WHY UNIONS EhIST.
Organization Is a Necessary Measure
Of Protection.

The experience of wage earners
through all the years of trades union
history proves that those trades that
were organized were less likely to be
attacked by the employers while in
those trades that were unorganized
the pairing down process is constantly
going on-a little off here and there
or substituting child labor for the la
ways of reducing labor cost where the
employees are unorganized.
Trades unions exist because IA large
number of the workers understand
these elementary facts.
They will grow stronger as more of
the workers come to realize that to
hold a perfunctory membership in a
union is a mere fraction of the duty
Of unionism.
There are still many wage earners
who refuse to accept the union idea,
and to reach this mass, whose coop
Grafton is essential to the ultimate
success of unionism the cause needs
the best missionary efforts of every
member
Many of those now outside of the
union are there because Of disrespect
shown the union by it's members.
If member of a family tells you
that other members of the family are
mean you get to believe after awhile
that 1t is mean family, and you
would not wish to have any of your
relatives marry into it.
In the same way members speaking
poorly of a union give nonmembers
the impression that the union is
mean institution that they do not wish
to be identified with.
We exist largely because we are
driven together by industrial cOndi-
lions, or, In other words by the lash of
the employer, but we cannot be effec-
tive in the higher sense of success I'M
less we put united and intelligent eff
fort behind our movement.
We cannot stand still.
The predatory interests are constant
ly increasing prices of necessities, and
year by year we find it costs more to
live.
If we stand still we find ourselves
growing constantly poorer.
To hold our own we must be well
organized and united and forge ahead.
If we are well organized now we
need to be better organized for the
struggle to come.
Perfection Is not easy of attainment,
especially in human associations, but
we have right or privilege to aim
high and to come as near perfection as
possible.
The union as n whole represents the
sum total of all the efforts Of all its
members; therefore let us not be sat
isfied to depend upon FIVE in hundred
to contribute all the effort, but, on
the contrary. let each one Of us re-
solve to contribute the best and most
perfect work we are capable Of to this
union cause. Shoe Workers Journal.

Labor organizations have long ap-
preciated the necessity for uniform
labor laws throughout the Union.
Commissioner Charles P. Neill of the
bureau of labor names the following
subjects upon which he believes there
should be uniform state legislation:
Employers liability. the guarding of
dangerous machinery, industrial by
giene, compulsory reports on a uni
form basis of all industrial accidents
and the compulsory registration of
deaths, showing facts as to occupa-
ton and the like. He also recon-
mends uniformity Of legislation regu.

YEARNING FOR THE
FADING ROADSTER.

What has become of the old time prin
ter. once so familiar before the inva-
sion of the linotype machine? He used
to show up with the first frost. You
found him in the office early some De-
tOber morning, toasting his back be-
fore the stove. His first request was,
Boss, may look over the exchanges ?"
and he was soon paving around among
the papers on the editorial table. BY
8 o'clock he had levied sufficient tribute
upon the boys to get a shave and a drink
and after dinner he was picking up bre-
vier in a way to make an expert envi-
Gus. All winter he worked as steadily
as a clock. Many were the stories he
told around the back room fire on Il
Sunday afternoon. Though, without
much education, his very wanderings
had made him an entertaining person
age.
In the spring, however, when the tiny
bees buzzed lazily against the
window pane and the lilac bushes in the
courthouse yard We're putting forth
their fragrant lavender plumes and the
night air was pungent with the odor of
burning brush and sweet with earthly
eXhalatiOns of unturned sod, and every
where could be heard the laughter of
children playing in the twilight, a
change came over the spirit of the tramp
printer. He felt the call of the road,
with its luxurious days of animal de-
light under the clear skies of the spring,
with its privilege of work when you
wish and idle when you will. He wish
ed to see the boys again, to visit the
fifty offices where he had friends So

Notwithstanding the cry that has been
raised that no eXtraneous matters of
legislation should be introduced into
this special session Of the Legislature,
we are Of the belief that some of the
wrongs committed by that august body
last winter should be righted by this
session. Covered by the cloud OF dust
kicked mp by the scandal over certain
state offices. some vicious Legislation
wa, enacted which would have had hard
shedding had the people realized what
was going on. One Of the most fragrant
wrongs committed was the law that was
passed taking from non taxpayers the
right to sit on iuries. This bill is a
corporation bin, pure and simple and
had the unqualified backing of we'll
known corporation attorneys. Corpora
lions want that law because they be-
ieye that the property owner when sit
ting on Jury when, for instance, dam
age cases against corporation are be-
ing tried, is more apt to be favorably
inclined toward the protection of prop
erty rights than the non property own
er. 1t is an insult to the intelligence
OF thousands OF citizens of tho state
who have not been fortunate enough to
obtain property to tell them that they
arc incapable of rendering justice in ac-
cordance with the evidence submitted.
Workingmen are perhaps the hardest
nit by this law, but its unfairness can
not but be apparent to any fair minded
man. This law should be repealed at
this session as we'll as the one relegat-
ing nomination Of supreme court judges

TO INCREASE VALUE or FARM
Proper Application Of Energy and

Working Farm.

| The first thought, on buying farm
is bow can its value be increased
This. naturally. will mean more profit
While making the soil richer is the SO.
luton, 1t is not SO easily done, when
the entire farm is considered, while
constantly cropping and selling pro-
duce from it, says the Philadelphia

In a great many instances the farm
er engaging on new land endeavors
to make it more productive, and in his
efforts lessons the soil fertility. For
long time the farm may be steadily
growing poorer and yet annually pro-
ducing bigger crops.
All the manure applied has its
value returned in one or more crops,
and these rob the soil of some kind
OF fertility that the manure itself did
not supply to them. Wherever potash
and phosphate have become SO ex-
hausted that grain crops cannot be
grown without an application Of these
minerals to each crop it is an indica-
tion that the soil is becoming poorer.
The farmer manures for crop rather
than for the land, and is satisfied IL
in each crop the money value Of the
fertilizer used is returned, with rea-
sonable profit
But there are other methods than
making land rich to increase it's
value. Some times better cultivation
alone will accomplish this, though al
ways with this better cultivation
comes more rapid soil exhaustion. In
order to secure his living, the farmer
must exhaust fertility. Fertility is
the raw material that nature sup
plies, and the farmer turns it into
as many forms as he chooses, and Of
kinds that will most likely give him
profit Here, then. Is call for en-
