that is lQye-and the love light that lies within
that mothers eyes tell that at least is truth.
The father, ready to sacrifice his all for the
future of his boy, tells that is love;- and
know that he speaks one who feels and, feel
ing knows.
The maiden knows that love is described in
that picture where:
"A warrior SO bold, and virgin so bright
Conversed as they sat on the green
They gazed on each other with tenderest delight,
Alonzo the Brave was the name of the knight
The maidens the Fair Imogene."
The manly lad with the first touch of down
on his lip knows what love is when turning to
the sweetheart of his youth, he says:
IF you become nun, dear,
The bishop Love will be;
The cupidS every one dear!
Will chant-We trust in thee
One poet tells Love is madness, love is
Sadness; another that it is "The sweetest Joy,
the widest woe." One grown crusty in bachelor
hood calls it "a deluson and snare;" and a
hopeless one declares Love is the tyrant of the
heart; it darkens reason, confounds discretion;
deaf to counsel it runs headlong course to des-
perate madness"
But the biliousness of the poets and the cyni-
csm of the Respondent can not affect the views
of the man who has walked by loves side walked
by loves side when he gathered the myrtle with
Mary; walked by loves side when he led to the
altar the girl of his choice; walked by loves side
the cradle of the first born to that holy union;
walked by loves side-and held within his
trembling grasp loves firm hand-by the little
grave in which was centered that common inter-
est which binds two hearts closer than any mar
rlage vow yet spoken by priest
We know that when the maid and the lad,
the mother and the father, and the friend have
spoken they have told us of love-and that that is
love- indeed! But all these are but representa-
tive of the real thing-the out-cropping in particu-
lar individuals of that which was to affect all in
dividuals; the triumph in particular quarters OF
that which to dominate in all quarters; the
hint-strong and beautiful, but mere hint never
theless-of that great truth of truths which
Disraeli described "The principle of existence
and it's only end
Keeping Christmas in the heart a rule of
life rather than mere holiday pastime 1t will
not be necessary when the children come in" for
us to brush tn dust off clothes an shake
hands pretindin it all fun" Then "the chill
drens season" will last the year round; then the
will be full of music; the world will be full of
flowers; life will be full of hope-because the
hearts of men full of love.
The world is not growing worse as some OF
the disconsolate would have believe. 1t is
growing better and there flows, at this moment,
from the hearts of men more of the milk of hu-
man kindness than at any other time in the his
tory of the world. What if meanness and oppres-
sion are revealed? The very revelation shows
the power of public opinion; and shows, also,
that the trend of mems thought is upward. What
if doctrinaires complain that men are becoming
Indifferent to the details of creeds? That is be-

Still Harping About
That Labor Fair

who tries to dictate to The Wage
worker because it or he happens to be
a subscriber, is going to be the victim
of rude shock. The position of The
Wageworker is well known to the
unions subscribing for it, and those
who do not subscribe for it are wei
come to think what they blamed
please. But if they think the editor
of The Wageworker is a ''grafter" they
ought to be manly enough to make the
charge openly and not sneak around
behind the bush to do it.
The Herald says it regrets the fail
ure of the fair" 1t need not waste
time in idle tears. The fair was fin
neat sum of money. Again the Her
aid says: "The Herald understands
there is financial shortage as a re-
suit of the fair, and that it is likely to
fall on the publisher of The Wage
worker" We take immense pleasure
in correcting the misunderstanding of
the Herald. There is no financial
shortage. On the contrary there is a
neat balance in the treasury of the
Central Labor Union as a result of the
fair, and the publisher of The Wage
worker loses nothing but the time he
devoted to trying to make the fair a
success. His only regret is that the
fair was not more successful from a
financial standpoint.
Perhaps it would have been better
and fairer, If the editor of the Herald
had interviewed Mr.. Maupin before
writing at such length upon the fair.
We believe the editor of the Herald
meant to be fair and impartial, and we
cheerfully give him credit for being
honest in his motives. But a very
short talk with Mr.. Maupin would have

WHAT UNIONS DO.
Help the Non-Unionists to Better
Things of Life.


John P. Altgeldt once said: Every
time union labor achieves a victory it
not only raises the standard of the
union men, but of the non-unionists,
who receive the benefit of all that
union labor receives" Every time
the non-unionist takes a strikers job
and crushes union he not only low
ers the status of the union, but him
self and his own family, who must
share the degradation of all labor But
few working men are capable of stand
ing upon their own bottom during
these days of mad commercialism.
Merit is forgotten in the terrible race
for wealth. A workingman may be
ever SO capable, but he will receive
no more wages, except in extraordin-
airy cases, than his employer is will
ing to give him. The amount usually
depends upon the size of the employ
er's conscience. This is where the
value of trade union is manifested.
1t makes an injury to one the con-
cern of all. Have you ever passed
machinery of the most modern type?
If you have, did you notice how each
piece of machinery was dependent up
on the others? In a shoe factory, for
instance, each machine has its par
ticular work to do. and all of them

packages that will asperse his mo-
revenue only.
Labor unionists are always suspi-
cious. They have been the victims of
SO many fakirs and fakes that the mo-
ment a man of their rank becomes
conspicuously active, he is looked up
on as having an ak to grind, particu-
larly if he is the editor of labor pa-
per. Mr. Maupin does not seem to
realize the delicacy of his position or
else he would not have undertaken a
labor fair and mourning now that it
was failure and in a fair way to
cost him a neat sum, individually.
The Herald regrets the failure of
the fair. Though not a member of
any union at this time, a long life of
unionisni gives me the most kindly
feeling and a real interest, in union
ism of the genuine character and I
regret any failure of unionism where
directed to a legitimate purpose.
UniOnism means more than high
wages, short hours and union label.
1t means brotherhood, cooperation in
stead of strife and antagonism, it
means education, elevation and the
bettering of the laborers social condi-
ton. 1t ought to mean, above all union
at the ballot box, but in this 1t has
thus far signally failed. While Lin
coin is strong in unionism the Herald
would like to see more harmony pre-
vail; more interest, more general
good feeling and less scabbing at the
ballot box. Pardon this seeming
boost, but the Herald household is
the best unionist in the community.
We pay the union scale for all labor
we give out, have no scab prices on
advertising and when it comes to the
ballot box we cast our vote in favor of
giving to the lahorer all he produces,
which can only be attained by the
adoption of co-operattQ ion az sa0aielisn
The Herald understands there ii q
financial shortage as a result .of the
fair and that it is likely to fall on the
publisher of the Wageworker. We
trust the union boys will cease to
question the honesty of any ones in
tentions connected with the fair, put
/ away all criticism along the line OF
mismanagement, put their shoulder
to the wheel and pull out the shortage
turn their faces hopefully to the future
give the white winged dove of peace
an opportunity to settle down to bust
ness and let the tomahawk be buried

The Wageworker calls especial at
tention to the article, Keeping

pears in this issue. 1t was written by
Richard L. Metcalfe, associate editor
of the Commoner, and reproduced by
courtesy of that publication. 1t Is
written in Mr.. Metcalfe's best vein
the vein that shows him at his best,
and no one can read it without being
bettered. BY the way, none Of US is

SUCCESS OF HIGH DUES.

The United Hatters of America is
one of the most remarkable labor or
ganizations in the country. Its Off
GERS state that its success dates from
the time 1t adopted high dues. Every
member pays 8 per cent OF his earn
ings into the union treasury. Two per
cent goes to the international union,
while per cent is used for local ex-
renses. There are 5000 members in
the union out of $4,000 engaged in
the business in North America.-Piano

The labor fair which was on at the
auditorium last week was considerable
of failure so far as patronage and
interest on the part of unionists was
concerned Many unionists seemed to
labor under the impression that the
fair was a scheme of graft inaugural
ed by the publisher of the Wageworker
and thus much patronage and moral
support was withheld. The Herald be-
lieves this was a mistaken idea. We
understand there is some feeling
among unionists against Mr.. Maupin
Of the Wageworker because of his
constant efforts to push himself to the
front and his burning desire to lead,
but we do not believe he is a CRATER,
and take pleasure in doing what lit
tie we can to dispel this idea
While it is always commendable in
a man to endeavor to get to the front
and reasonable ambition is always
laudable, Mr.. Maupin does not seem
to have learned that the editor of a
labor paper is one who is debarred to
these privileges, while anything even
remotely bordering on of11ciousness
affords most excellent and wieldly
club for the knocker. And there are
many reasons for this condition of af-
fairs. When the unionists, individu-
ally or collectively, subscribe to the
maintenance of labor paper, they
feel that the editor thereof is their
hired man, and should do their bid.

A GOOD START.
Musicians Should Get Busy Now and
= Organize a Local.

The musicians of Lincoln-those
who believe in unionism-ought to
get busy at once and organize local.
There were enough in the labor fair
orchestra to complete an organization
with a little work, and they owe it
to themselves and to unionism to Or
ganize. There ought to be a strong
Musicians Union in Lincoln. This
city ought to have first-class union
orchestra and a f1rst-class union band.
An orchestra made up of union mu-
sicians will get lots of work, and it's
a cinch that hereafter there will be
no non-union bands in Labor Day pa
rades. Get bsuy, you musicians! You
have a good start.
