By a small majority the people of Lincoln have decided that they prefer strict regulation and progressive re striction looking to ultimate extinction of the saloons, to the experiment of prohibition. It will not be difficult for the thoughtful man to read in the election figures the ultimate elimina tion ot the licensed saloon. A great many Lincoln voters last Tuesday voted against prohibition, not because they favored the licensed saloon, but because they wanted to be in better shape to enforce prohibition when it did come. Men say that "as long as whisky is made it will be consumed. but while that is absolutely true, it is equally true that the day is coming when it will not be consumed in licensed : toons, and when the moral sentiment of a community will make it so dan gerous to offer it for consumption that there will be comparatively fe who will venture it- Some there may be who hug to their breasts the delusion that this "wave . of temperance reform' is transitory. Sooner or later they will be disillu sioned. It may recede for a time, but it wlH never go back to where it started from, and even in the going back it will be to gather strength for a still further advance. It is the in exorable logic ot events. Already more than sixty per cent of the area ot the V sited States is "dry territory so far as the licensed saloon is con cerned, and the territory is growing. A vast majority ot American men look upon the licensed saloon as an evil, and they differ only as to methods ot ridding the country thereof. It is to ha regretted that these differences of opinion lead to so many bitter de nunciations and to so much ill feeling. In the opinion ot this humble little labor paper nothing can stop the on ward sweep of temperance reform. Men may differ as to the methods to be pursued, but while thus differing they have the same end in view. The liquor traffic is a disease that has long been coursing through the veins of the body politic. It can not, any n than malaria or typhoid, be ousted with on dose ot medicine. It will re quire a course of treatnteEt to purify the system. Now that the question of the course of treatment has been settled for at least another year The Wage-Worker humbly begs to offer a bit ot advice to those who have differed from it as to the kind ot treatment best calcula ted to eradicate the disease. If something more attractive than the saloon can be offered to the work ingman the treatment will be all the more effective. It Is not enough to say that the workingman ought not to spend his time and substance in the saloons. The fact is that many of them do. Why not. while administering the treatment, undertake to offer counter attraction to the saloon? And what better counter attraction could be offered than a commodious, well equipped and attractive Labor Temple. wherein the workingmen could fore gather to discuss topics that would in terest and enlighten, engage in in nocent amusements in clean and mor ally healthful surroundings, and get that companionship which every nor mal man craves and must have? Such an attraction would be an hour ly temperance sermon, a daily object lesson In right living. It would de prive every workingman of the excuse that he "has no place else to go,' when told that he ought not to go to the saloon. It will be a direct appeal to bis manhood. The Wageworker makes bold to say that the Civic League could engage in no better temperance reform work than to get behind the Labor Temple movement and help the projectors of that magniftceat enterprise to push it to a saccessfnl conclusion. Time van. and not so many years ago. either, when the advocates of in fant baptism vera ready to burn at the stake those who opposed that the ological doctrine, and vice versa. Not so many years ago church organiza tions split upon the "organ question, and families were divided by it. and neighbor was set against neighbor. Happily all that has passed and gone, and while men may still differ upon those questions, they no longer spring at each other's throats because of it. Perhaps the time will come when men who oppose the licensed saloon will .no longer characterize as "saloon advocates, and "whisky advocates" those who honestly differ from them as to the best methods to pursue to become rid of them. Owing to circumstances over which he had no control The Wageworker editor was unable to attend church last SRinuay evenings uui m amis nuu j sufficient reports ot several sermons to warrant him in believing that sever al ot his clerical friends temporarily at least overlooked the commandment. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Last Sunday evening The TVago- worker was very roundly abused by a number of clerical gentlemen. For tunately for The Wage worker's editor burning at the stake, boiling in oU. breaking on the rack, or roasting on the gridiron Is no longer considered the proper punishment for heresy. Organized labor elected two union out of the five commissioners who will govern the city ot Des Moines for the ensuing two years under the "Galveston plan." Another commis sioner was endorsed and he was elect ed. Sounds good, doesn't it? Sam Gompers is being roundly j abused for asking for laws that are just and right. The predatory inter ests do not have to ask for the laws they want. They merely issue a com mand and congress obeys. Mr. Taft is such a lover of union ism since he got the presidential bee in his headgear that he actually de lights in seeing tne union label on his campaign printing. Now that it is all over, will some one please Inform an anxious public just how the esteemed State Journal stood on the question? , By the way. why not elect a union man mayor ot Lincoln next spring, af ter electing three or four union men to the legislature this fall? City Clerk Thomas Pratt will be a candidate for the republican nomina tion for mayor next spring. Wait for the spring ot 1909. But will President Roosevelt's "Jim crow message to congress this week suffice to solidify the colored vote for Taft? The Labor Temple will be bunt a "brick at a time." Buy a share of stock now so the bricks win be ready. "Wet." but not so goshawful wet after all, and getting dryer all the time. Boost for the Labor Temple Benefit at the Auditorium.

Several hundred men and women. including religious workers, educa tors, philaathroprsts and others ot wide prominence, assembled in At lanta test week to discuss the.qnesUon ot secanng adequate protection for the hundreds ot thousands ot toiling children throughout the United States. The occasion was the fourth annual meeting of the national child" labor committee. &n organization which has already accomplished much in the direction ot solving the problem cf child labor in factories, mines and ether Industries, SEEK RELIEF. Philadelphia, April C Six city coun cils will be asked this week to appro priate not less than $(0,000 to relieve the distress among the unemployed and their families according to action taken yesterday at a meeting of un employed. A committee was appoint ed to go before the councils' financial committee and impress that body with the fact that more than 20u.00ti per sons are out of work and that at least 10.000 is neded to prevent women and children from starving. A PRINTER "DOPE SHEET" THE MISSOURI RIVER PIRATE. He Discourses on the Official Cam paign Battle Cry, "Who la Hud speth?' Incidentally, Making,, a Few Napoleonic Comparisons. By Our Own Correspondent- "I see," said the old Missouri River Pirate, as he loaded his Missouri meerschaum with cigar clippings. That we have a campaign battle cry as well as an eight-hour one. It is to be observed, however, that the shorter work day battle cry was potent be cause it was a declaration. The cam puin battle cry is decidedly impotent, because it is interrogatory. Who ever heard of soldiers going into battle asking. 'Who is Hudspeth T All th uarrior wants to know of the enemy is 'Where is he?" And this question. 'Who is Hudspeth? eloquently tells huw impoverished is the administra tion for adequate and logical reason! foi their official continuance. Resort tn clumsy sarcasm will not satisfy men who believe extravagance should cease. 'Who is Hudspeth? is no more convincing to the intelligent member ship of the L T. TC. than 'Who Is CiowIeyT or 'Who is Reed? What's in a name? A rose by any other mine would smell as sweet. As the Hudspeth committee has well said. "I" is qualities that fit a man for usefulness; not the mere mental pos session of facts gained from experi ence. "The thousands of members wha are advocating the election of Henry S. Hudspeth of New Orleans to the piesidency. Thomas F. Crowley of Cincinnati as secretary-treasurer and X. P. Reed of New York City as Ei si vice-president do not do so be cause they happen to be named Hud- sjieth. Crowley and Reed. The en thusiasm would be the same what ever their names might be. These men are but the instruments of a atighty uprising of the membership to bring the union back to the humble dues-paying members the men-, of whom it has been said, and truly. 'We are winning because our mem bers are loyal and true. And these three men have concentrated the en ergies of the membership on their election because they have declared unequivocally that if elected they will use their utmost endeavor to re store representative government and correct the evils against which the candidacy of these men is a protest. "George Wilson analyzes the official reports and shows the great sums being paid the organisers, and the paucity of results. And the answer: 'Who is Hudspethr "The Philadelphia delegation, to the Hot Springs convention tell in the Reading Labor Journal how they were warned before starling for the convention that, they must go along with the council. if they expected any relief for the city. And this is met with the "argument. 'Who is Hud speth? - "The printers of Los Angeles have shown the waste of money in the conduct of the Times figaL And this is met with the "unanswerable re joinder. 'Who is Hudspeth?" Wilson has shown Lynch is re si ousibJe for the abrogation of the tripartite agreement and - the latter's later admission that tite agreement woald have saved much money and many shops. And. though a feeble vfiort was made to reply to Wilson in j a Syracuse paper by 'Fair Play, las it tiere could be fair play over a aota de plume! I Wilson came back, j and 'Fair Play" has been busy ever ' .

Did yon ever hear of Napoleon before go ing into battle at Ansterlitz asking. -Who is Francis? Who is Alexander? Or at Sedan. 'Who is William? Or at Waterloo, 'Who is Wellington T "'Xo.' said the old Pirate, "Who Ss Hudspeth?" May be a battle cry. but it is not calculated to win bat tles. However, they must use the best ammunition they have, and if that's the best and obviously it is but what's the use?" And the old Missouri River Pirate Ughted his pipe. He had not been -smoking." J. J. DIRKS. St. Louis. Every trade unionist who keeps in touch with current events in his movement knows that Frank Morri son is the national secretary of the American Federation of Labor, and that ha is an upright and capable man. Every such union printer knows, more over that Frank Morrison is a lead ing member of the printers craft, and that he is now a candidate as delegate-from the I. T. V. to the coming convention of the A. F. of L. Secre tary Morrison's defeat is now being sought fcy James M. Lynch, the presi dent of the International Typograph ical Cnion. He wants the place for one of his henchmen named McCul- lougta, and word has gone out among the other henchmen that Morrison must be defeated at an hazards. The trail of the serpent runs an through the Lynch policy and all over the Lynch administration; and this game to defeat Morrison is only one ex pression of it. There is nothing against Morrison; not at alL And there is nothing in favor of McCul tough unless it be in his favor to be a tool in Lynch's hands to do the latter's work of perpetuating himself in power. Union printers win do well to keep these facts in mind when they cast their votes for delegates to the A. F. of I. convention. Minnesota Union Advocate. Of course the official Journal is fair. It merely allows a correspondent to ""roast" a labor paper because the make-up of the patent -side inserted a Post ad. And of course the Tabor paper aforesaid-is opposed to czarism and extravagance.

J hn IX Wells in Buffalo News. Colonel Swigart of St. Louis, who started the fight and couldn't run the course, is a candidate for delegate from the big Missouri city. 5 President Lynch went to Washins- . , - - ... I ton. under instructions of the execu- tive council, to see President Roose velt and ask for the appointment of a union man to the position of public printer. It was only a coincidence that Columbia Union met while Lynch was ic Washington, and of course a K-tter duly signed and with the union seal attached would not have sufficed to show President Roosevelt what the union wanted. You'll see it in the expense account in next month's Journal. With a ""card man at the head of the G. P. O. there ought to be some thing doing in the office of the financial-secretary of Colombia Union. WE DO NOT PATRONIZE BUCK STOVES AND RANGES! Notic.
