ORGANIZED LABOR THANKS
CITIZENS FOR LABOR DAY AID

The Central Trades and Labor Coun-

night. The business transacted was
mostly of routine natuer.
One of the principal things that
came up for attention was the winding
up of the work connected with there
cent Labor Day celebration. 1t was

THE VOICE OF CONSCIENCE
MUST BE HEARD
By MRS. R. L. IRELAND.

ed hour has come and all his past
deeds rush up before him. Trembling
with fear he awaits the coming flu
ture which is utterly hopeless. Some
men sacrifice their conscience in the
accumulation of wealth. They consid
er it only a blushing spirit which
arises up in their bosoms, and unheed-
ing all its admonitions they proceed
onward, thus by every act increasing
their avarice.
By becoming rich, in earthly pos.
sessions which vanish as the snow be-
fore the penetrating rays of the sun,
they lose an eternal inheritance which
would never fade, but grow brighter
and brighter through eternity.
Ambition leads others on. and by
dishonorable means they triumph over
those who they have injured, thus
they are lead to the accomplishment
of their ends appliances of this vain
world, until death, like an awful
dream awakens them to knowledge
of their crime.
They feel the remorse and self
abasement that attended the violations
of the gentle warnings of conscience.
AT first they cannot force the reason
why they might not commit the shame
full act, they will never be detect ed.
but ali! conscience is ever ready to
smite and make them suffer for the
errors of the past.
What is more touching than to visit
the death bed of pentitent sinner
who with contrite heart confesses his
injustice to his fellow being, the in
jury to himself and his ingratitude
to his God! He with filial supplica-
ton, beseeches the Great Redeemer
to heal his broken heart and forgive
his past acts. He was never before
known to acknowledge a fault-he
never felt a remorse of conscience.
and he would gaze upon distressing
scene with an IMPLYING eye but at
the hour of death, conscience upbraids
him for his errors and he trembles
in anticipation of the future.
Then as the voice of conscience
must be heard let us heed it in time.
Let us listen to its gentle whisper
ings in the bloom of health so that
we may not hear its thunderings in
the agonies of death. It is our SOW
ereign dejure; let it be our sovereign
defacto.
It's slightest touches instant Pause:
Debea aside pretenses;
And resolutely, keep its laws,
Uncaring consequences.

Navigating the Air.

The demonstrations of Wilbur and
Orville Wright, the one in France and
the other in the United States, with
heavier-than-air machines, mean more
than most people gather from the
passing moment
, The accidents which they encounter.
and the short distances which they
traverse, in no way lessen the value
of their demonstrations. The fact that
heavier-than-air machines are able to
fly without the use of gas-and that
areoplanes can be controlled while sus-
pended in the elements these things
are quite enough for the present.
Matters of detail will be threshed
out in the tide of time. The basic prin-
ciple is the point-and this has appar-
emily been solved to the satisfaction of
the world.
Orville Wright, in his experiments
at Fort Meyer, has remained in the air
for more than an hour. He has car
ried at least one passenger back and
forth through the elements at an al
titude of more than 200 feet and has
landed him on terra firma at the place
of starting without accident or in
cident.
Wilbur Wright, in his experiments
in France, has been less fortunate. Nj
merous mishaps have occurred to de-
lay his demonstrations, but aviators
say that his experiments are along the
right lines and that minor defects in
the construction of his machine will
soon be remedied.
In a cautious. tentative way. the
Wright brothe are successfully dem
onstrating the feasibility of fight
through the air-and their names will
be perpetuated in the worlds history
as pioneers in a mode of transit that
must ultimately be practical and
profitable.
1t may be several years before the
flying machine enters into competition
with the railroads and steamships in
the carrying of passengers, but that
time is coimng-and it may come
sooner than the most optimistic of us
presume.

and Jackson may be expected within
