• Lutherraann Normal School Mirror. "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." Vol. XIX. No. 7. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., APRIL, 1917. Whole No. 1 64. r d The Call of the West. Dakota, Dakota, all honor to thee ! How vast are your prairies, how grand and how free ! The North Wind comes sweeping down over the lea, And bears on his wings new life to you and me. Ho ho ! for the land where every cheek is red, Where the frost and the snow doth creak at your tread, And the stars glitter bright in the blue overhead. Though the East has its charms, it is crowded back there ; As for me, let me roam in the land of do and dare, Let me drink the cool water and breathe the pure air, And sleep the sweet sleep of the land of no care. Lead me farther and farther into the far West, To Elysian fields, where the sun sinks to rest. Somewhere over there let me build me a nest, And there let me liVe with the one I love best. AN ALUMNA. The Labor Movements of the Thirties. As long as labor was almost wholly agricultural, there was little opportunity for organization in order to improve conditions. There was also little need for it. Hours of labor were excessive, and the wages low, but this was be-cause labor produced little surplus wealth. There had been no sharp dis-tinction between labor and capital, and no permanent labor class. But between 1800 and 1825 these conditions changed rapidly in the United States, and the change was not to the advantage of the workers. The mass of hired labor shifted from agriculture to the trades and manufactures. The growth of cities (in which these industries more and more were concentrated) crowded the poorer population into the unwhole-some tenements, where were conditions of disease and crime, against which there was neither science nor law to guard. The growth of machinery mul-tiplied wealth, but the increase was left almost wholly in the hands of a new capitalist class, made up of large manu-facturers, speculators, and money kings.
