GOOD UNION TALK
Straight From the Shoulder and From
a Business Concern.
People who skip the advertisements
often miss some mighty good reading
matter. The Wageworker is carrying
advertisement for R. L. McDonald
& Co., of St. Joseph, manufacturers of
Red Seal" and "Unicorn" shirts and
overhalls. Last weks' advertisement
read as follows :
"We are not selling UNION LA
BELS We do not ask you to buy RED
SEAL or UNICORX shirts because
they are the products of one of the
largest and oldest union manufac
tories in this country, operating the
most intelligent "free labor under the
most modern sanitary conditions.
"But we do feel that we have a right
to ask you to investigate and, If our
claims as to unequaled. intrinsic value
are substantiated, to favor our pro
ducts with your patronage, not only
in protest against the unfair stuff with
which the markets are teming, but in'
strict justice to yourself. Is this too
much to expect of union men?"
That's good straight talk from the
shoulder. People who employ union
labor have every right to expect the
patronage of union men and women.
Especially is this true when the pro
duct is equal to the best and
superior to any non-union .product on
the market. The R. L." McDonald Co
has employed union labor exclusively
ever since it engaged in business. Its
factory is a model in every respect.
It pays the best wage scale in the 'busi
ness. Its product has no superior,
price, and quality both considered.
And surely R. L. McDonald & Co..
have a right to expect the patronage of
trades unionists.
O. you ought to read the advertise
ments every week. Besides paying you
in dolars and cents it will pay you in
information.
TWO LITTLE ADS.
And Intelligent Printers Will Be Able
to Make a Speedy Choice.
There were two little "want ads" for
printers in Sunday's Journal. Here Is
the first one:
"WANTED Two job printers, Ne
braska Printing Co., Lincoln, Neb."
The Nebraska printery is an un
fair shop, and was struck by Lincoln
Typographical Union some time ago
when the management refused to sign
the eight-hour contract. Since then it
has been manned by half-baked work
men, and even these were hard to keep
under the conditions prevailing. The
other advertisement is as follows:
"WANTED Newspaper and ad man
by the McCook Tribune. Steady posi
tion: state wages wanted. When can
came."
This Is a fair situation. The Tribune
is a good newspaper and has a fine
job plant. McCook is a rattling good
town, and the job will be a good one
for any competent printer who wants
a country situation. . Fifteen dollars
a week In McCook Is far better than
$18 in Lincoln or Omaha.
TABLE DELICACIES
ALL SORTS OF GOOD THINGS TO
TcMPT THE APPETITE.
Beef Tea as It Should Be Made Hot
Water Sponge Cake Apricot Sher
bet Makes a Delicious
Dessert.
Beef Tea. Take a pound of good
steak, remove all the fat, wipe the
meat with a damp cloth, and cut it in
pieces about one inch square. Put
this in a glass fruit jar, pour over it
two cups of cold water, and salt, and
let it stand for half an hour. Into a
deep saucepan put several thicknesses
of newspaper and set the jar on this.
Pour water into the saucepan so that
it will rise to the same height as
the liquid inside the jar. Let the
water reach the simmering point, and
let it stand for two hours, then in
crease the heat a very little, and cook
a little longer. Pour off the liquid,
strain, add more salt if necessary, and
serve very hot.
Hot Water Sponge Sake. Beat the
yolks of three eggs until very - light.
Add one cup of sugar, beating con
stantly. Stir in a little at a time half
a cup of boiling water. Add one and
one-fourth cups of flour in which a
teaspoonf ul of baking powder has been
sifted, and a little salt. Lastly add the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff and a
teaspoonful of any preferred extract
for flavoring. Bake in a rather quick
oven and do not open the oven door
until the cake has been baked nearly
20 minutes.
Creamed Macaroni with Cheese.
Break up enough macaroni into inch
pieces to fill a cup. Put it Into boil
ing salted water, and let it cook- until
tender, which should take about 20
minutes. Turn into a colander and let
the cold water from the faucet run
through it until the pieces do not
stick together. Make a white sauce,
using three tablespoons of butter, one
and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour,
one and one-fourth cups of milk, and
salt to taste. When nearly cooked stir
in half a cupful of grated cheese.
When the cheese is melted turn the
sauee over the macaroni, mixing it
carefully. Turn Into a buttered bak
ing dish, cover with cracker crumbs,
and dot the crumbs with butter. Cook
in a hot oven until the crumbs are
brown.
Fruit Filling for Cake.a-Cook togeth
er in boiling water half a cup of seed
ed raisins and half as many candied
cherries, until the fruit plumps out
nicely. Turn out all the water, chop
the fruit, season with lemon juice, and
then return to the liquid in which the
fruit was boiled and add enough pow
dered sugar to make the mixture
spread easily and keep stiff. - '
Apricot Sherbet. Select a good
brand of canned apricots and re
move the fruit from the sirup. With
a sharp knife remove all the skin from
the fruit and cut the apricots In small
pieces. Return the fruit to the sirup,
add two cups of sugar and a little less
than a quart of water. Stir well to
gether and freeze. Serve in sherbet
glasses and pass sponge cake with it,
.unless it is used between the meat
and salad or game course.
Crabapple Jelly. To change the
sometimes insipid taste of crabapple
jelly, cook a small, bag of mixed spice
In the jui. It will give a fine flavor
and Is a delightful change to serve
with meat.
To Can Beets.
small Deets are tne best for can
ning. Wash as for present use, and
leave an inch stalk at top to prevent
bleeding. Boil in slightly salted wa
ter; peel as for table. Have ready in
a neighboring saucepan enough cider
vinegar to cover the beets. You must
use your own judgment as to quality.
To each quart of vinegar add two ta
blespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of
strained onion juice and a teaspoonful
each of pepper and salt Bring the
vinegar to the bail. Pack the beets
while hot into heated cans and cover
with the vinegar from the boiling
saucepan.
When Fliea Come.
To prevent flies from settling on pic
ture frames and chandeliers, boll three
or four onions in a pint of water and
apply the water with a soft brush-
In many city homes or where houses
are to be closed for the summer com
mon unbleached cheesecloth is used
to protect pictures and frames , from
flies. Cut a piece of cloth .large
enough to go all around the picture.
Let the picture face down on this, put
the cloth around and baste up at the
back. A glazed tarletan that Is trans
parent makes a still better covering.
About the Garden.
Seedlings should never be taken di
rect from the greenhouse to the gar
den. You should harden them off
gradually by putting the boxes out of
doors whenever the weather is suit
able during the daytime, says Home
Chat.
A few days of such airing makes
all the little plants sturdy and Inde
pendent, so that when they are care
fully transferred from the boxes to
the flower beds they suffer no shock
from the sudden change.
Gingered Pears.
Four pounds pears, three pounds
sugar, one gill water, two lemons cut
in rings, one-half ounce ginger root.
Have the pears a little green, cut in
strips and cook with the other ingre
dients until the pear is transparent.
Place in jars while not, nil to over
flowing and quickly screw on the tops.
Invert the jars as a final test as to
air tightness and tighten further If
necessary.

JUDGE J. A. WILLIAMS ON STATE
CONTROL.
SPEAKS AT PALMYRA, NEB.
Advocates State Control of Inter-State
Business, and Favors Local Dis
tance .. Rates Similar to
the Iowa System.'
Judge J. A. Williams, one of the
three members of the Nebraska Rail
way commission, recently spoke at
Palmyra, Neb., on the question of rail
road -regulation. In part, Mr. Williams
said:
"It is becoming the settled convic
tion of the thinking citizens' of this
country that the railroad business
must be more and more regulated by
the people If justice is to be done.
There must be more rigid regulation of
Interstate. traffic by the congress of the
United States and regulation of the
Inter state traffic, that is, traffic that
begins and ends within the state by
the people through their legislature
and bodies to which the legislature
delegates powers, as for example, the
railroad commissions. The railroad
company is a creature of the state.
Having been created 'by the state It Is
naturally and rightfully under the con
trol of the state. It is created fpr a
public service, and so that It may be
able to serve the most people it Is
given the right to have land con
demned through which to run Its
tracks. Being "given such en extra
ordinary right it is bound to treat all
people alike and treat them all fairly
and justly. It is bound to serve the
poor man as faithfully as it serves
the rich man and to be as thoughtful
of the safety and rights of an orphan
child as it is of the safety and rights
of the' most prominent man in the
state. i
"We are going to try to see to It
that the managers of these public ser
vice corporations shall be made te
understand that in defying law they
are no better than the ignorant,
bloody-handed anarchist, and that
from a moral standpoint they " are'
held to a vastly greater responsibility
to the people than are the vicious,
villlans who place obstructions on tie
tracks and blow up honest men.
"We want to see to it that all
communities shall be treate.d alike so
far as it can possibly be done and that
the different lines of railroads in this
state shall provide mutual connections
so that the greatest number of peo
ple can be served with the least de
lay and the least, cost consistent with
just and reasonable compensation for
the service rendered. A great many
people believe that there . is na good
reason why Nebraska should not have
an adjustment of local distance rates
similar to the adjustment reached in
Iowa, Ilylinois and other states. And
as a complete refutation of the state
ment that the local distance rate sys
tern of Iowa has retarded the progress
of that state it may be said that from
1890 to 1900 the population of Iowa in
creased 16 per "cent, while during the
same period Nebraska increased only
.7 of 1 per cent. -And furthermore a
good many people are beginning to
think that the people of one town
should have the . same rate for. the
same distance and same material as
any other town in the state.
"We want men and women with.
PRICE, QUALITY.
STYLE
When you find a clothing house
that can give you satisfaction in these
three things stay by it because there's
only a few of us.
In many clothing houses if the
price is right the style and quality ar
not right: and in others if the style
and quality are right the price is too
high.
Our ability to give satisfaction in
all three of these essentials is the
oecret of the great volume of business
we do.
If you have not yet tried one of
our suits come in and look us over.
We Save You
character so strong and reliab'le that
the pen of the libeller can not be made
sharp enough or long enough to reach
the heart of their life. We want men
and women so truly encased with, pub
lic confidence that' the tongue of the
slanderer can . not be found keen
enough or long enough to reach them
where they live. I think we have now
in all departments and we must al
ways try to have as representatives of
the people, men who are so strong and
independent that they can look - the
flatterer In the eye and shame him
from his wicked folly; who are so
strong and independent that they can
look upon a million or a billion dollars
as nothing more than, a heap of rub
bish when interposed between them
and duty. Until a man can do that,
admidst the calls or jeers of a million
men, and until he can stand alone for
duty against all the devils of earth and
hell, if need be, he is not yet fit for
public office.
"I think that there is a good deal of
misapprehension as to what our great
president thinks in regard to the part
general government should take In the
regulation of our railroad affairs. In
his Memorial Day address I fail to find
any warrant for the belief that he in
tends to urge the assumption by con
gress of the control of the transporta
tion business in the states. A great
many most excellent citizens seem to
think that that is what the president
is tending towards. Notwithstanding
the fact that the railroad magnates are
trying to make it appear that the presi
dent is with them in their efforts to
take control of the railroads from the
states of the Union still we do not be
lieve for a moment that the president
contemplates any such revolutionary
movement. v
"The history of every state that has
had a strong and loyal commission
under a vigorous law enacted by the
people In the Interest of all the people
shows that for correcting abuses, se
curing justice to rich and poor alike.
and for - restraining the arrogance of
great bodies ei capitalists, unhamper
ed by a soul, there has never been de
vised anything like the executive body
known as tbe state railway commis
sion the 'body that' should stand al
ways between power om one hand andl
weakness on the other and, from the
vantage ground of independence as
the representative of all the people,
hand out justice to both. "With no am
bition except to serve the public it
Should be able to stand like adamant
to the presence of personal threats
or danger and stand unmoved as the
mountain in the presence of influences
that -would foster faithless 'conduct.
It should stand always for a square
deal between the greatest corporation
and the humblest citizen. If a corpora
tion shows a disposition to do. right
it should be given credit for its stand.
If corporations or citizens do wrong
the law should be enforced.
Railroads Prefer Federal Cburt.
The Union Pacific railroad will at
tempt to remove the injunction suit of
the Nebraska railway commission ' to
the federal court. It remains for
Judge T. C. Munger of the federal
court to say whether or not his court
has jurisdiction or whether the suit
shall be tried In the Nebraska supreme
court.' In its efforts to cause this re
moval the Union Pacific has 'been
joined by the Burlington and the Rock
Island.;: The formal request for a,
transfer filed in the snpreem court is
considered merely a matter of cour
tesy to that court, as the law permits
the roads to go to the federal court
without permission by a mere filing
of a transcript' of the case with, the
federal court. Then the attorney gen
eral can move to remand to the state
Money
"Just Around The Corner',
court. Attorney General W. T. Thomp
son has found a law which indicates
to his mind that if the federal court
is in doubt about jurisdiction, the suit
shall be remanded to the state court.
He is of the opinion that all of the
rights of the state will be protected
in any event. ; . r
The supreme court received the ap
plication of the Union Pacific for re
moval, together with a bond,- but de
cided to make no order whatever.
This action of, the court will be fol
lowed by the filing of a transcript In
the .federal court at Lincoln Monday.
Attorney Edson Rich of the Union
Pacific said he believed the transcript
would be ready by Monday. Attorney
General Thompson wUl resist the
movement and move to remand to the
supreme , court. ' ,
The suit is an v Injunction suit insti
tuted by the attorney general and the
Nebraska railway commission to pre
vent the railroads from violating the
two-cent . fare law, the commodity
If reight law, the anti-pass law and
from defying orders issued by the
railway commission. , No order of in
junction has been asked for or issued
from the supreme court. Attorney
General Thompson '- was content to
wait a while after he had filed his
suit and had thus given the state juris-'
diction instead of waiting for the
roads to obtain an injunction in the
federal courts and thus putting the
state on the defensive.
Accepts Reduced Rate.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railroad has notified the
Nebraska railway commission that
it has prepared a schedule of rates
on certain commodities 15 - per cent
les3 than the rates In force on that
road January 1, to go Into force July 5.
This means that this road will willing
ly comply with the commodity maxi
mum rate law passed, by the last legis
lature. This corporation and ' the
Northwestern ' road being under the
control of the same corporation It Is
believed that the Northwestern road
will Issue a similar notice of compli
ance.' ' . ! ,
Found in Contempt.
For filing a false and mutilated rec
ord Attorney William R. Bwtler 5f
O'Neill was held by the supreme court
to be guilty of contempt of court-; He
was let off with the payment pf costs
in the proceedings for contempt,
amounting to S5.10. Chief Justice

Ready to Receive Bids..-'
Adjutant General Culver. Is now
ready to receive bids from towns for
the annual state encampment of the
guard which will be held the first
part of August. Nebraska guardsmen
will send a team of- eighteen to the
national shoot, to be held at Camp
Perry, in Ottawa county, Ohio; on
Lake Erie.
Adjutant General In View.
Inasmuch as Adjutant General J. H.
Culver, of the Nebraska national
guards, has moved to Milford, rumors
are. rife that Charles F. Schwa rz of
Lincoln can have the position of ad
jutant general if he desires to accept
it. Captain Schwarz commanded the
Lincoln company of volunteers in the
Third Nebraska regiment during the
Spanish-American war and Governor
Sheldon served as captain of a Cass
county company in the same regiment.
A school of Instruction for the Ne
braska national guards will be held in
Lincoln, July 8 to 11. Captain M. D.
Cronin of the Twenty-fifth United
States infantry, who was the instruc
tor last year, will again take that position.
