NOT HOW MUCH
BUT HOW GOOD

We believe in the stuff We are hand
ing out, in the firm we are working
for; and in our ability to get results.
We believe that honest stuff can be
passed out to honest men by honest
methods. We believe in working, not
weeping; in boosting, not knocking;
and in the pleasure of our job. We
believe that a man gets what he goes
after, that one deed done today is
worth two deeds tomorrow, and that
no man is down and out until he has
lost faith in himself. We believe in
today and the work we are doing; in
tomorrow and the work we hope to do,
and in the sure reward which the
future holds.
We believe in courtesy, in kindness,
in generosity, in good cheer, in
friendship and in honest competition.
We believe there is something doing,
somewhere, for every man ready to
do it. We believe we're ready-right
now!-[Elbert Hubbard.

GOOD EXAMPLE

GOOD EXAMPLE
This scribe has long contended for
the application of the doctrine of the
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man, and gospel of sunshine,
to all the affairs of life, and in the
main has received more SCOTS and
cynicism than anything else. 1t is,
therefore, pleasing to note the follow
ing, dug out by the Literary Digest,
which shows a growing.tendency over
the country to do that very thing. In
this instance it is being applied in
dustrially, and we predict that the
time is coming when it will also be
applied commercially, and when it is,
many of the ills which now Cypress all
humanity will quickly be solved:
Take your trouble to the Lord
He's your big boss" was the counsel
recently received and acted upon by
a body OF mill workers in Wheeling.
West Virginia, who were on the verge
of going out on strike, and in Cleve-
land, Ohio, a dispute between Swift
& Company and $50 packing house
employees was settled after the strik-
ers and the management of the plant
had listened to a homily on the love
eff God and the necessity Of returning
to His teachings by John j. Walsh,
Cancellation commissioner of the
United States department of Ia
Dor. I'VE must get back to Gods
teachings, and must have brotherly
love in our hearts to make the worlds
great undertakings go forward" ex-
horted Mr.. Walsh. In the West Vir-
ginia town application of the prin-
ciples of the sermon on the mount to
the solution of modern Industrial
problems has been suggested to the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, by Will H. Clovig, a locally promi-
nent business man, known as the
peace maker" and that body has
definitely endorsed the teachings Of
Christ as a platform on which both
capital and labor can meet and agree.
The Golden Rule often has been
suggested as a means toward bring
ing capital and labor to a common
under landing; but in Wheeling a Il
rs vicinage it seems for the first time
to have been put into practice with
effective result. There it is planned
to rely on this principle and on the
vii.ue of brotherly love to compose
al the differences which may arse
between employers and the working
men. The local press generally
agree that the Christian doctrine may
be found to be permanently practi-
cable, and one paper suggests that its
local enunciator be placed on the next
federal Industrial commission. The
resolutions adopted by the labor as
sembly announce:
"First-Be it hereby resolved, that
we, the duly elected delegates repre-
senting all of the organized crafts
of the Wheeling district, do hereby
unanimously declare it to be our be-
lief that the teachings of Christ on
stitute a platform upon which all mer
can agree.
"Second-That we believe they can
be applied to modern industrial prob
lens.
"Third-That we will cooperate
with those who will join with us in al
earnest endeavor to apply His teach
ings in the Wheeling district.

 The republican rally at the Grange Hall last night under the auspices of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People was re- sarded as one of the most successful of its kind ever conducted by that association locally. This was the first rally for the colored people and they turned out in large numbers. S. H. Baker of Pennington avenue presided. The speakers were Mrs. Frank P. Usher, leader of the local women's Republican club, Charles Hanson, can- dldate for representative, Rev. E. F. BarrowS, pastor of the A. M E. Zion church, John H. Tru~1oull, senatorial nominee from the Fifth District and J. E. Kefford of Hartford Mrs. w. w. Johnson of Hartford was unable to appear.
 MT. Baker opened the meeting and expressed his. gladness in seeing the large delegation of colored women at their first rally. MT. Baker said lI1dI IIle ODJeCI or the NdI1Ondl ASSO- citation was mainly to get the colored voters in line for the coming election and aid in making it one of the biggest republican victories ever held. There are at least 13,0OO,000 colored people throughout the country and MT. Baker felt that if they united into one great body it would aid greatly in making victory ussured. MT. Baker said that the true principles of Americanism was the constitution of the United States and should any one attempt to deny persons those rights they fail to be true American citizens. He said that he believed in voting for econom-. ical and industrial interests. MT. Baker felt that it is the rightof the people to be protected by the federal govern ment. He also said that when the colored people cast their vote for representatives and senators it is their right to know if they are interested in their welfare.
 Edwin Hills, chairman of the re- publican, town committee, gave a short speech on the local conditions. Speak ing of casting votes next Tuesday, MT. Hills suggested that all who possibly could should do So before going to work. He also announced that all persons who were unable to walk to the polls on that day should not hes itate to call on MT. Baker who would see to it that they would be conveyed to the Town Hall. Mrs. Frank P. Usher agreed to aid this work also She gave an interesting outline of the plans of the republican club of the women of the town and the possi- bility of making it a permanent one Her suggestions. on this matter were heartily received. Mrs. Usher also suggested classes in citizenship among the colored people These would be conducted by pastor, Rev. MT. Bar
