LABOR DAY is FOR ALL
II 10 Not Intended for Any Glass, but
for Americans En-
Masse.

Men Of labor came to America in
the Mayflower. A printer and car
penter signed the Declaration of In
dependence. George Washington, the
whole world knows, was a surveyor at
one time in his life. Lincoln was no
more than a day laborer. Andrew
johnson was a tailor. William How.
ard Taft, after leaving college, was a
newspaper reporter at SO week.
Roosevelt, 1t can be fairly said, was
a cowboy once.
"A working man, by strict defini.
hon, is zone who earns his living by
manual labor"-otherwise, at tasks
employing his hands. Farmers are
working men and clerks in stores and
Offices must be, under the meaning of
the dictionaries.
Actually, of course, anyone who
works is working man. Labor day,
consequently, is not for any class, but
for Americans en- mass.
The following are but a few OF the
thousands of instances where great
men of today began their successful
careers by working with their hands:

After he had been gone for con-

Since 1882, when the Knights Of La

Labor day. that holiday has been kept
before the public In various localities,
until now almost every state has fol-
lowed the example Of Colorado by
making the first Monday in Septem-

popularity with labor organizations. as
the holiday is celebrated in many
forms Of recreation by the several

Nothing commends the good old
days as strongly.as the accounts of-the
feasts and festivals of the old English
craftsmen. who kept certain holidays
In revelry or ceremonious pageant
even before America was discovered.
In the present century it is almost
impossible to imagine the influence of
some Of these old guilds of workmen,
or to comprehend the occupations in
which they were engaged. No longer
is there any demand for horners, who

A new game called the 'Edi- tors Delight" is played in this wise: Take a sheet of writing paper, write your name and ad- dress upon it, fold it carefully and enclose a bank note or check sufficiently large to pay up all arrearages and a year or two in advance. Address properly and drop into the postoffice. A bet ter trick is to walk into the sanc- tum and lay it on the editors desk. Keep your eye on the editor and if he smiles the trick works like a charm. That which adds immensely to the game is to send a new subscription or two accompanied by the cash.
