counts 1t privilege to have a part
in this service of remembrance of one
who so freely gave herself to her
great work.
1--WE wish to pay tribute to her
work and to her sterling character.
Her executive ability played a big
part in the intellectual development
of this community. The Years only
can reveal the results of her good
work.
Second to the school, the interests
of the community were closest to her
heart. When the Red Cross was too
big to meet in the homes she offered
her office in the school. Her passing
left great void in the life of our
community"

FIRST LABOR PAPER

The first labor paper published in
the United States was The Working
mans Advocate, says the Motorman
and Conductor in their current issue.
1t was published by the Evans Bros,
two English labor reformers; its pub
lication was commenced in 1926 in
New York. In the course of a couple
of years the Advocate gave way to the
Daily Sentinel, and this, in turn, to
the Young American, which last
printed at it's head the first American
labor platform ever formulated, which
we hereby give in full. 1t was upon
this platform that the Workingmen's
party of New York State ran the first
labor candidate ever nominated for
the office of governor in the United
States in 1890 Mr. Ezekile Williams,
who received 5000 votes.
The first labor platform was as fol-
lows:
"1st. The right of man to the
soil; vote yourself farm.
''2nd. Down with monopolies, espe-
cially the United States Bank.
"3rd. Freedom of public lands
'4th. Homesteads made inalienable.
