Why the Heck is it that all the
newspapers since the time of Adam
in describing a wedding, always say
that the groom wore the convention
al black" Of course we all know
that the groom wears clothes to his
wedding and that, as the lawyers say,
"a reasonable person" doesn't go to
his fate dressed like circus horse.
The best he can do is to keep from
looking supremely foolish and answer
the questions as heartily as possible.
There is something insiduous about
that conventional black business,
anyhow. No matter how one tries, af-
ter the sweet brides costume is ap-
propriately considered, along comes

Nature seemingly takes a revenge
on tyrants that suffering humanity
cannot. For instance. when Nicholas
was told Of the, to him, disastrous
turn of events, he said. with a ges-
ture of helplessness: "Let it be so.
Thank God. I will abdicate if that is
what the people want I will go to
Livadia (the estate of the Russian
imperial family on the south coast Of
Crimea) to my gardens. I am so fond

What of the untold suffering? But

Speaking of labor unions and "all
right when they are run right" brings
to mind that labor never would have
gotten anywhere if it hadn't been or
ganized. Labor sneezed along decrep-
lily through the supporting
kings, lords, courtiers, Office holders,
big standing armies and military
class not to speak Of parasites of every
other description, until one day a
great thought came to labor. Up to
this time, mind you, labor had been
content to consider itself what they
called it, "a clod," and to take thank
fully the husks from the banquet ta-
bile it had provided the bounties for.
SO labor stretched its mighty arms and
slowly and timidly at frst-began
70 organize. But while the progress
was slow (for labor had bent close ia
the soil and its mind was dull and in
actlve) it was persistent and tic
shackles were struck off one by one.
Labor said 'Iet me have schools so.
that my children may learn" and in
time labor got them. And the time
came when the son of the pillow boy
competed with the child of the rich
and bested him Labor demanded the
ballot and, after many years, got it.
And verify the time came when labor's
counsel was sought among the ma
TONS mighty
Labor frequently gets drunk with
its own power and, thinking of every
thing stops at nothing Many
crimes are committed in Iabor's name
just as many crimes are committed
in capitals name The Los Angeles
dynamiting was not surpassed in it's
fiendishness by the Colorado coal
camps as he who reads may know.
But labor's cause is the cause of
Democracy-the levelling Of the hills
or greed and the filling up of the hol-
lows of despair. Labor-the common
man-will triumph. His cause is
just.

Labor unions are all right when
they are run right"-yes, and so are
organizations of capital "all right
when they are run right" The point
is that this world is a sort of dog eat
dog affair and history teaches that
any group is going to do some grind
ing when it has the power to do so.
Labor organized because it had to
organize. So, in fact, did capital
Between the two lie the vast body Of

numbers are the greatest its needs

ARBOR DAY FALLS

Friday, April the 18th, has been
designated by Governor James Cox, as
Arbor Day in Ohio. The proclama-
tion in part says:
II suggest to those in charge Of the
institution Of learning under the con-
troll Of patronage Of the state, and to
all public schools, that on that day
they instruct the youth and others in
terested, concerning the planting Of
trees, the value Of the growth and the
maintenance Of forests and the sac
red duty Of protecting bird life.
Now as never before, it is worth
while to stimulate thoughts Of help
fulness. World events have caused q
perversion Of feeling by which the
finer sensibilities Of nature are apt to
be dulled unless real care is exercised
in their behalf. Every citizen in the
state is urged to cooperate in obser-
vance Of the day"
