TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. 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 injunction Bill. Kansas City Labor Herald. 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 Journal. BUT IT SAVED THE BABY. Dr. Matthews Tells of Queer Incident of Family's Faith. 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.

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.

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 "cherry fair or "feast," London Corn hill Magazine.
