with the Intelligence of this city, and
that the system of branch libraries Of
fered by Mr.. Carnegie nearly nine years
ago would be promptly accepted, built,
occupied, maintained and largely used
by eager readers.
I'm this way the public could be as
sured of full library facilities, and the
long continued discouragements to the
library management resulting from
present limitations would be replaced
by pleasure from the greater service
that could be rendered and the more
complete satisfaction Of the public"

The Cause of U,1io,1is,11


The object of the articles ] have been
ance thru the courtesy of the Times
Republican, have not been to discredit
unionism but on the contrary for the
protection of the principles for which
union labor stands. There is nothing
that has done so much for the uplift OF
the labOring man, and his profession,
as his unionism, and I want to see Ia
Dor continue to advance, not only
Financially but socially and morally as
well.
Unionism is responsible for the ad-
vance in prices from time to time for
which we have been able to sell our
labor, as well as for Improvement in
the conditions under which our labor
is performed Men who have never
affiliated with labor unions can at
tribute their advance in wages to the
cause of unioTism, even tho they have
not given it their financial and moral
support, for the value placed on their
"a Dor has been governed by the value
uniOnism has placed upon it's labor.
1t is unionism that has taken the
lead and given labor a standing in the
BUSINESS world
1t is unionism that has elevated labor
above the ordinary machine, and placed
the laboring man on an equality with
men in every other walk in life.
When We realize that we are human
beings and not machines to go and run
for ten or twelve hours each day, then
shut the machine Of our body down for
few hours to recuperate the physical
man and then back again for another
ten or twelve hours work until physi-
cally exhausted again, and when we
realize that We should have q reason
able time for refre-shment and rest.
and a reasonable time for work, il our
time away from our work is properly
made use of, then we will accomplish
still more for unionism. If not then We
are not benef1ting our cause.
1t Is up to the men who champion
the cause of unionism to set the exam
pie in life for the non-union man.
When labor is discussed by society. the
public and law making bodies 1t is dis
cussed from the standpoint of union
ism. Tnorganized labor has no repre-
Unionisn Is collective and

KANSAS TOWN GETS
RICH WITHOUT BARS
WITHOUT SALOONS UNDER
COMMISSION PLAN.
ENDS FIRST YEAR. WITH
SURPLUS OF soc, 900
Absence Of $4,000 a Year Paid by
Thirty Four Saloons Does Not Affect
City's Finances-SaIoons Shut Up
About Time City Government Was
Changed.

Because the commission plan of city
government has been adopted and i!
being tried here and the fight over the
continuance or nOn-continuance of the
saloons is just now of general interest
readers will be especially interested il
the experience of Pittsburg. Kan. This
latter city, of a population of 10000
is just now ending it's first year under
the commission plan of government
after having closed the saloons.
Without the saloons and with the
commission plan of government the
year has been a success in Pittsburg' :
municipal life. Altho the thirty four
saloons of Pittsburg paid into the city
more than $4,000 a year, without this
revenue that city has piled up a sur
plus during the first year under the
commission plan 1t has experienced
no financial difficulties and arrests
have been fewer.
The Experience of Pittsbure.
4 brief resume of conditions
in saloonless Pttsburg after a
commission government is told in the
following reprinted from an Omaha
paper:
"Pittsburg is approaching the end of
it's year under the commission form of
government. which has been a year
of unprecedented prosperity and
achievement.
Without a cent of revenue from
the thrty-four saloons and dives that
formerly contributed $4,000 a year in
fines, the city treasurer. at the close

adopted the new rule. il was running
along in a rut. Then the agitation
for a change was started by some OF
the more progressive of the towns
people Strong opposition was en-
countered, but the aggressiveness OF
the commission advocates won and
the aldermanic system was over
thrown.
..rhere is not business man in
Pittsburg today who will not declare
that the commission rule is the loedi

Under the new form of government
Pittsburg has started construction

evening tells of Mr. Aliens death as
follows:
A j. Allen, an old resident Of the
county. formerly in the news paper

the Buffalo Blade, was picked up on
the street last night seriously i'll and
died early this morning at St Luke's
hospital. The death is ascribed 10 d
stroke of apoplexy.
He was discovered late in the eve
ming and the police were notified. He
was taken to the station and DR.. F4cke
was summoned. The doctor ordere d
him taken to St Luke's hospital. He
appeared to be better for awhile but
later grew worse and he died this
morning about 4 o'clock.
For a time his identity was not
known, as all he could say before he
lapsed into unconsciousness was that
he was from Buffalo. This morning,
however, old friends recognized him
and it it was learned that he had a
daughter. Mrs. Harriet Heffel, 1431t

railroad man. Herman Heffel. She

Allen passed away in the Year 1891.

loon petitions on our streets. They were
acting as individuals, yet the public
censures unionism for their acts. There
are many men in the ranks Of union
ism who don't realize the true condt-
tons Of the saloon business and its
relation to labor and with good intent
and purpose they do things as indi-
viduals that bring reproach upon
unionsm.
In Chicago, in 1894. at the time of
the A. r. U. strike there were 100 cars
burned to the ground Some men in
nearby saloon, half drunk, got to
discussing the merits of the strike, not
one of them ever belonged to a union.
but thru sympa thy, as they thought,
in their drunken stupor, one of them
went over and set fire to these 100
cars. and precipitated a riot. Union
labor was blamed for the deed. The
Pullman Company and railroads made
an appeal to the governor Of Hin oils
Troops were sent there to protect life
and property. Martial law was de-
clared and the strikers; union men,"
lost the sympathy Of the public thru
the acts of an individual non-union
man. The consequence was labor
was defeated
The few men who caused the loss OF
life and property. and the defeat OF
unionism We're disinterested parties and
should have taken no part in the
trouble. We. as union men, should set
the example, and win and hold the
respect and esteem of society While
realize this fact, that there are just
as many non-union men, in fact more
whose names will appear on the sa-
loon petition Of consent, than there will
be union mems names, yet the union
will be blamed for the success Of the
petition when the public sees men
from our order circulating a saloon
petition.
We, as union men, should realize this
fact, that the saloon is an Institution
which absolutely is Of no benefit to us,
while on the other hand the men who
are fighting the saloons are the men
we look to for employment. We have
our own welfare TO look after, and
We are not helping our own cause
when we do things that we know will
incur the emnity Of those we look to
for employment. Therefore. we should
remain neutral In this matter, and not
incur the i'll will of those with whom
we do business The merchants are
shrewd enough to take care OF their
interests by remaining neutral. so as
not to offend any one, SO why shou!dh
we take care Of No. /!
