THE PLUMBERS.
Breezy Bits of News About the Men
Who Lay the Pipes.

OF course the Employers Associa-
tions are opposed to the boycot-unless
they happen to be the ones using lit.
But the Master Plumbers Association
of Denver learned thing or two about
the boycott recently. When Denver
plumbers made a demand for an in
creased wage the Master Plumbers
not only the wage increase but any
recognition of the union. The asso
citation went so far as to draw up an
agreement to the effect that none of
its members would employ any plumber
who carried union card. This agree
ment was signed and the association
thought it had the world by the tail.
But it overlooked couple of bets, one
being the Colorado anti-boycot law, the
other the energy and go-aheaditiveness
ident Alpine of the International hap
pened to be i'm Denver at the time,
and a copy of the agreement fell into
his hands. He Immediately got out
an injunction against the association
members forbidding them from put
ting the agreement into effect. He also
made complaint against each man sign
ing it, charging him with violation of
the anti-boycot law. Then things be-
gan to happen. When they found
themselves facing a Jail sentence and
a stiff fine the naughty employers back
ed up, and the way they rushed to
the union headquarters to sign up with
the organization was good to see.
Thirty-nine employers who had agreed
never, never to employ another union
plumber, signed for the closed shop
in one day. Before three days had
passed every member of the association

THE POWER OF WEALTH.
Rev. Charles Stelzle Writes Interest
ingly of Big Things.

The wealth of the United States
amounts tos about 100000, 900.
This is nearly twice as much as the
wealth of Great Britain and Ireland,
two and half times as much as that
of France or Germany, more than three
times as great as the wealth of Russia
and about six times as much as that
of Austro- Hungary. The wealth per
capita in the United States is approx
mately $1,4OO. AS matter of fact,
however, this great wealth is very I'M
eavenly distributed.

that / per cent Of the families in the

eighth of the national wealth. 1t is
said that while not the absolute owners,
there is within the control of a score
of men an estimated sum amounting
to over S2O,OO0,OO 900. This is an
amount greater than the wealth of
Austro- Hungary, the combined wealth
of Italy and Belgium and onequarter
greater than the combined wealth of

his real influence in the United States
is very much in excess of the amount
of money that he absolutely owns.
The stocks of the railroad companies
of the United States are held by about
100000 persons, but mere handful
of men control the property owned by
these million stockholders. The great
railroad systems of the United States
have been reduced to few groups by
means of consolidation and reconsoli-
dation. Ten of these groups comprise
three -fourths of all the railroad lines
of the country, with mileage of 200,
900, and with combined capitaliza-
tion of approximately S9,00O,0 100000.
1t is not inconceivable that, through

roads of the United States will be

GEORGE E. TOBEY

George +. Tobey, republican cand1
date for the nomination for congress
subject to the will of the voters at
the primary on August 16, was born
an a farm in Cedar county, Ia, in
1870. Before he was year old his
parents removed to Nebraska, settling
on farm in Butler county. Until he
was fourteen Mr.. Tobey worked on
his fathers farm and attended the dis
trict school. At the age of fourteen
he entered the high school at Ulysses.
Two years later his father died and
he was compelled to become the support
of his mother and his younger brothers
and sisters. Six years later he re-en-
tered the Ulysses high school and grad
uated therefrom in due time. He then
entered the University of Nebaska,
graduating from the Law Department
in 1899. He paid his way through the
University by clerking in the Arm
strong Clothing Co. store and the store
of the then Fitzgerald Dry Goods Co.,
now Rudge & Guenzel. Mr.. Tobey has
always been active in republican poll
tics, but he has also been active in
civic and religious life. Let the story
be told by prominent men who believe
in him and are supporting him ener-
getically:
"In 1896 Mr.. Tobey, then student
in the State University, was elected
Secretary Of the University Republican
Club, and during the Bryan campaign
took leading part in public debates
with the University Free Silver Club.
In every campaign from that time to
the present he has made many speeches
for the republican ticket. In 1898 he
was sent to Philadelphia as the dele
gate of the College Republican Clubs
of Nebraska to the National League
of College Republican Clubs. For the
past ten years he has been an active
worker in the Young Men IS Republi-
