A down east Yankee Is now of
fering a correspondence course In
aviation. No doubt It's a safe way
to take the lessons. If there is to
be no work except the written. The
mall order course In flying for us.
An Omaha paper saye, "Kvery day
discloses the fact that the Wilson
and Marshall cause in this state is
fortunate In having so clean a gub
ernatorial candidate as John 11.
Morehead as Its standard bearer."
Yes. Just think of what a fix we
Nebraska democrats would have been
In If presidential election had been
!wo years ago.
We have a letter from our Wash
ington correspondent this week that
Is unusually interesting and contains
a lot of Information In small com
pass on the high tariff question.
We especially Invite laboring men,
and women, too, who still think thai
the protective tariff protects them
and betters their financial condition
to read The Herald's Washington
letter this week.
The Northport Ileral d well says,
"Whether the people like Mi. House
veil personally is immaterial, the
men back of him are honest In their
beliefs." The editor pf the North
port Herald is right. .Mr. RoOBOVoll
mat be wrong and there ma) be
some unscrupulous politicians among
the leaders of the bull moose party,
but the rank and file of those who
will vote the new party ticket are
sincere and believe they are right in
leaving the old parties; and they
can not be persuaded to remain In
the republican and democratic pat
ties by hurling brickbats at them.
The 11 raid makes use of scissors
and uaate to ecu re for our readers
eome of the best things to he found
In our exchunges. We occasionally
find in many of our exchanges items
that are of interest to our inan
readers. Without trying to mention
all of the newspapers from which
we use clippings, we might mention
that we have found It a special
pleasure to ollp from Con Uncle
inaun's Crawford Tribune. Hen Brew-
sur'.- Chadron chronicle ami K. f.
Moon's ScottBblurf Herald, not for
getting to mention, also, the North
port Herald by C. I. Oasper. a vet
eran Nebraska newspaper man. All
of these papers are deino.-ratic. of
the progressive kind, and we beliee
without exception have bjen on the
Bryau-Wtlson side in the contest for
supremacy that has been going
in Nebraska between th
ments of the party.

Information Concerning Underpaid

BY CLYDE

TAVENNER
The editor of this paper haB a
letter from the National Free Labor
Association, 832 Broadway, N. Y..
giving information In regard to the
Booner convict goodB bill (II. R.
6601 , advocated by organized labor,
by manufacturers' and merchants' as
sociations, and by philanthropists and
social reform societies. Tills bill
passed the House unanimously. Mar
5, IMt. It 1b being held up in u
Senate subcommittee, of which Sen
ator Brown of Nebraska is chairman,
in behalf of Interests that profit by
prison labor contracts If any of the
readers of The Herald have auy in
fluence with the senior senator of
Nebraska, wi suggest that they Brit
him in regard to this matter. Per
sons wishing further information on
the above bill and the interests thai
are opposing It, can probabl) sc ore
the information that they want by
writing the National Free Labor As
sociation at the address aboe given.
Washington. Aug 14, In the city
of Lawrence, Mass., where the high
ly protected woolen mills hold forth;
where boys and girls work for $2,
$i! and $4 a week, and fathers and
mothers work long hours for $5, $
and $7 a week for full time., 47 out
of 100 deaths are those of children
under 5 years of age. And of tli -e
47 children, :!" are under I year of
age. The doctors declare, the big
majority of these children perish be
cause their mot hers labor such long
hours, under unsanitary conditions.
In she woolen mills.
But mark the percentage of child
deaths in Lawrence particularly: Forty-seven
out of every 190 persons
that die In Lawrence are children
under 5 years of age. Now compare
this with Seattle. Wash. There, out
of every 10(1 persons who die, bat
I!' are children under 5 years of age.
The average for the wholecouniry
Is 27 children under 5 years of aie
instead, of 47 as in Lawrence, antl
for the whole country 19 out of ev
ery loo deaths are of children under
1 year of age. Instead of l!5 as In
Lawrence.
In Fall River. Muss., where Luc
woolen trust also operates, 50 out
of every 100 persons that die, are
children under 5 years. At New
Bedford. Mass., another mill town,
4! out of every persons that die
are children under B years, antl the
great majority of the 4:t are babe.
These people wtio work In the
woolen mills aiv "protected." That
Is. the multi-millionaire woolen tfUlt
magnates who tome to Washington
for OSOesaive protection. Bay that
the sole reason they desire tariff
rates which give them a monopoly
on American markets and permit
thm to charge double the vakie of
woolen clothing, is that they are
"protecting" their employes.
In addition to making this plea,
the trust magnates, of course, make
liberal contributions of m m to the
campaign funds of the party of pro
tection. The result .is such bill, M
Schedule K of the Payne -Aldrich law.
Here is a plain question for th?
American people to ask themselves:
Why should they longer permit a
comparative handful of millionaires
to force them to pay exhorbitant
prices for every article of woolen
clothing they wear, on the pretext
of these rich men that they are
"protecting"' their employes. when
these employes are not only not be
ing protected, but are being paid
such low wages that they are prac
tically compelled to live like' cattle.

V. J. Taylor was in town on Mon
day on hU wa home to Mer.na. He
had just returned from a business
trip to the counties east of Custer,
and while there put in a few days
looking after his campaign as con
gressional nominee. It Is needless
to say that W. J. will be the next
representative In the national house
from the sixth Nebraska district.
There Is no question but that th
wily Moses is on the run. and his
affection for the Taft administration
has ben his undoing The pro
gressive republicans of this district
are going to see to It that no stand
patter stays on the pay roll Mr.
Taylor made, his trip "east by aut,o.

such a trip. At one time he was
