Oeiioht of Varied Labor

None but the fully occupied can ap- rreciate the delight of suspended or. rather, of varied labor. It is toll that creates holidays. There is no royal road-yes, that is the royal road to them. Life cannot be made up of recreations. They must be garden spots in well farmed lands.-MN. Gilbert Ann Taylor

TIME TO WAKE UP.

Ii would seem that by this time or
ganized labor would be fully aroused
TO the danger that confronts it. On
the one hand special interests that are
safesuarded by the government are
combining to make the wage Garner
as much a chattel as the black man
was n the first half of the last CEN
tury. On the other hand the courts
are uSurping functions never intended

is the Indifference shown by the work

Sometimes it seems that the worker

belly and a place to lie down. and he
appears TO quit thinking of the future
The other day a federal Judge sus-
pended the legal machinery of a great
state and declared imperative a duly
enacted law intended to safeguard the
little savings of the workers. But the
workers have voiced no protest. They
are we'll fed and have a place to sleep.

But what of the morrow. There
may come a time when it viii be nee
essary to skip a few meals Prosper
Gus times will not last forever? What
of that day when the job is gone. and
the union is gone. and all that is left
will be a few overlords of creation like
Morgan and Rockefeller. and Carnegie
and their ilke You are well fed today
but what of your children in the days

Wry longer follow the example of
the OK? Why longer be content with
a bellyful and place to sleep? Why
longer smilingly accept the dole of the
overlords? Why not get together and
claim your own2
For God Almighty's sake, Think.
THINK,
The black slave was in many respects
better on than the average workman
of today The slave got three meals
day and had a place to sleep. and
| if he was taken sick the master saw
TO it that he was given medical atten-
ton. The black man was property.
and the owner took care of him.
They don't think as much of a white
worker today as they did of black
worker three quarters of century
ago. The white worker is given job
if he is wanted-if not he is told to
go elsewhere If given a job he is re-
tanned only so long as he is able to
work If sickness overtakes him he
is fired. The employer don't provide
him with medical attention. If the
worker can not employ his own physi-
clan he must go without-unless he
happens to be a union man. The mules
in the mines are shown more consider
I'ation than the miners
Something's wrong.
You'll believe that the very first
time the pinch of hard times is felt
by you. When you begin missing meals
you'll begin thinking. but by that time
your opportunity to do will have
passed by.
Why not think now?
Why not show just little bit of
squirrel sense. The squirrel has a fine
time during the summer. but he's got
sense enough to provide for the future
The average mechanic. if steadily
employed. may manage to save enough
TO buy a little home. but that's about
the limit But the employers make
enough profit on his labor to build pal
aces and travel the world around
Why not the worker?
| But you'll never remedy existing
conditions by being content with full
bellies and place to sleep.
| The OK gets that every day
So does the hog.
Why be content with the existence
Of the OK and the hog?
Wake up, Do your own thinking for
a while. Tell the smug-faced and
lsmcoth-tongued politician to go TO.
Study for yourself. Think for your
self.
Strive 10 come into your own king

and begin thinking with your heads.

Mother MCLeran Gone

After well spent life of four score
years Mrs. William MCLeran has gone
to her rest in the land beyond the grave.
She had been "a strong and active woman
most of her life until three years ago
when she was stricken down with para
lysis from which she did not fully recOv
err Some two or three months ago she
went to Omaha and Aurora, Nebraska,
for II visit with her daughters. and re-
turned home about two weeks ago.
Another stroke followed and left her in
such an enfeebled condition that she
continued to fail until nine o'clock and
twenty minutes Tuesday evening when
her spirit took its flight, leaving to her
husband and children the legacy of an
hOnOred and well spent life. Many of
her neighbors in the different communi
ties in which they had lived could give
testimony to many unseltish acts by
which she fed the hungry and cared for
the sick in time of distress
BptSey Blanchard MCLeran was born
at Peacham, Caledonia county, Vermont,
December ), 1929, and died at Audubon,
Iowa. October 26 1909, aged seventy
nine years, ten months twenty-On days.
She was married to her now bereaved
husband, who is eighty five years of age,
on March 10, 1850. In 1852 they moved
to Rock Island, Illinois. and in 1854 from
there to Neponset, Bureau county, in
Illinois. In March, 1880, they came to
Audubon county.
Mrs McLeran was the last one of a
family of eleven children. Her own
family consisted of nine children, six of
whom are still living and all present at
| the funeral today Doctor Charles +.
