decreasing and with a prospect of now
valuable stock being sadly deprecated,
the Journal is suddenly awakened to
a realization of the fact that the pub

serves-adequate street railway facili-

The Wageworker has but one criti-
cism to make of the city council, and

Wageworker has confidence in the in
telligence of the union BARRIERS of
Lincoln and predicts that everything
will come out all right in the end.
The New York Sun is authority
for the statement that BARRIERS are
averse to working in a high shop.
In other words, they object to work
ing higher than the first or second
story of building This may explain
why you never see barber shop at
the top of "sky scraper." Surely
it is not because of Inconvenience.
because the lavaratories of most of
the big "sky scrapers" are usually To-
Gated right under the roof, and men
go to the lavaratory oftener than they
do to q barber shop. Now why is it
that a barber objects to working

some Lincoln barber will explain it.

THE HURT PIG IS souEALlNc.

The State journal, pinched in the
purse, is beginning to squea1. It is
now putting up an awful boiler be-
cause the city council, obeying the
mandates of the people, is making the
Lincoln Distraction Co. feel the weight
of public displeasure. The men who
control the destinies of the Lincoln
State Journal are heavy stockholders
in the Lincoln Distraction Co. They
bought their stock at 10 and IL cents
on the dollar, and by reason of the
policy of squeezing the
public to the limit without giving any
adequate return that stock is now
worth considerably more than par
Now that another company comes in
and by square dealing and justice to
the public is given what favors the
municipality has to bestow, the Jour-
nal puts up a pitiful howl and de-
clares that the Citizens Street Rail-
way Co. controls the council.
When the Journal made the state
ment it knew full we'll it was giving
utterance to a deliberate falsehood.
The city needs better street railway
facilities, and because the Citizens
Street Railway Co. is giving it what
the Lincoln Distraction Co. so long re-
fused to give, the Citizens Street Rail-
way Co. is being shown the favors
that the Lincoln Distraction Co. could
have had had it not been for its in
solent, impudent, dog-in-the-manger,
Scudderized policy. AS long as the
Lincoln Distraction Co. had a monop-

the benefit of the stockholders of the

Forced to Postpone Their Annual Pic

The union BARRIERS of Lincoln in
tended to enjoy their annual picnic
on August Is, but owing to circum-
stances were forced to postpone it in
definitely. When the committee Sc
lected the date it was unaware of
the fact that it was set for the week
when two or three thousand militia
men and as many visitors would be
in Lincoln. When this fact was called
to their attention by the employers
the union men gracefully agreed to
a postponement. They felt that it
would be unjust to close up during
such busy and profitable season. It
is possible. that the picnic may be
held Immediately after the state fair,
but the chances are that it will be
omitted. If it is, it is safe bet
that the picnic next year will be just
