The Carpenters will meet Monday

the South Omaha convention. A few
of the members are possessed of the
idea that when union is not prosper

make special effort to start some
thing. The State Federation's purpose
Is to push the work of organization, as
well as to push beneficial legislation,
and the organizations that need as

The local union of carpenters has five
times more members than one other
Lincoln union that has prepared to
send delegate, and an even ten times
more members than still another Lin

President Taft has appointed Judge
George A. Carpenter of the circuit
court of Cook county to assume the
place on the federal bench in Chicago
left vacant by the death of Judge Sol
omon Bethea. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Taft appointed Judge Carpenter
on his record which interests labor
men. One is his hostile action in the
Mears- -Slayton contempt case, in which
he sentenced three union carpenters to
Jail for contempt of court without a
hearing. The second is his refusal to
include without full hearing, several
manufacturers in the injunction grant
ed by Judge Richard s. Tuthill in IA

has been marked increase in the
cost of living in Kansas even in six
months. In a few instances there
have been decreases but they do not
make up for the increases and the
tendency of the whole bill of fare has
been upward. Salt pork is on the
down grade. Butter and eggs have
gone down slightly. The quotations on
potatoes need some explanation. The
January quotations were on old pota-
toes, while the July quotations are on
new potatoes. There are no old po-

LEADING MISTAKES IN LIFE

Our Share.

Some Of US may be glad to be told
that there are only ten life mistakes,
for there seem to be SO many more,
but recent writer has catalogued
them. Perhaps these are only the ten
leading ones from which the smaller
errors arise. Let's look over the list
and see how many Of them are ours:
First, to set up our own standard Of
right and wrong and Judge people ac-
cordingly; second, to measure the en-
joyment Of others by our own; third,
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; fourth, to look for judgment
and experience in youth; fifth, to en-
deavor to mold all dispositions alike;
sixth, to look for perfection In our
own actions; seventh, to worry our
selves and others with what cannot
be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield
in immaterial matters; ninth, to re-
fuse to alleviate, SO far as 1t lies In
our power, all which needs allevia-
ton; tenth, to refuse to make allow
ance for the infirmities of others.
