PUBLICITY FOR UNIONS.
Humanity's Debt to ORGANIZED Labor
Too Little Known.

It occurs to me that the duty of labor
during the crisis through which it is
passing is to stand firmly and consist
entity for the rights of the wage earners
as citizens on all occasions and at IA,
opportunities, writes James NJ lynch,
president of the International Typo
graphical nnien, in the '.Aiaerican Fed
erationist," The enemy, as typified by
the hostile associations of manufactur-
ers, is constantly placing organized la
Dor before the public in as bad light
as possible, and the unfavorable refec-
tion e emphasized by a parallel illustra-
ten seeking to show that these hostile
associations are not opposed to trades
unions as they are conducted.
How many people are familiar with
trades unions as they are conducted?
How many trades unions avail them
selves of avenues of publicity that are
open to them to place their benefactions
before the people?
How many trades unions realize the
value of favorable public opinion?
The unfair critics know this value
and they are constantly availing them
selves of it.
Our unions, or many of them. content
themselves with raging at their detract
crs rather than themselves seeking the
public ear and public approval.
| If benefits accrue, why should not the
public know of them?
If out-of-work relief is furnished. why
should not the people be made acquaint
ed with that benefaction?
If death benefit is provided, why is
know?
If improved working conditions result
through the combinations of the toilers
| if better wages are secured, II insani
tary conditions are ameliorated, if we
participate in the great movements
against plaques. such as tuberculosis and
typhoid; if we do our part in the cru
the people know?
The national officers, or the majority
of them appreciate the value of such
publicity as / am attempting to outline
but the local unions do not appreciate its
value.
Let Parry Van Cleave and their sue
cessor Kirby, rest in innocuous desue
tude.
Let us sell our own wares instead oi
deriding those of the other fellow.

The union label is being vigorously
and successfully pushed in Philadelphia
The people who advertise with us are
certainly entitled to our support. They
show their friendship for organized labor.

CHRISTIAN WOMANHOOD.

Woman merits the eternal gratitude of The
Christian world for the influence she has zealously
OK erted and Is still eXerting III behalf of religion
and society. 1t is fearful to contemplate what
would have become Of our Christian civilization
without the aid of the female sex Not to speak
OF the grand army of cnusccrated virgins who
tanning the flame of faith and charity throughout
the world, how many thousands of homes are there
in our country from which God withholds His
avenging hand and to which He shows mercy.
solely on account of pious mother or daughter,
Just He willing TO show mercy to SOdOm Tor
the sake of a few righteous souls. and as He re-
stored life TO the young man borne to the tomb for
the sake of his mother. the widow of Main! How
many brothers, who had been long since buried in
the grave Of sin. brought back to life of virtue
through the inercessiOn of pious sister, Just
Lazarus raised from the dead by the prayers
and tears of Mary and Martha! How many daugh
tiers keep alive the spark of religion, which other
wise would be utterly eXtnguished in many a
household. How many are in their families angels
of expiation. atonng By their prayers and mortifi
cation for the sins of fathers and sons! Women
it Is true. are debarred from the exercise Of the
public ministry and the celebration of the Sacred
Mysteries. for they commanded by the Apostle
to keep silence in the churches" But if they
not apostles by preaching, they are apostles by
prayer. by charity and by good example. If they
can not offer up the Sacrifice of the Mass they are
priests in the broader sense of the term. for they
offer up in the sanctuary of their own homes and
Oh the altar of their hearts the acceptable sacrifice
of duplication. praise and thanksgiving to God.
Viewing then, womans dignity and her work in
the cause of Christ. well may apply to her these
words of the Prince of the Apostles: You are
chosen generation royal priesthood. holy nation,
a purchased people"
The nohlest work given to woman is to take care
of her children. The most important part of her
apostleship should consist in instructing them in
the way of God The education of the young should
begin at the mothers knee Mothers should watch
with Jealous eye the first unfolding Of the infant
mind and pour into it the seed Of heavenly knewl-
edge.

Bettys Party.


Once upon time. not long after Easter, lit
tie girl named Betty had party. She was a very
little girl, with short dresses and hair only down
10 her shoulders perhaps she did not know any
better than to do she did But let me tell you all
about it.
It really was a most delightful party, Betty
danced every dance and led every game. and
down TO supper three times running. and per-
fectly happy till her mother said
Now, dear, it's long past bedtime. You may
have more dance game, and then
YOUR party must really come to an end
At that Betty stamped her foot and was very
naughty.
MY party shan't come to an end" she cried.
1T shall go on Just as long as ever please" And
then she cried and cried, until she could not cry
any more
And fairy who was hiding in thefowers she
carried, whispered TO her what to say and she an
nomced:
The night of my party shall last forever.
will send a message to Father lime. who cuts the
hours off the years and tell h jim stop work. his
hour shall not be cut off till say it may. Send an
eagle to Father Time, and tell him that if he
moves his scythe once more will order an army
Of birds TO take him prisoner and cast HIM into my
very dampest, darkest deepest dungeon
So the eagle went up and up through the clouds,
ill he came to the moon, where Father lime has
lived since the world and the moon began Father
Time is old and bent; he Is too busy to brush or
comb his white beard. which has grown right down
to his knees; all day long he stands at the edge of
the moon and cuts the hours in two with his big
scythe as they pass him. He about to cut the
hour of Bettys party, when up came the eagle, all
hurried and breathless
"Father Time Father Time" shouted the
eagle. leave this hour alonel Don't cut it in two.
Betty wishes this hour to last, and she forbids YOU
to touch it with your scythe till she gives YOU fur
Their orders"
Father Time was 50 surprised that he let the
scvtbe slip through his fingers 1t fell with splash
into the sea- millions and millions of miles below.
where some mermaids CHANGED to find it. and for
long time thereafter used it for cutting their hair
sDoes little Betty really mean. what she says|
asked Father Time, all astOnished.
~She does answered the eagle; "and should
advise you to obey her, for she IS IN terrible tenn
ner she is stamping her foot and shaking her fist,
and for one should not to cross her at pres
emit"
"Very we'll" said Father Time; her word must
he obeyed Bring me a new scythe next time you
have business which brings you this way"
Then he wrapped his beard like comforter
round his neck to keep himself warm. lay down on
the face Of the moon and went TO sleep.
So the hour was not cnt in two and the party
vent on and on. The children enjoyed themselves
very tmueh but other people found the arrange,
ent rather less pleasant, for the same hour lasted

all over the world. All the men who doing
hard work had to keep working; all the women
who were hushing babies had to keep on hush
ing; all the children who being slapped or
scolded or washed dosed had just to bear their
troubles we'll as they might, poor dears till, at
last, Betty grew tired of her party. When she had
that invented, and eaten so much cake and ice
cream that she felt extremely sick, she began to
feel that though party PLEASANT thing, bed
was better.
Good night" she said yawning. Nurse, come
and put me to bed -oh-somebody take Faith
er Time new scythe and tell him he may set to
work as he likes.
She rubbed her eyes Wi til her knucbes and tum-
bled upstairs to bed. And | am glad to say that
she very Ill next morning-so i'll that she had
to take medicine for a week. Served her right!
Twenty strong eagles carried new scythe up
TO the moon They woke Father Time and he
grasped the scythe and set to work But he was
never able TO NOV easily and we'll again.
You see the scythe which he had lost had been
given him by the fairies; it specially sharp
one made on purpose for cutting tough hours, and
other sharp enough to take its place lie
hacks away, doing his best; and the eagles bring
him new scythes every few weeks. But the blades
neatly and he has great trouble in chopping off the
twenty-four hours which make day.
So now you know the reason why some days go
slowly. Father Times scythe Is blunt, and he can
cut off the hours. He does his best. remember.
and the wearsome day is no fault of his, but the
outcome of self-willed little Betty's Easter party

OUR DWINDLING BIRTHRATE.

In the period between the first and latest Federal
census-1T90 and 1D00-the American family has
shrunk from an average of IS persons to an average
of 40 Amid mass of comparative statistics COM
plied by W S. Rossier of the Census Bureau. it is
This fact which specially challenges the attention of
the country. Approaching the same fact from va
rious angles Mr. Rossiter points out that we're it
not for this discrepancy between the average white
American family of today and that of 100 years
AGO the population of the United States would now
number 20GOO000 more than it does He also
shows that the number of children under l6 years of
age 70 each family in the Colonial days rs as
connared with 1.5 in 1900; and that the ratio of
children to women has been cut III half There are
many standpoints from which to view this subject,
he admits but from one at least, it may be claimed
that the peope of the United States have concluded
that thew are only about half as well able to rear
children at any rate without personal sacrifice, un-
der the conditions which prevailed in 1900, their
predecessors proved themselves to be under copd-
lions prevailing in 1902 The census officials arc
said to recognize distinct connection between the

Where with mute love thy lips were dumb
As loves great sacrifice unto thy sight,

OLD MOTEERS.

| love old mothers-mothcrs with white hair,
And kindly eyes. and lips grown softly sweet
With murmurcd blessings over sleeping babez.
There is something in their quiet grace
That speaks the calm Of Sabbath afternoons;
\ knowledge in their deep, unfalteriug eyes
That far outreaches all philosophy.
The silyar-threaded fairy-shawl of age
While all the echoes OF forgotten songs
Seem Joined to lend a sweetness to their speech
Old mothers. as they pass with slow-tmed step
Their trembling hands cling gently to youth
strength;
Sweet mothers! as they pass. one sees again
Old garden walks, old roses, and old loves.

NEWSPAPER SUPPORT

A newspaper. if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it,,
must continually decide between
doing its duty and injuring its pocket.
In any position but that of editor the
public is able to separate the individ-
ual home from the collective citizen.
But if an editor does not please them
il is at his pockets they aim. Thus
it is the newspa pers learn who their
friends are
The man who reads newspaper
and admires it all the year around,
yet gives his business support to some
other concern, is not friend to the
former newspaper. Admiration alone
will not run newspaper. There are
too many men who expect an editor
to slave in defence of their pet notions
and hobbies, advocate their views
against the strongest opposition and
cody withhold their business support
by which alone newspaper can live.
Talk about a paper having a public
duty to perform and an editor having
to work his principle cheap when
others stand back and extend a luke
warm neutralty.-New London Press
We can heartily endorse the above
as true statement of the facts.

MONEY WHEN TRAVELLING

When away from home it is always
a problem how 10 carry expense
money without any risk. To pro-
vide for this the First National
Bank has arranged with a large
Chicago Bank to sell their Travel
lers' heckS'.
These cheeks are payable anywhere
in the world. If you are going to the
old country you can see on the face of
the cheek just how much foreign
money it is worth, while in the
United States it is payable in dollars.
You can divide your money into
ten and twenty dollar checks and
then use the m to pay hotel bills and
other expenses as needed. No ident-
itication is necessary except to sign
your name on the check.
When you plan to take little trip,
the Bank would be pleased to give or
send you booklet telling all about
Travellers Checks.

Orphans" will be the attraction at
the DAILY Theatre April 18th when
the Fred G. Conrad Company will be
seen in the play. During all last
summer especial preparations for this
presentation of the celebrated drama
were made, and an especial search
was carried on for actors of ability
who had had experience in the 1.-Two
Orphan SO as to insure the best
possible performance and meet the
demands of the authorized Kate Clax-
ton Version are thus avoided and the
full power and beauty of the great
play revealed. A special equipment
of scenery is carried and unusual care
has sbeen devoted to the costumes
and other details.
