The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-04-26

Lincoln, as a municipality, repre-
sents a business capitalized at over
$15,0OO,00O, and employing nearly TO-,
coo people. 1t takes brains and bust
ness ability of high order to manage
such business. Why not secure a
business man to superintend this vast
business machine? Why pick out a
man who has never made a success
managing his own business and who
would be an experiment? Two years
more of Mayor Brown means two
years more of business administra
ton.

THE CITY ELECTION.

Mayor F. w. Brown, who has served
the city so acceptably for the past
two years, has been re-nominated by
by Mr. Hutton, who was the republi-
can nominee two years ago.
For the same reason that actuated
II two years ago The Wageworker will
urge the reelection of Mr.. Brown. And
in addition to the reason given two
years ago there are added reasons
which are the result of two years of
clean business-like administration on
organized labor is concerned Mayor
Brown has treated it fairly and has
kept every promise he gave to the
union men of the city. He has APP
pointed union men to good office, and
these men have proved their ability
and their fitness for the positions. He
has always been ready to consult with
union men, and has used his best en-
beavers to be of service to them.
But there are better reasons than
these why Mayor Brown should again
receive the support of union men. AS
citizens of Lincoln, proud of their
best interests, the union voters should
RET elect Mayor Brown because he has
made a record never before equalled
by chief executive of this city. Under
int ,sly nd
ward system has been inaugurated, and
this alone should commend him to
every workingman. The rich can HE

every summer, but the mechanic must
remain at home Until Mayor Brown
assumed the office of mayor there had
never been an attempt to provide
grounds for the workingmen and their
and Immediately set about to make
good the omission Because he was a
business man he soon found a way
to do it, and the present city park is
the result of his business acumen
Lincoln is today the best governed
city of it's size in America. OF this
there can be no doubt The saloons
are strictly regulated, and their evils
have been reduced to the minimum
The social evil was never less fragrant
iii the history of the city. The police
force, small in size, is among the best
liz the country, and law and order pre-.
vail. The city's finances are in splendid
shape Why take any chances? A
| mistake may prove to be very ex-
pensive in the near future.
Mayor Brown has made great sac
| rifices for the benefit of the city. The
paltry salary of $1,000 year is no
| inducement to a man like Mr.. Brown.
He sacrifices a great deal more than
that by neglecting his own private
business to give attention to the city's
business. When we can find a sue
cessful business man willing to do
that, why not take advantage of the
| opportunity?
| The Wageworker realizes that May
or Brown has made some mistakes.
He is only human. But his admins
tratiOn has been clean and able The
city has profited immensely by it. Let
us be wise and continue it.

And all men will bow before you and

You can boss the politicians and can

For your starving wife and children

If you steal million dollars you can

And can purchase judge and jury and

You can buy a senate toga and pro-

Other millions to your pockets, while
the people pay the freight.
With the millions you have stolen you

The sun was just rising behind the

east shore the Mississippi was still
dark and gray with night shadows, but
toward the dim line Of Minnesota the
water was liquid crimson.

But had Brother Richard been lacking in ability, or In strength, or in heart in- terest in this work. the greatness of his opportunity would have been the forerunner of the greatness of failure.

 As early as 1902 the auditorium had been planned and tentative beginnings made. The actual completion, however, of that project and the building of the new boarding house, adding largely to the attraetiveness and usefulness of the grounds, has been the work of his administration, and every project for material improvement has received his support and encouragement. And in the more serious business of the camp meeting, in it's spiritual activ- ity, he has been magnifcently real leaedr. No church is more dependent for direction in spiritual things upon it's pastor than Is the camp meeting upon the presiding elder. His ideals, his ambitions and his personal religious experience react upon and shape the program, and the program shapes she meeting. We believe we owe to OUT presiding elder, under divine guidance, the fact that to-day, without loss of spiritual ferYor or evangelstic spirit and purpose, the Plainville camp meet ing is stronger factor in the religious education and in the spirit of aggres- sive Christian service over the entire New Haven district, than at any pre- vious time in it's history.
