As one at night in anguish, who
smiles on her child at morn,
So out of the pang and pain of war
shall certain truth be born
The miner and the merchant
Are both brave men,
See them both in khaki,
They do not differ then
One mid death and danger,
In deed and daring one,
And these shall come the comrades
When the course of war is run.
Now this shall be the great rewar
when DER world in strife,
Like sun that bursts through thunder,
the great peace lifts to life.
The statesman and the workman
Are both true men.
See them with one purpose,
They do not differ then
One who guides a nation,
One who makes man,
And these shall still be kindred
When the new day greets the sun.
The world is torn with its torture,
with pain that knows no rest.
But this shall be the glory at morn
ing on her breast.
The statesman and the workman
Shall be one estate.
The miner and the merchant
Shall be as mate to mate;
The sham of caste has crumbled,
Man knows his brothers worth,
And these shall be one blood,
When the new dawn greets the
earth.

MERCHANT DEPUTIES
ARE HEAVY LOSERS
IN BUSINESS

The actions of the Everett mer-
chants who acted as deputies in the
recent disturbances are finding out
that it does not pay to be on the side
of the manufacturing and banking
autocrats. Ed Halves, the big blust-
ering bully, has lost so much bust
ness that he has had to give up his
lob and leave town. The Everett
Print Shop. of which Corners is man
aver, has lost so much business that
they are on their last legs. The
board of control of the Everett La
Dor Journal has refused to renew its
contract with Conner. Other deputy
merchants are in the same fix and
one, the Home Shoe Store has cum
ningly taken over the Buster Brown
Shoe Store and made no mention of
the fact. Our readers will do well
to note this fact and encourage others
to deal only with the merchants who
advertise in this paper.

SUPPORT THE EARLY
CLOSING MOVEMENT

Everett merchants have arranged
to close their stores at p. m. sharp
on weekdays excepting Saturday and
we hope our readers will help this
movement by refusing to patronize
any merchant who tries to solicit
business after this hour. A mer-
chant who keeps open after this
hour is a scab on the other mer-
chants who want to do the right
thing by their employees and should
be told so in plain language. Every
purchase you make after p. m. is
a blow at the labor movement that
is trying to reduce the hours of labor.
Don't scab on the merchants who are
in favor Of the short work day.
