THE DIFFERENCE.
Omaha, a city of 100.H)v populitica

for parks, and spends from S75,-H-
to SlM.Ota) a year in maintaining
a park system.

and tries to maintain and improve

a year.

parks, but is preparing ;o vote $30,000

admission that Omaha rather puts t

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
In a republican community the dem
ocratic poiiiician will urge the work
ingmen to organize a worlungiuan's
party," hoping thereby to defeat the
dominant party.
In a democratic community the re
publican politicians will advise the
workingmen to organize a "working
man's party. hoping thereby to de
feat the dominant party.
But wise workingmen will not bite
at these political baits. They will re
fuse to be bound by partisian ties, and
will refuse to vote for those candidates
who are known to be unfriendly, no
Katter what their political affiliations
may be. The union man who affiliates
with the democratic pary and votes for
a foe of oteanized labor merely be
cause that foe is a democrat, is a fit
subject for the asylam for the feeble
nun ied. The union man who votes for
a foe of organized labor merely be
cause that foe is a republican, is like
wise a fit subject for the asylum for
the feeble minded. But as long as
raion men allow their partisanship to
tule their poiitical actions, just so long
will they find themselves ruled by
their Industrial enemies and made In

Fr the simple reason that as long
as you refuse to "bolt" just so Ions
win your party bosses continue to play
upon your partisanship to furtnex tnt.r

an election or two, and the party

"O. we must have political parties
fir a republic like ours." you say.
To be sare. But men of intelligence
; to have political principles of
I their own. principles formulated after
patient though ; and study, nat firmed
second-hand at the dictation oij self
constituted bosses.
The man who 4s a republican be
cause his father was is just as foolish
ss the man a ho is a democrat because
his father was. It's an old story, bu;
it is a good one in this connection:
A man was putting in a crop of
beans wilh a mule, and the mule, tired
of poor food, hard work and cruel
treatment, balked.
"Look here, mule. said the man.
1 know I haven t treated you just
right, but if you'll buckle down to
work and help me tnrough with this
bean crop, when I harvest it I'll give
you half."
"That's a bargain.- said the mule
iad proceeded straightway to throw
its weight against the collar.
When the bean crop was harvested
the man kept all the beans and gave
the ruuio the vines and pods. Yhere-
up the mule lifted up its Toice in 1am-
I entation.
"What's the maiter with you. you
fool mule?" cried the man. "Your
fether was content to live on weeds
and thistles.
"I know that," replied the mule.
"But my father was a Jackass."
Now don't keep right on eating the
political pods and vines while the poli
ticians cat all the beans, just, be
cause O, well think the thing out for your
selves. Do your own political think
ing. Don't be the "goat" forever.
When a union man orders a labor
l-aper sent to him. and after taking
it three years without paying a cent,
sends it back marked ' "refused," he
simply makes manifest the fact that
r.ts unionism is of the mouth variety.
The Regent shoe factory building
soon to become a cold storage ware
house. The Regent management was
such a "frost that the new tenant
ought to get. along w-ith little expense
tor quite a while.
It must be admitted that some
venal "labor leaders" have been bribed
b;- highly esteemed and successful
business men who i.tsist on running
their business to suit themselves.
If organized labor would spend half
s much time boosting its friends as
it does in advertising its enemies, the
result would be more beneficial to or
ganized labor.
There is one good thing about all
these federal decrees against organ
ized labor. It makes us feel so, good
then we do get a little decision in
cur favor. . .
When a union man wants to give
an excuse for buying non-union goods
te doesnt expect much difficulty in
framing one up.
Organized labor is waiting tor its
opportunity to issue an injunction
against Judge Taft's presidential
aspirations.
The Lawyers Lnton has never
been prosecuted for boycotting the
man who tried to sell non-union legal
advice.
The trouble with some pretended
f"iends of labor is that they exhaust
their energy in the prospectus.
The man who claims to carry the la-
tor vote in his pocket merely carries
a lie on his lips.

. GETTING BETTER.
Harry Moore, a popular member of
the Machinists' Cnion, and son of
George Moore, the well known Bur
lington engineer, is rapidly recover
uig from an attack of appendicitis.
Mr. Moore was attacked while at
tending a meeting of machinists in
Omaha and was hurried home. Bo&
he and his parents refused to submit to
an operation, declaring that he should
not be operated on. Grit and a good
constitution helped to pull him
through, and he expects to be at work
in a short time. His many friends
will rejoice to hear of his recovery.

On your next pay day. when you
gather in the shekels which your

and spend your coin purchasing goods

to yourself; just think of the howl
' you would send up if the other fellow
aid not purchase goods bearing the
union label of your craft. "Cut out"

Fopular Machinist-Preacher Has a
New Task Set Before Him.
Friends in this city of the Rev. Dr.
Charles Sielile, supsrintendent of the
department of church and labor of the
board cf home missions of the Pres
byterian church, received information
this week that he had been appointed
superintendent of the immigraiion de
partment cf this board, which is to be
inaugurated soon.
This new department will have its
own bBdget, helpers, and methods of
work. H is hoped that it may help the
moral and religious needs of immi
grants, either by direct missionary
effort or by information, suggestions
and literature to communities doing
their own mission work.
Dr. Stelzle will conduct the new de
partment cor-ordinately with the de
partment of church and labor, but
separate from it. Washington Trades

ONLY UNIONISTS ELIGIBLE.
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
Bar Out All Others,
The Hearst news service on May 1
sent out the following interesting dis-l
patch nnder a Washington date line:
Washington, D. C May 1. 'So
non-union man could apply is -the es
sence of a rule adopted by the Inter
State Commerce Commission in ex
ercising its power to appoint inspec
tors under the safety appliance act
relating to railroads.
"Xa person will be appointed to the
office of inspector unless he is a mem
ber of some railway unisn. but in ad
dition to that he must have the en
dorsement of the chief officer or offi
cers of that union. Such endorsement
is necessary to obtain appointment.
"The commission's excuse for this
radical departure is that by virtually-
transferring the appointing power to
the unions themselves the commission
expects to make each railway organi
zation responsible in a measure for
the men appointed.
"There are twenty-three inspectors
balding office nnder the terms of the
safety appliance act. Each is paid
$1-5 a month, and is allowed $4 a day
for expenses. There are now on file
in the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion the applications of 100 train
men who desire to be inspectors. - Xo
vacancies exist. It is expected that
congress will authorize additional in
spectors. UNION PRINT SHOPS.

Time
a Strike
The "Ilouseivives' Union," if there -be soca and there
should be ought to call a strike. The husbands of the
housewives insist on having up-to-date tools, sanitary
shops and short hours. Why shouldn't the housewives
be emancipated from-the red-hot steel range, the coal
hod, the ash pan, the dull hatchet and the old pine
boards? Why shouldn't they have a comfortable kitchen,
made so by a modern, up-to-date Gas Range? It would
reduce their hours of kitchen drudgery, provide a sani
tary room in -which to work, and preserve health and
strength. .
Thhli It CwCT Ttn CriGo
Strike for a Modern Gas Range. We sell the best
cash or payments. They are cheaply operated. Cost
less than coal. Convenient, easily operated, no dirt, no
kindling, no ashes, no, soot. Cooks the food, not the
housewife. Gas furnishes the ideal light for the home.
Let us give you estimates "on piping your house for gas.
The cheapness of service will surprise you.
