Why We Like (lie Labor Press.
The methods of the labor press may
be sometimes crude and Its grammar
occasionally bad, but wo like It—
Because Its eflorts are not Influenced
by fear of offending the capitalistic
ringmaster and the political or official
boss—
Because of its breexy scorn of vener-
able errpr and its child-like faith in
the future—
Because it represents the real
thoughts and feelings of real citizens
o flesh and blood—
Because It has led the van against
child labor—
Because It manufactures no excuses
for conventional wrong-doing—
Hecause, In making its plea for
th< who need help, It has no time to
apologize for the lingering barbarisms
of the past—
Because it inspires the weary toller
vith hope and furnishes the prayerful
citizen something to pra>« about—
Peeause its editors have not acquir-
ed the art of writing all around a
subject without touching the core—
Reenuse they have not been rounded
off and sandpapered and polished, ac-
cording to the same ancient partem—

If you want to evade the Divine com
maud, "Earn thy bread by the sweat
of thy brow," you will have to look
to some sort of a grafting scheme and
not to the Farmer's Educational and
Co-Operative Union.
If you think that the farm is a good
place for the boys to remain. It would
be well for you to see that it is attrac-
tive to them. The easiest way to do
this is for you to give them an interest
in It—a financial interest. Of course,
no worse thing was ever done for a
boy than for the parents to pay him
for the work ti.at he ought to do to
help support the family and pay for
his raising. There should be some
other sort of way for the boy to make
some money of his own, and you
should see to it that he does make
some money and use it in such a way
that it will grow all the time. It is
Union Debating club a-going.
The most lamentable lack of com-
mon sense seen In some communities
is that shown in the division into a.
number of weak little schools of a
community that should have ono
strong, broad school. All over this
country the little schools are uniting,,
building a few large, well-equipped
houses, grading and classifying the
students and giving a curriculum
hrsad enough to be of real practical!
benefit. Good roads are one of the
important factors in this matter, as
indeed they are in all real progress
among rural communities. Take these
matters up In your Union, and get to-
gether.
It Is only a few years since the rail-
ways learned that cutting rates would
not create business. The time has1
been when a person could go from
the growing of things that makes life ( 'ncinnati to St. Louis for nothing,:
worth living. This is one of the things
that the Union should help every
farming father to do. The Union
should stand for the uplift and the
magnifying of the calling of the farm-
ers.

paper, to another man, by express, for
