What Other Papers Say.
HUMANITY MUST PAY.

San Antonio Weekly Dispatch:-
Labor slackers has become a familiar
phrase in these days of preparedness
and military urgency. 1t is not a title
or honor, and no halo crowns the
head Of him who bears it. But why
confine the name, or limit the shame,
to the man who falters and fails in
the militant relations of government?
For half century a contest of
mighty import has been waged in
this country.
A contes. for the uplift of labor,
for the emancipation of the wage
slave, for the rescue of womanhood
from industrial and moral degrada-
ton. for the restoration to childhood
of its just opportunity for mental and
physical development. To destroy
the juggernaut Of greed crushing into
the muck, manning and slaughtering
millions of helpless victims; and re-
store to mankind its equal inherit
ance of the good gifts of God, of the
earth which He has given to the
children of men," To all the chill
dren, not to a few self-selected, self
ish and arrogant.
This task is most humane in it's
conception, just in purpose, and glor-
ious in it's high idealism.
But there hive been slackers,
many of them, multitudes of them.
Men who have not contented them
selves with evading duty blu. who
have constituted traitorous force of
handy aids to the powers of malig-
nant selfishness, and cften prevented,
universally retarded, the success of
the holy cause of labor unionism; of
labor united, organized, disciplined,
waging war against a mammonized
industrial autoc "acy.
Yet notwithstanding the slackers,
union labor has written into the laws
of the states and the nation a record
of achievement for human uplift,
such as all the bloody wars OF his
tory cannot match.
1t has lightened the burden of toll
for all, it has cleansed the avenues
of industrial life, secured more
equitable distribution # the earnings
of labor, and forced recognition from
the unwilling lords of c pital.
Today unionism st"nds forth re-
spected by the worthy and feared
only by the selfish and the unjust.
The slackers we have known by
another name, the suggestive title of
"scab"-fit designation for degener-
acy and moral putridity
While the union stands for the
only organized force enlisted in de-
Tense of the worker. and striving for
his advancement, it has right to de-
mand that all workers enlist, and
if they will not, why then by the
closed shop, or the closed mine, to
conscript by force of necessity the
Stacker, tie sneak, the strikebreaker,
who fails to meet the issues of the
hour. the demands of the time, as
honorable men should and will.

In Memory Then dndNow Molly M Sg

family parties sat about under the
dropping willow trees or leaned
against the splendid cedars, and
picknicked after the fashion of
country folk on Decoration day. But
Violet could not take on the holi-
day spirit, and she wandered to the
outskirts Of the burying ground.
On an old stone. gray and wealth
erstained. she read the name of
John James Evans" Here was a
man named John. as had been her
brother. The inscription told her
that the man died a hero In the
Civil war, and the iron guard of
the G.. A. X. with its flag flying In
the soft May breeze had drawn her
toward the spot. But no flowers had
been placed on the grassy mound.
Perhaps the soldiers family and
comrades were all gone, and the
flag had been placed there by a com
mittee appointed 70 decorate all
army graves.
Violet knelt down and began to
arrange clusters OF white and purple
lilacs near the headstone She
dropped many a tear as she worked,
for the image OF her brother was
always before her, and she wonder
ed as she reyerently placed each
flower who would do the same for
him. Tears finally streamed down
her cheeks and she sat down upon
the grass and tried 10 control her
emotion.
When she looked up a man stood
beside her. He held a pot Of flow
ers. old-fashioned blooms. He was
looking at the flowers on the grave.
Did you do that" he asked Vio-
let.

PLEASANT GROVE WILL FURNISH

Pleasant Grove has started the
move Rev. Mosely publicly an
nounced, last Sunday, that within
30 days he wanted that church to
have enrolled SO new subscribers
to The Forum, and that at least d
months subscription be paid.
He urges the people to read
their own literature, patronize their
businesses, not because you hate
others. but in self-defense. DR..
Mosely is absolutely right, the col
ored man must raise his own stand
ard, do his own thinking and open
avenues for himself. The success OF
the colored newspaper in this COM
munity is the colored peoples sue
cess, not merely, the success OF
those who run the paper. The pa
per is the mouth-piece of the COM
munity and the better The Forum
becomes, the better will become
the community the more adj
vanced the community, the better
will be our churches, lodges and
social strata in general. No com
munity group can rise any higher
than it's leaders, thinkers and min
listers.

REV. M0SELY breaches ABL
SERMON. MAY 9TH.

Rev. Mosely, the new pastor OF
Pleasant Grove Church, preached
a practical, but able, sermon last
Sunday. at the eleven O'Clock serv-
ices.
Rev. Mosely. in his preliminary
remarks, excoriated the guilty ones
for their besetting sins and declared
that the religion of Jesus Christ is
principle; that mere Sunday relie-
ion was of no avail. He emphasized
a very important prerequisite,
namely, that before God can get a.
mong any people, or group that
people, or group, must first be re-
conciled one with the other that
there is no hope of getting together
in heaven unless we first get to-
gether here; that no person can
serve God, or be served by God,
who bates, OF holds aught against,
a brother. He made this principle of
the Christian religion so plain that
his sermon can not but do great
good. A large number of persons
have the wrong conception of the
Christian religion altogether. They
seem to think specifically and pre-.
sumptuously; that shouting and
noise, without, count. They seem
to not be cognizant of, "Whatsoev-
er a man soweth ETC. and AS
man thinketh in his heart, (mind.) !
so is he. Judge not that We be
not judged etc.
Such sermons, given in the spir.
il as given by Rev. Mosely, will
bring forth fruit meet for repent
ance.
