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.

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?

SCANDALOUS DEMANDS.
H. V. HOAGLAND.
It is the custom by common consent.
to accord a county officer who has
served acceptably for one term, the
right to a second. 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.

"POPULAR MECHANICS."
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.

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.
