JUDGE TAFT AND LABOR.

Judge Taft has announced his pur-
labor on an equality. with capital and
give labor an equality of opportunity
in the negotiations between them.
This is somewhat different from the
view held by Abraham Lincoln, who
insisted that labor was superior to cap
ital and entitled to much more consid-
Grafton. But it seems far cry from
the republicanism of Abraham Lincoln
to the republicanism that triumphed
in 1908.

SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.

On the evening of November 3 the
Lincoln Ad Club held it's regular
monthly dinner. at which time Mr..
Ed A. Higgins, advertising manager
of the Brandeis & Sons Co. of Omaha,
proprietors OF the Boston Store, de-
livered an address on the topic, "Poa-

Poetry"

personal to the editor of this little
paper, but perhaps he will be par
doned for the little streak of vanity
which impels him to reprint it.
Mr.. Higgins discussed the value of
poetry in advertising and mentioned
several notable incidents wherein
this form of publicity was productive
of commercial results. He instanced
the "Spotless Town" and Sunny

opinion that the average poetic al

easy chair with MY Three"
Eyes O. Brown and Sunny Hair,
And Dickey Winktum Wee,
Two beside my easy chair
And one upon my knee;
Thus the evenings come and go
Till Mr.. Sandman's call,
Set three wee heads to nodding low
And tired eyelids fall.
This is the way to sleepy town,
Jump into bed and cuddle down.
Eyes o. Brown wants animal tales,
OF bears and woolly things,
While Sunny Hair most loudly walls
For whirr of fairy wings.
But Dickey Winktum Wee just winks
His laughing eyes at me-
wonder what the young man thinks
Perched there upon my knee?
so sing hey no for Sleepy town,
Jump into bed and cuddle down
Once there was big black bear
Two pairs of eyes grow bright,
Two forms press closer to my chair
AS if to Danish fright;
And once there was brave young
boy
Then dimpled faces shine,
While I with fairy lore add Joy
To those sweet tots of mine.
But Dickey Winktum Wee just crows
Till off to Sleepytown he goes.
Now 1 lay me down to sleep
The goodnight prayers are said,
Above each little head.
Eyes O. Brown and Sunny Hair,
And Dinkey Winktum Wee,

Though the arrest of Captain John

with tampering with the Ruef jury
sent scurrying for cover all the lesser
satellites basking in the Ruefan glare
II has by no means ended the cease
less watch of the prosecution or
brought TO an end the investigation OF

West was accredited with being the
snoothest fox in the grafter's follow

would have rivaied Sherlock Holmes.
He was one of the mysteries of Ruefs

verse ratio to his physical demeanor-
He was as quick in mind as he was
slow in body. His deft hand left no
mark: his military feet no trail He
was here, there and everywhere, and
none knew Of his coming or going. But
there arose a kink in the arranged
order of things; somebody failed to
whistle. somebody talked somebody did
something which he ought not TO have
done, and cap" landed in the net.

auaking when they took into consider
alton the thorough manner in which
this grand jury has gone into the
testimony. If Captain Johnny had been
grabbed. who was safe? The answer
IS in the hands Of the grand jury.
INVESTIGATE HIRELINGS
Every one of Ruefs followers are
under investigation. Fabian Finch is
being watched and an indictment may
be returned against him any day. The
investigation has not stopped with Ruef
and his tbrong. The higher ups and
their hired thugs are on the pan. The
prosecution has recognized that its en-
deavors for the attainment Of justice
would be weakened materially in case
OF a failure to convict Ruef in the
present trial-a fact which would
please the bribe givers as much as il
would the hirelings dominated by Ruef.
The higher ups" have recognized this
also, and ala their forces have been
marshaled TO bring about a victory for
themselves.

has been fitting around with more zeal

BLAKE APPEARS IN COURT
Attorney Makes Usual Techni-
cal. Objections

E. A. S. Blake, charged with offering
a juror a bribe to acquit Abe Ruef, was
in Judge Dunnes court yesterday. In
stead of pleading. however, Blake,
through >his attorney William H.
Schooler, introduced a motion to set
aside the Indictment. pleading the
usual technical objections raised in all
the graft cases. Them motion states
that the evidence taken before the
grand jury would not warrant con-
viction of Blake by a trial jury; that
the grand jurors had reason to be-
lieye that there was other evidence
available that would explain away1tiIe
charge, but that they failed to order
such evidence to be produced; that the
jury acted upon incompetent evidence,
and that the jurors were biased and
impartial
Schooler remarked to the court that
ii would be necessary for him to have
the members of the grand jury present
in order TO examine them as to the
allegations set up in the motion. 1t
was ordered that subpenas be issued
for the jurors to appear in court Mon
day, TO which day the case was con-
tinued. 1t is intended to try Blake at
the earliest available moment.
