AN AMUSING cUss.

Charles W. Post, late of Battle

"amoosin' kuss." as Artemus Ward
said of his kangaroo. His diatribe in
the Tuesday dailies, Free Riot
Laws" was so silly, SO vindictive. for
full of falsehood and so malicious that
it hurt not one but Post.
Perhaps there are few people in
this immediate vicinity who do not
know Charles w. Post. If such there
be, The Wageworker will endeavor
to enlighten them.
Charles W. Post is the manufactur-
er of an alleged breakfast food and
a substitute for coffee. 1t has been

A DOUBTFUL TRICK.

II The Wageworker is not badly |
Thomas Darnall of Lin
coin played a very low trick upon the
unionists of Fremont few days ago.
Mr. Darnall, who poses as the legal
advisor of the Nebraska Anti-Saloon
League, went to Fremont recently and
advertised a lecture, claiming that
wood trial and other matters of in
terest to union men. 1t was stated
in the advance notices that Mr.. Darn
all was qualified to speak on this top
ic, having visited the scene, heard a
portion of the trial, and studied the
question thoroughly. Fremont is
organized city, and naturally the union
men turned out in numbers to hear
the speaker.
1t transpired that Mr.. Darnall did
not speak on the announced subject.
1t appears that he simply used that
as a bait to get union men out SO he
could deliver himself of his usual IT,
rade against the liquor dealers and
all those who are not like himself.
blatant prohibitionists, who are as
Incorporate in language as some men
are IN their libations Mr.. Darnall
spent about three minutes in a gen.
eral mention of the labor question, and
then proceeded to give vent to his
stereotyped prohibition speech.
OF course Mr. Darnall is well with
in his rights when he fights the sa-
loon, and also well within his rights
when he occupies the public ros-
trum to denounce the liquor interests.
But he was guilty of gross falsehood
if he announced an address on labor
in order to attract an audience OF
workingmen, and then, having them
in front of him, proceeded to talk
about something else. This may ap-
pear to Mr.. Darnall to be perfectly
proper and wholly moral, but there
are lot of people who will character
ize it as being as dishonest as sub
shutting deleterious substances for
the drugs prescribed by "a physician.
OF course Mr.. Darnall may salve his
conscience by saying that after all
| what he had to say was of great bene-
| fit to the workingmen who were de-
luded into hearing him. And doubt
| less that it what he will say if asked
! for an explanation. There are a lot of
men and women connected with the
Anti-Saloon League who are too hon
| est to condone such species of de-
| ception.
We are not going to denounce Mr.
Darnall. We have performed our
| duty when we issue this warning to
| the state. If they want to hear an
anti-saloon speech they can be salts
fed by listening to Mr.. Darnall, pro-
vided they are that easily satisfied.
But if he advertises a talk on labor
topics they are warned that he is
trying to sell them a gold brick.
1t is not SO stated, but doubtless Mr..
Darnall was not entirely satisfied with
the results of the collection taken up
at his Fremont meeting

Cards.


Union men are not made simply by
initiation.
The wise man studies both sides
of question.
No genuine union man can be a
slave to party.
Unionism is matter of practice,
not of words
Heaven does not always help those
who help themselves. Sometimes it
is the sheriff
The man who is behind in his dues
has no moral right to kick on the ex-
penditure of union funds.
No union advocates strikes, but a
union without strike clause in it's
constitution is emasculated.
Scattering at the ballot box and
marching solidly on Labor Day will
never win Industrial battles.
The non-union employer says he
wants to run his business to suit him.
self. But he doesn't add the other
truth-that he wants to run his en-
ployees' business to suit himself too.

Ground Out BY Card Man in The

Facts.
face is fairly blue;
You can show your working card
paid up to date,
You may spout from hell to breakfast
of your unionism true,
But some honest facts it's well right
here to state.
If you haven't got the label on your
clothing, hats and shoes;
If you're smoking -sscab" tobacco
every day.,
You are "scabbing" on your fellows
without shadow of excuse.
And you'd better square yourself
without delay.
When you spout your unionism best
be careful that your face
Isn't filled up with "scab" made
cigaret;
For this talk of unionism doesn't come
with best of grace
From a ''scab" tobacco laden breath
not yet.
When your working card you gather
from the pocket of a coat
That no label ever has been sewed
therein.
You are "scabbing' on your fellows,
| you are handing them the goat
| And your union talk is most al
mighty thin
When you prate of Gnionism and de
/ clare that you are square"
Best be careful you've a label in
your hat
For all talk of unionism through Z
'scab'' hat is hot air,
And it makes your union claim.

legislative Poker Game.

Detectives raided room in the
Kimball house, one of Atlanta's lead
ing hotels, and arrested five members
of the Georgia legislature, who it is
charged were engaged in a game Of
poker.
When the detectives rushed into the
room there was jackpot on the table
worth $500.
The legislators got busy with the
phone and through influence" kept
their names off the police record af-
ter giving $500 bail each.
The room was fitted up with a reg
ular poker table and the detectives
allege that it has been used for gam
bling by legislators ever since the
member whose room is used does not
play himself, but watches the kitty
and gets good rakeoff from the poker
loving members of the house and SEN
ate.
The officers also found all sorts of
liquors in the room for the refresh
ment of those who patronized the leg
islative poker table.
The present Legislature is known as
the reform body, but the recent dis
coyery of blind tiger in the capitol
and of a legislative gambling room
today has caused many to doubt the
