WHAT 1T WOULD BE.
Similar Institutions Would IrreparabIy
Iniure This City.

The Lincoln Evening News, refer
ring to the contemplated increase in
the capital stock of the Lincoln Over
all and Shirt Co., says:
IF Lincoln had hundred similar
enterprises it would be the metropolis
of Nebraska and one of the most pros
porous cities in the land
Nothing could be further from the
truth. If Lincoln had hundred such
institutions it would soon be city of
tenements, sweat shops, child labor
and underpaid female labor. 1t would
degenerate into a city of squalid
homes, hopeless and unorganized
worllmen and workwomen and children
robbed of playtime on the one side,
and a few millionaires and palaces on
the other. The mere fact that the
Jones factory is paying dividends does
not signify that it is helping build up
a city.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

A few days ago the Lincoln Evening
Star had an editorial on the recent di-
vorce of Chewing Gum" White which
deserves the hearty appreciation of
every lover of fair play. White d.
vorced his wife in order to marry
younger and doubtless fresher woman
The fact that his wife had worked just
as hard as he to accumulate the for
tune he is credited with having mat
tered not to White. When they started
out in the chewing gum business the
wife remained at home and stirred the
stuff over red hot stove while the
husband was out selling the batch
just made. But when White became
a millionaire he lost his love for the
woman who had toiled by his side
through the weary years, and he pro-
ceeded to get rid of her, having been
captivated by the charms of a society
dame. The esteemed Star roasted"
White to crisp brown, as was very
proper.
But why should the esteemed Star
OSlNeSll tlGSe idSClNlOuS
millionaires? About two years ago a
very similar case was brought to light.
Another wife who had toiled alongside
her husband through days of adversely
and helped to win a big fortune, was
thrown into discard by her husband
in order that he might wed young
and blooming stenographer. True, the
wife in this case brought suit for the
divorce, and she did it because her
husband treated her with extreme cru
city. He fairly forced her to apply
for divorce so he could wed the
charming stenographer whose bloom
had not been withered by toll and trial.
But although this case was as bad, or
worse. than the White case, we failed
to see anything in our sprightly and
esteemed contemporary about it, save
little three line Associated Press
dispatch discreetly hidden away on an
roast" in this instance. Perhaps the
Star was not then quite so strenuous
in it's advocacy of marital Justice. Or
perhaps there was another reason. We
are of the opinion that the case OF
Chewing Gum" White was not one
whit worse than the case of Grape
Nuts Post, but while the Star threw
a spasm of virtuous rage in the case
of the chewing gum man it neglected
to say a word about the grape nuts
man.
We claim that the Stars course is
unjust to the chewing gum man. Clear
ly he had right to believe himself
entitled to as much consideration as
the grape nuts man. Surely the fact
that the chewing gum man is not an
extensive patron of newspaper count
ing rooms has nothing to do with the
case. We confess that our esteemed
: contemporary discrimination aston
ishes and perplexes us, and it would
give us great pleasure to have il ex-
plain.
Why the discrimination?

Why the discrimination?
1T DEPENDS ON YOU!

Mr.. workingman, it depends on you
whether the labor candidates for the
legislature, Smith and Quick. are cleo
ted. If every craftsman and laboring
man in Lancaster county votes for
them, their election is assured. By
craftsmen and laboringmen we mean
those who toll for daily wage.
But ir-is not enough that you vote
for them. Yos-uwust work for them.
The larger their pre~the more en-
phatic the noticeeWa lie old party
bosses that the laborU!ote must be

reckoned with. If Smith and Quick
are elected it will not again be neces-
sary for delegation of laboring men
party and beg them to recognize labor
in the makeup of the ticket.
Not much, Mary Ann!
Just elect Smith and Quick, and the
convention is called you'll find the
bosses hustling around to ascertain
what the laboring men want in the
way of representation.
o, you'll get a protective tariff or
free trade, or spelling reform or di-
vided railroad ownership, Or lot of
other things that don't amount to 4
tinker's anathema to you personally,
if you keep right on voting the old
party tickets straight. No question
about that. And as laboring men you
will get something else, too. And
you'll get it right in the neck, too.
Just where you deserve it as penalty
for your shortsightedness.
But if you'll go to scratching like
an old hen with one chick: if you'll
show the party bosses that you don't
care a whoop for the party machine;
If you'll vote for your own interests
ones-if you'll do these things once
or twice you'll get something worth
while.
Ever see the capitalistic class di-
vide it's vote?
Ever see the corporations fighting
each other at the polls?
Ever see the employers fighting each
other on election day?
Nay, nay, Paulina.
They stick together like beeswax
They may make a noise like political
debate. but on election day their little
old ballots bear the ''X' in identically
the same places.
But now about the workingmen?
0, they'll divide their vote on par
itisan lines. OF course. They'll whoop
lit up for the grand old republican par
ty, or. the good old democratic party
as the case may be, and while the
scheming capitalists and corporations
and employers are Juggling off the
fruits of the victory the laboring men
can holler their heads off about the
glorious victory we won:'
o, Rats!
o, Fudge. Likewise, o, Hello!
Let's get wise some time. Let's try
voting together just for change. Let's
take example from the other fellows.
Now let's go to the polls on election
day and instead of electing the emf
neht gentlemen nominated by the
other fellows to look after their inter-
ests, let's vote for couple OF obscure
workingmen nominated to look after
our interests. If elected they'll do it,
for our interests happen to be their
interests.
Let's get wise some time. Let's try
voting together just for a change.
Let's take example from the other fell
lows.
Let's make the election of Smith and
Quick certain, thus making future rep
