EQUALITY FOR MEN
"It may bo that the democratic j
[.arty is dreaming when it talks of
justice to the consumer anil mercy to
the poor. Aye. it may be that the
fight is a lifelong one for democracy
and for me. and we may be hopeless.
Emmet asked that his epitaph be wrlti
ten after Ireland was free. Hamilcai
took his two sons and swore them on |
the altar forever to fight the arnbi-j
lions of Rome. Ireland will be free
some day. America will be relieved
from the throttling grasp of greed
some day. My countrymen, as I look
upon thoee people who were shelter
less in the great city of New York I
thought of the dreams which men
have dreamed ? ofBunyanwho dream
td in colors of the sunset of Christian
and Faithful: of Rousseau, who dream
ed of equality; of Jefferson who had
dreatus of a republic of equal rights
tc all and special privileges to none ?
but it seemed to me dark, dark and
hard to hope for equality be
tween men until they found it in the
grave. I looked again ou those chill
ed and restless sle.eping and some
times feebly groaning ghostlike forms
and thought of Browning's lines:
Cod in his heaven: all's well with
the world.
But it seemed to me as 1 looked,
all if not well with the world. We
will dream still of a better world and.
as God would have us. we will work
to destroy the dragon of all-conquer
ing greed and still keep up the strug
gle for equality among men and e
ijual rights to all mankind." ? Speech
made by Congressman Hardy of Tex
as in the House of Representatives.
However beautiful the cloak grant
ed to you by the King may be. your
own coarse dress is better, and how
ever delicious the food of the rich
may be. a piece of bread from your
own table is better. ? Sadi.
What section of the Tinted States
could boast of two more beautiful
days than Saturday and Sunday? And
yet the prevailing impression in the
states is that Alaska is a bleak and
barren waste.
There was a rural atmosphere a
bout Moor"'s wharf Saturday. Six
hundred sheep, three hundred cattle,
and about five hundred chickens ar
rived on boats during the day.
A New Yorker enlisted in the navy
seven times and deserted each time.
He has been sentenced to ten years
in prison thereby getting his Just de
?< rts at last.
My days are swifter than a weav
er's shuttle and are spent without
hope. ? Job. Chapter 7 ? 6.
There were three murders In Seat
tle last Friday. And some people
say Friday isn't unlucky.
Home rule for Alaska.
ATTAINMENT.
WE sigh for things we scarce hope
to gain
And which. If all our own. would
give no peace.
We vainly toll and struggle to
release
To knowledge nature's aecrets. We com
plain
That 'tis not given us to break some
chain.
To scale some peak, to win some golden
fleece.
To do some mighty deed whose light shall
cetuie
Only when moons no longer wax and
wane.
'Tla thus we empty all the spring* of life
To lone the blessing at our very hand.
For faith and love, with glory as Of sun.
Illume the path of peace through every
strife.
No work la futile that la nobly planned.
No deed la little If but greatly dona.
