SETH LELAND FORD.

The news of the death of Seth Leland Ford, which occurred in Baltimore December 10, 1910, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. K. Tongue, will recall to many of the readers of THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL memories of this lovable and magnetic character.

Born seventy-six years ago, Seth Ford became a member of Buffalo Union in 1860. At the beginning of the civil war he answered President Lincoln's first call for troops, re-enlisted twice afterwards, served in the army of the Cumberland and participated in twenty-nine engagements. At the close of the war, although in bad physical shape from the war-time exposures, he pluckily struck out to Salt Lake City, where he established and successfully conducted the largest printing house that Salt Lake City had as yet seen. Hardly had he placed his business on a sound footing than his eyesight began to fail rapidly, and thirty-three years ago Seth Ford became totally blind. More than twenty years ago he became a still more helpless invalid following a stroke of paralysis.

ter.

In these years of physical affliction, the character of Mr. Ford was developed. The devoted love and service of a noble wife, the tender affection of his two daughters, were his in his hours of need, nor were they wanting at the close of his life's chapCut off apparently from life's activities, yet he became a veritable power for the advancement of humanity, and his name and his deeds are known among hundreds of those who have dedicated themselves to the working class. It was in Baltimore one night last March that this dear old man received what was, for him, full and complete payment for the twenty years of devoted work as a socialist. On that occasion he heard for the first and the last time the matchless oratory with which Eugene V. Debs clothes his unanswerable logic. For many years "Daddy" Ford, as he was affectionately called by his friends and comrades, longed to hear Debs, but it was thought impossible for the helpless invalid. This time, however, his son-in-law, Raymond K. Tongue, not permitting a whisper of his plan to reach "Daddy's' ears, lest it should fall through, to the bitter disappointment of the invalid, determined to overcome the impossible. "Daddy" was successfully brought from his home to the theater, and there, for two hours the old man reveled. But it was after the hall was nearly empty that the climax came. When 'Gene Debs found that his old comrade was in the theater, he made his way to the box where lay the helpless figure, his sightless eyes ashine. You should have been there. 'Gene Debs just gathered that pathetic, broken body into his arms, and then they talked. Ah, such a meeting, and such a talk! Seth Leland Ford is dead, but "Daddy" Ford, socialist, union printer, man, will always live. FRANK N. H. LANG.

TRADES ON COUNCIL

NOTICE TO SECRETARIES AND CORRE

SPONDENTS.

Items for the official columns of THE JOURNAL should be prepared on a separate sheet, and the style of the paper followed as closely as possible. Such items should not be made a part of a letter dealing with other subjects, for if this is done the items are likely to be overlooked, even though the greatest care be exercised. Write as plainly as possible especially proper names-using one side of the sheet only. All official matter must be in the hands of the editor BEFORE THE TWENTIETH EACH MONTH, to insure insertion in the issue immediately following. The observance of the foregoing will tend to insure what is desired by allpromptness and accuracy in the publication of official matter.

OF

Communications for the correspondence department of THE JOURNAL must be in the hands of the editor BEFORE THE TWENTIETH OF EACH MONTH to insure insertion in the issue immediately following. No communication will be published that does not bear the full name of the writer.

THE JOURNAL MAILING LIST.

When a member requests a change in his JOURNAL address, he should give the name and number of the union with which he is affiliated, together with his present and former address.

Additions to the mailing list can only be made when received through the local secretary. Members not receiving the magazine should furnish the local secretary with their addresses.

Additions, corrections or alterations reported by local secretaries should be kept separate from other correspondence. When a member deposits his card, and his name is reported for the subscription list, the secretary should state where the member previously received THE JOURNAL, and give the name and number of the union with which he was affil

iated. When a member draws his card, is suspended or expelled, or in any manner ceases to be an active member of the local, the secretary should request that his name be dropped from the mailing list.

A large number of those who take cards and remove to unorganized towns fail to renew their cards. To prevent loss in such instances, it has been decided that members holding cards, and located outside of the jurisdiction of a local union, must either deposit their cards with the nearest union and pay dues each month, or pay Interna tional dues in advance, in order to get THE JOURNAL. Where a cardholder pays his dues to the local in advance, a specific report should be made by the secretary upon the case, in order that the name can be placed on the list and the magazine sent to the member for the time for which dues have been paid.

The 20th of each month is the latest date upon which changes for the succeeding issue can be made on our mailing list.

Upon request, secretaries will be furnished with a copy of the list of their members to whom THE JOURNAL is being sent.

All correspondence regarding THE JOURNAL should be addressed to J. W. Hays, Newton Claypool building, Indianapolis, Ind.
