There is nothing lntrinsically improb-
able In the tale. Every army is open
to the danger Of harboring spies, as
Russia's was for years before the out

POSSIBILITIES OF SUNFLowERs

A friend OF the News" Mr.. +. u.
Rees, Jr,. writes from Zurich, switzer-
land. expressing his appreciation of
tho educational articles on the sun
flower and other so-called weeds. He
refers to the fact that the sunnower

gins. The little bush folk come from
all directions to do the harvesting; the
bluejay from the mountains, the black
bird from the rush swamps, the sage
hen from the sage flats, and even the
squirrel and chipmonk, take part In the
prosperous days OF the sunhowor seed
gathering. The fact that the sunnOwer
seed is utilized to sustain animal life
suggests the question whether man
could not also find wholesome nourish-
ment In that seed. Mr. Rees says:
- remember when the Indians gath

But union labor stood by Hearst.
The big cities stood by him, and

who toll stood by him. Mr.. Hearst
should have been elected, and The
Wageworker expected to see him
electd. He made a magnificent fight
against overwhelming odds. He drove
the corrupt element of his own party
away from him. He forced greed and
avarice, graft and corruption to rally
to Hughes in self-defense. This is
not an indictment of Mr.. Hughes, who
is a clean, honest and able man. But
it proves beyond preadventure that
the selfish interests feared Hearst
more than they feared Hughes.

fact that the organs of special priv

THE RAILROAD VOTE.

The railroad men of Lancaster
county fought nobly. They worked
early and late for the election of
Smith and Quick, and they gloried
in the fact. They have learned that
il they are to get what is coming to
them in the way of beneficial legisla-
ton they must work and vote for
men who are interested with them in
getting it. They have cut loose from
partisanship in so far as it affects their
personal interests, and openly an
nounce that they are going to vote
regardless of party in the future. This
is good sign. They have determin-
ed to hurl back into the teeth of their
detractors the lie that they are owned
body and soul by the corporations
they serve.
The Wageworker, as a representa-
tive of organized labor, is proud of
the part the railroad employees played
in the campaign for Smith and Quick.

THE LAWS WE NEED.
Already Written, But Unfortunately
Are Not Enforced.

Speaking at a great labor meeting
in Jacksonville, Fla, recently, Charles
Leidy, a printer candidate for the leg
islature, gave these splendid thoughts
as the closing sentences of his ora
ton:
I'VE need laws, I say-just about
ten laws-a certain ten that I read
when a boy in a noted volume that
lay on my mother's-and your moth
ers- center table. If we should
adopt these ten laws in their spirit we
would save enough court expenses to
run all our municipal, state and ma
tional governments But instead of
these ten laws that occupy less than
a page in the torn and tattered volume
that lay on my mothers and your
mothers center table, we have thous-
ands of pages of a labyrinthian en-
tanglement that can be twisted and
distorted and harlequainted into any
old shape according as the advocate
be cast in the mold of a lawyer or
hodcarrier. Yes, by all means, let's
have a few laws based on the original
ten, and throw away about ten thous-
and based on greed and grub. We
need few laws that everybody can
understand, and don't need burned
cryptographist to decipher.'

Honest Men Can Get Credit Of Any

The clothing on monthly paymenc"

buying it that the average workingmal

clothing dealer will refuse you any
reasonable credit, and you need not
buy on the ''installment plan," paying
a double price for out-of-style clothing.
And double price is about what You

houses must of necessity charge
from bad debts. Usually the sum de-
manded down is sufficient to cover the
first cost of the clothing, and if moth
ing is ever collected in addition the
house loses nothing. All subsequent
payments are clear profit. Out of date
styles and the cheapest kind of fab
RIGS usually mark the stock of these
dealers. But the fascination of wear

lot OF people, and those who are hon.
est enough to pay their bills are COM

who deliberately beat the installment

The regular clothing dealers of Lin

If you have job and have made it

will give you credit. And they sell you
good clothing, made in the latest

1.-THE FIRST RATTLE."

1t was really labor's first battle
in Lancaster county. 1t was not a
winning fight, measured by the mere
election of candidates. But it was a
victory in many ways. 1t proves that
the laboring men are at last awaken
ing to the fact that they must stand
together politically. 1t proves that
the laboring men are arousing to the
fact that they must take their union
ism into politics. 1t will demonstrate
to those who have long ignored labor
that the labor vote is becoming a
force that must be reckoned with.
Smith and Quick have no reason
to regret that they have made the
race In losing the Offices for which
they were candidates they have won
the respect of all men because, of the
waged. They cheerfully offered 10
make a race against overwhelming
odds because they are staunch union
men who are willing to make sacri-
flee in order to advance the interests
of their fellows. They did have right
to expect better support, but they
must feel that their race will prove
that labor is a force that must here
after be recognized in the making OF
political States;
The Wageworker fought the best
fight it could. 1t has not one regret.
1t will fight even harder next time.
All that candidate needs to secure
the support of this paper is to prove
that he is an honest, capable, level
headed, true blue union man--his par.
tisan politics be damned!
Smith and Quick deserve the
thanks of all workingmen for the sac
rifices they have made to advance
the cause of labor.
And the next time, with better or.
ganization, with a more thoroughly
aroused interest, and with more
united front, We'll win, and don't you
forget it.
