TWO BROTHERS,

Along in November, when chill
was the weather,
Two ballots were cast in box to-
gether.
They nestled up close like brother
to brother;
You couldn't tell one of the votes
from the other.
The Sunday school msn-no man
could be truer-
Kept busy all summer denouncirg
tn brewer;
But his fever cooled off with the
change of the weather,
And late in the autumn, they voted
together.
The Sunday-school man had al
ways been noted
For fighting saloons-except when
he voted
He piled up his prayers with holy
perfection,
Then knocked them all down on
the day of election.
The cunning old brewer was cheer
ful and mellow;
Said he, Il admire that Sunday
school fellow
He's true 10 his church--to his
party he's true,
He talks for the Lord, but he votes
for the brewer"
The abeve was clipped from a
program of t h e First Friends
Church, Cleveland, Ohio.

SOME kind friend saw fit to send
the editor of the PRESS a copy of
Harper's Weekly which contains a
marked article, "Charlatans of
Charity" by Issac Russell. The
article gives an insite of the work
ings of organized charity and is
quite interesting, it also explains
facts that were revealed in connec-
tion with the recent investigation
by the Commission on Industrial
Relations of the case Of Mary
Minora, wife and mother at the
age of fourteen and a pants fnisher
who worked for more than twelve
hours a day for a daily wage of
from forty to sixty cents. To this
friend we wish to say that you
read good union paper when you
select Harper S, aud for the copy
you have sent us, Thanks.

coming summer would do we'll to
confer with Manager / M. Martin,
of Chester Park, for dates are be-
ing rapidly gobbled up by those
who realize that Chester combines
more amusement features, more to
make an outing enjoyable, than
any other resort in Cincinnati or
vicinity. In fact, more than a
hundred outings are already sche-
duled at Chester for the coming
season. Only two more Sundays
remain for the inspection of the
park before it formally opens its
regular season on Saturday May s.
Grear interest is being manifested
in the contest announced by Col.
Martin for an appropriate name for
Chester's newly constructed water
ride, many entries having already
been received. A prize of S25 will
be awarded for the best suggestion.
The lake has been filled again,
and, if the weather permits, it is
expected that some early bathers
will take advantage of it.

The A. F. of [. Exhibit.

San Francisco, April, %. The
Bulletin of this city makes this ref
erence to the American Federation
of Labor and its attractive educa
tional exhibit at the Panama Paei
6c exhibition.
The American Federation of
Labor has grown in thirty-four
years from membership of less
than 1000 to a membership of
more than 1000, 900. Its average
membership last year was 2 020, ,671
The average American family is
usually reckoned at FIVE members.
This would make he total number
Of persons dependent on the ear
nings of organized labor about 10,
600, 600. One person il every ten
in eur country is intimately inter
ested in the prosperity or welfare
of organized labor. Moreover, out
side the organized trades, in oceu-
pations which it has not been pos
sible to unionize, there are millions
of workers whose wages and condi-
tons of work are indirectly Ia
huenced by the conditions that
have been secured in the organized
trades.
The importance of this united
body of workers and voters is ap-
parent even to those short sighted
persons who are opposed to demo
cratic influence in industry. No
ons who is not already familiar
with the history, principles and
program of organized labor loses a
good opp ortunity now presented,
by the Federation exhibit at the
exposition, to become so. The
policies of the Federation of laoor
are good deal more important to
us than the policies of Great Britain
or Germany. If it helps to solve
the great problem of peaceful in
dustrial development, as it surely
is doing, it is worth sympathetic
and broad minded study"
