Prosperity.

Never before in this country have
the railroads been 80 rushed with
freight as they now are; never have
the harvests been heavier, the yield
OF the mines richer, the factories
buster and all business brisker and
sounder. Never did the Thanks;
giving month come upon greater
prosperity than the american PEG:
pie enjoy today. -
What does it mean to us?
More money, of course, more com.
forts, more pleasures, more free.
dom from worries, more joy in liv-
ing.
The industrious are working; their
way forward and upward. The
thrifty are laying aside a com
petence. Hundreds of thousands
of homes are being built. 1t is a
season rich with hope and achieve
ment.
But what does all this really
mean to us?
Merely more money, more com.
fort. more pleasures. -
Are there no blessings for US in
prosperity beyond the material joys
of easier living?
Alas for us as people if we fail to
see in our bohntiful plenty the re
sponsibility to our better selves
which this prosperity has put upon
us!
Adversely develops great differ
ence in men. Prosperity develops
greater differences still.
Many are glad to seize the fruits
that fall from the cornucopia and
eat, drink and be merry.
Many others store them securely
away where they are of no use to
themselves or anyone else.
And others carefully use them as
means to develop their own minds,
to broaden and sweeten their sym.
pathies; to educate their children,
to lend helping hand to the weak,
to soothe the sorrowins, to make
the home wholesome and happier,
to build schools, hospitals and
churches, to grasp not the joys that
must perish with themselves, but
to create those 1eavening human
forces that shall endure forever.
Wealth itself never advanced hu-
manity single step.
Prosperity that is wholly material
can never truly benefit any people.
1t is but enriched soil in which the
real treasures Of life may be better

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-08-31

\ house divided against itself can
not stand.
Organized labor divided on party
lines on election day can not win the
victory that must be won if the toilers
are ever to come into their own.
We can march in labor parades I'M
til Hades boils down to poultice, but
unless we vote as we march we'll
never purify the bench, get the legis
lauion we deserve, secure the recognI-
ton that must be ours or alter condi-
lions that now so heavily Cypress us.
We march solidly on Labor Day, but
on election day We scatter like a flock
of quail at the sound of the hunters
gun.
That is worse than foolishness-it
is criminal folly.
If We voted as solidly on election
day as we march on Labor Day, we
could observe more holidays.
The curse of the labor movement is
craftsmanship.
There is only one fool equal to the
laboring man who votes the republi-
can ticket just because his father
voted it, and that is the fool 1aboring
man who votes the democratic ticket
just because his father voted it.
An intelligent man who is a party
slave is more to be pitied than the
ignorant black man who was a chattel
slave. The black man could not help
it. The intelligent man could if he
would muster up enough manhood to
break his party shackles.
Are you party slave?
If an employer breaks his contract
with the union he will find himself
with strike on his hands, and the
strikers will be given aid and comfort
by the whole body of unionism.
But political party can break it's
pledges to the workingman without
fear of reprisal. The American work
ingman, with all of his boosted free
dom and independence, has not yet
mustered up enough "spunk" to strike
against party oppression.
The political game is the game that
capital plays to Offset the work of
among workingmen.
Labor Day parades are all right in
their way. We never fail to parade
on that day.
But wouldn't solid election day pa
rade look good?
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-08-31
THE RETURN OF Mr.. BRYAN.

1t is meet and proper that Lincoln
in particular and Nebraska in general
should turn out en- masse to meet and
greet Mr.. Bryan upon his return from
his foreign tour. Mr.. Bryan is not
only the most distinguished citizen of
the state, but he is one of the most
distinguished citizens of the United
States. More than that, he is one of
the worlds few really great men. Bet
ter still, Mr., Bryan is Christian gen.
tleman. His presence is inspiring and
his companionship is uplifting. The
more of such men a community has
the better OF it is.
In extending a warm greeting to Mr..
itself fully as much as it honors Mr..
Bryan. Time was when the narrow
ness of partisanship made it seemingly
impossible for Lincoln to do this great
citizen simple justice. Happily for
Lincoln that time has passed. Lincoln
has outgrown that sort of thing and is
now able to differentiate between par
tisan prejudice and civic pride. There
is no danger that Mr.. Bryan will mis-
take the warmth of his greeting for
conversion to his political views. He
will recognize it for what it is-the
welcome home extended by friends and
neighbors.
Mr.. Bryan is a really great man,
measure him by what standard you
will. Intellectually he is the peer of
any Morally he possesses a record
without stain. Politically he has
never been accused of double-dealing
or crookedness and his name is syn
onym for sincerity of purpose and
honesty of action. AS a citizen he is
a model. AS a neighbor he has won
the love and respect of ALL An an
employer he has shown himself prac-
teal friend of labor, for he observes
the eight hour day in everything where
he employs labor, and union labor is
always insisted upon if there is organ
ization along the lines of the work in
hand.
To use homely phrase, Bryan put
Lincoln on the map 1t is therefore
eminentiy proper that the city should
bestir itself to give this distinguished
citizen magnificent welcome home.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-08-31
LABOR DAY MUSINGS.

Labor Day is labor's great holiday.
1t is the day that worllingmen and
working women knock off work and
enjoy themselves They visit the
parks, ride on the cars, visit and pa
rade.
That is, union labor does. Nom
union labor can not lay off work long
enough. To miss days work means
for the non-unionist, as general
thing, day of hunger. 1t is also an
other day of toll in the sweat shop
where helpless women and children
are compelled to slave their lives away
to satisfy a constituencies employers
greed for gold.
But Labor Day is a great day just
the same. 1t is the day we parade.
What do we parade?
We parade our strength. and our ig-
norance.
We parade our pride and exhibit our
subserviency to traditions.
We march behind blaring bands and
swell up at the applause of lot of
men on the sidewalks who boss politics
and keep the labor vote scattered by
appeals to party prejudice.
OF the thousands who will march
next Monday to show their indepen-
dence and freedom. a majority will be
the meek and willing slaves of party
machines, ready to jump at the crack
of the party whip and vote any old
ticket put up for them by party bosses.
The labor vote is always divided. The
beneficiaries of special privilege never
divide their vote. Money knows no
politics. 1t knows what is best for it
and always votes that way. Labor
and it always divides on partisan lines.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-08-31

The Wageworker makes this politi-

Hearst will be the next governor of

if he lives and there is not a political
cataclySm.

parade next Monday will vote for
Smith and Quick, the union men who
are running for the legislature, union

The republican papers are trying to make it appear that ex-Governor N. O. Murphy has been growing about Mark Smith not being entitled to all the credit for the defeat of the joint statehood bill. We do not believe that MT. Murphy ever indulged in such sentiment. Certainly Mark Smith nor his friends have not at. tempted to claim all the credit for this good work for the delegate. But the fact remains that Mark Smith was able to accomplish as much as the representative of Arizona as could any other man in the territory in the same position. Mark Smith would be the last man to withhold credit to all the Arizonans who went to Washington and assisted in the struggle which meant So much for Arizona.

THE SOUTHWEST.

In the light of history the present remarkable growth of the southwest might have been foreseen, for it was Jhe chosen seat of the earliest Ameri- can approach to civilization, says the Giobe-Democrat. In less than a hun. dred years after the landing of Col srmbus the Spaniards were founding cities as far west as Arizona. Wher. eyer the prehistoric races of America may have come from, they gravitated to the southwest as the best part of the continent, and the Spaniards were attracted in the same direction by what they were told and could see for themselves in exploration. There were special geographical and polit. icai reasons why the people of the United States should have been slow to move in large numbers upon the southwest, and it was natural that the tide of migration should roll along Inc line of least resistance until il reached the Pacific
 But now the southwest is coming to its own. It has single states lar ger than France of Italy, and possibil fties far beyond the range of conjec lure. At the convention in St Louis this week of southwestern commer ciai clubs, the topics to be discussed will have peculiar interest for the en tire country, for this part of the ns tion possesses immense national re sources as yet untouched. It has been said in pointing to the West that there lie the east and India. To the south west are its own states and territor ies on the verge of statehood, Mexico Central America, South America, the isthmian canal, the Gulf leading tC the Caribbean and West Indies. and both the great oceans that are to be closely linked together.
 The southwest contains the elc ments of the truth in empire building that is stranger than romance.

ARE EXPECTING TROUBLE.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, one of the ever-faithfui republican news papers of the country. sees danger in the future and in an editorial regrets the spite work and quibbling now go- ing on in the republican party. This paper thinks that it is no time for allowing personal squabbling to be in- dalged in. AS a warning for 1908 the following is included in the article:
 "An electorate of 15.o00, ,000 in the country. with a correspondingly large distribution of voters in the states must he appealed to by responsible parties on issues that deserve, and often compel. general consideration. Such questions may arise quickly and under unexpected circumstances It was so in the summer of 1896. The democratic party had been over whelmed by defeat in the preceding two years, and it's prospects were at the lowest ebb. But by adopting a new issue and choosing as leader a man who. nationally speaking. had been unknown, and who even gained entrance to the convention in a con- tested delegation, the party made one of the greatest fights in its history, polling immensely its largest vote. Nothing short of phenomenally big vote on the other side averted the sue cess of that surprisingly sudden com. plete change of front in the situation As the country grows, such develop, ments in politics must occur ire. quently. They will call for able party action and united effort. It is idle to guess what shape the next national democratic campaign will take. The drift of things will be indicated in some degree when the next state and congressional platforms are put in the field, yet the main strategy and tao, tics of 1908 may not materialize any sooner before the election than in the year of 1896"

BOOST, SMILE AND HUSTLE.

Under the above head the Morenci Leader takes rosy view of the pros poets for the Clifton-Morenci district. This is the oldest copper district in the territory. and the fact that it has been constant producer for more than thirty years is sufficient to war rant the prediction that other prop critics will come into prominence with systematic and persistent develop ment Besides the work done by .be old producing companies there has beer but little effort put forth in the district Says the Leader:
 Since the first of the present year the Morenei-Clifton district has been engaging the attention of mining men from all over the country, and during ihe past few weeks many engineers of note have visited the district in which are located the three camps of Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf. The object or their visit was the investi. gation of the great ore deposits that are continually being uncovered by industrious prospector and small com panies now in possession of the ground Many of these companies have been industriously engaged iu working their known deposits without any great amount of noise. but always towards the one end of getting ct the ere Their success has excited the interest of capital from the outside and their iabors and industry bid fe;i so meet the reward it is entitled to.
