And The Public Pays

Since January l strikes and lock-
outs have cost workers $25 100000 in
wages and employers 100000, 900 in
production losses. Guess who is 60
ing To pay for it.-New York Tribune.
The dear, patient public, that's who.
And the very men who are out on
strike are included in what is common
ly known as the Public. Therefore
they arc the losers coming and going
while the innocent suffer with the
guilty in increased prices to make up
for the losses. There are none SO
blind as those who cannot see."

strike releases $4,000 tons of sugar

THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL
HAS CAUSE TO BE PROUD

ANSWER to Why Should the Spirit of
Mortal Be Proud?"
When the Spirit has gone to its Master
above
And the life blood is chilled in the dear
ones we love;
When the rose and the violet grow
ON the bier
OF the frame where the Spirit once
dwelt with US here;
When the Reaper has gathered his
toll, on the way,
OF bright golden tresses, or hair silv-
er-gray,
Sweet anthems we sing, and praise
Him aloud,
For the Spirit OF Mortal has cause
to be proud.
In the days long ago, it was little man
to do,
Still less did he know of his talents
and worth,
How he came into life, and develop
ed with earth.
But he rose from his prison lowly
estate,
Each hour growing bolder, each day
growing great,
Each day seeking knowledge, with
purpose avowed;
So the Spirit of Mortal has cause
to be proud.
When we think of his wonderful re-
cord on earth,
Since the day our Create. unto him
gave birth,
His dreams and his plans, all SEEM
ed lighter than air,
And none to give credit for doing
his share.
Yet, bravely he struggled, alone In
the fight,
In the bright light of day, or the dark
of the night.
Over tasks that were weary, his
shoulders were bowed,
And the Spirit % Mortal has cause
to be proud.
He delved in the mountains, in search
Of bright ore.
Each day found new treasures to add
to his store;
Made roadways On oceans, for com
fort of all,
Chained the lightning and caused it
to answer his call,
The force of the waters he framed to
coerce,
And delighted to conquer each object
adverse.
All nature he masters, no failures
|. allowed;
So the Spirit Of Mortal has cause
20 be proud.
He flies through the air. like Il bird
in its flight
Sails under the ocean and g'.iles his
course right.
By the tick of the wireless receives
news from home,
And no matter where, he is never
alone.
He talks to his loved ones, in far dis
tant lands,
All nature he moves to enforce his
commands,
His conquest is seen on the waves,
in the cloud;
So the Spirit of Mortal has cause
to be proud.
The king and the peasant alike do
their share,
The saint and the sinner are found
everywhere;
Side by side with the sage and the
scholar so true,
All rejoice in the work that their
hands find to do.
And the Spirit Immortal seems to
stand at mans side,
