WELL HARDLY, ROGER.

We are informed by the grapevine
route that the Honorable Roger Sulli-
van of Illinois has fixed up a demo
cratic political slate whereon appears
the name of Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio as presidential candidate.
This labor paper has studied up on
the record of Governor Harmon, there
fore is not qualified to speak of his
excellency's record op matters of SUI
preme interest to the workers. But
this paper does know something about
Roger Sullivan and his record. And
we are thereby reminded of the story
of Old Dog Tray.
Judson Harmon may be a staunch
friend of organized labor. He may be
constitutional lawyer beyond COM
pare. He may be statesman with
out reproach and an executive without
peer-he may be all these things, yet
II he ties up with Roger Sullivan he
will have a hard time convincing a lot
of us that he isn't just exactly the
opposite. The presidential nominee
who ties up with corporationists of
the Roger Sullivan and Joe Cannon
stripe are going to get almighty little
comfort out of the organized labor
vote in future. A lot of us who are
democrats will take Lafollette or a
Cummings before We will take the
willing tool of Roger Sullivan or Char
ley Murphy. A lot of us who are re-
publicans will take Folk or Cul-
berson before we will take another
willing tool of the Aldriches and Can
mons and Morgans.
Party ties are sitting lightly on the
shoulders of men these days, and this
is especially true of the men who eat
their bread in the sweat of their faces.

Big Business Drifting Rapidly East Of

Five or six years ago they told us
and some of us said so ourselves
that o street east of Thirteenth street
would never amount to anything as

We've got about every line of legitl

that inside of year. Drug stores,
hardware stores, banks, hotels, clotn-

meat markets, restaurants, coal and

MR.. SHARPE NOT SATISFIED.

President Sharpe OF the Lincoln
Traction Co. insists that The Wage
workers apology was worse than the
original offense-referring specific
ally to the little matter of uniforms
for the motormen and conductors For
this The Wageworker is truly sorry.
We want to be absolutely fair to
President Sharpe and to the Lincoln
Traction Co., Withholding nothing of
praise when praise is deserved, and
sparing nothing of censure when cen
sure Is deserved. Frankly we believe
that up to date the company is deserv-
ing of more censure than commend
alton, but be that as it may. We alb
solve President Sharpe, and other
managers Of the company, from any
blame whatsoever IL blame there be
in the matter of those uniforms.
After careful investigation we find that
the employees themselves decided on
the kind of uniform. and were given
liberty to get them anywhere they
pleased. That they were required to
uniform themselves was perfectly pro-
per. President Sharpe very properly
ordered that all motormen and con-
ductors should appear in uniform
after certain term of service, or else
be laid off until such time as they
did so appear. We believe all this
is conducive to better discipline as
well as conducive to better service
towards passengers.
But really, IL President Sharpe
wants to secure the best discipline,
get the best service and the most
loyal support from the motormen and
conductors. let him recognize their
right to organize, then recognize the
organization and deal with it just as
he must deal with the representatives
of the big concerns from which he buys
supplies, or with the representatives
of the big financial concerns. OF
course this recognition might make q
few old-time employees feel sore after
they have tried to play favorites" by
kow-towing to certain straw bosses
but they don't count for much rea
worth.
Now that we have tried our leve
best to square ourselves on the uni
form proposition, will Presiden
Sharpe kindly tell us. plainly and un
equivocally. why it would not, in hi
belief. pay him and his company Il
recognize the Amalgamated Associat
ion of Street and Electric Railwa.

LABOR SHOULD AWAKE.
Organize and Get Balance of Power
in Congress.

in Congress.
We trade unionists of this country
should be impressed by the fact that
tEirty-three delegates to the last Bri-
tish Trades Union Congress are mem
bers of the British Parliament, and
We're elected by union labor votes.
How does the American Federation
of Labor representation in Congress
compare with this British record? II
looks as if the Britishers are far
wiser than the American trade union
lists, though much slower in some re.
spects. We should be ashamed OF
ourselves to allow any other country
on earth to beat us in this matter,
but we have no one except ourselves
to blame. Wake up, boys! We can
capture the balance of power in Con-
gress if We elect our friends to that
body, and then we can get whatever
legislation we need or desire. Let's
go out after this balance of power.
1t will require time, but we can afford
to wait if patience will bring results.

to rejoice over. Perhaps we can now
settle down to matters of business
and proceed with our regular work.
But we are glad it came up. Any
time any considerable number of peO-
pie are interested in bringing up some
question for settlement at the polls,
The Wageworker force will sign a
petition for a referendum. We are
We've fought for it for a quarter of
a century We want to see it in force
and effect as state law. The pres
ent system under which we operate
as state, and which we call "repre-
sentative government" is CHASTITY
joke. 1t is anything but represen-
tative of the people. The Wageworker
is for direct legislation-the initiative
and referendum-and it believes that
every other progressive institution,
and every progressive, right-thinking
man, ought to be for it. The Direct
Legislation League ought to be the
biggest organization in Nebraska.
Let the people rule!"
That's mighty good slogan. But
the people will not rule as long as
corporations can buy individuals. The
masses are honest, but too many in
dividuals are dishonest politically.
But now that we've settled the ex-
else question for at least year, let's
accept the verdict and whoop her up
for bigger and better Lincoln.

A WISE JUDGE.
Lets Fall Words That Should Soak
Deep Into Unionists.


Deep Into Unionists.
Judge Alfred J. Murphy, of Detroit,
Mich, in an address delivered recent
ly, said:
Society has no respect for the in
telligence Of workingmen who take
no interest in the organization of la
Dor. In proportion to their weakness
in the spirit of unionism they lose
the confidence and support of the
public 1t is the spirit of the times.
1t should not require argument to SO
convince wage earners. To maintain
strong organizations in the true spir-
it of unionism is the only way for
labor to be prepared for crisis"
The truth in the above should sink
deep in the hearts of all who toll
