carts are required to re-

work is six days behind.
The chief difficulty encountered by

who work for wages cannot honorably

Efforts to get men from other cities
have now been made and recruits are
plomised from Philadelphia.
The healt-- department took hold
late Friday and since has used it's
notice powers vigorously and its emer-
gency fund of $S5, 900 without stint, but
so far has been unable to meet condi-
tons effectually.
The officials of the board of health
minated that private citizens would
be doing a public duty if they became
garbage collectors. The mayor has de-
clared that the law does not permit
dealing with civil service employees
who are on strike, and the street
cleaning department has refused to
formally entertain the demands of the
men. 1t was intimated that a settle
ment might be arranged legally.
Demands of the Men.
The men hold to their original de-
mands, the most important of which
are
THAT As hours constitute weeks
work and that overtime be paid at the
rate of 25 cents per hour.
2-That no fines be imposed without
the opportunity for a hearing.
9-That a system of suspension be
practiced instead of fines.
Monday the situation grew hourly
worse. What work was done was in
the vicinity of Chinatown, on the east
side. Meantime the waste accumu-
I lated in other streets. In places re-
fuse was piled high and elsewhere
strewn from curb to curb. Unable to
do better, the health squa4s scattered
disinfectants through miles of high
ways, hoping to hold in check disease
breading germs.
