Carpenters Hold
An Open Meeting

The members Of Carpenters and
Jolners Union No. 1859 held open
house at their hall last Tuesday even
ing, and the result was one of the bes.
and most helpful Union meetings ever
held in Lincoln. The union carpenters
invited their non-union fellow work
men to meet with them and talk over
matters OF interest to the craft in gen
eral, and large number of the non-
unionists accepted the invitation Fully
two hundred men were gathered in
che hall, there being a scattering of
assistance of their advice and expert
ence.
At the national convention in Mil
waukee an appropriation was made for
the purpose. of better organizing the
work in Lincoln, and the local secured
the services of Sidney j Kent, who
Tor several years has been working
III the national field. Mr.. Kent, at con-
siderable personal sacrifice, consented
TO take hold of the work, and as re-
suit the local has Eeen enjoying
splendid revival of enthusiasm and
healthy increase in membership. Since
Mr.. Kent began active work in the 10
cal field the membership has been III
creased upwards of score, and sew
eral members who had lapsed have
been reinstated. The best of his work.
however in
interest in unionism.
Mr.. Kent presided at the open meet
ing Tuesday evening and made a short
talk that aroused the enthusiasm Of
his hearers. He explained the objects
and aims of unionism, anI pointed out
the good that organization had done in
all lines of industrial trades. His re-
marks to the non-union craftsmen
present were kindly and put unionism
to them in it's best and truest light
Other members of the local made
short speeches, some of them telling
what advantages had accrued to them
by reason of their membership in the
union Through all the remarks ran
the sentiment OF fraternity and help
fulnsss.
Representatives of other crafts were
called upon and told briefly what had
been done in their trades through Or
sanization and mutual helptulness. The
editor of The Wageworkef was asked
to make a few remarks and spoke OF
the need of broader unionism thai
would pass the boundaries of ones
craft. General Kelsey, president OF the
Central Labor Union, spoke briefly and
urged workingmen to think for them
selves, to educate themselves and to
stand upon their rights as American
citizens while recognizing the rights
of every other man.
During the entire evening there wer.
marked evidences of interest and there
is every reason to believe that the
will prove a great benefit 10
the Carpenters and Joiners, and to all
other organized crafts in the city AS
we'll. So successful was the meeting
that it will probably be followed By
similar meetings on the part of other
Unions in the city. Already plans are
under way for an open meeting at Cen |
trail Labor Union hall to which all |
will be invited and short |
talks made by men of wide experience |

the Pope is of the opinion that a coun-
try containing so many Catholics as
the United States do should not be
without some kind of representative
at the Vatican. Besides, since the
taking-over Of the Philippines and Por-
to Rico by this country, numerous
questions have arisen between church
and state that have called for the
services of experienced diplomats on
both sides.
The growth and power of the Amer
lean Catholic Church has caused
discussion. extending over several
years, of the ACCESSIBILITY of creating
more American cardinals and giving
this branch of the church more power
in the holy college. Archbishops Corri-
gan and Ireland have several times
been mentioned as on the eve of re-
ceiving the red hat.
These three matters, 1t is believed,
will be closely examined into by Cardi-
nal satoll. who will report to the Pope
upon them.

The presence in this country of Car
dnal Satoln on his third visit, is the
occasion of a great deal of discussion
and speculation in Catholic circles,
The Cardinal has said that he is
here for rest and recreation, and that
his stay will extend over a period of
six months and possibly longer. If
he has any purpose beyond resting. he
has not made it known. Meanwhile
Catholic churchmen are strongly of
the opinion that he is on secret err
rand connected with the administra-
ton of the church, which may be Of
ficially announced later, but possibly
not until after the Cardinal has re-
turned to Rome and made his report
to the Vatican.
Canvassing the subjects that would
most likely come under the examina-
ton of an envoy from the Vatican,
certain well-informed priests have
rea ched the conclusion that three mat
tiers may receive the attention of Car
dinal Satolli. These are the revival
of Cahenslyism, diplomatic relations
between the Vatican and the United
States government, and the creation
of one or more additional American
cardinals.
Herr Cahensly, a German, advocated
having national instead of territorial
bishops. He wished German Catho.
lies in this country to have a Ger
man bishop in order that their ma.
tionality might be preserved. He rea.
soned that. with German
bishop, and German-speaking priests
the Catholic immigrants from
Germany to the United States woul(
retain their love for the customs ant
traditions of the Fatherland, no matter
where they might be settled. Carried
out logically. there would have to bt
Spanish bishops and Spanish-speakins
priests for the Spaniards in this coun,
try. and so on with respect TO Other
nationalities. That is what is called
Cahenslyism; and, naturally. il has IN,
| antagonism of the American church
The recent heavy influx Of immigrant,
from Catholic countries into the United
States has caused the matter 10 re-
ceive renewed attention.
II Is estimated that there are 1000.
900 Catholics in this country. and IN,
number is being constantly Increase
by the immigration referred to. NJ
diplomatic relations are maintained be-
tween Washington ana the Vatican
and n Is not likely that such relation
WI be Instituted. SILL g. is believed

IT once heard Bell of telephone
fame" said an old citizen, according
to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, tell of
his reception at the hands of Russell
Sage.
HE was worn out, sick, and discour-
aged. Everybody was interested in his
little instrument as curiosity, but
no one would put money into it. He
finally decided to sell out, and quit, If
he could find a purchaser. He figured
up and discovered that $500 would let
him out. He went to the office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
thinking that they might take it off his
hands
"He fell into the tender mercies of
Russell Sage. That eminent financier
examined it, listened to his explana-
tions and heard his selling price. Then
he took Prof. Bell to the window, and
pointed down into Broadway. my
friend, he said, that is where you sell
toys. not up here
BELL was more discouraged than
ever but in a little while some one
caught on, and the tide turned. One
of the happiest things about his sue
cess has been the reflection that Rus
sell Sage had a call on millions and
let the chance go by. He has often
wondered what may be the reflections
of Uncle Russell when he gives the
matter a thought"

Rnnkoed the Editor.

VIII S. Adams, who is publishing at
Marquette, Mich, for love and money,
a little thing in the magazine line
called Chips has been taken in by
confidence man from Milwaukee, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mr.. Adams
says:
1T isn't often the editor gets nipped
in the seat of his financial trousers,
but this time the bitter took off a hunk
without giving us chloroform."
1t was in this way: A gentleman
travelling for a not very well known
firm of brokers went into the sanctum
to sell Mr.. Adams $500 worth of stock
in the concern, which is doing business
on a stock company basis. Someone up
the street told him that the editor had
more money than brains. OF course,
the only deduction to be made from
this was that he was as solid as a mint
and better than ]. Pierpont's check.
Il have come" said the vender of
stock, ito sell you a small interest in
our firm. We pay 20 per cents per
cent. quarterly-collectabl in cigarette
coupons, soap wrappers or national
bank lithos. You can pull out at any
time you wish. without leaving any
clothing and the firm will refund your
money on request"
Mr.. Adams, of course, saw through
this at once and winked the other eye
at the agent like the slapping of
barn door in a heavy wind. But that
was not the last shot the scoundrel
had in his locker. Let the editor of
Chips tell his own story:
I'VE declined the stock, and the
agent Immediately began casting about
for another means of separating us
from our hard earned rah-haw.
IN bet you ST. he said, that
Roosevelt will not be renominated for
President this year.
Our Republican blood naturally
got the best of us and we took the
offer without waiting to count the
cost. This is where we lost, and It
didn't take mountain or a ton of
brick to fall on us to understand it
when the man from Milwaukee said
that Roosevelt had never been nomi-
mated, which, of course, made his re-
nomination utterly impossible"
