1.-THE WOMAN INVASION"

Every union man who wants to be
more intelligent-and therefore bet
ter equipped for life's Straightforward
to be reading a series of articles now
running in Everybody's Magazine un-
der the title of "The Woman's In
vasion." The series is written by Will
liam Hard, Rheta Childe Dorr, collabo-
rator.
Nothing better concerning the indus
trial conditions that now prevail has
been offered; nothing clearer in the
way of argument in favor of trades
unionism has been presented. We are
not prepared to say that Everybody's
Magazine is striving to upbuild trades
unionism, nor that Mr.. Hard is an ar
dent supporter of trades unionism.
But the fact that his Investigations
lead inevitably to the trades union
conclusion is proof that trades union
ism is right.
Every union man who is ambitious
to be fortified with argument in sup
port of his trades unionism, and every
man and woman who is interested in
solving the industrial problem and ap-
plying the remedy should read the
series of articles herein mentioned.

OF one thing The Wageworker is
sure-the union men of Lincoln can
furnish a dozen and a half of men who
could transact the city's business just
as we'll, and with considerable less or

If organized labor objects to the
principle of local option it simply stul-

Three or four hundred lawyers came
to Lincoln this week to recommend
six or eight of their number for APP
pointment to the supreme court bench.
You couldn't get that many union men
together for the purpose of boosting
fellow unionist into Office. Yet there
are ten times as many union men as
lawyers in Nebraska. Perhaps this
will explain why the lawyers '.get the
money"

The prospects are that Lincoln will
adopt the commission system Of NUM-
cipal government-fivcm men to conduct
the affairs of the city. Of course union
men will overlook the opportunity of
securing representation on the COM
mission. They seem to dearly love
being represented by lawyers and poll
ticians.

Premature Politics.

The announcement given out with
a flourish Of triumpets few days ago
in Jackson that the Hon. ChaS
Scott was again a candidate for
Governor seems to have met a cold
reception at the hands Of the press OF
the state. The fact is, the public is
in no frame Of mind now to tolerate
the opening Of a state campaign, and
that more that two years ahead of
time. The people are applying them
selves to the improvement Of their
social, educational and business con-
ditions and they shudder, almost, at
the thought of warm political cam
paign. Our political contests are no
doubt, one of the most potent means
Of healthy politics and the develop
ment of our country along civic and
economic lines, nevertheless, the peo-
Pile stand on the brink, as it were,

ments for the issues Of = state and

trepidatiOn. In a certain sense, they
dread the intensity and excitement Of
it. They know from experience how
John, Joe, Henry and Jim and every
body else gets wrapped up in our sta te
primaries. They know that ther e
has not been an election for state an d
county officers for years over which
friends have not separated and wounds
were not made that the soothing
voice of time only can rectify. 1t is
human nature to defer the evil day
as long as possible, hence it is but
natural that the people would prefer
to defer the turmoil incident to state
politics to the last moment. And the
man that truly loves his state and his
people will not be the means or instru
ment Of feeding the flames Of politics
all the time. Good government in
Mississippi is not dependent upon the
political success OF any one man.
TO say that Mr.. Scott will get the
vote he got before, all OF Noel's vote
and the greater part of Truly's vote
does seem to show a Super-abundance>
OF ego and to those making any such
calculations, we would say keep in
mind the barefoot orphan boy" OF
COahoma county, unless they expect
their figures to be very much disturb

wet nurses Of Mr.. Scott'S political
fortunes have blundered again.

the South that her political pLlicy

affairs. He Insisted that there w.s
no longer any need to fear negro dOmi-
nation and that the North was willing
to stand by any election laws the
South passed that squared with the
fifteenth amendment. Touching the
institution OF slavery, Mr.. Taft said:

SECRET HAS BEEN SOLVED.

at the Force school, Throughout the

children about Quentin's age has been
lavishing h0t-house blossoms on his
teacher.
Repeated inquiries brought out only
the fact that the flowers were given
70 the youth. Quentin left the city
and simultaneOusly the daily floral
gift failed to appear. Now it has been
learned the flowers came from the
white house conservatory.
Quentin and the boy had made the
bargain, The presidents son was TO

struck and everybody was happy.
