Once upon a time there was man
who said, II will work no more, and
God will take care of me-" And so he
gave away all he had and sat down to
wait for God to take care of him.
After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But in the dis
tance he saw some horses laden with
packs which he knew contained food
to eat. And so he grew so hungry that
he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the fOOd-laden
horses. They led him a fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day,
and there he found food that had been
left over.
"This is harder than work" he said,
land now | realize that God will take
care of the man who Is up and doing,
but If you sit down and wait the horses
will pass you by, carrying, Gods gifts

ALL CALLED ON TO WORK
Must Be Apparent to Every One
at This Time.

Labor has gained throughout the
last year in the feeling and thought
Of the world. The strain and perils of
the times have brought an unusually
sober and reflective state of mind. Men
and women have been more than COM
monty concerned with the gravest
problems of existence. They have
given more than the ordinary consid-
GRAFTON to the needs and dangers Of
life.
All this has contributed to the dig
nifty and honor Of hard work. Never
was there more general recognition
Of the necessity Of meeting real trials
manfully and playing a mans part in
the serious business of living. Never
In recent times was it more difficult
to shirk without discredit or spend
the crowded years in idleness without
fOrfeiting respect and reputation. The
world has so much to do, so many
great tasks crowded upon its mental
and physical resources that work is
more than ever before the plaineSt and
most vital duty Of all who have
strength for service.

Momentous Labor Day.

Labor day has a special meaning in
this country. 1t is especially a day
celebrated by organized labor. Even
in this aspect this Labor day has re
newed significance, for in this hour OF
the nations grave decision trade union.
ism throughout the land has pledged
the strength of its arm and the force
of its spirit to the defense of the big
job, the job of America. There is no
element of the nations strength at this
moment more inspiring than this raj
lying of union labor, its leaders and its
rank and file, to the nations cause.
This is the enlightened will of free
men, conscious of the big job and ready
to defend it.

Society had to pay for all this, and
pay appalling costs. 1t is paying for
them still.
Yet when it was proposed to do no
more than to mitigate some Of its
worst features, mine owners violent
ly protested and said they would be
ruined.
In this case Of the Welsh coal mines
the government determined to risk
the ruin, and reduced the hours of
labor.
After q time observers were aston
ished to see that social conditions i'm
proved, general intelligence rose, good
order increased, and the general vel
fare grew in proportion as the working
hours shortened. The wonder Is that
1t took mankind so long to recognize
the fact.
In the olden days. when one man
made a pair Of shoes, let US say, he
could exercise his mind and please
his taste in designing and creating
them.
In these days, to stand all day turn
Ing piece Of metal back and forth,
or tending a machine that cuts out

pervert the soul and darken the life.
The more people you have working
long hours at these deadly employ
ments the worst for the average con-
ditiOn of the population, which IS the
only national strength.
Everything that really counts comes
out Of the masses, the common people,
the general run of mankind.
All the inventions that amount to
anything come from that source.
All the ideas that really help come
from what the snobs call plebeian

- HEAR and read the Outgivings Of
many eminent minds about an
eight-hour day, and they all seem
to proceed upon the theory that
eight hours for a days work Is re-

daring experiment, and nobody knows
what may come of it.
AS a matter of fact, it is so old 1t

Four hundred years ago among our
fOrefatherS an eight-hour working day
was the rule and standard.

In modern times the increase of la

hand or transportation worker now is
200 or 300 times as efficient as the
average worker of rs years ago, but
he is no better off. The huge Increase
in his output has not shortened his
hours.
This is plainly wrong. 1t is rottenly
and intolerably wrong. 1t Is danger
ously wrong for the community. The
eight-hour movement seeks to set it
right.
The eight-hour idea means some
thing to the worker, but a lot more

See how this is. Up to 1874 wom-

day, or something ike tnat, IN the
