You ought to be out raising hell.
This is the fighting age.
Put on your fighting clothes.

Mother Jones News for August, Part II: Plans for Labor Day
From the Evansville Press of August 29, 1917:
An advertisement indicates that Mother Jones will be the principle speaker at the Henderson, Kentucky, Labor Day Celebration on Monday September 3rd. The event is being sponsored by the Central Labor Unions of both Evansville, Indiana, and Henderson.
From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette of August 27, 1917:
The death of Senator John Worth Kern is an opportunity to recall the role played by the good Senator in freeing Mother Jones from the grip of West Virginia’s Military Bastille during the Cabin Creek-Paint Creek Strike of 1912 & 1913.
