man citizens OF south east Bates,
was a pleasant caller on Tuesday.
He Is interested In the river drainage
project and came up to interview the

At the burial OF Miss Laura Kirk.
patrick last Wednesday. the burial
canvas, contracted by the Ladies
Cemetery Association, was used for
the first time. 1t was a raw day, and
the canvas completely protected the
mourners and friends from the incle-
ment weather. 1t is q we'll known
fact that exposure at burials, where
gentlemen remove their hats and la.
dies leave their conveyances and
gather around the grave, are the
cause OF many severe colds and fire.

Of protecting the mourners is most
laudatory and adds one more to the

Crowell Publishing Co. is hostile to
the only force that has ever accom-
plished anything in the way of abolish
ing child slavery-the labor unions.
The Woman's Home Companion has
no place in any union home 1t is not
worthy the confidence of those who.
while not unionists, are still seeking
to abolish child slavery. Its pretenses
are false, its friendship for the chill
dren sham, and its proposition for
clubbing a gold brick that will catch

PAPA CARRIED HIM.
Solution of Mystery That Puzzled the
"Mate of the Brig"

/, Mrs Frank A. whose hus-
band edits the Omaha Western, La
borer-writing of her visit to South
Cheyenne Canon, says:
Now, of course, after you have made
yourself miserable by climbing the
steps at Seven Falls you are SO light
headed or crazy you must go to Helen
Hunt Jackson's grave. Everybody
does and as it is customary to place a
stone on this ever-increasing stone pile
you have to hunt long time for peb-
bles, as all the small stones have been
carried up there long ago. On the
trees along the trail are hundreds of
cards of would-be famous climbers
myself included) and to our surprise
and amusement we found a small card
bearing the name of Richard Metcalfe
Maupin," who attended the /. T. U.
convention at Colorado Springs in Au-
gust. Dick" was the handsomeSt,
soberest chap at the convention and
all the ladies were in love with him,
and were profuse in their attentions
to the young man. But how on earth
Richard Metcalfe Maupin got up to
Helen Hunt Jackson's grave is a mys-
terry to us all for he is only four
months old and we know he didn't
walk.

The editor has made it a point to
smoke union made cigars for several
years something like eight or ten
and nine out of ten that he has smoked
during the last five years have been
made in Lincoln. And he has paid
for them, too. If any local manufac-
turer ever sent him box of cigars
the messenger delivered them to the
wrong party.
But we'll keep right on booming the
use of union made cigars, and espe-
cially those made in Lincoln. They're
all right; just as good as cigars made
elsewhere, and better than most of
them And every time you buy Lin
coin made cigar you are helping to
make Lincoln bigger and better city.
The editor of The Wageworker may
be reached at 1916 G street, or Room l,

A LUCKY EDITOR.
Gets Patronage and Also Recooaitio
in Other Ways. - 7

1etS patronage ana ALSO AeC001Nb4n
in Other Ways ~
The editor of the New Orleans 1tus-
nal of Labor seems to be lucky .indi-
vidual. A union cigar manufacturing
firm not only carries a large display
advertisement in the Journal of La
Dor but also performs little stunt
that called for the following from the
editor:
1.-The Editor takes occasion to thank
the Valloft & Dreux Co. for a box of
these cigars which they sent around
for smokers, and takes occasion to add
that they are the finest 5 cent cigars
from point of quality as are found
anywhere, convincing us that Union
labeled cigars are to be made as good
as other brands, and the quality of
these are even better than non-union
made cigars"
That sounds good away up north
in Nebraska. The Wageworker has
spent lot of time and space in boost
ing the sale of union made Lincoln
cigars, and up to date it has not had
enough advertising from the local
firms to pay for the ink on the paper.

NOT BY A MILL SITE.

The Crowell Publishing Co. is a

Not by mill site!
The Woman's Home Companion is
just now posing as the official organ

Wouldn't that inflame your appen-

An anti-union, long-hour-day, "scab''

slaves. 1t would make the gods laugh
were it not for the fact that it is cal
culated to make them swear.
The Womans Home Companion
doesn't give a tinker's darn for the
child slaves. 1t has suddenly realized
that the crusade against child slavery
is a winner and it sees therein a
chance to secure lot of advertising
and boom in it's subscription. The
opponent of child slavery who is in
ell publication because of its posing
as friend of the little ones, will have
good grounds for suit for obtaining

HAVE YOU READ 1T?

For several weeks The Wageworker
Arms" 1t Is not an anarchistic pro-
clamation. 1t has no reference to mus
kets and swords and bombs. 1t does
not hint at bloodshed or rapine. 1t is
merely a proclamation from the Off
Gals of the American Federation of
Labor calling upon union men every
where to quit being political suckers"
and to get into the political game right.
If you have not read the call" it is
merely an evidence that you have been
neglectful of your duty. If you have
been neglectful, now is good time to
cure that neglect by reading this SEN
sible, calm and eminently. fair present
alton of labor's position. If you read
it and do not realize your duty as a
union man and as a citizen, it is evil
dence that you are entirely too parti-
san to be either good unionist or a
good citizen. The rank partisan can
not be model citizen. The man who
boasts that he never scratches his
ticket" merely boasts that he is just
an ordinary "damphool."
We want you to read "Labor's Call
to Arms" because it will do you good,
and it will also do the cause of labor
good. Best of all, it will do the coun-
try good if the reading is followed by
intelligent action. We are going to
print this call" right up to the time of
election, and we are going to keep
right on urging the union men to read
it.
Now is the time of all times for
union men to make their power felt in
politics. When man tells you that
organized labor has no right to go into
politics, you just investigate and see
what his pull is. He'll have one
somewhere. And if we do not get into
politics as union men, not as ,partisans
we'll never get what's coming to us.

legislature.

Have your union appoint some one To
look after that matter, then let every

to tackle it because you cant write

That's our business.
