Dr. Winnett is before the public as
a candidate for railroad commissioner.
Claiming a clear and untrammeled re

from active business. Let us see: He
has served as mayor of Lincoln four
years and has shown great executive
ability. There was a general house
cleaning on the "reservation," In fact
vice was not bo rampant on the "res
ervation" as before, but you could find
numerous women parading the streets

"CHRISTIAN SOCIALISTS."
Unwarranted Use of a Name by a
Purely Political Party.
There are men who call themselves
"Christian Socialists." As the social
ists insist that their system is purely
a political or an economic system, It
would seem that there is as much jus
tification for you and me to call our
selves "Christian republicans," or
"Christian democrats."
The Christian man who says that he
is a Christian socialist means to place
the emphasis upon the word "Chris
tian," while the socialist who is Inter
ested in securing his vote thinks only
of the word "socialist." Meanwhile,
socialism is given the credit for the
"Christian" socialist's Christianity,
which gives the party a dignity that it
hardly deserves. Indeed, the dignity
sometimes becomes quite an embar
rassment to some of its leaders.
As Christianity Is not a political
party, nor, primarily, an economic sys
tem, it can hardly be compared to so
cialism as such. It Is true that the
principles of Christianity applied to
human society create political parties
and economic systems, but Christianity
is the motive power and not the ma
chine itself. Needless to say, other
political parties have been Influenced
by these principles, and Christian men

in these parties have been just as de
voted to the principles of Christianity
as are the men who call themselves
Christian socialists, so that the claim
that socialism is the only practical ex
pression of Christianity, seems to be
rather egotistical.
It must be conceded that socialism
hasn't a monopoly of the high aims and
purposes for which Christianity stands.
Perhaps it is because there is so much
in socialism that is not Christian, that
the Christian men in the movement
find it necessary ta label themselves
"Christian."
I have no quarrel with the socialist.
If he is perfectly honest in his convic
tions, he has my respect. But I do
protest against the assertion that the
Christian socialist is the only kind of
a Christian that has a big, broad sym
pathy for the masses of the people. As
a matter of fact, the mighty movement
in behalf of the people inaugurated by
the church have been started and push
ed along by men who have not thought
it necessary to proclaim themselves as
others than just plain "Christians."
CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Gets Busy with Labor Day Prepara
tions and Other Things.
The Central Labor Union met Tues
day evening, and after a long and
tedious jangle over nothing in particu
lar, proceeded to take some definite
action concerning Labor Day. It was
decided that it would be best for the
central body to exercise a supervisory
authority over the general committee,
and George Bush was ' authorized to
call the committee together as soon as
possible and start things.
Several new delegates were obligat
ed during the evening, and the trades
reports were all good. The meeting
was th largest for several months.
Collis Lovely, vice president of the
Boot and Shoe Workers' International
Union, was present and made a rous
ing talk.
SPEED THE DAY I
Organized labor is awakening to the
fact that it has the power, and after

who will realize what a power we are.

fight the battles for our rights. The
next time organized labor petitions

LABOR'S CALL TO ARMS
(Continued from Page 1.)
therewith we hope, and have the right
to expect, to arouse the citizenship of
our common country, interested in
good government, to the apathy or
hostility of the party in power to the
real interests of the people, so that
men ' more honest, faithful and pro
gressive may be elected as the peo
ple's representatives.
"If it has come to a condition in this,
the greatest and wealthiest nation on
earth, that the almighty dollar is to be
worshiped to an extent of forgetting
principle, conscience, uprightness and
justice, the time has arrived for labor
and its friends to raise their voices In
condemnation of such degeneracy, and
to invite all reform forces to join with
it in relegating indifference to the peo
ple's interests, corruption and graft to
political oblivion; to raise the stand
ard of legislation by the election of
sincere, ' progressive and honest men
who, while worshiping money less, will
honor conscience, justice and human
ity more.
"We recommend that central bodies
and local unions proceed without delay
by the election of delegates to meet in
conference," or convention, to formu
late . plans to further the interests of
this movement, and In accordance with
the plan herein outlined at the proper
time and in the proper manner nomi
nate candidates who will unquestion
ably stand for the enactment into law
of labor and progressive measures.
"Wherever both parties ignore la
bor's legislative demands a straight
labor candidate should be nominated,
so that honest men may have the op
portunity in exercising their franchise
to vote according to their conscience
instead of being compelled to either
refrain from voting or to vote for the
candidate and the party they must In
their innermost souls despise.
"Where a congressman or state leg
islator has proved himself a true
friend to the rights of labor he should
be supported and no candidate nomi
nated against him.
"This movement must not degener
ate Into a scramble for office. It should
be a determined effort, free, absolutely
from partisanship of every name and
character, to secure the legislation we
deem necessary and essential to the
welfare and happiness of all our peo
ple. As the present objects of this
movement are purely in the line of
legislation, all efforts should be con
centrated upon the election of mem
bers of congress and the various state
legislatures.
"To make, this our movement the
most effective the utmost care should
be taken to nominate only such union
men whose known intelligence, hon
esty and faithfulness are conspicuous.
They should be nominated as straight
labor representatives and stand and be
supported as such by union men and
their friends and sympathizers, Irre
spective of previous political affilia
tion. - "Wherever it Is apparent that an en

"AH observers agree that the cam
paign of our fellow workmen of Great
Britain has had a wholesome effect
upon the government, as well as the
interests of its wage-earners, and the
people generally of that country. In
the last British election fifty-four trade
unionists were elected to parliament.
If the British workmen with their lim
ited franchise accomplished so much
by their united action, what may we
in the United States not do with uni
versal suffrage.
"Those earnestly engaged in our
movement must, we repeat, be guided
by the fact that the principles to?
which we stand must be primary con
sideration, and office secondary. We
ask our fellow workers and friends to
respond to this call, and to make of it
a popular uprising of honest men, and
to see to it that the best, most con
scientious men of labor or their sup
porters' are chosen as their representa
tives. Advantages Won by Sacrifices.
"Whatever vantage ground or im
proved conditions have come to the
workers of our country were not
brought to them on silver platters;
they are the result of their better or
ganization and their higher intelli
gence; of the sacrifices they have
made and the industrial battle scars
of many contests. The progress of the
toilers has not been due to kindness
or consideration at the hands of the
powers that be, but achieved In spite
of the combined bitter hostility of
mendacious greed, corporate corrup
tion, legislative antagonism and judi
cial usurpation.
"Labor men of America, assert your
rights, and in addition to strengthen
ing your faith and loyalty to your or
ganization on the economic field, ex
ercise your full rights of citizenship in
the use of your ballot. Elect honest
men to congress and to other halls of
legislation, and by so doing you will
more completely and fully carry out
your obligations as union men, and
more than ever merit the respect of
your fellow citizens.
"Labor demands a distinctive and
larger share in the governmental af
fairs of our country; it demands jus
tice; it will be satisfied with nothing
less. Fraternally yours,
