service kag with a star for each en-
ploye who has gone to war, or be-
cause he buys Liberty bonds, or gives
to the Red Cross. Those Liberty
bonds represent the sweat of his
working employees. Red Cross dona-
tions stand for the unearned incre-
ments to himself which might have
gone to his employees to better their
condition. He may top the list of
war contributors, but he is not near
the patriot, nor near the American,
that is he who either in overalls or in
khaki is today fighting for Uncle Sam.
Give me Americans, real Ameri-
cans, true Americans, with one heart
and one mind, who sacrifice all that
America may win, without profit to
themselves save the honor and glory
that come from such sacrifice, and /
shall forget their place Of birth, for
in the diadem of Americas glory there
shall be jeweled the name of every
hero in this great war, here and "over
there" and every name will shine
with equal luster no matter whether
that human jewel was born here or
lover there" You don't have to be
born in America to be an American,
but il you are in America you should
be an American.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-10

men like sober Jim Smith, the higher
the wage.
Anyway, that's the way the ordi-
nary boss figures it. He must strike
fair average, because he has all
kinds of men in the shop.
The advantage to the sober man is
that he's the last man laid off. and
the first man taken on, and he has a
better chance for promotion. But
even he is bound to suffer because
some other man persists in getting
drunk or even drinking moderately"
In such a situation there can be no
such thing as personal liberty" No
man has the right to degrade his fel-
low workers thru his personal habits.
If the low grade man were the vic
tim of an unfortunate handicap for
which he could not be held RESPONSE
BILE, it would be different matter.
But any workingman who deliber-
ately lowers standards for all his fell
lows simply because he chooses to de-
base himself thru the use of strong
drink, should be regarded as a traitor
to the cause of labor.
WorSingmen owe it to themselves
to remove every obstacle which stands
in the way of their united progress. II
the saloon is proving to be such a
barrier, there is but one thing for
labor to do-remove it.-Charles
Sickle.

A little lead on life to win;

To gather learning as l went;
And all the things that l despised
And left neglected, I'd have priced.
We're l once more to go to school
I'd learn each theorem and rule;
Altho it made me twist and squirm,
With honor / would start the term;
I'd do the simpler lessons well,
And then when harder tasks befell
To master them I'd be equipped;
Twas there so often that l slipped; !;
Tho eagerly yearned to play,
I'd get my studies every day.
No rule or lesson now know
Was hard, unless I'd made it so;
And when studied as I should
And closed the day with markings
With speed and ease always wrought
The problems that tomorrow brought,
And had 1 known what now know

the evening, one Of the entertainers

mcdiately I kicked the set speech out
Of my mental storage house and
seized upon the theme Of that son.
"You Don't Have to Come from Ire
land to be Irish" From its psyche
logical setting / took my text, "You
Don't Have to be Born in America to
be an American" How true that is,
is best told by the numberless men
of foreign birth who are today guild
ing the destinies Of our nation-here
and "over there"
What matters it where one is born
The place of birth is but an accident.
Men do not measure ones relation and
position in this world by his place of
birth. The kaiser would have been
the kaiser just the same, with the
same disposition, had he been born in
Bavaria, Saxony or Prussia.
We have in this country men who
can trace their ancestry back to our
Puritan forefathers, who are at this
very hour disloyal to our country in
its dire need; and we have men here
who have come from across the seas,

DUTY VERSUS RIGHTS
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

The workingman demands justice
and he is right. But God demands
more than justice. His imperative is
love. And love is the fulfilling of the
law.
Gradually men are coming to learn
this important truth. Finally it viii
be the basis of the settlement of the
labor problem-and every other hu-
man problem.
1t cannot be said therefore that
workingmen are asking too much
when they demand a square deal. The
trouble of it is that they do not ask
enough. This means that they are
not giving enough. For this princi-
pie affects the worker as it does the
bosses.
One of the first things that a school
boy has impressed upon his mind is
the doctrine of "the right of liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" And
somehow he never gets away from
this philosophy. He is not to be
blamed for it because our systems of
jurisprudence-that is, the laws that
govern us-also place the emphasis
upon the rights of mankind.
You never yet heard a labor speech
or a political speech that did not en-
| large upon the rights of the peo-
pie" We are all the time talking
about the rights of children, the rights
of women, the rights of capital. the
rights of labor, civil rights and po-
litical rights, till the doctrine of hu-
man rights has resulted in endless
hatred and confusion.
Gods method is different. The Bible
