In Mars.
They tell us thel

They tell us there are people up in Mars
What very happy people they must be.
For in a habitation mid the stars
From various veXatlons they'd be free.
For the chances are that trusts are quite
unknown
And that life insurance seeks no gruesome
gains
The octopus has left them quite alone,
Since they use canals instead of railway
trains.
From tariff talk doubt they are exempt,
And maybe they escape the problem
play;
The campaign orator does not attempt
To steal some other fellows boom away.
The trolley does not spider-web a town;
There Is no call for lodging motor cars;
No Wall street sends their values up or
down.
They must be very happy up in Mars!

Shamrock Nv.
From the New York Tribune.

Piucky. unlucky Sir Thomas Upton Is 60
ing to try again. Well, that was quite as
certain as Is the outcome of the 1903 races
for the Americas cup in the minds of most
Yankees. The rule of ''one. two, three and
OUT does not convince Sir Thomas that his
chances of winning back the envied trophy
are no better than those Of turning the At
lantic into pot of tea. But 1T Is reported
that he has a superstition about the number
4, and believes that If he does not win next
summer no Briton will ever put fingers upon
the cup except by courtesy Of the New York
Yacht Club. Whether Sir Thomas Opti-
mism Is really as limited as this report
makes 1t appear we shall not know until
after Shamrock " has drunk the defender s
wake three times IN succession

Simple Honesty.


What this age needs above most things
is simple honesty. 1t should be the sort
which makes two and two equal four,
whether multiplied or added: the sort that
not only abides by the promise, as Wall
street forever prides itself in doing, but
the sort that will not take advantage Of
a weak or uniformed individual to impose
or exact severe terms in trade or agree
ments, the sort that gives an equivalent
of effort, or service, or merchandise, or
gratitude. for that which is received the
sort which forgets self in the discharge
of duty.

Trusts and Prices.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times
The collapse in the market for copper
metal is emphasized by the fall in the gen.
eral price index for September, especially
in metals. The chief exception is in farm
products, a new high price for cotton cloth
having been announced this week. The con-
trast suggests an inquiry for a reason.
None of the trusts has gone into receiv-
ership Their organization and their power
Is the same as when prices were mounting.
The metals copper and Iron are under a
trust organization which is practically per-
feet as compared with the looser organiza-
ton of the cotton trade. Why do the prices
of monopoly products decline while the
prices OF competitive products rise? 1t is
simply because consumption of the one is
declining while 1t is still rising for the other.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Now that most Of the white pines of

BROWNS BUSINESS COLLEGE, 1915
O STREET..

The ignorant person of today is con-
fronted by intelligence. His life is a
warfare of weak ignorance against his
powerful opponent, education. 1t
means not only life of embarrass-
ment but of misery. Not only this, but
an investment in education always
pays the highest rate of interest and
declares a dividend daily, hourly. A
few years ago it was not necessary
for young man to have a business
education. At that time a millionaire
was an Unknown prodGct, but III these
days of millionaire corporations and
complicated business projects, it is an
utter impossibility for the young man
to succeed until he has acquired a
business education. 1t is no longer
possible for him to enter an office as
an apprentice. Business men have no
time to spend with an apprentice, but
demand a trained mind in every one
they employ. To meet this demand
the business college was created,
where the young man receives the
benefits of the training of experienced
men. In selecting a school it is to your
interest to select one conducted by
men who have had actual business ex-
perience. In recommending a school
we know none better than Browns
Business College. No school in the
west is widening its borders with more
positive force than Browns Business
College.

SECURITY INVESTMENT CO., 14s
SOUTH THIRTEENTH ST.

Real property, land improved or I'M
improved, has since and before the
time of Abraham and Lot, been con-
sidered the most secure holding man
or woman can have. The land can
neither be burned up, torn down or
stolen bodily 1t is always worth
something, and upon it one may build
or plant, or in it dig. In this country
not enough stress is laid on the value
of private ownership. The poor man
and the members of that vast throng
who labor for a daily wage would do
well indeed to invest their small sur
plus of earnings in real estate by
means of. small but regular payments
If necessary that time would enable
them to call themselves owners of real
property, instead of these small earn
ings being fritted away in the num-
berless ways which yield slight pass
ing satisfaction, but do not bring sub
stantial returns. In the firm of the
Security Investment Co., the city has
one of the most reliable firms to rep
resent her in this important line of
business. They deal in all kinds of
real estate, choice farm lands in Ne
braska and surrounding states Their
offices are located at 148 South Thir-
teenth street. The officers are r. E.

well conducted. This company has al
ways taken leading part in any
movement that would benefit Lincoln
The lighting facilities of city are of
vital Importance to the community.
This is an enterprise that has de-
manded an immense outlay of money
without at first an immediate return
for the investment, and few cities in
the United States can boast of bet
ter equipped electric light and gas sys-
TEN than is afforded by this company.
This company has been instrumental
in bringing in commercial institutions
from the fact that it supplies excellent
light and gives the people a good quail
ity of gas. Everybody has learned
that gas is the perfect fuel If house
wife once cook with gas it is almost
impossible to get along without it, it
is so clean, SO quickly handled and
gives such steady and perfect heat.
The company set up more stoves in
the last year than in any other two
years of it's history. The people at
large are awakening to the fact that
gas is the cleanest, most economical
and best fuel in the world. This com
pany is growing with the city in every
respect, and, in fact, giving the public

Mr.. Hickman is entitled to as great
a distinction as any business man in

lest grocery establishments in the city,
and is among the best known and most
successful of our merchants. His wide

LINCOLN PAINT G. COLOR COM.
PANY

Unlike great many cities through
out the country Lincoln has no boom
features nor institutions which have
been built up by speculation, nor is
it's growth being forced by hot-house
methods. Our trade expansion in COM
merce and manufactures is being
gained along sound and substantial
lines, and hence, while it may not be
generally known throughout the coun-
try, a few cities of its size can COM
pare with her in this substantial char
acter of her Industrial enterprises. 1t
is the aim of this movement to dem
onstrate the fact more fully and forci-
bly, by endeavoring to place before
wage earners some intelligent and
good reasons for supporting those
within our own midst. The Lincoln
Paint & Color Co. are large employ
ers of Lincoln labor, and. the wage
earners' connection with this company
has been fraught with pleasant asso-
Citations and fair pay. This large and
modernly equipped establishment has
grown into prominence in this dis
trict. There are two reasons for the
remarkable increase Of this company,
the frs being the merits of the goods
sent ou, and the second on account of
the personality of this company and
it's subordinateS This company was
one of the first manufacturers in Lin
coin, and was established in small
way, but has grown until today is one
of our leading manufacturing plants.
M. j. Waugh, president of the COM
pany, has done much toward advanc-
ing the interests of Lincoln. He has
always been friendly in his relations
with labor, and is always ready to
help them when possible. This COM
panys goods can be bought at Kost-
ka's Glass & Paint Co., located at 1911

THE LINCOLN TAILORING CO., 1872
SOUTH TWELFTH ST.

Lincoln has long since demonstrate.
ed her rightful claim as one of the
most thrifty, energetic and up to date
cities to be found in the west. This
claim was not. however, gained by
virtue of few struggles, but through
the ceaseless efforts of men who are
quick to grasp the needs and demands
of the people. By strict application
to business, by fair and impartial deal
ings with all their customers, and by
prompt and courteous treatment, this
firm has long since taken it's place in
the ranks of live business houses. The
Lincoln Tailoring Co. readily con-
ceived the idea that high prices for
custom made clothes were prohibitive
and promptly slashed such prices un-
til today hundreds of men who labor,
wear their tailor-made suits and over
coats. Their prices, coupled with eX-
cellent quality and style, have created
a popular favor for clothes made by
this firm. This company has always
displayed a friendly feeling to orga-
nized labor. This company is located
at 1872 south Twelfth street
