proportion.
WHY NOT BORAH?
Omaha World-Herald Asks President
Roosevelt a Pertinent Question.
Thosa who justified President
Roosevelt in denouncing Moyer and
Haywood as "undesirable citizens"

friend and supporter, Senator Borah,

pliclty in wholesale land. frauds.
, Moyer and Haywood were charged
with being implicated in acts of vio
lence committed in the war between
capital and labor In the Rocky moun

and legal adviser of the big corpora-j
tion and horde . of politicians that
profited by the thefts. But the presi
dent doesn't brand Borah.
The question arises, why shouldn't
he?
If it was proper and right to brand
labor leaders on suspicion, on the eve
of their being tried for their lives,
why is it not right and proper now
to brand, also on suspicion, the em
inent senator who prosecuted these
labor leaders?
Surely a United States senator who
Is suspected of conspiring to rob the
government; surely an able and adroit
lawyer, who it is charged, for a fee,
gives legal advice and assistance to
land thieves, to help them steal safely,
Is an "undesirable citizen" just as
much as were the labor leaders. Why
make fish of some and fowl of oth
ers? If it is a good thing for the
president to denounce men on trial,
why not denounce Borah?
Of course, Borah is a republican
and a warm political supporter of
the President. Moyer and Haywood
were socialists, and political enemies
of the president. But we must re
member that the president has a
"spear that knows no brother." It is
a perplexing problem, and we leave it
to those who justified the "undesirable
citizen" outbreak to solve it. Omaha

then Brother Maupin calls Brother
Ryder's attention to the fact that
there are a lot of little children under
the prescribed age driving delivery
wagons and delivering messages in
Lincoln. We need not say that we
are glad to see this agreement be
tween our two good friends in a good
cause. They are both whole-souled
good fellows who have given a good
share of their recognized ability to
the cause of the poor and burdened
ones of life. And we know that as
they progress in their work, the one
as editor and the other as state of

DESERVES A MEDAL.
Fireman Lux of the Burlington Saves
Child From Horrible Fate.
Marion R. Lux of Lincoln, a fireman
on the Burlington, is due to receive
a Carnegie hero medal. But better
than that he is entitled to the heart
felt thanks of the mother whose child
he saved from horrible death by risk
ing his own life to save it.
Lux performed his rescue act by
crawling out on the pilot of his en
gine and after grabbing the little one
hurled himself to one side of the
track and thus escaped the wheels.
The scene of Lux's heroic act was
between the towns of Milford and
Seward. The engineer of the freight
on which Lux is fireman, first noticed
the baby, a little girl, on the track
some distance ahead; he blew the
whistle an:l put on the brakes, but the
child paid no heed and it was seen the
train could not be stopped in . time.
Lux volunteered the rescue, climbed
out on the running board, then to the
pilot and grasped the child in the nick
of time.
The incident is an exact parallel
y
with that of L. H. Poell. a fireman at
Grand Island, who two years ago
saved a little child in precisely the
same manner, but in doing so, Poell
was dragged under the engine and
lost both his legs. He was rewarded
with a Carnegie medal. He was later
elected county clerk.
THE LYRIC.
Popular Theatre Still Keeping Faith
With the Public.
The Lyric theatre continues to
stand high in the favor of the amuse
ment loving public, 'and for that rea
son it Is playing to three crowded
houses daily. It takes a lot of schem
ing to secure good attractions every
week, but Manager Miller manages to
do it. The present season promises
even better than past seasons.
Manager Miller wants it distinctly
understood that he caters only to those
who love clean attractions, and he
especially tries to please the women
and children. The Saturday matinees
for the little folks are i a great fea
ture, and the children who attend are
as safe as if in their own homes.
The Lyric is worthy of the patronage
of everybody, and for a small sum
one may have an hour and a half of
genuine amusement.
CHICAGO PRESSMEN.
By a vote of 3S4 to 76 the press
men of Chicago decided to demand
the eight-hour day immediately. In
rdditlon to this news comes the in
formation that the famous Franklin
union of press feeders have applied
for a charter from the I. P. P. and
A. U. This union has for years been
an independent local organization and
has been one of the most successful
local organizations in America.

209 will . hold its regular monthly
meeting at Carpenters' hall next Sun
day afternoon, and the gavel will fall
promptly at the usual time. Needless
'to say that there is a lot of business
to transact. The apostacy of a for
mer active member, who is now a
proprietor will be taken up.
There are several committees out
that are due to report in a short time,
perhaps Sunday. One of them is the
committee to frame up a plan for the
erection of a monument on the union's
burial lots in Wyuka. And Sunday
will not be too early to begin laying
plans for the silver anniversary of
the union, which occurs next Febru
ary.
If any member has a, plan whereby
the membership can be induced to
take more interest in"" the "sticker"
campaign he, will be warmly wel
comed. This plan of campaign ha.3
been sadly neglected, and the time
is at hand when the union will be a
big loser unless it gets busy.
The widespread interest taken in
the Unine Printer's' Home a't Colorado
Springs is evidenced by the fact that
a woman friend of that institution has
just, made it a provisional bequest of
$100,000. Who the woman is has not
been made public as yet, but she is
a resident of Colorado Springs. The
board of trustes met at the Home
last week. The Colorado Springs
Labor News contains the following
information concerning the bequest
mentioned:
"At the closing session of the week's
meeting of the board of trustees of
the Union Printers' Home, held on
Saturday, September 21, action was
taken which will eventually permit the
Home to accept a very large gift from
a woman philanthropist of Colorado
Springs for the purpose of establish
ing an endowment fund to care for
those who become dependent owing
to their 'bread-winners being forced
through sickness or infirmity, to come
to the home. The gift is stated as
$100,000.
"The name of the woman philanthro
pist w-ho has contributed so liberally
toward the moement for, a home for
the families of the residents is with
held at her request. Her offer was
(made more than a year ago, with the
stipulation that the sum be applied
in -behalf of the families of the 'aged
and infirm printers. Since the char
ter of the institution would not per
mit of the acceptance of the gift a
the time of its tender, the last legis
lature was induced to pass a special
law permitting such institutions as
the Printers' Home to amend their
charters. Attorney K. R. Babbitt was
requested by. the trustees to prepare
an amendment to the charter that will
allow the acceptance of the gift, as
well as the .establishment of an en
dowment fund." i
The Home trustees transacted a lot
of business. They officially desig
nated the hospital department as the
"Tuberculosis Sanitarium" and will
introduce an extensive plan of treat
ment for this complaint. Local un
ions will be requested not to send
members in advanced stages of con
sumption. A special rule was enacted
that members shall not be permitted
to use liquor except by the consent of
the Home physician. The usual reso
lution commending Superintendent
Deacon and Mrs. Deacon was adopted.
Secretary Barmwood was prevented
by illness from attending the meet
ing of the trustees.
The son of President James Lynch
is reported seriously ill, typhoid fever
being the complaint. The union print
ers of the international jurisdiction
will be a unit in the wish that the boy
speedily recover.
The screws are being tightened on
the Fremont situation. The unions
in that city are endorsing the printers
and tendering them moral and finan
cial support. There are a lot of wage
earners in Fremont, and they are put
ting in "stop" orders on the Tribune
in large numbers. They are also mat
it known that their patronage will
not be' given to those who ask for it
through the advertising columns of
an unfair paper. As a result the ad
vertising columns of the Tribune are
showing the effects of the ' contest.
Frank Coffey is still in charge of the
situation and he reports everything
going along well.

To the Buzzards, Scavengers and
' Vipers of the I. T. U. Greeting:
THE Executive Council will not
stand for this disrespectful insubor
dination on the part of the Most Wor
shipful Secretary. We are at a loss
to understand why he assumes the
attitude of one in authority. A week
or two at West Baden, Ind., would
do him good, and THE Executive
Council hereby orders and directs
that he be given two .FULL weeks
at this great resort so that he may
be restored to his normal self. In the
meantime THE Executive Council
will find a way, as it always does,
to enforce its orders. The Most Wor
shipful Secretary has no authority to
issue any commissions to anybody,
except where they are subject to the,
approval of THE Executive Council.
To permit this order of the Most Wor
shipful' Secretary , to stand would be
establishing a very bad precedent, for
that reason the secretary's order ap
pointing J. J. Dirks the Most Wor
shipful Chiropodist is hereby revoked
for ever.
THE Executive Council hereby re--vokes
the commission of Our" Most
Worshipful ZooZ, George Wilnot Har
ris, and appoints to suceed him the
next greatest Viper, Scavenger and
Buzzard in the jungle, Shelby Smith
of Philadelphia. Shelby Smith needs
no introduction to our Beloved Order.
He has stung the enemies of our or
der until they almost stole' his stinger,
but a few weeks at West Baden, Ind.,
restored his stinger to its normal
sting. '
With reference to the threat of the
Most Worshipful Secretary, that he
will give twenty-five reasons why we
should back ,up on our previous or-'
der, we frankly admit that we are
willing to com-pro-mise that part of
our order.

THE executive council having
shown signs of a willingness to com
promise, the Most Worshipful Secre
tary hereby give official sanction to
the revocation of George Wilnot Harr
lis' commission as Most Worshipful
ZooZ and the appointment of Shelby '
Smith, Expert Viper,' to that exalted
position. The commission will be for
warded to Most Worshipful Viper
Smith just as soon as his percapiter
ia received.
The Most Worshipful Secretary will
not, however, stand for the revoca
tion of J. Jungle Dirks as Most Wor
shipful Chiropodist." That gentleman
has forwarded his percapiter and it
has been properly expended. 'Owing;
to the danger that publicity of exped
itures might tip our hand to the enemy,
the Most Worshipful Secretary has
instructed himself not to publish the
same in the Official Organ.
Applications for membership to
either or all of the three degrees in
our Beloved, Order must be accom

Gour's application has been returned
for failure to observe this Supreme
Requirement. , . '

He will go to Latonia, or Hawthorne
