CONTRASTING BRYAN AND
ROOSEVELT.

Mr. Roosevelt's troubles in Egypt
bring to mind Mr.. Bryan's articles on
India. The former gained the displea-
sure of the people of Egypt by extoll-
ing the British rule, the latter gained
the displeasure of the British officials
by defending the right of the people of
India. From these two incidents the
character of these men may be judged.

thus increase the value of all the sur
rounding real estate. Now let us make

the life of me l can not understand the
mental processes of the wage Garner
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-06-17

Every wage Garner should vote
tic pacls bond issue and for
the school bond issue. Why? The
reasons are too numerous to men,
tion, but here are a few:
Because the parks are the play
grounds of the common people
the rich can go to the mountains
or the seashore.
Because the wage earners
whose toll has made the city pros
porous and the few wealthy are
entitled to parks and Fairgrounds
for themselves, their wives and
their little ones.
Because the issuing of bonds
will compel those who have
grown rich from our toll to give
us back this much-places in
which we may spend an occasion
al hour away from the, grind.
Because the high school is the
ultimate college" of a very
large percentage Of the children
of wage earners. The rich can
send their children on through
college or the university. Your
children and mine too, often have
to quit school even before COM
pleting the high school course,
and enter into the terrible race
for existence. The high school,
therefore, ought to be the best
obtainable. Let us compel those
who can afford to send their chill
dren on through the university
help us who can not do so, give
our children the best possible
high school advantages.
Because the money spent for
park improvements and new
school buildings will be largely
spent for labor, thus furnishing
employment.
Because a bigger and better
Lincoln means bigger and better
opportunities for us all.
Because we owe parks and
schools to our children, and be-
cause it is our duty to leave con-
ditions better than we found
them.
You owe a duty to your city,
to yourselves, to your families.
Vote for Lincoln, for your chill
dren and for yourselves.

The slogan Of the Lincoln CONNER
cial club is "Let's all work together

That s bully good slogan. Nothing
could be better. Poets might write and
singers might sing, but what could be

lying cry of "Let's all work together

Sure! That It's all it is sound 'Let's

lot of Lincoln business men-all mem
bers of the club having such a beauti-

extension excursion, and they take
along with them band.
A Lincoln band? Not much. A band
from town hundred miles away.
"Let' s all work together for Lincoln,'' -
you fellows who live here, support your
families here, spend your money here
and then watch the business men
who utter the beautiful cry slipping
the money over to an out-of-town band
instead Of employing Lincoln musi-
clans.
"This is a reciprocal trade excur-
sion," explained the chairman Of the
committee, "and we deemed it wise
to reciprocate with the men we are
trying to induce to trade in Lincoln by
employing them in part.
A little bit later it developed that the
out-of-town band was employed be-
cause it agreed to go along for boys
wages.
Let's all work together for Lin
coln!' You workingmen need only
boost and see to it that you don t spend
your money elsewhere. That the work
you are expected to do for Lincoln. But
when it comes to employing you-well,
that s another story, as Mr.. Kipling
would say.
What do you think of it, Mr.. Lincoln
Workingman? The men who are ask
ing you to work your heads off for Lin

go outside of town when they want
something that can be had cheaper
abroad than at home.

During the last fifteen years Kansas

and boulevards-andK Kansas City is

done? Really am almost ashamed to

was in Beatrice the other day and
got glimpse of the new high school
building in that city. 1t is beauty.
Lincoln man who looks at it will hide
his head in shame to think that city
the size of Beatrice has high school
building that makes the Lincoln high
school building look like a relic Of the
palezoic age. Beatrice paid $75, 900 for
it, and if Beatrice with 10000 people
can spend an average of $3.50 per cap
ita for high school building, certainly
Lincoln can spend an average af So
per capita. That is the proposition on
the high school matter. But we must
have a new school building in place Of
the apology known as the Hayward
school, and we must have some i'm
provements ON the Saratoga school.
We are asked to vote school bonds in
the amount of $315,O00 This is less
per capita than Beatrice voted for d
high school alone. And shall we do less
for our children than Beatrice is doing
Far be it from so +! Come on now, let s
build the handsomest high school build

Let s get this park bond proposition
on straight to start with. First, the
proposition is to borrow money on ne
gotiable bonds to be issued by the city
to the extent, if found necessary, OF
100000, or such smaller sum as may
be found sufficient, for the purchase
and Improvement of certain specified
pieces of property to be used for park
purposes Not word about the price
that must be paid for any piece OF pro-
perty. Nothing mandatory about buy
ing any certain piece or pieces OF pro-
perty. All that is left to the park CON-
mission and the city council, subject
to certain limitations as to the property
that may be bought.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-06-17

The bonded indebtedness of Lincoln
today is less than million and half.
The city owns property worth $780,
O0O-such as the waterworks, muni-
cipal lighting plant, city hall and
parks. Very few cities of the size in
America can make as good showing.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-06-17

Some opponents of the bond issue de-
clare it is a scheme to unload Lincoln
Park on the city for an exhorbitant
price. Don't you believe it. The men
who own Lincoln Park today don't
give tinker's dam whether the city
buys it or not. The city, however, will
get Lincoln Park-if it finally decides
that it wants it-for just what it is
worth, and not what the present own
ers may think it is worth. So don't
let some of the enemies of civic pro-
gress-the antedluvians- you
by their stereotyped yell of "graft"
For my part l believe the city will be
the gamer in thousand ways by Sc
curing Lincoln Park right now at the
full price asked 100000. 1t would cost
that much, and half-century of time,
to take piece af raw land and make
a park equal to what Lincoln Park is
this very minute.

The region was long ago extensively
'rospected for gold and silver. but NO

Since that time several other claims
lave been patented and some work has
been done. though no ore has yet been
produced.
The rocks in this region are widely
nineralized. The ores were probably
deposited by hot waters ASCENDING

The ore contains q little gold, 40 or
