Never before In the history OF the great
west and northwest has there been such
a loud and inslstent demand for labor as
il heard at the present time. From the
harvest fields of Kansas to the railroad
camps of Oregon and Wa shington; through
the mining camps OF Colorado and Mon
tana. and out on the stock ranges of the
great plateau; taxing the force of crafts
men, carpenters, electricians. plumbers.
painters and others to the utmost. and
speeding men through all classes of com
mercial and mercantile life this demand,
insistent, earnest. even appealing is heard.
Wages keep pace with the laborer's oppor-
tunity, the men literally fixing their own
price and debating their own hours.
The pertinent questions here are: Is
labor rising in an earnest, honorable, eff
fective way to meet its opportunity. Does
It lay hold upon its opportunity gladly,
cheerfully and with the purpose to give
honest service for a generous wage? Are

Natural and legitimate Result.

NOrK Times Uep).
Mr.. Rosewater's victory in Douglas
county is more sweeping than even the
most sanguine anticipations, being about
two to one. His entire delegation of
eighty-three are elected by about that
amount. There has not been such unanim-
ity in that county since the county was
organized. II is what we anticipated and
predicted. only more so, and the same
sentiment pervades the state with the ex-
ception OF a few counties It could not
we'll be otherwise. All this agitation
against corporations points with unerring
finger TO the man who has been the head
and front OF it for thirty years who has
consistently and insistently made the fight
through good report and i'll report, and
mostly i'll report. The State Journal which
exerts considerable influence in the South
Platte country, has declared TO Mr.. Rose
water and The Omaha Bee. You have been
right all these thirty years and we have
been wrong; while we have In fact been

bravely and consistently fought the bat

most alone. You have been maligned,
aboused. beaten and your life attempted

Edward Rosewater has won the first
round In the fight for senatorial honors.
At the Douglas county republican pri-
maries the entire Rosewater delegation
won out over the Fontanelle ticket with
hands down-the lowest man on the Rose
water ticket running more than 800 ahead
Of the Crounse ticket. BY securing such
an overwhelming victory from the Fonta-
nellie ticket MIR. Rosewater has demon
strated to the major portion of the repub-
licans of Nebraska that he is much stronger
politically and personally today than ever
before.

And then when she was through,
Up spake another lady:

This lady had a sister,
-Four daughters and a son,
And each assumed the dipper

Then she did wet her 'kerchief

Over In Iowa the last republican
county convention on the list is to be
held July IA, which is more than two
weeks in advance of the meeting of
the state convention. This gives ample
time to verify, credentials and to make
mp the roll call by temporary adjust
ment of contests. Here in Nebraska
1t has come to be the custom to hold
county conventions right up to the eve
OF the state convention, leaving, no
period in between to arrange prelimi-
naries. The state convention this year,
for example, is to meet August 22 and
county conventions have been slated
for as late as August 20. The repub-
lican national committee lays down the
rule that delegates to national conYen-
tons must be chosen at least thirty
days in advance and our republican
state organization ought to fix some
time limit of the same kind, requiring
at least a week to intervene between
the choosing of delegates and the meet
ing of the state convention.
