to diversity according TO the plans

local meetings this week and next

This is but one of the ways the
union has been able to make q saw

reason more has not been done Is be-
cause the members do not attend the
local meetings regularly. Your State
union can not effect favorable ar
rangements for the membership un-
less they meet frequently and make
use OF them. IL your secretary Is not
posted on these matters see to II that
he informs himself by writing to the
State secretary.

It Was He'll in West Virginia.

There was wealth to be extracted
from the West Virginia hills,
But the workers were subjected to the
most outrageous ills
Either shot or sent to prison-and
their lives with danger racked:
It was hell in West Virginia till the
Reds began to act.
How the labor press was outraged by
old Hatfeld's lawless clan,
And it was the blacklist treason to
defend working man
This, and more, must be recorded as a
very shameful fact:
Tt was hell in West Virginia till the
Reds began to act.
Hatfield boasted of his power, backed
by shining rows of steel,
And he thought he had the workers
safe beneath his heavy heel;
But he,got word from the comrades, :"
and his operations Stacked:
'Tain't so bad in West Virginia since
the Reds began to act.

A LITERARY THIEF.

If you are looking for the most in
fernal, black hearted, unscrupulouss
literary thief that merciful God ever
permitted to live, you want to go to-
Bixby, North Carolina, and you will
find your man in the person of W..
Henry Davis, the alleged editor of a.
nasty little Democratic toe-rag called
The Hornet.
This miserable little wart on the
heel of journalism owes its very ex-
istence to the fine art of stealing.
Practically the entire contents of the
paper are stolen from one place or
another-and always printed as orig
inal matter. No credit is ever given,
as the little pimp of an editor wants
people to think he writes the articles
himself.
Although The Hornet is intensely
and foolaciously Democratic, it steals
about half of it's thunder from Re-
publican paper called The Yellow
Jacket, simply changing the words
''Democrat'' and Republican, SO as
to give the stuff Democratic flavor.
Just recently The Yellow Jacket got
afoul of The Hornet for stealing it's
dope, and The Hornet came back with
an abusive and bitter denial, swear
ing by all the little tin gods of De-
mocracy that it never had been guilty
of printing a line from The Yellow
Jacket, either with or without credit.
And there amt no devil if at least
half of that very issue wasn't made
up of Yellow Jacket stuff.
The Fool-Killer has no patience
with the politics of either The Hornet
or The Yellow Jacket, SO far as that
goes, but I like to see fair play and
want every fellow to get all the glory
he deserves.
But the thing that makes me the
hottest is to see SO many of my own
favorite articles quietly roosting in
The Hornets chicken-house, with
never a word to indicate where they
came from About five or six years
ago I ground out good thing and
calledit "The Bearded Bride" 1t was
printed and sent out, and had almost
| forgotten about it. But on opening
The Hornet for June 18, 1913, behold,
there was my long-lost Bearded
Bride" looking just as sweet and
sassy as ever, with not beard miss
ing.
shall make it point to preserve
all future issues of The Hornet, as
that is about the surest way to keep
copy of all my writings.
By the way, Mister Hornet, you may
steal this piece if you want it.

THAT FOOL BOY AGAIN.
BY UPsON DOWNS.

What place is that, pa?"
THAT is a brickyard, my son.
Whose brickyard is it, pa?"
1t belongs to me, my son.
DO all these piles of brick be-
long to you?''
YES"
my! How long did it take you
to make them? Did you make
them all alone by yourself?''
mo, my son, those men you
see working there made them
for me-"
do the men belong to you PAP"
mo, my son, these men are
free men. No man can own an
other. If he could, the other
would be slave.''
What is a slave, pa?''
"A slave, my son, is a man
who has to work for another all
his life for only his board and
clothes.'
IF a slave gets sick, who pays
for the doctor, pap
Q well, his owner does; he can't
afford to lose his property
If these men get sick, do you
pay for the doctor, pa?"
Catch me! What have got to
do with them? They must pay
for their own doctor.
Can you afford to lose one of
the men who work for you, pap
"Of course / can; I can hire
another whenever I like
Then you aren't so particular
about them as if they were your
slaves, are you, pap
mo, I suppose not.''
Then how is it better for them
to be free?"
"Oh, don't ask such foolish
questions, boy.''
Why do the men work so hard,
pa? Do they like it?''
We'll, no, Idon't suppose they
dO;but they must work or Starve. ,:
Are these men rich, pap
Not to any great extent, my
son.

DO they own any houses, pa?"
Il rather guess not, my son.
Have they any horses or fine
clothes, and do they go to the
seaside when it's warm, like we
do, pa?"
"Well, hardly; it takes them all
of their time to make living.''
What is a living, pap
why, a living we'll, for them
a living is what they eat and
wear
Isn't that board and clothes,
pa?o
"Isuppose it is
"Well, are they any better off
than slaves?"
"Of course they are, you fool
ish boy. Why, they're free. They
don't need to work for me if they
don't like to. They can leave
whenever they choose -
"And if they leave, won't they
have to work, pap
why, certainly; they will have
to work for somebody else.''
''Will they get any more than
a living from him, pa?''
mo, I suppose not
well, then, how are they any
better Off than slaves?''
''For the Lords sake, shut up,
kid. | am tired of your fool ques-
tions."
What are bricks made of, pa?'
''They are made of clay.''
DO the bricks belong to the
men when they make them?"
mo, they belong to me- -
'Then why do the men make
them?''
Because the clay is mine and
| hire them to do it. -
did you make the clay, pa?"
mo, God made it, my son.
did He make it for you, pa?''
mo, I bought it,
did you buy it from God?"
mo, from a man.
did the man buy it from
God?"
mo, of course not; he bought
it from another man, Isuppose. .
did the first man it was
bought from buy it from God?''
mo, | suppose not.''
How did he get it, then? How
was it any more his than any
body's else?'
'Oh, l don't know; I suppose
he just claimed it,
Then if these men should
claim it now, would it be theirs?'

Russell's BLESSED" Seed Wheat.

Russell,' the dough-faced duck
who dabbles in divine doinses up
in Brooklyn, New York. Take
it from me, the Pastor" is
peach with the fuzz rubbed off.
It seems that he had all the other
masculine nuts up a tree when
the brains we're passed around.
There is no dozen men in the
preaching business that can half
way hold him light as an adver-
tising man.
It has been several years now
since the Pastor first begun to use
the gospel horn to toot his own
greatness through, and every edge
that wouldn't cut has had>to gnaw
like the very old scratch. Out of
the void vaporings of an ingrow-
ing egotism and the deluded de-
sires of a sin-soaked society, the
old rascal has built up fame and
fortune, and has caused thousands
to look to him as the only bell
wether Of the heavenly flock.
He has.handed us new theology
so fast that it made our heads
swim, and while we were yet diz-
zy he has hit us for a contribu :
tion to his personal advertising
fund.
But just listen here one time!
All the other stunts that the cum
ming old cuss has pulled off are
not to be mentioned on the same
day with his latest performance.
Bless your soul, he has quietly
rounded up the good old hayseed
farmers and gone to selling them
seed wheat at seventy-fve dollars
bushel! How is that for some
thing juicey in the graft line?
Huh? It amt just the ordinary
; cheap and perishable seed wheat
of commerce no stree! It is
some kind of blessed and holy
article of the dear PASTORS own
get-up. He probably pokes his
head in the sack and blows his
nose in it and mumbles some kind
of Witch-Latin that sounds like
saving off cows horn, and the
work is done. Common ordinary
wheat is thus transformed, by
the application of the Pastors
, "blessing,' into some kind OF
heavenly biscuit-truck that just
teetotally bangs it onto anything
yet. You can SOW some of the
Pastors wheat after supper, anc
then GO out next morning anC
, gather hot biscuits for breakfast
One mess of them biscuits viii

Liggett stores in New England,
states he will open dozen large re-
tail drug stores in New York in the
next year.
1t is reported that the United Cigar
Stores Company has had an eye on
the retail drug business for some
time, but the primary motive for the
big deal is to put the company in a
better position to carry on a cigar

DOM GASQUET TO
TALK ON VULGATE
English Scholar and Historian
Will Lecture Tomorrow Night
at Proctor's Theatre.

Bible students will have an oppor-
tunity tomorrow night to hear Right
Rev. Francis ". Gasquet lecture on
the proposed revision of the Latin
Vulgate. He will speak here at
Proctor's Theatre under the auspices
of the Knights of Columbus. Because
of the high standing of Abbot Gas
quet as an English scholar and leader
in ecclesiastical matters, the lecture
will be an event of unusual impor-
lance.
The lecturer is abbot-president Of
the English Benedictine Monks. His
greatest book, Henry VIII. and the
English Monasterles," attracted the
attention of all historical scholars.
Another of his famous books is Ed
ward VI. and the Book of Common
Prayer"
Abbot Gasquet was born in 1S45,
and when boy was a protege of
Cardinal Manning, the famous Eng
fish scholar. He received his early
education at Downside under the
Benedlctines and later Joined that
community. DownSide College 8
growth is a monument to Abbot Gas
quet
One of the most important events
In the career of Abbot Gasquet was
the part he took in the controversy
over the question over the validity of
the Anglican orders. He was sent for
three times by the Vatican to give
an opinion on various matters. He
was member of the famous com
mission on Anglican orders, ap-
pointed by the late Pope Leo XIII.
in 1896, and which rendered a YER
dict against the Anglican Orders.
Six years ago Abbot Gasquet was
appointed head of the Vatican com
mission on revision of the Vulgate.
Since that time he and the other
members have been busy securing
the great libraries of the world for
evidence in ancient books and manu-
scripts bearing on the original writ
ings of st. Jerome, who compiled the
Vulgate in the fourth century.
Besides the lecture by Father Gas
quet there will be several other ad-
dresses and a musical program. Mon
signor Whelan will preside. Profess
sor James c. Monaghan, national lee
turer of the knights of Columbus,
will speak. National Head of the
knights of Columbus James A. Fla
herty, of philadelphia, and William
]. Mckinley, supreme secretary, are
also expected to be present.
The musical program will be car
ried out by Miss Anna Toohey, So
prano; Miss Clara Scanlon, contralto;
Joseph L. Mullin, basso; Albert w.
Boice, tenor; Nicholas ]. Tyan, bar
itone, and Professor Frederick J..
Yeoman, accompanist.

Neo-Impressionist Posters.

On the fourth floor of the Newark
Free Library this month in shown a
collection of the poster art of mod
ern Germany. The collection is dis
tinct relief after viewing the luna
tic asylum examples of Mr. Max
Weber, young pervert to bastard"
art. The posters shown are by Moos,
Hohlwein and others They display
recognizable shapes" they are
amusing and they please the eye. All
exhibit the German fidelity to the
decorative convention, and some of
them are brilliant in coloring and
drawing.
The work of Bernhard and Hohl-
vein. especially, has won unqualified
praise from British critics, who have
had an opportunity of Judging it
this season at the Dore galleries in
London. The chief merit for which
the German poster artist deserves
praise Is the facility with which he
clothes an idea in the conventional
mode which he has adopted. Embody-
periences the pleasure of having an
idea born in his mind when he looks
at the work of the artist.
But the charm of novelty is gone
as far as the poster is concerned.
It's great value here, however,
and the principal reason why the
Newark Museum Association should
be commended for offering it to
public view is that it may serve as
a lesson to American poster crafts
men, whose work is an affront to the
wayfarer and a blot upon the land
scape of the beautiful American rural
scenes and an eyesore on the board
ings in American cities.
