Speaking of friendship, did vou i
ever really realize the difference j
between a sorrowing friend and j
the person who produced the j
"'scjuedonk" in an emergency?
It has been rumored on the i
streets this week that Judge!
Harper rendered a decision last
Monday. "Where have vou
been for the last three years,
vou haven't hearn folks tell."

Contentment may be a virtue,
b.it experience has taught the
writer that too much of this
commodity is not the most de-
sirable thing to have around.
The other fellow might need
something to help along his
contentment.
Tin Labor Signal, with oth-
ers, doffs its sombrero to Will
R. Walter, the grand marshal,
on labor day, He left nothing
undone to make the day a suc-
cess, and his efforts in every di-
rection will redound to his pop-
ularity among the laboring
class, "of whom he is which."
The fight between the typo-
graphical union and an alleged
organization of employers is
destined to be short lived. This
is not singular, fiom the fact
that the printers are there with
the required goods and the
"tired-thete" are quibbling over
doing the right thing. That's
however.
The A. F. L. Platform.
1. Compulsory education.
2. Direct legislation through the
initiative and referendum.
3. A legal work day of not more
than eight hours.
4. Sanitary inspection of work
shop, mine and home.
5. Liability of employers for in-
ut'y to health, body and life.
6. The abolishment of the contract
system on all public work.
7. The abolishment of the sweat-
shop system.
8 The municipal ownership of
street cars, water works and gas and
electric light plants for public distri-
bution of light, heat and power.
9. The nationalisation of telegraph,
telephone, railroads and mines.
10. The abolition of the monopoly
system of land holding, and substitu-
ting therefor a title of occupancy and
use only.
11. Repeal all conspiracy and penal
laws affecting seamen and other
workmen incorporated in the federa
laws of the United States.
12. The abolition of the monopoly
privilege of issuing money and sub-
stituting therefor a system of direct
iisusance of and by th2 people.
The fight is on between Shelby
Smith and the I. T. U. officers.
Both sides are claiming first
blood, but Smith apparently has
some one sparring for wind. It
is the hope of the writer that
the proverbial dove of peace may
find a congenial limb in Wash-
ington, Philadelphia or Indian-
apolis. Raise the window, ven-
tilate and do the "square man"
act, and let's see who has blun-
dered.
The Oklahoma Shoe Company
received a consignment of iiOOO
pairs of union shoes this week.
Remember this; and if in need of
shoes go there and get the goods
beari.ig the label. In fact, buy
nothing in the future but union
made goods of every description.
Demand the label every time you
buy anything.
Patronize home industry bv
using home products.
Patronize the union clerks-
those who carrv the card.
