TOM WAS RIGHT
Thomas A. Edlaon recently remarked
that ho comtldered the elsht hour duve.
g wy M hJ fnf prcirrehat h
waa glad the tight hour day hail not
been Invented when ho waa a young
man or he would not have accompllth-
ed very muoh In thla life. He aald In
thna days there were drones the same
at there are today but the difference In
j them waa that they tried to cover tbolr
luunraa iy aeenilng induttry while to-
day there is no Incentive f.r even thlt
men are not even aahupied of their
laziness. They are tupitoHed to work
rlKht noun but. whether they work or
not. If they belong to the union they
are paid ao why work? - We won't go
aa far to nay we agree entirely with
IVlison. He is a tuperman both In ar
compllNbinent and endurance. Pvrhaus
eight hourt of good honest work every
day Is enough for the average man. At
leatt It entltlet him to a good living.
Hut If Mr. Kdlton had to contend with
men who wouldn't even work eight
hours he would have cuue to tear hit
hair and rave. And that la exactly what
a lot of factroy superintendents have
to oontend with In fart It is what ev-
eryone has to contend with who employs
sny number of men. These are tho
men who are ringing the wheeia of
progress today and who are making our
pre-war Industrial such a difficult mat-
ter to reeaubllah. Ochiltree County
Herald.
At utt. Mr. Kdlaon was right. The
man or aet or men w hoa sole thought
la on gutting the money and doing Just
aa little work aa they ran for It. are
not the sort for whlcit there is a do-
mand today. If the tune and effort
that have been spent In trying to get
something for nothing had been Invest
jed In honeat arneat work tht people
tt every pnas or aorltty would at thla
urw ut uiurn o eiier risen iiuin iney

cure the thinga tieodful in life.
