WILLIAM FEE.

Monday, May 9th near the noon hour
William Fee, while sitting in his rocking
chair, passed quietly away. About two
Hastings addition east of town and
moved small house on to it, and spent
his last days there, and from his little
home was taken to his final resting place
A short funeral service was held on
Wednesday at 10 a. M, Rev. l. z. Bates
officiating. Several of the G. A. r.
members were present and assisted in
bearing the body away.
Very little is known of his history.
He was born in Ireland nearly a century
ago and came to America probably in
the fifties. He enlisted in a New Jersey
regiment about four months before the
war closed.
He told the writer that after. he had
been in America six months he sent to
Ireland for his youngest brother, Hugh
being his name, and the day he left for
the war was the last time he ever saw or
heard of his brother until this spring
when through corresponding with the
postmaster at Bridgewater, Conn, his
brother was located at that place.
Since that a few letters have passed
back and forth. A brother Thomas is
also alive icing a resident of Scotland.
William Zee was quiet, peaceable,
kind hearted man, very fond of children
and man Of truth and honesty. His
burial was in Prospect cemetery

Temple Of Lords PRAYER.

Perhaps the most interesting, surely
the most exquisite, house of Player in
the world is the Little Temple Of the
Lords Prayer in Palestine, erected on
the spot where II is believed the Saw
Tor taught his prayer to the disciples.
The little temple is of pure white
marble, with simple straight lines, dis
tinctly unlike the architecture Of the
Orient. Our Father which art In
heaven" in every known language Is
carved on the walls and columns, and
is the only decoration Of this supreme
ly lovely place. To see It in the soft
opal twilight of the east, or at moon
light, or in the earliest dawn, is to I'M
derstand the matchless words of the
Master translated into marble.-Chris-

When sending a stamp in a letter,
instead of moistening one corner and
sticking 1t to the paper, moisten a
small spot in the center of the stamp
and then affix It to your letter. The
removal of a small part of the ad.
hesive substance from the center in
no way impairs the usefulness of the
stamp; whereas 1t is often torn II the

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
NAPOLEON'S OPINION OF
WASHINGTON.
BY A. w. MACY.

In May, 1898, a party OF
young Americans who we're max
ing a tour Of Europe happened
to be at Toulon, France, just as
Napoleon was embarking with
his army for his campaign In
Egypt. They sought an Intro
ductlon to the great genera
whose wonderful military ex-
ploits had already made his
name known throughout the
civilized world. After the Gus
tomary salutations Napoleon In
quired, "And how fares your
countryman, the great Washing
toni" "He Is very WE'LL" re-
piled the spokesman for the
young men. "Ah, gentlemen"
reIolned Napoleon, washington
can never be otherwise than
we'll The measure Of his fame
Is full. Posterity will talk of
him with reverence as the
founder Of a great empire when
my name shall be lost In the
vortex of revolutions"

Way to Meet Work.

The beauty of work depends upon
the way we meet it-whether we arm
ourselves each morning to attack it as
an enemy that must be vanquished be-
fore night comes, or whether we open
our eyes with the sunrise to welcome
1t as an approaching friend who will
keep us delightful company all day,
and who will make us feel at evening
that the day was well worth its ia
tigues.

CHARGES BEING INVESTIGATED.

Typographical union No. 40 has ap-
pointed committee to investigate
charges made by A. q. Sterling, mem
ber of No. 40, in reference to the Allied
Printing Trades Council. Sterling, who
was president of the council, and
Eugene d'Allemand, an assistant secre-
tary of the council, were unseated at
the last meeting of the council, charged
with being proprietors. Members of the
council say that the deposed delegates
admitted that they were proprietors, but
that they claimed that they were en-
titled to seats nevertheless. 1t is one of
the laws of the council that no member
can hold a seat who is shop owner or
has an interest in a printing Office. Ster-
ling and d'Allemand also charge that in
fuences outside of the council have been
used against them. Sterling also charges
that the accounts of the retiring treas
urer of the council are in bad shape.
The Typographical union thought the
charges of sufficient consequence to
name a committee. The Bulletin believes
it is safe in saying that the charges will
be found to have no foundation. dAlle-
mand's firm is member of the master
printers organization and is non-label
office. Sterling owns material in an Of
fee on the North Side. which is also a
non-label office. 1t would be ridiculous
to give proprietors of non-label offices a
seat in the Allied Printing Trades
Council, where they would have the
power to vote on granting labels to and
lifting labels from printing Offices.

sRooMMAkERs ACTIVE.

The Broommakers union OF Denver
is doing real work at this time. The
members of the organization have quit
making reports to the central bodies
that go unheeded and are now visiting
local unions, making a short talk, and
taking orders for brooms. when they
deliver the brooms they endeavor to
convert the housewife TO their way OF
thinking. and find the scheme very ben
eficial. In nearly all OF the smaller
unions dozens of orders have been taken,
and Mr. Stevenson. who is one of the
active workers for the local, says but
one large organization has ignored them,
and in that local several orders were
taken-but the number of orders did not
compare well when the large member
ship is considered. Local unions
throughout the city should give the
Broommakers undivided support In this
campaign against the importation OF
prison brooms. These fighting union
men are still on strike at the M. Craffey
factory and should receive support. The
campaign OF the Broommakers Is made
more difflcult on account of Secretary
Hickey publishing In the Year Book the
firm of Harry A. Post & Co.. 1917 Blake
street. This firm imports all their
brooms None of them bear the label,
and his stock. according to members OF
the Broommakers' union. was formerly
purchased from penitentiaries. Insist on
the label on your brooms and assist the
Broommakers' union.

When the public comprehends the
temptations to which Judge HICKS was
subjected in the fight he made Tor re-
form laws, the abuse that was heaped
upon him by the paid lobby OF the in
terests and the capitalistic press, the
threats with which they hoped to intim-
idate him, and how he was armed
against them all in the Righteousness OF
the measures for which he stood, 1t vii
understand how well fitted Judge Hicks
/ is for the important office of district at
torney, and how faithfully and unfiinch-
ingly he will perform every duty OF the
office should he be elected.
II was in the Colorado general assem-
bly that Judge Hicks made his record.
Immediately on the organization OF the
legislature, Judge Hicks was recognized
as the leader of the Platform Demo
cratic members, and without days de-
Law he commenced the fight to redeem
the pledges the Democrats had made IN
their state platform.
He had already prepared the direct
primary law, and following that a reg
istratiop law, which the primary law
rendered necessary. These two bilis
were the very first introduced into the
house after it convened. 1t is needless
to say the primary law did not contain
any provision for the already odious as
sembly feature.
In quick succession and under Judge
Hicks leadership, bills were introduced
providing for the headless ballot, bank
guaranty of deposits, the railroad bill,
which, when introduced, contained pro-
visions authorizing the commission TO
| fix rates and impose severe penalties
upon railroads for failing to supply cars
| for the prompt moving OF freights; also
bills for the establishment OF pubic
1axr
| it unlawful to issue or accept free
passes on railroads or other transporta-
| tion lines, and a constitutional amend
ment for the initiative and referendum
The public utilities commission bill au-
| thoriZed the commission to fix rates for
all forms of public service, such as gas
| electric light, telephone and street rail-
way transportation.
| The fight for these measures was i'm
mediately commenced with Judge HICKS
as the recognized head of the progress
siye forces. BY his skill and judgment
he soon won over a majority or the
house to their support. Every obstacle
| that Lubers as speaker could plant In
their way was invoked; the money OF
the corporations was undoubtedly free
| ly spent, the gang members from Den
yer in the legislature were united in a
solid phalanx to fight every inch against
them all, but forcing the fighting by day
and by night, meeting dilatory tactics
with fortitude and endurance, pressing
the measures one by one at every posi-
BILE moment, the house at last adopted
EVER ONE OF THE MEASURES and
sent them to the senate for its action
upon them.
The senate proved recalcitrant and
the legislature adjourned without re-
deeming a single one If the Democratic

islature in extra session, as he had
threatened, and sent ringing message
to it demanding that the party pledges
be fulfilled.

The above is facsimile of the label
Of the international Brotherhood OF
Bookbinders.
1t is now possible to secure in this
city blank books of all kinds and de-
scription with the Bookbinders' label on,
such as minute books, journals and
ledgers, roll call books, ETC., The Pub
lishers' Press Room, 1910 Stout street,
has signed contract with the Book
binders for the use of their label and
this firm is now prepared to turn out
anything desired in the line of blank
books. All unions and central bodies
should take note of this fact and when
in need of blank books should see that
the above label is on same.
A large amount OF blank books are
shipped into this city during the year
and it is impossible to distinguish be-
tween the union and non-union-made
books. The above-named firm makes
these same kind of blank books here
and with the label on, thus making it
unnecessary for anyone having to pur-
chase out-of-town goods and in most
cases non-union-made.
This part of the printing industry is
a growing one and union men can as
sist the Bookbinders in building up their
union and at the same time patronize
home industry by demanding the above
label on all blank books used.

Symbol Adds Untold Sums to the Credit
of Both Workers and Employer-How
Labor Organizations Have Benefited
the Toiling Millions.

The New York Independent, comment
ing on the operations Of the American
Federation of Labor for 1911, has this
to say: "The unions spent nearly $5,-
100000 last year in aid of strikers. We
do not learn how much the profit was
Five millions in money bulks big un-
til one reflects that 1t represents in this
case less than SO per capita for the
more than a million and three-quarters
of members in the federation's affiliated
organizations-rather small amount OF
insurance on wages, not to count other
benefits.
Respecting the Independents sympa-
thetic remark, I'VE do not learn how
much the profit was" the reply is: No
body knows. No, no one can compute
the amount No tabular statement can
be devised to cover all the points in the
estimate Who can say how many en-
ployers would have reduced wages last
year without the union as stumbling
block to their intentions? Who can
compute the profit to the trade union
lists concerned in the numerous cases in
which employers agreed to increase
wages simply on a demand-a strike
without direct cost? Who can put down
in figures the sums to the credit of both
employers and employed through use of
the union label? Who can convert into
