THE STORY.

NEVER did the cry of the nations of
~ modern history, "the king is dead
long live the king" stir loyal hearts
of the nation with sadder regrets over
the departed ruler, and warm-hearted
support for the leader upon whom the
purple robe had fallen, than did the
cry, which swept over the nation of
Israel centuries before modern history
began to he made:
Jonathan is dead, Simon shall be
our leader"
Great leaders fulfill their mission
and then pass on to give place for 9th
ers. Fortunate. indeed. is that ma.
tion who has great man to step into
the place made vacant by the death of
mighty leader.
Jonathan through treachery came to
an untimely end, and his brother
Simon stepped into the breach and
gave to his nation an even greater
reign than had the former.
With great honors Jonathan was
laid in the splendid tomb at Modin
which Simon caused to be built. This
was the new leaders first task when
called 10 rule. And 1t pleased the peo-
pie, and when he had finished they
asked:
what will he now do to secure our
nation against the troubles which be.

Such was the query on every ones

"He made peace In the land,

Joy:
"For every man sat under his

was none to fray them"
Who can say but that the
Jews at this period believed and
rejoiced that the prophecy Of
Micah had been fulfilled when
he said:
"They shall sit every man
under his vine and under his fig
tree; and none shall make them
afraid; for the mouth Of the
Lord Of Hosts hath spoken it.

And still the Jews are look

have been foretastes of the full

The Christian church is look

others still hold a different in

The purpose Of this movement is
70 keep the people throughout the
State informed as to what is hap
Dening here. This, we believe,
can be better accomplished
through the county papers than
Ghrough the State papers, as
many people take their county
paper that never have the op-
portunity of seeing one of the
State papers.
We trust that some things we
shall say will be of interest to all
of the readers OF The Robeson-
ian. Other things we shall say
will only interest those who have
friends or relatives here, and the
University alumni, scattered
throughout the county.
The University now has the
largest enrolment in it's history
for this early in the term. About
785 nave already registered and
it is thought that the 800 mark
will lie passed before long. We

GERMAN CARP AND HUMANITY.

1t so happens that the gentleman
who edits this humble little labor pa
per is the deputy commissioner of
labor for the state of Nebraska. The
latter fact gives him an opportunity
to gather some statistics that may be
used in his editorial capacity.
The Bureau o. Labor and Industry
is allowed $4,000 year to meet every
expense. including salaries.
The Game and Fish Bureau is al
lowed s11 800 year.
The Labor Bureau has to do with
men, women and children.
The Game and Fish Commission has
to do with suckers. German carp and
turtle doves.
For every dollar allowed by the
state TO safeguard human life, investi-
gate social conditions and enforce san
itation, the state spends three dollars
on the suckers the carp and the
turtle dove.
The state gives the Nebraska Poul-
try Association a thousand dollars a
year so the chicken raisers can get
together, exhibit their fowls and rea-
son together for the uplift of the Buff
Cochins, the Black Langshans and the
Minorcas. When the deputy labor
commissioner asks for $500 a year to
assist the wage-earners of the state
in holding an annual meeting where
they can exhibit their crop of boys
and girls and talk about subjects of
vital interest to the toilers, he is met
with the charge OF being eXtravagant
and told that the state can not afford
to increase its appropriations.
Nebraska's industries have quad
rupled during the last fifteen years.
but the Labor Bureau is allowed less
help and less money than was given
ii fifteen years ago.
The state spends 100000 year in
the interests of farmers by providing
for state farm school. experimental
farms, fairs, institutes, etc, but not a
dollar for work that would be equally
beneficial to the waee-earners. Yet
the wage-earners are half as numerous
as the farmers.
1t must be cheerfully admitted that
not dollar too much is spend in the
interests of the farmers. But it must
also be admitted by any fair-minded
man that not nearly enough is spent
in advancing the interests of the wage
earners.
The present deputy commissioner is
striving to have this wrong corrected.
and he is receiving the support of the
wage-earners. He is also getting
plenty of knocks" and a lot of ex-
Inhibition of Indifference towards the
needs Of the wage-earners.
Perhaps the wage-earners haven't
been insistent enough upon a recogni,
ton Of their rights.

HOME PATRONAGE.

In presenting it's annual "Home
Patronage Edition" The Wageworker
desires to thank the friendly merch-
ants and business men who have CO.
operated. and to bespeak for them,
at the hands of organized labor. a
hearty patronage. If organized labor
would go little stronger on the game
of boosting its friends, and spend a
little less time in knocking it's enc
mics. the results might be more
gratifying. Every time we knock"
on an opponent of organized labor we
advertise him TO the thousands who
are also opposed to organized labor
At the same time, sorry to say, or
ganiZed labor is just careless enough
to keep right on patronizing its OPP
ponents.
With possibly two or three eXcep-
tons the business institutions of Lin
coin are conducted by friends of organ
lied labor-at least. the are conducted
Ivy men who are not opposed to organ
lied labor. But the merchant to whom
organized labor patronage is given is
the merchant who asks for that pa
tronage, seeks to encourage it and
uses mis- best endeavor to get the kind
of goods that organized labor wants
to buy. There are number of such
merchants in Lincoln, and their in
vitations are usually found in The
