The office of Register of Deeds is a very important one, and the voters should see that they .cast their vote for the best man fitted for the office. Mr. A- J. Morris is a candidate for the nomination on the republican ticket for this important office and is receiv ing the support of a host of friends. The nnion men of oar city should at all times vote for those whom they know to be friendly toward their cause and a vote for A. J. Morris means a vote for a friend. If Mr. Morris re ceives the nomination, and is elected to this high position, he will devote his time and attention to the office in a manner that will reflect credit on himself and the citizens of Lancaster county. He will represent all the peo ple and not any certain class. Mr. Morris has served the people of this city in the capacity of secretary of the board of educaUon for -the past ten years in a commendable manner, and is well qualified to fill the posi tion to which he aspires. A GREVIOUS ERROR. A LITTLE BOUQUET. Will M. Maupin, recently appointed labor commissioner of Nebraska, was chosen president of the newly- formed Federation of Labor, which met In Lincoln. Neb., last week. Mr. Maupin is well fitted for tha posiUon and will build up the Federation. Ad aggres sive man is needed in the president's fosidon who can meet all kinds of people and make good. Maupin is "it when it comes to an argument, and is well posted on labor subjects. His election assures the success of the Nebraska FederaUon of Labor. Joplin (Mo.) Trades Unionist. . Boot and Shoe Workers Fail to Fol low a Universal Rule. Among other things done by the Boot and Shoe Workers when they met in Syracuse a few weeks ago was to neglect to follow a universal rule. The matter of helping the striking hat ters came np, and thus was afforded an opportunity , to adopt a lot of high sounding resolutions of sympathy. But the Boot and Shoe Workers signally failed to rise to the occasion. In stead of appointing a committee of men capable of slinging English into high-flown phrases they actually dodged and contented themselves with appropriating $10,000 for the aid of the Hatters. Now wouldn't that jar you? Missing a chance to resolute and resolve and contenting themselves with putting np ten thousand paltry dollars. Gee, but these trades unions are becoming sordid and mercenary. They are actually beginning to think of their unfortunate brothers in dollars and cents instead of in resolutions and resolves. And now, instead of sitting around and reading a lot of eloquent words from the Boot and Shoe Workers, the striking Hatters will have to content themselves with eating a few square meals. Isn't it awful, Mabel, to see our be loved traditions thus ruthlessly slaughtered and smashed to smither eens?

Most fair-minded men agree to this. Mr. Hoagland is a candidate for the nomination for re election on the republican ticket. There is an old adage that it does not pay to swap horses in the middle of a stream, and the many .friends of Mr. Hoagland contend that the phrase holds good ia this instance. By his fair and impartial manner in conduct ing the sheriff's office he has won the esteem and respect cf all and it is for the best interests of the people that he should be his own successor. If he is nominated and re-elected to this important position the citizens of Lancaster county can have every as surance that the office will be con ducted along the same careful, conser vative lines in the future as it has In the past. Those Pesky Socialists Actually Ask- ing for the Passible. The Socialist party in New Tork has some scandalous demands in its platform. It wants playgrounds, and kindergartens established; thinks the city should reclaim all franchises, and operate its own public service facil ities and would have the city engage in a policy of reclaiming all available lands and occupying them with mod ern, sanitary houses, to be rented at cost to working people. Ever hear of anything so crazy? Yes? Where? Why in all the great cities of Europe, where municipal government is fast oemg made a science instead of a stench. But, of course, free and en lightened America doesn't want such things. Washington Daily Times. able impression of this Union Stamp.

Popular Mechanics is the name of a monthly magazine that has enjoyed a large circulation among nnion me chanics. . Recently the managers of this publication decided that it pre ferred to have Its printing done by non-union printers and pressmen, so the work was given to an unfair shop. Union men and women should allow Popular Mechanics to circulate only among non-union mechanics. THAT "NEAR-TOBACCO." Your Cigars Should Bear This Label.. Union-mad Cigars. . . . 1 It is insurance against sweat shop and tenement goods, and against disease. . . . C-X"X 7h 9 us What You Get When You Smoke the "Scab" Stuff. Hay and arsenic sold for tobacco by the great and glorious Trust. The above is the official analysis made by the Pure Food Bureau of the Agri cultural Department in Washington. There is hardly a dead wall in the city which does not contain an adver tising poster of the tobacco, asserting it is the only genuine smoking tobac co. Whole walls of houses are covered with a large picture advertising its virtues. It is one of the oldest brands on the market. Many smokers when they go into a tobacco store and are offered some other brand of tobacco will shove it back and call for the brand analyzed and say, 'Throw that stuff away. I want some real tobacco. The neat little sack containing sixty- three per cent alfalfa, six per cent ar senic, one per cent opium, three per cent of fluid and actually twenty-seven per cent of tobacco is handed out to them. Then they roll it in a paper doped with more opium and brag on the fine brand of tobacco they are re ceiving. In closing we make bold to mention the fact that, the tobacco in question is Bull Durham. Michigan Union Advocate. V. W. THEWS. The present coroner, V. W. Mat thews, is asking the nomination on tte remiblican ticket for a second term, Mr. Matthews has fulfilled every j pledge made in his last campaign, and A state bureau of labor and statis has saed the taxpayers of Lancaster tics has been created by the Texas leg county at least fifty per cent compared j,iatvlre with former administrations. .
