KEEP THIS lit MIND.
Election of Taft Meant Appointment
of Four Injunction Judges.
Here is a fact for union men to
keep in mind while voting for presi
dent next November.
The man who is elected president
pt the next election will nave the ap
pointmnt of four justices of the su
preme court of the United Sates.
Does organized labor want four
r-ore Injunction judges appointed to
the supreme bench?
If" not, see that you vote against

To approve or indorse the candiJacy
or William H. Taft would mean to
indorse the recent decisions of the
United States supreme court, to vote
for and elect him would mean to
seal labor's doom. LaCrosse Labor

Will Elect Delegate to National Con
vention at Next Meeting. j
At its next meeting, which will be
a week from next Tuesday, the Cen
tral Labor Union will be called upon
to elect a delegate to the national
convention which will be held in
Denver next month. The official call
for the convention is out and the local
central body is entitled to one dele
gate. To date the Lincoln Central
body has been represented but once
at a national convention, and tnen
only for a few minutes. The occasion
was when the editor of The Wage-v.-orker
went to Minneapolis to invite
the American Federation of Labor to
hold its next convention in Lincoln.
And, by the way, if the invitation
had been properly backed up at that
time by the men who would have
profited most, the convention could
have been secured for Lincoln.
There are as yet no avowed candi
dates for the position of delegate to
the Denver convention. .Whoever
goes will have the pleasure of paying
his own expenses.
W. H. Hardy has announced that
he will appear before the next meet
ing and . make a few remarks of a
business and personal nature.
It is expected that the newly orga
nized Bakery Workers" Union will be
represented by duly elected delegates
at the next meeting.
"When people in our part of the
country select a family physician they
stick to him." says Dr. John Mat
thews of Illinois, according- to the
Washington Herald. "If he goes away
they won't call in somebody else if
they can possibly help it. They have
faith in nobody but their own man, so
long as he manages to be fairly suc
cessful. Last spring I went up to
Chicago for a few days, much to the
distress of a young mother in our
town, who expects me to inspect her
only baby every other day at least.
The second day of my stay she tele
graphed me to come home at once.
Baby was sick she told me the trou
ble she didn't know what to do. It
wasn't aa urgent case, I knew, so I
wired back a reassuring message, told
her to give the baby a dose of seme
medicine "she had at hand, and to fill
out the ten words I put in 'Prognosis
admirable.' I always like to use
large words when I'm telegraphing
wakes me feel that I'm getting the
worth of my money, you know. When
I got home two days later I went to
see the baby. 'She's all right now,
the mother told me, 'but we were aw
fully worried. We had to rely on the
medicine you left, though. The boy
t the drug store said they didn't have
a bit of prognosis in the place.'
A CARD OF THANKS.
We take this method of thanking
the many friends who so kindly as
sisted our little daughter during her
long illness, and who sympathized
with us so deeply in our bereavement.
We wish also to extend our heartfelt
thanks to those who sent flowers.
MR. AND MRS. G. M. WATHAX.
Will Meet Next Sunday and Transact
a Big Grist of Business.
Lincoln Typographical Union Xo.
209 will meet tomorrow afternoon at
Fraternity hall, it being the date of
the regular monthly meeting. The
usual amount of routine business will
be transacted, and some matters of
especial importance will be given at
tention.
The printers who read Alfred Henry
Lewis' story in Human Life, in which
he told of the visit made by himself
and Humphrey O'Sullivan to the home
of Elbert Hubbard, have been watch-ir-g
for that "page" ad" that Lewis
was so evidently fishing for. To date
they haven't seen it. The explana
tion may be found in that fact that
"Human Life" is not on the fair list
of the International Typographical
Union.
"I never knew it to fail," complained
"Doc" Righter the other day. "Just
as sure as a fellow shows up with
t nice little letter telling what a fine
printer he is, he turns out to be- a
barnstormer of the worst description.
I've been bamboozled by the letter
dodge for the last time."
"Billy" Bustard is at the Righter
shop, where three machines are being
worked two shifts on account of rush
ing business.
The Daily Xebraskan has made an
other machine situation and another
ad and make-up sit.
Wells Compton talked to the Lin
coln Ad club last Tuesday noon, and
he told them a few things that will
benefit them and the printerman if
the ad men will only give heed.

JERE'S SAGE ADVICE.
If there is a labor paper in your
city help it along by subscribing, and
helping it with whatever advertising
you can turn its way; the fellows that
are running labor papers are fighting
your battles and are therefore entitled
to whatever assistance you can give
them. Boost printers ink, and it will
help you every time; tell the public
at intervals that you are on earth by
advertising either your label, or but
ton. Jere L. Sullivan, in Mixer and
Server.
WRONG LOCATION.
For the terrible crime of stealing a
pair of pants worth one dollar, 17-
year-old Antonio Parent! was sen
tenced to ten years in state prison by
Judge Crain of New York. He ought
to do his stealing in Pittsburg, where
two bank officials only got ten years
for stealing $1,500,000. Philadelphia
Trades Unionist.
BRYAN'S HOT SHOT.
One of the best shots Bryan has
handed to the Roosevelt-Taft com
bination was to ask the president if
he would remain in the White House
during the next four years to see that
Taft kept the Roosevelt promises
provided Taft was elected. A a en
tailed presidency will hardly appeal
to the American people Detroit Union

Cherries in England.
It Is still asserted in schoclbooks
that cherries were introduced to this
country by the "fruiterer" or green
grocer of Henry VI1L; also that they
were not common for a hundred years
after that time. It is a surprising
error. Mr. Thomas Wright found the
name in every one of the Anglo-Saxon
vocabularies which he edited. So com
mons were they, and so ' highly es
teemed, that the time for gathering
them became a recognized festival

Extra Special
Man's Blundering Reason.
Beasts, birds and insects, even to
the minutest and meanest of their
kind, act with the unerring providence
of instinct; man. the while, who pos
sesses a higher faculty, abuses it. and,
therefore, goes blundering on. They,
hy their unconscious and unhesitating
obedience to the laws of nature, fulfill
the end of their existence; he. in will
ful neglect of the laws of God. loses
sight of the end of his. Southey.
