ish and durable. We offer them at prices that must
attract attention because of the extra values for the money

THE PRINTERS
Saying Little About St. Louis, But
Thinking Some Warm Thoughts
Local printers are not saying much
about the St. Louis matter, but they
are thinking some thoughts warm
enough to cause "hot squirts." St.
Louis was a party to the recent six
city convention and signed an iron
clad agreement not to enter into any
contract before submitting It to the
executive board and . securing its ap
proval. Two or three weeks later the
St. Louis bunch play Benedict Ar
nold. The mean feature about it is
that it was in St. Louis a year ago
that the eight-hour law was. formally
declared in effect, and the St. Louis
fellows were shouting themselves
hoarse in approval. Undoubtedly
there will be an investigation, and it
may develop that several "leaders"
who were figuring on investing in real
estate will come to another conclusion
very suddenly.
"Billy" Wright took out, his travel
ing card early this week, and is head
ed for Denver. Mrs. Wright is now in
the mountain city in search of health,
and "Billy" wants to be in the immed
iate neighborhood. He has been print
ing in Lincoln for so long that the
old town will seem unfamiliar without
him. However he left a reminder be
hind him a fragrant pipe which has
been suitably inscribed and suspend-;
ed upon the inner walls of the Star
ad room.
Arthur Bowman, an expert operator
and a young traveler of renown, has
been .hitting the . keys for "Doc"
Righter for the past week. More
years ago than the editor cares to
recall, Bowman was hustling galleys
on the World-Herald, while the writer
was chasing the elusive police court
item for the- same paper.
Ollie Mickel is taking a vacation
and ' is somewhere else doing things
calculated to make him forget the key
board. H. W. McQuitty is assisting in the
office of the Righter Linotype Compo
sition company.
T. Jefferson Dunn is waiting for
the Journal to get things squared
around in the machine room before
resuming the task of learning how to
manipulate one of Otto Mergenthal
er's contraptions, .and in the mean
while is helping out in the Independ
ent job shop. The Independent is get
ting out a handsome advertising souv
enir program of the Railroad Brother
hoods' picnic at Seward on July 4.
Jimmie Leaden's farm is looking
fine so he says. His only trouble Is
that he can not prevail upon his po
tato vines to climb (the handsome
trellis he erected for their benefit. He
is of the opinion that the seedsman
sold him the wrong kind of potato
seed.
Let the. printers bear in mind that
the next social of Capital Auxiliary

have heard the address delivered by
Colonel McCullough, managing editor
of the Omaha Bee, at the C. L. U.
hall Tuesday evening, June 13. It
was brimful of unanswerable facts
and. logic, and was thoroughly en
joyed by those present.
Union men should take notice that
the porch being built by A. M. Davis
at his residence, Seventeenth and K,
is being built by non-union men un
der unfair conditions. Evidently Mr.
Davis does not care to patronize un

want furniture should remember this
fact
Also remember that when you want
a physician that Dr. McLeod's work is
unfair.

C. E. Woodard, one of the old vete
ran unionists of Lincoln, but who has
become a much traveling member, has
just returned from the south, where
he worked in Texarkana, Houston, St.
Charles, New Orleans, Mobile and
Memphis. He will remain a while if
he can content himself with the poor
wages Lincoln carpenters receive,
compared with other towns of equal
population.
The revised trade rules were adopt
ed at the meeting June 6. If approved
by the general president, no member
will work on any job where journey

actual necessity, where overtime is

A labor exchange complains of the
"card man" who stands on the corner
and knocks on the labor paper. Our
esteemed contemporary is quite too
sensitive. The labor editor and labor
paper that are not regularly and prop
erly knocked are those reposing peace
fully in the cemetery. It is the knock
er on the labor paper who gives it the
only mouth advertisement it gets, and
we protest against any movement that
would take from the labor paper its
best advertising. We simply would die
of rot if we were not accused of being
a "labor exploiter," "grafter," or
"fakir" at least once a week, and we
would scarcely know what to do if we
were not accused of having something
up our sleeve to hornswaggle some
body each week. Youngstbwn Advocate.
THE POETRY OF PERCENT
(At the annual banquet of Groups
One and Two, Nebraska Bankers' As
sociation, Dr. P. L. Hall, toastmaster,
the following response was made to
the toast, "The Poetry of Percent.")
Mr. Toastmaster and "Brother Bank
ers:" I am deeply grateful for an
opportunity to meet bankers in a new
relation; to be able to transact busi
uess with you at a banquet board in
stead of a desk, and to be permitted
to say my say without prefacing it
with any hard luck story or roseate
dreams of what I will be able to make
if only I can have the favor of an
"accommodation." Indeed, my ex
perience with bankers has heretofore
been characterized with a solemn
sameness that has become woefully
monotonous. The damnable reitera
tion of the familiar phrase, "Ninety
days after date I promise to pay,"
etc., etc., has come to grate upon my
sensitive feelings, and I leave it to any
fair-minded gentleman present and
you are all fair-minded if it is not
the sublimity of sarcasm on the part
of my good friend, Dr. Hall, to as
sign to me, who stands at the other
end of the percentage table from you,
the tooic of "The Poetry of Percent."
There must certainly be some
poetry about percent, for poetry has
feet, and experience leads me to be
lieve that percent must also have feet,
for how else could the blamed thing
travel upward and onward so fast?
If ability to travel swiftly increases
in ratio with the number of feet pos
sessed by the traveler, then indeed
must percent be able to give a thousand-legged
worm cards and spades
and big casino.
Some things reminds us of other
things, because they are so different.
Perhaps that is the reason that tie
toastmaster happened to think of
poetry while thinking of banking. The
business world depends in vast meas
ure upon the banking business, but
sad and unlovely indeed would this
old world be were it not for the poets
of yesterday and today. Great as the
good may be that your profession has
conferred upon the world, I leave it
to you if the Immortal songs of the
greatest poet the world has ever
known, with their wealth of faith i-nd
hope and love and kindness have not
wrought greater blessings; for in the
unsurpassed songs of David the Min
strel boy we soar aloft on the wings
of the spirit, forgetting the world and
its sordid cares, and get a glimpse be
yond the pearly gates where care
and sorrow are forgotten, and all is
joy and peace.
Speaking of Biblical characters re
minds me of something. I never heard
of any poets being scourged from the
temple.
Two little girls, chancing to become
neighbors, began forming an acquain
tance after the manner peculiar to
childhood.
"My papa is a professional man,"
boasted one.
"Huh, my papa is a professional
man, too," retorted the other.
"Well, what is your papa?"
"My papa is a banker. What is
your papa?"
"My papa is a poet."
"Huh," retorted the banker's, daugh
ter, "that ain't a profession it's a
disease."
Poetry may be either sad or joyful
generally the former. It's usually
according to how the writer thereof
looks upon the world. If the world
looks right the poetry will usually ie
bright, and vice versa. At any rate
the poet's intentions will be honor
able, however much we may depre
cate his efforts. It all depends upon
the point of view. I might be able
to find niore poetry in percent if I
could only look at it from your view
point. There must, however, be some
poetry in percent, for doth not Byron
say
"There's music in the sighing of a
reed ; '
There's music in the gushing of a rill;
There's music In all things, if men
had ears;
Their earth is but an echo of the
spheres."
Perhaps I might catch more of the
poetry of percent if I could find an
advantageous spot upon which to
stand and strain my listening ears.
Just behind the bronzed barred and
ornamented window Is, I imagine, the
best vantage ground for that kind of
a concert.
But there is, my friends, poetry in
all that is honest and useful. There is
poetry in the lovelight that shines in
the eyes of those dear to us. There ,
is poetry in the sweat and toil that
produces tUe daily bread for loved
ones. There i; poetry in every pro
fession and pursuit that has for its
ultimate aim and end something high
er and nobler than sordid selfishness.
There is poetry in everything about
us if only we attune our ears to hear
instead of stopping them up. with the
cotton of indifference and bending our
energies to satisfying the greed for
gain that has nothing better behind
it than the mere love of possession.
I would rather be the starved poet
in the garret than to be the slave of
greed for gold. The man who owns
money may be happy the man who is
owned by his money can never be.
For the man owned by money there
is no poetry in life, and the life with
out poesy and music is not worth the
living.
There's rhythm and rhyme in the
world's busy marts
If only we're striving to mind : it.
And poverty stricken indeed are the
hearts
That never endeavor to find it.
There's music in work of the hand or
the brain.
And soma of the sweetest that I
know .
Is found in the gleesome and gladsome
refrain
In the rhythm and rhyme of the
"rhino."
But solemn and sad doth the music
become ,
When tuned to mere love of pos
session. It freezes the heart till It's pulseless
and dumb
And halts all real business progres
sion. But tuned to the love of our homes
and our wives
We watch the old dollar mark sign
grow, .
A-d catch laughter and love as the
joy1 of our lives
In the rhythm and rhyme of the
"rhino."
The jangle of coin that is selfishly won
. And used to the harm of a neighbor
Will never to blest in the work it hs
done,
Or bring sweet reward for its labor.
But honestly won and as honestly
spent
Its music will ring out so fine-o
That the old world will smile in the
peace of content
At the rhythm and rhyme of the
, "rhino."
Puzzled
"I called on our new neighbor, Mrs.
Nurich, this afternoon, and ever since
I came home I have been wonder
ing." "What about?"
"I smelled gasoline the minute I en
tered the house, and I've been wonder-,
ing whetheu Mrs. Nurich had just re
turned from an auto ride or whether
she had been cleaning her gloves."
