To the Wage Farmers of America
Greetings:
We meet to observe this Labor Day
at a time when the citizenship, the
understanding, the loyalty and solidar.
ity of all our people is passing
through the test of fire.
We meet at time when the great
need is to stand together.
We are confronted by unemploy-
ment. Nearly six millions of our peo-
pie have no work.
The reactionary forces among en-
ployers are slow to turn their minds
to constructive effort
They are slow to learn that the in
junction as abused in industrial dis
putes is an unlawful, unfair, ineff-
fective, tyrannical weapon.
They are slow to learn that the So
called individual contract as meas
ure of industrial disfranchisement is
badge of enslavement which Ameri-
can workers will not accept.
They are slow to learn that the de-
struetion of our movement is impos-
sible, either through the infamous
mis-named open shop campaign or by
any other device.
But, though they are slow to learn
THEY DO LEARN.
Every advance of labor marks an
advance in the education of employ
ers
The constructive ability of our
movement is called upon to the ut
most to bring the full flood of life
back to our industries under condi-
tions of freedom, with the democratic
ideal dominating everywhere.
We will not be driven back. We
will go forward. The light that has
come into the life and work of our
people can never be shut away from
them. There must be more, and
more, and more-more tomorrow than
today, more the next day than tomor-
row, and more for every coming to-
morrow
The times of today are severely
trying. They are not of our making
but they are for our redemption.
We must organize for our task. The
unorganized are helpless. They can
help neither themselves nor their fel-
lows. Their strength, their skill
their inspiration, are lost until they
organize.
Our first great task is to organize
to bring together the unorganized, tc
unite and federate the organized, tc
bring together in strength of united
thought and action all of our people
everywhere.
Man today wins no victories alone;

TO BE THRIFTY
is NOT
TO BE MISERLY

"To be thrifty is not to be
miserly. In motive, action, and
result, one is the very antlthesis
of the other.
"The dying father who urged
his sons to dig for the buried
pot of gold, we'll knowing that
the increased productivity, fol-
lowing the deeply turned soil,
would result In golden harvest
returns, understood thrift.
THE miser who boards a pot
of gold, by seIf-denlal, starva-
ton methods, and crafty deal
ings with his feliowmen, may
In time have the pot of gold,
but he will have missed the
really good things of life. He
has not practiced thrift.
"The Master commended not
he who brought back the same
talents which had been given
him, but he who brought back
his allotment OF talents, with
the increase thereon!
when the first Secretary of
the Treasury worked out for
General Washington a plan of
finance suitable for the 13 col
onies, then united as the first
great Republic, he had no vision
OF making every citizen stock
holder in the United States.
"such vision was to come
after century and half of ma
tional life. But IL did come as
a result of a worlds war, and a
ouickencd and consecrated pa
triotIsm. And 1t was made pos
sible to become material
stockhoIder in the greatest 60
Ing concern in the world today,
the United States of America.
And the opportunity, which all
should hasten 10 accept, Ia
through the medium of tax-ex-
empt Savings Certificates and
War Savings Stamps, which can
be had in any quantity at banks,
postoffices, and almost any
place where financial transac-
tions are conducted.
Certificates and War Sav.
inas Stamps have intrinsic val
ues, certain rates of interest, or
a fixed value at maturity In
sum greater than cost price.
They can be registered and In
case of necessity they can be
redeemed at full purchase value.
"You can buy Thrift Stamps
In 25 cent, War Savings Stamps
In SIS, and Treasury Savings Ger
tificates in $25, 800, and 81 900
denominations, and they are,
each and all, as safe as tho
United States, and should the
| United States cease to exist,
who is there who would care to
survive?"

MARK BRILLIANT
Going Out of Furniture
Business

One of Hamilton's best known fur
niture merchants, Mark Brilliant, prop
rietor of the Brilliant Furniture Co.,

vote his entire time to insurance and
real estate and to the Lincoln Build
ing Loan and Savings Co.

terprise.

Edwin M. BulkIey, Financier and

East Relief Work.

New York-'There is no spot on
the globe today where there is more
desperate and hopeless suffering than
in Armenia" Edwin M. Bulkley, the
well known New York banker, who has
just been elected chairman of the
board of trustees of Near East Relief,
declared today. Mr.. Bulkley succeeds
the late Alexander J. Hemphill as
head of the American relief work in
Armenia, Turkey, Palestine, Syria,
Mesopotamia and Persia. He has long
been connected with the banking house
of Spencer Trask & Co, and is thor
oughly conversant with the Near East
ern situation.

"there is famine that tears at our
heart-strings and evokes our pity and
our help. But in Armenia 1t is not
starvation alone that the people face

NOT MANY FEEBLE-MlNDED
Authority Shows That Only Two Per
Cent of the Population Can Be
So Classed.

The idea that we are menaced as a
nation by illiterates and feeble-minded
is all wrong. We have illiterates and
feeble-minded in our midst, but they
are a relatively negligible force numer-
ically. The reverse idea, or idea in the
reverse, that we are short on genius,
also is wrong, according to DR.. George
G. Chambers, director of admissions at
the University of Pennsylvania, and
the educators who cooperate with
him. Doctor Chambers says genius as
a national crop is statistically as
strong as the more discussed feeble
minded and that each represents a
mere 2 per cent of the population.
But genius, says DR.. Chambers, is
not the mere possession of a talent
swollen to phenomenal degree, perhaps
so hypertrophied that it is useless. He
denies genius to the man, however
great his talents, who cannot and does
not exercise them. Genius in. his def
milton is high intelligence followed by
actual use of that intelligence in life.
And intelligence is the ability to adapt
ones self to new circumstances, to
ones surroundings-in a word, to be
able to know something and make use
of ones knowledge. Under this def
milton it is surprising that the adapt
able Yankee should not hold a higher
record for genius than 2 per cent

PRESIDENT ENDORSES THE

appeal being made by Maj, Gen. Leon
ard Wood on behalf of the Near East
Relief, l Madison Avenue, New York
City, for a nationwide Lenten Sacri-

Christians of the Near East

"There ought to be no cessation or
relaxation of our sympathetic Ameri-
can efforts to be Of service to these
stricken people. One can well believe
that they will not survive if we with
draw the relief which has heretofore
been so generous from the private
American purse. 1t has seemed to me
that all we have done has borne diyi-
dends tenfold in the consciousness that
we have done an humane thing for a
people well deserving our generous
sympathy.

old and as cultured as that of the

Among the most important discov-

Temptation Windows.

In small Indiana. town the Metho-
dist church has stained glass windows
on the bottom panels of which are
printed verses of Scripture. One that
x-year-old Willie has been able to
decipher, and from the effort remem-
bers well, goes: Sand lead us not
into temptation"
Not long after, his mother took him
to visit an old friend who had built
an expensive new horpe. Now, in the
hall there we're two high windows
and both of them were made OF
orange-colored glass. When they en-
tered that room Willie stared and
stared but said nothing. But that
night when he told his father all about
the new house he remembered the
orange windows and said: "And oh,
dad, they're awfully religious. They've
got those windows that keep out temp
tation."
