tie is by no means a prophet,
but. reverently, be it said, he is
a voleo in the wilderness pre
paring the way. He Is by no
means n priest. . but his words
carry wider and further than
the priest's, and he preaches
the gospel of humanity. He is
not a king, but he nurtures and
trains the king, and the land is
ruled by the public opinion he
evokes and shapes. If you
value this good land the Lord
has given us. If you would have
a soul In this marvellous civili
zation and a lifting power for
humanity, look well to the nur

LABOR DA i .
The first celebration of Labor Day.
was hehl In New York City on Sep
tember 5, 1S82. under the auspices of
the Knights of Labor.
It was not a general holiday at
that time, but the workingmen of the
city arranged a parade with exercises
on Union Square.
It was strictly a trades union af
fair, and none of its present wide
significance was visible in the cele
bration. It was confined tu organiz
ed trades, exclusively, and was local
in its nature.
Gradually the agitation of the
Knights of Labor for a general holi
day, resulted in the designation of a
.special day as a legal holiday, in the
states having large labor centers.
The first Monday in September has
been chosen by the different states
as Labor Day. except California,
which has fixed the first Monday In
'October, and Louisiana, which named
November 25.
The tendency to make it a special
trade and organized labor day is
gradually merging into a broad and
liberal application, which includes
every branch of industry in Its
meaning. It is coming to be a day
of rest and celebration In farming
communities, and all callings where
men or women are engaged in manu
al or mental labor. It Is truly and
surely gaining a place In the indus
trial world, which means the recog--nillon
of the royally of labor It
means that there Is a tendency tu
exalt the laboring man to that posi
tion in the affairs of the world, lo
which his importance entitles him.
That a day Is to be set aside for his
especial pleasure and enjoyment,
and that the Industry f H co-ntr
will be regulated to conform iO this,
arrangement.
Each year finds a more gene--.il su .
pension of buslnes sin honor of Labor i
Day. Each year finds a more g-f- .
eral willingness among all clause l
recognize the festal features of i'.e,
occasion, and to give It a regular
place on the list of annual holidays.
There is but one way by which trie
final peaceable and Just settlement
of the labor difficulties of the CJun
try can be brought about, and i.mt 1
through just such good feeling ns
this celebration engender, .itid surf'
fraternity as this recognl'ljn of lu
bor'n prominence In the world In
duces. Let the nation Join In exalting La-
monnlnf
to that ot n broad, general and cos
mopolitan holiday. In which the en
tire Industrial and social world shall
cease for a day tholr solfish .pursuits,
to pay tribute to the forces that un
derlie all prosperity and all national
happiness.
It Is not a day of trades unionism,
exclusively but It should be a day
of thanksgiving and celebration
among nil classes of people, and in
all kinds of business. It should be
cultivated and encouraged, and made
one of the festivals of the American
nation, on which the differences. If
any exist, may be forgotten.
IS CAPITAL AFRAID?
James J. Hill, In a recent speech at
a capitalists' banquet, gave utter
ance to a sentiment which would
lend thinking people to believe that
he feared for the safety of his giant
monopolies of trade and transporta
tion. '
Hobson has preached a large navy
and now Jim Hill springs n large
standing army on the American peo
ple. Is capital afraid of the future?
Why is it necessary for tho people to
hear the expense of a large army,
and It in idleness? Would It not
bo better to reduce the present army
and strengthen Industrial peace by
broader laws and more privileges to
the masses?
Under Mr. Hill's argument!; for a
large army may be seen tne creed of
the monopolist, who expects to have
need of protection In his exploitation
of the people's rights.
-Mr. Hill said:
"I am not overrating the demand
when I say that It Is imperative that
the United States maintain the nu
cleus always and the organization
and the officers for an army of 200.
000 men. With our varied Ineere3ts.
with our expanding commerce, and
with our crowning and ever-Increasing
power, this strength is not more
than sufficient for bur u3es in times
of stress and danger. However that
may be. I am tuorougniy convinceo
that the United States should main
tain at all times an army of 100,000.
"The people of the United States
are the government, their own words
dictate. But they are a people of
peace, and there is no way so sure
to maintain and promote peace as
to be prepared to fight for it. We
must have peace for our industrial
and commercial growth, and peace
we will have If we have to fight for
it. Therefore I say that 100.000 men
should be always at hand to tnke
the field, with the knowledge always
that 200,000 men can be at once
brought forward should the need
arise."
Mrs. missel Sage says the Increas
ing number of divorces and family
trouble Is due to the decrease of the
lirimemaklnir snirlt In American so
ciety. There are too many boarding
house families, and too few children.
Too many couples that never know
tho comforts of a home of their own.
who have no home responsibilities,
and who stand ready to separate on
the slightest provocation, on account
of the lack of responsibility. She
says America rivals France In 'he
tendency to suppress the bome-loving
snirlt among the people. She says
the American race is fastly approach
Ine that stage In which a premium
will be given on babies, as is now
ilnnu In some of the provinces of
France.

LABOR DAY SONG.
Flag of our Union, so proudly un
furled, Flont Labor's greeting to all the wide
world;
From overj' nation the busy ones
come
Thrilling the air with trumpet and
drum.
Raising Toil's standard aloft in the
sky;
Men, brave and loyal, by thousands
arc found
Marching in triumph on Freedom's
fair ground,
Lenders of Labor whom gold cannot
buy.
Hush for a moment the hum of the
mill.
Lot the great hammer be Idle and
still;
Stop the great reaper on the hlllslle
and plain
While the nir trembles wtlh music's
wild strain.
Let every llst'ner the clear call obey:
This Is the time when with one
heart and voice
Men of all races clasp hands and Te-

Builders of nations, not dreamer,
are they.

Clearly have nations their duty

Lessons are taught that can ne'er be

Justice Is holding a guerdon for you.
Justice eternal! thy searchlight so

Quenchless, and deathless must find

Sweep from our country the crimes

Cleanse from our banner the ma 's

Take slavery's fetter from chill'" "d's

Shatter In fragments the throne of

Give to the toilers a free, happy land.
