heretofore "wet" union men voted
dry" last Monday that they are in
favor or of making this such Purit-
anical town that fellow will be fined
for kissing his wife or setting his dog
on rat on Sunday. There is such a
thing as being too awfully good for
this earth and we know a few people
whose only fit home right now is
heaven. The sooner they go there
and let the rest of us have some voice
in the way we may conduct our af-
fairs, the better it will be for all cf
us.
The Evening News speaks of the
'evident slump of the union labor vote
from wet to dry" Thank you!

of the "closed saloon" policy. Now

OF course, old pal, you have a right
to do as you please on your own time.
That is, within limitations. 1t may
be none of the boss's business how
much booze you consume between
quitting time at night and beginning
time next morning, but it is some #
his business what condition you are
in when you begin work in the morn
ing. Broadly speaking you may have
right to tank UP on your own time,
but is it square to the boss to sober
up on his time? And what is there
in this so-called good time" business,
anyhow? Take it from me-and I've
been through 'em-there is worse
than nothing. Lots of fun starting
out with a pocket full of money earn
ed by hard work. in company with
fellows just like yourself, and partak-
ing of conversation juice until you
feel as If you have more money than
you can ever spend. Lots of fun
singing Soldiers Farwell' and max
ing barber shop minors" until the
welkin rings. Lots or fun hitting the
high places. Sure thing! but, gosh!
How about the next morning? And
how about the mornings in the days
to come when there are streaks Of
silver in your hair, and your fingers
have lost a bit of their cunning? You
lads who are yet on the sunny side
of thirty ought to be thinking a bit
about the days when you'll be on the
shady side of forty. Those good
times you are having today, lad, are
costing you blamed sight more thar
the money you are spending on them
Take from me. lad; l know, for I've
been through the mill.

On the square, now; if 1 didn't like
a town I'd waste no time knocking
it," but pack my lares and penates
me better. l have no patience with
the fellow who is forever knocking"
the town wherein his bread and butter
factory Is located. He isn't bit
better than the employee who is TAX
ing wages from a man and at the same
time telling what mean cuss he is
working for. There are lots of things
about Lincoln that do not suit me,
but they are few in number compared
with the things l do like. And !
purpose keeping so busy talking about
Lincoln's good points that l won't
have any time to converse about the
points that do not suit me. And if
did have time to knock" on the things
l don't like l wouldn't waste it that
way-In spend it trying to remedy
the faults. Lincoln lacks lot of
things that other cities of it's class
have, but most of them are things
that Lincoln is better off without
Most of the things that Lincoln lacks,
compared with other towns, are those
things which, by their absence, make
for better manhood and womanhood,
and therefore for BETTER living. I've
been about bit in my time, boys,
and I'm here to tell you that, taking
1t by and large, We workers are better
of in this little old dry" town than
almost any other city in the country.
Now quit your knocking" and go to
boosting" If you can't "boost" and
can't keep still, there are a lot Of
trains out of Lincoln.

Champagne Cooler.

Manila March 1.-THE military inquest
into the death OF Lieut. Clarence NJ.
Janney developed the fact that a silver
champagne cooler was the cause OF Anal
and fatal quarrel which led the lieutenant
to kill himself.
The cooler originally belonged to the

dinner at the home Of Ames last Satur-
day night. Janney recognized the cooler
whereupon ne upbraided his wife for hav-
ing given It to Ames. This trouble, how

Later Janney left the house and re-
turned with a revolver with which, &C
cording to t., coroner and military board
