In regard to a proposal to have elective ministries added to the fighting / platform, Senator McGregor said the principle was already recognised as / far as Labor organisations were concerned. The motion was lost. / -- Report of Hobart Labor Conference.
Now, I always have preserved a certain attitude / Quite definite in reference to Work - / ('Tis futility concealing / That I have the Weary Feeling / And tendency perennial to shirk) - / Still, I always strive to recognise the principle / That earnest, steady toil is ever best; / So that, having recognised it, / Not to say idealised it, / I would fain lay down my pen and take a rest.
