AN of a poor widow. He was born
about forty years ago, just about the
time that Joe Williams began to run for
office and hold office. His father died
when he was boy of four years of age,
and his mother was forced to the neces-
sity of sewing for her livelihood, but her
son began when he was small boy to
relieve her as far as possible of the bur
den of the family, and her declining
years were made easy by the support
that he gave her. He began working as
grocery clerk, and has hammered his

Children Inexpensive.

In the North as It is in the South They

taught to be self-reliant and early learn
how to go about alone and manage

times 60 to private schools, but the

After that they attend the big gram

For generations the sons and daugh-

North have married until II almost goes
by consent that they shall do So.
Vacations are usually taken by tho

To the Men Who Labor

ME Citizens League Candidates appeal to
you upon the strongest ground. The most
persistent and malicious efforts have been
made to poison your minds against the Paine ticket
A flood of misrepresentation and falsehoods have
been used to make you believe that these candidates
are not in sympathy with labor Nothing could be
farther from the truth AS matter of fact Joe
Williams was born in wealth and has lived from
public office all of his life His family pride them
selves on their pedigree and their social prominence
On the other hand Rowlett Paine, John Edgar, Hor-
ace johnson, Charles Shannon and Tom Allen are
all elf.made men. They have the sympathy for
labor that comes from personal experience with
everything pertaining to it.

pose. Thousands of voters will cast their ballots
for the Citizens League Ticket in order to show
their resentment of such actics. A large element of
the police themselves revolt at the work they are
compelled to do to hold their positions and will sup
port Paine and his colleagues.
Fortunately for the community, Shelby county

and fidelity to duty. He and his deputies are
pledged to see fair and an honest election. ANY
swashbuCkler that seeks to overawe such men will

.i.The substantial argument which

! isf very potent argument indeed.
But the fact is that the cost: t:ot liyins
has certainly reached its peak, and
will probably be lowered by the eff
forts which are now everywhere be-
ing concerted and carried out. II
will certainly be- lowered so soon as
there are settled conditions Of pro-

can certainly tell how long. but in all
probability only for limited time.
Increases in wages, moreover,
certainly result in still further in
creasing the costs Of production, and
therefore, the cost Of living, and we
should only have to gosthru the same
process again. Any substantial In
crease Of wages in leading lines Of
industry at this time would utterly
crush the general campaign which
the government is waging, with en-

success, to reduce the high cost of
