FEW REALLY LOVE PESSlMIST
Truth In Statement That Man With
Morning Smile Is Worth His
Entire Tribe

There were optimists In King Tut
Ankh-Amens time who met the far-off
mornings with a smile.
And from all accounts Of statue
they found In the kings tomb the art
list caught the inspiration of the smile
and preserved 1t for the long after
centuries.
In one sense, 1t was the same world
then that it is today. They had their
joys and sorrows, and smiles and tears
contended for the mastery.
There were pessimists then, as now,
who saw no good and gracious things
in life; who Knocked the smiling ones
and went frowning to their tombs;
who, not having heard Of the Coue
method, probably answered CHEEKY
morning salutation with DAY by day,
in every way, we're getting worse and
worse" and who, when golden Oppor-
tunity knocked at their sad doors,
opened them not, for fear Trouble
might walk in and take the best chair
at their gloomy firesides.

their troubles!

purposes which are made known an
nually. Aside from the purposes al
ready shown, moneys are expended
for such routine work as the purchase
of supplies, publishing pamphlets,
publishing the American Federation
of Labor Weekly News Service, ex-
penses of the yearly convention, trav-
cling expenses of officers and organ
izers, expenses of the executive coun-
Gil in attending quarterly meetings,
expenses of fraternal delegates to
other conventions and for publicity
work, information gathering, re-
search, educational and statistical
work
One phase of labor's work remains
its political activity. The American
Federation of Labor national nom
partisan political campaign commit
tee, authorized by the convention,
raises money by appeal for voluntary
contributions. These, in the cam
paign of 1922, amounted to about
$5 900
The conventions of the American
Federation of Labor exercise final
and supreme authority in all matters
including the raising and expending
of moneys. A. F. of l.. conventions
offer the freest forum in the world.
No other organizations, no matter
where located, offer such complete
freedom of expression or operate on
lines so thoroughly democratic. Any
delegate may offer any proposal or
any resolution All proposals and res
olutions so offered are referred to ap-
propriate committees which are re-
quired to report thereon to the con-
vention When report is made to the
convention all delegates have equal
opportunity for discussion. There
can be no burial of resolutions in
committee and every point of view is
entitled to and receives opportunity
for expression.
The American Federation of Labor,
it will be seen, has no enormous
funds, its financial operations are
more than moderate and its records
are public
1t has been a source of wonderment
to many that so much is achieved on
an income so slight.

JUDITH

JUDITH Is sometimes confused with

ending but this is an erroneous con-
tention. 1t really had It's origin In
the difficult northern name of Gyda or
Gytha, which, because 1t sounds like
9th, the contraction of Eadgyth, is
believed to have some connection. But
Judith is purely northern, having be-
longed to the proud damsel of Horda-
land, who refused to marry Harald
Harfagre unless he was sole king of
all Norway. Later, it was given to
the semi-Danish ladies of Earl God

 1. Overture to "Egmont," Op.

The subject of the play was the revolt of the Netherlands against Spanish tyranny Count Egmont was one of the heroes of the Dutch re- bellion, and was put to death. The glory of the drama is the de1ineation of the heroine, C1archen, beloved by Egnnont and embodying the spirit of her people.
 "The overture" says pr. Leopold Damrosch, begins with an outcry- cry for help--uttered by an entire nation. Then follow heavy, deter mined chords. which seem to press down the very life of the people, who seem helplessly to yield to their fate.

His mo- tive is as if bound in chains by the reputation of comber chords. In deep melancholy the violins repeat the motive, seeming to languish more and more. But with sudden impulse it revives. Egmont shakes off the gloom that surrounds him; his pulse beats quickly and gladly. on every side his fellow citizens call to him for aid They flock together, and in excited bands surround him. their only champion and del1verer.
