RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF
Lincoln on the
Rights of Labor
I AM glad a system of labor
prevails under which labor
ers can strike when they
want to whero they are not
obliged to work under n circum
stances ; and are not tied down
and obliged to labor whether you
pay them for It or not. I liko tho
system which lets a man "quit"
when he wants to, and 1 wish it
might prevail overywhere.
I do not believe in a law to pre
vent a man setting rich ; that
would do more harm than good.
So, while we do not proposo any
war upon Capital, wo do wish
to allow the humblest an qual
chance to get rich with every
body else.
I want every man to havo a
chance to better his condition;
that is the true system.
I am not ashamed to confess
that twenty-fivo years ago I was
a hired laborer.

UPLIFT! THE MOTIVE
Fuller, Purer and Happier Lives

Strength of Organ

lRr '8 tho parade
M 1 Tho culmination of tho an-
nlversary or celebration Is
tho long train of marchers
rejoicing over victories. Tho most Im
pressive trtbuto to a Man Is tho march
with him to his tomb.
, Labor has victories to celebrato,
gains to rejoice over, tribute to pay.
Tho work of tho labor movement has
jbeen mainly along three lines: influ
encing of public opinion, legislative
effort, and the direct improvement of
'the labor conditions of its members.
This last lino of work has absorbed
most of its tlmo and energy, and its
'success has been gratifying, though
not so great ns it might havo been had
'its efforts been directed against the
'causes instead of the effects, writes
Henry Sterling, in Joo Chapple'B Nowb
Letter. Nearly every huraano measure on
-any statute book in any lancTlB tho
outcome of intense, protracted strug
gle Each was suggested first by la
boring men and women, generally in
a labor union. Churches havo pre
pared men for another world, but labor
unions have sweetened life in this.
The press, tho politician, the court, the
philanthropist have all worked in their
own way for the uplift of humanity;
the unions have taken millions of chil
dren from blighting toil and sent them
to school, and that la the only effectual
means of uplift.
Low wages, and fear of idleness and
-want, drive men to long hours of labor
that exhaust them physically, morally
and spiritually. Again, fear of losing
a Job Induces a species of servility, a
submission to petty tyranny and exac
tions, that Is wholly foreign to a man
ly spirit. Ready, prompt, cheerful
obedience to proper orders is a virtue
that becomes a man, but he whose
necessities compel submission to in
dignity and imposition is a pitiable ob
ject indeed.
Better wages, hours and labor con
ditions are the things essential for a
tetter civilization. The union makes
no mlstako when it demands them.
Tho unions have said that wages are
too low to 11 vo properly; the result is
an increase of a million dollars a day.
They said that tho working day was
too long, that we lacked time for ed
ucation or recreation. The hours oi
Jabor are being rapidly reduced, not
only for union men, but for all men.
The conditions, sanitary and other

bor's protest has brought about some
Improvement, and promise of moro.
Laws to protect labor, especially child
and woman labor, and to promote Us
welfare, now All volumes. Fifty years
ago a small pamphlet would afford
.apace for them all.
This year we have made provision
for the care of every man Injured at
his work, and for the support of bis
family. When we consider that there
is at least one worker killed In Massa
chusetts at his labor every day, and
nearly two hundred Injured, we con
celve that we have done a great work
In assuring them against want.
These are some of the things which
we have accomplished, and It is fitting
that we should set aside a day to cele
brate victories, rejoice over our gains,
.and gather renewed strength and
cheer for future battles.
But all these achievements are small
compared to one now becoming more
and moro apparent. We are conquer

science of tho people to the justice of
our demand for greater meanB, more
leisure and better conditions of labor,
in order that we may enjoy largor

FIRST PARADE IN 1882
Knights of Labor of New York Inaug
urated the March, as a Celebration
of the Day, In the Eastern
Metropolis That Year.
UNLIKE other holidays that are
observed by tho American peo
ple, Labor day did not have Its
beginning In tho commemora
tion of any great event In tho world's
history and for that reason thero is
considerable doubt as to who waB re
sponsible for Us birth.
There nro many who lay claim to
being the originators of Labor's na

many chronological tables produced
In support of each ono's claim. Au

tlmo dream that what to them was
merely an outing for the tollers of
the metropolis would in tho not dis
tant future assume world-wido propor
tions. It is a coincidence that the men
who laid the, foundations for Labor
day selected the first Monday in Sep
tember. Why they did so they do not
know except for tho fact that at
that time of tho year most of tho
industrial institutions of tho country
are cither about to resumo operations
or havo done so, nnd with a year of
steady work and good wages as the
prospect tho tollers felt more in a
mood to Jubilate
Tho first celebration in Now York
took tho form which has been tho
accepted ono for years, namely, a
parade of tho union forces of tho
city. Following this nnothor fea
ture, speeches by leading labor ora
tors, was also found on the pro
gram. Following tho New York outing In
1882, the. same organization, encour
aged by tho success of tho first affair,
held another ono two years later. The
wage-workers In other parts of the
country started celebrations of the
same kind.
In 1886 the American Federation of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and Instructed the
delegates to work among their con
stituents and secure as early as pos
sible legislative approval of it. This
gave the movement Its real start.

1887, the bill which bad passed both
houses unanimously received official
sanction. Following closely after
came New Jersey, on April 8 of the

The trade unionists of Pennsylvania

NOW that it is a llttlo too late to want n straw hat, nnd considerably too
early to buy a volvot or winter felt, a botween-seasone Idea hns been
launched In that dear Paris. It is tho blnek or white satin hat nnd it is
trimmed with a gauzo butterfly. The "gauzo" is lino mallno, of courBo,
but "gauzo" goes bolter with "butterfly."
The satin ha nnd tho gauzo butterfly have made nn instantnncous suc
cess. Already tho manufacturers aro getting dully telegrams from nil points
of the compass, and aro laying wngers with each other as to which particular
satin lint with a butterfly is ordered In said telegram.
These hats usually havo soft crowns nnd somowhat floxtblo brims. They
fit closo to tho head and are worn without n hat pin.
The liking for black is a reaction after tho rlotouB voguo of riotous colors
which is passing with tho summer.

PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY
Hand-Painted Effects Are Among the
8eason's Novelties and Have
Been Received With Favor.
The application of anallne dyes In
hand-painted effects to millinery of
the season is an entirely new device,
and the- result is unique. White os
trich feathers, long and thick, aro dec
orated in flower designs in natural
colors. The design runs upward with
tho quill and spreads out on tho flues.
Another fancy is to paint tho straw
hat directly, Just in tho design the
flowers would make, or fruit, wero it
placed upon it. On tho brim or on
the crown, or partly under tho brim,
or on its upturned edge. Here tho
pattern is traced In brilliant tones.
White straw and "natural" straw aro
the only shades bo decorated. Any
surface or quality may be UBcd. Gar
den hats are really protty dono in this
way. A design of cherries in red with
green leaves and gray twigs of stems
is, for Instance, especially odd,

It Is a huelcsB compromloo when

Upward Strokes of Beauty.
When my llttlo girl waB born the
old colored nurse I got for her told
me that it I brushed her hair tho
wrong way It would make it curly,
writes a correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. Whether that was
what did It or not I do not know, but
her hair, while it never really curled,
has always stood away from her head
in a soft, pretty way. Mammy's In
structions set me to thinking. I real
ized that all faces fall as thoy grew
old, and I wondered why it wouldn't
be wise to wash and dry tho face up
instead of down. I not only taught
ray little daughter to do this eho al
ways wipes upward but I began on
myself. Today, at forty-seven, not a
muscle In my face has fallen; there
are no droopy lines in it, and no sag
ging shows at my chin. My eyolashos
nro always noticed becauso thoy curl
upward so prettily (thoy didn't before
I began the upward treatment), and
my daughter's are Just like them.
Best Use of Scent
The best way to uso scent, If you
care to uso It at all, is to put a deli
cate extract in an atomizer and spray
yourself with It Strong scents are
offensive and the most subtle and
elusive odor Is that obtained from a
generous use of sachot bags laid
among one's lingerie, in the drawers
with one's handkerchiefs, gloves and
veils, and possibly fastened In the
front of one's stays or in some Inner
fold of the bodice. One can buy many
different kinds of powder for sachets,
but whatever you choose, heliotrope,
violet rose or carnation, remember
that the addition of a little orris pow
der will add to its strength and make
It more lasting.

Berlin. Nouschwanstom Is a dream
talo, a fairy talo casllo of tho most
faultless kind, tho only thing lack
ing Is tho memories of tho beautiful
princess, tho knights and ladles nnd
tho court fool, for no ono ever lived
hero but a lonely, sad prluco, Ludwlg
II. of Dnvnrla, called tho Mud King.
Although ho was so lonely, ho loved
solltudo and it was vory ncldom that
he ovor had guests nnd then they
wore mostly men, for Ludwlg hated
all women except two, one his cousin,
Elizabeth of Austria, who was shot
In Gcnova a number of yenrs ago, and
tho othor was Mario Antoinette, to
whoso momory Ludwlg wns dovoted.
Wo left Munich early In the morn
ing nnd wo nrrlved nt Fusson at noon.
Tho dlstnnco was not great, but tho
train goen In n clrclo Instead of on
a direct lino. It was a wonderful rldo
and nil tho way along we saw tho
Bavarian Alps sometimes on ono stdo
of the enr window and sometimes on
tho othor, for thoy switched about
llko mnglc.
Fusson Is n funny llttlo vlllngo situ
ated at tho foot of tho mountains.
Hero wo hired a rig that was to tako
n h to HohonHchwnngan, whero tho
caBtleH of Ilohenschwnngnu and
NeiiHchwanstcIn are situated. Our
driver wib n mountain peasant with
a huge goiter on his neck. This
dlscaso Ib vory common In all tho
highland regions of Havnrla and
Switzerland, nnd comes from tho wa
ter of tho country. Our rig was not
exactly dashing. It wns Intended for
two horses, and bh our drlvor only
possossod ono horso ho hltrhod it on
ono side nnd tho horso had to walk
Btdoways to keep tho rig from tipping
ovor.
Tho country from Fusson to Hohon
schwangan waB perfectly flat, and wo
crossed ovor sovcral llttlo streams
nnd passed several bcnutlful lakes.
Tho driver explained ovcrythlng to
us in n languago that even a northern
German could not understand, and ho
flourished his whip nround nnd tossod
tho feather in his Alpine hat.
When we ennio nenr Hohcnschwan
gan wo caught our first gllmpso ot
NeuBchwaustcln, standing white and
duzzllng against tho green of tho
mountains. It Is a much smaller look
ing castlo than ono would think from
its pictures, but it looked so completo,
so compact that It seemed exactly tho
right size
We lunched at the Inn before start
lug up the mountain and our waiter
told us that lie did not think we could
get Into the castlo as It was an off
eoason. However, wo determined to
try and we started up tho little zlf g
ley foot path up the mountain. After
wo had climbed and climbed we came
to a fine boulevard, which led direct
ly to the castle gate.
Looking over the wall built at tho
castle gate wo got a splendid view ot
all tho surrounding country. It was
a flat country dfftted over with shin
ing Inkcs and small villages. Tho
castlo of llohenschwnngan looked old
nnd jaded besides tho glory ot Nou
Bchwausteln. Away in tho dlstnnco
we could seo tho faint outllno of tho
Alps.
Wo sounded tho castlo bell several
times beforo wo got nn answer, but
finally a spruce looking young Ger
man opened tho gates and explained
that we could not bo admitted. But a
five mark piece mado him chango his
mind and he said that ho would show
us part or tho castle, tho part that
Ludwlg occupied during his three
years' resldonco there.
Wo went through one splendid
room after another, and everywhere
we saw swans, and nearly every room
was done In blue royal blue. This
bluo was Ludwlg'a favorite color and
he always had his bed chamber hung
In it no matter where he lived. It Is
so rich a color, It affects the senses
like the sound of music. Tho swanB
were woven Into the most Intricate
patterns, on the celling, on the drap
eries, and carved on the chairs. In
the center of the state dining table
was a great white swan, that waB
meant to hold fruit and flowers.

HOW TRAGEDY WAS AVERTED
Farmer Saw His Predictions Verified
If Train Had Only Come Through
His Land Sideways.
In a TcnnoBBoe backwoods lived i
fnrmer who, although ho had never
seen a rullroad, yet had his opinion
ot them and tho mischief which he
understood they might cause. Accord
ing to his notion, a train was as
much to bo dreaded as a cyclone It
self. Great, then, was his consterna
tion upon learning that a right ot
way for a railroad was wanted
through his farm. Ho Bworo "by
hickory" that no monoy could buy it.
Finally land enough for tho purpose
was condemned nnd the road built.
Tho day tho flrst train was to pass,
tho nulghnors, knowing of tho old
fellow's opposition, persuaded him,
nevertheless, to go with them to see
It. As tho train disappeared, some
ono Bald: "You see, Ulll, It didn't
hurt anything, nftor all." Hill was
surprised, but hated to abandon his
contention that n train would ruin
things. "Wal, yaas," ho said, "I
reckon that yo mought say so, but
yo seo tho gosh-durned thing come
through hore endways. VA It hed
