Every day for the past week the
following advertisement has appeared
in the Lincoln daily newspapers:
PRINTING pressmen in the state de-

Doubtless this advertisement has
been seen, read and answered by a
number of boys in the country towns
who have had brief experience siiov-
ing noteheads and envelopes into a
Gordon press, or patent insides into
the grippers of country Campbell and
imagine that they are pressmen. And
doubtless they think they see in the
advertisement an opportunity to come
to a city and make big wages. The
boys would better think again. The
wages are not big. the work is hard,
the expenses are high, and the chances
are that they would not last long.

CHILD LABOR.

How Sworn Officers Of the Law Permit

State Labor Commissioner McMackin
has been accused of being inefficient in
a very important Office. According to
IA report presented to Governor Hig-
gins by representatives of the New
York Child Labor committee and the
National and State Child Labor Com
mittee, Commissioner McMackin has
manifested such Indifference to his du-
ties that although there were in 1903
over $4,000 violations found by inspec-
tors on their first visits to the fac
tories of the state, there were only L.
095 reinspectiOns to determine if the
orders of the department had been
complied with, and but convictions y
In one case, an agent of the committee

force the law against the employment

he should be promptly removed from

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.
A Great Work at Hand That She can
Accomplish BY UnioDism.

Accomplish by UnioDism.
When a man marries, he generally
tries to the best OF his ability to make
his home pleasant and comfortable
for the girl who has consented to share
her lot with him.
And woman ought to consider her
husbands interests first.
If woman has husband who us a
candidate for some office on the re-
publican ticket, do we hear her sing
ing the praises of her opponent?
Why, even if she didn't know the
difference between the republican
ticket and an example in algebra, she
would swear by it because her hus-
band does.
But when a man belongs to a union,
the greatest and only protection a
working man has, how many wives
uphold him? When there is an extra
assessment to aid some strike, she
will say las rule): Let them take
care of themselves. You are not one
of them, and why should you help
them? | need that small amount my
self, want to buy a new waist"
But listen!" the husband will say;
IF ever am on strike these men will
help me-
The wife answers: But you may
never go on strike; there is all your
money gone"
Such a woman might be talked to
till a man turned to stone, and she'd
never understand. She doesn't want
to, and when a person doesn't want to
understand, they're worse than those
who can't.
man comes home and says to his
wife: MY dear, when you go into a
store to buy anything, always ask for
goods with the union label on them
as that will insure to us the fact that
we are not buying penitentiary made
goods"
The wife smiles very sweetly and
sa1k she will, and the very next day
g0ND into an unfair house and buys
goods that statesmen tell her are not
made by union working men.
Now, what are the union men going
to do in their fight for justice when
their wives, who have promised to be
J helpmate to them, will tear down
what they have built up? Even if the
union men do demand uniQn-made
goods, where they spend one dollar
