Many men will want
our exceptionally fine suits; the
perfectly hand-tailored garments
of luxurious imported woolens,
better clothes, of course, than
any other Lincoln store handles,
even better than our best west

These are priced $25, $27.50,
$30, $35 and $40 after all,
there's real economy in buying
these best clothes.
For young men
We mention young
men's clothes in a
separate paragraph
because they are a

ONE MAN LOST.
Raymond Robins Tells of the One
Man God Most Hates.
Extract from a speech of Raymond
Robins at the Denver A. F. of L. convention:
Men of labor, when we fonghtonr
way over Chilcoot Summit and went
over the glaciers of Alaska, there was
one truth hammered into us every
day of the three years we fought the
trail, and that truth was that men
n only win when they stand to
gether. One man in Alaska is a lost
soul he is as much lost as an unor
ganized man in a big factory. You
know the condition of the unorgan
ized man. He has that lively liberty
The
Suits at
$10.00
are the most extraordi
'nary values ever offered
at the price. In fit, style,
materials they are equal
to the best $ 1 5 suits any
where else in the city.
The
Suits at
$15.00
are aristocratic, fashion
able clothes. In the all
wool materials, in style,
in colors and in the fine
tailoring the great value
in these suits is un
usually striking.
The
Suits at
$20.00
are hand-tailored, of finest
American woolens; made
expressly for us by the
leading manufacturers of
fine clothing. Such suits

in other Lincoln stores.

THE BARBER'S CONVENTION.
Milwaukee Meeting in October Prem
ises Some Lively Sessions.
The Barbers International- Union
will meet In convention fa Milwaukee
next month, and there are surface
indications that the sessions win be
pretty lively. Among other things to
be discussed is the matter of estab
lishing a home for old and incapac
itated members, patterned after the
International Typographical Cnion's
home at Colorado Springs. The
barbers have plenty i of money to
make the start, and plenty of energy
and nnion spirit to make the home
worthy of the organization.
Another - matter that " is being
talked about is that of establishing
a uniform wage scale and shortening
the hours to a similar basis all over
the country. This is a big question
and it will take a lot of brains to
arrange a working plan.
The local nnion will doubtless be
that some scab employers of labor represemea oy a live delegate woo

that liberty the cat has in a tub oat

and the indications are that there
will be some important business to

started, and there are several things
that could be done with profit to the
workers of this locality.
The central bodv is the proper
body to take hold f the proposed

has .brains enough and energy enough
among its members to carry such a
project to a successful conclusion.
The "Labor Headquarters'" proposi
tion is another one that should be
taken up at once and carried through
triumphantly.
It will soon be time to consider the
question of sending a delegate to the
American Federation of Labor con
vection at Toronto, which, meets
November 12. That convention prom
ises to be one of the most important
in the history of the Federated move
ment. There are many reasons why
Iowa and Nebraska should be well

What Is Needed.
"Intelligent public opinion crysta)
ized into laws is what is needed.
Technical schools, both public and pri
vate, manual training, trade and do
mestic science, must be established
that girls may be given wider and
more varied opportunities for earning;
a livelihood, which will lessen the
large ncmber of unskilled workers and
dfgnlfy woman's work. Legislation tor
the protection of those too ignorant,
too young and too inexperienced to
depend upon organization to better
their condition is needed. The burden
of responsibility for such legislation
should be laid upon society to protect
the coming generations by prohibiting
omen from night work, from loc$r
hours, from working in toe noisoaot&s
atmosphere or from a speed that de
humanizes the worker. Woman msst
be encouraged to organize to protect
their own interests, they most be
helped to a consciousness of their
right to fair pay, rair hoars 2 ad good
conditions, and must learn that un
less they care for tnemserres ihej
cannot te of use to others.
