Story Of Boy Who
Wanted Blue Hair
Is Used as Text

From the text, "A Washingtonian who
wished for blue hair" the Rev. L. HeZ
SVEN. pastor Of the Centennial Baptist
Church, last night preached a sermon on
the evils of being disagreeable. DR.. Sven
told of an instance which had come TO
his attention in the northeastern section
of the city.
A small red-headed boy was tormented
by his schOolmates because OF the bright
hue Of his hair until the lad dreaded 10
go to school and wished for blue hair"
The moral that DR.. Sven pointed out
was that it was wrong to make ones self
disagreeable 10 those with whom he is
thrown into contact for in many in
stances the victim becomes discontented
with his lot in life and is often driven
10 an untimely end.

Labor Day

To the Editor: Labor Day in this
country is exclusively a demonstration
of workingmen affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. This great
labor organization has nothing in COM
mon with Socialism. Labor Day is, in
reality, a demonstration against Social
ism.
That Socialism is hostile to the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor every trades
unionist knows. The Socialist leaders
and newspapers are continually attack
ing men like GOmpers, Mitchell. and
Collins. Whenever the trade unions
gain a victory the red sheets minimize
the victory and make it appear that in
reality a defeat has been sustained. If
the trades unions have slight reverses
the Socialist press teens with accounts
of the bankruptcy of the A. F. OF L.
Socialism has not grown up as creed
among tie workers as the result Of OBJ
servatiOh. experience and thought but
has been imposed upon the workers by
set Of comfortably fixed "high-brows'
who have never done any work them
selves, and have no first hand knowledge
of the working classes such as can only
be gained by working among workers as
a CO-worker.
Tho trades uniOnist movement orig
mated with working men, was developed
by them, and exists today as a living
force in our industrial life only because
millions OF workers have given their ad-
hesiOn to the movement and regard it as
the right arm of their defense against
unfair treatment.
Trades uuiOnism bases its action upon
the theory that the interests of the en-
plOyer and those OF the worker are to a
considerable extent recOnCilable. Social
ism acts upon the assumption that these
inte.ests are absolutely opposed and ir-
TerUlCilable.
The trades unionist believes in peace,
in cOnCiliatiOn, in trade
in arbitration, and in col
aiming. The Socialist opposes
cas- and expedients, and does
st discreditable reason, name
more employers and workers
. A.-- together. the more disputes

NINETEEN THIRTEEN.

One week more and the year
nineteen hundred thirteen will
have become one of the years Of
the past. Before beginning the
new year it were well to review
the dying year and see if we
cannot benefit by its lessons. In
the year that is slipping into the
unrecallable past, doubtless all of
US have had experiences that
will help US to live the new year
better if we will profit by them.
Few of us realize the full sig
nifcance of the death Of the old
year and the birth of the new
pear. 1t is more than the mere
passing of time. Each yeal
brings us nearer to the time
when we, too, must pass away
and to the beginning Of a new
existence. Each passing year is
another milestone on the road tC
Eternity. Have we so lived the
year that is dying that tn
world has been better for oul
having lived? No matter how
much money you have accumu.
lated, no matter how much work
you have done, the year has
been wasted, so far as you are
concerned, if your life has moi
been such that the world is bet
ter for your having lived.
Take that thought with YOU
into the living out of the yea
nineteen hundred fourteen, anC
shape your conduct by it ant
you will doubtless accomplish
more than you did during tn,
past twelve months.

Back to the Farm Crusade.

We have heard much in recent
years from pulpit and press,
from statesmen and politicians,
concerning the necessity of peo-
pie going back to the farm; but
these preachers and teachers
and agitators want to force
somebody else back to the farm.
They do not go back themselves;
they prefer to live in town with
all the town comforts and with
all of the food supplies the COM
mission merchant and express
man can bring to the doors.
They grow alarmed at times by
the increase in price which testi-
fies to the scarcity of food sup
plies. Then we have the articles
and addresses calling upon the
whole population to so back to
the farm.
The school census of Kansas,
just completed, shows that the
rural school population of that

GOOD START.

Judge Dennis tells US that one
Of his first acts will be to have
a complete statement of the f.
nances of the county published,
showing the exact financial con-
dition of the county. This is a
requirement of the law and
should be done annually. Here
tofore this has only been done
once during the three years and
a half of the CoURIER's exist
ence. 1t argues well for Judge
Dennis that he wants to begin
his administration by taking the
public into his confidence and
keeping them informed about
the state of their business.

h6rishing and Towering State
has decreased 10, 991 in the past
five years, whereas in the same
period the city school population
has increased 10000.
So, instead of the movement
back to the farm assuming any
great proportions, the drift to-
ward the city seems to be as
great as ever. Fourteen thou
sand children in the past five
years have been transferred
from the country schools of Kan
sas to the city schools Of Kansas,
and the country schools Of Kan
sas are probably as attractive as
any in America, Louisville Ev-
ening Post.

TO THE NEW OFFICERS.

Within the next few days the
oath of office will have been adj
ministered to the county officers
elect, and they will have assum-
ed their various duties and re-
sponsibilities. The success or
failure Of any administration de-
ponds largely upon the begin
ming. The start that is made
will, to a great extent, influence
the policy of the whole term.
The COURIER is optimistic and
predicts a sane, businesslike adj
ministration; that the new off
GERS will bring into the discharge
Of their duties all the energy and
ability that they posses, and that
they will earnestly study local
conditions and seek the best
means for advancing the inter-
ests of Morgan county; that the
finances will be handled in an
economical, vet not niggardly,
manner. We trust that a spirit
of enlightened progress will con-
troll and that the work Of public
improvement will be systematic
ally carried out. Road improve
ment is our most vital need and
we hope for great work along
this line.
The opportunity is before the
new county administration, and
it can make good if it will. This
paper will heartily cooperate
with the new officers in any eff
fort to promote better civic con-
ditions in this county, and will
not hesitate to let the people
know of every effort on the part
of the officers to promote better
conditions. And, on the other
hand, it will as readily tell the
people of any wilful failure Of
the officers to do their duty. Al
a newspaper it will publish facts
about the county affairs, hoping
always that the facts will refec
credit upon all conconcerned.
