Every one Of the quintet went down to
defeat in tho primaries, failing to land
among the fourteen winners. Besides
Chambers. there were Senator's Howell

and Howard.
Mr.. Chambers Is now convinced that
the people OF Omaha DO not care SO much
about S. r. 6 as he thought they did
when Il was before the legislature. He
got something over 100 votes. where about
1850 were needed to nominate. Chambers
was not slow in expressing the opinion
that he and the others had made fall

LIFE OF THE LABOR EDITOR
NO BED OF ROSES

In commenting on some social hap
penings, the Sioux City Union Adyo-
cate sums up thuswise in its last
issue: at is a great game-this la
Dor paper one; you fight your fool
head off for the cause make enc
mics of friends, and get a reputation
as a fire-eater and a semi-idiot-and
then the fellows you have been fight
ing for get spasm of economy when
they are asked to spend an infinitesi-
NAL sum for even their joint subscrip-
ton to the sheet Oh, yes, this labor
paper business is a great game-and
there isn't a soul in the movement
that couldn't do it better. But the
labor paper publisher, and editor
soon acquires a hide like a rhinocer-
os and feels as though he didn't care
a hang for the opinion of enemies,
nor for that of the people who are
presumed TO be his friends. AS the
Dutchman said to his dog, He's got
to go to hell yet already, anyhow. d"

shall have to recognize that here is
people suffering from slavery from

zion. It has seIf-government though
it is not yet fit for it, only small
section Of it's people have risen TO
the normal civilization of the west
err world The rest are primitive,
uueducated, burdened with a citizen
ship which is more than they are ca
pabIe of. The state needs schools. it
needs protection against itself It
needs the guidance Of comparatively
more advanced people The true com
nent on the Frank case is to be kind

Labor Day Editions

(FrOm the Union Record, Seattle)
During the past two weeks the mail
of the Union Record has been full of
bulky packages which upon being
opened turn out to be Labor Day edi-
tons of the various labor papers of
the country. An analysis of one of
these editions goes for practically all
of them as | have found by weary
search through most of them.
First of all there is a cover page de-
picting, usually, a Laborer in overalls
with a hammer dangling from one
hand idiotically grinning across the
page at fat and prosperous appear
ing Capital standing over a bag of
money with his hands in pockets and
Sinking back at Labor. (There would
be some compensation in this picture
if Labor only held the hammer up
with the appearance of a threat to
bring it down on Capitals conk.)
Secondly, there is an editorial by
Samuel Gompers on Labor Day and
it's significance, written perhaps ten
years ago, followed by few clippings
the editor has been saving up for the
past year and which he could not get
into his regular editions.
Following this come in rapid success
sion few portraits of more or less
prominent labor leaders usually the
ones who could be prevailed on to
dig up couple of dollars to pay for
the cuts) and a more or less imposing
array of cheap politicians who desire
to SHOW their friendship for organ
lied labor"
Then come page on page accord
ing to the ability and activity of the
strong-arm solicitor who put on" the
edition) of little ads from cheapskate
business men under headings of
Friends of Organized Labor" "These
Firms Appreciate Your Patronage"
"Staunch Friends of the Unions" etc,
who expect by the expenditure of five
or ten dollars once year in the La
Dor Day Annual to buy the friendship
and patronage of organized labor for
the next twelve months. Literally be-
sprinkled amongst the small firms are
"writeups' in which the outstanding
unfairness of the principal enemies OF
unionism in that locality is carefully
covered up for a consideration"
The sum total is an overgrown, awk-
ward booklet, devoid of literary, news
or advertising value, which has en-
abled the editor or manager as the
case may be, to replenish a depleted
eXchequer to the extent of four or
five hundred dollars, while the ener-
getc solicitor who all too seldom is
not even a member of any union, has
lined his pockets to the extent of per
haps twice as much-and all at the
expense of the good name and in
tegrity of the labor movement.
The Labor Day edition is both a
moral and a business delinquent and
I trust soon to see the day it is elm
mated The Union Record two years
ago abolished the practice of issuing
such editions and the result has been
a phenomenal growth in advertising
revenues for the paper, while business
agents working for their various or
CARNATIONS have found a better un-
derstanding of the labor movement
pervading the ranks of the business
community and less disposition to
treat them as holdup artists. | am
confident other communities will find
like results if the labor movement
will show the same disposition as has
always existed in Seattle of loyal sup
mort to the labor paper

When Roosevelt spoke of danger of
disaster to a rich, unarmed and ag-
gressive people, he may possibly have
scared whatever people in this coun-
try happen to be in that condition.
That is, he may have scared some Of
them. The proportion of sensible ones
who cannot be moved by such outcries
is as great as among other classes.
Still, if these should feel alarmed, let
them arm themselves by all means
at their own expense. AS to the 65
per cent. of the people who own but
) per cent of the wealth, they have
surely more important business on
hand in the job of putting an end to
the unjust conditions that enable an
aggressive and unarmed class to be-
come rich by appropriating without
adequate return the fruits of their
labor,

Possibly Colonel Roosevelt's hys-
terra about possible disaster to a
rich, aggressive and unarmed ma
ton" is disproven by conditions in the
United States. Two per cent. of the
people who own IS per cent of the
national wealth are certainly rich.
Some of them are aggressive, and
most of them are unarmed, but if they
are in any danger of disaster through
attack by the people nearest them,
no one seems aware of it; not even
the Colonel himself. In the same coun-
try with them are millions of people
who in spite of industry and econ
omy have nothing. These have been
unjustly deprived Of the fruits of their
labor through unjust laws. But they
harbor no intention of attacking any
who may be rich, even though they
be also aggressive and unarmed. Just
calm yourself. Colonel!

THE surest way for nation to in
vite disaster" says Colonel Roosevelt,
''is to be rich, aggressive and I'M
armed" That should not cause much
nervousness in nation where 65 per
cent of the people own only five per
cent of it's wealth. In such a cOun-
try the masses must be very poor.
The fact that they are in that condi-
ton shows in itself that they are not
aggressive, and as to being unarmed,
none but violent revolutionist would
consider that an evil. SO why be con-
cerned about what may happen to a
