1 heard something the other day that
1 fondly hope is true-that a liberal
minded, generous citizen of Lincoln is
going to equip a handsome billiard
room in the new Y. M. G. A. building.
A few weeks ago / had business in a
neighboring city that boasts Y. M.
C. A. building, and I had a talk with
man who takes an interest in the
associations work, and makes that in
terest known by putting up literally
for it's support. When I suggested the
idea of billiard room in the build
ing he nearly. had fit. The very
idea was little short of sacrilege, so
he said. l spent the evening at the
home Of this friend, and after dinner
was over and the dining table cleared
off, he got out a parlor croquet set
Fixing some little metal dinguseS on
the corners of the table, he stretched
a wide tape around it, then set up the
dinkey little wick and invited me
to join him in knocking the little
wooden balls around. l did, and l
beat him at the game, too. | asked
him to tell me the difference between
knocking some little wooden balls
around on a bare table and knocking
some ivory balls around on green
cloth covered table. The only differ
ence he could offer was that one was
merely the pleasant little pastime of
'parlor croquet" and the other was
that DEVILS game, billiards Still
he's pretty good sort of man. But
l cpine that if he had lived in Massa-
chusetts couple of centuries ago he
would have furnished the flint and
steel with Christian g1ee on the occa-
sion of every witch burning. You re-
member that the Puritan fathers pro-
hibited bear batting on Sunday-not
because it was cruelty to the bears,
but because it gave pleasure to the
men. If it is true that Lincoln man
is going to equip a handsome billiard
room in the new Y. M. C. A. building,
1 am going to tip my hat to him every
time 1 meet him on the street, and
also to any Y. M. C. A. director who
is up-to-date enough to agree that that
is a sensible move to make.

BILLY MAJORS SPELLING.

L Picked up a labor paper printed
In southern city recently, and read
with some astonishment an editorial
favoring unbridled 1icense-gambling,
wine rooms, and all that sort of thing.
1t made me wonder how any working
man could advocate such a policy, and
| glanced on through the paper to as
certain if possible the reason for it.
l found it. OF the fifteen columns
OF advertising carried by the afore-
said labor paper, a little over fourteen
were devoted to advertising breweries,
distilleries~ and sbars.t Inatheslanguage
of labor's great and good friend
Charles w. Post, There's a reason. -
If within my power I'd make it i'm
possible to manufacture another drop
of intoxicants as long as the world
stands. But the total abolition of in
toxicants, like the absolute purifica-
ton of politics, is, in the language of
the late John J. ingalls,, id ir
ridescent dream This fact often
makes me wonder if it wouldn't be
best to remove all license and revenue
from the drink, and allow it to be sold
like any other commodity; say in
grocery stores or anywhere else.
can not imagine a bunch of good fel-
lows" hanging all afternoon or all
night over a Goldfish barrel or a box
of mackerel in the back end of a
grocery "settin' 'em up'' and imagin-
ing they were sports having good
time. I've often thought that we re-
formers too seldom take into account
the factor of human nature in our eff
forts to make the world as good as we
think we are.
The wageworker., 1910-03-26

In this connection l want to relate
Il little experience The Wageworker
had couple of years ago. George
Thompson, a Chicago union man, came
to Lincoln and advocated high license
in Il speech before the Central Labor
Union. 1t was an address by union
man to union men, and The Wage
worker. being a union labor paper,
printed it. The license advocates
bought several thousand copies Of the
paper and distributed them. In the
same issue appeared a four-column
letter by Rev. Mr.. Batten advocating
nolicense. Several ministers and
more good women roundly denounced
The Wageworker as saloon sheet"
and it's editor as whisky advocate"
because it published the address of
th.t union man. They never said a
'Tord about the article written by Rev.
Mr. Batten.
The wageworker., 1910-03-26

1t is to be regretted that the tenn
perance movement is hampered by
those who are intemperate-intem
ate in their speech and often in their
action. The other day picked up the
morning Journal and read a letter,
printed in black-faced type and
signed by the name of reverend gen.
tleman we'll known in Lincoln. In
that letter the reverend gentleman
took occasion to cast some undeserved
slurs on Omaha, referring to it as a
"wide-open town" and expressing a
fear that Lincoln would become as
vile as the big metropolis. That is
unfair and uncalled-for. Omaha is
not a wide open town. 1t lacks a
whole lot of being the hell hole" that
a lot of our Incorporate temperance
reformers would have us believe. The
noise made by a few loud-mouthed ad-
vocates of unbridled license should
not be mistaken for the voice of Oma
ha. The reverend gentleman in ques
ton, and lot of others of his kind
right here in Lincoln, would do well
to keep right on sweeping before their
own doorsteps and not bother them
solves so much about the frost on
the tiles of their Omaha neighbors
The Omaha of today is a lot bigger, a
lot cleaner and lot better than the
Omaha of a few years ago-and it is
getting bigger, cleaner and better
every day.
The wageworker., 1910-03-26

Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned. but
it strikes me that there are alto
gether too many adolescent school
girls allowed to promenade the streets
OF Lincoln of evenings, hanging on to
the arms of swagger boys who look
scarcely dry behind the ears. And too
many of these girls. who ought to be
at home, wearing short dresses and
their hair in braids, have their faces
kalsomined and their uniformed bodies
padded up like old stagers. AS father
and as d citizen, | don't like it. The
fathers and mothers who allow that
sort of thing are storing up a lot of
trouble for themselves, and perhaps
a lot OF disgrace for their girls. The
mother who will allow her fifteen
year-oid girl to prance about the
streets O. nights hanging on to the
arm of pimply-faced, cigarette-smok-
ing kid who ought to be wearing knee
pants, should hasten to surgeon and
have her head bored for the simples.
