The above is more or less truth
full likeness of Will NJ Maupin, editor
of The Wageworker and recently ap-
pointed deputy commissioner of the
Nebraska State Bureau of Labor and
Industrial Statistics incidentally it
might be remarked that Governor
Shallenberger will be the commits
sioner. We don't print this portrait
because we are proud of the face,
hut it is the only face we have. We
are not two-faced. That face was
born on us in 1868, and has been with
us in varying degrees of nudeness and
hairiness ever since. 1t was with us
when we started to learn the printers
trade in 1879; it was with us during
several ne'er-to-be-forgotten tours, and
with us in more than one red-hot ses-
sion OF union men. We cheerfully
confess that it never won us anything.

FOR A HOME.

Jacob Fischer secretary of the Jour-
neymen BARRIERS International Union,
and Thomas l.. Hughes, secretary OF
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, visited the Union Printers
Home at Colorado Springs last week
The object of the visit was to secure
information in regard to the home for
dissemination among the members of
their respective organizations. Both
of these organizations are said to be
contemplating the erection of homes
in Colorado for their old and disabled
members.

friends had bound and gagged us that
we consented to smear likeness of
it on the front page of this glorious
rag of industrial freedom. Our nat
ural modesty revolted at the bare sug-
gestion of such a thing, but what
could we do? You will notice upon
the lapel of the coat button. That's
Typographical Union button. If you
could see inside of the inside pocket
of the aforesaid coat you would see
paid-up union card and the label OF
the United Garment Workers. Also
a few unreceipted bills and a bunch
of unanswered letters. That fancy
vest also bears label, and perhaps a
union-made cigar or two. Copies OF

WILL BECOME EDITOR.
Popular Lincoln Unlonist Will Edit a
Paper at Humboldt, Neb.

Popular Lincoln Unlonist Will Edit a
Paper at Humboldt, Neb.
Will G. Norton, one of the most
popular unionists in Lincoln, has de-
cided to go into business for himself,
and next week will assume the editor
ship and publication Of the Humboldt
Standard. Mr.. Norton has been fore
man of the Western Newspaper Union
composing room for the past year,
and for several years has been work
ing in Lincoln printeries. He is also
member of the Musicians Union and
secretary of that organization. His
removal from Lincoln will be regretted
by host of union men, but they will
be rejoiced to know that he has got
a good thing" in Humboldt.
When he goes to Humboldt he will
not be going among strangers, for he
got his schooling in the schools Of
that busy little city, and he learned
the printers trade in a Humboldt
newspaper Office. AS printer he
ranks with the best in the west, and
he is also good newspaper man. He
will give the people of Humboldt not
only good paper from a news stand
point, but he will give them one that
in typographical appearance will be
one of the best advertisements any
city ever had.
If Billy Norton wins all the sue
cess that The Wageworker and q host
of other friends wish for him, he will
have to charter haywagon to haul
his money to the bank.

Lot Of Important Business.
The printermen held their regular
monthly meeting last Sunday and
broke all records in length of session.
President Ingraham rushed the work
through and the session was the short

The committee reports were all
satisfactory, the committee on revi-

fine, but could not report in detail.
Some of the work will have to lay
over until another important commit
tee has performed it's functions.

LISTENS LIKE THE TRUTH.

If the wife of a union man were
asked to aid strikebreakers during a
strike in which her husband was in
volved, she would be highly incensed,
out she is doing things just as bad
when she spends union-earned money
for goods that do not bear the union
label, and she does it every day in the
year, too.-Reading Advocate.

William D. Haywood, formerly head
of the Western Federation of Miners,
and one of the principals in the ia
nous Idaho case, spoke at the audi
torium last Friday evening. Owing
to the shortness of the notice it was
not possible to advertise the meeting
extensively and as a result the audi
ence was small. Mr.. Haywood told
the story of the Colorado outrages in
detail, but his principal theme was
socialism.

The socialists of Lincoln met last
Sunday afternoon and adopted the
following resolutions and sent them
to Secretary of State Root:
Whereas, in the matter of the hear
ing before U. s. Commissioner Foote,
in the case of Christian Ansoff Rudo-
witz, Russian political refugee, Com
missioner FOote has ruled that said
Rudowitz shall be turned over to the
Russian authorities; and
Whereas, We understand the case
now goes to the department of state
for action; therefore be it
Resolved, That we affirm our be-
lief that any offenses which may
nave been committed by said Rudo-
witz were matters of military neces-
sity and under orders from a revolu-
tionary organization, during a time of
internal war, and were consequently
of political nature. Be 1t further
Resolved, That nation which has
ever prided itself on being the refuge
of the oppressed of all the world, the
nation that sheltered and honored
and was honored by Carl Schurz and
countless other political refugees of
all climes, should not prostitute itself
by violating its glorious traditions OF
freedom in surrending said Rudowitz
to the Russian authorities, and that
we. protest against allowing the de.
portation of this Russian patriot,
Christian Ansoff Ruiowitz, and ask
you not to allow his extradition.''
At last Sundays meeting of Lin
coin Typographical Union No. 200 the
following resolutions were adopted and
sent to Governor-elect Shallenberger:
Whereas, Governor-elect Shallen-
berger has appointed to the honorable

labor commissioner our fellow men,
ber, Will M. Maupin, therefore be it
Resolved, That Lincoln Typograph-
ical Union No. 2O9 convey to Hon. A.
c. Shallenberger it's thanks, assuring
him that this organization appreciates
the honor conferred upon it and upon
a member. But it further
Resolved, That Lincoln Typo.
graphical Union No. 2O9 assures tho
governor-elect that it believes that
under all the surrounding circum.
stances no better appointment than
that of VIII M. Maupin could have
been made, he having for years been
prominently identified with the indus
trial movement and equipped by both
ability and training to successfully
conduct the affairs of department
of the state that can, and should, be
made of great service to the producers,
| whether they, work in shop or upon
farm.
Resolved, That this union tender
to Governor-eieci Shallenberger and
to Will M. Maupin assurance of hearty
cooperation in any and all efforts that
may be put forth to make the bureau

CUTS OFF FINGER.
This Man Declares Injury Should BE
Warning to All Sinners

Warning to All Sinners.
Newcastle, Ind, April 29.-Urged
by an impulse that the Lord had di-
rected him to MAIN, himself in some
manner as a warning to sinners, Eu-
gene Mcdowell, former city engineer,
took an ak and severed finger from
his right hand.
Several months ago Mcdowell re-
signed his position as civil engineer,
giving as his reason that the work
was more than his condition of
health would stand He had always
been deeply interested in his work,
at times working night and day on
profiles and plans of various kinds.
When the resignation was present
ed it was accepted by the council,
his successor was appointed and a
request was made that he assist the
new engineer as much as possible.
In short time it was noticed that
the former engineers mind was af-
fected, and the utmost quiet was re-
CURED by his physicians. Mr.. Nc
Dowell seemed imbued with the spir-
it that the Lord wished him to make
some sacrifice, and while laboring
under this delusion he escaped the
vigilance of those who were caring
for him and cut off finger.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your

Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. II suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself. And
so it is with all the other symptoms
OF kidney disorders. That is just
where the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are caus-
ed by weak or diseased kidneys.
Waxahachie people testify to per-
manent cures.
E. Hopper, farmer, living three
miles north of Waxahachie, Texas,
says: Three years ago when having
an acute attack of kidney trouble,
purchased Doan's Kidney Pills at B.
w. Fearis' Drug Store, used them
and was cured. At that time my back
was very lame and painful and if
managed to stoop, it was all l could
do to straighten again. There was
also difficulty with the kidney Sc
cretions, the passages of same being
entirely too frequent. Doan's Kidney
Pills so completely eliminated the
complaint from my system, that
have had no trouble of the kind
