tiade is organized and the farmers
union is a tower of strength. And the
result is that the constitution of this
new state safeguards labor better than
the statutes of any other state. It was
accomplished by working unitedly at
the polls.

Fourth of July. Will Lincoln equal that
record before another Fourth of July?
Perhaps the motormen and comlac

FUNSTON THE FURIOUS.
General Fredrick Funston has been
bloviating again About every so often
this millitary maggot swells up and
blows off at the mouth, thus afford
ing merriment for the nation and great
satisfaction to the exaggerated ego
of Funston.
Funston is in command of the troops
stationed at the Presidia. San Francis
co. The committee of citizens having
in charge the matter of celebrating the
Fourth of July sent Funston a courte
ous note asking him to aid in the cele
bration by parading the troops. The
shoulder-strapped specimen of a swell-
headed simian replied by saying that
he would not parade his men before
"an unwhipped mob."
And that isn't all that Fredrick Fun
ston wouldn't do, either. He wouldn't
open his mouth to give credit to a com
rade who performed the deeds which
Funston received credit for. He pre
ferred to keep his mouth shut then and
profit by the valor of a better man.
He wouldn't dare to measure himself
alongside the Arab who is too much of
a man to betray his host after partak
ing of his bread and salt.
Funjtonis .aclxeap.-screw nonenity
whtf-profited by'the readiness of news
paper . "string fiends" to satisfy the
cravings of the newspaper reading pub
lic by exploiting 'Funston. And after
taking to himself credit for things he
never did, Funston won his shoulder
straps by betraying a man who trusted
him and whose only offence was In
loving liberty well enough to fight for
it. And when Funston was made a
brigadier general, jumping over the
heads of two hundred better men and
soldiers, it swelled his head up so
much he had to use a stepladder to put
on his chapeau.
"Unwhipped mob," indeed! That
"mob" contains a thousand better men
than Fredrick Funston-better men
physically, mentally, morally and
every other way men who would
scorn to profit at the expense of a
comrade and who never would grow so
small as to betray a trust in order to
personally profit thereby.
When such men as this bloviating
imbecility are given important com
mands In the United States army is it
any wonder that djesertations grow in
number and the discipline and morale
of the troops fall to a low ebb?

UNION MADE STUFF.

Well Met.
By accident the Strange Shades met
upon the Plutonian shores and natural
ly struck up a conservation. -
"What's new . where we came from?'!
queried one. t.
"I see where they have caught a lot
of those union labor fellows with the
goods on 'em," said the other.
"Is that so? Well, that's good! It
will mean the death blow to the at
tempts of union labor men to act po
litically."
"That's what it will. By the way who
are you?"
O, I'm a republican grafter from
Pennsylvania. You ought to have seen
the way I skinned 'em on that state
house graft. But who are you?"
"O, I'm a Tammy democrat from
New York, and I guess we about kept
up with you Pennsylvania republicans
when we came to making the dear peo
ple pay the freight."
Shaking hands enthusiastically the
Shades, strangers no longer, went mer
rily arm in arm down the banks of the
Styx.
Of Course.
"I am very fond of the workingman,'
remarked DeGouge, the great capital
ist.
Being somewhat surprised at this we
could not help inquiring what reason
he had for being fond of the toilers.'
"Why," he replied, "I owe everything
I have to him."
"And how is that?" we queried.
"Because he made it all for me, and
has been content to take less than one-
tenth of it for his trouble. Why
shouldn't I be fond of him?" .
And we acknowledged that we could
see no reason why he should not.
"Waggerly is the most consistent
union man I know."
"Well, what's the answer?"
"When the stork brought him tha
new baby Waggerly wouldn't receive it
until the stork showed the label on its
bill."

A LITTLE STRIKE.
Lincoln Calm Disturbed by a Little
Industrial Flurry.
The first strike in Lincoln in more
than two years occured the first of
the week. It was a strike of unorgan
ized workman, too, and it failed to se
cure the desired results. Some eight
een laborers employed by the Lincoln
Gas Co., after agreeing among them
selves, Btruck to enforce a demand for
an increase of 25 cents a day. The
company refused to come across, and
six or eight of the strikers deserted
and returned to work.
