Excerpt from The People's Hour and Other Themes The author of this book is a working man, one who would be ashamed to live either lawlessly or lawfully on the labor of others. In periods of enforced idleness he has had time to become well informed, and to think around and through things. But experience has taught him most, and made him in manhood sympathy alive. He knows what the wage-workers and out-of-works are up against. All their problems have been his. This volume is of the workers and for the workers - and no others. The professional book reviewers who look for pleasing literature, and such of the book-reading public as care only for entertainment, have not been regarded. It is not a book for the class of people who are contented with things as they are, but for the overburdened, dependent, discontented masses. Its themes are vital, its language plain, its ideas necessarily disturbing to the income-drawing, labor-commanding classes. After all, one man is like another, like every other. Each man has in him the promise or possibility of unlimited development. All good is for all men who will together work for it.
