STAR OUT FOR BROWN.
Leading Republican Paper Bolts
I Nomination of Hutton.
The results of the republican pri
jmary held in this city yesterday make
:it practically certain that the candi
' dates for mayor at the coming election
i will be the men who contested for this
honor two years ago F. V. Brown"
i and A. H. Hutton. It was rather gen
1 eraily understood that under certain
. conditions Mr. Brown would not be a
: candidate again, the normal republi
can majority in Lincoln being large
and, all things considered, a demo
crat having little chance in this city
when the mere question of party poli
tics constituted the issue.
But it was also understood that, in
the event of Mr. Hutton's nomination
by the republicans, Mayor Brown
would accept a renomination at the
hands of the democrats, and this is
the thing that is almost sure to hap
pen -at the democratic city convention
a short time hence. It will be another
Brown-Hutton fight, with the chances
in favor of a second victory for Brown.
Admitting that he has not been su
premely right. at all times, it must
be confessed that Mr. Brown has given
Lincoln two years of good service..
While efforts are being made in cer
tain quarters to create the. impression
that the mayor is a saloon sympathiz
er and that he will be the saloon can
didate, those who are unprejudiced
know that he has done as much as
anyone else tor a strict supervision
over the local liquor traffic and that
he still stands for close regulation
and for a continuation of law and
order.
It is unfair to Mr. Brown to say
that he is the saloon candidate when,
according to statistics and " compari
sons, it is known that in excise mat
ters Lincoln is probably the best-gov-
erned city in the country. For this
condition the mayor and the members
of the excise board deserve the thanks
of the people of Lincoln, and with the
assurance that they intend to con
tinue the policy in force at this time
there is no reason why they should
not be kept where they are. The
mayor and the excisemen could not
afford to "ease up" in the matter of
strict regulation, and there is no rea
son to believe that they intend to.
The experience of cities without
number has demonstrated that one fol
lowing Lincoln's present plan, with
only a few saloons and these con
ducted in an orderly manner;' with
other evils controlled by the strict
hand of the police and with a general
policy by means of which the city is
the master in all things, is better
than the wide-open policy under which
licenses are cheapened, saloons multi
plied and evil-doing unrestrained. If
the present mayor and the present ex
cisemen will continue such a policy
as they undoubtedly will, then the peo
ple of Lincoln may well trust them
for two years more of public service,
Mayor Brown's re-election is de
manded by the business interests of
the city more than by any particular
class or element. The business men
are satisfied with his administration
They know that he Is no longer an
experiment and that now, in Lincoln's
period of greatest commercial and
building activity, a change would work
no good and, possibly, might result in
incalculable harm. This is not a po
litical question, for nine men of every
ten would hasten, if they could, the
day when municipal affairs could be
taken from a too strict adherence to
political lines and put upon the plane
of sound business.
Mr. Hutton. no doubt, is a man of
good intentions and honest purposes,
but if he suffered by comparison with
Mr. Brown two years ago, as to ex
perience and ability, he is surely at a
much greater disadvantage now, in the
of the two years' experience

TAFT, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
Known as "Injunction . Taft" a
Few
Years Ago When Federal Judge.
William H. Taft is looming up large
as a presidential possibility in l'.ius
. . - - . .
It is quite generally believed that ht
is President Roosevelt s hrst choice
for the presidential succession, and
his own actions are evidence that he
has the bee in his bonnet.
Perhaps, it will interest union men
to learn a few facts concerning Mr.
ians recora on me iauor question,
Twelve years ago he, was judge of the
United States circuit court in Cincin-
nati, and while acting in this capacity
became known as "Injunction Taft"
because of one of the most outrageous
and unjust injunctions ever issued
against workingmen. The case in
- - i
which he earned this sobriquet was an
outgrowth of the great American Rail
way Union strike in Chicago in 1894.
Frank Phelan, a member of the
American Railway Union, went from
Oregon to Cincinnati to take charge
of the union's affairs in that city. At
that time the Cincinnati Southern rail-
way was in the hands of a receiver.
The employes of the Cincinnati South
ern struck against being compelled to
haul Pullman cars and tied up the
road. Phelan was given charge of the
strike. Receiver Fenton went before
Judge Taft and applied for an injunc-
tion against Phelan and the strikers.
Judge Taft readily issued the injunc-
tion, which restrained Phelan "as anl
individual or in combination witn otn -
ers from inciting, encouraging, order-
ing or in any manner causing the
employes of the receiver of the Cin
cinnati Southern from quitting his em -
ploy." Within two days after the
issuing of the injunction Phelan was
arrested for contempt of court, and
sent to jail for six months. He was
denied the privilege of a trial by jury,
which is accorded to even the most
brutal murderer, and sentenced with-
out a hearing. Judge Taft used his
arbitrary power to the limit, and Pl)e-
lan was sentenced to jail for daring
to exercise his rights a3 an Am'ericau
citizen.
. William H. Taft is looming large as
a presidential candidate, but if he gets
the coveted nomination the ghost ofl
the Phelan case will rise up to haunt
hini every hour between the nomina-
tion and the close of the polls on elec
tion day.
THE LIABILITY ACT UPHELD.
United States District Judge Declares
It Constitutional.
Macon, Gad
March 25. United
States Judge Emory Speer today, in
a decision in the case of Lucy Snead
administratrix, against the Central of
Georgia Railway company, upheld the
constitutionality of . the employers' li-
ability act passed by the last congress
The decision is opposed to those of
United States Judge Evans at Louis-
ville and Judge McCall at Memphis,
who declared the act repugnant to
the constitution of the United States.
.Judge Speer declared that to com
mand, prohibit and to protect men en
gaged in the handling of commerce
whether interstate or foreign, is with
in the domain of national legislation.
Congress having the right to control
commerce on the high seas, as estab
lished by. the courts repeatedly, itsfol-
lows that it has the right to control
the same kind of commerce on land.

GCOD MORNING, DEFFENBAUGH!
There Are a Lot of Union Men in Lin
coln Who Remember.
Water Commissioner Deffenbaugh
will shortly retire to private life. Not
of his own violition, however.
He was shoved.
At the republican primaries last
Tuesday Mr. Deffenbaugh was de.
feated for re-nonimation by James Ty
ley, and thereby hangs a tale which
The Wage-worker has told before.
Mr. Deffenbaugh didn't propose that
the "d d union men of this town
should dictate to Elm whom he
should employ."
They didn't try. They merely bided
their time, and when the time came
they quietly discharged Mr. Deffen
baugh from their employ.
Ihe story is an old one. The un
ionists of the city objected to the
employment of a man named Crab-
tree as one of the city's engineers R
a water station. This oDiection was
well based. Crabtree joined the car
penters union several years ago. Be
fore he had been a member and paid
dues six months he fell from a scaffold
and met with injuries that laid him
up a long time. He had just bought
lumber with a view to building a home
While he was laid up his fellow union-
isis aonatea tneir services and per-
formed the' carpenter work on Cral:
tree's house, the wages of the stew
ard being paid by the union as a whole
I Within a few weeks after his recover
I Crabtree quit the Union and secured
work at one of the city pumping sta
tions, afterwards becoming an engin-
eer. He prospered, and as he pros
pered he forgot the men who came to
his assistance in his time of need. Tw
years ago Crabtree built a fine flat in
this city. Did he remember the union
men who helped him out? Not Crab
tree, rie employed scab carpenters
because he could get them cheaper
and work them longer hours.
Naturally, the union men resented
such base ingratitude. In an indirect
way they called Mr. Deffenbaugh's at-
tentiqn to the facts mid told him that
such a man was not worthy of recog
nition. Mr. Deffenbaugh couldn't see
I it that way. Then it was that he is
credited with having made the remark
that "the unions couldn't run him "
l ine union men didn t make any
threats. They didn't waste time in
useless denunciation. They merely
waited, and hustled while they waited.
J At last Tuesday they performed a lot
of very quiet but effective work, and
when the primary polls were closed
I they had the satisfaction of knowing
that Mr. Deffenbaugh had paid the
price of condoning about the rankest
exhibition of ingratitude ever given in
this section of the country,
The d d unions ' manage to pull
off a rattling good stunt every now and
then. Eh, Mr. Deffenbaugh?
THEM S OUR SENTIMENTS.
Labor Paper Pirates Receive a D
served Dressing Down,
"We find in our exchanges a lot of
good clippings credited to 'Exchange.
This is one paper which does not reach
our "editorial desk, and as we do hot
know where it is published, we take
this method of requesting that ths
Journal of Labor be put upon its mail
ing list." Atlanta Journal of Labor.
The Journal of Labor would , prob
ably have reserved its sarcasm had its
editor stopped to reflect that the use of
the credit "Exchange" is frequently
the only credit that can be given with
out doing an injustice.
The habit of some so-called labor
papers of pirating the best efforts of
others and publishing it as their own
has become so flagrant that an editor
who really wants to be honest in the
matter of giving credit does not dare
to give it to the sheet in which he finds
the article, lest he be found with
stolen goods in his possession. .
The editor of the Eastern Laborer
recalls one case in point in his own
experience which made a deep im-
pression on his mind. As editor of the
Trades Union News, he spent almost
an entire day in - verifying the facts
in an editorial article a quarter of
column in length, which absolutely
showed the boycott to be of American
origin antedating the revolution. With-
in two months he found the article

British Court Made a Quilier Pay His
Union Dues.
The labor unions of Great Britain
decided to enter the political arena.
Then the membership resolved to levy
per capita tax of a few cents per -
month to pay the campaign expenses
and the salaries of their candidates
for Parliament, as the members of ,
that body receive no pay. ,
Then one of the insect3 that infests r

shirk payment -and entered suit to J
recover what he had already paid, h
But the British courts are in no way ;
as prejudiced, toward labor unions as
the American tribe and they decided .
that Mr. Shirker ' must not only con
tinue to pay his dues, but pay the costs
of the suit as well. "
In the United States the judiciary
would have, lectured the union, or
dered it to refund the dues to the re-'
calcitrant member, while Eliot and
Day would have sung his praises. But
the British courts simply "soaked"
the costs on him and indirectly bade
him to be a man. Mine Workers
