The Power of the Labor News
Power is the greatest word in all of the languages spoken by human beings. With it anything is possible, without it we are helpless. Power is usually visualized by armies, courts, legislatures, police, sheriffs, etc. Yet they are but the visible expression of an invisible thing that sustains them all. Power of whatever kind in the direction of human affairs rests in the last analysis upon the human mind; armies, courts, police, legislature, sheriffs, etc. have no inherent power except as they express the apparent wishes of mankind. They exist and serve certain purposes only as long as the purposes have their source in the consent of men. Withdraw that and all of these are powerless. Power then resides in the human mind. When the vast multitudes of the nation decide to change human institutions, the change will be made: They must decide to think right, to think in terms of power for their class. Power resides in the printed word as it reaches the human mind and makes men think. The LABOR NEWS is a powerful instrument to awaken the thinking powers of those whom they represent. You can extend this power by getting the LABOR NEWS into the hands of your fellow members impressing upon them at all times that the LABOR NEWS is the real mouthpiece which ORGANIZED LABOR speaks through its members Let no copy go to waste. A wasted copy is wasted opportunity. Get behind your Labor Paper and help build its circulation so that it reaches every member of Organized Labor. For it is only with support and co-operation of its readers can we make our power felt when certain changes are demanded for the good of all concerned. Hand this copy of the LABOR NEWS to a fellow member and have him fill in the subscription blank below, and let it not be said that the day of better understanding in the ranks of Labor was not reached because of our neglect.
