WILL BE A DISGRACE.

If it transpires that Henry T.
Clarke, jr., has been defeated for the
nomination as railroad commissioner
little short of disgrace to the trades
unionists of Lincoln and Omaha.
This is meant in no disrespect to the
gentlemen who were his opponents
should have had the earnest support
of every unionist who affiliates with
the republican party, just as he should
have had of every unionist regardless
of politics had he been nominated
Mr.. Clarke was a member of the last
legislature, and he it was who intro
duced the child labor bill and stood
by it through thick and thin until it
was enacted into law. He worked
and voted for the employers liability
law and in other ways showed that
he was in hearty sympathy with the
workingmen of the state. Organized
labor has not so many friends that it
can afford to ignore those who have
demonstrated their friendship
AS The Wageworker goes to press
il seems that Mr. Clarke has been
defeated, partly through the exertions
OF the interests which Mr.. Clarke has
always strenuously opposed, and part
ly because of the carelessness of Or
ganized labor. And The Wageworker
pleads guilty 1t was victim of over
confidence. 1t thought Mr. Clarke had
cinch and did not sound warning

has never failed to befriend when OPP
portunity offered.

Labor Day will gradually, but surely,
as labor holiday, disappear forever.

must have made some of it's local COM
petitors in the advertising field green
with envy. The edition was printed
on heavy book paper, and the excel
lent typographical appearance was in
thorough keeping with the general
literary and news excellence. With
out exception it was the handsomest
special edition that reached The
Wageworker's table.
The Michigan Union Advocate, De-
troit, got out Labor Day edition
that for bulk compared favorably
with the Sunday issue of New York
daily, and it carried a fine line of
advertising. 1t also had a lot of
special literary matter pertaining to
labor and Labor Day Prosperity
oczed from every column and page.
A symposium on Labor Unions and
Their Mission" was unusually inter-
esting, the articles being contributed
by workingmen who are fully ac-
quainted with the subject
The st. Joheph (Mo) union came
out in patriotic coiors with a twenty
page edition, and the judicious adver-
Users of ST. Joseph seem to be fully
aware of the Unions value as a me-
dunn. At any rate the Union had 'em
in plenty. The reading sections were
not sighted by any means, but filled
chocls full of good stuff. The Union
seems to be enjoying prosperity to the
limit
The Kansas City Labor Herald
came along with a big issue put up
in artistic shape-pretty as Missouri
school girl, and just as plump. The
Herald is prospecting, judging by ap-
pearance, and The Wageworker is
glad of it.
The Erie (Pa.) Union Labor Journal
is one of the young labor papers,
but like Minerva it seems to have
sprung full grown into life. At any
rate it's Labor Day issue consisted of
twenty-four pages, and the line of adj
vertising carried demonstrates that
Erie merchants believe the Journal to
cover a mighty rich and profitable
field The Journal is edited with abil-
ity, and it ought to have the solid
support of the unionists of that boom
ing Pennsylvania city.
1t seems that the rank and file of
union men are rapidly growing wise
r., h. 10 70 NY
years ago. the labor editor was up
against it for fair. All unionists SUBJ
scribed, but very few of them ever
thought it necessary to pay the sub
scription price. The labor paper got
no advertising to speak of, because
workingmen bought any old kind of
goods and could be reached by the
daily papers. Then came the realiza-
ton that labor's newspaper battles
had to be fought by a we'll supported
labor press, and this was followed by
the label campaign that made mer-
chants realize that they had to ad-
vertise il labor paper if they
reached the trade of union men and
women. Now the labor editors are
coming into their own, and they can
eat regularly, wear good clothes and
hold up their heads like the men they
are.
The Wageworker rejoices in the
prosperity of it's labor exchanges, and
with becoming modesty calls atten-
ton to the fact that it is doing fair
ly well considering all the circum-
stances.

Last week, being the week before
