John Wanamaker says; IF there
is one enterprise on earth that a
gutter should leave severely alone,
it is advertising. To make a success
of advertising one must be prepared
to stick like a barnacle on a ship S
bottom. He should know before he
begins it that he must spend money
lots of it. Somebody must tell him
also that he cannot hope to reap re-
suits commensurate with his expen-
diture early in the game Advertising
doesn't jerk; it pulls. 1t begins very
gentle at first, but the pull is steady.
1t increases day by day and year by
year until it exerts an irresistible
power" John Wannamaker has
spent as high as $1,000,000 a year
for newspaper advertising and is
qualified to speak.

Henry Clay Pierce engaged the
Choates, father and son, to appear
for him before the United States SUI
preme court at Washington. 1t is
safe to say that these eminent cor
poration lawyers received a
retainer of $4,000 and per-
haps 100000 from the fat purse of
the opulent Mr.. Pierce. On the other
hand the state of Texas pays beggar-
ly salaries to Davidson and Nc
Cord, representatives of the people
and the first of these marked for
| slaughter by the agents of the inter
ests who were in the saddle for more
than eight years. All Pierce has to
do is put up the price of oil and the
Texas consumers foot the bills for
his defense and yet Texas newspa-
pers, Texas politicians and thousands
of Texas voters stand for that sort
of thing.-Dallas ZINES Herald.

Hon. T. S. Henderson, of Milan
county, in recent speech and re-
viewing the many fat fees and SER
vices rendered made it a point to
show conclusively that every time
Senator Bailey got money the fellow
parting with money got what he
wanted. That Bailey got the Gibbs
ranch and Francis got his several
millions appropriated for the St.
Louis fair; that Bailey got his So
600 and Pierce got his company back
into Texas; that Bailey got his S :
$50 and Pierce got the McFall bill
killed; that Bailey got S156, 600 and
Pierce got rid of his competitor, the
Southwestern Oil company; Bailey
got 5000 and the Standard Oil
Company came back into Texas in
the name of the Security Oil com
pany; Bailey got $2S 100 and John
w. Gates got free port of entry at
Port Arthur; that all of these things
might have been simply coincidents,
but it was nevertheless a fact that
when Bailey got money something
was doing for the other fellow"

to an alarming extent, especially SO

Ninety-eight per cent must repre-
sent the profit Mr. Bailey has realiz-
ed from his senatorial job, judging
from his fondness for using those
figures. At Corsicana the senator
said: Nor do l forget that no less
than 90 per cent of the old Confed-
crate soldiers in this state are with
me. or course some of them are not;
deserters in this state who are not
on my side" In other words. two
per cent of the old Confederate sol
sertsrs. That sounds nice, coming
from a United States senator.

This from the Cleburne Chronicle
is worth reading: There is no doubt
in the minds of those who reason
that happiness is not a purchase BILE
product. 1t is is quality that is
within ourselves and comes from
knowledge of having done a service
of worth to someone, or to many,
according to our capacity. Men, with
this knowledge in their possession.
trample happiness in the dust for
dollars and for power. Service rem
dered is a pleasure that is cumula-
tive and therefore grows as the years
grow. To be genuinely happy il is
necessary to sacrifice ones desires
and perform some service to make
others happy. We should try to be
brave and honest and true and free
from bitterness. We should develop
strength and patience, and above all
exercise charity for our fellowman
who is prone TO err and fall by the
wayside But you don't want this ad-
vice. You will go right along in the
same old way depriving your wife
and children of comforts that you
may pile up dollars that you can I
eat nor wear nor carry with you
when you die. You will go right on
being mean and stingy, full of hate
and bitterness, doing no one a favor
starving for love and sympathy for

Pension Increases.

Ex-so1ders drawing pensions under the service act
will not have their pensions increased they adj
vance in years, except upon their own application
The service pension law grants pensions of SIP to
veterans between 60 and 70 years of age; SIS to
those between 70 and rs, and $40 to those over rs
1t was generally presumed that the increases would
be granted automatically by the pension bureau but
the contrary proves to tie case Representative
Hawley of Oregon took the matter up with the
commissioner of pensions, and received the follow
ing reply:
Before the pension of soldier who has attained
the age OF 70 years be increased to SIS per
month under the provisions of the act of February
e. 1907, that of soldier who has attained the AGE
OF Is years be increased to $40 per month
under the provisions of said act it will be necessary
Tor him to assert title thereto by filing formal
declaration in this bureau 1t was proposed to
amend the law in this regard but the bill has
failed to become law.
Old soldiers need not employ attorneys in order
to procure these increases, but need only inform
the commissioner of pensions that they have passed
the age of 70 or u.s. as the case may be- and there
fore are entitled to the increase provided by law.
Such notification to the pension office with re-
quest for the increase will be honored and acted I'D
on promptly.

Powers Of Commissioner.

Congress has conferred pretty broad
powers upon the commissioner of la
Dor. He can undertake at his discre-
ton any investigation which in his
judgment relates to the welfare of the
working people of the country and he
can employ in this quest for informa-
ton all the means at his disposal and
the corps of statistical experts, special
agents, clerks, ETC., carried on the pay
roll of the bureau of labor. Uncle
Sans labor commissioner may, If he
choose, simply make a report to con-
gress once year on his investigations
but of late years special reports have
been issued monthly or even oftener,
and on a number of occasions the
president has called upon the commits
sioner of labor to make special inquiry
in some field and communicate his
findings as quickly as possible.
The bureau of labor is in reality a
great Intelligence office" that pours
out information through four different
channels. The first of these is made
up of the results of original investiga-
tions conducted by the bureau or it's
agents and experts. Secondly the la
Dor bureau gives the whole country a

Employment Bureau.

Uncle Sam has also inaugurated an
other aid to labor in the form OF the
largest employment bureau in the
world. This is an adjunct Of the bu-
reau of immigration, and Is in charge
Of Terence v. Powderly, at one time
a recognized leader of union labor
throughout the country. 1t is the func-
ton Of this new bureau to inquire as
to the facts about the reported demand
for labor in all parts of the country.
Mr.. Powderly has opened correspond
ence with responsible officers in every
state in the union concerning the need
for labor and the opportunities for en-
ployment in each state and when any
workingman desires to make a change
of location all he has to do is to in
quire of Uncle Sam as to the prospects
in any section in which be would like
to find employment.

Is Doing Good Work.

BY means of an energetic "feld
force" and capable corps of experts
in the home office at Washington this
branch of the government is continu-
ally investigating in all parts of the
Of capital and labor, the hours of Ia
Dor, the earnings of laboring men and
women, and other similarly fruitful
topics. What is more, this public in
stitution is continually striving to pro-
mote the material, social, intellectual
and moral prosperity of the workers.
OF course these government scouts in
the labor field cannot work in a rut.
Indeed the force is SO mobile and the
individual workers so versatile. that
when a serious dispute arises between
employers and employees or there is a
controversy such as that some time
ago regarding conditions in the meat
packing industry all other work at the
bureau can be dropped and all hands
concentrate their attention upon the
causes and facts of the crisis of the
moment.
The late Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets is perhaps entitled to be con-
Stdered the father OF the movement to
have Uncle Sam systematically aid
the cause of labor. 1t was in 1871 that
Mr.. Hoar, then member of the Unit
ed States house of representatives, in
troduced bill providing for the ap-
pointment of commission to study
the subject Of wages and hours of
labor and the division of profits be-
tween labor and capital in the United
States. The bill did not pass but the
ball had been started rolling and final
ly after much agitation congress in
1884 made provision for a bureau of
labor as part of the interior depart
| ment When the department of COM
MERGE and labor was organized In 1908
the bureau of labor was taken under
| its wing as one of its principal
branches.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-08-29

the working classes of the coun-
try has not by any means been
confined to those conspicuous services
with which the publici is familiar. such
as the settlement of the anthracite
coal strike, the enforcement of the
eight-hour day on government work
and the establishment of labor's own
branch of public service-the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Uncle Sam stands ready, of course,
to step into the breach wherever oc-
casiOn demands in an effort to secure
square deal' and living wages for
the toiling masses but even when there
are no clouds on the horizon of the
relations between capital and labor
this paternal government Is busily en-
gagged with the problem of promoting
the welfare of those who labor with
hands or brain. A number Of differ
ent branches of the government are
contributing to this policy but in the
main the work devolves upon the bu-
reau of labor at Washington, which is,
in effect, the labor division of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
Newspaper readers hear of the bu-
reau of labor when its head, the COM
missioner of labor, steps in and at
tempts to arbitrate some strike or
threatened strike, as for instance the
recent difficulties of the telegraphers
of the country, but there is not one
citizen in a thousand who has any
idea of the scope of the everyday work
Of the bureau in acquiring and diffus-
ing useful information on subjects con-
nected with labor in the most general
and most comprehensive sense of that
word.
