latter argument seems the most effective.

The Switchmen are now asking for “eight hours
to work, eight hours to sleep and the remaining eight
to do with as they please.” This is no more than a just
demand and should be acceded to despite the claim of
a rival organization that a ten-hour contract is “just as
good, or better.”

There Is Only One
Editor Journal:
For some time there has been
comment upon the conditions of
the Galveston cemeteries. I would
suggest that if the owners of lots
would contribute a little effort to
the appearance of their own
ground the present conditions
would not exist.
About two and a half years ago
the ladies of the Episcopal church
took charge of the Episcopal yard
and the . improvements h a v e
been wonderful. The funds with
which this work is done are collect-
ed by them and a sexton is em-
ployed, to whom the credit is due
for the beauty of the cemetery.
This is just a hint that would ap-
ply to other grave yards. R. G. P.

Another disasater—53 or more killed by a train
falling- off a bridge into the water. Will such an acci-
dent happen on the old barnacle-eaten structure con-
necting Galveston with the mainland? Who can tell?
An ounce of prevention would be worth millions of
dollars of cure in this case. ,

(argument to the man), while in foreign countries cl sses- ye cannot deal with us as
ye deal with the beings and the ob-
The happiest and most contented class of people
in Galveston are the well-paid union workers who
have reasonably secure and permanent jobs. They
sleep well, eat well and live well. These men,
• and women, get more happiness, comfort and pleasure
out of life than do the immensely wealthy, who do not
know what to do with their idle hours or their idle
money. The readers of 'Che Journal are the happy
and contented families of the union workmen. They
are making good money this yean and they enjoy
spending it. If they followed the exampie of Russell
Sage Galveston would dry up and blow away. They
earn good money in Galveston and they spend it here.
They don’t go to Houston or send to Chicago or New
York to buy what they need. The patronage of the
union workman and his family is the most desirable of
any class in this city. The place to reach the eye of
the union workman is in the advertising columns of the
Journal. The advertising columns of this paper indi-
cate the business men who recognize that fact, and
while there are not as many as there should be, those
who do advertise appreciate the results. We strongly
urge our readers to patronize our advertisers, as by so
doing they are dealing with good houses and helping
the paper at the same time.

Election day is next Tuesday, the 6th. It be-
hooves every member of organized labor, who is quali-
fied, to turn out and vote, if for no other reason, to
show the candidates whom we have endorsed that we
abide by our agreements. Besides, a full vote will
give Galveston County better representation in future
congressional and district conventions. Show your
manhood. Turn out and vote.

We are in receipt of a long printed harangue from

The big export cotton trade is affording most mu-
nificent wages for the workers in cotton this year and
as a result the merchant who caters to the trade of or-
ganized labor is reaping the benefit.

A merchant who will deliberately have work
done by non-union workmen is not a friend of organ-
ized labor no matter if he covers the earth with adver-
tising matter saying that he is.

Have you paid your poll-tax? No? Why haven’t
you? Get busy or lie down.
You can determine the distance
of a star by multiplying the number
of seconds that it requires for a ray
of its light to travel to the earth.
You can know exactly what will
result when certain chemical sub-
stances are brought together.
But you can never tell precisely
what a man will do under circums-
tances which have been familiar to
this world since the beginning of
time. The element of human na-
ture will not permit itself to be
classified and catalogued. It re-
sents every attempt to force it into
the laboratory for the purpose of
analysis. It objects very strenuous-
ly to being placed upon the opera-
ting table for the purpose of dissec-
tion.
There are degrees of human na-
ture so fine that they cannot be
measured by the most exact ‘’mi-
crometer” that was ever invented.
To the man who would cram it
into a mold it manifests its indig-
. nation by breaking the barrier that
confines it. You cannot deal with
men as the entomologist deals with
his millions of bugs. They refuse
; to be “grouped,” and they prove it
by annihilating the carefully-made
; deductions of the sociologists.
. Sometimes these superior beings
are surprised to find that their
“subjects” have forced their way
into the “holy of holies”—the very
social grade to which they them-
’ selves belong. No longer are they
• the “high priests” with peculiar
„ privileges. Their sociological rules
cannot account for it. They regard
with astonishment the working-
man who seems to possess powers
equal to their own. With impunity
■ have they been prodding their kid-
■ gloved fingers into his private af-
. fairs. Without shame have they
» been “slumming” in" the respecta-
• ble tenement house district in
which he makes his home, sub-
jecting his wife and children to the
humiliation of the outcast in so-
; ciety.

employ union men, such as restau-
rants, dry goods stores, hotels, saloons,
barber shops, etc. In more cases the
label is affixed to the article produced

of these are hung up in the places that
printers, garment makers, hatters, boot
and shoe workers, etc., being examples.
All union men’nd friends of organized
labor are urged to study this list of
trades having labels in the house in
