A SERMON ON DIGNITY.

see some folks that are. When ye
see an old plute going about look
ing like he a chlselled out OF
pure marble and was a 33rd de-
gree martyr, besides being boiled
in oil occasionally, burned at the
stake frequent, and devoured by
wild beasts constant, right thar yo
see a lump Of Dignity.
And bend over here and listen:
[ never seed SIGH a one but turn
ed out. to be a drotted fool. They
assume this load Of dignity and
hide in ambush behind it to keep
folks from knowing they r.

Labor, having brains and a
cause that God knows is just, has
been beseeching Capital on blended
knees for years to give us decent
wages and spread just a scrim-
tickle Of butter on our daily
bread. Capital, taking refuge be-
hind it's dignity, says, "We can
not handy words with the rabble.
It's beneath our dignity"
But some day-some day-the
rasping file Of labor will penetrate
the cloak Of stupidity, cupidity
and cowardice that covers the
rotten hides Of the rulers Of men,
and We'll see them for what they
area warty protuberance on the
body polite, a pimple on the
back side Of progress, and a foe
to good times, education and eff
cheney.
Another thing: Dignity never
permits levity, and may God have
mercy on us when we can't see
the funny side Of things. It eases
the pain of poverty when we see
what a comic figger we cut in our
old clothes. When I see what a

Napoleon both got theirs.
The ultimate consumer will now

Life is pretty much Of a crazy
quilt, and in time we all hit the

Do not do things by halves. If

You might as we'll be good. The
fun Of being wicked is greatly
exaggerated.
All, we'll, maybe we will all get
some praise when our obituaries

Fashion has moved the waist

The divisional committee of the Democratic party for this Division months ago endorsed J. F. A. Strong for governor and Paul Kjegsted for United States marshal. These en- dorsements while they had the over whelming support of the Division at large, dld not work in with the plans of certain politicians in Southeastern Alaska and a small number here, who are out to "get' Strong. It is to be hoped that all Democrats who believe in political home rule, instead of out side dictation and would prefer our present Sourdough Governor to man who came to Alaska as a Republican carpetbagger, will attend tomorrow nights meeting of the Democratic Club at Burgh's Hall.
