in the United States. During President
Sampel Gompers latest visit to Europe
a steady influence has unquestionably
been exercised in the Labor ranks by
Matthew VOL.
Fortunately, Mr.. VOL is well stu
ated to WELD a wholesome influence
in Labor circles, as well as to keep
well informed concerning the prevalent
feeling in the more important indus
trial sections of the country for he is
a vice. president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. acting editor of the
federation's official organ, The FEEDER
ationist, is president of the Interna
tional Allied Printing Trades Associa-
ton. and of the International Photo
Engravers Union.
Mr. VOL. in a recent interview with
a representative of this paper, in Chi
cago, made some observations which
are of special interest at this time.
Among these are. that the collapse
of the unauthorized strike at Seattle
Washington, and the failure of the One
Big Union effort in Winnipeg, Mani
toba followed by the recent short-lived
railroad strike which brought forth
President wilson $ letter to the effect
that nothing could be done with regard
to a settlement except through the
union organization, have given organ
lied Labor cause to think. The re-
suit, he believes, will be steadier ac-
ton.
That Mr.. VOL is correct in this view
can scarcely be doubted. His next
point is, for the general public, per-
haps still more instructive. What is
happening, he says in substance. is
that the radicals have been trying to
break down the trade union movement,
for their effort has been to get the
local organizations to disregard their
international officials. BY radicals"

FOLLOWING THE CALF.

A poem with moral for all slaves
Of precedent is what it's author called
the following:
One day through a primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good calves
should;
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
The trail was taken up next day,
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bellwether sheep,
Pursued the tail Ger vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bellwethers always do;
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was
made
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent
about,
And uttered words Of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path.
The forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned
again,
This crooked lane became road
Where many poor horse with his
load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness
fleet,
That road became village street,
And this, before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Following the zig-zag calf about.
They followed still his crooked way
And lost one hudred years day,
For this such reverence is lent
To we'll established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were | ordained and called to preach,
For men are prone to go it blind,
Along the calf paths of the mind,
And Labor on from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
ts.4. ~ ~
They follow in the beaten track
And out and in and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue
To keep the paths that others do.

losing team had Coach Bobo~ behind

Holmes pitched a good game but his

However they registered total of

DON'T Spoil, 1T
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

We have done fine thing, folks. Let US
not spoil it!
You know how it is. A man does a noble
deed, rises to heroic achievement, and then
either he himself or his friends or his enc
mics spoil it and make it seem ridiculous or
mean by some petty word, deed or gesture.
The feas, coolies, waterbugs and rats are
ever with us. Man is a noble animal. but
the chiggers and house flies respect not his
grandeur.
Admiral Dewey to pull him from his pedestal,
how they swarmed about Roosevelt, Grant,
and Lincoln. The heroic figures remain, the
pests are forgotten, but, at the time, their &C.
tivities Inundated us all. We have won a
splendid victory When the crisis came we
met it glOriOusly. Let us not spoil it,
Of course not so great thing could have
been accomplished without friction, dissatis-
faction, and imperfection. Some were bound
not to be pleased. But why not forget all
our slips and awkward gestures and remem-
Der only our greatness?
Shall we sheer at the heroism of Chateau
Thierry because some lieutenant was mar
tinet, or despise the achievements of the navy
because we know sailor who won't pay US
that SIS he borrowed?
Come, let us take the larger view!
Great Britain has her faults, we all have
our pettinesses and irritating ways, but, look
ed at as a whole, what magnificent Great
britain it is. She stood by Belgium and
france, she maintained the loyal support of
her colonies, Canada, Australia and india
were ready to die for her when it came to the
pinch, she hung on like bulldog till she
won.
You can criticize France, you can criticize
everybody but after all what a splendid
France, what courage beyond all praise she
showed
You can find things you don't like that
Italy has done, but you are a poor stick it
Jou cannot be stirred by the magnificent rally
Il italy to the common cause OF mankind
And America. Everything we did might,
OF course, have been doLe better. We blLn-
darGd, stumbled, and took wrong bypaths.
But we got there. Don't forget that. We
were pacifsts, and unready, and absurd and
everything, but we got two million boys
across three thousand mics Of water and
landed a wallop on Fritzs jaw that sent him
10 the ropes, just the same.
And don't forget Woodrow Wilson is our
president. Defeat him and his party at the
polls next time, if you want to, but fer de-
Cency'S sake don't besmirch your own coun-
Try and its wonderful record by belittlng
your regul ary elected thief!
Baker and Daniels and i.ershng are not
Democrats or Republicans; they are your
representatives; you honor yourselves when
you honor them. Don't be afraid to be gen
erous.
Let US be fine, if we can, and if not, at
east let us keep still.

Pig Clubs in Georgia.

The organization and development of pig
clubs in Georgia deserves to succeed, and
| we believe that every encouragement should
| be given to the movement that happily is
| taking root all over the state The posi-
bilities are almost unlimited Not only does
the plan under which the club movement
| operates contribute to the material prosperity
and improvement of the communities in
which the clubs are organized, but what is
equally as important the clubs serve to in
| spire and better prepare for better citizenship
hundreds of boys and girls in the rural dis
tricts. We regard it as particularly fortu-
nate, from the statement of Mr.. James e.
Downing, of the state college of agriculture
who is sponsoring the movement in the state,
that pig clubs are local to no particular sec
tion of Georgia. He tells us that the breed
ing of hogs will thrive in every county in
the state, and he informs us moreover that
the progressive citizenship in most of the
counties is awakened as to the practical good
that will result from the promotion of such
organizations among the boys and girls.
The recent celebration at Meadowview
farm of the Barlow county Boys and Girls
Pig club measurably indicates the practical
possibilities of such work in Georgia Start
ing with membership of about thirty, some
two years ago, the Barlow county club to-day
numbers several hundred members, who
engage annually in friendly and helpful
competition in the breeding of blooded Berk-
shire hogs. 1t is the ambition Of the pro-
to enlist the interest of every boy and girl in
the county, to the end that within few
years Barlow will take it's place as among
the leading pork producing counties Of the
south. The youngsters of the county have
learned that pork may be raised with pleas
ure and profit, and there has sprung up a
friendly rivalry which insures the success of
the undertaking.
The Meadowview farm is of course an in
centive and inspiration to the youth of
Barlow county, but there is no good reason
why the breeding of blooded Berkshires
should not meet with the same measure of
success in other counties that has crowned
the efforts of Mr.. Ruohs Pyron, whose pigs
today rank with the finest to be found in
the United States.
The Journal takes great pleasure in invit-
ing attention to the progress that is being
made in the production of pork in Georgia,
and it is with deep interest in the material
prosperity of Geosgia a whole that we
commend the pig club movement to every
community in the state.
