cipal part of the product of the toiler's
toll.
What lot of glittering fools We
were to let Baer and that outfit get
hold of all the coal lands-coal lands
that God made for the equal enjoyment
of all the people But we did, and now
we are paying Baer for the blessed
privilege of mining and burning the
coal that really belongs to us. and Baer
actually thinks he is public benefac-
employment by which they can earn
a living. And a lot of fool working
men, too, think they ought to be
thankful to Baer for being allowed to
work in the mines.
Same way with our iron mines, our
copper mines, our forests and our ave
nues of transportation. Very foolishly
we traded them off because we thought
we had to do it in order to have some
thing to work at to support our fami-
lies.
For the privilege of being allowed to
work we have given away practically
everything - and in return we were
handed something that belonged to us
all the time-the right to toll The
only difference is that now, instead of
enjoying the fruits of our labors we
merely enjoy about one-fifth of them,
and the fellows who hoodwinked us
enjoy the other four-fifths and laugh
while we do the work.
The right to work. 1t is our natural
right, and no man has right to deny
it to us. Every mine in the country
ought to be owned by the people and
operated for their benefit-not the ben
eft of few. Every line of transpor-
tation ought to be owned by the peo-
pie and operated for their benefit.
Socialism? No; just horse sense.

THE RIGHT TO WORK.

Some men think they deserve credit
when they offer a man employment.
1t is that spirit which makes men self
ish
Every man has a right to work-a
God-given right. The trouble with the
present generation is that it has got
its habits on crooked Instead of 1t
being possible for every man to work,
work is doled out by self-constituted
masters of labor.
And men who must depend upon the
labor of their hands and brains are
responsible for this bad order OF
things. They have permitted few
men to gather into their own hands
the means of production. and before
they will let man work they insist on
having toll in the shape of the prin

he didn't care whether he built to the

cided that the park would be all right

has built to the park. 1t now wants
to build east on N street, aiming for
the State Farm and the fair grounds,
and Mr.. Scudder comes to the front
and asks that the Citizens Co. be
estopped and that he be given the right
to use n street.
This n street matter will be
| threshed out at the council meeting
next Monday night. The Wageworker
believes it voices the desire of every
citizen of Lincoln who is not financial
ly interested in the Scudder Co when
| it says that the council ought to throw
out the Scudder petition and give the
Citizens Co. the right to extend its
lines east on n street, and on every
other street suitable on consideration
| to be determined after a fair hearing.
| The people of Lincoln are rejoiced to
the impudent rule of New York man
whose only interest in Lincoln is to
get the money They have submitted
to rotten service, archaic cars, hope
less trackage and spirit of unfair
ness until their patience is exhausted.
The Citizens Co. promises them the
relief they have SO long sought. and if

to pull Traction Co. chestnuts from
the fire.
| If the Citizens Co. is allowed to
make the extensions it promises, it
will give the people of all parts of the
city a good service-far better than
anything the Traction Co. has ever
given. And a decent car service is
what the people of Lincoln want, and
what they are going to have.

We saw him the other day. He wore
a suit of overalls made in Lincoln by

them because they were cheaper than

He had plug of Horse Shoe" in

He was smoking Henry George"

that brand and he wouldn't change to

He wore '.scab" hat because he
was afraid that labeled hat would

he could get that kind cheaper than

Under one arm he carried Il Lee

ably would have to walk a block or
two extra to find union made broom.
He had read that coffee affects the
heart, so he was carrying a package
of Postum in one hand and had a
package of grape nuts" in one pock-

Despite all this, the man carried a
union card, and he can talk louder

OF course a convict made broom is
cheaper than one made by free labor.
But is that any reason why the wife of
a union man should buy it? Let her

The condition of unrest among the
boilermakers at the railroad shops In
Sparks, who are demanding an increase
of wages based upon the conditions
surrounding them, and the fact that
regardless of what the wages are In
other shops the wages paid here
should correspond with the cost OF
living, which is placed at Sparks and
Reno as being much higher than in
any other part of this broad country,
leads to the inquiry why this is true?
Ii has been the policy Of the railroad
company to maintain for these locaii-
ties a freight rate which is one OF the
leading reasons for living being so high,
and that it is SO goes without question.
and that the mechanics are justified in
their demand for higher wages is also
a question without argument. Still we
believe that there are some things
which could be adjusted aud the living
made cheaper in these communities and
not be charged entirely to excessive
freight rates. The system OF licensing
every business and avocation. for the
purpose Of raising revenue, instead OF
getting it by direct taxation. thereby
making the railroads pay their just
preparation of the expense of govern
ment, is one Of the things that adds
very materially to the cost of living in
these communities. Every dollar ex-
acted from the grocer, baker. butcher
and merchant is Immediately added to
the costs Of the goods to the consumer.
and the same profits are exacted as if
no license was exacted? Then why not
do away with this iniquitous system Of
license for evenue instead Of regular
taxation. Let the City Councils Of
both Reno and Sparks try it once and
see if it will not materially aid the Sit
uation in both communities The n
great lever which clogs the progress OF
Reno. more than any other n thing.
is the excessive cost of living in the
community.
