(By Mail) Eng land's most Abraham Lincoln-esque figure is in the limolight. From the poorhouse to membership in the King s ftlost Honorable Privy Council is but part of the record of Will Crooks, labor member of Parliament and champion of the common people. On the front doorstep of a modest little cottage in Poplar, a London sub- uro, on lew Year s day. a hirure m shirt sleeves, colored shirt sleeves at that, stood greeting proud townfolk come to congratulate him. Messenger boys brought telegrams in batches and handed them direct to the only Britisher of the "masses" admitted to the King's Inner Council and priv ileged to bear the title of Right Hon orable. Inside the cottage, wihile Crooks did the honors on the doorstep, was Mrs. Crooks, a plump, wholesome English housewofe, preparing the New Year's dinner. There are no frills or "swank" in the home of the King's privy Councillor. That is why Mrs. Crooks was in the kitchen while Will, us 'he is known both in Poplar and Parliament, was asuring his friends on the doorstep that being a Right Honorable made him feel no different. "There's one thinar I want to sav." he told them all. "Because the King has deemed fit to call me. his right trusty and well beloved or whatever the phrase is, I m not going to be come a party man. I'll be right with the workers. Tell them that the posi tion gives me more power to work for them and with them. I live with them 1 and hope to die with them." When the voters elected Crooks ma yor of Poplar in 1901 he made a re cord that pleased the folk who had elected him over a more aristocra tic opponent. He wore the tradition al robes of office because'Mrs. Crooks told him to and not because he want ed to. That is also why he's going to wear the eluborate court dress that is incumbent on privy councillor. "If they say Will's got to wear court togs, he's got to that's all there is to it." Enid Mrs. Crooks. "Leave it to me. I'll see that he gets them. It was the same when he became Mayor of Poplar. He wasn't going to wear the robes, but I made Mm." When the workers of Poplar re viewed Crooks' record as Mayor in 1901, they immediately began to boost him for Parliament in the W00lw'cn ! district of which Poplar is part. He i went to Commons with an overwhelm- i ing majority and he's still there. , Fighting the battles of the common : folks, the appearance of this medium ! sized lubor M. P. with his flashing 1 blue eyes and iron grey beard on the door of the House1 of Commons, has long since, 1!)03, ceased to be a joke. Much credit tor the strength or labor in England today goes to the "ordin ary pauper boy" who dared to call a spade while surrounded by his upper class colleagues. The story of Garfield's hovhood days on the towpath; Lincoln's rail splitting mid grocery clerk life of Ben franklins last penny for a bun in Philadelphia, do not outdo the boy hood vicissitudes of King George's new Privy Councillor. When he was onlv six an accident to his father threw the support of himself and his six brothers and sis ters upon his mother. I remember how she used to crv because she didn't know where tlhe next meal was coming from," said Crooks today. WJien Will was nine, a neighbor who kept a shop in Poplar offered him twelve cents a week to de liver milk and he took tho job. Then his mother's health failed and because the sixpence a week wouldn't keep the family, they all went to the poorhouse tor a time. Will's next job was in a grocery store at fifty cents a week. At eleven he graduated to the job of blowing bellows of a forge at a dollar and a half a week which augumcnted by earnings of his elder brothers, barely held the family together. At 14 he was apprenticed to a firm of coopers where he earned about sixty cents a week while he was learning the trade. Crooks grew up a cooper. It was in this trade that he became intensely interested in labor problems, experi enoing all the hardships of strikes and lockouts and at times being forced to tramp about London in search of other work until the disputes were settled. Despite it all he married and reared a family of two sons and four daughters. He first held office as n member of the London County Coun cil in 1892. He has held office ever since. Today Crool4$ is looking forward with no very pleasant anticipation to the time, soon, when he'll be forced to appear in court dress of silk, knee breeches with lace ruffles. But he'll do it because Mother Crooks has said: "If Will must, he must and that's all there is to it. Leave it to me. I'll see that he gets them." Our Want Ads bring results. 'One Spoonful Enough" Says Drug in. C. D. Putman states that the sim ple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka, is causing great surprise because just one spoonful relieves constipation, sour or gassy stomach almost im mediately. It is so thorough a bowel cleanser that it is used successfully in appendicitis. Adler-i-kn acts on both lower and upper bowel and the instant efTect is astonishing. It lev er gripes end is perfectly safe to use. XAsYourself j A STEADY purpose in this life is one of the best aids to success.
