greeted at the landing naval station
by Captain Rhorer, commandant of the
station and his staff, the marines be-
ine draw up in honor of the secreta-
ry.
After these ceremonies the naval alr
thorities turned the party over TO
Lieutenant Colonel Bailey of the Porto
Rico provisional regiment and his
staff. A large crowd had gathered
outside the naval station, having wait
ed many hours TO see Secretary Root,
and the houses in the vicinity were
filled with spectators Secretary Root
drove in the executive carriage to the
palace, escorted by the regiment Mrs.
Root, the secretary's son and daughter
and the higher military authorities
came in other carriages. Tie secre.
tary reviewed the police from the bal.
cony of the palce.
A number of prominent citizens were
awaiting the secretary in Governor
Winthrop's office. After an exchange
of greetings Secretary Root spoke OF
the relief work he directed in Porto
Rico as secretary OF war after the hur
rlcane of 1899. The talk then turned
to coffee planting.
Referring to the Panamerican con
gress Mr.. Root expressed the opinion
that the next congress would be he'll
in the Argentine Republic, and adde'
| that II such a congress were ever hell
in American territory Porto Rico would
be the most suitable place.

THE ANNUAL HOLD-UP.
Saloon License Remonstrances That
Are Not on the Square.

The annual hold-up of the saloon
men is now in progress. OF course
not all of the remonstrances filed
against the issuance of saloon licenses
are designed for hold-up purposes, but
it is an open secret that some of them
are. Rather than have license held
up for a week or two, and maybe with,
held altogether, the applicant pays the
remonstrator a few dollars and the re-
monstrance is withdrawn. The differ
ence between this and holding a man
up at the point of pistol at the en-
trance tc an alley on a dark night is
too almighty little for the average man
to grasp.
Many of tho remcnstrances are filed
in good faith, but every now and then
one is filed for the sole purpose of maxi
ing little easy money. There are
some lawyers who are not above play
ing part in this hold-up game The
excise board would do we'll to insist
on an explanation every time a remon-
STRANGE is withdrawn II might result
in conviction of blackmail before
long.

STRIKING DEMONSTRATIONS


Making Coffee by Electricity While
You Are Waiting.
At the salesrooms of the Lincoln Gas
and Electric Light Co. are being given
daily demonstrations of coffee making
by electricity. The process is almost
instantaneous and is done by percola-
ton. The result is that the very best
of the coffee is extracted, the coffee
has an unusually fine flavor, and stale
coffee is an impossibility. Mrs. Meyer
has charge of the demonstrations and
is hourly surrounded by an interested
crowd of spectators.
At the same time demonstrations
are being given of the new elevated
oven ranges, which are such wonder
full labor savers. In this range the
oven is overhead and may be reached
without stooping-a feature that will
appeal to every housewife The range
has other features that will be doubly
attractive, and Mrs. Meyer will gladly
point all of them out to visitors. Droo
in and sample the electrically made
coffee and see the improved gas range
at work.

SOAK EN- PLENTY,

A local evening paper demonstrates
with the local ice manufacturers be-
cause the latter have decided to take
advantage of the ice famine Our
evening contemporary is wasting time.
The ice manufacturers have a practi-
cal cinch and they are going to take
advantage of il. The mere fact that it
is highway robbery under another
name makes no difference. The peo-
pie must have ice. The ice makers
control the only source of supply.
Your money OF your life," declares
the highwayman. Your money or no
ice," shouts the ice manufacturer. IF
you don't want to pay for the ice, dom
take it." There you are.
The ice men have got the people
where Caleb had the hen, and the peo-
pie will either have to pay the price
or go without the ice. The mere
fact that ice long ago ceased to be a
luxury and is now necessity has no
bearing on the case. The poor may
suffer, the sick may die, but the ice
makers have an opportunity to make
big stake-so tell with the people.
A labor union demands an increase
in the wage scale, and Immediately
people begin talking about the AFRO
CANT and anarchistic labor unions. The
ice makers take advantage of a condi-
ton and screw up the price 70 per
cent, and that is merely good bust
ness judgment"
1t all depends upon the point of view.
In the meanwhile you can make up
your mind to be held up by the ice
man or go without ice.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-04-06

Tertiary, and within three years An
drews was pardoned. The same year
that Andrews was sentenced Wis.
consin postoffice robber was sentenced
to ten years, and there has been no
move made to secure his pardon.
A federal judge in Omaha sentenced
Richards and Cummins to pay a fine
of $500 each and serve six hours in
the custody of the United States mar
shall for stealing 212,000 acres of the
that same federal Judge sentenced to
six months in Jail and fine of $1,000
private in the United States army
who had stolen from the government
storehouse brass bugle worth per.
haps IS.
In Omaha a federal Judge issued an
order restraining lot of union men
from comforting together to advance
the cause of their union, and that in
junction still stands, to violate it
the guilty workingmen. In Chicago a
federal judge decided that lot OF
packers could conspire together to adj
vance the selfish interests of their
business, and that if charges were
brought they would have to be against
the corporate and not against the
individuals. And yet eevry sane man
knows that a corporation can not be
imprisoned.
Evidences of favoritism on the part
of the courts is so overwhelming that
he who can not see it must be either
blind as bat or willingly subservient
to corporation control. The injunction
against the worlingman is enforced to
the limit; the Injunction against the
corporation is violated with impunity.
The rich criminal gets off with a light
sentence and speedy Communication; the
poor devil is given the hint and u.s.
ually forgotten.
Mr.. Howard is right. Judge Hum
phrey is a greater anarchist than John
Most ever was. Federal judges of the
HumphreyJackson stripe are doing
more to breed anarchy than all the
red literature and incendiary
speeches of the agitators. The federal
courts possess and WELD a power that
is as foreign to our free institutions as
righteousness is to Satan. The power
must be curbed if the republic is to be
maintained.

THE PRINTERS.
Spend Their Time Revising the Con-
stitution and Bylaws.


Most of Lincoln Typographical
Unions time at the meeting last Sun
day was spent in the work of revising
the constitution The attendance was
unusually small, but those present en-
tered on the work with zest and the
parliamentary law quoted was some
thing fierce. The work was left un-
finished and will be the first order OF
business at the May meeting.
The May meeting promises to be q
hot one On that date nominations
will be in order for officers for the en-
suing year and for delegates and alter
mates to the international convention
at Colorado Springs. There promises
to be multiplicity of candidates for
delegate.
During March the local union sent
about $500 to the International to
prosecute the elght-hour fight. The
total amount paid in by Lincoln union
printers Appropriated 5000.

THE CLOSE OF VOLUME TWO.

With this issue The Wageworker
closes it's second year of existence.
One hundred and four times this little
paper has made it's appearance. and
it has not skipped an issue. One hun
dred and four times it has made it's APP
pearance to talk unionism and advance
the cause OF organization. Doubtless
The 'Wageworker has made some mis-
takes. Perhaps it has been little rad
ical on some things, and perhaps it has
not been strict enough on other things.
But 1t has done what it deemed it's duty
to do, and it. has neither apology to offer
nor explanation to make. 1t has made
host of friends Of whom it is proud
and it has made few enemies for
which 1t doesn't care whoop. 1t has
been supported perhaps as well as 1t
deserved to be, and damned by few
who haveAa wholesome fear of it's in
dependence 9sai!i
The Wageworker is not the first
labor PAPER established in Lincoln
Something like six or seven other pa
pers ostensibly published in the inter-
ests of organized labor have made
their appearance in Lincoln. They did
not last long, the reason not being far
to seek The Wageworker has studi-
ously avoided getting into partisan
politics. 1t has held aloof from cliques
and factions. 1t has been absolutely
independent, and it has recognized but
one line of duty-unionism in it's best
and broadcast sense.
To the staunch union men who have
stood by-''fhe Wageworker and made
it's continued publication possible, the
editor returns his hearty thanks. TO
the eminent gentlemen who have sup
porteI The Wageworker by subscrib-
ing for it lust to help the paper" but
have never paid a cent, the editor also
returns his thanks. Moral support is
often very good, even If it does not pay
printing bills. To everybody, all and
singular, collectively and individually,
