New Legal Holiday This Year.


Practically all banks and business
houses generally have overlooked the
fact that there will be a new legal
holiday in Ohio this year, on which
all financial institutions will be closed
and which will be in every respect, in
the eyes of the law, the same as the
Fourth of July, Christmas day or other
legal holidays made by legislative en-.
actment. House bill %, which was
passed on March 23 and approved by
the governor March 25, makes Octo-
ber 12, the day on which Columbus
first landed on the shores of America,
a legal holiday, under the title Of Co.
lumbus Discovery day. The matter
had passed out of the minds of all Co.
lumbus bankers, when an inquiry to
the Ohio Bankers association resulted
in the announcement that this year we
will get to take a rest on Wednesday,
October II.

garet Haley of Chicago, to come 20
Lincoln and tell how the Chicago
teachers did so organize, with the
result that they got an immediate
raise of salary and immeasurably
better conditions. We invited every
teacher in Lincoln to hear her, and
just two responded. After that ex'
perience we are very frank to con.
fess that we don't care a snap Of a
finger whether the Lincoln teachers
ever get better salaries. If the
school teachers Of the United States
were as we'll organized as any one
of dozen crafts we could name, in
side of the next five years the wages
of the teachers would be increased
from 25 to so per cent.
We cheerfully admit all that Daw
son County Pioneer says of the
schoolm'am, but we reiterate that
for the life of us we can not muster
any appreciable amount of sympathy
for her.

REMEMBER THIS NAME.

There will be another election in
Lincoln some of these days. Maybe
i: will be the same old kind of
a city election we have had in the
past. Maybe it will be an election
under the commission plan of govern
ment. But whatever the mind it will
be just as well for union men to cut
out the following name and paste ii
in their hats for future reference.
ALDERMAND CANDY.
There may be others whose names
should be added to that of Alderman
Candy, and they will be added as oc-
casion warrants. Alderman Candy rs
mighty good man for union labo.
voters to oppose If ever ne comes UP
for election to public office again.
When the union painters of the city
protested to the city council against
using the firemen to paint houses and
barns belonging to the city. Alderman
Candy wanted to "file' the protest.
In other words he didn't want to
give a large body Of laborers, most
of them taxpayers, fair hearing. He
wanted to treat the whole thing with
Indifference. When Alderman Schroe-
der insisted on the laboring men hav-
ing fair hearing, Alderman Candy
waxed sarcastic. He is chairman OF
the fire committee, to whom the pro-
test was finally referred. and when
1t was referred he jumped up and i'm
pudently declared that he was ready
to report then and there.
Alderman Candy is not the first
man to swell up after being elected
to a petty little office, nor is he the
first victim of an enlarged caput to
imagine that the greasy mechanics
are not worthy Of attention.
Alderman Candy is going to hear
from that little action if ever he
comes up for office again, and all the
taffy Candy can give the to1ers win
not suffice to wipe out remembrance
Of his insult last Monday evening.
