Reputation.

Reputation is one of the prizes FOR
which men contend. 1t is, as Mr..
Burke calls 1t, "the cheap defense and
ornament of nations and the nurse of
manly eXertions." 1t produces more
labor and more talent than twice the
wealth Of country could ever rear up.
1t Is the coin Of genius, and 1t is tho
imperious duty OF every man to be-
stow It with the most scrupulous Jus.
tlce and the wisest economy.-Sydney

ers, the work has been an inspiration.
Supt. Frazier asserted, and it may be
well believed, that if their pay were
cut off from the night work by lack of
funds, they would keep on just the
same from pure love of it. In way,
they are learning as well as the stu
dents. They have been given a glimpse
of the latent possibilities in the life of
the average man and woman. Citizen
ship means something more to the
teachers than it did before, life is broad

Some objection may be raised that
the course in manual training may
breed boys who will some day fill your
| job or mine when we are on strike. We
don't think the objection is well found
ed. Your educated and skilled strike
breakers are far more apt to come from
the capitalist supported industrial or
public schools of the West. Life is
( freer here, more democratic, men are
valued more for what they are rather
than for what they have. We admit the
necessity of education and we will
work our fingers to the bone to give
our boys and girls their chance in life.
These same boys and girls must fill the
trades and professions as we step out
of them, why not an industrial educa-
ton to fit them to be better able to
cope viii life's burdens and problems. A
very small percentage of boys ever ac-
quire high school education. They
leave school unprepareds untitled for
the battle of life. Industrial education
will change that and your boy or girl
will leave school ready to step on to the
rung of the ladder that you have reach
ed after years of toll and hardship or
perhaps have never reached at all.
Your school board has made this be-
ginning. 1t is for you to continue. In
dustrial education in both day and
night schools may become permanent in
Everett if you so wish. When the next
school year begins, visit it, 1t will be
revelation to you as it was to us.
You'll take better hold on public
problems, you'll enthuse over the school
system, you'll realize that here is one
part of American life that belongs now
TO all the people. And if you are dis
posed to think the country has gone to
the dogs, it is the best recipe we can
thing of to restore faith in the future
BRING back little of that optimism

Worlds Greatest Force For Hu-
man Betterment.
TEACHES POWER OF UNITY.

Duty of Workers to Bend Every Effort
and Make Any Sacrifice That May
Be Required to Advance the Cause
Of Organized Labor.
Trade unions are the greatest insti-
tutions on earth, says the Cigarmak-
ers' Journal, because they foster edu-
cation, uproot ignorance and combine
the workers in an indissoluble whole
along lines upon which all can agree.
No working man or woman has ever
yet denied that better wages, shorter
hours and improved shop conditions
are good things. And no sane man
or woman has ever yet denied that
these ends can best be obtained
through the trade unions and trade
union activity.
Many differ, and violently. on reli-
gion, politics. dress, what to eat
when we can get it-and almost every
thing else, but all agree on the matter
of better wages, etc., and we assert
without fear Of successful contradic-
ton that the trade union is the best
means at our command to achieve the
fulfillment Of our desires in that direc-
ton.
Hence the upbuilding. strengthening
and improved usefulness of our unions
should be the first concern of all.
While the unions have accomplished
wonders. especially in our trade, the
only reason they have not done more
for us and others is because the non
unionists for reasons best known to
themselves will remain aloof.
For our own preservation, the good
of others and all eventually. we should
lend every effort in an endeavor to
build up our union and all unions. AS
the trade union movement is better
understood by our own members and
those yet to come and the general pub
lie our unions will grow more rapidly
and will meet with greater opposition
by the intrenched cheap John employ
ers.
While our union is one Of the very
best, 1t is by no means perfect. and 1t
will require the combined wisdom.

rity of all and the best of all to carry

Miners SUSPEND Eeshan.

Miners in the Pittsburg district, in
session at Pittsburg, suspended for
five years Francis Feehan and de-
clared his Office as president and those
of all other district officers vacant.
New officers were elected. This action
was not taken until the convention
had received a decision from Interna.
tional President T. L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers that a district
convention, legally constituted, was in
absolute authority. President Lewis
decision was based on similar one
made by former President John Mitch
ell when Feehan became president
Of the district by the expulsion Of his
predecessor. the late Patrick Dolan.
The international body will officially
recognize the new district organization.
Feehan was expelled because he ig-
nored the convention, refusing to
answer charges made against him and
sending out circulars attacking dele
gates and threatening to suspend them.

Department of Justice De-

Condemnation proceedings. planned
by the Department Of Justice, to ae-

filing, will not be filed until final dis
position is made of the test suit filed
yesterday by Attorney General Wick

Supreme Court.
To clear up title to the Eastern
Branch river front eventually is
planned by the Government, claiping
all land filled in by dumping refuse,

Smith and other owners claim the
reclaimed fats under riparian titles
against the Governments claim of
ownership dating back from the ces-
sion of the District and subsequent re-
clamation by filing with refuse.
II the Government loses the test
suit, the land may be secured by con-
demnation suit. The reclaimed land in
volved in the test suit has been eE-
closed with fence by the Government,

to the flats may be raised, however, in
