PROHIBITION
A MENACE TO
WORKERS.

The pretense of the prohibition
ist that he is interested in the
working people was ridiculed in an
address by Clarence Darrow, the
well-known advocate of the rights
of labor, who, defended number
of labor leaders SO ably that 'the
interests" tried to silence him in
Los Angeles by a trLmped-up
charge of attempted jury tampering
which effort fortunately failed.
Near the end of the address Mr..
Darrow said:
"When did you ever hear of a
prohibition convention raising its
voice in protest against killing
workingmen when their lives were
only one half done? They are too
busy talking about Rum. Do you
know, of all the people who are
bern in this work, one fifth or one
sixth, go out through one door,
and that door isn't t Rum, that door
is tuberculosis. They die from lack
of air and food and room and op-
portunity to live. They die, not

Life of Lady Vernon.
The following dream story is told ia

Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife In one hand
and candle In the other, crossing the
entrance hall. and she awoke with
great start After awhile she COM
posed herself to sleep again, and she
dreamed-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife In one hand
and a candle in the other. on the mid
die OF the staircase. and she awoke
with a great shock. She got up. She
thought she could not be quite well,
and she took a little sal volatile at
last she fell asleep again. and she
dreamed-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife In one hand
and candle in the other standing at
her bedroom door, and she awoke in q
great terror. and she jumped out of
bed. and she said, I'll have an end of
this; III have an end of these foolish
imaginations'
"And she rushed to the door and
threw 1t wide open And there Just
outside stood the butler, with a knife
in one hand and a candle in the other
And when he suddenly saw Lady Yer

hair streaming down her back, he was
so dreadfully frightened that be
dropped the candle on the floor and
rushed off down the staircase and off
to the stables, where there was horse
ready saddled and bridled. on which
he meant to have ridden away when
he had murdered Lady Vernon. And
he rode away without having murdered
her at all, md be was never heard of
again"

Shall Labor day lose its distinctive
for general meaningless purposes and
for the exploitation for private profit?
Lakpr day belongs to the working
people of America. 1t is for them to
determine its value and significance
Those outside the labor movement test
its strength and yirility by the way in
which Labor day is observed. Their
test is justified by the fact that the
power of the labor movement consists
In its appeal to the hearts, minds and
wills of the workers. Rouse the work
Ing people to sense of tsheir rights
and interests and the labof movement
becomes an irresistible power for their
realization
In the labor movement, as in every
human endeavor, we become familiar
with the heart forces and the ideals
that brought the movement into exist
ence and sometimes forget that these
spiritual forces must be revived and

A personal experience Of highly
sensational character is recorded by A.

"The forest near the Secundury river
was at first overgrown with dense
vegetation that gave US a good deal of
work and extra exertion, but after
that, when we got some distance from
the water, the forest was fairly clean,
except Of course for the fallen trees.
We found troublesome ravines Of great
depth where streamlets had cut their
way through.

ravines | had an accident that might

busy shouting Rum

busy shouting Rum
"Do you know that half of the
children of the poor die before they
are six years old? They don't die
because they drink too much Rum,
but because they drink too little
milk! The prohibitionists are too
busy about Rum. Do you know
that the labor ganizations of this
country have kept their men before
every Legislative body in America?
They have been there year after
year, pleading to take little chill
dren out of the mines; to take them
away from the spindles and put
them into schools; to prevent wom-
Ell from taking the jobs from their
husbands and fathers. Have you
ever been 20 legislative body and
found body of prohibitionists
there to help you plead your cause?
Have they ever raised their voices
in behalf of your lives, of your
limbs, of your wives, of your chill
dren? Have they ever done any
thing except to shout Rum?' while
you have been there pleading for
your homes and your families and
your lives, over here in the corner
is raised a hoarse cry of the prohi-
bitionists saying: For Gods sake
don't take that Don't give us the
employers liability act Don't
do anything about mills and mines
just wait. Let's first destroy Rum.
Join with us on a moral issue. Let
us get rid of Rum and then we will
help you. And if you help them
get rid of Rum and go back, you
will find these gentlemen in the
corner and they will say: Not
now. Let us get rid of tobacco.
Let us get rid of theatres a1d cards
and billiards and dancing and
everything else, and then we will
attend to you.
"Now, there is one rule of life.
If you give men opportunity, give
them food and clothing and drink
and sunlight and homes; they can
look after their own morals, and
they can't do it in any other way,
The whole theory of prohibition is
wrong. If they get one thing they
want another. Today it is Rum.
Tomorrow it will be tobacco
Next day it will be coffee. The
theory is wrong; man can only
progress by liberty. Take the
dream and ideal of freedom from
the human race, and slowly and
painfully it will go back to the
brute creation from whence il
came "

Harvesting by Automobiles.

Several reports from farmers have
been published showing how they used
their automobiles in harvesting. Ed
ward Davis, an Illinois farmer, hitched
his fve-passenger car to self-bnder
and the reaping is said to have been
performed faster, cheaper and easier
than when he depended on horse power.
Another Illinois farmer Charles Yancy
lis said to have harvested forty acres
Of wheat without using horses. The
binder was pulled by a kerosene trac-
tor, which was also used for all kinds Of
work. The tractor travels at the rate
of six miles an hour and did TIE work
Of eight horses. The gait is faster
than can be maintained by horses and
this is an important factor in time Of
emergency.

Now listen There is absolutely no
truth in the statement that this is the
closed season for hunting subscriptions
to The Tribune. Contestants are per-
mitted to hunt subscriptions until the
close of the contest and there is a
bounty on them too For every new
subscription brought in bounty of 600
votes is paid. Some happy young lady
is going TO march away from The

ing the smile that won't come off, be-
cause that young lady will have won

There are only nine more days left Of
this contest.
The piano which will be given away
in this contest has arrived in this city
and arrangements are being made to
place it on display.
The grand prize will be won by some
one who has just little initiative and
no one has such start that it could
not be easily overcome in a few days Of
consistent work This is one of the
most glorious opportunities that the
young ladies' of this community have
ever had, The contest department
wants to urge on every contestant the
necessity for making the remaining
days count for all they are worth.
The time is growing short and it is
only the real hustlers who are likely
TO be contenders for the big prize. That
is why it will pay TO get in the game
with all the energy you can command
from now until the close.
