STILL FIGHTING wINDMILLs.

The Lincoln Star, which threw the
weight of it's influence against the
child labor bill during the last session
of the legislature, is still indulging in at
tacks against imaginary evils. The Star
is now shedding briny tears because the
law is, it claims, forcing lot of young
boys who want to work and who ought
to be at work to spend their time in
idleness.
The trouble with the esteemed Star
lis that it sees so many things that do
not exist, and fails to see SO many
things that do exist. There is nothing
any child from engaging in useful work
during reasonable hours-a few in
furious occupations fully set out in
the law being excepted. All this rub
bish about the law causing boys to
be brought up in idleness reflects no
credit upon the discernment of the
Star.
But even if the law does result in a
few boys growing up in idleness, the
fact that it prevents the practical en-.
slavement and mental and moral de-
basement Of thousands of others, it
would still be good thing. If the
law has any weak spot it is that it
practically exempts farm children
from it's provisiones, and there are
thousands of farm boys in Nebraska
who need the protection of the law
| fully as much as the children in the
sweat shops and mills of the east.
The trainers of that law knew by OBJ
servation and experience that it is far
easier to keep the child labor evil out
of state than it would be to eradicate
| it after it once had been established.
For that reason they made the law
drastic in it's provisions, and a drastic
law always pinches somewhere. But
better a pinch now and then than a
fatal squeeze in few years. If there
are any boys in Lincoln who are grow
ing up in idleness the fault is not in
the child labor law, but in the boys
parents, or both. During the tendency
OF the Clarke bill the Star opposed it
on the ground that it created a lot of
new salaried offices. The bill did moth
ing of the kind. And the Stars pres
ent attitude towards the law is about
on par with it's opposition on the
fhof fnd colo vi<, q
offices.

The Difference.

A lot of gentlemen, having decided
to embark in a manufacturing bust
ness, elected superintendent and en-
powered him to transact all the cor
porate business.
The superintendent advertised for
men, and when they appeared he
asked each one If he was union man
If the answer was yes he refused
work
But what difference does it make
to you whether am a union man OF
not, just so do my work and earn
my wager" asked one man.
Il don't propose to recognize a
union, because insist on dealing in
dividually with the employees, and not
with a walking delegate"
But 1 am compelled to do business
with a representative of the company
instead of with the individual stock
holders" said the applicant.
quite true" said the superintend
ent, 'but we are gentlemen"

Moral Grounds.

The railroad manager had just fin
ished paying heavy rebate to a big
shipper when a brakeman appeared
at the door in response to summons
"Aha!" exclaimed the manager
putting on his fiercest look. you are
charged with taking two dollars from
a hobo and letting him ride over your
division"
Eyes, SIR said the brakeman, "but
II didn't think"
Enough, sir" shouted the irate
manager. you are discharged, We
will not have in our employ men who
are guilty of such immoral prac
tees"
Having thus demonstrated his hon
esty and morality to his own satisfac-
ton, the manager patted himself on
the back and proceeded to frame up a
plan to inject some more water into
his stock.

The National Manufacturers Asso-
citation is going to raise a fund of ST.
100000 to destroy organized labor. The
United Typothate was going to destroy
the Typographical Union with fund
of 100000. At the end of eighteen
months of fighting the Typothate has
spent millions, and the Typographical
Union is stronger, numerically and
financially than ever before. The Ma
tional Manufacturers Association will
have to write three more ciphers after
that 81, 500, 900 if it hopes to make even
a dent in organized labor.

SOME HOT SHOT.
Poured Square at the Target by Rev
Charles Sickle.

Poured Square at the Target by Rev.
Charles SteIzle.
You cannot always judge how well
a man has aimed by what he hits.
1t isn't always the gun that makes
the loudest report that does the most
business.
For effective work, a common must
be one hundred times heavier than the
shot it fires.
There are many kinds of guns, but
none of them are self-firing- except
ing the kind that do mischief.
Blank cartridges may be good
enough for a Fourth of July celebra-
ton, but life is not all holiday.
Some men have wasted SO much
time in getting an aim in life that
they have forgotten how to pull the
trigger.
The man behind the gun may pull
the trigger, but after all it is the
| woman behind the man who took the
aim.
There are times when it pays to
| fire in battalions, but for ordinary
| purposes, it is the single, well-aimed
| shot that counts.
A man may not always strike the
bulls eye, but it is safer to keep on
| trying than to stake ones reputation
| upon a good chance shot.

Cards.

A label in the hat makes the union
talk sound better through it.
A 'knocker' carries his unionism
written only on his card.
Graft knows no politics.
The man of leisure loves to talk
about the dignity of labor.
When a man tells us he just loves
to work we feel like recommending
him for membership in the Ananias
club

The retirement of DR.. P. L. Hall from
active business is not good thing for
of organized labor, and on several oc-
casions within The Wageworker's

of that friendship. 1t is to be hoped
that he will regain his health after a
short vacation and then get back into
the business harness.

UNION MADE STUFF.
An AIIegory.


1t was at noon on Friday that Pat
McGinnis went
With appetite enormous into res
taurant;
showed him to seat,
Bring me well done slice of whale,
for fish I've got to eat" I.
Were out of whale the waiter said,
and Patrick quickly cried,
Bring me some shark, and see to it
that it is nicely fried"
Were out of shark" the waiter said,
and wiped again Pats dish.
Then bring some pork" McGinnis
said; God knows asked for
fish,
There's lots of men of Patrick's stamp
who when they go to buy
Will ask for union labels, but they
never seem to try
Quite hard enough-they always find
some "scab" made goods sc
cheap
They duck the union labels-they are
union men card Deep"
They boast of unionism and they
swear by hook or crook
For labels when they go to buy they
always take a look.
But oft it seems that when they ask
for labels that they wish
Results will be just as they were
when McGinnis asked for fish.

Now, all together for the label!
BAD FOR BUTTERIck's.

The large department store of
O'Neill & Co., of Baltimore, has dis
carded the Butterick patterns and put
in a line of those made under union
conditions. On July 1, Wannamaker,
of Philadelphia, will take the same
action. If this condition continues an
other drop in the price of Butterick
stock may be looked for.

BUSINESS DONE
IN CIRCUIT COURT
Greesenberg Sentenced to Mar
quette. Plaintiff Gets Judgment
in Case Of Duke VS.. Beatty.

The business disposed OF in the circuit
court since our last issue is as follows:
The case OF Marcus b. Duke ct al. vs..
Peter Baaty ct al. was decided in favor
Of plaintiff. This suit involves the
ownership of "merry GO round" which
was originally owned by plaintiff De-
lendant had loaned plaintiff money and
acted in the capacity of cashier to get
i1is money back out Of the receipts OF the
Wheel He claimed that he had not yet
received the same, and plaintiff claimed
that he bad received his money, and
more, so the suit was really in the nature
of an accounting. 1t was tried once be-
fore 10 the June term of court, 1906, at
which time plaintiff received Judgment.
The supreme court reversed the decision
and sent it back for a new trial with the
above results. An order was entered
giving defendant 20 days in which to
move for a new trial, and 60 days in
which to settle bill of exception to the
supreme court
In the people vs.. Herman Greusen-
berg, respondent was sentenced to Mar
quette state prison for term not less

two years. Greusenberg had been con-
victed of the larceny of goods at South

raigned and plead guilty to the abandon
ment of his family. He gave bonds in
the sum OF $50 for their support
The jury was empaneled on Tuesday in
the case of Bertha K. Brown vs.. DIR.
Charles l.. Bennett of Gobleville and

NEW SCHEDULE
ON K.L.S. 8 c. R.R.
Vent into Effect Last Sunday.
Change Means Much to Paw
Paw. Improved Service.

Last Sunday new time card went in
in effect on the X. l.. S. x &. railroad.
Trains now leave for the east at 6:l5 and
! 1910 a. M, $40 and 6:05 p. M, arrive
from Lawton at $40, leave for the west
at $50 a N 100 and 1925 p. IN. By the
new schedule close connections are made
with all trains on the M. 6. at Lawton
and the p. M. at Hartford.
The freight service has also been i'm
proved, for the way freight will leave
Paw Paw every morning, go to South
Haven and return to Lawton and back
to Paw Paw and lay up over night In
this arrangement it is the aim of the
company to give good, prompt service to
Paw Paw business, undertaking to deliv-
er here each day everything that is at
transfer points at Lawton and Hartford.
BY this arrangement the passenger,
freight aud work trains will lay up at
Paw Paw every night, and this means
much to our town for it brings quite a
number of additional men and their fam
lilies here to live This makes the force
consisting of engineers, tiremen, car IN
spector, shopmen, car cleaners, and host
lers nineteen, under Master Mechanic
w. X. Christie, who formerly held like
positions with the p. M and Santa Fe
railroads.
b. +. Sowle, our genial conductor, has
been promoted to the Office of train mas
ter with headquarters at Paw Paw and
will dispatch all trains from this point
instead of at South Haven as heretofore.
The company pays out monthly in Paw
Paw alone for wages between seventeen
and eighteen hundred dollars. They
have recently constructed a large coal
dock here and are storing many tons of
coal for its use and intend putting in
machinery for making repairs to its roll
| ing stock.
The railroad is certainly doing all in
its power to further the interests of Paw
Paw, and it should have the encourage
ment it deserves from the town itself
and the loyal support of its citizens.

Thanksgiving
1907

Do you know that Thanksgiving Day is an exclu-
sve American institution? Outside of United States
and Canada, Thanksgiving Day isn't proclaimed as
day of Thanksgiving for all the benefits we have de-
rived in business and otherwise.
1t was the old pilgrims that appointed that day
from the remembrance of a harvest just gathered in
but what meager harvest it the first year Moth
ing but some Indian corn and garden vegetables.
How different today is Thanksgiving-a harvest
equaled by any other country on the face OF the
earth. We have much to be thankful for.
This store is indeed thankful for the fact that ef-
forts to make it the peoples store have been appre-
cated and that too, in such way far surprising any
that this town has known-where dependable,
high grade high quality drugs chemicals and sundres
of an unmistakabe character may be had
There are many things for all to be thankful for
too Do you remember what the od-fashioned drug
store was like? Without saying anything but just that
you in here any day you want anything that may
be had at a drug store and the way you cared for
you are served The high grade goods delivered and
the low prices attached you will then realize wna you
have to be thankful for in drug store service
