M Congress put through the Adamson railroad law under pressure of the U President. That law is not even an 8-hour law it is simply a law in creasing wages of trainmen, who threatened a strike if they didn't get an in crease. It merely provides that ten hours' pay shall be given for eight hours work, thus increasing the pay of engine and trainmen -5 per cent. Under a U. S. statute now in force these engine and trainmen may work iO hours a day. Thus, an engineer getting Foe an hour will receive under the Adamson law S16.00 for a dav of 16 hours, where now 'he gets but $12.80. The railroads fuv this increase in wages will amount to $100,000,000 per year; the railway un'.s iusist that the increase will be but $00,000,000 per year. flTf But this is not all. The engine and trainmen are but 20 per cent of the U railroad employees, and nuw'the o;her 80 ; ?r cniare preparing to demand equal treatment. TT President Wilson has said that this in" -- in wages, if necessary, shall ll be taken care of by an increase in freigi.t rates, and. of course, an increase in freight rates will be necessary. In fact, the Adamson law not only pur poses to reimburse the railroads in this manner, but the railroads can he de pended upon to get more. tfjf Nebraska is in the middle of the continent and no State has a longer haul ol to the Atlantic or the Pacific; therefore is it not evident that this bill is of vital importance to every farmer and consumer in Nebraska, as these, and not the railroads, arc the ow who aiv to pay the cost? For years Nebraska farm ers fought for lower freight rati :.iul succeeded. Now we are going back to the eld ways, with a project that rates will be higher than ever before in the history of the State. tfjT" Farmers and consu:"ors of Nebraska, you remember how you have strug- jl gled to get the rates you are entitled to. Are you going to submit to this new imposition this action of the President and Congress to undo your work of years? , VOTE EOR HUGHES The Hur.nns Alliance or Nebraska mWMtMll7mT$7m iirrnm iTi'mmt mrr -'-n Maskell Items in "Newcastle Times: Gt C.

Judge Fawcett is regarded by the Nebras ka bar a3 a man of the highest in tegrity and one of the most able jurists who ever served on tho high bench of Nebraska. Judge Fawcett is distinctly a self-inade nian, having worked his own way to a legal edu cation. His exceptional talents were soon recognized at tho bar, resulting in his election as a district judge of the Omaha district, later confirmed by re-election, making a continnous sorvico'of eight years. Judge Faw cett was appointed to the supremo bench in December, 1908, was elect ed to a full term in 1909, which he is just completing, and is a candidate now for election as chief justice on a non-partisan ballot. No ihigher compliment can be paid Judge Faw cett than to restate a truth univer sally known to the legal profession of the state: That ho is everywhere regarded as fearless, unbiased and capable in the highest degroe. His election as chief justice will be both a warrant and a guarantee that tho work of the court will be expedited to the fullest degree consistent with careful and scholarly consideration of the issues presented. Judge Fawcctt's record on the bench fully bears out this well-earned reputation. -., 'thwv -iff n,' "J""M For Socio Two Hampshire male hogs, weight about 200 pounds each. Wm. II.
