says World T. Lazy.
Lazincss OF labor Is another
item that Or. Crafts thinks needs
touching UP by national leaders.
Here are some OF his warm COM
mrnts Oh that much discussed sub
ject:
The chief trouble with the world
today IS laziness II IS doing more
harm than intempcrancc. immoral
ny or any other Vice. Churches
have spoken for the minimum
wage and collective bargaining
There IS need now for application
OF the ten commandments 10 the Ia
Dor problem; for example, six days
shalt thou labor. as Gods reply to
the childish proposal 10 reduce
work. when the worlds needs more
production, 20 six hours a day Of
five days. Eight hours is the limit
VI lttt1ONlu Dat lt0ufLA0las ltdkallt5 Two
thirds Of six DAYS per week and one
fun day besides for leisure And
that eight hours service for Cod and
man should be rendered with Joy. II
would brand MS as one OF the child
races 10 take thrce-fOurths OF each
day for rest and play. That is near
ing the tramp's ideal.
Formerly tho thoughtleSs public
seemed 10 think that increased
wages came out Of capital, but at
last, when increased wages for rail-
road men were openly paid from in
creased freight charges that put up
the price OF everything that every
body buys. the idea got into the pub
lie mind that increased WAGES are
added 10 the cost OF production and
passed on 10 the ultimate consumer.
II IS, therefore. the concern of us
all that no one should get more than
his fair share of wages-at our eX-
Ierse.'

The proposition OF Gov. Edward

prominent citizens throughout the
country 10 soft-pedal the 18th
amendment in such manner as 70
relieve the terrific saharaishness Of
the country 20 the extent of per-
lnttttng the occasional Quaffing OF
light vines and beer, has caused Re
former Crafts and his watchful as
soCiatCs 10 take Up another Notch ia
their reform belts. These gentle
men are just as bitterly oppose d TO
wine and beer as they are 10 whisky.
They say alcohol Is alcohol, no mat

At the present moment. DR.. Crafts
is organizing a nationwide crusade
Of education TO combat the idea OF
light wines and beer. In order to
overcome the demand for such
drinks, he proposes to arouse the
reform and prohibition element Of
the country 10 such an extent that
reform teams composed OF preach
eTs lawyers, women speakers and
musicians can be employed TO visit
every nook and corner OF every
county Of every state in the union,
making speeches in the towns and
scattering literature at farm houses
and rural post boxes. The chief OBJ

is TO prevent the election of any one
to congress who might be in favor
OF modifying the strict NolStead
law.
The following are some OF the
most important measures DR.. Crafts
has been instrumental in getting
through congress:
