Elmer Walters' humorous play , "A Thoroughbred Tramp , " is to receive a production in Church's opera house , Jan. 18 , 1906. T. Hush Thompson , the hilarious vagabond , is of course the central figure. His comic antics and his brave and unique Pinkerton meth ods of foiling the destroyer of his home are brought out more fully this season in the new version. The third and fourth acts have un dergone a complete reconstruction , slap-stick comedy having been eliminated to some extent and in its stead melo-dramatic situations of the better sort have been in jected. The third act now shows the hospital ward of the Colorado asy lum for the feeble minded. Pic turesque stage settings are carried for each act. Oppression of the Poor. Tbe interest of the laborer should be in the thing on which he is em ployed. Then he would press on ward in his physical and mental exertions to improvements of the most valuable character , such as would not only ameliorate his own condition , but would send forth a blessing over the whole world. As things are now existing , the laborer feels an interest in the re ward only , and not in employment itself. Therefore labor is disgust ing and tiresome , while its reward alone actuates the worker , and thus the proper development of his physical and intellectual pow ers is discouraged and obstructed. The laborer feels no interest in the- development or the advancement of his employer's interest , but merely in the amount of reward he may extract from him , and which is necessary to his subsist ence. He who employs , feels no interest in the poor and their necessities , but exerts his power and ingenuity to press the laborer to every possible extreme and then remunerates him agreeably to his own interest. The employer docs not reward the laborer because he feels an interest in his family's welfare. On the other hand , after compelling him to labor excessive ly , he pays him only as a man would feed his herds at night. Nay , the classes who speculate upon the poor and oppressed , in many instances do not scruple to force them from their families , at an hour which all the laws of the human system have appropriated to rest , into the field of labor and ; or the workshop of toil and after compelling them to work without cessation until their energies are exhausted , reward them as their own power and interest may dic tate , even as a man would drive a mule from his stable , oppress him with heavy burdens during the day and at night requite his labor and hunger and prostration in proportion to the amount of food he has garnered up for all his ex tensive herds. The poor are thus oppressed , and the laborer is thus not justly rewarded. They not only have none in the cultivation of their < * # . < * J. . ,1 " ' . .a The Backbone of a Mighty Nation is good food food for brain , rood for Drawn , food that is strengthening , that gives energy and courage. Without a proper appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise to greatness. As an article of food , soda crackers are being used , more and more every day , as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000 packages of Uneeda Biscuit , which have come to be recog nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known. ' * And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at If eveiy meal , giving life , health and strength to the American people , thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY own powers ; for all their physical energies are concentrated day after day on gaining a subsistence , and their degraded occupation. Men should be rewarded in proportion to the amount of labor they ac complish , and then they would feel an interest in industry , aiid not merely in its reward. At present , however , he who labors * most and suffers the most opposit ion , receives the least reward ; he who is idle and subsists upon the labor of others , is both abundantly rewarded and entensively ap preciated for his supposed good ness and virtue. It is true that virtue exists only where vice is not , and it is more over-true that he who is idle is necessarily vicous and is no more than an unnecesJ J sary particle in the constitution of the human family. Such a one is an excrescence to society , is an in jury to the welfare of the labor ing , and more injurious to the human race than an inactive popu lation or a class of persons who .despise , and yet subsist and specu late upon the labor of others , of those who are degraded. The beehive of industry typifies what the race should and will'be. In the economy of the beehive , one'thing is to be particularly re warded. And that is , that every inactive bee is considered a drone to the community , and therefore all interest and affection are with drawn from it , and they all decide that the drone is thus an injury to the welfare of the whole , and that it must be cast from their midst forever. Every bee is obliged to contribute its share to the wealth and elevation of the whole mass ; and they are taught to feel an instinctive affection for the uni versal welfare. And having their interests thus centered , nothing can thwart their activity for the benefit of each other and the whole. Nothing can prevent the accumu- lotion of wealth , or destroy the happiness which they universally enjoy.
