The storekeeper fed and after
thinking over what he had said and

mine manager concluded he couldn't
blame him. He had friend up town
he would try it on and maybe it
would be possible to get action there.
So he hied himself away after the
clerk had carefully conned him lit

The way Plate unreeled it was as
follows: 1--WE have finished picking
our potatoes" whereupon he was in
terrupted with remark that the gen.
tleman addressed did not care for the
tree grown variety. The mine man
ager retired outside and confided to
a friend that there was something
wrong with the gearing apparatus Of
the gentleman he had left and that
he should be watched carefully in or
der that he might do nothing rash or
violent. After which he proceeded
gaily to the Steptoe, where he talked
to Manager Kline with SO much vigor
on agricultural subjects, particularly
with relation to potato growing and
picking, that the hotel man bought
the ranch crop and will tomorrow adj
vertise real picked potatoes, the fin
est in the world, as coming up with

ALLIED PRINTING TRADES.
Last Sundays Meeting sIimIy Attend.
ed for Various Reasons.

The special mass meeting of the Al
lied Printing Trades last Sunday was
slimly attended. About fifteen were
present. The small attendance was
due partly to the fact that a lot of
men were working overtime, and still
others were either forgetful or indiff-
event, or both. Little OF moment was
done. The committee on permanent
headquarters failed to report, only one
member of the committee being pres
ent. The committee was discharged
and another appointed to look after
room which could be used as head
quarters without incurring an expense
to exceed $12 n month, of which the
Typographical Union is to bear one
half.
Some very excellent cigars were
passed around with the compliments of
manufacturers who were mentioned
after the former meeting.

Husband Being "WeII Known Mer-

From the Lincoln Daily Star of Tues
day, January Is, we learn that "the
wife of highly respected business
man. was detected in the act of shop
lifting at one of the department stores.
We further learn from the same source
that ''only the good name of her hus-
band saved her from being taken to
the police station And still further
we learn that the woman .'ranks high
in one of the aristocratic churches of
the city,
How fortunate for this woman that
she was the wife of a respected 'sbusi-
ness man" instead of being the wife OF
a common mechanic" Otherwise she
would have been hailed to the police
shadow on the home of the working
man. But she wasn't Her husband

minds US of the time when Charley

of five years for stealing three-quarters
of million from widows and orphans
in Lincoln and another fellow who
stole So was given the wholly in
adquate sentance of fifteen years at
the same term of court.
| We'd like very much to know the
name of this respected business mans
wife" If we had it we would print it
in The Wageworker She Is entitled
to no more consideration than the
wife of Bill Smithers, the day laborer-
not as much in fact. And her husband
is no more entitled to consideration
than the humblest mechanic in the

Advertising Again

nine hours day at the Jones' factory.
Or if she is she was taken back after
being discharged because the check,
unbeknown to her, appeared in The

1t is because We are real friend
to Brother Jones that we hasten To
give him some advice which, if
lowed, may make it much easie
him to secure help. Let him eSta1fsh

mer garden and concert AhneX to
his plant and pay the union scale of
wages, which is by no means an ex-
orbitant scale. We believe the highest
price paid in any union overall factory
for making overalls is less than 81
a dozen.
Brother Jones continues to adver-
tise that he has added twenty-five
girls to his force during the last two
weeks. If that is strictly true he has
added about 200, for the advertisement
has been running quite a long time.

BRAKEMAN KILLED.
MangIed Beneath Wheels While Max
ing Air Hose Coupling.

Gladstone F. Tate. Burlington
brakeman, was run over and killed
Friday night of last week. Tate was
making an air coupling and while thus
engaged string of cars was showed
against the car on which he was work
ing. Tate was thrown under the
wheels and terribly mangled, dying in
very short time. The body was TAX
en- to the morgue.
Saturday evening Jacob Kern went
to the morgue and gazed on the
mangled corpse of Tate. Then Kern
started home,- and while on the rail
road crossing near his residence was
run down by switch engine and
killed Kern was not an employe OF
the company and was killed because
of his own negligece. Tate was killed
while on duty, and surface indications
are that his death was due to the care
lessness of "fellow-servants,' which
will probably release the company
from all damages.

The proposition to create the $500
death benefit passed in the referen-

member must be in good standing with
the local union. All dues and assess

month Dues and assessments must be
paid, and why not be on time with
them and not run the risk of being
deprived of this $500 in case of death

The eighteenth annual convention of

began at Indianapolis last Tuesday.
The convention will be in session ten
days and about six hundred delegates

VIOLATED AGREEMENT.

Fifteen hundred Polish employees of
the Chicopee, Mass, textile mills
struck for an increase in wages last
Monday. The strike caused a closing
despite the protests of the Textile
Workers executive committee, and in
violation of agreement The executive
committee has ordered them back to
work on pain of being expelled from
membership.

ALDRicH OF BUTLER.
Printing Expert of the Senate Objects
to City Prices.

to City Prices.
Senator Aldrich of Butler is evident
ly the printing expert of the senate.
He objected to the estimates for
printing the senate journal. why, we
can get it done for lot less money in
the country" he declared. Sure thing!
And there are printers right here in
Lincoln who would make better sena-
tors than Aldrich and do it for $3
day.. But they wouldn't do it because
they wouldn't "scab" on the honorable
senators. Senator Aldrich may be an
expert on printing, but it's dollars to
doughnuts he doesn't know the differ
ence between an em-quad and a galley
rack.
The state had an experience with
country work. two years ago. 1t paid
country printer" more for a very
inferior job of house and senate rec
ord printing than it is now asked to
have record for turning out first-class
work. Two years ago the expense of
preparing the copy for the printers
and furnishing mimeograph copies of
the proceedings daily to house and
senate was $4,324. and the mineograph
copies were bum and the book job
at the end of the session an almighty
poor specimen. This year it is pro-
| posed to print the proceedings daily
and bind the whole at the end of the
session for practically the same mon
ey. Expert Aldrich objects and wants
to have it done in the country because
it is cheaper
| 1t might be possible to get cheaper
senators than some we have, but we
doubt &.

PATR0NIZE YOUR
home INSTITUTIONS

Where YOU earn your money is the best place to
spend it.
Let Lincoln workingmen rene hber that important
fact Every dollar earned in Lincoln and spent out
side of Lincoln is dollar taken away from the local
volume of money and in time wiil react on the wage
earnefs
Every dollar spent in LncolnS adds to the volume
of business, and every addition to business means
more work for wage earners.
These statements automatic. An axiom is
self-evdent truth.
There is whatever why Lincoln wage
Garner should buy pound of groceries, stitch of
clothing dollars worth of fire, accident or life in
surance, piece of furniture aeyard OF carpet or
anything else outside of Lincoln. All these things
may be purchased cheap or acheaper in Lincoln
than elsewhere. You know yoiIr local merchants.
They responsible and if their not up to
requirements they will make good. The catalogue
houses are financially responsible of course but
the goods they sell satisfactory the purchaser
has Every dollar spent with Chicago
catalogue houses is dollar taken from Lincoln, and
that dollar comes back to Lincoln. A dollar
spent with your home merchant remains in Lincoln
and later some wage Garner gets it.
Your local merchant will help you if you in
the hole He will give you reasonable credit, and in
case of sickness will stand your friend. The cata
logue houses do not know you will not trust you
and after they get your money they don't give
tinker's dam whether you live die. Your local
merchants pay taxes help support the schools
where the children Of Lincoln wage edu
Gated. The Chicago catalogue houses do not pay
cent towards the support of Lincoln schools. Lincoln
merchants pay taxes to help keep the streets clean
and well lighted and the city library open The cata-
logue houses do not pay cent in Lincoln for that
purpose
Last year the merchants of Lincoln voluntarily
subscribed upwards of a thousand dollars to improve
the city park, which will be enjoyed by the wage
earners Of Lincoln and their children The catalogue
houses will not subscribe cent in thousand years
for that benefcent purpose.
When you out of work month two ago.
it the local merchant the catalogue house
that gave you credit and trusted you until you got
work and made the money to meet the bill9 The
local merchant of course. You would have suffered
and you family would have suffered if you had been
compelled to depend on the catalogue house.
Stand by your local merchant Spend your money
at home, and you will be able to make more money
to spend.
Home first, the world afterwards That s mighty
good motto for any city to follow.
Patronize home institutions and home merchants
unless you know them to be the enemies of organized
labor.

The Fame Of Roosevelt. !.

Perhaps when most of the doings OF
Theodore Roosevelt, his achievements
and his failures have been forgotten,
his name Will. be inseparably linked
with the. sailing of the great fleet to
the Pacific ocean. 1t will be perhaps
the one popularity remembered event
OF his administration just as the enun
citation of the principle Of America
for Americans has sustained the
fame of Monroe.
These great ships must make a
long voyage through dangerous and
uncertain seas, and they go to the
mysterious east, not the slumbering
east. land of the lotos eater, but to
the east seething with a new life.
they go because an old, nation, which
half century ago, seemed to be
yerging on decrepitude, has suddenly
awakened into life almost superhu-
man in its effective activities.
