OBJECTS OF UNION LABOR,
"Live and let Live

AT present one Of the most interest
ing and most important subjects be-
fore the American people is Union
Labor. Yet, only a very few really
understand the forts and objects
Of over two million united wage
earners.
In their struggles labor organiza'
tons have the sympathy and support
of millions of American citizens and
il is only because they do not under
stand the aim OF these men that the
entire world at large does not encour-
age and support them.
The foremost aim Of the union Is
higher wages and shorter hours. But
many ask, What right have these
working men TO demand higher wages
or shorter hours?" | would ask these
persons whether the capitalist Is re-
ceiying the same interest on his in
vestment rs he Hrmei received.
No, he il receiving a great deal more
than in former years but the laboring
men. the men who bring the capital
list his additional gains, how has he
profted by the great gains due to his
labors. While 1t is true that improved
machinery often increase the employ
ers profits. yet as machinery i'm
proves, man must likewise improve
and should therefore command a
share Of the new profits.
Shorter hours give man new
strength new vitality, enabling him
to do as much work for his employer
In eight hours as he formerly did in
ten hours. An experiment In the Ill
nois coal fields clearly proved this
fact. more coal being mined in eight
hours than was formerly mined in ten
hours. Thus this new vigor gained
by shorter hours was returned to the
employer in the form of labor what
had the capitalist lost?
We often hear the statement that
long hours demand stimulants and
this sad statement seems to be true.
When the lab0rer worked ~ hours per
4
day. after the days work was finished
he could be seen to enter saloon,
there to spend his earnings and make
home unhappy. Shorter hours take
away the demand for stlmulants and
now the labOrer will return to his
home to enjoy its love and beauties
with his family which is a new life to
him.
IA the laborer's wages increase,
books and pictures begin to beautify
I the home: home is improved and the
children are given a better education.
No one can deny that thus improving
the condition OF the working class
does not improve the condition of the
entire community.
AS before stated, as the standard OF
living of the working man is raised,
he will give his children a better ed
ucation. But the organization Of la
Dor also does much to educate the In
dividual working man. In attending
their meetings the men hear lectures
By excellent lecturers and they are
governed by a set Of parliamentary
laws and thus learn to express their
opinions and TO listen to those OF
others In this way they obtain a
broader view of the various subjects
discussed.
The social Improvement in the
working man is more noticeable each
year With shorter hours the men
have more time 10 devote TO relig

THE EVOLUTION OF A SCHOOL
GIRL.

II is a pleasant thing for girl to
go to school in our present day II i
moderately pleasant to go to board
ing school, but there was time not
so very long ago when the hardship
Of school was not a fancy phrase.
In the early days our girls were NOT
educated Boys were the only ones
thought to be fit for an education
and that was not very extensive, but
as the world grew and our desires
became more affluent, we began the
education of our girls.
Look at the time when Mrs. Sher
wood entered upon school life She
was almost the same as kept In
prison, having the punishment OF sit
ting for hours at time in a brace
Of wood, collar of iron, and recitiDg
all her lessons standing In stocks.
Think of enduring such torture
But she bore it bravely and was a
cheerful ami contentej girl No won
der when she was sent to famous
French school called Abbey School, y
she thought it a luxury compared to
her life In the past.
Mary Fairfax. who was born over a
hundred years ago, never entered
school until she was ten years Of age.
but she, too, experienced the same
fate as Mrs Sherwood.
Think of studying a whole page of
| Johnson's dictionary and learning
pages of definitions every day, and
all the while being unable to see what
the girl next TO you was doing. After
all Of this rigid discipline they were
not taught much Miss Fairfax was
taught the art Of sewing and in after
years grew very fond Of study. Often
| her candles were taken away from
her to prevent her sitting up late ~
night, and then even at daybreak she
was known TO arise and work away
at her studies 1t Is plain that her
DAYS were not shortened by hard
! study for she lived to be 80 years Of
| age. anu was Dht vi Aht hiOnh at"A hNh
women of England.
In the first part Of the nineteenth
century, the girls were thought to
be sufficiently equipped for their lot
in life If they knew the first rules OF
three-arithmetic. while in language
they were not enlightened. In their
compositions and gramar they were
taught only enough TO enable them
to write a letter.
The arithmetics and readers Of
olden times were sober volumes
bound in full sheep, and the old spell
lers we're not much gayer. On the
inside there was a great deal of va
riety, words from one syllable mp &c
skies, wise maxims, religious instruc
tons. and a sprinkling of curious. pic
lures. No one could make more
quaint distortions OF fact and human
nature. 1t gives You the same feeling
as If you were looking out on tht
world through the flaws of an oil
time window pane.
All school girls think their lot thu
hardest, even our grandmothers, II
studying the old blue back spellel
encountered many difficulties. as We
girls do in the study of Latin, geome
/. try and astronomy.

of the past and the present. Thos'
of the olden times were of rude struc

VETERANS ADVANTAGES
IN ENTERING LAND
Commissioners Richards Shows They Are
Less Extensive Than Reported

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1.-The
commissioner of the general land Office
today issued the following statement in
tended for the protection of old soldiers
contemplating settling on public lands:
Information has been received at the
general land office that designing per-,
sons are circulating reports through In
diana and perhaps elsewhere that old sol
diers are entitled to enter public lands,
particularly in Western Nebraska, and
receive patent therefor without residing
upon or cultivating the lands, as other
persons are required to do. This report is
false
"'The only favor given the old soldier
by the homestead laws which is not
granted to other persons is that of being
permitted to make his first filing through
an agent and to have the time of his
service deducted from the five years
which homestead entrymen are required
to reside upon the land. This latter priv
ilege is enjoyed by all soldiers who served
ninety days in the War of the Rebellion,
after they have actually resided upon
the land for one year. The only soldiers
who are permitted to acquire title to lands
without establishing bona fide residence
and having a home thereon are those who
made entry Of less than 100 acres under
the homestead laws prior to June %, 1874.
Any soldier having made entry prior to
that date Of less than $50 acres is now
entitled to enter so much lands as would,
when added to the lands already entered,
make a total of 100 acres, and upon maxi
ing such an entry he receives patent with
out having to reside upon the land"

The Indifference of the mass of
women in regard to the privilege of
voting is the NEST difficult factor with
which the equal suffragists have to
contend, for they have to consider not
only arousing the Indifferent women,
but also to convince many who believe
in the justice of their demands of the
expediency of granting full political
rights to a class that is not insiStently
demanding it.
This problem occupied the attention
of the state association this afternoon,
being presented in a paper by DR..
Florence c.. Baier, of Minneapolis. The
speaker questioned the existence of in
difference in the degree popularity as

After reviewing noteworthy in
stances of the Indifference and apathy
of men towards new. movements for
their own betterrnent, DR.. Baier, direct
ed attention to the elaborate organiza-
ton and constant efforts deemed nee
essary by all political parties to main
tain the interest of men voters, who
have had abundant opportunities of
testing the value of the electoral fran
chise. Similar methods were advocat-
ed for overcoming the mental inertia
of women and making them realize
their duties and responsibilities. AS
the ballot for women must be secured
through the votes of men, Dr. Baier
desired to see theGp possibilities for good
in women's votes emphasized as
means of enlisting the support of men
who are seeking to promote the higher
interests of their country.

COUNT LEOPOLD-IS= NOT
RECOGNIZED AS REGENT
Emperor William Takes Action in
Lippe- BieslerfeId Matter

BERLIN, Oct. 4-The Lippe gov
eminent has published a telegram from
Emperor William to Count Leopold,
son of the late regent, Count Ernst of
Lfppe- Chesterfield, condoling with him
on the death of his father and notify
ing him that, as the legal situation is
uncertain. he (the emperor) is unable
to recognize Count Leopold as regent,
and that hence the military will not be
permitted to take the oath of allegiance
to Count Leopold. The government of
Iippe suggests that the dispute as to
the right of succession should be sub
mitted to the federal supreme court, or
TO. some other impartial court. instead
OF the federal council.
The death of Count Ernst, Sept. 90,
was followed by "a protest of Prince
George, directed to the federal coun-
Gil, against the succession of Count
Leopold, son of the deceased. regent. on
the ground that the entire Lippe- Beis-
1erfeld line lost its right of succession
because Modest Won Uruh, great grand
mother of Count Leopold, was not le-
gaIly descended from a noble family.
