ICE JAM AT MONUMENT
Danger at Monument OF town

tho Enterprise.

The town was nearly deserted
for about an hour Monday even
ing just after 4 o'clock, when
a large ice jam came tearing
down the river. The inhabitants
old and young hocked to the
banks of the river and other
places Of vantage where they
could witness this spectacular
scene.
The river was filled to over
flowing with q seething grinding
mass Of ice moving like a hugh
monster with living power.
When it struck the gorge half a
mile below town its course was
blocked by the solid ice. which
has not yet been broken. And
now a solid ice-jam three fourths
Of a mile long. more than fills
the river at this place. Another
like jam is reported to be lodged
a mile above town, and the ice
In the North Fork above the up

great many conjectures are Of
fered as to the probable fate OF
Monument and ranches along
the river when all this ice comes
together here and finds its
course blocked. 1t may dam the

everything before it. But as

One of the most delightful par
ties ever given at Condor was
that enjoyed in the spacious par
lors at the pleasant home of our
worthy druggist, l.. W. Darling,
on Monday evening, in honor of
the 18th birthday of his eldest
daughter, Miss Goldie Darling.
A large number of invited guests,
including nearly a score of Col
dies schoolmates, can safely
say that they never spent four
or five hours at a party more
pleasantly than they did on this
occasion. Besides enjoying one
Of the finest suppers imaginable,
gotten up by Mrs. E. L. Taylor
and Mrs. c. l.. Baker, there were
games, plays, music, singing
and even a little terpsichorean
exercise for the lovers of that
lind of amusement. Her many
friends wish Miss Goldie many
more such happy birthdays.

THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING
inquiry into
the causes of high
prices of living and
of foodstuffs.

ing IN nlRn. III is not because we
order our meat by telephone that
the price of furniture has dou-
bled, trebled or in some cases
even quadrupled in cost. Even
If we carried our chops, outlets
and steaks home in the tradition
al basket, we should still have to
pay 2 cents per pound more for
sugar than our own and only su-
gar trust sells It to the European
for. Even had we no telephone
in the house, we should still be
forced to pay So. $l2 or $50 more
for an American-made sewing
machine than the British house
wife buys it for. Retrench as
we may, foreswear all the con-
vcniences we dare, we are still
forced when we buy, to pay $27
for American-made tin plate that
the Welshman in Wales buys for
s22, with the freight across the
Atlantic prepaid by the Ameri-
can manufacturer. If we deter
mine to eschew every luxury and
strictly lead the simple life, our
farmers must pay SIG. 40 for the
same American-made plow that
the German farmer on the Rhine
buys for $14.10. Every nail, ev-
cry tool, every needle, every
spool of thread, every saw, ev-
cry ak, every wagon. every shoe, |
every harness, every copper
wire, every copper tool or ap-
pliance in which copper or lead is
used, in fact almost every article |
of commerce or industry, even
though it be made in American
factories, can be bought at a less
price by the foreigner than in |
this country. On every one there
is a monopoly, or an agreement
among manufacturers, by which |
the price is fixed. 1t is so fixed
that the wholesaler, in many an i
instance, must sell the article at |
an exact figure named by the |
manufacturer to the retailer, |
and the retailer in turn must sell
at a certain fixed and unalter-
able price, also fixed by the man.
ufacturer to the consumer. Ac-
cording to Bradstreet, the aver
age price of 81 articles of life
necessity has increased in less
than a dozen years from $5. DO to
1920. Did the householders
who telephone for their meat in
stead Of carrying it home in a
basket cause these advances?
Granted, that in this era of
telephones and delivery wagons
we have more conveniences and
live amid more comforts. Why |
should that make the suit of
clothes that used to cost $40 cost
$40 now, or the woman's gown
once priced at $S5 cost SIS or
300? Should not the labor say
ing machinery, the new process
es of manufacture, and the vast
profits derived from the by-pro-
ducts that were once considered
waste, have reduced rather than
raised prices? In the beef, all
that we once used was the meat
and hides. Now the horns, the
hoofs, the hair and every other
part is turned to use and profit. |
But, still, while the farmer, pro-
ducing in enclosures and in feed |
stalls instead of on the free wild |
range, is getting little if any
more for his cattle than he got
20 years ago, the steak that cost
Is to 25 cents then, costs perhaps
40 to go cents now. Is it the
telephone and the delivery wa
gon that are causing all this en-
hanced price and all the vast in
crement of by-products.

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-07-01

This week The Wageworker pre-
sents its annual 'sFriendly Business
Men 81 edition, and it is cordially rec
commended to the careful review Of the
workers of the city. 1t is pleasing to
the editor to know that there are
many business men in the city who
are anxious enough for the patronage
of union men to ask for it through
newspaper that tries it's best to stand
for the best interests of the organized
workers. Such men-the men who
show by their actions that they are
friendly to organized labor-are the
men who should receive the patronage
of organized workers The sooner or
ganized labor begins recognizing and
standing by it's friends, rather than
hoycotting and knocking" it's enc
mics, the better it will be for the labor
monument.

THE UNION SHOP.

The following editorial from the
Boston Globe portrays in graphic
manner the difference between
the contract Of the union shop
and the non-union or so-called
open shop:
Persons who are opposed to
the union shop because it inter-
feres with individual liberty
either forget that there is
such thing as individual liberty,
or they never given sufficient
thought to the subjsct to reason
out the fact. National, State aud
municipal law is an interference
with what is called individual
liberty. Individual liberty is an
archy under another name. The
union shop says to the man whose
standard Of life is low and whose
environment is degrading and who
has no home or family ties, that
the citizen having high ideas and
responsible family ties, shall not
be dragged down to the level Of
the irresponsible and shiftless.
The non-union shop, which is
termed the open shop, is desired
by some employers because the
non-unionist can be used to tear
down the living and normal stand
ard of the better class Of workers.
In the social life the handsome
streets, dwelling and restricted
districts of the so-called better
classes represent the union, whi.e
the slums represent the miscalled
free workman or non-unionist.
The union shop protects the home
and keeps the children at school.
The non-union shop degrades the
home and furnishes treadmill
for the children who should be at
school. The union shop forbids
one to burn his home in the exer-
else of his individual liberty be-
cause he endangers the property
of his neighbor. The union shop
forbids one to maintain a nuis-
ance of any kind which endang-
ers the health of the community.
What any community may do to
protect itself against danger Of
any kind and to advance its mat
erial interest the trade unions
may justly do, and may with the
same legal and moral right frown
upon, resent and prevent any in-
vasion of it's rights as can any
: community, State or nation. For
reasons herein given and for many
others, the union or contract shop
is just, hence elevating.

'The Lincoln Commercial Club

it springs from the farmer who patron

was lost in the senate. President Will
lam Howard Taft, whose love for us
is so well known, used the power of
his high office to defeat the amend
ment. The only organizations that
have been prosecuted under the Sher-

organizations The trusts and corpor-

Richard l.. Metcaife, who ought to
be the next United States senator from

political writer as there is in the coun-
try. "Met" is awfully 'sot.' in his
views, but they are the views of a
man who can not be purchased or IN
Inundated, and he stands for the best
interests Of the people all the time. He
is county optionist and a democrat,
but he is opposed to endorsing county
option by a platform declaration. He
offers as solution Of the vexed ques-
tion this proposition: The democratic
platform to favor relegating the ques-
ton to the legislative districts, pledg-
ing the democratic candidate for gov
ernor to sign county option bill if it
shall be enacted in response to the
will of the majority as expressed at
the polls. That is democratic, and
therefore fair.
