Asks Adnnison Law Repeal.
Ft. Worth, Tex. II. N. Pope, presi
dent of tho association of farmers'
unions, hns issued a statement nsking
tho farmors to urge their congress
men to repeal tho Adamson law at
tho pext session of congress Mr.
Pope has also issued a phamlet an
alyzing tho effect of thin law upon
agricultural Interests. Mr, Popo de
nounces tho law as offending tho cove
nant which tho government mado tho
peoplo to glvo equal rights to all nnd
special privileges to none. His state
ment says in part:
"Tho defenders of tho Adamson law
bavo had much to say about emanci
pating labor, buit how about enslaving
tho farmer? If giving to trainmen is a
virtue, Is not taking from tho farm
er a crime? Haa congress tho power
to increase tho expenses of industry
many millions of dollars without somo
one paying tho bill? If so, then con
gross; should Immediately aasemblo
and leglslato nil tho people and Idle
ness and wealth. This law is unsound
In principlo and unjust in application,
If wo nro to extend (this character of
benevolent legislation to all railroad
employes, as well as to tho employes
of all other lines of Industry, it will
take tho Anlorican wheat crop to
flnanco tho Adamson law. This Is an
annual contribution which tho farmers
of tho nation aro not financially able
to mako and tho only law to prevent
it Is to persuado our congressman no
mattor of what pqlltcal faith, to itnko
tfhto lnw of tho ntatuto book. Tho
question Is not whother this or that
political party should rulo but
whether congress has power to tako
tho wheat crop from tho American
farmer and glvo it to (tho tralnmon;
whether our govpmmpnt has author
ity to forco ono class of citizens to
turn over proporty to any othor class
without compensation. It ithls char
acter of legislation is permitted to go
on our statuto books thon proporty
lias no irights thoit congress la bound
to respect."
Senator Hitchcock Hero Today.
United States Senator Hitchcock,
who has boon campaigning In wcsitorn
Nobraska this week arrived horo Just
boforo noon today, and at two o'clock
Mils attornoon will deliver an address
in front of tho Hotel McCabp, Sovoral
carloads of democrats mot tho sonator
and his par,ty at Maxwoll this fore
noon and escorted him to town. Ho
will speak at Herohey at 3:30 and at
Spltherlond at 4:30. Ho will bo accom
panied 'to the lnttor towns by a num
ber of local democrats, ,
Our Policy
It is pur policy to pay good
wages in order that wo may .se
cure and retain capable em
ployees. Also, we believe it is economy
and good business judgment to
pay high enough salaries, to
thoso who have proved their
worth, as will encourage the
younger people in tho organiza
tion to work faithfully with bet
ter positions as their goal.
Mnclilno Shops After the War.
Charles W. Schwab Is quoted by the
democrats as saying tho munition
shops will become machino shops af
tor the war. This is true, and applios
with oven groator forco to Europe
than to tho United Statos. Thirty
millions of Europe's population is Just
now occupied with tho business of
war. When ponce Is restored, thoy
will go back Into peaceful pursuits,
Just as will AmoricanB who aro now
employed as munition makers. All
tho energy now oxponded on fabricat
ing articles for the uses iof armies will
bo directed to production .to bo dis
tributed undor peaco. What doos this
mean to Amorlcans? That tho output
which is now sold In a market in
which tho demand steadily oxceods
tho supply will then be sold undor
tcfniis of fiercest competition known
to man's commercial history. Can tho
United States meet tho compotlon un
dor frco trado, with its markets open
to tho world? Will our Industry bo
continued and our prospority made
sure unlosfl we return to tho estab
lished principlo bf protection? An
swer this for your self. Omaha Bco.
Tho Girl Without n Chance.
Thero aro things happonlng every
day or night before our very oyos,
and wo don't oven stop to glvo them
any consideration. If wo were to do
so, tho system that has control of tho
workings of tho underworld, would
bo In an entirely dlfforcnjt channel,
than they aro at present. Picture to
yourself a young ;irl arriving here In
our city direct from a foreign country
ignorant of the ways and workings
of the underworld nnd who is at onco
aproached by ono of tho thousands
of agents Ithat aro employed by our
government, thai' nro supposed to di
rect girls to rellbalo Institutions, but
instead of directing them as thoy
should, they direct them to tho Head
of Dopartfont, that Is affiliated with
tho leaders of tho White Slave Traffic.

. THE HYPOCRITE.
I onco heard a man speak of an
other as a old hypocrite becauso
"ho says ho would hold up both hands
to vote for prohibition and tho
old fool likes it himself und gets it
evory time ho goes to liown." But I
said, "No sir, you aro wrong. Any
man who has got perception enough
to see that the appetite has got him,
and honest enough to own up Uo tho
danger, and backbono enough to want
to vote to put the temptation away
onco for all; that man who Is not a
hypocrlto but an honest man." Tho
hypocrite is tho man who Bays, "I
tako it or I can leave It alone," and
.hen always takes It.
Perhaps that Is a bit strong, for
thero aro many men who will mako
that boast who actually and sincerely
beliovo that thoy can let it alone, and
a real hypocrite is ono who knows
bej'.tcr but keeps trying ito deceive
himself and others with a mako be
liovo that fools no one, or at most
vory few.
It is hard to tell when a man gets
to that tftago for I have heard, ap
parently sincere men, claim they
could let It alone oven when every
ono olso knew thoy could not, by tho
simple test Ithat they did not So long
as wo have reason to beliovo that
such a man is honest with himself,
plain "fool" would fit much better
thnn hypocritfo.
On tho othor hand there are many
mon who have acquired tho tasto or
perhaps Just tho habit of drinking for
"sociability sake," who aro honest
enough with themselves to irocognizo
the fact .that thoy aro In danger long
boforo any ono olso takes any particu
lar notice of their habit.
Now danger is not absolute and a
fixed quantity, but comparative and
variable. What may bo safe (?) for
ono mnn is real danger for another,
and then danger is comparative be
causo .temptation is comparative and
varies with environment.
I have known near a dozen men
who told me thoy had moved to tho
farm so as to bo a llJ:lo further
from "Johnny O'Groats." All admitted
that "whoro it was bo handy" thoy
Woro gottlng to use too much, and one
or two that th'oy woro "going to tho
dogs;" so thoy simply took themselves

COMPANY
away from temptation and kept away
from town as much as posslblo to
keep out of danger. Maybo theso men
were weak and cowardly and maybe
they used Just good sense and com
mondablo caution, but hypocrites no
ono would call thorn. Now most of
thoso men wore rated as solid and sub
stantial men In their communities as
if it was good for them to take them
solvos away from tomptation and even
keep away from a town whoro Ithey
had a perfect right and even business
to go. Is it not equally good or better
for thoso same men to voto to put the
dangor out of the town so l will be
not only a safe place for them, but
for every one clso ns well?
It is easy not to want a drink whon
one doesn't think of It; it is easy not
to Khlnk of it whon one doesn't seo
a swinging screen or Bmoll the
"aroma," nnd especially is It easy for
n real man to put away the thoughts
of a hanker when Its no use, too far
off, too much trouble, or takes too
long.
Then .thero Is ttio ouVsldo Iforce,
even when there Is no desire, or one
that would bo easily satisfied, a man's
friends tempt him on and on and all
in tho namo of good fellowship. I
know quite a lot of men who like
their drnm ns well as anyone yet who
say thoy are .gpng to vojto dry and
their main reason Is always tho same.
"It don)t do us any good arid wo can
do without It." in somo cases It is
to holp others "whom it does hunt,"
and with somo it is their own dan
ger as well.
An instance runs something like
this, "I go in to town with a load of
hay, or grain or hogs and I want a
glass of beer real bad 'cause thalt
bottom water Is not good nohow, but
soon I get Inside tho door some one
sings out, Hey Jim haven't seen you
for a long tlmo, como have one on me.
I would rather pay for my own glass
and ono at the most two would be all
I would wnnt nnd .then I would go
any tho worse for It. hut it wrtni.i
of emiron nffpnil Tnr.li- fn rnfnan o t
drink .vlth him nnd of course not to
net like a yellow doe I havn .
Wi nn in tnrr. n,i m, t
ikiiun A I
get away from him, why In comes Bill
and grabs ray arm nnd snys, "Hold on
old man don't bo in such a hurry I
want to talk (to you, but I got to wet
my whistle first. What will it be?
Time I get off from Bill it In Bruno
ono else, so instead of one or two
glasses I have got five or six and feel
real mellow and don't caro -whether
T t-
i go nomo or not, maybe some one
win navo to help me get smarted. Next
uay 1 win reel like the dickens, so al-
together it will bo about a dollar or
iwu in money nnu a nair or oven a
wnoie days time lost, and a. mean
reeling ror a day or two, and all of
this Is too much to pay for a little
"goou rellowshlp" with men I don't
care much for at any other tlmo or
place."
Anotner will say "Don't think it
hurts mo hut I hato to drink with a
man whoso family I know needs tho
monoy ho Is spending and who I
know ought to he at home," or "I can
tako a glass or two and stop, but my
boy ho cannolt. I can got alonir soma-
how nnd then soon in a year or two
forgot about It, root beer and grape
Julco aro Just as good anyhow if wo
only think so."
If this Is hypocrisy thon wo need
more hypocrites of that kind. They
are every Inch men and amonc our
best. LOUIS MAflnv.
