We are out of the high rent district and it makes

Vote for Men Who Are Friends
the Enemy Quick!
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.
