THE IRoN-MoLDER.

In hell-holes Of earth where metal boils
Furnace Ores flash and roar as he tolls,
Hammers clang with monotonous beat:
Slow, air hot as a breeze from hell,
The blows resound like a dying knell.
The niggerhead, ever screeches and roars
Sickening. gassy fumes fill the air;
From the tap-hole white hot metal pours
1adlemen handle their loads with care
Brilliantly shining sparks of light,
Like living things burst upon the sight
AS the metal runs thro the casting-gate,
A scorching stream Of silvery fire,
The four-part flask bursts. and match-plate
Cope, checks and drag, clamps. sand
and vent-wtre.
Like shrapnel shot, scatter thro the air,
And red-hot metal is everywhere.
A 1adleman' screams and groans with pair
From broken leg and awful burns;
The furnace fires flash and roar again,
While the injured one twists and turns
Rushing thro the Quick-gatherlng throng
Comes the ambulance with changing gong
The white-clad doctor. with searching glance
Sees no second Of time can he waste;
Knows that in speed alone Is LIES chance
Skilfully and with no seeming haste,
Dresses the burn with soothing oil
As all about him the workmen toll.
So grows tho great scrap heap day by day
Derelicts, wrecks. in the race for gold;
It's only business, hard and cold.
Tho world moves on, working and striving
Laughing, crying, living and dying.

TOMORROW,

A world of hope springs up in the
heart at the very word.
Today with its triumphs and dis
appointments, has sunk into oblivion
with the setting Of the sun, and star
or promis peeks out of Empyrean.
Hope again springs within us.
We seek our pillow, tired and ex-
hausted, perhaps, but with a lullaby
! OF cheer singing us to sleep.
Tomorrow!
We rise early and watch the pearly
| dawn bedeck the east and we hail
the new day as did Columbus a. new
world.
Infinite in it's possibilities and OPP
portunities we meet it with out
stretched hands, to wrest from it the
best it can give.
The yesterdays of life are forgot
ten and We press forward with stout
: hearts and unafraid.
Tomorrow!
We could never solve life's prob
lem's were there no bright, hopeful
tomorrow reckoning US through the
night.
Tomorrow is the souPs hope.
e. US extol today and make the
| most Of the living present, but let us
| not forget to pay tribute to the up
building power Of the hope that lies
| in the promise Of tomorrow.
Without hope we are as nothing.
We cannot compass all that we
would do and be in a single day, and
We need the guiding star Of to-
! morrow to lead us on.
| Tomorrow! $.
The soul would be ice without that
star Of hope.-Annie Miller Knapp.

GOOD SERVICE RENRERED.

Woodrow Wilson stands for free government, for
honest government for visible government-for the
common rights of and women, of business groups
and organizations, Of municipalities and States of the
United States and of the other nations of the world
whether they be weak powerful. He has been free
Of the influence of special interests whether brought
to bear by money power within the United States
by the greatest military Power earth. Proof lies
in the long, explicit and wonderful record Of his
Torrance in the presidency For that he was
able say in his speech accepting the Democratic
ination for Presidents
II do not doubt that the people of the United
States will wish the Democratic party to continue In
control of the government They not in the habit
rejecting those who have actually served them for
those who making doubtful and conjectural prom
of service Least Of all they likely to substi-
tute those who promised to render them particular
services and proved false to that promise for those
who have actually rendered those very services"

More Freedom and
Culture for Teachers
BY Prof. George Trumbull Ladd.

BY Prof. George Trumbuu Ladd.
In the United States; such has been
and such will continue to be the genius
Of our institutions, that the public edu-
cation, from kindergarten to univer-
sity, cannot be pulled up by the strong
arm Of governmental authority, but
must rise or fall in response to the
economic and social condition, the am
billions and aspirations, the ideals of
value, and the whole moral and spir-
ttual life Of the multitude Of the peo-
pie. This has been, and is, and must
continue to be, the principle underly-
ing our system of public education.
We have espoused it and made it in
corporate in the very soul of the ma
tion. On the whole, we have no rea-
son to be grossly dissatisfied with it's
working, much less to abandon it for
any less democratic conception and
practice.
Three aspects Of this one fundamen-
tai principle, and tl1reee conclusions
Of practical moment, present them
selves In this connections: First, the
system of public education should be
intelligently adapted and readapted,
modified and reshaped, so as to fit
it more closely to the changing neces-
stiles and opportunities Of the people
at large. Second, this work of adapta-
ton must be more especially commit
ted to those who are placed by the
choice Of the people, eithr dirct or in
dirct, in the more immediate con-
troll of the system of education. Third,
the teachers and trainers Of teachers
are the more Immediately influential
and more Intimately responsible in the
administration Of any system.
It would seem, then, that the i'm
provement Of the personnel Of the
teaching force, or rather, should say,
the improvement of the personality
of the individual teachers, offers the
most sensible object of effort, and the
one most hopeful Of good results for
those who wish to see the public edu-
cation of the country notably ele-
waited and who are willing, perhaps at
some cost to themselves, to contribute
toward so desirable result.
The Improvement Of the personnel
Of public school teachers requires
chiefly these three things: Greater
freedom, improved culture, and deep.
| ened moral purpose.

LINCOLN AND LABOR.

An honest laborer digs coat at
about 70 cents a day, while the presi-
dent digs distractions at about $40
a day. The coal is clearly worth
moro than the distractions. yet what
a monstrous inequality in prices.
Inasmuch as most good things are
produced by labor, it follows that
all such things Of right belong to
those people whose labor las pro-
duced them. But it has so happened,
in all ages Of the world, that some
have labored and others have with
out labor, enjoyed a large proportion
of the fruits. This is wrong and
should not continue. To secure to
each laborer the product Of his labor,
or as nearly as possible, is q worthy
subject Of any good government.
AS labor is the common burden of
our race, SO the effort of some to
shift their share of the burden onto
the shoulders of others is the great
durable curse of the race.
The strongest bond of human SYM
pathy, outside Of the family relation,
should be one uniting all working
people, Of all nations, and tongues,
and kindreds.
These capitalists generally act
tremendously and in concert to fleece
the people, and now that they have
got into a. quarrel with themselves,
we are called upon to appropriate the
peoples money to settle the quarrel.
The same spirit says: you toll
and work, and earn bread, and Ill
eat it." No matter in what shape it
comes, whether from a mouth Of a
kind who seeks to bestride the people
Of his own nation and live by the
fruit of their labor, or from one race
of man as an apology for enslaving
another race, it is the same tryannical
principle.
believe each individual is natur-
ally entitled to do as he pleases with
himself and the fruit Of his labor, so
far as it in no wise interferes with
any other mans rights.-Abraham
Lincoln.

FAITH AND COURAGE
KEEP DOOR OPEN

Behold, I have set before you an
open door which no man can shut"
The next time you feel blue and
discouraged and think that you have
no chance to make good as others
much use in struggling because fate
or destiny is against you, just recall
this promise: Behold, have set
before you an open door which no
man can shut"
The promise means literally what
the words signify, or 1t means moth
ing. That is, no one outside Of your
self can shut 1t. You are the archi-
tect of your character; you are the
molder Of your mind: you have the
choice Of doing things that will de-
grade you.. The promise Is not for
a. few ones favored by fortune or &C.
cident Of life, but for all. You are
the only one that can bar the door
held. open for you. And many a man
is barring the door against himself
while he is wondering why it Is not
open, wondering what is keeping II
barred so tightly.
You know plenty Of men and
women whom no power on earth
could permanently discourage or hold
back. Perhaps some of them were
your associates and friends mingline
in humble environment. But their
spirit rose above and beyond the little
unpretentious community where they
spend the days Of their youth.
They would allow no man to bar
the door ahead Of them. Every day
some brave soul whose faith and
courage bears down all obstacles
proves the promise true.
Faith and courage keep the door
open, and they light the path that
leads to it. Yours Is only the task to
rise and enter to claim thy birth.

POOR CROPS WILL
SERVE THEIR PURPOSE

The poor crops of Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota is an un-
fortunate condition of course but thef
people should not be pessimistic or
blue. While we will have to limit ex-:
penses somewhat, we are at the be-
ginning of a sounder foundation for
future operations on the farm.
In the seventies, Southern Minne-
sofa had three crop failures In Sue
cession, the first one being we'll on a.
par with the present condition Of
crops in the three states Just men,
toned. At that time the farmers in
that section of Minnesota had paid
but little attention to diversified farm
ing. The crop failures compelled q
change; and inside Of five years after
the crop failures, the people Of that
section were on tn high road to sue
cess through diversified farmingI and
have been ever since.
North Dakota is now at the bottom
rung of the ladder that leads upward
to successful diversified farming. The
people will adopt diversified farming
now with enthusiasm, and subdivide
the farms 50 that they can handle
them. While the poor crops this year
must necessarily curtail expenses and
to some extent perhaps temporarily
embarrass some of the people, yet
they are opening the door to assured
successful farming hereafter, and in;
consequence optimism should prevail,
instead of pessimism. At no time has
the Red River Valley and North Da-,
kota generally seemed more invitingi
to the writer than now.-The Search

he pleases, and he T. ~ feel I'll ': he

And then, again, he should know.
as he will sooner or later, perhaps
when it is too late, that he must ask
his employer for leave to work for
what he chooses to pay, and for as
many hours as he desires.
Organized labor has been able.
through united action and collective
bargaining, to shorten the workday,
raise wages, and in many ways i'm
prove the conditions Of the worker;
it has prevented reductions in pay; 1t
has made the homes better; it has
secured better clothes, better food,
more comforts, and has made the
shop, factory and the mine a better
place in which to work.
Organized labor has been the fight
ing for in the state legislatures and
in congress, not only for labor, but
for all men; it has compelled the
passag> Of laws to protect the health
Of the workers; to take children
from the mill and the factory and
place them in school; to limit the
living wage; to prevent the loss of
lives and limbs, and to compel the
payment for injuries to body or
health. It has done this and more,
more than we can enumerate here

A FUNDAMENTAL BENEFIT.

Development of many of the nations greatest agr-
cultural states lying west of the Mississippi and south
Ohio rivers is yet in its infancy. Vast acreages

in JUNGLE swamps which should be drained flooded
farmers who should have silos and efficient modern
machinery to add to the volume and economy of pro-
duction vegetable and meat foodstufs without
them, and the condition of farm buildings and farm
premises constitute steady loss to the farmer. The
great hindrance has been lack money for develop
ment extortionate interest rates, and often mercess

flee necessities to meet the obligations imposed by
rates running high 10 per cent.

Rural Credits law which will enable the farmer to bor-
money at not to exceed cent and have forty
years to pay it back, if he wants that long time. is

FILLING THE DINNER PAIL.

The foundation of amazing wealth is soil,

The backbone Of the nation is the farmer. the ribs Of

President Wilson has done for these two
fundamental essentials of national life than all
other presidents combined for fifty years!
This is fact 1t be proved. And the Repub-
lcan campaign managers today do not dare deny It.!
Republicans have been in the habit Of making prom

ceeded the promises of the platform which he
ried 40 out of 4S states.
