Through the sweep of the melody there sounded the plaintive minor wail, harmonixing with it ami jet seemingly not a part of it. I had never heard him play it before. I never asked him to play it again, for I wanted to remem ber it just as he played it for me that night. The next morning 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.

The chief reason why Henry C Richmond should be elected' is that he is the best mah nomtnateil frtr the posi tion. Others are his tireless en ergy, his ability, his personality and his freedom from any entang ling alliances. He is not now. nor never was the wvrner of any stock in an insurance company and was never employed by an insnrauee company. He would enter upon the discharge of his dnttek wholly xinbiased and fully prepared to xlo exact justice to the insurance companies and to the buyers of insurance. He would enforce the laws impartially, and would give his whole attention to serving the people faithfully and well. have known Mr. Kiekniond for, more than twenty years; have worked with kim on tke same newspaper: have seen him ably dis charge important duties given kim. and know tkat he will make good.

The Omaha Commercial Club has just moved into its handsome new quarters in the Woodmen of the World building at Fifteenth and Farnam.

Preparations for the "Made in Lincoln exposition are'nnder way and enough progress kas been made to warrant the claim that it will be by far the best thing of the kind ever pulled off in The west.

Vccc Go.. 320 0 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. s t Y
