TRADE UNION PUBLICITY
BY REV. CHARLES STELzEL
Sixth of a. Series Of Articles on
Practical Methods of Union
Advertising.
Influence Of the Crowd Factor
to Be Reckoned With in
Successful Advertising.

Why men so long resist an appeal
depends largely upon the individ-
uality of each man. A man is con-
;trolled by so many factors that there
is constant struggle as to which
will gain the supremacy. There may
be strong desire to become a men,
Der of labor union, but another ele-
ment enters in, which sways him
more powerfully than the first, with
the result that he is overmastered.
The only way in which to overcome
the resisting elements is to have the
desire to join the union so persis-
tently and so persuasively presented
to him that this desire will finally
conquer. For this reason the claims
Of the labor union upon workingmen
should be constantly brought home to
them. The oftener you can make a
man think of joining the labor union
the easier it becomes for him to
finally do so. .,'
Men move in crowds, But the
crowds. usually: move in the opposite
direction to that in which you desire
the Individual to move. The influ-
ence of the crowd is rarely construc.
tive and uplifting. It's tendency is
downward toward the barbaric ele-
ments in human nature. The mob
does not believe in organization, and
yet, curiously enough, it moves in the
mass. This makes it all the more diff
| ficult for the individual man to step
down and cat for himself. While un-
der the influence of the crowd his
| mind becomes part of the mind of
! the mass, which makes him think and
act differently than he would as an
individual. - z - g.,
There is sort of collective mind,
which has in common some very ordi
nary qualities. Because of this the
/ crowd. can never ascend to-: the
heights Of the high.minded individual
who may be one Of it's members, nor
| can he live out the ideals which he
personally possesses. lsz =. n.
!, It should be the function Of the
labor union to call out the Individual
from the influence Of the crowd, and
start in him a tendency which will
finally land him in the trades union
Thist may be done by the powerful
and attractive presentation Of those
things for which the labor union
stands. : & ..2s%. y %% EEs !, .S 't:

NEW YORK, Sept. Indications
Of "skyscraper revival are con-
tanned in the list Of plans filed with
the New York Bureau Of Buildings

bureau has been resumed: .~r

It is estimated that Is OF the struc-

UNLETTERED PEOPLE
IN UNITED STATES
Percentage Of IIliterates as Shown
BY the United States Census. -.

IAN illiterate is a. person 10 years
Off, age or older who can not write
any language" This is the test ap-
piled in the United States Census
compilations. 1t may be assumed
that one who can not write can not
.retad, and this y true with few ex-
ceptions. In 18Th there were in each
1000 of population Of the United
States 20 0illiteihtes; in 1880 there
were 40; in 1894 1t had fallen to 1873
and in 1900 to 1917, Thus it appears
that in our county about one person
in every nine Of 10: years and over is
illiterate. In England, Scotland and
Holland there is but one in forty, in
Switzerland one in 1855, in Denmark
one in 500, in 5weden and Norway
one in 1850 and In Germany illteracy
is almost unkr4wn. The ratio in
1903 among alljthe recruits in the
army was but s1e in $500, and illi-
teracy is probably even less among
the German PEBBLE generally than
among the recruits. ~-~I.. -,

FORT WANTS UTILITIES BOARD
In Inaugural Address Governor Asks
 For Corporations Law.

TOT corporations Law.
 Trenton, N. J.. Jan. 22.-Urgent rec.
 ommendation that law regulating
 corporations be passed was made by
 Governor John Franklin Fort in the
 address following his induction into
 office. He said no corporation should
 be permitted to issue bonds or stocks
 without certificate from a commis-
 sioner of corporations that such issue
 was legitimate and necessary. Honest corporations could only be benefited by such law. He urged also that bill creating a public utilities commission on the line of New York's commission be passed.
 The judicial and grand jury systems of the state required reform, he said. As for the bishops excise law, in the light of the latest election he viewed 1t as the will of the people It must be enforced, he said, and be would refuse to reappOint any prosecutor who might fail to proceed against its violators. He said the governor should have power to remove after trial on charges any mayor who might be derelict in enforcing the excise law or any other statute. The governor should be re- sponsible directly to the people. he said. and should have power to compel obedience to the law.
 The installation ceremony took place in Taylor's Opera House. At noon the governor elect and Governor Stokes drove from the statehouse to the thea ter. where they were received by the senate and assembly in joint session on the stage. The auditorium was packed with spectators from all parts of the state. In stage boxes sat the family. Seventeen guns were fired behind the statehouse as Fort took the oath of office. Fort held the Bible himself instead of permitting If to be held by Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, the secretary of state. which would have been in accordance with custom. Brief remarks were made by Stokes on turning over the great seal of the state. and then the new governor addressed the legisla- tors.

There was a telephone at her elbow. No need to hunt through lists to find a number she had known so long by heart, the three figures which had re- iterated themselves so often, monoto- nously insistent, slyly persuasive, re- beating themselves even in her dreams, so that she awoke at times shiyering with the vision in which she had listen- ed to temptation and had called to him across the wilderness of streets and men.

R. w. Jones before leaving last Sun
day evening for California, stated that
the Jones block which was burned,
sometime ago, would be rebuilt and
also stated that Adams & Pilgerrim
had purchased John Peters interest
in the site and foundation and would
build in conjunction with him.
Mr.. Pilgerrim, of the latter firm,
when interviewed, stated that they
would go ahead and assemble material
for Is by 100 twO-story brick block
and If the weather permitted work
would be begun at once. The building
will be but two stories and will have
the latest style in display windows
and modern equipment throughout.
The walls will be made heavier and
put up SO as to accommodate another
story If the conditions warrant Its
erection. Mr.. Pilgerrim said that VIM
Warberg, who owns the lot adjoining
is also figuring on building. If he con-
cludes to do so the four store build
ings will be erected together.

RURAL ROUTE TWO ORDERED.
Government Notifies Local Office o.
Accepted Route.

Postmaster GreenhOw has for sew
eral weeks been receiving letters from
the department concerning rural route
number two, which was applied for
about the same time that route one
was ordered and only short time ago
the route as approved by the inspect
or, was approved by the department.
The route will leave the city limits
and go north one-half mile, thence
west one mile; north one mile; east
three miles; south one mile; west
one mile and then south three miles
through city and out across Rock
Creek viaduct; thence east one mile; /;
south three miles; east one mile
thence south to south line of section
eleven; east one mile; north two
miles; west one mile; north three
miles, and then turns west toward city
limits.
On route one Vincent Wiley was
appointed carrier, with G. F. Raymond
substitute, and the route will be
started December first. All of the
farmers on this route are required to
get regulation mail boxes and place
the same upon post SO that the car
rier will not be obliged to leave his
rig. The boxes must be of regula-
ton size and character. Postmaster
Greenhow urges the ranchers on both
routes to begin at once putting route
address on each letter which they send
out to their friends in order that the
routes may be plainly marked on all
mail coming to them and insure accur-
acy in delivery.

MIDLAND JUBILEE SINGERS.

The Midland Jubilee Singers were
greeted last Saturday evening with
crowded house. The first part OF the
program was rather surprise, as
they appeared in picking Cotton" cos
tune, but they proved they could sing.
We cannot dwell on every number,
but there was about their melodies q
pathos and feeling that made you feel
they saw what they were singing
about. This was really a predomin-
ant characteristic of all their singing
from grave to gay The Jubilee Male
Quartette sang Sunday evening at the
English M. e. church to packed
house, giving us an entirely different
program.-News, Eudora, Kan.
The Nightingale Jubilees, furnished
by the Midland Lyceum Bureau, were
with us three days during our 1906
Chautauqua Assembly They gave the
best of satisfaction. They confined
themselves mostly to plantation melo-
dies and camp meeting songs, and al
ways pleased the audience, We have
only heard good words for them from
every one. we are glad to recommend
them.-Albert Thompson, OF Program
