Organized Labor.

solomon, the WiSeSt ruler OF the
Jewish theocracy. 'recognizedthe pro-
priety, and encouraged the workmen
who erected the great temple, to Or
ganize with three degrees -appreH-

men, which is claimed as the founda-
ton of that great and powerful or
ganization known as Free Masonry.
The wisdom not only as an in
herent right and privilege, but from
a business necessity; well regu-
lated intelligent organization of the
wage worker has been recognized by
the Wisest rulers of men and the
truest friends of mankind, as a best
means to obtain a just end. It cannot
be successfully disputed, in this, or
any other country, that where labor
has the best organization. they fare
the best and prosper the most, and
all fair minded capitalists who really
have desire within their hearts to
recognize the employees as really
their fellow citizens and want to see
them enjoy the privileges they are
entitled to-'.Life. Liberty and the
Pursuit of Happiness" But upon the
other hand, men who oppose or
ganized labor and even deny their in
herent right to organize, are men flt
only to be kings. or lords of manors.
In fact they have that ambition of
greed, to own the earth and the in
habitants thereof, and control the bal

ways to accomplish their own selfish
purposes. Let me say to you my

j. C. CURTIS FOR REPRESENT.
ALIVE.

The friends of ]. G. Curtis have
finally prevailed upon him to allow
his name to be used as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Belmont county representative in the
legislature, confident that he will re-
ceiye both the nomination and cleo
ton and that he will be true to his
trust when he takes his place on the
floor Of the legislative hall. Mr..
Curtis is now serving his third term
as clerk OF the village Of Brookside,
and his record for integrity and ell
cheney is too well known In the dis
trict to need repeating here. His
friends, in asking the support Of the
workingmen of Belmont county, feel
that they are asking no favor of
them, but merely showing them a
sure way Of caring for their own in
terests. And they also believe that
the workers will see this and put him
IN office with a good majority.

1ual message to Congress:

nual message to Congress:
Labor is prior to and independ-
ent of capital. Capital is only the
fruit of labor. and could never have
existed If labor had not first existed.
Labor is the superior Of capital, and
deserves much the higher considera-
ton. Capital has its rights, which
are as worthy of protection as any
other rights. Nor Is it denied that
there is, and probably always will be,
relation between labor and capital
producing mutual benefits"
1t is said that the destiny of civil
liked communities are determined by
three forces-wealth, intelligence
and education. 1t must be admitted
that wealth is the greater of any Of
these forces, that is, it has greater
influence with men. especially in con-
trolling men in the exercise of their
right of suffrage.
This control would naturally be ex-
ercised for the benefit of those who
possess the wealth.
The two remaining powers must
be fully exercised by those who do
not possess the wealth In order to
counterbalance the undue influence
of wealth. It is well said ''that the
price Of liberty Is unceasing Yigi-
lance" Intelligence Is q force both
natural and acquired, therefore educ.
cation Is the means whereby we de-
Yelop intelligence. The educational
facilities afforded by the respective
labor organizations. can be utilized.
to promote and qualify their respect
i've members to comprehend the Ques-
lions that we as American citizens
are called upon to determine. We
should therefore determine these
questions as freemen, sovereigns, not
subjects.
Therefore my fellow countrymen,
the great question between employer
and employees must finally be deter
mined BY an appeal to force, or an
appeal to reason. An appeal to f0rce
means military power, an appeal TO
reason means the establishment of
