MR. WORKING MAN
A FF.W OF THE MANY REASONS FOR
JOINING A LABOR UNION
THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS I
ARE REPRINTED FROM A BOOK
ENTITLED, “AM I RIGHT OR AM!
1 WRONG.”
Because I propose to protest
against any man or set of men
stealing my right to health, home
and happiness.
Because I want plenty of good
“grub” in my craw, and 1 want
to see my fellow men enjoy tile
same blessing.
Because I am not afraid to line
tip with my fellow workers, and
make an honest demand for that
which is ours by heritage.
Because I want to see every man,
woman and child have plenty to eat,
plenty to wear, and plenty of tima
to enjoy it.
Because I am opposed to filth
and ignorance, and in favor of
health and knowledge.
Because I think more of an honest
heart under a ragged shirt than T
do of a block-headed bloat with a
hank account.
Because it union man is never
disrespected by any one except a
Jot of red-eyed rounders with more
money than kindness.
Because when I pay my dues
into the Union I realize that I
am stirring some “thickening” into
it bowl of soup for some poor, hun
gry woman or child.
Because 1 had rather i> unpopu
lar with a lot of double-chinnfrd
dough-heads than to show the white
feather to my fellow workers. ' I
I
Because I believe it is bettc r to
give than to receive, and by being
a union man I am giving my influ-1
once and money to those who de
serve and should receive it. ‘
Because I am in favor of more!
bread and less bruitishness. More
pie and less pomp. More cozy cot
•;r.gcs and less criminals. Mora
soup and less superstition. More
health and happiness and leas hell
and hellishness . More honest wom
en neatly dressed and less foolish
■women over dressed. More live, lov
ing husbands and less dirty, drunken
drones.
Because in union there is strength
and in health there is happiness;
and all sensible people want to bo
happy.

PRESIDENT WILSON’S
OPINION OF THE RUSSIAN
BOLSHEVIKI
From the New York Evening
Post of January 9th 1918.)
WOODROW WILSON frequently
does cruel things to the press, but
for down-right malice nothing sur
passes his praise of the Bolshe
viki. He wrote it with out even
consulting the editors of the
WORLD or the TIMES. The former
only the other day, declared that
the globe had never seen traitors
to humanity like Trotsky and Le
nine, who had deliberatly sold out
the Allies. With what consterna
tion must it read in the President's
address that the Bolsheviki were
“sincere, in earnest, acting very
wisely, very justy, and in the true
spirit of modern democracy.’’ Their
soul is “not subservient”; “they
will not yield in principle or right”
—this of men whom the TIMES
knows to be in German pay, daily
doing the Kaiser’s work! More
over, says the President, they spoke
with a frankness, a largeness of
view, a generousity of spirit, and
a universal human sympathy which
must challenge the admiration of
j every friend of mankind. “But not
of tile TIMES we are sure. It gave
the President fair warning, for it
was just four days ago that it as
sured him that if he or Lloyd
sured him that if he or Lloyd
George spoke out it woud have no
effect whatever on Germany.”

When a fellow feels particularly fine he usually uses the
expression: Oh! I feel lik^' “a two-year-old!”
Y’know a two-yoar-ohl is chuck full of pep, he can rear
and jump and can make the energy of Ajax look like a pink
tea dude suscumbing to a cigarette.
Akcala has all the pep that makes you throw out your
chest and say: Gee Whiz—but I fe*l like at wo -year-old.
