The boys out there had a big time, judg ing by a handsome menu card sent us by Superintendent Deacon. The card is a handsome sample of typography, and the menu shows that the culinary department of the Home Is in the hands of rtists. For breakfast the guests of the Home had oranges, oat meal, broiled lamb chops, French fried potatoes, hot biscuit, bread, butter. tea, coffee, and milk. For supper they had cold boiled ham, lettuce, baked potatoes, American cheese, wheat muffins, sliced pineapple, fruit cake, bread, butter, tea, coffee and milk. But Christmas dinner gee, it makes the mouth water even ta write about it. Here is the dinner bill: Oysters on the half shell, consomme, olives, salt almonds, celery, roast, young tur key, cranberry sauce, mashed pota toes, sugar corn, stewed tomatoes, plum pudding with brandy sauce, as sorted fruits, mixed nuts, bread, but ter, tea, coffee and milk. And after dinner there were plenty of good union made cigars. And here's hoping that every mother's son of 'em enjoyed the Christmas cheer. Fine old bunch, those veterans of the trade, those men whose health has broken down under the strain. There's nothing too good for them that money can buy, and they can bank on the fact that 40,000 union printers are 'wishing them the happiest kind of a Xew Year and many of them. - James M. Lynch has announced his candidacy for re-election to the presi dency of the Intel-national Typograph ical Union. He bases his claim chief ly uiwn the success of the eight hour fight waged under1 his management. The fight was won at an expense of upwards of $4,000,000, and Philadel phia, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha and many another city is yet in had shape. President I Lynch Is an able man. There Is no better parliamentarian in the ranks of organized labor. He is a splendid organizer. But he has built up a one-man power machine that will wreck the International Typographical Union if it is not itself wrecked. The so-called "initiative and referendum" of- the International Typographical Union Is little better than a farce. The convention, always dominated by the administration crowd, provides the initiative. Iese majeste has been approved under the Lynch regime. Local' unions that have dared to claim the right to disagree with the execu tive council have been trampled upon with hobnailed shoes. The time is ripe for a change of administration. This department's editor is for Wil liam B. Prescott for president of the International Typographical Union. Prescott and reform of administra tion! Frank, A. Kennedy, THE executive council or the B. O. O. Z., is In, dis grace. Unless he can give a satis factory explanation ' of bis double decked duplicity the Most Worshipful Secretary, which is us, will strike his name from the rolls, take up his card and ostracize him. It is charged against Kennedy, and admitted by him. that he actually ate at the same table in an Omaha restaurant with Tommy Klopp. Treason! Worse than treason! What right has Ken nedy to be eating in a restaurant, to say nothing of eating at the same table with Tommy Klopp? And the worst of it is that Kennedy actually glories In his shame. He sat right there with Klopp, ate with him and conversed with him. Brother Guye of the Omaha Barbers' Union gives Kennedy a deserved roasting in the Labor Advocate for his traitorous con duct. Of course Editor-President Guye would refuse to shave Tommy Klopp. And Colonel McCul lough of the executive committee of the Omaha Tyiographical Union would absolute ly refuse to write anything for Tommy Klopp to read. The Most Worshipful Secretary -still us hereby notifies THE executive council that when he sends in his abject apology and ex planation he must also send in a double percapiter tax. We intend making horrible example of cases like this. caught at Omaha and forced to disgorge. ' The Typographical Union will meet Sunday afternoon in the small hall on the third floor of the Fraternity build ing. . Miss Anna C. Wilson of Washing ton is still making an active canvas for trustee of the Home. Picture post cards is one form of campaign ing that this enterprising candidate is using with effect. Charley Fear seems to have struck a rich lead with his labor paper at Joplin, Mo. He is being boomed for delegate to tae A. F. of L. by his ad miring constituents. Sam De Xedry of Washington is a candidate for delegate to the A. F. of L. from the I. T. U. He'd make a good one, for be knows the ropes to perfection, and he has got a wonderful thinkery. De Xedry and Fear would make a good team. Outside of hte ad rooms the print ing business has been rather slack for the last month, but there are good times ahead. A national campaign always makes good business in the printing trades. The editor of this humble little labor paper is proudly wearing a brand new Elgin watch .twenty-year gold case, presented to him by William J. and Charles W. Bryan. Maybe it was a hint to be a little more prompt in get ting down to work in the morning. And maybe one of the donors of the aforesaid watch will be the next presi dent of the United States. What? . The Daily Star has started a cru sade against the handbill nuisance. The Wageworker heartily seconds the Star's protest against handbills that do not bear the la'bel" of the allied printing trades. Shelby Smith, Most Worshipful Grandaddy of the B. O. O. Z., has sent in his January percapiter and is here by allowed to breathe the same air as President Lynch for the next thirty days. It is up to the membership of -No. 209 to give the anniversary committee every possible assistance. The silver anniversary ought to be celebrated in a way that will go down in history. The Auixliary may be counted upon to do more than its share to make the anniversary a success. Let everybody take hold and help the committee frame up a record breaker. i The Council Bluffs Xonpareil has divorced its job department, and that end of it is now in charge of a com pany known as the Monarch Printing company. George Sancha of Omaha, an old friend of the writer, is vice- president of the new company. San cha. is one of the wise guys of the labor movement and as good an all- round printer as there is in the Mis souri Valley. Here's hoping for the success of the new enterprise. A MYSTERIOUS DEATH. William Parsons( aged 27, a driver for the Hardy Furniture company, was found dead in his big van near Fif teenth and Y streets last Tuesday afternoon. As near as can be learned Parsons was thrown from his high seat by the sudden starting up of his team, and falling backwards sustained a fractured neck. The team' ran away, and when it was stopped Parson's dead body was found. He lived with a married brother and a sister at 1724 J street. He had worked for the Hardy company two years and was a steady, reliable man who was well liked by all who knew him. His aged mother lives in Omaha. HE WAS MISSING SEVEN YEARS. A Kansan, Given Up as Dead, Heard From in Indiana. Edward Brown, who disappeared from South Haven, west of Arkansas City, Kas., seven years ago and was supposed to be dead, is at the home of his brother near Greencastle, Ind. This information was 'received by his father. H. V. Brown, postmaster at Braman, Ok., in a telegram from the brother, who simply said that Edward had come there. One day, seven years ago, Edward Brown drove to South Haven, put his team in a livery barn, drew $225 from the South Haven bank and went to Wellington. The last seen of him was in company with some gamblers in Wellington. After a vain search for him his relatives came .to the conclusion that he had been killed in Wellington and his body disposed of in some mysterious man ner. He was then 30 years old and unmarried. 501 John III. Grahan, D. D- S- Lincoln, Nebraska DENTAL 0EFICE8 Helm McDonald George Locker is working on the city directory in the North shop. John Marshall is still pesticating around on the trail of a good country newspaper and says he Is going to land one some of these days. Colonel Carson found a frozen viper in the road and took it home with him. He thawed it out, and the viper repaid him by swiping an overcoat and a gold watch. The. viper was It Must Ask Tonganoxie First. A temporary injunction was granted by Judge Gillpatrick of the district court at Leavenworth, restraining the Missouri & Kansas Telephone com pany from building a line into Ton ganoxie. There is an independent' telephone company in Tonganoxie now and it is said that certain interested t-ersons ao not want mother line to get a foothold. Tongai osie Is a city of the third class an) under the law passed in 1905 a telephone company has to obtain a franchise from third class cities before it can establish tele phone lines or exchanges. The Mis souri & . Kansas Telephone company made no effort to obtain a franchise in Tonganoxie. DO YOU BELIEVE IN POSTERING HOME INSTITUTIONS?
