Arbor DAY Proclamation

Lincoln. Neb.. April io.-GOvcrnor
Mickey has issued the following Ar.
bor day proclamation, setting aside
Saturday April %, for the planting OF
trees:
Nebraska has profited much by the
institution and observance of Arbor
day The prolific planting of trees
by the pioneers and by those who
came after them has not only changed
the aspect of the plains as inherited
from nature but has wrought an i'm
pOrtant change in climatic conditions
as well. Many parts of the state now
present the appearance Of we'll
wooded country, while other portions
are responding to the inspiration OF
example and are making rapid strides
in the same good cause. Through a
wise enactment of the Legislature a
day has been permanently set apart
for the purpose Of conserving the in
terests of forestry and perpetuatng
the precept and example of the early
tree planters.
In harmony with the statute re
| ferred to |, John II. Mickey, governor
of the state OF Nebraska, do hereby
designate Saturday, April %, 1905, as
Arbor day and do earnestly enjoin its
proper observance upon all citizens
of the commonwealth. Let the day
be given over to the setting of trees
plants and shrubs, to the end that
private and public grounds may have
intelligent ornamentation and that
present as well as future generations
may receive the benefit Of our toll

70 Be AGAINST k|RkMAN
DECISION OF COURT MARTIAL
BELIEVED TO BE.
PAPERS SENT TO WASHINGTON
Though the Result of the Sitting of
the Court Has Not Been Given Out,
il is Thought That the Decision is
Against Captain.

Omaha. Neb., April 12.-The court
martial proceedings against Captain
George w. Kirkman are believed TO
have resulted in a decidedly unfavor-
able decision against him the papers
having been received at army head
quarters here on Saturday night and
Immediately forwarded to Washing
ton for the inspection of the president.
The charges against Captain Kirk
man included, conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman" and in
tOXication. His name was linked with
that of Mrs. Chandler who committed
suicide in this city a few weeks ago.
The court martial has been in ses-
sion for three weeks at Fort Mo
brara, Neb.
Whether his punishment will be
dismissal from the army or come in
some other form is not yet known, hut
there is good reason to believe that
the charges against him were grave
enough to warrant. his removal from
the service.
Colonel Pratt and Major Cecil OF
the Thirteenth infantry, Fort Crook,
both of whom were members of the
court, have returned to their station.

Others are Following.

Obed Klontz returned to Norfolk
last night from Lamar, Col. where
he went to work in the new sugar

with machinery from this city, and
states that large number of men
who left Norfolk for that place have
started back home dissatisfied with
their wages which were, he said. re.

A number of the worl,mcn who quit

town again this morning after a short
visit with his parents and friends,
said that conditions throughout Col.

Mr.. Klcnt2 did not like Lomar nor
the portion of Colorado in which that

He stated that number of Norfolk

started back to Norfolk and may be
expected here, unless they find en-.

JOHN BURNS ANALYZES
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Commenting on the United States
supreme court decision annuling the
ten-heur law Of New York, John
Burns, labor member Of the British
parliament, declared that the American
trust magnates are turning the con-
stitution into deadly instrument Of
Injustice whereby the workers would
be wronged and the rich made richer.
Burns adds: "'Freedom Of contract
is totally opposed to all modern Ideas
Of government. Why, If that princi-
ple were. strictly upheld, man could
sell himself into slavery. 1ndentured
labor, which we here in England are
fighting against, is dependent upon the
alleged right Of every man to sell his
labor as cheaply as he likes. Free
dom of contract strikes at the root Of
every factory act and every piece Of
remedial industrial legislation the
world has seen."

fathers of the multitude we are not
standing with the multitude. 1t is in
sinuated and asserted that we are with
the oppressors and use our spiritual
power to keep the people down in suf-
fering and humiliation. This is lie.
Nevertheless we must not allow the
liars to deceive the people. The priests
as fathers of the people cannot afford
to be misjudged. We cannot permit
even the appearance of being false to
the rights of the multitude.
Therefore we feel the necessity Of
repeatedly crying out against the GRIM
inal activities of men and corporations
who corner the bounties of nature nee
essary for the proper clothing, feeding.
warming and housing Of the struggling
millions. The usual stock gambling
methods that seek to control the bread
of life, the food that nurishes, the oil
that lights, the coal that warns, should
not be controlled for the aggrandtze-
ment and luxury of few to the suf-
fering of millions.
Let us hope and trust that with
Gods blessing the day is not far dis
tant when in every state in the Union
we will find on the statute books laws
and constitutional provisions that
make such conduct a crime against
the national safety"

WORKS UPON CHARITY
OF DULUTH PEOPLE

For several days the benevolent peo-
rio Of the city h~ve been duped by a
woman. representing herself to be a
member of the sisterhood of the Roman
Catholic church, soliciting aid, as she
asserted, for a newsboys's home In
Boston.
This inference is deduced from the
statement OF Bishop McGolrick that he
has not seen the woman nor sanctioned
her purpose, which is customary when
legitimate solicitors for the Catholic
church work in Duluth. It is the bish-
OPS custom to Issue letters Of rec
ommendation to worthy representa-
tives and as the woman has not sought
this favor the parishioners are inclined
to believe she Is an impostor.

labor convention made a hit. The
young man wos polished, tactful and
forcible. We hope that he will con-
tinue in the labor movement. There
is a good field for just such as he in
the ranks Of organized labor. Some
careful tutoring will land him in the
front rank of labor mewn in the coun-
try.
Among the citizens of Brainerd who
are worthy Of special mention is
Father Lynch, a clergyman f much
sympathy for labor. He is we'll konwn
locally as a true friend and Sage ad-
wiser of labor. The Brainerd conven-
tion gave him state reputation.
Mayor Con O'Brien is a good fellow
with a big heart, who evidently has
seen many years service in a work
shop. He gave the convention a royal
welcome in true Irish STYLE Frank
Hall, the chairman of the committee
on arrangements, did not permit
moment of inactivity to go by. He
was of especial service to the secre-
ry-treasurer, for which we are deep
ly grateful.
A review Of the Brainerd convention
would not be complete without ref
erence to John p. Dahin of the Cigar
makers union, residing in Brainerd.
Mr.. Dahin is one of the original labor
men in that city. It was he who gave
many days and nights to promote the
movement in its infancy there, and
the convention as mark Of apprecia-
tion gave him seat as fraternal
delegate from the State Blue Label

of Brainerd, won the hearts of the del
egates by giving to each souvenir.
They were exceptionally pretty and
will be kept by the delegates for many
days to come.

Saltwater on the second Monday in
June, 1906. Here is hoping that it
