THE GARNISHEE LAW.
Usual Move Made to Amend 1t In
Interests of Selfish Men.

| Representative Scudder has intro
duced a bill making radical changes in
| the garnishee law. The Evening News
refers to the bill in the following
language:
''The pi resent law e1empts from exc
of a family, while the Scuddel bill
| merely eAempts seventy-five pc. cent
of the amount wage earning family
head has due him. Thus creditor
| could garnishee man for one-fourth
of his wages every week, depriving
him of sufficient income for the sup
port of his family and of course losing
him his position. It must be apparent
that such law would put too much
power in the hands of the unscrupu!-
Gus collector who would be enabled
to drive the impecunicus debtor from
any position which he might secure
without giving him any chance to get
sufficiently ahead to pay off his obi
cations. The creditor is certainly
entitled to protection, but no more
SO than the debtor"
| Every time the legislature meets an
effort is made to amend the garnishee
law and do away with the protection
no:' afforded workingmen against the
greed and rapacity of creditors. If
the garnishee law merely protected
dead beats no honest man would be
in favor of it. But the law as it
stands prevents injustice to honest
but unfortunate workingmen. 1t is
dead beats, but at the same time it
protects honest workingmen Through
sickness or other misfortune an hon
est worktngman may find himself un-
able to pay his grocery or meat bill
promptly. Without the protection of
the garnishee law the creditor could
take that mans wages and leave his
family to suffer.
| Representative Scudder's bill looks
like a small amendment, but it is
enough to work great injustice on
the unfortunate but honest working
man. Almighty few wage earners are
receiving sufficient wage to enable
them 10 live comfortably on Is per
cent of It,
The merchant should not be allowed
to make collection agency of the
state. He has his credit man, and he
ought to be willing to take his
chances. Certainly he should not ask
for the privilege of making honest
men suffer in order to cinch the oc.
Casional dead beat. The Scudder bill
should be killed the minute it comes
up, and it will be killed if those most
interested workingmen-will gel
busy.

HATTERs ON STRIKE.

All the hating Industries of the Or

known as the hating center of the
east, are at standstill, and 1000
persons are idle through general
strike ordered by the national com
mittee of the United Hatters' Union

secured. The strike has a noticeable
effect on the business enterprises of
Orange, and unless an adjustment is
made in few days and the men and

THE CITY ELECTION.

If organized labor wants represent
alton in the next city council it is high
time that the wage earners sat up and
took notice of things political. The
politicians and the men with selfish
interests to serve are already setting
up their pins, and candidates for
councilmanic honors are becoming as
thick as flies in August. Lincoln is a
republican city, therefore it stands to
reason that the council will be repub-
lican. Republican nominations are
made at primaries, and the wage earn
ers who affiliate with the republican
party should see to it that men of
their own number are put on the pri.
mary tickets. Failing that, they should
see to it that they have an oppor-
tunity at least to vote for candidates
who are known to be friendly to trades
unionism. -
With possibly one or two exceptions
the democrats stand no show, there
fore it will be easy to secure the
incarnation of union men on the demo
cratic ticket. Democratic nomina
tons will not be sought after, but on
the contrary the democratic conven-
ton will go out looking for victims.
If the wage earners will take the
proper interest there is no reason WIN
they can not secure the nomination of
three or four trades unionists for the
council Well never get anything
unless we go after it. 1t seems useless
to nominate men because they are

A WORD WITH LINCOLN MER-
CHANTS.

Gentlemen, this matter of patroniz-
ing home merchants and home indus
tries has several phases, and it would
be well for you to look at all of them.
If the wage earners of Lincoln take
hold of the home patronage movement
it will be vast benefit to you. Now
you ought to meet the wage earners
half way in this matter.
1t is considerably easier to get I'M
ion made goods in Lincoln than it
was three years ago. But it is not
easy enough yet, by any means. There
is no use mincing words about this
matter. You are not doing the right
thing by us. You have pernicious
habit of buying few labeled goods
usually the poorest of the kind you
can buy-and then hiding them away
somewhere. When a customer insists
age to dig it up, but you do it un-
willingly, and you can truthfully say
it is not good, either in make or
quality. Then you try to palm off
the non-union stuff, asserting that it
Is better than the shoddy article you
have bought with the label in it. OF
course you can get shoddy and poorly
made stuff with the label thereon.
We know it just as well as you do.
But you can also get the best.
We are getting almighty tired of
this sort of thing. We want you to
tote fair with us. We are spending
two and half million dollars year
with you, and we'll spend more If
you'll give us chance. But we are
going to quit buying your 'scab'
made goods, and If you don't hustle
around and put in stock goods, re-
liable union made goods, you are 60
ing to lose big bunch of customers.
You needn't think you are fooling
us. We were wise to this label game
before a whole lot of you were en-
gaging in the merchandise business.
We know your little trick of keeping
few labeled goods of inferior quality
so you can say you carry labeled
goods, and we know your little trick
OF trying to sell the "scab" article by
calling attention to the poor quality
of the labeled article. We've stood
| for it as long as we are going to. Now
you get busy and meet us half way on
this home patronage business. Buy
union made goods that are good. They
are just as easy to get as good goods
ir any other make. We under stand
you can not make quite as big u MAJ
gin on the union stuff as you do TN
the "scab." That Is not to be wond
cred at. 1t cost more to make labeled
| goods for the reason that the peopl>
who make them receive fair wages
God only knows how much margin
the manufacturer and the wholesaler
make on the "scab" and sweat shol
goods before they come to you.
We are your best customers. With
out us one-half, or twO-thirds. Of you
would go out of business Now. VIII!
not realize the justice of our d.man,
and proceed to get the kind of good
we want? You can sell them to nor
union men just as easily as you ca
sell them the other kind, and 20
can sell us more of them and give u
better satisfaction. We are patien
lot of people, but we are getting jus
bit tired of the way you have bee
handing it to us. Some of these day
we may get real mad. We can fee
it coming up in our necks right nov

In consequence of his valuable inventions
DR.. Gale received f1attering recognition not
only from Queen Victoria and the prince
consort, but also from Napoleon III of
France, the then Car of Russia and the
rulers of many other countries, besides, as
already mentioned, having degrees con-
ferred on him by many learned bodies. 1t
was not of these things, however, that he
cared to talk when interviewed by your
correspondent.
He first became interested in electricity
through meeting with a famous medical
electrician who tried to restore his sight.
After few years under this practitioners
tuition Dr. Gale mastered the subject of
medical galvaniSm and electrical thera-
peutics. and decided to adopt the latter as
a profession.
"By studying all known electrical APP
pliances,'' he said, ut was not long before
was able to begin general practice and to
give treatment electrically. I adopted the
method of letting all currents of electricity
pass through my own body. By this means
I was able to tell just what sort of current
my patients were receiving. By my sensi-
tveness of touch I was able to gauge cleo
trical forces far better than some practi-
TONERS in the same line. and it was not
long before had won a reputation among
many well-known doctors. who used to send
me their patients for treatment.

of the bodies of patients through whom
am sending charges of electricity can hear
peculiar sounds passing back and forth, and
1t is partially by these sounds that i am
able to tell whether a patient is healthy or
not. j remember on one occasion a man
was brought to me by well-knoWn
doctor. l galvanized him. listened all over
his body in my customary manner, and
then gave the opinion (privately. Of course,
to his own DOCTOR that this patient would

surprised to learn that he died suddenly

on listening at various points on this mans
body-the sounds to which my ear was
