Securing contracts with singer i nw of the- r-al
worrits of the ilirectof of grand pwra. am! it i h-nr
that his personality ami hi musical temperament
count. If a Morgan or a Frk-k. with boumlIe w-a!f h.
were to try to vngasr a linger anl he Ia-kerl th

hypnotism with me, though I hare mmir running

flute, and I stmlieil harmony at the Conservatory of
Music in JJcpzig.
Great artists are great lailie anl gentlemen. ami
are able to associate with the finest peoprle in the
world. They demand, that recognition of their wr
its which rightfully Jwlongs to them, and it i the
display of adequate appreciation of their -rYice
in tlic cause of art that enable n to bring them to
sing for yon.
There is no such thing as best voices coming from any partictiJar
country, race or climate. In America there are as good voices as abroad. Why.
in my chorus at the present time are seven young women who hae it in
them to become great singers, but they must get out and study, ami I fcave
told them so. 1 would endeavor to secure for- them that proper tuition
here, but this" country is not Europe. There yon can really develop a sing
er with perfect confidence that when the work is finished yon will enjoy
the benefits thereof, for contracts made there are binding. Some of ilwrn
are so severe that an artist under contract cannot get married without
the consent of the director. Here contracts are too ea.-Hy broken.
Think what it wouli mean to me to take a young woman and. after
years of trouble and expense, bring her up to that point of perffi ri n at
which she would be classed as a great artist and her' services would be in
demand. She, forgetting or disregarding the fact that the small salary
she would then be receiving was due to the preliminary expenses which I
had undergone in her behalf might become dissatisfied and greedy for
higher pay, and if a rival of mine were to offer her more, some exen
would be found to break the contract with me, and then all that I hl
done would have been thrown away.
I suppose the popular belief that the singers with the best voice come
from Europe i3 due to their first being heard of in Europe. This i occa
sioned, by the fact that while in this country there are good vocal ni
musical instructors, it is only too true that the real masters are in Europe.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
A Puzzle .That Bothers Men Who
Seek After Knowledge.
"The Assocfoteal Hat Manufacturers
have asked foi an injunction in the
United States circuit court in Boston
to restrain Lanison 4b Hubbard from
using the union label.
"Lamson & Hubbard recently re
organized to make peace with the
striking hat milkers.
Here is a case where a firm of
manufacturers, differing in Judgment
with the manufacturers' association,
desire to use the union label on their
produce; regardless of the fact that
both employer nnd employe are will
ing and anxious to so use the label,
the manufacturers' association prays
an injunction, because of the asso
ciation decision to ignore the label.
The union msn "strikes. and in
terferes with the employers business
by persuasion ir intimidation. The
manufacturers' association "strikes'
against the use of the label and in
terferes with another manufacturer's
business by injunction.

tther. -You cau't use a label." Will
some one kindly define to us the dif
ference? Iow Unionist.
rublican party at that time Mr. Brake
withdrew his affiliation from that
organization and cast his political for
tunes with the democratic party. As
a result of the republicans attitude,
which was not in line with Brake's
report on the labor situation, the
secretary of state refused to have the
febor commissioner's biennial docu
ment printed and it has since slept
the sleep of the undisclosed and un-
revealed. Colorado Springs Labor

MINERS AGAINST COLOR LINE.
Three hundred miners at Provident,
Bolmont county, , Ohio, are to be ex
pelled from the United Mine Workers
because they refused to return to
work by orders of their officials after
a fctrike caused by the men refusing
to work with colored men charged
with carrying tales to officials.
BRAKE PLAYS EVEN.
Colorado's Labor Commissioner Will
Publish Long Suppressed Report.
Edwin V. Brake, the newly ap
pointed deputy state labor commis
sioner, who assumes office in April.
will bare published his report of four
ears ago. wten he held the same
office.
For political reasons his biennial
report during iiis former term in that
office was never printed by the state.
because of the objection by the then
lepublican administration to the man
ner in which Brake treated the labor
war in Colorado. It did not then
square with the it publican conception
of the "law and order" issue upou
which Peabody was running for r--
t lection as governor.

THE CARPENTERS.
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
Start Labor Exchange Idea by Ap
pointing an Agent Pro Tern.
The Carpenters have decided to in
augurate the labor exchange idea and
push it along as best they can until
other unions join in. C. H. Chase has
been put on the job and is succeeding
in getting the thing well started. He
will not confine himself to finding
jobs and furnishing men. but will en
gage in educational work on the side
not among workingmen but among
the general public, a majority of of
whom are prejudiced against unions
because they are ignorant of what
the unions are really doing and try
ing to do. Mr. Chase is well fitted for
the work in hand and the carpenters
deserve the hearty co-operation of
their fellow unionists.
The town is full of non-union car
penters, many of whom were once
members of the organization. Many of
them secured short hours and better
wages by reason of the union, and
then refused to longer pay dues. Oth
ers are afraid to assert their independ
ence, preferring to let the employer
fix hours, wages and conditions.
Work is picking up at a lively rate.
There is every indication " that there
will be more nouses erected in Lincoln
this year than in any other year in
the city's history. The wage outlook
is uot so good, however, owing to the
lack of organization. Scores of country
carpenters have come in to take ad
vantage of better conditions and then
absolutely refuse to join with those
who have secured those conditions.
April Meeting Will Be Held Tomorrow
Afternoon, Fraternity Hall.
The April meeting of Lincoln Typo
graphical union will be held at Fra
ternity hall tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock. So far as known only routine
matters will come up.
Union politics is beginning to
sprout Here and there one sees signs
of delegate candidacies. The interna
tional meets in St- Joseph next Aug
ust, and several have indicated that
they would not indignantly decline the
honor of representing Xo. 209.
It will soon be time to talk about
officers for the coming year, but up
to date names have been infrequently
mentioned. To be an official of the
union means some honor, lots of hard
work and mighty little of thanks or
emolument.
Financial Secretary Hebbard re
fused to allow the nse of his name
as a possible candidate for city clerk.
Can it be possible he did not think
he could hold down two such import
ant jobs as the clerkship of the city
and the treasurership of the union?
President Ingraham has returned
from a western visit and is again at
work at the Star.
Wednesday," March 31, was the birth
day anniversary of Mrs. Orville Young
and the ladies of the Auxiliary remem
bered It. They worked a little sur
prise on Mrs. Young and presented her
with an Auxiliary pin. Mr. and Mrs
Young were invited to spend the eve
ning with Mr. and Mrs. Bustard, and
later a bunch of jolly ones broke in
and insisted on having a part in the
festivities. The evening was pleasant
ly spent and Mrs. Young will remem
ber the date every time she dons the
pin.
DO NT SAY A WORD.
The Bucks company has not denied
to date that it is a "scab" concern,
but the officials of the company and
the courts don't want the public to
know the facts, so don't you go and
tell any of your friends that the
Bucks stoves !re made by "scabs."

If you're not a label booster
You're a good-for-nothing rooster;
You're an agent for the sweatshop.

Don't be aiding Post and Parry;
Get a move on. do not tarry;
But just keep this in your noodle-
Boost the label all the time.

uses Larkin's soap to cleanse himself,

Judge Willis Vandevanter deserves ina
recognition in connection with the discussion
of the new Taft cabinet. For Judge Van Dsraa
ter undoubtedly came nearer to being a member
of the new cabinet than did any other man who
did not actually land in the job. It bad bee
definitely settled by pretty nearly everybody
in the United States except Mr. Taft himself
that Judge Van Devacter was to be made secre
tary of the treasury. Failing that, he was to be
secretary of tbe interior. And in ease that
slipped, almost anything equally as good was to
be his portion. Something like 87 veracious
public journals gave this information in a bosky
stage-whisper, audible as far as the back sea's
of the auditorium.
Then somebody seems to have sneaked up and moved the cabinet away
without first notifying the western judge. When the gas was Hu Mr. Van De
vanter was discovered to be quite outside the jurisdiction, so to speak. How
ever, as he has a pretty fair job as a United States circuit judge for the
Eighth circuit, he will probably be able to pull through, judge Van Devaater
is an Indiana man by birth, and a Wyoming man by force of circumstances. H
was chief justice of the supreme court of Wyoming in the territorial days, and
after statehood came he was elected to the sanSe place.
WHAT GOOD IS HE?
If a union man wears a Stetson hat,
smokes non-union cigars, subscribes
for the Ladies' Home Journal for his
wife and the Saturday Evening Post
for himself, has his meals cooked with
a Buck range, eats Egg-O-See, or Grape
Nuts at his meals and drinks Postum,
