THE NEW ROMANCE.

Kiss me, but do not muss my hair,
Nor be so much in haste
Your arm-my frock, If touched. VIII
tear
To put about my waist.
Love me, but wisely; tears and signs
loathe, and fear to see
A tortured brow and jealous eyes
Bent angrily on me.
Tell me you love me, II you must,
Remembering once tbs said
That iteration breeds disgust
And fervor is ill-bred.
And I'll give you love discreet,
For passion uncontrolled
With pallor, wrinkles and crows feet
Turns pretty women oldl

That all the glory of the universe
tIay beautify it, Not the narrow pane
Of one poor creed can catch the radiant
rays
That shine from countless sources. Tear
away
The blinds of superstition. Let the light
Pour through fair windows, broad as
truth itself,
And high as heaven-Tune your ear
To all the wordless music of the stars,
And to the voice of nature; and your
heart
Shall turn to truth and goodness as the
plant
Turns to the sun. \ thousand unseen
hands
Reach down to help you to their peace
crowned heights:
And all the forces of the armament
Shall fortify your strength. Be not afraid
To thrust aside half truths and grasp thu
whole"

BOYCOTT TWISTED

One bumps up against some very
funny arguments on this boycotting
business. For instance, q prominent
gentleman in Everett remarked apropos
of the Elks' controversy that they
would refuse to go the theatre where
Stormfels played in the future. A union
man said, "Why, that would be boycott
ting, and you don't believe in boycott
ting" "No, no. said the gentleman,
'we'll do this Individually" See the
twisting of his mind2 You may with
draw your patronage, individually, for
any reason or no reason. Surel In
alienable right! But if you and your
neighbor get your heads together and
agree that you will both withdraw your
patronage, you are boycotting. And
boycotting is un-American and contrary
to the constitution What do you know
about that kind of argument?

LINCOLN'S IDEA

To secure to each laborer the whole
product of his labor, or as nearly as
possible, is a worthy object Of any good
government. With some men liberty
means for each man to do as he pleases
with himself and the product of his
labor; with others it means to do as
they please with other men and the
product of other mems labor That
issue will continue in this country when
my poor tongue shall be silent. 1t is
the eternal struggle between right and
wrong. The common right of humanity
and the divine right of kings. In what
ever shape it develops itself it is the
same tyrannical spirit that says: "You
toll and work and earn bread and I'll
eat il. it."-Abraham Lincoln.

REFUSE TO
LEASE LAND
Snohomish County Grange
on Record AS Against
the AsiaticS.

The farmers of Snohomish county are
fully alive to the menace of Japanese
labor and do not intend to allow the
Japs to get foothold in the agricul-
tural part of this county if they can
help it. With the knowledge of the
manner in which Jap lessees have ruined
fruit and farm lands in California fresh
in their minds they do not intend to
allow them to gain a foothold. Snoho-
mish county wants farmers but they
don't want Asiatics and they belitve
the best way to keep them out is to
refuse to lease them land. AT recent
meeting of the Snohomish county
grange they took decided action in the
matter and will not only refuse to
lease their own lands but will use ev-
cry effort to induce farmers and land
owners not members of the grange to
take the same action
This step of the grange inspired the
adoption of the following resolution By
the Hoquiam convention of the State
Federation of Labor:
"Whereas, the Snohomish County
Grange, at recent meeting decided
that its members would not lease their
land to Asiatics nor trade with anyone
who employed Asiatics, and,
"Whereas, the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor has gone on record in
favor of Asiatic exclusion; therefore,
be it
''Resolved, by the Washington State
Federation of Labor, in annual con-
vention assembled, that we do most
heartily endorse the action of the Sno-
homish County Grange, and be 1t
further
Resolved, That copy OF these reso-
lutions be forwarded to the Snohomsh
County Grange, to the Central Labor
Council of Everett and to the press"

ORGANIZE

The organization germ is spreading
this spring and the latest craft to be-
come innoculated is the teamsters. The
third time is the charm and the boys
rain and snow, doing their part toward
making busy, hustling city, declare
they are going to have a union that any
body of men could be proud of. A num-
ber of the boys met in Labor Temple
last Wednesday night and formed a
temporary organization with the old
war horse, dad" Haines, installed as
temporary president. A temporary sec
retary and treasurer were chosen and a
charter from their International will be
sent for at once. Wednesday night
was happy night for dad" Haines,
who is a union man all the way. No
man in Everett felt worse than DAD
did when their charter was surrendered
over a year ago, but he knew that some'
time the boys would see the light and
come back to the fold again.
Electrical Workers, No. l9l, must be
given credit for getting the boys on
their feet again as they have been do
ing efficient missionary work for some
time. And you, members of other crafts,
lend helping hand to the new union,
whenever and wherever you get chance,
just remember how somebody guided
your footsteps when you were young
organization. Another meeting viii be
held Tuesday evening, March LIST, in the
Labor Temple.

NEW LOCAL
ORGANIZED
The Theatrical Employees
Form Union and Affiliate
With Central Body.

The glad hand of organized labor of
est recruit, the union of stage hands
and theatrical employees. The boys
who work for the Everett play houses
have been quietly organizing for months
and have held numerous meetings at
which the necessity of organizing for
self-protection was earnestly discussed
and unionism eagerly talked over. Sew
eral of the boys belonged to unions of
other crafts and know from their own
experience how important it is to work
as a unit for better working conditions.
It was not hard for these boys to bring
the others around to their way of think
ing and negotiations were commenced
with the international Theatrical En-
ployes and Stage Hands Alliance for
charter from t..at body. Progress was
slow as lot of red tape had to be UNI
wound and Lee Hart had to be con-
vinced that Everett was really in Wash
ington instead of British Columbia.
There had to be so many play houses
and SO many men employed-sometimes
the boys wondered if Lee Hart would
not want to know the color of their
hair, if they were married or single,
if they had sunny dispositions or if any
of their ancestors ever had the measles.
All things come to him who waits,
however, and the boys got the kinks
Strengthened out of their trouble fin
ally and will get their charter when the
International convention meets this
summer. Pending the arrival of the
charter the boys will hold their local
organization together and meet regu-
largly They have already been ad-
mitted into the Trades Council and
their delegate was seated at the last
meeting. The stage hands local is a
pretty lusty younger. Here's hoping
it will grow.

GRAND OPERA
PER WIRELESS

1t begins to look as if an enterpris-
ing inventor had perfected can opener
for use on canned opera" Last week
thirty five wireless stations in New
York, New Jersey. New England and
on various ships in different harbors,
listened to the singing of grand opera
by the metropolitan Opera company.
They listened without the trouble of
going to New York-for the Hertzian
waves carried the sharps, flats and
naturaIs through the atmosphere to
these thirty-five different locations,
and there the audiences, large and small,
heard, if they did not see. "Cavaleria
Rusticana" and "Pagliacci."
That such thing never entered the
widest dreams of opera singers or pro-
dueers of generation ago, it is hardly
necessary to state; but the wonders of
electricity combined with the increasing
knowledge and appreciation of atmos-
pheric vibration has brought the seem
ingly impossible down to a business
basis. The time is not far distant, ac-
cording to the promoters of this sound
producing and magnifying apparatus,
when steamer departing from New
York will have New York opera every
evening until half way to Europe. Then
the American music will be shut off,
and that being given in London or Paris
picked up" by the wireless and con-
tinued until the vessel is locked.
Truly we live in an age of marvellous
things! Nor are our scientists of today
content with merely making discov-
cry; they Immediately turn it to com
mercial use and human advantage. In
this particular case it looks as if the
usual concerts given aboard the great
sea going hotels would soon become a
thing of the past. No one who travels
abroad unless he wished to see as we'll
as hear-would prefer a cabin musicale
to listening to a Caruso or a Sembrich.
Atmospheric grand opera is probably
in its infancy; but the pace at which
we live and invent and perfect things
means that the merely thought-of to-
day is the accomplished fact tomorrow.
The combination of sound reproducing
machines with improved moving pic
lures may yet bring about an apparatus
which will, in every sense of the term,
bring grand opera TO the music lovers
home, hotel, or steamer cabin without
the necessity of standing in line for
tickets or purchasing boxes in advance
Anything to save time--and increase
our joys, even though they have to be
taken on the flyl
When the wireless opera is as firmly
established as the telephone itself, there
win be only one important question
worthy of the name before the pro
ducers of such operas. For though thi'
latest invention does much, it is not
to be though that it can eradicate th,
human attribute that causes more
musical up-sets among human sons
birds than anything else.--plain every
day jealousy

MAYOR URGES BETTER WAGES

and family, furnish them with medical
attention, educate them and purchase
all other necessities.
Mayor Pratt acquired these facts
through personal investigation of con-
ditions made necessary by proposed
raise in the city wage scale. He will
urge the adoption of a new wage scale,
giving common laborers 25c more per
day. The present scale is 1915 per day.
For teamsters he urges that the scale
be raised from $3.50 to 90, the teamsters
furnishing their horses and wagons.
