WILL MAUPIN'S WEEKLY THE WAGEWORKER WILL M. MAUPIN, Editor F. L. SHOOP, Business Manager Published Weekly at Lincoln, Nebraska, by The M&upin-Shoop Publishing Ccrcpapy. "Entered as second-class matter February 3. 19 1 1. at the post office at Lincoln, Nebraska, under the Act of March 3, 1879. ONE DOLLARS THE YEAR The motor of the Harmon hoom is missing its spark. We dare Judge CJrosscup to leave his ease o the "court of puhlie opinion." v Cheer up! You know- we simply can't have hard times under a republican administration. ' Tom Hall will not rest easy until as sured that Mr. Harrington is not going to endorse him. "High time for us to get our holidav clothes fut," remarks the Omaha World Herald. Sure you haven't hist the 'Ticket? The peculiar grating sound from the south is merely your Uncle Champ Clark industriously sawing a lot of presidential wood. ;. Those Nebraska farmers who thought reciprocity too good a thing for the Cana dians will not have a chance to think it over. Here it is Friday again -and Mike Har rington hasn't published a single letter this week. What's smatter? Typewriter machine bust ed? If we had to undergo such a slump of business during a democratic administra tion we'd hear an awful roar about a "democratic panic." Alabama republicans have already in structed their delegates for Taft. There are just enough republicans in Alabama to fill all the federal offices. Will anybody deny that Canada had as much reason for vetoing Taft's reci procity measure as Taft had for vetoing the farmers' free list and the wool bill? The reform newspaper that is oppos ing Judge Oldham because he got a big vote in Douglas is supporting Hose who got an even greater vote in Douglas. But lie who looks for consistency in a fanatic is liable to acquire a bad case of strained eyesight. It was all well and proper for our Canadian cousins to dissemble their love, but really it wasn't necessary for them to kick our president down the backstairs. Are we coming to the time when men will le judged as to their fitness for ju dicial office on whether they lielieve in baptism by immersion or baptism by dip ping or pouring? President Taft says the democrats did their tariff tinkering with blacksmith's tools. So different, don't you know, from the republican method of tariff tinker ing with burglar's tools. The story that Mr. Bryan cleaned up 25,000 from a crop of Bermuda onions on his Texas farm recalls to mind the stories about the "30,000 barn" and that "5,000 carriage team." Te internal revenue department has ruled that employes in cigar factories may not take cigars out of the factory stock. This may mean that some really good cigars will be left for us who have to buv theiii. If the Lincoln baseball team expects us to induce President Taft to witness a game while in Lincoln it will have to take a brace. We will insist that the president le invited to look only at in spiring sights. We stop the press, long enough to emphatically deny the rumor that Gover nor Aldrich is going to swat President Taft over the head with a progressive club on the occasion of the latter's visit to our splendid commonwealth. Ueferring to the opposition manifested in certain quarters towards a couple of nominees for the supreme bench, we are reminded of the fact that there are men too good to spend money for whisky, and men who are too alhfired mean to spend monev for whiskv. The Falls City Journal speaks of the railway commissionship as being the low est salaried office in the state. Guess again. It is the highest salaried office save only that of judge of the supreme court. We pay one governor 2,500 a year, and three railway commissioners 3,000 a year each. A New York dispatch dated Sept. 19, says: "The greatest attempt to Chris tianize the L'nited States ever made was launched here Monday night. The dis patch then states that J. Pierpont Mor gan and scores of others are giving their "moral and financial support" to the movement. Excuse us while we laugh That movement will have plenty to do if it evangelizes some of its. "moral .and. financial supporters." - PRINTING There is nothing in the Printing Line we cannot do and do well COLOR WORK That is a Specialty with this Printery.
