Don't Be A Qlitter.

There are in the ranks of labor,
as we'll as in other organizations,
peculiarly inconsistent class of peo-
PIE known as cutters. These fell
lows are restless, energetic and
capable, bur they have one fatal
fault, the lack of that splendid
qlality of perseverance. They
run we'll for a season, but fail
often at the very point of achieve
ment." We find them in the union
taking hold with a rush and a
great hurrah, trying to carry things
with a cyclone sweep. Big things
do not move that way at the in
SAINT bidding of few enthusiasts,
aud after succession of Ineffective
jerks they "cuss and quit" !"
These impatient fellows do great
injrry to the cause in more ways
than one. Their zeal and apparent
devotion win for them positions OF
more or less prominence, so tina,
when they sulkiiy retire from the
firing line the cause not only suf-
fers the loss of their own personal
eff ort, but their quitting has very
depressing feet on the plodder.
What the cause of labor needs is
the plain, persistent plodc er. He
is not very bold and snowy
starter, but he can be depended on
to stick to the job. Not only does
he stiIk, but he constantly grows
in fighting efectiveness.-Ex.

Opportunity For Eight
Hour Day.

While millions of money is being
spent in Am erica by the countries
at was for food supplies and muni
tions and has caused an unprece
dented demand for labor engaged
in many of the trades, especially
the machlnists, it has brought
about a most opportune time for
he enforcement of the eight hour
working day, which has been an
Ibj Ct these trades have tried for
years to establish. Surely they are
justf d in this mand, consider
ing the amoun' of wealth that IS
being paid for the materials manu-
featured by them, without consid-
erlDg the fact that the trend of
public opinion is for the eight hour
day In general. That srccess is
crowning the efforts of the trades
involved is seen daily in the reports
from their organizations and from
the voluntary granting of the eight
hour workday in other manuiac-
tu,ing industries wlere a demand
for the eight, hour day had not yet
been presented.
The proverb Of "An i'll wind that
does no one any good is evident
IN this case, and if the workers
must manufacture materials of this
kind they are entitled to take
every advantage which the oppor.

THE best investment a working
man lan make is to join labor un-
ion. The dues are the smallest and
it has all other organizations backed
off the boards when it comes to
paying benefits. If You get TWEEN

dues cost you nothing and you are

TRACTOR WILL FIGURE.
Santa Fe Agriculture Demonstration
Looks for Results.

Santa F'e railway managers who keep
an eve on farm production in their
territory expect big results from the
tractor, which lately has been brought
to public attention at demonstrations,
such as that at Hutchinson last week,
and the one now in progress at Enid,
Okla.
NO doubt farmers all over the
country are taking a deep interest in
the workings of the tractor said H.

ira ctors in use is increasing rapidly,
and every year there are improve
ments which make them more salts

Der of farmers report that with a
tractor they are able to do better
farming at less expense than by the
ordinary methods. The tractor is
growing in popularity because it has

majority

Agricultural Demonstrations of
the Tractor Successes.
Other Items of General Interest

The Pullman porter is one of the
valuable assets in the efficiency OF
American railroads. He is the SYM
Dol of politeness. accommodation and
grace, and the collector of dimes, with
his black and shiny complexion, could
never be dispensed with.
In a recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, Edward Hungerford
pays a tribute to this profession in
clever story, George, the Pullman
Porter" Topeka railroad officials,
particularly those interested in pas
senger traffic, were extremely inter-
eSted in this article.
In speaking of the porter, it would
be well to consider the difference be-
tween service on the European rail-
ways and those of the United States.
This year is the first time that the
American tourists-those who travel
far and wide-can compare the syS-
TENS of the two hemispheres. The
European roads suffer in this COM
parison- They are inferior in the build
of their cars, which are not So SAM
1ary, comfortable or light as the
American Pullman sleeper. The sight
seeing on an English road is not like
il is in the roomy car here.
A large snare of the success of the
Pullman company is due to the genial
porter 1t is astonishing to see the
amount of genuine service rendered by
the dusky individual for which he oc-
caSionally receives a small tip in ad-
ditiOn to his salary
