MITCHELL QUITS IN APRIL.
United Mine Workers Soon to Elect a
Successor.
The members of the United Mine
Workers' organization will hold their
annual election the second week in
December and ballots have been sent
out from the national headquarters n
Indianapolis to the different local
urions.
The official list of nominations has
been made public at the headquar
ters of the miners. Nominations
were made by the locals, each of the
men who have been voted for having
received five or more votes from each
union. There are but two candidates
vho hope to succeed President John
Mitchell, who will retire next April.
These candidates are ; Thomas L.
Lewis, vice president of the organiza
tion, and W. B. Wilson, who has for
stveral years held the office of sec-
Upon These Two the Foundations of
. Civilized Society Rest. -
The two citizens - whose' welfare is
jr. the aggregate most vital to the wel
fare of the nation, and .therefore to
the welfare of all other citizens, are
the wage-worker who ' does manual
labor and the tiller of the soil, the
farmer. There are, of course, kinds
of labor where the work must be
purely mental, . and there are other
kinds of labor where, under existing
conditions, very little demand indeed
ij made upon the mind, though I am
glad to say that the proportion of
men engaged in this kind of work to
diminishing. 1 But in any community
with the solid healthy qualities which
make up a really great nation the
bulk of the people should do work
tvhich calls for the exercise of both
body and mind. Progress cannot per
manently exist In the abandonment of
physical labor but in the development
of physical labor, so that it shall rep
resent more . and more the work of
the trained mind in the trained body.
Our school system is gravely defec
tive in so far as it; puts a premium
upon mere literary training and tends
therefore to train the boy away from
the farm and the workshop. Nothing
i-i more needed than the best type of
industrial school, the school for me
chanical industries In the city, the
school for practically teaching agri
culture in the country. The calling
of the skilled tiller of the soil, th
calling of the skilled mechanic, should
alike be recognized as professions just
emphatically as the callings of
lawyer, doctor, merchant, or clerk.
The schools should recognize . this
fact and it should equally be recog
nized in popular opinion. The young
man who has the farsightedness and
courage to recognize It and to get over
the idea that it makes a difference
whether what he earns is called salary
or wages, and who refuses to enter
the crowded field of the so-called pro
fessions, and takes to constructive In
dustry instead, is reasonably sure of
an ample reward in earnings, in
health, in opportunity to marry early.
i and to establish a home with a fair
amount of freedom from worry. It'.
should be one of our prime objects
to. put both the farmer and the me
chanic on a higher plane of efficiency .
and reward, so as to increase their ,.
effectiveness in the economic world,
and therefore, the dignity, the remun
eration, and the power of their posi
tions in ( the social world. From
President , Roosevelt's Message.
MY THANKSGIVING.
FOR THE JOY 6F WORK. FOR
THE CHANCE TO HIT HARD
WHEN NECESSARY. FOR ' THE
GOODNESS AND THE GRIT OF 1
THE FELLOW WHO MAY DIS
AGREE WITH ME. FOR THE" TEST
THAT SHOWS WHEREIN I MAY
GROW STRONGER. , FOR THE
THOUGHT THAT "EACH (NEW DAY
MAY BE AS THE BEGINNING OF
LIFE." FOR THE POWER AND IN
FLUENCE OF CHRIST WHOM I
SERVE. FOR THE PINAL VICTORY
WHICH I KNOW SHALL BE MINE.
REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
OWNERSHIP OF THE OX. '
A workingman who connpires to
keep his money and that of his friends
away from a certain firm is only de
priving the firm of part of its profits.
Whereas, when a body of manufac
turers get together ' to ' blacklist a
v-orkingman they conspire to deprive
him of a living and to make him a
criminal. The . manufacturer who
helps to get up a blacklist 'of work-
lugmen talks like a fool when he asks
for an injunction to prevent working
men getting up a blacklist pf manu
facturers. And the manufacturer who
unites in an association to blacklist
and boycott ; all labor unions talks
very much like a fool and cry-baby
to boot when he tries to prevent
workingmen from boycotting him.
