Printers Pay Tribute to Their Dead

and which emphasises vita an elo
quence greater than words can por
tray, the truthfulness of the test that
brotherhood Is a pledge of Ininiortnl
ity for "We know that we have passed
out of death into life, because we
love the brethren."
"We shall go out to the green hill
today and tomorrow and yet another
day to gently lay the flowers of per
fumed sweetness and drop tears born
of love upon the graves of our dead,!
but we shall return with gentler ani
holier thoughts of home, kindlier
thoughts of friends and a broader
sympathy and charity for all who live.
"Clothed with the grace of love for
our fellows our lives shall become a
benediction to earth; the passions that
make for strife shall become subdued
and more and more will be ushered
in the day of universal peace, and the
crowning day of all the day when all
men are brothers.
"The crest and crowning of all good.
Life's final star in Brotherhood;
For it will bring again to earth
Her long-lost Poesy and Mirth;
Will send new light on every face,
A kindly power upon the race.
And till it comes we men are
slaves
And travel downward to the dust of
graves.
Come, clear the way, then clear the
way;
Blind creeds and kings have had
their day.
Break the dead branches from the
path;
Our hope is in the aftermath
Our hope is in heroic men.
Star-led to build the world again.
To this event the ages ran
Make way for Brotherhood, .make

In the afternoon the members gath

Benediction Rev. H. II. Harmon.
There are but two members buried
In the union's plot, so the decorative
part of the program consisted In a
roll call of deceased members buried
in Wyuka. and as each name was
called a" boquet' of flowers' was laid
In s. central spot In the plot in re
membrance of that individual. Ten
such boquets were placed.
Not all of the tea deceased members
whose names were called are buried
In Wyuka. But each year the names
are called, and with the calling of
each name a handsome boquet is
placed on the lot. C. K- Alexander
and Elmer English are buried on the
Printers Lot, which is kept with care.
The letters ' I. T. V." outlined in
foliage and flowers, attracts atten
tion from every passerby. In addi

of the union have passed away: Miss
Libble Hoge, Mr. Schumacker, Mr.

death.
Mr. Traphagen. Address.
Mr. Traphagen's address was as fol
lows:
"It was with some hesitation that I
acceded to the request of your com
mittee to speak to you this afternoon
and the final acceptance ot your in
vitation was actuated by a desire to
show my apredation ot the privilege,
as well as the performance of what
to my sense seemed a duty to the
craft. It your choice was determined
on the theory that the speaker pos
sessed any oratorical ability you are
doomed to disappointment, because
the speaker has full knowledge that
there are many things that he can
do much better than he can talk.
we are met here today, not as
antagonists clamoring for a division
ot the spoil ot productions, but in
recognition ot our common level and
the great fact that all men are breth
ren for which we han bo less an au
thority than the lowly Nasarene, who
proclaimed; "All ye are brethren. And
call no man your father upon the
earth, tor one Is your Father,
which is in heaven. So it is
for us to know that we are children
of one father, God; hence are broth
ers and our love and conduct toward
each other should be impartial.
"In retrospection ot the years past
1 recall among those resting in this
silent city and consecrating its ground
come who were employes ot the in
stitution with which 1 am connected
and who represented the type ot
men upon whom you could depend,
whose minds and intellect had at
tained their maturity and who were
capable of distinguishing the right and
manly enough to follow its dictates.
"Without any attempt to dignify that
which is to be said here as an ad
dress, it is the intention of the speak
er to confine his remarks to such
channels as might entitle them to be
given consideration under a title of
'Right Thinking and Right Living. In
the teachings of Solomon, the great
philosopher of a time more than
ten centuries before the appearing of
Jesus the Christ, we find recorded In
the Great Book, which for genera
tion after generation has stood as an
inspiration in the struggle for the
progress of humankind and as a bea
con light for our guidance ever beck
oning us on to a higher and better
standard of life this Truth: 'For as
a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Proverbs, 23-17.
Are Synonymous.
"It will undoubtedly be agreed that
right thinking and right living are
synonymous, as unquestionably the
one produces the other, and the com-
biued result that which all humankind
is earnestly seeking; comfort, con
tentment and happiness. To success
fully and actively think right requires
an ideal for our life and an honest at
tempt to live np to that ideal, and
this can only be accomplished through
sincerity of purpose.
"Every person reflects their right
thinking for through it conies com
fort and Joy, peace and harmony,
health and happiness, and with this
right thinking we are sure to find that
we have produced right living and as
a further result that all our stand
ards of conduct are raised to a higher
level. Every person whose constant
endeavor is to think right and live
right and be governed thereby will
be found to be a safe person with
whom to deal. We should always be
mentally active in the directing of
our thoughts, for by this activity and
watchfulness, we produce the right
thought and ideas which constitute
true manhood.
"Every right thinker will be found
an influence for advancement, in one
or another ot the walks of life in the
community in which they reside and
this influence is sure to be found ex
erting itself for the bringing about of
conditions for the progress of human
kind and in this land of ' ours is a
right of the most humble member of
the social body.
Right Thinking the Need.
Right thinking is the supreme
need of humanity today, for through
it, thoughts of envy, hate, malice, and
lust are replaced with thoughts of
love and truth and purity, leading to
great and magnificent result in the
regeneration of mankind by the elimin
ation of all evil from our conscious
ness. It is the duty of each of ns
by our right living to hasten the
dawning of that day. The acquisi
tion ot the habit of right thinking
pays daily dividends through the es
tablishment of proper thoughts for the
beginning and ending of each day.
Everyone ought to know and every
one can know the rules ot conduct
best suited to their individual needs
and all will agree that to begin the
day aright is a long step toward liv
ing the day aright; that to end the
day aright is still another step to
ward beginning the next day aright;
and that to begin and end each day
aright we must shut out from our
consciousness all vicious, resentful,
unkind, and impure thoughts and in
vite and encourage all pure, good.
kind and loving thoughts and to for
get so far as we can all our fears,
worries, resentments and annoyances
and assiduously and diligently culti
vate cheerfulness and kindness and
faith and hope and charity.
'Faith Is our power to do good and
exert a beneficial influence upon our
fellow men. Faith in our fellow men
and in human nature, confidence ' in
the honesty of men's purposes and in
tentions and in man's capacity for
improvement. Faith in God; that
He is infinitely wise and good and
merciful and loving, that he is not
a tyrant-but a father. Hope in the
continued advancement toward perfec
tion of the human race, that shall
make of all men one family and one
household. Hope that man shall
finally see and understand the per
fect symmetry, proportion and har
mony of all the works ot God. Char
ity which relieves the distresses of
our brethren with a liberal hand,
which feeds the hungry, clothes the
naked, protects the widow, supports
and educates the orphan. Charity for
the faults and injustices of our breth

on the acts of others that we pass
upon our own, believing that they are
better than they seem and that chari

that only which we should feel
right and merciful for them to do un
to us. Charity in its highest and
noblest sense of affection and love

There can be no differentiation be
tween the man who may be the lead
er ot the intellctual aristocracy and
the humble representative of an un
schooled multitude; each is a mem
ber of the social body and as such
is entitled to participate in its de
liberations as to the rights of man
and the duty man owes to society,
each aiding in the establishing upon
earth the reign of liberty, peace, har

the making of society " harmonious

That in God's eternal mind we live
And in His life we move.
In brightest light divine we rest
The light of infinite love.
Where God is all and governs all
An power and presence He,
All science, wisdom, health and
strength.
No other truth can be.
Mr. Locker's Address.
G. B. Locker spoke as follows:
"One of the signs of the making
of the world better is this setting
apart of a day by labor unions for a
service in memory of their dead.
These organizations, formed princi
pally and primarily to work for the
living may they not gain more of the
form of the divine by anon pausing
to take thought of those who, having
finished their tasks, have gone on?
W are moving, whether or not we
will, to that day when we join them,
It is at hand. We
look down from a height upon the
world. We see a procession moving
its way. They enter the 'city of the
dead. They turn the lid of the
casket, and we see that face therein
sleep. . The features appear like a
proof. Fulled by the angel of the res
urrection, of our life work, ready for
the pencil of the Great Proofreader.
There are the errors and the good
works where we misjudged
and where we had charity. How we
would like to have had a few days
warning of death. We would have
better composed those features . for
the gaze of these people. How we
now long for voices to explain some of
the lines of that face the acts of
that life. But the clods are falling
the proof is being folded with the
copy for the Reader. It is
so easy to realize that others do not
understand our motives nor appre
ciate the difficulties which we en
counter and so hard to realize that
we do not understand nor appreciate
others.
Life is the Time. -
"While we live is the time for good
deeds. The day of life is " the time
for work. The night comes on apace.
There is one hour for one deed, and
yet another hour for another. Xow
is come the time to lay a flower on
the grave of the departed; to think of
the time when we shall but number
units in the many who have lived and
died.
The work of laborers organ! za:
tions is a work for humanity. Since
it is only in the sweat of the brow
that mankind may eat, some means
of lessening the strife for provender
which is seen in all nature must be
had if we are to rise above the
brute.
"I desire to pause here long enough
to repeat as nearly as I can a thought
expressed by the pastor in his ad
dress this morning. The victory of
the hosts of humanity over the hosts
of greed shall be heralded, by the car
roling of prattling voices of child
hood, so long hushed by commercial
ism. - "The change in the form of that
strife from brute force to intellectual
force is only a part of the journey.
Brotherhood will go further. We of
the trade unions hope for a day when
even these organisations will have
served their purpose and a universal
brotherhood will have undone the
need of them; for they are but a
means to an end a human means, to
fit a very human need.
Through Many Centuries.
"Near two thousand years jot the
Christian era passed ere Christendom
thought to give to the soldiers of
toil their need of praise. Not until
the morning of the twentieth cen
tury did these plaudits attain suffi
cient force to come to the attention of
the world engaged in singing hozannas
to the soldiers of destruction. He
who goes forth to battle with the ele
ments and wring from them day by
day food and rainment, and housing,
and comfort and enlightenment for
the race, goes not enthused by the
blare of trumpets and the shouts of
the populace. It is hard to die even
for a loved principle, bnt is it not
harder to live for a principle, and
sacrifice for it little by little, un
noticed and unappreciated.
"And to be whole in following ont
their work for humanity, unions must
look upon all humanity and its ways.
The common lot of man is to die, and
this day, when all nature Is atnne
with the resurrection, it is meet that
we congregate to leave mementos on
this spot where rest all that is earth
ly of those spirits, who, having labored
here awhile, have now gone on to
the God who gave them."
