SUBSCRIPTION CORNER

The Wheeline Majority is now the
one best labor newspaper in this part
of the country, and one of the best
weekly NEWSPAPERS in the world. We
are not. boasting when we make this
statement, but merely stating a fact.
But the Majority would be more pow
erful still If we could but make it a
daily; and this we want to do. In
this, we naturally expect the support
of the workers whom the Majority has
defended and supported for more than
eight years.
Please bear in mind, the Majority is
the official organ of the West Virginia
State Federation of Labor, the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly
and the Belmont Central Trades and
Labor Assembly. it is the only labor
paper in this vicinity and It has the
largest circulation of any weekly or
monthly newspaper published in

Pennsylvania or the entire state of

themselves. How this works out is
shown in the following sketch FROM

Reciew of New York City, by Harry
Weimberger, an attorney of that city.
Place-City of New York, where
vast tracts of land are allowed to be

little of me?" l asked.
Dick laughed comfortably.
Don't be sarcastic, dear; it doesn't
become you," he said.
That is the awful part of it all.
Dick doesn't seem to realize that he
is doing anything he should not. 1
am sure if any one should ask him he
would say that he knew 1 was per-
fectly satisfied, perfectly happy.

before we were married, when I
knew l was the only thing in Dicks
thoughts. l want to see his eyes

he can come near enough to touch
me. l want to see the kisses in his
eyes that he cannot press upon my
lips because we are in some public
place
Does any woman, after the flush of
honeymoon, get these? And it any
woman, after the wonderful glory of
the honeymoon, satisfied with less?"
l was thinking all this and being
rather rude to Jim in not listening
to him, guess, for he said:
'Margie Waverly, you are miles
away from here-so far that am not
sure you ever will come back. Can
you tell me what you are thinking
about?"
Nothing in particular, Jim. I am
afraid spend too much time think
ing about myself. l do wish Dick
would let me go back to teaching
school"
Great scottp exclaimed Jim. "You
must be miserable if you want to-
teach school again." .

Kewanee Bootleggers Plead Guilty and
Sign Pact to Obey

According to the KeWanee Star Courier, all but
four defendants in the liquor cases prosecuted in that
circuit, county and city courts by the state and city
of Kewanee, have signed pleas Of guilty and also
agreements to refrain from further violations of anti
saloon ordinances long Kewanee shall remain
dry territory. The agreement was prepared by Thos
J. Wech, attorney for the city and includes as basis
of settlement that the defendants shall pay $4,000 for
expense of investigation and prosecution.
If the KeWanee bootleggers keep their word, this
method of settlement is to be commended. Not pun
ishment but law and order is what the city of Kew
wants But it is in order to suggest that men
who have deliberately violated the law are not likely
to be bound by a scrap of paper, and it will be sur
prisng if the experience of Lake county with the Fox
Lake bootleggers is not repeated in Kewanee

A wave of Prohibition is at hand
fear it's sweeping across the land.
And ere the springtime with flowers and buds,
That glorious time may bring dearth OF suds
A holocaust like this, Oh! Gods above
Look down and spare the beverage I love
To take away the brew would be crime,
[ care not for the ricky with its lime.
The infant nursing at its mothers breast
Could not be asked to have harder test
Than weaned away from sustenance and life,
Twere better far that / should lose my WIFE,
Than wander thro' darkness and thro fear,
And know not where to turn to get my beer
Oh! spare me- take my home, my wealth. my buds,
But leave with my own beloved Suds.
