THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES

Some good men have been nominated
for the legislature in Lancaster county
that is, they have filed for nomina-
ton. But you will search the lists of
fling in vain if you search them to
find the names of wage earners-men
who toll for wage The socialists have
filed real wage earners. but no one i'm
AGNES for minute that single one
of them stands the ghost of a show
of election. There are lawyers galore,
insurance agents in profusion, mer
,chants, farmer or two-but not a
single mechanic; not single man who
tolls for wage in mill, shop or factory.
The state university will be taken care
of. to be sure; but what about the
toiling men and women who can scarce
ly hope under present conditions to
save their children from the mill and
shop and factory long enough to give
them university education? The in
surance business will receive attention
bine given respectful consideration.
But what about the toilers who are be-
ing crushed between the upper mill
stone of necessity and the neither mill
stone of injunction and blacklist?
Property will receive the usual protec-
ton. but what will be done for the pro-
lection of the man who grinds his life
amidst the whirring wheels of the fac
ho 10 - &c oh
Who will be in the legislature to give
thoughtful consideration to such vital
questions as assumption of risks, in
dustrial insurance, employer liability
and others of equally important naturel
There will not be single one.
And why2 Simply and solely because
the workers have not yet been able to
emancipate themselves from the slav-
cry to party. They have not been
able to free themselves from the petty
and mean iealousies that impel them to
"knock' every comrade who tries to
forge to the front, and accuse every
man of graft who tries to blaze the
way. There are enough republican I'M
ion men in Lancaster county to abso-
lutely control the primaries on August
l6. There are enough democratic I'M
ion men in the county to control the
democratic primaries. There are enough
of the two together to elect seven union
men to the legislature if they would
vote together.
But there is not single union man
not single genuine wage Garner
filed for nomination on either of the
old party tickets, and next election day
we will either have to vote for the same
old list of partisan candidates or re-
main at home. And when the legislat-
ure shall have adjourned without giving
the wage earners any measure of pro-
lection and relief we will get together
in small groups and "chew the rag
and whine about "having no show
Isn't it God IS truth?

THE PARTY PLATFORMS.


Last Tuesday the four political par
ties of the state-democrat, republican,
populist and socialist-met in state con-
ventions and built the platforms upon
which they elect to stand. These con-
ventions had nothing to do but to
frame platforms. There were no nomi-
nations to make, no logrolling for ia
vorites to perform. The trainers of the
primary law evidently felt that plat
form conventions, such as provided for,
free from the jockeying of candidates,
would enable the parties to frame plat
forms worthy of the name. But it
seems to have been vain hope. 1t
would seem that the two big conven-
tons were wrought up over what many
consider non.political issue to point
never reached in the old convention
days. eThe prohibitionists could afford
to sit quiet while the two old parties
took cognizance of an issue that they
had long ignored, and the socialist con-
vention refused to be sidetracked from
directly to producing masses of the
country. This little newspaper has
never thought very much of the county
option question, believing it a question
wholly apart from politics. But if it
is to be made the subject of platform
discussion we are of the firm belief
that the socialists have come nearer to
reaching the core of the controversy
than any other political organization.
The '.'liquor plank of the socialist
party reads MS follows:
Regarding the liquor question now
agitating the public mind in Nebraska
we take the same position taken by
the socialist party in its national con
vention of 1905, which is as follows:
1--WE recognize the serious evils in
cident to the manufacture aud sale for
profit of alcoholic and adulterated
liquors. We hold that any excessive
use of liquor by members of the work
ing class is a serious obstacle to the
triumph of our class since il impairs
N"' N'Hot VI euc hSHttir III Tue poilIl-
cal and economic struggle and we urge
the members of the working class to
avoid any indulgence that might him
der the progress of the movement for
their emancipation.
'On the other hand we do not be-
lieve that the evils of alcoholism can
be cured by any extension of the pub
lie powers of the capitalistic state.
Alcoholism is a disease of which cap
italism is the chief cause and the cure
lies rather in doing away with under
feeding, overwork and overworry re-
sulting from wage system
Believing there are phases of the
question of county option that justify
the county optionists in their fight for
the right to vote on all questions for
which they are taxed; that, on the
other hand, the county option program
does invade the right of municipal
tiles to control their own affairs,
therefore we contend that the solution
of this question is possibly only through
the initiative and referendum. -
For twenty years the republicans
were in undisputed control of the state,
yet they never gave any attention to
the liquor question. The democratic
party, always denounced as the "whis-

Infexible Rules Against Drunken
ness Enforced by Brotherhood.

From Inc century
1t is safe to say that no other union,
club or organization of any sort applies
quite such heroic treatment to undesir-
able citizens as the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers. One thing that the
brotherhood most strenuously insists
upon is that its members shall not drink.
Thirty-hve members were expelled Tor
getting drunk I'm 1909, and their shame
was publicly proclaimed in the Journal.
The treatment does not stop here by any
means The brotherhood will not risk
public by permitting a drinking man to
run an engine. When a man has been
duly convicted of drinking and punished
according to the laws Of the order. the
facts are laid before the proper authori-
ties on the road that employs him, and
his discharge is demanded. In one notable
instance the engineer of a fast train got
drunk during his layover and disgraced
himself He was tried convicted and
expelled. the management was Informed.
and the offenders discharge requested
in regular form. But as the engineer
had been q good man, the railroad COM
pany demurred, saying that he had not
been drunk while on duty.
But" said the brotherhood, there is
no telling when a man who gets drunk
or duty may take q notion TO get drunk
on duty, and we do not intend to take
any chances on having a drunken man
tearing through the country at sixty
miles an hour. endangering the lives of
others 1t is unfair both to the employees
in your service and to your patrons"
The culprit was discharged. He can
never be employed on railroad again.
