Next Tuesday the voters of Lincoln will be called upon to vote for seven candidates for aldermen and the suc cessful candidates will serve for four years. The workingmen of the city should be very careful in their selec tion of preferred candidates. The Wageworker has a couple of candi dates it would like to see elected Sam Whiting and Ernest Hoppe, both democrats. Mr. Hoppe has made a good record as councilman, and his vote and influence has always been recorded on the side of labor. He fa vors a move towards getting a city park. He voted for the printers' reso lution in the council, and he is em phatically in favor of the eight-hour day. Sam Whiting is not an employer, but he is a "square man" and a friend of organization. The republican have nominated sev eral good men, but two of the republi can' candidates should be allowed to remain at home Brock and Wood ward . Woodward is no friend of or ganized labor. His house was built by "scab" carpenters because he could get them for less per day and work them nine hours. He is, or has been, a "short time loan" man, and that ought to be sufficient warrant for work ingmen to oppose him. Brock's record In the council a few years ago does not recomend his election as alderman. Mr. Hutton is a candidate on the republican ticket. If there is any more reason why union men should vote for his election as alderman than there was why they should vote for him for mayor, all right. If the union men of. the city want The Wage worker's opinion it is this: Vote for Hoppe and Whiting and against Brock and Woodward, and then your party ticket if it so pleases you. But see to It that Woodward Is de feated. ELECTRICAL WORKERS Preparing to Have a Good Time on June 2 at Their Hall The 'Electrical Workers1 of Lincoln are going to have a social on June 12, and are making preparations for a lit tle the finest time they have ever had. A good program is being prepared, and in addition to some literary and musi cal features there will be dancing and refreshments. The Electrical Workers have a repu tation for doing this sort of thing up in proper style, and the coming so cial will be no exception to the rule. The committee in charge is doing some lively hustling to get everything con nected up. Work In the electrical line is good, and no one is looking for work. The new city plant has added to the em ployment of men, and the constant ad ditions to the 'phone service does its part. The local is growing in strength and influence every day.

HAVING A CONFERENCE Printers and Employers Met to Talk Over the 8-Hour Day Detroit, Mich., May 27. A confer ence here between representatives of the International Typographical union and the United Typothetae of America from St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids and Detroit, on the eight hour work day, which has been declared for by the Typographical Union to take effect January 1, 1906, ended today with the adoption of the following agreement: "It is the sense of this body that the officers of the I. T. U-, and the officers of the U. T. of A. get together some time between now and January 6, 1906, In an endeavor to arrive at an amicable adjustment of this difficulty." The eight hour day was thoroughly discussed during the conference and it was said that the discussion made it apparent that both employers and em ployes were willing to make some con cessions. President Reaches We.MlBgton. President Roosevelt reached Wash ington from his Western trip, which he regards as one of the most enjoy able journeys he has taken since he has been president. He traveled 6,006 miles and passed through twelve states and three territories Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indi ana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. The demonstrations at every point where the president spoke are said by the official members of the party to have been the heartiest that have ever been accorded him on any trip. The president left the train immedi ately after it rolled into the station. He shook hands with the train em ployes, newspaper men, and others who greeted him. Then, with Dr. Lambert, he stepped into his carriage and was driven to the White House.

The Printers' Memorial Day (Continued from Page 1) we may upon the pinions of hope the blank silence of the grave is all that greets us. But I come not here to preach to you. I bear no message save that of brother to brother. The union to which you and I and most of us here belong is founded upon the everlasting principle of the brotherhood of man, and it is in obedience to that rule of conduct that we are here to pay our respects to the dead of our craft and to bedeck with bud and blossom the spot where now they lie. If these, our dead, could speak; if out of the infinity of knowledge which is now theirs, they could waft back to us some message, it would not be in description of some airy fairy habitation of myth and cloud and rainbow, but to bid you to be loyal and true one to another, to be kind, to be brave, to be merciful, to be just. They would not abjure vou to pin your faith of the future upon any time-worn creed, woven of the hopes and fears and alarms of men from whom the shackles of superstition had but fallen, but they would tell you that reverence for your God, love for vour fellow men, expressed in deeds rather than words, and the living of a decent, orderly life are about all of the orenaration reouired for immortality. Each of us occupies an important niche in life. To each of us a task meant onlv for our hands has been given. Let it be our pleas ure as well as our duty to so perform this work that we have been of benefit to our fellows and have added something to someone s happi ness: that when the time comes to join these stretched underneath six feet of motionless earth here before us ; that when the hour strikes that we shall again see those whose faces, forms and loving kindness we have been recalling from out the yawning years, we may go forth fearlessly and unafraid, sustained by the knowledge of a life worthilv lived and buoyed up by a faith founded upon the eternal rock of unselfishness. Address of Jesse E. Mickei. Today we look about us and see that nature has recovered from a deeo sleeo. The trees bring forth a new foliage that glistens in the brierht sunlight, and waves to and fro as the gentle zephyrs touch it. The little violets shoot forth their sweet scented blossoms, and the rose bud is almost ready to unfold its petals and gather the refreshing dew of the morning:. All things seem brighter. We come here today to do honor to the memory of our departed fellow workmen. We meet at the graves of men whose lives were spent in peaceful toil : whose davs were filled with many of the inci dent woes and joys that we ourselves are experiencing; and as we gather here today we know what the reward of these efforts must surelv be. As a rule, men do each other honor for acts of supreme virtue and heroism. In the stoud to whose memory we bow, are statesmen and war riors who have proven their sterling worth at crucial tests ; who in the time of crisis have demonstrated their ability to do things still we have a place in memory for those who have earned that most commendable of all commendations, that they have lived lives of prosperous productiveness and were fair to themselves and all man kind. It seems a rule in this social structure of ours that a man, to accmire the respect of his fellowmen, must, by super-human effort, right some ponderous wrong ; must display a brilliant, thrilling men tality or exhibit a reckless contempt for danger, or struggle withh grim death with apparent impunity. Yet tnere is a race oi nerucs for whom medals have never, been struck. They have never, bene fitted by an opportunity to make exhibition of the usual traits by which great men are known, nor have they in any manner come upon notoriety at'a time of public need by averting disaster. They have not needed a crisis to show their greatness, but through toil burdened vears have displayed more ennobling characteristics than may be found in the lives of a hundred heroes and have managed - ... A 1 , A 1 1 to keep things right that were nglit. as a legacy to us, mey nave left a condition of things in labor affairs more nearly perfect than waa at anv time considered possible. Posterity has greater assets for their havinsr lived. Their existence, though simple, was not aimless, and the Great Employer has used them for noble and glor ious purposes. They have worked and reared virtuous, God-fearing families, and before the Great White throne they can say they were fair with their fellow men. Gathered here to pay. our. respects to those who have finished life's battles, it would seem to. me that we might learn a valuable lesson. We come to offer prayer, sing a few songs which touch our sense of feeling and then scatter sweet-scented, flowers above the graves of departed friends and relatives, and feel that we have again shown a kind remembrance to our departed fellow workmen. What benefit can this all be to the body that lies beneath the flower strewn grave? The body is without form, the soul has departed, and Mother Earth has reclaimed her own. True, to those about us and present, the thought comes is life worth living? when death shall have separated the soul from the body, then do my friends honor me. My dear friends, how much nobler in the eye of God would we be were we to scatter words of encouragement to the downcast as he journeys through life. Of this there is too little done by all of us. ' ... Let us so act in our every day life that each succeeding day will make some one happier. By a few kind words to an erring one, you may be able to turn the downward tendency and thereby start him or her to lead a different life. We live in a world where nothing is sure. Today our friends are about us in the freshness and bloom of health and spirits ; tomor row we bend in anguish over their still forms ; and it is well if no bitter regrets mingle with the tears we shed upon their faces. Life is insecure, and the brightest and most promising of all our treas ures may, perhaps, soonest drop and fade. And when one dies, how- j anxious we are to do him homage. We speak of his virtues, we ex cuse his faults and spread the mantle of charity over his vices, which, when he 'lived, we had no patience with. If we only had, we might have won him to a better life. Had we exercised toward him a little of the forbearance and kindness with which we now speak of him, he had had fewer faults. How often his heart ached and cried out for human sympathy for our sympathy we may never know, ancf if we could, it is too late to undo the past, too late to soothe and benefit him. We may not take up the broken threads of the life that has gone and weave them into a web of hope and joy, but to ward those who are stilly with us, who have ears to hear, and hearts to throb with joy and grief, we may be generous and just, forgiving, loving and kind. Be especially kind to the erring ones. The world will deal harshly enough with them ; it is a rough world at the best. Sur round them with an 'atmosphere of kindness, and instill into their hearts noble feelings and principles while you may; for, sooner than you think, other and less holy influences will be brought to bear upon them, and then your regrets of your past opportunities will avail nothing. Do not keep your store of love and kindness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled by them. The things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes be fore they leave them. Let us learn to annoint our friends before hand for their burial. Post-mortem kindness do not cheer the bur dened spirit. Flowers on the casket cast no fragrance backward over the weary days. . Let us, then, in the sight of our Creator, humbly do honor to the memory of our departed fellow unionists. NULL&McCOY EXCLUSIVE SHOE STORE We carry a full and complete line of shoes.
