THE vAPoRlNcs OF ELIOT.

Ex-President Eliot is vaporing again
He would have all trades and labor
unions prohibited by law on various
grounds that he sets forth. The trou-
BILE with Eliot is that he outlived his
usefulness about thirty years ago. He
is mentally incapable of grasping the
facts of today, and he is living in the
mental atmosphere of long vanished
yesterday No one will take seriously
anything that Eliot now sees fit to
say. Rather is he to be looked upon
as harmless old man whose dodder-
ing mind makes him an object of pity
rather than an object to be seriously
considered. It is sad to see a man
once so great mentally still living on
with mind SO atrophied that it can
not grasp present day conditions.
The friends of Eliot, the men who
admire him for the great mind he once
possessed, owe it to him to guard him
zealously frora the public, and keep
him in the quiet retirement he has
so well earned but which he is men
tally incapable of seizing for himself.
To allow him to run at large is to
allow him to undo all the work he has
done in the past.
And while Eliot is vaporing against
the unions, the unions are going right
ahead with their great work of bet
tering industrial conditions, holding
out hope to the otherwise hopeless, car
ing for the sick and distressed, feed
ing and clothing the widow and the
orphan, and standing as barrier be-
tween the greed of the few and the
of the many. Long after
the meory of Eliot has faded from
the minds Of men the trades unions
will be alive, vital factors in the bet
terment of the race.

TO ORGANIZE BLACK HILLS.
Unions Take Steps to Add Workmen
in Camps

Unions Take Steps to Add Workmen
in Camps.
Lead, s. D.-A mass meeting OF the
miners from the Lead and Central un-
ions was held in this city with the
object of bringing into the unions all
of the men working in the two camps.
Hitherto there have been large num-
ber of men in both this city and Cen
trail, employed by the Homestake, not
belonging to the unions. Within the
last few weeks, however, great efforts
have been made to persuade all of the
workers to affiliate with the unions
The membership has grown rapidly
and the matter reached an apparent
elimination yesterday when the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
Whereas, A resolution adopted on
October 10 calling upon all workers
in this jurisdiction to join the w. F.
of NJ, has been quite generally COM
piled with; therefore be it
Resolved, by us, the members of
tuo Lodu ClLy Mlu0TS OulOu NO. u,
w. F. of NJ, and Central City Miners
Union No. 8, w. F. of NJ, in joint ses-
sion assembled, that all men neglect
ing or refusing to become members in
good standing of the local in whose
jurisdiction they may be working on
or before November 25, 1909, will be
declared unfair to the w. F. of NJ
and be it further
Resolved, That we, the members of
the aforesaid unions refuse to work
with any and all men who become un-
fair to our organization by or through
refusing to comply with the provisions
of this resolution"
Vice President Mahoney of the w.
F. of M. was present and made brief
address, assuring the locals that the
w. F. of M. would back them up In
their efforts to organize the Black
Hills. The secretary of the Lead un-
ion reported that about 400 men had
been taken in since the earlier meet
ing and the Central union reported a
corresponding increase.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

In future The Wageworker will ap-
pear under the joint management of
the undersigned and Mr.. w. P. Ho-
gard, the firm name being Maupin &
Hogard.
Mr.. Hogard, who assumes the active
business management of The Wage
worker. is a member of the Typograph-
ical Union, and has had considerable
experience in the newspaper publish
ing business. He has been employed
at the State Journal job rooms for
several months past.
I have felt impelled to take this
step by reason of the many difficulties
that have arisen during the almost six
years The Wageworker has been con-
Quoted by me. The Wageworker was
established after more than a half
dozen futile attempts to conduct a
labor paper in Lincoln, and so far as
the records show, this little labor
paper is the only one that lived more
than three or four months. For near
ly six years it has appeared every
week, although at times the outlook
was pretty dark. But there have been
loyal unionists who never faltered in
their support, and The Wageworker
has always managed to surmount the
difficulties that surround it. have
been so busy attending to other du-
ties that it has been impossible for
me to give the business management
the attention it ought to have, and
1t has been in the hands of others
who did not. and in the very nature
of things could not, take the interest
that an active unionist and owner
would take. For the Searles Publish
ing Co., which has had charge of the
business management for the past five
months, I have only the best of feel
ing, and the change here announced is
in no wise due to any fault of that
company. But l believe that the in
terests OF The Wageworker. and there
by the interests of the union move
ment in this community, will be bet
ter served If an active unionist like
Mr.. Hogard is interested with me in
the publication of the paper.
To the loyal unions and unionists
who have stood by me during the six
years of The Wageworker's existence
desire to express my hearty thanks,
and to ask of them continuance of
that support under conditions that
promise more of benefit to them For
Mr.. Hogard l ask the same kindly
treatment that has always been ac-
corded to me, and If this shall be the
case Mr.. Hogard will have no regrets.
shall continue to edit The Wage
worker and Mr.. Hogard will attend
to the business end of the paper.
believe the best promise for the
future will be to recall the past of
The Wageworker. 1t is first an ex-
ponent Of trades union principles. and
never a partisan organ. 1t is, and as
long as am in editorial charge will
be, entirely free from entangling al
liances, and the only string attached
to it is union made.
With renewed thanks to those who
have been stunch in their support, and
asking a continuance Of the same un-
der the new conditions, I am, Yours
fraternally,
WILL NJ. MAUPIN.

CORN BREAD.

(By a Cornfeld "Bard.")
Down on the farm where pleasures
are rife,
Mosquitoes and hook-worms are
threatening my life,
Up in the city at the big hotels,
There's tuberculosis to be caught
from the swells.
Wherever I go on lard or on sea,
The label of death is a confronting
But the label I despise, reject. and
dread
Is the label they've lately put on
corn bread!
What from usthis old standby take,
Our pioneer friend, the old orn cake!
How could I eat We turnip green's
Without we aid time corn dumplins?
Oh, let me beg what e'er we do"
owe will do" something, there's no
doubt).
It it be alice same to you
Please let us not cut corn bread out!
Corn bread pellegraus! D-great gee
minees,
Amt that a nation of a note?
Eat all the corn bread that you please,
So you don't get it hung in your throat
Take a + Of your throat and eat
right away,
There's no other danger. I VOW,
Any man who would contract Pellegra
Ought to be dead anyhow!
But if. in fact, we've really got
A disease inc cannot treat it
Then we know it's Johnnie rot,
Or to the jungles beat it!
But there is Teddy, by the way,
Stop him In his gay pursuits,
Tell him we have p~elegra.
To bring us home some Afric-roots!
Now let he brat who vas stupid
enough
To give corn bread the lie.
Resort to Africaners rough
And root like a hog till e die!
And if he should die of pellegra
With customs don't be satisfied,
But turn his claws the other way
So he'll scratch out on yonder side!

cause less delays. The multiple unit

much more rapidly than do the steam

suburban schedules, and they can
maintain better schedule time with

Native of North Carolina, Now Ldv-

(Fayetteville Observer
The Providence, Rhode Island, Jour
nal, publishes a picture of the New
Nashawena mill, now under construc-
ton at New Bedford, designed by Mr..
Charles r.. Makepeace, g. North Caro-
linian. and a nephew Of our townsman,
Colin McRae. ESQ.
The Journal says that it is the
largest manufacturing plant in the
world, constructed at one time, 1t
will employ more thar four thousand
hands. The main building is 500 feet
long and 1876 feet wide. Of four stories.
In front is to be a weave shed 500
feet long, $50 feet wide. with a base
ment.
The front of the mill will consist
of 80 per cent Of glass. The plant Is
to be driven by electricity. In the
plant will be 10000 spind1es, $4,000
frame spindles and $1,000 mule spin
dies. Located in the weave room are
to be 1000 looms on cotton, and 1000
more for a mixture of cotton and silk.

covers II acres of floor space.

NOTES OF THE SHEEP FOLD

1t does not pay to keep ewes more
than S years old unless they have
proven wonderfully prolific.
In order to obtain the fullest value
for the Angora fleece it is absolutely
necessary to sell the long and short
hair separately.
In Selecting a ram part the fleece
AMI examine the skin. A bright, clear
skin with the vigorous blood showing
through is an indication of health and
vigor. A chalky skin is almost q sure
sign of internal parasites.
Sheep raisers in England and Scot
land place great reliance on turnips.
Liberal feeding is required in the
breeding flock if good results are to
be had.
Don't let the children tease the
young ram. The boys think it great
fun to see him back off a little or get
ready to butt, but it may make the
animal vicious.
Raising goats for market is a profit
able business if conducted with good
breeds. Scrubs don't pay.

Culture.
(Lenoir TOpic.)
Farmers and fruit growers have
long felt the need of an apple tree
that will bear every yea To meet
this requirement. Squire J. A. Dula
has originated on his farm near town
a large, finely favored apple which
he names the "Neverfail," and which
he developed by crossing a Winter
John apple with a Dula Beauty. The
Neverfails not only bear fruit every
year but they are prolific. This fall,
from two small, eight-year-old trees.
Mr.. Dula gathered 80 bushel Of fine
apples. The Squire has also demon
strated the value of spraying trees
n fruit. He has taken the ordinary
Limbertwig and by spraying he has
developed an apple that is larger and
better favored than the original. The
fruit is also free from defects COM
mon in most apples.

Ihere is plenty Of land in the South.
They are not lands where neglect
Is found" nor are they lands that are
by "toil uncrowned." They are sim
ply unsettled lands. They are simply
lands hat there is nobody for. They
are simply lands awaiting develop
ment. They are part Of the general
domain Of manless land. It is all very
much as the San F~ran<isco Chronicle
puts 1t:
It is a singular fact that the plea
OF a dearth of agricultural land should
prevail anywhere in this country
where the population still bears such
q small numerical relation to THE
area Of good soil. Japan, which is
about the size Of California, contains
ten times our number Of inhabitants,
and California could easily support
100000 without combining farmers
to areas Of land too limited for their
profitable use. The South is still open
to ~multi-mfllions of Industrious men.
So Is the middle West; and, strange to
say. there remains plenty of room in
the populous East. We have in mind
a, fertile country six hours by rail
from New York city, close to cities
Of from $4,000 to 100. 900 people,
where the population is less than 1t
was in 1870. This is not the fault
Of the soil or OF the market It
simply means that the young men
have been drawn to the nearby cities
and that emigrants have passed it by
en- route West, causing the acre price
to run down from 800 to a maximum
of $50 and a minimum of SO. The
country is given to dairying and hops
and ought, under less archaic meth
DDS OF cultivation, to support twice
its present number of farmers. There
are hundreds of such districts in the
fertile middle States, to say nothing
of those In the vastly under-populated
South, where LAND is as cheap, all
things considered, as it is anywhere
on the continent.
: There Is plenty Of land left. And
all we need Is a population that can
quit writing poetry and go to farm
ing: then our soil "by toll UNI
crowned" will be won over to it's In
heritance.
