RETAIL CLERKS WHINING.
Ask the Ministers to Help Them Get
Shorter Saturday.

The Ministers Union of Lincoln has
been asked by the retail clerks to
come to their rescue and help them
get a shorter Saturday After some
six or seven years of acquaintance
with the retail clerks of Lincoln this
action on their part does not surprise
us bit. 1t is just like them to go
whining up to the ministers and ask
the gentlemen of the cloth to do some
thing for them that they ought to
have nerve enough to do for them
selves
big bunch of men-and women
who haven't got nerve enough to as
sert their rights may be expected to
ask somebody to plead for them.
What if the printers had depended up
on the preachers to get the short work
day in the print shops? What if the
plumbers had crawled behind the
skirts of the preachers and asked the
reverend gentlemen to get the eight
hour day for them? How many car
penters would be working the eight
hour day if they had waited for the
preachers to get it for them? How
long would it have taken the brick
layers to get the eight-hour day if
they had waited until the ministers
secured it for them?
1t was just like the ministers to take
up the cause of the clerks. 1t is ma
tural for them to do so-indeed it was
their duty to do so. They would be
almighty poor representatives of the
Carpenter of Nazareth if they refused
to come to the assistance of any man
or woman who tolls. But it does the
clerks no credit that they asked the
ministers to do it. On the contrary
1t is very much to their discredit.
They have their remedy in their own
hands. If they had the nerve to stand
together they could shorten the Sat
urday working day very much more
than an hour. They could shorten it
several hours. In fact, the retail
clerks of Lincoln could. if they would,
secure a half holiday on Saturday
from June 1 to September 1 every

FIT WORK FOR CHILDREN.
Louis r. Post Tells What Is Not Such
Work.

/, Among the insidious excuses for
ought to do useful and remunerative
work Proceeding from this major
premise it is easy to state as the minor
premise that factory work is useful
and remunerative, and then to draw
the conclusion that children ought to
work in factories. But the syllogism
| is chock full of holes. In the first
place, the major premise is all in con-
fusion 1t is not true unqualifiedly,
that children ought to do useful and
lremunerative work. The truth of the
statement depends upon the kind of
work Children ought, truly enough,
do some kind of useful and remun-
erative work; but if we classify use
full and remunerative work we shall
soon see that the kind that children
ought to do is not the kind that the
great factories offer them. While
children ought to do useful and re-
munerative work, the work ought to
be attractive in character, developing
in effect, moderate in amount and mild
| in intensity But factory labor for
children answers to none of those re-
uuirements. 1t is intense, monOton-
Gus, grinding TOLL and it wears out
the body, stunts the mind and para
llyzes the affections. There is vast
gulf between the deadening drudgery
of the factory, to which children are
subjected, and the rational industry
by which they would be stimulated

The First Farmer.

A few years ago Mark Twain
raised a laugh by proposing mon
ument to Adam. But why not? A
good many men, big and little, fam
Gus and obscure, have had monu-
ments raised to their memory, not
one of whom was so deserving as
Adam. Every man since Adam has
been more or less of an imitator,
and to large extent has found his
path blaZed and his course laid out
for him; but Adam was compelled
to take the initiative and to find out
everything for himself. There were
no seedsmen to advise him what to
plant and how to plant 1t; no farm
ers' bulletins to inform him what to
select and what to avoid, or to give
him an analysis of his soil; nor any
garden publication to direct his feet
in thepaths of horticultural wisdom;
nor any department of agriculture
to help him in his perplexities. He
was the only really original man
who has ever dwelt on this planet;
and while it is true that he enjoyed
the great advantage of having no
neighbor to point the scornful finger
at his failings, and say, 81 told you
So" he nevertheless deserves mon
ument little bit higher and little
bit more imposing than the Pyra-
mids.
