Citizens Railway Company
What does this mean? It means just this. That this company has expended more
than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of Lincoln money in the past twelve
months bettering the street car facilities of this city and by so doing have been the means
of placing in cold storage many of the antiquated street cars formerly used on lines not con
trolled by us, as well as causing noticeable improvements in other directions.
Nearly Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($18,000.00) per month, or almost Six Hundred
Dollars ($600.00) per day for every day during the past year has been invested in permanent
street car improvements by this company in the city of Lincoln and we are pleased to be
able to say that the public has substantially manifested their appreciation of our efforts and
by a continuation of the patronage that we have enjoyed since the opening of the various
lines now giving service to our citizens, and with the further co-operation of the public,
we will make or cause to be made other such permanent improvements that will give our peo
ple as good a street car system as may be found in any city of this size in the nUited States.
We will venture the statement, notwithstanding the opposition displayed by, some
people interested in another street railway company, that within the next twelve months an
interchangeable transfer on all lines of the city will be in effect as well as the sale of six
tickets for 25 cents, which may be purchased of conductors on the cars and with ten school
tickets for a quarter. ' "
We need the further support of all loyal citizens of this city in order that we may
carry on this work, and with it there is no doubt; but what the results will be satisfactory to
everyone who has the best interests of 'the city at heart. Glance at the list of stockholders
of this company and see if they are not, in your opinion representative business men whose
every effort would be directed in further development of the city.

The members of the Bar Associa
tion who prostituted that organization
to their own selfish ends are begin
ning to realize that they have made
a grevious mistake. It is being im
pressed upon their minds that t'he pub
lic, which ,is usually fair-minded, re
sents the attempt of a few lawyers
to vent their personal spleen and at
the same time dictate the judicial
nominees. A very little investigation
will bear out the statement that the
men responsible for the Bar Associa
tion nominations were not actuated by
desire to make the best possible se
lections, but by a desire to prevent
one or two candidates from being con
sidered. In short the Bar Association
did not nominate Frost, Cornish and
Tuttle because the association loved
them more, but because the associa
tion loved a couple of other candidates
much less. , '
A majority of the lawyers who at
tended that meeting are republicans
and most of them love to class them
selves as"Roossvelt republicans." Now
if there is anything that Roosevelt
Stands for with all his heart and
soul, it is the "square deal," and for
men who claim to be Roosevelt repub
licans to frame up such an unfair, un-
through the Bar Association conven
tion Is little short of a downright in
sult to the president.
The Wageworker reiterates that it
has nothing to say against the legal
ability or judicial fairness ,of either
Judge Frost or Judge Cornish. But
those two gentlemen did not add any
thing to their reputations as jurists
and fair-minded citizens by accept
ing the nominations handed out by a
coterie of lawyers Vho used them to
vent their own spleen. f
The mere fact that a man is a law
yer does not endow him with omni
potence, omniprescience or infallibility
His sheepskin does not confer upon
him the right to select the candidates
for judicial positions. And in view of
the primary law, for which most citi
zens fought, it was the acme of impu-
pHence aud insolence for the lawyers
to meet and arrogate to themselves
the right to even suggest who the ju
dicial candidates should be. Lawyers
have no more Interest in the judiciary
than other citizens.
When- Judge Waters refused to al
low his name to go before that Bar
Association convention he made a man
ly and independent stand. He dem
onstrated that he was perfectly will
ing to test his case before the people
and let them decide the question at
an open primary. It showed him to
be a man who was willing to give t'he
new primary law a fair trial without
any subterfuge, " and without any bal
deVdash such as that indulged in by
the eminent gentlemen who used the
Bar Association to work their own
personal ends. It is because of this
independence and his willingness to
let the people decide, that the Wage
worker is supporting Judge Waters.
His nomination will be a deserved re
buke to the Bar Association and es
pecially to those members of the as
sociation who pose as good citizens
but are never loath to use their
friends to vent a personal spite. A
vote " for Judge Waters is a vote for
an independent man, and at the same
time a rebuke to the insolent and ar
rogant action of t'he Bar Association.
This should be sufficient for every
man who carries a union card and believes-
in fair play.
ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Recruiting Their Numbers and Making
Rapid Progress in Lincoln.
A. N. Ireland, district organizer of
tie Electrical Workers, has been in
Lincoln for several' days, quietly work
ing among the non-union members of
the craft. The local imuch pleased
with the results of his work. Thurs
day night the local held an open meet
ing which was attended foy'a number
of electrical workers who are not
members of the union, and at tMs
meeting. Mr. Ireland and others brief
ly but plainly, set forth the objects
and aims of the organization. As a
FcSult of Mr. Ireland's work here the
local has gained in membership and
has renewed its zeal along union lines.
Last week Mr. Ireland organized- a
local at Beatrice, and next Sunday will
return to that city to help the men
get started. He has also visited Has
tings, Holdrege and 'other western Ne
braska cities and has secured a num
ber of applications for membership.
He has hopes of eventually organiz
ing locals in those cities.
Work in Lincoln continues to be
good much better than the average
"of the past three years. Telephone
and street railway, extensions continue
to call for men, and the tremendous
building boom keeps up at a rate that
keeps the organization busy supply
ing men.
