The decision rendered by Judge Kennedy involving the garnishment lav passed by the last legislature, is of much importance to the working people. This decision holds that the 10 per cent may be included in the $300 exemption allowed the head of a family. In- other words, one's wages cannot be garnisheed unless the to tal personal property including 10 per cent of his wages, amounts to $500. This decision is a hard blow to that class of people who make a specialty of coercing the payment of claims, be they just or unjust. This law was secured for the purpose of its effects upon employment instead of its reme dy for non-payment of debts. The rule of most corporations is that any employe who has his wages garnished the second time will be dis charged. Thus the fear of discharge was the hope of those who sought the enactment of the law. Judge Kennedy has rendered the poor people a valuable service when 1F TEI1S1IBKS BMP TO YOU Come and See the Stock, It Will LooK Better ! We just bought from W. J.

What is of more valus to the work ingman than his wages. His only commodity, his stock in trade, the only means of an existence, 'deny him the right to work and you have forced him into poverty. An adequate reme dy is always at hand in defense of the dead beat. Xo one is forced to give credit, and where credit is given a certain percentage is always figured for loss by credit. In other words, those who pay cash pay a percentage on those who fail to pay their bills. Omaha Labor Advocate. JUST ITT. RYDER IN OMAHA. Conferring With Interested Parties on Child Labor Law. John J. Ryder, deputy labor com missioner, was in Omaha a couple of days this week, conferring with the child labor commissioners and promi nent educators concerning the en forcement of the child labor law of the State. A number of employers wanted to know a few things about the law, and they asked for a conference. Mr. Ry der announces that he has no desire to rigidly enforce the law in the few cases wherein enforcement will work a hardship against children and par ents, but he wants it understood that (he general provisions of the law must be complied with. It is real ized that rigid enforcement at all times will, under present circum stances, work occasional hardships, tut the framers and supporters of the law had their eyes more on the fu ture than on the present. Those who seek to evade the law are going to find themselves up against prosecu tion.

The McDonald overall and shirt factory at St. Joseph has gone to the eight-hour basis. This is another rea son why Lincoln unionists should buy the output of this factory. Another reason is that the - garments made in: the McDonald factory bear the union label. Another reason is that the garments made in the McDonald fac tory are the best that can be pur chased at the price asked for them.

Views as to Humor of An Old Seng. ;, "Yon remember," said Mr. Kill kinton, '"that grand old song, 'Grandpa's teeth are plugged with, zinc?' "Well, I always supposed that that itinc business was simply a grotes quely humorous flight of fancy. I never thought that anybody's teeth could really be filled with zinc; but now I am not so -sure about that. "Lately I have had four teeth filled, and no two have been filled with the same material. One was filled with amalgam, one with gold, one with porcelain and one with gut ta percha; and now the material they used to fill grandpa's teeth with in the song doesn't seem to me any thing like so ridiculous as it did. "I have seven teeth yet to be filled; and if the dentist keeps on as he has begun, using something different for every tooth, why, I wouldn't be surprised if before I got through I had one tooth at leaBt filled with ::inc." NEW YORK AS CIGAR MARKET. New York is the greatest cigar making state in the Union, its pro duct more than equaling in value that of its nearest two rivals, Penn sylvania and Florida. In spite of the vogue of Havana labels and the superstition that only desirable cigars come from the West Indies, the importations from "that quarter are only a drop in the bucket com pared with the vast domestic output, which in the year 1904: reached a value of $214,000,000. As" a matter of fact, JSew York State turns out more than fifteen times as big a supply of cigars as the whole country imports from Cuba. nineteen minutes, an average speed The Lusitania Is Across.
