So the two Dingo dogs wagged their
tails and agreed that Ehey would be

And the first Dingo dog sang this
song, while the second Dfngo dog sang
the chorus. I'll tell You the chorus
first, which isn't, of course. the way
to do it but then the D.nso dogs did
it i'm this fashion.
Most creatures would have the first
verse first and then the chorus, but
not with the Dingo dogs
I'll sing the chorus first" said the
second Dingo dog.
VERY WELL" said the first Dingo
dog. -

chorus which was q refrain which
went like this:

Really, it makes fine chorus just

Then the first D.ngo dog sang the

themselves in the eyes of the people Of

Equal Right to Work.
(St. Adams Messenger. J

One very great weakness in the un-
ionism program is the intolerance that
IS shown non-union workers. The
mere fact that, employers will employ
non-union as well as union men has
caused great many strikes in this
country. Up in Canada just now, at
the national industrial conference
which is seeking to bring labor and
capital nearer together, the president
of the Dominion Trades congress told
the conference that if non union men
were admitted into any working agree
ment that might be arranged. the eff
forts toward Improvement would fail.
Not SO long ago the American pub
lie read in its papers about coal miners
arming themselves and going out with
the intention of driving the non union
men in another colliery away from their
work. Of course this represented an
invasion of the personal liberty that is
guaranteed under the constitution and
was serious offense against the or.
ganic law of the land.
A man has a right to work whether
he belongs to a union or not. There is
more to be said in favor of the EN-.
ployer who is determined not to en-
ploy union men than there is for the
unionists who will not work with those
who are not members of their organi.
cations and who will resort to industri-
al war in order to put their intolcr
ances into effect. The great cry of the
unions is that they seek to assure. faii
play for the workingman. They would
make more of an appeal to the public
if they were not, in so many instances
rankly unfair to the workingman, who
for any reason, does not wish to affili
ate with them.

Slaves
Before all men was created eaual.
some of them was created UNEQUAL be-
ing the slaves.
A slave had to do everything his
master ordered him, whether he felt
like it or not, witch he genrelly dident,
and if he sed, - Hey, watts you think |
am, a slave?' his master would say.
Sure you are WITCH he was.
Slaves used to pick cotton in cot
ton fields, and if they dident pick it
about a mile a minnit a overseer with
boots on cracked 'em with big whip,
and every time they objected they got
another kraek for acting as if they was
born equal, and the result was they
dident ubject.
If slaves had Children, the Children
grew up to be slaves jest because they
was slaves Children, and if they had
Children their children grew up to be
slaves because they was slaves chill

trnbbles is jest matter of habit.

slaves could tawk back to each other

slave wunted to tawk back to wife
man, the neerest he could come to il
was to tawk back to another slave
| After vile the slaves started to
educate themselves on account of wunt

how to reed and write, and one DAY
they saw in the papers that they had
jail bin set free, so they all stopped
werk and started to rejoice.
This proves that nuthin can take tn,
place of education.

The Randolph Herald and News says

ripe for Vermont to discard the pri
mary and 60 back to an improved con
vention system. These statements show
which way the wind is setting; but
some things are lacking for an intelli
gent changing of the law. Thus far
no improved convention system has
been presented for considerations Nor
has it been shown that politics would

u. S. Aviation Doomed.
Manufacturers Fear
Congress's Refusal to Make
$15,000,000 Appropriation
Called Blow to Industry

The failure of Congress to make an
emergency appropriation of $4,000 900
for army aircraft construction sounds
the death knell of aviation in this
country, according to statement made
by the Manufacturers Aircraft Asso-
citation last night.
THE action of Congress in cutting
out this emergency appropriation,
continues the statement, "deprives the
nation of equipment for national de-
Tense which is greatly needed at once,
and virtually serves notice on the air
plane and airplane engine industry of
the United States to go out of bust
ness.
"If we who originated the practical
airplane do not care to MAINTAIN or de-
velop the art, we might as we'll as u
nation relinqush all idea of initiative
IN either commercial or military aero
nautics and trust to Great Britain to
protect US in the air in the future, just
as we trusted to her and our other as
sociates in the war with Germany
Great Britain has appropriated $780,
100000 and France s220,000,000 for
aviation. 1t is understood that Japan
has appropriated in excess Of s20O,0O0,-
600. Yet America refuses to appro-
pirate even $150000C0 for urgent air
craft construction"
