before. I never asked him to play it again, for I wanted to remem

I returned to Omaha, ami on the frain I wrote the following bit of
verse. Sine then it has been repeated many times in the Workl
Uerald and The Commoner, and every now and then some one writes
to ask for it. Mr. Armstead passed to his reward last week. When
his effeets were examined the verses, frayed and yellowed with age,
and elipped from the World-Herald, were found in his poeketbook:

Organized Labor Indorses Wilsomi
To all organized woikeis take notice, that the
Federation of Labor in the state of New Jersey has
given Governor Wilson their unrestricted endorse
ment and recemmends him as the "friend of labor."
Laboring men in every fine of occupation are
particularly interested in this election.
Wilson is going to he elected and it is of interest
to the laboring men that he shall have their votes.
Republicans are attempting to coerce labor. It is
the same old story. They talk shout the panic of
1893, but they do not tell yon of the panic of 1907.
Bat labor mem and railroad men remember it. They
remember when industry was paralyzed and when
box can were standing idle upon the tracks. They
remember when they could not collect their wages
in money but had to take clearing house certificates.
- They also remember the soup house and the suffer
ing. They also remember that these dark days were
under the administration of Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt promised reform. He was president
seven years. What lefoims did he put through?
WHAT IS THE REAL TROUBLE TODAY?
Practically every article that a man buys for him
self or his family is in the hands of some trust or
combination which has a monopoly. Having a
monopoly they can fix prices. The cost of living'
has become so high that even with fair wages a man
dont have a dollar left at the end of the month
after he pays his bills.
How much are yon saving? It isnt'the amount of
wages a man earns. It is what he can buy with his
earnings. Under Roosevelt and Taft the cost of
living has been going higher and higher every day.
Taft wants to be elected again. What has he done
during his three years to appeal to a working- man,
until within the past two or three months, business
has been prostrated under his administration. Busi
ness did not revive until it became apparent that
Wilson is to be elected.
