send him a Thanksgiving turkey. But
no turkey appeared. The night before
the old colored man
kneeled down and prayed the Lord
to send him after turkey.
And there were turkey feathers all
over that old colored mans back yard
on Thanksgiving morning.
Workingmen have been praying the
to give them needed legis-
lation for years. Next Tuesday let's
just go and get it by electing men who
are as anxious for it as we are.
Three months ago the politicians
laughed at the idea of electing two
men who did not happen to be on the
ticket of the dominant party. Today
they are scared and are admitting the
possibility of electing Smith and
Quick. If workingmen will do their
duty next Tuesday that possibility will
be certainty.
A little more hustling, a little more
independence, little more self-inter
est-and the deed is done. ~
If you don't help yourself, God
knows nobody else will.

THE UNION LABOR FAIR.

1t is as certain as anything mundane
can be-the Union Labor Fair to be
held at the auditorium in Lincoln the
first weed in December. The audi
tcrium has been engaged. Several
have already signified a desire to
make displays. Union men and wo-
men are enthusiastic over the plan.
The project has been launched. 1t
now remains for every union man
and woman to take hold and help
make it glorious success.
No one man, nor one hundred men,
can make it a success. 1t will require
the hearty cooperation of all. All
must "boost" night and day for it..
There are $500 union men and women
in Lincoln and suburbs. If each one
will spend an average of one dollar
in attending the fair and enjoying it's
many attractions, it will mean a clear
profit of more than $500. Wouldn't
that look good as the nucleus of a
Labor Temple Fund?
The campaign will be at an end next
Tuesday, and from now on every effort
of every unionist in town should be
devoted to making the Union Labor
Fair a success. From now on The
Wageworker will be devoted very
largely to boosting" the proposition
along.
Take hold now and boost" If you
are asked to do something to help it
along, don't "renig." Sacrifice little
of your leisure time for the good Of
the cause. Let your pastime for the
next month be the boosting" of this
splendid project.
Every little bit helps"

A STRENUOUS HOWL.
Local Merchants BewaiIing Big Hoist
Of Insurance Rates.

Judging by the howl local mer-
chants are putting up about the threat
ened raise in insurance rates one
might judge that the insurance com.
panies are made up of irresponsible
and anarchistic union men," The raise
is uncalled for, and the merchants are
justified in making a strenuous kick.
Why don't they do like union men
and organize for their own insurance:
Why let a lot of outside grafters hold
them up?
The insurance companies make an
insolent proposition. They say they
must raise their rate about 40 per
cent. After the raise if Lincoln will
spend $4,000 in improving the water
works they will reduce the rates about
Il per cent. Wouldn't that jar you?

THE LAST APPEAL.

This is the last issue of The Wage
worker before election day. 1t is
seized upon as the last opportunity
to present to the workingmen the
necessity of standing together and
giving solid and enthusiastic support
to Smith and Quick, the labor candi-
dates for the legislature.
The Wageworker has refused in this
campaign, as it has in all campaigns
since it was founded, to engage in
partisan politics. When The Wage
worker was started it declared that
all politicians looked alike to it. 1t
sees with the same vision now that
it did one hundred and thirty weeks
ago-for this is the 13Oth issue of this
little labor paper. More than once
The Wageworker has had opportunity
to make temporary gain by opening
it's columns to the claims of partisan
candidates. We say temporary gain"
because that is what it would have
been. Not because it was more honest
than other papers, not because its
editor is more incorruptible than other
labor editors-but because we believe
that it is more profitable, now as we'll
as in the long run, to stand four
square in the interests of labor instead
of playing politics"
The Wageworker has not, and will
not, support any man for Office whose
sole claim is party" The candidates
whom it supports must be concerned
more about the interests of labor than
they are in party policies.
This paper doesn't care rap who is
elected governor, or United States SEN
ator, or congressman this trip. 1t is
not bit interested in ship subsidies,
or tariffs, or freight rates-this year
Of our Lord, 1906. But it does care
who is elected to the Nebraska legisla-
ture, and it Is interested in common
with all worxingmen in securing some
legislation and preventing some legis-
lation, all in this prosperous year OF
1906, A. d.
And it has given to just two candi-
dates it's support-Harry Smith and
George Quick, union workingmen who
are candidates for the legislature. 1t
has been invited to support others
yes, urgently invited. 1t has advo
Gated the election of Smith and Quick
because they stand for everything The
Wageworker stands for, and this little
paper stands for the interests of Ia
Dor. 1t stands for the men who toll
for daily living. SO do Smith and
Quick. If they didn't they would not
have the support of The Wageworker..
The Wageworker now makes last
appeal to workingmen-union and non
union-to stand by the labor candi-
dates for the legislature, Their cleo
ton means the presence in the legis-
lature of two men whose chief aim
will be to secure legislation in the
interests of the workers and to pre-
vent legislation inimical to the work.

This geological singuEarity is really q

the center of the plains Of Grobogana

great emerald sea Of vegetation which
surrounds it gives it that appearance.
The ''isIand" is about two miles in cir

tance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center Of this
geological freak Immense columns Of
soft, hot mud may be seen continually
rising and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands and the again quickly
withdrawn. Besides the phenomenon
Of the boiling mud columns there are
scores Of gigantic bubbles Of hot slime
that fill up like huge balloons ana keep
up series Of constant explosions, the
intensity Of the dctonations varying
with the size of the bubble. In time
past, so the Javanese authorities say,
there was a tall spirelike column Of
baked mud on the west edge Of the
lake which constantly belched pure
stream Of cold water, but this has long
been obiterated, and everything is
now a seething mass Of bubbling mud
