from him to accept any pay for serv

Or, in the event be does not want
to plunge the city into any legal diffi

he will accept the warrants and im

ganization, or something like that.
But being so insistent that the city
should be governed by. men so full of
civic pride that they will serve with
out remuneration other than the con

consider the idea of accepting the $25
month for his own personal use and
benefit.
How about it, Mr. Hardy?

WILL SECRETARY MAYNE ANSWER?
Secretary Mayne of the Young
Men's Christian Association has un
dertaken to accommodate the work
ers of the city by arranging to cash
their pay checks at the association
rooms. He asserts that heretofore
a very large proportion of the pay
checks have been cashed in saloons.
This assertion is doubtless true, but
did Secretary Mayne make the
interesting discovery only after the
saloons were put out of business? And
if he knew it before the saloons were
put out of business, why didn't be put
his check cashing scheme into oper
ation long ago?
The Wageworker knows why so
many checks were cashed at the sa
loons. It wasn't because the workers
wanted to buy drinks. It was be
cause they could get the cash with
less red tape, with less suspicion,
than they could get it elsewhere. The
bar men cashed them in a way that
led the worker to believe that he was
conferring a favor upon the bar man
by letting him cash the checks. At
other places the man who cashed the
checks did so with an air that
seemed to say, "I'm doing this to ac
commodate you. and you ought to be
much obliged to me for my trouble.'
And not nearly so many pay checks
were cashed in saloons as many might
be led to believe by reading Secretary
Mayne's interview. There is one store
in Lincoln that cashes more pay
checks every week than all the sa
loons in Lincoln cashed in the same
length of time.
But what we really would like to
know is, if it was such an awful thing
for the workers to cash their pay
checks at the bars of Lincoln, why
did Secretary Mayne wait until all
the bars were closed before he put
his philanthropic plan into operation
Somehow or other this humble little
newspaper, because of its mental lim
itations, can not understand why a
university professor drawing $2,000
a year is any more entitled to a pen

mechanic who rears a good family
on his earning of $500 a year.

WAS IT, OR WAS IT NOT?
Did Monday night's flood innundate
the proposed high school site. We
inquire to know.
Some say yes. and some say no.
If it was flooded the fact ought
to be known before we vote again
on those high school bonds. And if it
was not flooded, that, too, ought to
be known. The testimony is con
flicting.
But whether it was flood oed. or not
flooded, this interesting fact remains
It would have taken a boat to reach
the site, for there was water all
around it.
Now, perhaps It would be well to
make some inquiries about the owner
ship of a lot of real estate in the
vicinity of the Davenport tract. Of
course the erection of a $250,000 high
school on that tract wouldn't make
the vacant property in that vicinity
any the less valuable, would it?
Before we vote again on those high
school bonds suppose we load up on
information about divers and sundry
things. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars is quite a bunch of
money.
. AVERAGE WAGES.
The reports of 1900 give the num
ber of persons in gainful occupations
as 29.0u0.04v. Henry Larens Call, a
noted economist, gives the number of
wage earners as 18.000,000 and wages
paid to them $5,600,000,000, an aver
age wage of a trifle over $300 per
year. Mr. Call also says that the
indebtedness per capita for both na
tional ,and private amounts to $375;
this is certainly amazing that the out
standing indebtedness amounts to
more than the yearly wage of the 18,
000,000 wage earners.
THAT PROVES IT.
Your card merely shows that your
name is on the roll of a union. The
purchasing of goods bearing the union
label PROVES that you are a union
man. Kansas City Labor Hearld.
HOW ABOUT IT, MR. HARDY?
When the late commission charter
was under process of construction
Mr. William E. Hardy was one of
the franiers who insisted that we
really ought to have an unsalaried
commission. Being very altruistic Mr
Hardy opined that the city should be
governed by men who were so imbued
with civic pride that they would serve
without pay; that the city would be
best governed by men who would
serve for the mere honor and glory of
it, and scorn to be so mercenary as
to demand a salary for their work.
This idea has been splurging around
in Mr. Hardy's mind for a long time.
and every now and then be would
give voice to it.
Mr. Hardy is now a member of the
city council. Be it remembered that
members of the city council are paid
the munificent wage of $25 per month
or $300 a year.
Of course Mr. Hardy will scorn to
accept any salary for his services as
member of the council. He will thrust
his right hand into his bosom, and
with his left hand wave away any
and all salary warrants offered to
Colonel Sink of Grand Island is go
ing to move the state house to his
town because Lincoln voted out the
saloons. We suggest that when be
begins he could save time and ex
pense by using the wheels in his head
for the rollers under the big building.
The supreme court says a railroad
company can not own a coal mine, but
it can own the stock of a coal min
ing company. Yet they blame us com
mon workingmen because we can not
understand the subtleties of the ju
dicial mind.
We've got the names of a lot of
professors who are on Mr. Carnegie's
pension roll. Now will somebody give
us the names of a few of the widows
left husbandless by Carnegie mill ac
cidents who are on his pension roll?
The Wageworker frankly confesses
that Mayor Love starts out like a
man who is going to try to do the
right thing. His committee appoint
ments look good to this humble little
newspaper.
There are some people who can
not understand why it is a crime for
them to spend their own money for
