INACTIVE MEMBER.

1t is pity that the trade-union
movement, with so humanitarian
an aim, the benefits of whose &C.
tivity is so widely diffused and
depend to so great an extent upon
the assistance of all, should find
itself similarly afflicted with all
forms Of organized effort in hav-
ing within it's ranks those who
seek to reap where they do not
sow, who expect so great a re-
turn without a contribution of ef-
fort and even hamper the work Of
the organization with their fault
finding proclivities. The only
consolation that can be found by
those who regret this condition
is that the number is no greater
than it is.
Surely it should appeal to these
fellows that there is. something to
do in a trade-union besides the
payment of dues. A labor organ
ization is not an automatic ma
chine. The progress that has been
so far attained by the movement
has required hard work and lots
of it. The progress in the years
ahead means much more of the
same, and there is plenty for all
to Go. 1t is idle to expect that
mere dues-paying will achieve re-
suits, for the fullest treasury.
while OF great assistance in the
prosecution of active work, is still
less Of value than the effort and
interest that must be behind it if
progress is to be made.
3 But he counts himself a good
!. union man this fellow. He will
B show his paid-up card with great
u pride. Been a member of the
!. union ever since he served his
time, and never scabbed' in his
life. But appoint him on a COM
mittee to assist in some of the
work Of the organization that
means the sacrifice of a few mo-
ments of the leisure time that the
union has secured for him, and
hear the howl. He hasn't time
let some one else do it. If it
hadn't been for the activity of the
union in the past, however, he
would likely have been working
a couple more hours per day for a
considerably less wage, and he
would have found time for that
and counted himself fortunate
that he had a job.
No, these fellows are not verv
numerous, and we are truly glad
Of it. But the point is, there
should not be one. No movement
on earth repays activity in it's be-
half to greater degree than trade
unionism and none deserves this
= activity in greater measure. With
every member doing his share in
the work there is no limit to the
things that labor can do. The
tools Of progress are ours, all that
4 is needed is all hands to aid in

To the Editor Of the Labor World:
On this Sunday afternoon I feel
like asking you a question that has
bothered me for some time. I have
just returned from church, and won
der, as I have long wondered, why
the women outnumber the men about
seven to three in church attendance.
I have been much grieved over the
absence from our churches Of men,
and young people of both sexes. Both
seem to have an aversion for attend
ing church. It may be that it is out
Of your line to discuss such matters
but I would like to get your opinion
on them. Don't mention my name.
Yours truly. ~

BETTER EXAMINE HIS HEAD.

Some contemplate, degenerated,
brainless cur, who has been mis-using
space in the Crandon yellow Sheet, :"
sometimes known as the Forest Echo,
for the past three months, devoted
something over three columns in last
weeks issue on ''the career of G. G..
Himley," brother of the owner of
this paper.
The literary ability and knowledge
of facts displayed by the author would
do an injustice to ten year old child
in the sixth grade of our public schools,
and the ADVERTISER does not propose
to waste space in reply to such lies.
AS a citizen remarked the other day,
'there are brighter men biting plaster
off the wall" in the Northern Hospital
at Winnebago, than this literary
giant" of Crandon."
The yellow Sheet is attempting to
throw sand in the taxpayers eyes,
while it's faithful henchmen are bleeding
the county treasury, and prosecuting
those who differ with them politically
under the guise of reform.

add another delivery clerk to the force.
The company now has two delivery
clerks on the Wabeno branch and one
on the Soperton line. The store is very
likely the largest in the county and
always carries a complete and up-to-
date stock of)goods.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox on
Health.

If you were presented with a house
and knew that you must occupy it dur
ing all your natural life, and that I'M
der no circumstances could you sell it
or exchange it for another, would you
not at once set about making that
house as comfortable, sanitary and at
tractive as possible?
If the house lacked every attribute
of beauty, if it possessed no pleasing
feature, you would nevertheless feel it
your imperative duty to overcome the
discouraging conditions, by continual
effort and careful planning, If the
house had been substantial and cOmfOr-
table, but by wrong usage, or by sud
den disaster bad lost it's vorth and
beauty, yet you would make 1t the
business of your life torestore it,
Your body is house which has been
presented to you, and your mind and
spirit must occupy it until the day of
departure for other planes of existence.
However dissatisfied you may be with
that body-house, it is the only one you
can inhabit here on earth.
Therefore common sense reasoning
makes it your imperative duty to set
that house in order aud render it as
and attractive as possible.
You may say that 1t is au ugly build
ing and that no amount of labor can
render it beautiful. But such state
ment can be disproved by little OBJ

THE REASON.

Here is a good thing from little
country newspaper away down in Mis-
souri,. relative to the question of the
mail order houses, and the attitude OF
the home merchant and the home pa
per. The Advertiser commends it to
the attention of every reader:
eve wonder if our home merchants
ever stop to think why the big mail
order houses are so successful. Their
success lies in their continual advertis-
ING of their goods. They never stop
advertising because of change of sea-
son or for any other reason. The coun-
trv newspapers have been fighting
these mail order houses hard for years
for the benefit of the home merchant,
and some of the merchants appreciate
this and some of them do not. If the
mail order houses would practice ad-
vertising by "spurts'' in certain sea-
sons of the year, like some country
merchants, they would soon go out of
business. While the local or home
merchant keeps his business under a
bushel," so to speak. or out of their
local paper on account of hot, dry or
wet weather. or bad roads, they are
giving the mail order houses the adj
vantage of them before the people, for
those houses never stop advertising for
anv kind of weather or for dull times. :"

A man who has made a happy home
for his wife and children, no matter
what he has not done in the way of
achieving wealth and honor: if he has
done that he is grand success. If he
has not done that, and it is his own
fault, though he be the highest in the
land, he is a most pitiable failure We
wonder how many men in mad pur-
suit of gold, which, characterizes the
age, realize that there is no fortune
which can be left to their families as
great as the memory of happy home
To make bop into pure man, a
mother must do more than pray She
must live with him in the sense of
conrad and closest friend. She must
stand by him in time of temptation as
the pilot sticks to the wheel when rap
ids are around. She must never desert
him to go off to superintend outside
duties any more than the engineer
deserts his post and goes into a bag
gage car to read up engineering when
his train is pounding across the coun-
try at forty miles an hour.

hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact, yet every time
she lays an egg she cacllles forth the
fact.
A rooster hasn't got bit of intellect

1t costs a country newspaper money
every time it takes a stand on any
question. Almost any citizen besides a
newspaper man can do it without in
turing his business. If the editor ad-
vocates improvements the sOreheads go
after him and sometimes stop their
paper. Ifhe opposes Improvements the
progressive sort get on him and call
him a back number and a knOcker If
he publishes politics the opposition gets
into his hair, and if he does not he is
charged with being afraid to stand out
for his opinion. If he condemns mail
order houses, there are some people who
ask him to attend to his own business,
as they have a right to trade where
they please. If he publishes a mail
order ad. some of the merchants are af-
ter his gore. No country paper can
come out squarely without making en-
emIes and losing money, and in the run
of a year or more will incur some crit
icism from everybody. The newspaper
that undertakes to please everybody
will please nobody; if it is honest and
sincere snd thoughtful, the public will
respect it.-EX.
