SOMETHING THAT NEEDS FIXING.

Omaha women have grown tired OF
pussing thru a pack of pipe, cigaret
and cigar smokers in order to enter or
leave a street car. After the holidays
they will take the matter up with the
street car companies and the city coun-
Gil If necessary. And they will win
with one or the other.
But If Omaha women are at the end
of their patience what of Marshalltown
women and Cedar Rapids women and
Des Moines women, who drag their
bodies thru a narrow passage met
men and chicken with the fumes
of every brand of tobacco from
cigar sweepings and cabbage mixture to
Flor de vuelto Abajo? The Omaha
cars have commodious platforms. There
is always a passage way which does
not necessitate an almost or quite vul-
gar contact. What are the Marshall
town women going to do? Stand for
it?

THE AGITATOR MUST GO.
YD,,h,,N,,e Tfrac1

Calm and deliberate judgment is
necessary in reviewing the latest
phases of the Mcnamara case. 1t will
not do to say that their confession was
an indictment Of all organized labor
Neither will it do TO condone the
crimes Of the prisoners or point to
them as martyrs. BY their own ad-
mission they are cold FLOODED slayers
and the pity is they Will be made to
suffer In a manner fitting their crime.
The Mcnamara brothers were repre-
sentatives Of that geat mass Of or
eanized workmen who believe in God
and country. Until their confession,
however. they were upheld by thou
sands Of law abiding citizens who
could not believe it possible that they
committed crimes in the name OF or
ganized labor. Now that all doubt OF
their guilt has been removed the
treachery of the McNamaras will serve
as a warning against the destructive
element in organized labor.
It is expected that good VIII result
from the Mcnamara confessions. The
outcome Of the case means that hence
forth the law abiding union nan-and
the vast majority OF union men az such
will not remain silent when the voice
OF the agitator who believes in de-
structive methods is raised.
