Matters of Especial Interest To and Con-
cerning Those Who Do the
Work of the World

■workman is exposed to a very high
accident liability is shown by the
statement made by the federal depart-
ment of commerce and labor. "Census
reports covering the years 1900 to
1906," pays the report, show that out
of over 1,000,000 deaths of males, more
than nine per cent, were due to acci-
dent. A large proportion of these
deaths are due to causes more or less
related to the occupations of the in-
jured persons." The bulletin is the
work of Frederic L. Hoffman of the
department, and in it is shown that
vearly between SO,000 and M,000
workmen lose their lives by accident.

Washington—The extraordinary
prosperity of the farmers following
their low financial condition a dozen

Chicago.—A strike which threatens
to tie up the shoe factory of Selz,
hwab & Co., Superior and Kings-
bury streets, developed as the result
of the discharge of a last machine
operator. Ten lasters walked out in
sympathy with the discharged man
and each day since then the number
of the strikers has augmented until
practically the entire lasting depart-
ment of the factory is tied up. The
like was called by the Industrial
Workers of the World, an "Industrial"
pion organized in opposition to the
American Federation of Labor.
Chicago.—A strike to enforce the
eight-hour day went into effect at the
Fifty-first street car shops of the

base a proposed law to protect the
funds of American unions.
Akron, O.—The trial of John Giffln,
former union labor employe of the
Werner Printing Company, began on
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree. The American Federation of La-

contributions amounting to thousands
of dollars have been received to pay
his attorneys. He is charged with
shooting John Mahoney. a guard at the
Werner works, during labor troubles
last September.
San Francisco. Cal.—In accordance
with the agreement entered into be-
tween the California Metal Trades as-
sociation and the Iron Trades council
of San Francisco, in June of last year,
the workday in the various iron indus-
tries has been shortened one-quarter
of an hour. Semi-annual reductions
henceforth of one-quarter of an hour
are to be made eventually to reach
the eight-hour day.
Indianapolis.—Printing pressmen of
the country, according to a statement
received here, spent $900,000 during

test will be continued indefinitely.

of an alleged inferior grade of powder
furnished by operators over the pro-
test of the miners.
London, England.—England is face
to face with the most serious condi-
tion of unemployment in her history,
and unless relief is provided on an un-
precedented scale during the winter,
bread riots may be expected in many
of the principal cities.

The Kicker and the Other Fellow.
Would you rather be a kicker or a
cur, is the way a sensible man puts
it. The question is worth thinking
about. The kicker is the man who
speaks out in meetings, and does not
hold his tongue when he sees things
going wrong. He calls things by their
right name, a spade, he calls a spade,
a hoe, a hoe. Sometimes bis unpol-
ished sentences seem harsh, but they
are brought with meaning. The cur
is the other fellow, the fellow who
keeps quiet because he don't want to
make trouble; who stands route when
wrong is done because he doesn't want
to hurt the feelings of the wrong-
doers. He don't kick even when he is
kicked himself. There are no illus-
trious personages on the side of the
cur; but a long list of famous names
lined up with the kicker.
The first famous kicker I mention
is that of the prophet Jonah. When
swallowed by the whale I Imagine
Jonah set up a terrible kicking. He
kicked the whale's digestive apparatus
out of fix; so that the gastric juice
failed to perform its proper functions.
After three days and three nights of
awful stomach trouble, the great fish
decided he had made a bad job of
swallowing such a kicker so he dis-
gorged hini upon the shore. This fa-
mous kicker went immediately to the
city of Ninevah and told those wicked
sinners of their awful doom. John
the Baptist was another famous kick-
er, and by his boldness In denouncing
wrong he lost his head. The prophet
Daniel was a kicker in his day, and
it landed him in the den of lions. Time
would fail us to mention the Hebrew
children, the prophet Nathan, the apos-
tle Paul, who formed the long line
of Bible worthies, that made up the
potential forces in overcoming the
wrong and establishing the right upon
the earth. As we come on down the
corridors of time we hear the voice
of John Hurt, Martin Luther, Me-
lanchton and others who kicked
against the tyrannical powers that en-
slaved the human mind, and sought,
to keep humanity in midnight dark-
ness. We also find some famous kick-
ers on this side of the pond. George
Washington was a famous kicker. Pat-
rick Henry kicked loud when he said
•give me liberty or give me death."
No cur was ever brave enough to say
this. The men who made a teakettle
out of the Atlantic ocean were kickers
of the right stripe. Our revolutionary
fathers kicked against the stupendous
wrongs sought to be perpetrated upon
our country by a tyrannical power.
| and children that wield the hoe and '
! pick the cotton. Now there are two !
j million kickers lined up against these i
! wrongs and they are still lining up.
The wheat men are lining up and then ;
I there will come a mighty kick from
j the North and West. In five years .
more of honest, earnest kicking and j
this gigantic evil will be laid out by .
the side of the Louisiana lottery and
I the whiskey traffic. Then some of the
I curs will prick up their small ears,
I throw their hats Into the air and
shout, boys we licked 'em at last. So
you see the kicker is a potential force;
the cur is a supine, inert, passive
drag. Now let every farmer ask him-
self the question which am 1. a kicker

The Farmers' Union.
When we see a lot of men working
patiently and In a large measure un-
selfishly for other men we feel ltko
taking off our hat to them, and then
when we see a lot of other men, men
almost absolutely ignorant of the
plans, purposes and achievements of
those unselfish tollers for others snarl-
ing, snubbing nnd criticizing them. It
makes us feel like throwing a whole
hod full of brickbats at the snarling
critics. These few observations are
Intended to apply to the Farmers' Un
ion and its ignorant critics.
The men who constitute the Farm-
ers' Union are not all Solomons; they
are not all successful farmers and
business men; but it can truthfully be
said of them that they are as wise
and as successful as their critics are.
The real purpose of the organization
is to unite the farmers for their own
protection and advancement in mate-
rial, moral and intellectual things.
Can any man oppose them in this most
praiseworthy purpose? Ought any
man oppose them In it? In fact ought
not all good men unite their efforts
to at least encourage them, and to
discourage their critics?
With more than a passing knorl-
edge of the Farmers' Union, its pur-
poses, we do not. hesitate to say that
selfishness does not enter into the
organization only as an incident.
But, say the critics of the order, It
made a mistake in fixing the minimum
price of cotton last year at 15 cents
a pound. If they did they only proved
that they are no exception to the gen-
eral rule, that the most successfully
laid plans sometimes fall. But we
are not prepared to admit that was a
mistake. Had the banks of the South
come to the assistance of the Farm-
ers' Union with long loans, at reason-
able interest, with warehouse certifi-
cates for security, the chances are ten
to a hundred that cotton would have
reached and remained at 15 cents. A1
though the banks did not do this,
nnd although the cotton crop did not
bring 15 cents, yet we are not pre
pared to admit that anyone lost a dol

and the home of the brave." But the djd ge]1. wh„e (hose who dld not gen
hydra headed monster of tyranny
comes upon us in a different, form.
Every year the powerful trusts and
combines are enslaving our people.
The products of our rich soil are
eagerly sought by speculators. With
their hoarded millions, wrung from
the sweat and blood of our Soul hern
farmers, speculators toil not in the
fields, neither do they spin in the fac-
tories; yet Solomon in all his glory-
was not arrayed like these men. There
is a field wide open for the kickers.
Many of them are improving Hie op-
portunity. The curs say it is no use
to kick, it will only make matters
worse. Lamb-like they submit to be
shorne of their wealth. While some
monuments of iniquity that have been
kicked down by Illustrious kickers in
the past, lie in all their putrid ruin,
yet the curs say it is no use to kick.
The Louisiana lottery that once con-
trolled its millions of money, and was
enthroned in the hearts of wicked
gamblers, and walled about by the
laws of a great state, has been kicked
into smithereens. The whiskey traf-
fic that once stood up like an Egyp-
tian pyramids in its collosal strength
and greatness, is now rapidly being
kicked to atoms by the stern
flinching heroes of the nineteenth cen-
tury, that dare to stand up for the
rights of humanity, while the cowardly-
curs tuck their tails and say It can't
be done. The exchanges that gamble
in farm products and pose as the
great and indispensable business en-
terprises of the age are the targets
against which the honest kickers are
to direct their guns. Think of one
man making eight million dollars in
one day. Think of the gamblers and
middlemen making I100 million dollars
and more from each cotton crop. Think
of the New York exchange selling 10U
million bales of cotton in one year,
the world's production is only 18 mil-
lion bales. Think of the few men
who don't plow getting more clear
money from the crop than the man
who puts his sweat and blood into
it. Think of the Southern women
realized as much as they otherwise
would have done had it not been for
the holding agreement of the members
of the union.
Space will not permit us to go into
details, but we ean't refrain saying
that the Farmers' Union has undertak-
great work for the farmers of
the South. Their woik cannot be
fully finished in a day, nor in a year.
It may never be fully finished. Like
the Grange and the Alliance, it may
die or be killed before its great work
is finished. But were it to die to-
morrow, it, like them, has already
done so much for the farmers as to
entitle it to a place In their affections,
and to be classed as one of the great
economic factors of the agricultural
progress of the world.—Tyler Tele-
grant.
Whatever minimum price may be
set by the National Farmers' Union
is of less importance to the organiza-
tion and to the world than the deter-
mination the members set to stand by
it. By concert of action the farmers j

The argument waxed warm In
Mary 's presence, and appropriate reme-
dies were us«d, and the next day she
was better.
Coming Into her mother's room dur-
ing her play she said:
"Mamma, two of my dollies are very
sick this morning "
"Indeed, dear, 1 am very sorry. What
Is the matter with them?"

screened his first kiss.
All through the evening, far Into the Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face
night, that kiss hung as a veil between |
him and the rest of the world.
As for her, she remembered him lu
her prayers that night. Please, dear
God, bless Jack! For he was .lack to
her, Jack and only Jack, and It seemed
to her that in asking God to bless him,
she was asking for a blessing for her
entire world.
The next morning they met as old
acquaintances meet—no, as lovers
meet—and straightway they entered
Into Paradise. They were the first
two. They were the only two. The
day lengthened, the shadows grew and
with the shadows came the angel
with the (laming sword.
To the two there appeared a stran-
ger, a stranger who attracted his at-
tention from that first love of his. She
stood aloof from them for a moment,
then begged some trifling aid from
him, then led him far away, down the
beach, a long, long distance from the
overturned boat.
When he returned there was no radi-
ant Eve awaiting hint In the garden.
Had he dallied too long? Had she
grown tired of waiting? Had she
thought him faithless? The sands
about the boat were empty, desolate!
The gales ot Paradise were closed. A
gray sea-fog held all the world.
He waited while the night closed in
about him, but he saw no glimpse of
her, he heard no sound of her. In the
early morning, he sought her, first by
the overturned boat where the Garden
of Eden had so lately flourished, then
up and down all the long length of the
beach. Hut Ills search was vain.
At last he found her, though, sitting
on the sand sheltered by a circle of
those silly, whispering gossips. There
could be no speech with her under
their watching eeys, near their listen-
ing ears. She would not raise her
eyes to his, although he felt In every
quivering nerve that she knew that he
was near.
One by one the gossips drifted away.
Were they being kind to him or only
kind to love?
With downcast eyes and Angers ab-
sorbed in her work, she sat alone, too
proud lo fly from nlm.
His heart at Ills finger-tips, ready to
lay at her feet, he approached her
softly.
"Dosia." he whispered, but she did
not even raise her eyes.
"Dosia, Dosia, please!" he implored,
and still her eyelids did not quiver.
"Dosia, Dosia, won't you speak to
me? Don't you know me?"
He was prostrate at her feet, and
now she raised her eyes, her eyes that
had been blue and soft as the sky at
noon, but now were cold as steel, from
them shot the gleams that the de
mon of jealousy had stolen .from tho
angel's flaming sword.
"1? I know you? Yes, 1 know Just
who and what you are." Her voice
was ironical.
They were the only words she
spoke. Again with downcast eyes she
went on with her work. Hut he knew
that the end of all things had come
and he strode away to face a future as
long and as empty and as cold as
eternity.
After a long time, though, he, too.
fotind consolation in work, in a kind of
work that enabled him to forget even
love. He built a high sand fort with a
of the South could put cotton up to 15
cents—even higher—in less than six-
ty days, but such concert as would be
necessary to accomplish this would
have to be stronger than would be
necessary to secure a lower price.
Hence, If a lower price is set, It will
be easier to obtain. But, whatever
may be the price, let the members
that might reach even to the
stars. And her work? It was a deep,
deep tunnel under the sand. For he—
he was only five years old and she was
only six.—Tho llohemian.
