aim and never was there a body of
men which grew so quickly, and
thank heaven more men are getting
into the work with their honest hearts
every day. The union Is just what
the farmer has been In need Of for
years and now that you have it at
your fingers ends take advantage Of
it to it's full extent ana get behind
the wheel Of future success and push
1t along.
The first step you want to take in
educating yourself in business. meth
DDS is to see that you are not taken,
advantage Of by any man no matter
who it is. Ponder and see If You
are getting your moneys worth or
if someone is just making you believe
you are. Let no processing union
man use the union as cloak to leach
onataae brethren to his own personal,
financial advantage. Show him up.
You want to support yoW officers
to your utmost capacity in ali their un-
dertakings, and look to the "Adyo-
cate" to take care of you and see
that no injustice is done you, as this
paper stands fearlessly for the right
and will not hesitate to expose any
thing to you, which is not right, and
not taken care of by the proper Of
f1cials of the union OF course we do
not think we will ever have to per-
form any unpleasant duty of this kind,
but we Just want you to know that
our eyes are open for you and that we
are not asleep. There are bound to
be a few men in any body who. are
low enough to take advantage of their.
own brother If it will result in any
personal gain to themselves. This is
the element we must be continually
on the lookout for, and we must run
this union just like big business
firm, and if any of these black
sheep" should show up in our ranks,
spurn them like rattle-snake and

ais they are dangerous and an impedi-
ment to our cause. There are hun
Idreds Of good, honest and loyal ex-
ponents of our righteous aim in our
ranks who will fill the gap at mo-
ments call. In union there is
strength" and in strength there is
always success. Once we band our
selves together in he full meaning OF
the world, we will be able to forge
"a chain, SO strong around our op-
pressors that it will hold them se-
curely forever, and the sun will look
down in its full glory on the hap
.piest people on earth, the independ-
ent and prosperous farmer The col
umns of the Advocate are always at
your service and we will always be
on the spot to stand up for you and
voice your sentiments.

unionism into your system and to get
you alive to the fact that you must
prepare to stand by your flag Of right
and face the whole world, and show
them you are to be doWn-trodden no
more. We want every one of you, not
only to be ready to follow where you
are lead, but take sword of justice
in hand and help lead to victory and
make your voice heard in encourage
ment and command.
One of our most important, and I'm
sorry to say, heretofore neglected
branches Of the glorious union IS edu-
cation and cooperation. This is a
grand clause In the standard and one
most necessary, It stands to reason
that the more you educate yourselves
the more you will cooperate and show
your integrity toward your fellow
men.
Has not time shown you that from
the beginning Of the world that as
people became more civilized and
educated the more they co-operated
with one another. Nations tried to
conquer nations and made failure
out Of themselves till they began to
realize that the only way to conquer
their enemies was to cooperate with
one another and become more educat-
ed and as they became more enlighten-
ed they saw the fruitlessness Of con-
tinual war and fought most Of the bat
ties by means of the brains of their
various statesmen and the conse-
.quence is that millions have been
spent in education ever since
Am not right? Unionism g an
education Of itself, and any man who
.fulfills the duties assigned him and
fills to the letter the oath Of alleg-
lance to his fellow unionist, is a pride
ito his country Just think Of the
thousands of years before us, when
our forefathers fought and worked
that their children and descendants
might have the blessings that they
were not able to enjoy while If we
stand up in the proper manner we
will be able to reap the benefits of
our integrity and brotherhood, in the
next few years. What a little time
it would take each day for you to do
a little advocating Of unionism to
your fellow men. 1t would make our
union successful in the highest de-
gree in a short time. Remember we
are bound to win in the course of
time, but brother what a grave of
Tense you are committing against your
fellow beings, when you hold us back
by not entering into the work in the
proper spirit; not only holding back
yourself but thousands Of others by
standing still and letting others do
the work.
For shame laggard, for shame you

DRUNKENNESS THE

MANY VICTIMS Of OVER iNDUL-
cENcE IN POLICE COURT.

For the first time in is years. dur
ing which he has been in police court
more than any other offender,
.ssquaw" Kelly had money to pay his
fine yesterday yesterday morning
when Judge Mann assessed him $40
for drunkenness.
What Kelly's real given name is, no
one has been able to ascertain and he
has always been known as "Squaw"
Kelly in police circles. His over
whelming fondness for booze has
thrown him in the hands Of the police,
times without number and Judge
Mann has heard his story more times
than that Of any other offender ever
brought before him.
Barney Brannon was another drunk
who was put through the "separat-
ing process. Brannon was relieved
Of IS. O. j. Cary also, charged with
over Indulgence was less fortunate
than Brannon, In that he did not have
the S. to pay and in lieu will serve
two days and a half in the city Jail.
James Murphy and Mr.. Doneho
were given an opportunity Of leaving
with suspended sentences and Ed
Morgan, who it is said poses as a
bootblack but Is a professional
"moocher," drew 10 days. Mr.. Baker,
not a relative Of the night sergeant,
will be Jailey Heagney's guest for the
next two days. Drunkenness was
charged in Bakers case.
John Doe was too modest to appear
yesterday morning, preferring to for
felt a cash bond Of SO rather than be
subjected to the torture Of a public
trial. Like so many others who fall
into the hands Of the police and give
the same name, John was charged
with drunkenness.

ALL RIGHT
Thousand Dollars Remain az
Total Debt Of Association-Reve.
nues More and Expenses Less Than
Were Expected by Officers.

The first meeting Of the executive
board Of the local Young Mems Chris
tian association since the completion
OF the new building was held Saturday
evening at the association's building
for the purpose of hearing the report
OF the secretary on the condition OF
the finances, to discuss ma has and
is being done by the association and
map out a course to be followed for
the next four months.
President H. NJ. Allen presided at
the meeting, most Of which was occu-
pied in the discussion of the secre-
tary's report. Secretary Steele in his
report said that Of the $4,000 which
covers the cost Of the building COM
plete, $4,000 had been paid in, leav-
ing about 100000 to be paid on the
total Indebtedness of the association.
Out Of the $4,000 he said that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 had been
subscribed, leaving about $4,000 as
the debt of the association up to the
present time.
Building Is Insured.
For the four months the rent col
lected amounted to $2,375, q like
amount was derived from membership
dues, and together with games, lock
ers and incidentals amounted to al
most $4,000, including subscriptions
to the building fund. The expenses fol-
the starting and maintenance Of the
association was about $500 less than
the revenues. He stated that insur
ance on the building for $4,000 had
been paid for two years and amounted
to $1,000, which consumed the surplus
and caused a deficit Of $500 for the
four months. Il
The condition Of the finances was
somewhat Of a surprise to the direc
tors, as the receipts had been larger
than was anticipated when the build
ing was first projected and the ex
penses were much less than had beel
expected.
Must Be Members.
Numerous matters Of importance
came before the board looking to tn
future welfare Of the association. 4
rule laid down at the meeting whicl
will be adhered to hereafter was tn
renting Of rooms to members only.
The members OF the board wer
divided on the question Of whethe
the interest on the remaining deb
should be paid out Of the buildili
fund or out Of the current receip
fund, but not, however, having retel
ence to subscriptions paid into tn
building fund which are to be use
for that purpose only.
President Allen appointed q con
mittee Of three to secure successor
to j. M. Blazer, the assistant seer
tary, who will leave next week. an
Jess T. Hopkins, the physical dire
tor, who will severe his connectio
with the 7. NJ. G. A. in September .
