The PAINTER & DECORATOR official Journal of The Brotherhood of Painters Decorators and Paperhangers of America • The Friend Who Stands By When trouble comes your soul to try Number Nine "To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government." IT T IS not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs. to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.-Theodore Roosevelt. -Abraham Lincoln. in the advancement and achievements of the Republic.-Representative Charles E. Winter of Wyoming. Do a little more and do it a little better than the boss expects. It's all right to suggest changes and improvements in the business after you have made a success yourself; but first buckle down and make a success of just one job yourself. You can't grow without working. I have always heard about "easy money," but I have never seen any of it. All the successful men whom I know dispositions and other failings but they are are dynamos for work. They may have ugly all great workers. Men who through speculation or inheritance usually their get lose it. The really big men of America have won their spurs by doing what they didn't want to do when they didn't want to do it. A Roger W. Babson. ".... They (the unions) were organized out of the necessities of the situation. single employee was helpless in dealing with an employer. He was dependent ordinarily on his daily wage for the maintenance of himself and family. If the employer refused to pay him the wages that he thought fair, he was nevertheless unable to leave the employ and to resist arbitrary and unfair treatment. Union was essential to give laborers opportunity to deal on equality with their employer." WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. Chief Justice, U. S. Supreme Court. From opinion delivered in American Steel Foundries vs. The Tri-City Central Trades Council. I congratulate labor that there is such an auspicious and significant day as Labor Day. The fact that there is such a day set apart by the State and recognized by the Nation and all its people is of itself a great tribute to the part which free labor has performed money One crying need of the times is equality in the administration of the law. There is one administration for the poor, another for the rich, and still another widely different for vast corporations. It is useless to deny this, everybody knows it, and the laborers resent it bitterly.-Prof. Richard T. Ely. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.-Patrick Henry. As long as civilization is allowed to pursue its course, however tastes may change, and whatever developments may be wrought, the stamp of good, honest, skillful, and cultured art industry will not only preserve its value, but pay compound interest as well.— Walter Smith, in "The Printing Art." |
