head, or verv nearly at the head, of
the be3t of junior normal schools, and
we are confident that our junior normal
enrollment of 181 is ahead of the bona
fide junior normal enrollment in the

American Federation
Will Support W.J. Bryan
President Gompers oi the American
Federation of Dacor, which represents
3,000,000 voters, in au interview with a
Lincoln Star lepresentativc at Lincoln
last Tuesday morning made the follow
ing state in reference to the political
situation:
"I am very well satisfied with the
Democratic platform as promulgated
at the Denver convention," said Mr.
Gompers, "and I will do everything in
my power to ratify that platform. The
officials of the American Federation of
Labor seem satisfied with the Denver
platform and will support it. The Re
publican party has repudiated the just
demands of the working people, and
in that action has taken a stand for
injustice and unfair treatment of labor.
We did not get any exptessious in that
line from the Republican platform, but
the Democrats went on record for the
fair thing.
"As for myself, 1 have been a Re
publican, but I shall vote this fall for
Mr. Bryan and will go on the stump
for the Democratic national ticket and
will use all honorable means within my
power to secure his election. The Dem
ocratic platform expresses the princi
ples for which the American Federation
of Labor and its officers have worked,
and of course, in supporting and fight
ing for the success of these principles
we will support and fight for the candi
dates who are pledged to carry them
into effect.
"All our affiliated organizations have
been instructed to work for the princi
ples of justice and right and in their
meetings they have declared for the
principles that the Democrats have
embodied in their platform. The labor
organizations have been instructed to
support these declarations and of
course that means we will work for the
election of the men who stand for our
principles.
"I have never expected defeat in any
undertaking, never hoped for defeat
and never have given up fighting for
an idea or principle that I firmly be
lieved to be right and just. I will al
ways be found fighting for what I be
lieve is right, no matter what the tem
porary results may be. I believe that
in this fight we now have on hand,
that we will win, and I shall work for
Mr. Bryan's election and for the rati
fication of the principles that we have
advocated as officers and as an organi
zation." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS t

THOUGHTS
BY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
THE MASTER'S EYE
THERE Is an anolant provarb that "the matter eye
doaa mora work than both hla hand." The modern
veralon of the maater'a eye la a card catalogue ayatem
that keepa a record of the work of thouaanda of employea of
a great Industrial Institution. In pasalng auch a card file the
ether day I made Inquiry about It, and the manager aald:
"Thla la our ayatem for keeping track of the mlatakea
made by employes. Nearly every mlatake we discover In
any part of the work la traced back to the employe who
made it, and It la recorded here agalnat hie name."
"Do you point out each person's mlatakea to him at the
timet"
"Oh, yea. Especially when they amount to much. But
we don't apeak about every mistake. That would only con
fuse the employee and make them fearful and probably lead
to making mora errors."
"What do you find la the cause for most mletakea?"
"Carelessness almost every time."
"How does your system affect thatf"
"Well, he said, "the mere fact that we keep auch
record la a stlmulua to employes to' be careful. Even If we
never looked up a card It would be worth while keeping up
the aystem just for the general Influence It has. Dut we refer
to It often. And we know It worke because the percentage
of mistakes Is lowered from year to year.'
