HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

So often we repeat the words of the caption in the
kindly intent of the that is forgotten IN an
cher moment. We we'll, but we mean 1t nelther
hard nor long. The words perfunctory; they are
FORGOTTEN almost they spoken.
The Labor World wishes, and greatly wishes that It's
New Year greeting written above might be regarded as
more than perfunctory. 1t would ike-oh. beyond ex-
presson-that It's "IIappy Year. might indeed add
little cheer to "soul in stress" Not alone to
those whom prosperity besses but to those In prisons
in hospitals, earths dreary places. would 1t wish
happy year trusting that the Father of both
the happy and the heartbroken will add His blessing
unto our otherwise futile wishes.
For you pause to consider the matter friends, 1t
is the man. or woman in the depths who most of all
needs Happy New Year." We are fairly prosperous,
fairly healthy and love about us, but it is different
with him. The that is dead bore misfortune unto
him; may years to come be far brighter.
these "Outcasts of society," are by no means
wholly bad the spark divinity still glimmers in their
breasts is but the chance of birth and
vironment that this wide gulf of distinction be-
tween them and in very truth, on the scales OF
infinite justice they may be far better than They
sorely need Happy New Year, may God grant it
to them.
There is much bad in the best of us.
And so much good in the worst of us,
That it hardly behooves any Of US
To talk about the rest of u.s..
And to those who not ''out of luck who are
blessed in home, wife, children and health that throbs
in their vens-to them also Happy New Year. May
every day bring them peace. blessing and good works,
and may they glad that 1914 has been added

NEW SPIRIT IN INDUSTRY.

Indicative of the new spirit in industry-cau it
operation helpfuness, responsibility what willis
the humanitarian labor legislation which has been passed
in the year 1913. This just passing has seen
tremendous advance in labor laws.
The adoption of workmen's compensation acts by
states bringing the number of those which have
such laws up to twenty-five, sounds the death knell Of
that anquaed theory Of risks inherent In the BUSH
ness which has been the foundation for much in
dustria establishment and injustice. The enactment
of minimum wage laws for women and children in eight
states including Minnesota and legislation In thirtyone
affecting conditions Of childrens heralds the
coming of brighter day for these members Of
dustrial system.
The establishment Of free employment offices In
and industrial diseases which have been
than of other states only further proof
the advanced character of the work which has been
DONE The action of eight states in establishing industrial
commissions patterned after Wisconsins is tribute
to the work done by that commission Of should
be proud
Particularly gratifying is the fact that this work is
widely spread through the country, the taking it's
place with the middle and the far west in promoting
wise and comprehensive for industrial ad-
vancement.
Truly the work which has been done is more than
gratifying 1t should be strong encouraging
the men and who have striven these things
through the years when they neglected. LET the

common good, the downhearted reformer leave his

A SMILE OR TWO
Love With a Sting to 1t.


There was a. minister who believed
that there was something good in all
men and women. He began to collect
and jot down in his note book specific
instances. One day he was paying a
visit to a condemned prisoner, and a
rat stole out of his hiding place and
'crept toward the prisoner. The un-
happy man fondled the rate.
do you love that rat, and have you
been so kind to him as to tame him
cornpletely?" asked the minister
eagerly.
Love this rat:'' repeated the pris-
oner, "Why, I'd share my last crust
with him.
"And can You tell me, my poor fell
low, what has put into your heart this
unselfish love for a rat?"
Sure" answered the man. "This
rat-he bit the jailer. "-Successful

net. Thirty one already have been de-
NOTED to their former status, Secretary
