BE NOT MISlNFORMED.

An effort is being made to convey
the impression that. Hon. Clarence
Darrow of Chicago, who is soon to ap-
pear in Lincoln as the champion of
high license, will appear under the
auspices of the union men of this
city. Mr.. Darrow. who is one of the
leading lawyers of the country, an or
ator of splendid ability and man
known to be in sympathy with union
ism, will not appear in Lincoln under
the auspices of any trades or labor
union. Mr.. Darrow could no more
speak for union men as a whole upon
that question than he could speak for
them as a whole upon the question of
row can voice his own sentiments,
and doubtless the sentiments Of a
great many union men upon the IL
cense question.
On April 10 John B. Lennon gener-
al secretary of the Customs Tailors'
International Union and treasurer OF
the American Federation Of Labor,
will speak in Lincoln in advocacy of a
dry" city. But Mr.. Lennon will not
speak under the auspices of any
trades or labor union, nor could he,
any more than Mr.. Darrow, speak for
union men as a whole upon this ques-
ton. That he, like Mr.. Darrow, will
voice the sentiments Of a great many
union men is beyond question. Nor
does The Wageworker pretend to
speak for the trades and labor unions
of this city on this absorbing ques-
ton, nor upon any other question of a
like nature. But it can voice it's own
sentiments, just as Mr.. Darrow and
Mr.. Lennon may whenever and where
ever they see fit.

The Bulletin of Organized Labor"
prepared by the Nebraska Bureau of
Labor and Industrial Statistics, is
now in the hands OF the printer-a
union printer, too-and will be ready
for distribution about April Is. 1t
will contain a list of all the OrganiZa-
tions in the state, together with the
names of their secretaries; statistics
as to membership wage scales, bene-
fits, etc. 1t is the first bulletin of the
kind ever prepared by the department,
and it will be of interest to the wage
earners of the state.

HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.

President Sharp of the Lincoln
Traction company offers 500 reward
IL the editor of The Wageworker will
bring to President Sharp's Office the
conductor who informed said editor
that the employees were measured for
their new uniforms in the Fraternity
building. President Sharp will enrich
the editor to the extent of one hun
dred simoleons.
The editor doesn't think any more
OF one hundred such dollars than he
does OF his right optic. President
Sharp will not be called upon to dig
up the amount. But the fact remains
that the editor was told by two differ
ent employees of the Lincoln Traction

to call at the Fraternity building to
be measured for uniforms. and accept
ing the information as correct The
Wagewdrker SO stated
II now trasnpires that the employees
were mistaken, and The Wageworker
hastens to make correction-and it's
haste is only equalled by it's pleasure
in its ability to correct, as far as may
be possible, the erroneous statement.
The employees were not notified to
appear at the Fraternity building for
measurement. They were required to
appear at the general Offices of the
company-the car starters office, we
believe. They were measured by a
gentlemen representing a Chicago
firm, and the uniforms were purchased
ostensibly through Ludwig
These, we believe after investiga-
ton, are the facts. President Sharp
seemed to believe that The Wagework-
er sought to intimate that he was get
ting 'rake-off" on the uniforms.
Nothing could have been further from
any intention of this humble little la
Dor paper. If anybody other than
President Sharp received a similar i'm
preston, We hasten to remove it.
The Wageworker certainly meant
nothing OF the kind. The posting OF
The Wageworker's little article. ac-
companied by the offer of reward,

was simply n bit of facetious grand
standing on the part of President
Sharp, perhaps pardonable under the
circumstances. President Sharp knew
very well that the reward would never
be claimed. The Wageworker begs to
suggest that If fifty dollar bills, or
hundred dollar bills, are so awfully
plentiful-as might be inferred-that
there are some 200 motormen and
conductors working long hours for
miserably poor pay who would gladly
accept in chunks of two or three cents
every hour in addition to the stipend
they now receive.

rors, but it wants it distinctly under

go the limit in it's efforts to rectify it,

employees of the Lincoln Traction Co.
were required to appear at the Fra
ternity building for measurement.
They were required to appear at the
general offices of the company. And

Wageworker begs the pardon of Pres

BROTHERHOOD.
Rev. Charles SteIzIe Talks on a Topic
of Human Interest.


"Brotherhood' is a word that men
conjure with. 1t opens the heart and
makes the mind alert. Originally, the
church was a brotherhood. Including
all classes and conditions, it became
factor in the lives of men that
caused them to suffer and TO sacrifice
as nothing else has ever done. 1t
opened the way to revolution. For
Christianity literally turned the world
upside down. 1t brought in a new
standard of ethics. 1t freed the slave.
However it may have failed because
of human limitations, no historian will
more to usher in freedom than all
other agencies combined. The chari-
ties of the early church signified that
religion of brotherhood and mutual
helpfulness had arisen among men.
Modern missions indicate that the
most high-blooded peoples on earth
recognize their kinship to the most
savage and debased.
but DrOtHefHOOu mas IN many III
stances become simply an appeal to
selfishness. Frequently, it means only
the development Of the few to the de-
moralization of the many. There, can
be no real brotherhood without love
as wide as the world There can be
no real brotherhood without the Faith

shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago. in consequence of a commercial panic, there was severe run on bank in South Wales, and the small farmers jostled each other In crowds to draw out their money. Things were rapidly going from bad to worse. when the bank manager, in fit of desperation, suddenly be- thought him of an expedient. By his directions a clerk having heated some sovereigns in a frying-pan, paid them over the counter to an anxious appli cant. Why, they're quite hot" said the latter as he took them up. "Of course" was the reply; what else could you expect? They are only just out of the mold We are coining them by hundreds as fast as we can" "Coining them thought the simple agriculturists then there Is no fear of the money running short" With this their confidence revived. the pan ic abated. and the bank was enabled to weather the storm.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have been announced by the National As sociation for the Study and Proven lion of Tuberculosis and the Ameri- can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber- culosis" will be the slogan of the 1910 campaign. Two features of the sale ths year are unique and will bring considerable capital to the tuberculo sis fighters. The American National Red Cross Is to issue the stamps as in former years, but this organization will work in close cooperation with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. which body will share in the proceeds of the sales. The charge to local associa- tons for the use of the national stamps has been reduced also from 20 ger cent. to 1212 per cent, which will mean at least $50000 more for tuber. culosis work in all parts of the United States. The stamps are to be desig- mated as Red Cross Seals this year and are to be placed on the back of letters instead of on the front.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good Whisky and Religious Con
 versation.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was the principal guest at a dinner of the London Authors club recently. which was followed by discussion on "Humor" MT. Seaman began with a story deprecating the spelling of good dinners by any discussion at all.
 There were three characters in the story-a bluebottle and two Scots. men. The story at once struck note of probability by showing the Scots men drinking whisky. The bluebottle buzzed on the pane; otherwise si- lenee reigned.
 This was broken by one of the Scotsmen trying to locate the blue bottle with geological exactitude. Said the Scotsman;
 Sandy, I'm thinking if yon fly is a tirGie or beastie."
 The other replied: Man, don't spoil goo1 whisky with religious converse. tion.'

At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the un- derneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab ( quarter of an inch thick It was aW- ful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imaginei The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child We tried several doctors remedies but all failed.
 Then we decided to try Cuticura By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off Un- der this. where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment new skin soon appeared We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily After three days you could see the baby gaining little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She Is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well.
