~ ~HRISTMAS has it's Santa Claus, & / Easter It's eggs and the Fourth of " July it's fireworks, but Thanksgiv- 0ing-the day of all days for the
 'rah-rah' boys-boasts a symbol that is undeniably it's own-the football Most people outgrow Kris .Kringle, eggs and fireerackers, but once a football en- thusiast, always a follower of the pigskin.
 Though the microbe of footballitis has not as yet received the respectful con sideration due 1t from science, there is hope that at some future date these sayants will seize it between their thumb and their index finger. tickle it bit on the ribs ito make 1t open it's mouth and then x-ray it's stingerino. Of course. the Cook -Peary exchange of peasantries must be settled first, and that naturally pre- cludes any possible steps in this direction until the cows come home, or at last until Jeffries really fights Johnson.
 And yet even to the lay mind there are several known facts about this same foot ball microbe easily eomprehensible. It seems to be a germ especially indigenous to times of public rejoicings and celebra- tions and bloodthirsty in action. For ex- ample. when it looked to a royal rogue of the bygone centuries like "a big night fonight," he summoned his warriors and gladiators, placed them face to face in an inclosed field and hung up a prize for the side that pushed and pummeled the other off the map first A number of the Roman emperors and the general public seem to have been stung by this microbe, for if history is reliable, did they not boot and root and cheer their favorites in the arena? Verify. they did!
 Very well, then, take hop. skip and a jump over the intervening centuries and come down to the present. On Thanks giving Day all over this broad, trust beridden land, from Podunk, Fla, to the City of Brotherly Love, do not divers and sundry peoples hie themselves to an in closed field and root, root and cheer their Inoleskin-clad favorites on the grldiron? Whats thatf The simile fails because we did not mention anything at the Roman games that corresponds to the modern city ambulance waiting to carry off the stung? Oh, well, If you're going to bubble over trivial detail of that sort, how in the world can we ever get anywhere with this gentle effusion?
 -l You see the main point, though. don't you? And you are satisfied that the same microbe that improved each shining hour in those days is still on the job this Thanksgiving? Of course-why, of course, man--gladiators and football players look alike to him. He's got to sting somebody for something, hasn't he? All right? Very well. then.
 The cause of footballitis having been considered and disposed of in this neces- sarily 'cursory manner, the disease itself Is now to be investigated. Of course, if the inquiry is conducted in the manner customary among Congressional commit tees but few and unsatisfactory results will be obtairnd. Rather let it be ap- preached in that spirit that animates the

SAVE THE POTATO WATER.
Much of Most NItt.ttcus Part of Ve3e-
table Is in Ii.

The water in which pared potatoes
have been boiled should never be
wasted, as it cont aims much of the
most nutritious part of the potato, but
it is usually thrown away, except
when used for bread. To make a
delicious, wholesome gravy when
milk is scarce lift out the potatoes
carefully with a fork, setting the dish
in the oven to dry the potatoes and
keep them warm. Thcken the potato
water with flour and season with salt
and butter For a savory, nourishing
soup, mash few potatoes and put
them back into the water in which
they were boiled, season with onion,
celery salt, or the water in which
celery tops have been boiled, and add
cream or milk and butter. This is one
of the most palatable and economical
soups that can be made. If the soup
is not wanted Immediately the potato
water can be saved for the next meal
or until the next day, or the soup can
be made at once, as it is equally good
warmed up for lateral meal.

AN ARBITRATION COMMISSION,

Lincoln Typographical Union has
taken the lead in movement to
secure a modification of the injunction
writ to the extent that trial by jury
will be provided for in cases of in
direct contempt, and a speedy hear
ing and final determination had on
all temporary injunctions issued in
cases where labor issues are involved.
upon a national platform declaring in
favor of these very things there should
be no difficulty III securing the neces-
sary legislation. In this effort the
Typographical Union should have the
support of every other organization.
But there is another thing that the
trades unions should work for and
that is the establishment of a state
arbitration commission to inquire
into and report findings on all indus
trial disputes. The Wageworker
would not for minute advocate or
give support to 9 compulsory arbitra-
ton plan. II is. however, in favor Of
a commission that will make public
the results of its Investigations and
leave the matter then for public opin-
ion to enforce. In brief the plan is
this: When an industrial dispute
arises either party to the dispute may
request the services of the arbirta-
ton commission, the commission to
be composed of one member selected
by one party to the dispute, another
member by the other party thereto,
and the third member by these two.
The commission shall be presided over
by the deputy commissioner of labor
who shall have no vote, nor voice
other than to decide questions of par
liamentary practice. The findings of
the commission should then be offered
to the newspapers for publication, but
there shall be no compulsory com.
pliance with the findings. The Wage
worker believes that neither party to
the contention could afford to ignore
the weight OF public opinion.
The plan of compulsory arbitration,
proposed by some, does not, in the
very nature of things. appeal to the
wage.earners. 1t would be too easy
TO compel the workers to abide by
the results. and too difficult to make
an arrogant corporation abide there
by. Besides. the weight of money
would count too heavily upon one side.
Again, compulsory arbitration pre-
sumes standing commission. and
that will ever be opposed by organ
lied labor.
Such a plan OF arbitration as out
lined above will. in the opinion OF
The Wageworker. meet with the APP
rroval of the wage-earners.

AN EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY"

The Union Carpenters of Lincoln
have evolved an idea that should be
carefully considered by the unionists
of the city. 1t is for the unions to
employ a man all of the time whose
duty it will be not only to educate
trades unionists to their duty as union
men. but to educate the general pub
lie aS to what trades unionism really
Is. The trouble with union men is
their ignorance, and the trouble with
the general public is it's ignorance A
great majority oil union men know
why thew are union men, but a small
minority only can tell why they are
union men. The general public has
a wrong idea of trades unionism, and
this Is due to the fact that they have
secured their information from
sources that are prejudiced agains'
the unions. Talk to the average pro
fessional man about trades unionisn
and he will almost invariably bass
his opposition to trades unions OF
two mistaken ideas. First, he will de
clare that the unions insist that tn,
employer pay the poor workman tn,
same wages as the good workman
Second. he will declare that the uniol
man denies the non-union man tn
right to work. All this is, of course
ridiculous. but the average profes
sional man believes it, and he Away
will believe it unless union men di.
abuse his mind. An "educationa
secretary" or whatever he may b
I called, could do immense service t
the cause of unionism by settin
unions right before the public.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-02-13

Again, the general public has little
Tor no connection of what trades unions
are doing for the social uplift; no
conception of what the unions are
doing to better conditions for men
and women. AS one delegate to the
Central Labor Union aptly remarked
while discussing this topic, "The
trouble is that the commandment.
thou shalt love the Lord, thy God,
with all thy soul, and thy neighbor
as myself has been divided, the
church taking the first part of it and
leaving the rest of it to be kicked
around loose until the trades unions
took it up."
That expresses the case fully. The
church is spending so much time look
ing after the hereafter that it has no
the minister and the church member
will Indignantly deny this, but the
denial will not go far with men vino
Ifave studied both the work of the
church and the work of the trades
union. An educational secretary"
could give the church a lot of pointers
on how it could reach the working
man, and at the same time disabuse
the minds of the workingman of some
of the wrong notions concerning the
ohurch's attitude towards him. There
is woeful lot of ignorance on both
sides. Money spent in dissipatirg
TINS ignorance, possessed by all Of
us. would be well spent. The the
atrical attraction that tries to do with
last long. The merchant who tries
to do without advertising seldom cuts
much of 2 figure in the business
world. The trouble with trades
unions is, largely, that they have
neglected to properly advertise their
merits to the world. But the OPP
ronents of trades unionism have lost
no opportunities to advertise the de-
merits of unionism-and they haven't
been very particular with the truth
in doing it,
This matter of an educational sec
retary' is we'll worth the careful con-
sideration of every union in the city.
II we'll put in little less time on
non-essentials and little more time
on essentials we'll make better
progress.

THE CHARTER WILL NOT Ok
Think i. over.

The charter proposed for the city
of Lincoln will not do. AS it now
stands it will be opposed by the trades
unionists of Lincoln. The idealists
who are dreaming, and the silk
stockings" who are scheming may as
And the trades unionists of Lincoln
will try to exert ONE influence in
Legislative circles.
In the first place, the May election
date is unfair to large body of
honest workingmen. In the second
place, a nominal salary for a bunch
of figureheads is repugnant to men
who believe in fair wages for fair
work. This thing Of talking about
wealthy men giving their time to the
| city for nothing, merely as a civic
duty, is all tommy-rot. City govern
ment. like state government, is sup
rosedly representative. And man
of wealth. either inherited or secured
by unexpected rise in real estate
values, or any other method other
than grinding toll, has no conception
whatever of the needs and desires OF
men who are compelled to sweat daily
IN order to eat regularly.
Organized labor is demanding
fair deal for every man-and organ
lied labor has no difficulty in seeing
that the May election date is aimed
for the purpose of depriving' a lot CT
industrious citizens of foreign birth o"
right to participate in civic affairs
And organized labor, being practical
because it deals with practical things
every day, can see the unfairneSs of
any scheme which will deprive the
toilers of an opportunity to hold city
Office.
The Wageworker rather opines that
| it knows something about the senti-
ment of the wage-earners of Lincoln,
and it has no hesitancy in saying
that the unpaid commission does not
meet with their approval Neither
does the May election date. And The
Wageworker is opposed to both
schemes, ans; will voice that opposi-
ton where it thinks it will do the
most good.
