not but a dollsl9 to have him a place

not but a dollai9 to have him a place
to call his home, If it is not but
2Qx20. long to see the day when
every American boy and girl that
moves and have their being under
the American flag may have q place,
let it be ever SO humble to call his
or her home, for there are no holder,
renter or leaser in heaven, for we
are taught that this earth is the
shadows of good things to come. 1
sit down and often think of the num-
Der, of families who have no place to
call home, and to say to Bill, Jim
or Tom this lis ours, and what we
make is ours We had better live
hard one year, so to speak, ON
bread and water and get foot hold
than to live poor all Of our lives.
will say to this class of people rt1ise
your standard, make your weight felt,
matter not what shape you are In,
there is room at the top, and a lad
der to climb on Circumstances don't
make us, but we have got to make
the circumstances. We need to, one
and all to put i'm our time. Let
fashion ball players and all the mod
ern fads that we can't derive amy
good, go by, for fear that some that
would indulge would cause some wild
ow's boy to stray. off after 1t and
take the money that should be spent
for bread or home comfort. DON'T
spend this fad and fashion to keep
i'm touch with those that are more
fortunate. Do like Paul, if eating
meat make my brother to offend, eat
no more while you live. Ii going
to base ball and theatres cause one OF
our fellow men to follow and spend
that which should go to the sustenr
anee of his or her friends or families
go NO more while you live Be ear
nest, Faithful, hopeful and true to
mankind of all kith and kind. Be
ever ready to speak kind word
and lend a helping hand whenever
duty may demand, for we know not
what good we may do by giving our
sympathy to any friend or foe. II
all would act the part of the good Sa-
marian, what different world we
would have. We have the material
advnatage-let us develop ut. On,
BOYS and girls, we need financiers
machinists to handle all kinds of ma
chineTy, to- manufacture all kinds OF
raw material, and we need knowledge
to grade it. We have the fields white
unto harvest, but we need compe-
tent laborers to handle it, that IL
may yield a profit. We need 10 quit
spending so much money on state
institutions and spend more al home
where our own children cali derive
some benefit from lit. Oh, may some
statesman be born who may devise
/ some plan where special faNors TO
none and equal privilege to all may
be established throughout the Amer1-
can continent, SO it will be uniform
to all. Oh that miserable tariff that
causes few to get rich off of the
masses of the epople-make 1T impera-
tive on our senators and representa-
tives to battle ON with perseverance
to success, and may we not be salts
fled till all mankind will be equally
favored and protected. a word to.
the sons and daughters of today
you will have to become rs Grants
if you combat equally even as our
fore fathers have. NOTWITHSTANDING
the opportunities are great, the bur-
dens are heavy. The time has come
and now lis when information and
knowledge of all kind, and grades

with the problems of today. We need
