THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
It s to be hoped that the campaign
for a Y. XI. C. A. building in Lincoln
will be speedily crowned with success.
The campaign is in the hands of some
nctable hustlers, and already the re
sponse is liberal enough to make it
safe to predict that the entire amount
of $100,000 will be pledged within the
time limit. A building such as is con
templated will be a splendid addition
to the public institutions of the city,
but more than that it will be another
big factor in the making of character.
The Y. XI. C. A. is doing a magnificent
work all over the world, and its in
fluence for good in the making and
molding of citizenship is recognized
by men who themselves make no pro
fessions of religion. Great railroad
corporations are not given to con
sidering the moral side of questions
affecting their employes. They are
not putting the use of liquor under
the ban because they believe it is
immoral to take an occasional drink;
but they are putting it under the ban
because it is a measure of economy
a business move. For the same rea
son the great railroad corporations
are helping along the Y.- XI. C. A.
ork. They realize that anything
that makes men better morally and
physically makes them better em
ployes. This is the work that the
Y. XI. C. A. is accomplishing, and for
this reason it deserves the support
of ail men who want to make for bet
ter citizenship.
We wish the Y. XI. C. A. campaign
the fullest measure of success. We
realize the beneficent work the organ
ization is doing. And when the Y. XI.
C. A. building is assured w-e want the
same committees that handle it to
come again and help raise the money
to bni'd a Labor Temple in Lincoln.
The man who says the Y. XI. C. A.
building will serve every purpose con
templated by a Labor Temple simply
does not' know what he is talikng
about. And in its way a I-abor Tem
ple win be quite as much a factor
in the molding of a better citizenship
as -the Y. XI. C A. building. It will
reach ami serve an element that the
Y. XI. C. A. does not, reach. It will
do a sood work thai the Y. XI. C. A.
cau not Oo.
AW, CUT IT OUT!
A whole lot of The Wageworker's
esteemed coniemiioraries have taken
the latest effusion of our good friend,
Charles W. Post, entirely too serious
ly. They are bellyaching about it at
a ra;e that wiU only serve to convince
the husband of the stenographer that
he WuW a few body blows. We
cheerfully admit that when Charley
first started that sort ot thing it kind
o' riled us. but we've got over it
We can now sit down and read oue
of his diatribes and have as much
fun over it as a kitten has over a
ball of yarn. Charley writes that sort
of dope for the purpose of baiting the
union men into redhot replies, and
then he simply points to those replies
as proof of the truth of all of his
assertions. Charley would dearly love
to pose as a martyr to "liberty, and
if he could only induce some fellow
to slug him his cup of happiness
would be running over.
we ret use to be riled any more
by Charley's effusions. We would as
soon think of buying his bellywash
and intestine disturbers as to think
of letting his abuse disturb our equ-
uimity. On the contrary, we rather
rejoice that Charley has taken this
articular tangent. Such effusions as
he has been in the habit of getting off
do not do any particular injury save
to the "union busters'" themselves, and
i: does do a lot of good for union
nieu and women. Irery daily news-
paper that printed Charley's latest
'got good advertising rates tor it. and
every one or the aforesaid daily iwt-
scrs enipkiyes union primers, press-
, uieu aud stereotypers. Thus Charley
is merely feeding the btvad and butter
mKls of thousands of union men and
women. Instead of "kicking" because
'daily newspapers accept Charley's ad
i vertising we would urge them Tf get
! more of it, and at a better rate if
possible. The more advertising the
via it y papers can get at a good round
price, the quicker they will come
across, with increased wages, and the
effect of this inewase will be felt for
by every other class of ir.e
ohanics. As a matter of fact, we have at
times been tempted to ask Charley
: i:v us a Ssice of that sort of ad-
vertising. Of course we wouldn't run
the ads of his bellywash and Intestine
disturbers, but we are so inclined" to
believe that such stuff as he gets
off when he writes those anti-union
ads is really a benefit to the unions
that we are prone to entertain the
belief that it would be weli to give
it wider circulation. Far be it from
us to get red in the face and throw
a fit when Charley takes his pen in
hand and rids his system of its ac
cumulated bile. He is so entertain
ing at such times that it would be a
pity to have him suppressed. And
even if his advertising stunts did
make us mad we wouldn't give him
the pleasure of letting him know it.
We would earnesly advise our es
teemed labor contemporaries to quit
giving Charley so much pleasure. Ht
is not to be taken seriously, any more
than his bellywash and intestine dis
turbers are to be taken inwardly. Tbo
labor leader who takes Charley seri
ously merely puts himself on the sume
plane as the mentally deluded indi
vidual who thinks that the taking of
Charley's bellywash and intestine dis
turber is conducive to brain and mus
cle building" and all of us will admit
that anybody who takes Charley's
dope stuff is sadly in need of "brain
building.
There are thousands who believe
that if John A. Johnson had lived he
would have become president of this
republic We frankly confess that we
are not among the number. Governor
Johnson was a remarkable man in
many ways, but he lacked presiden
tial size.
The $2o-a-plate exclusive silk-stock
ing dinner given tresiaeni tan Dy
Omaha will, of course, make the com
mon or garden variety of wage earner
in Nebraska quite willing to trust his
destinies in the hands of "Bill.
XIr. Harriman carried millions of
of dollars but he never carried a union
card. We never carried millions but
w-e are stiU carrying a union card
and that's where we are ahead of Mr.
Harriman at the present writing.
Gosh, but we are glad we were not
invited to that dinner given to Presi
dent Taft in Omaha. The receipt of
an invitation would merely have re-
uited in a sudden and lamentable ex-
"posure of our poverty.
Every time we read one of C. O.
Whedon's public letters we can more
easily understand why Senator Bur-
feett does not want to believe that
a debate between himself and he-
3cn is necessary.
The Illinois manufacturers who are
fighting the 10-hour female employ
ment law merely admit by so doing
that the wages they pay for ten hours
work is not sufficient for a woman
to live on.
Last summer's drouth is explained
insofar as it affeceted this immediate
locality. The Lincoln Traction Co.
used so much water in its stock that
there was noue left for crop purposes.
The workingmen of Lincoln are not
so mucn in need or coffee nouses
as they are of a wage that will enable
them to have a little bigger share of
"coffee and" on their own tables.
Senators Brown and Burkett advise
us to "trust Taft. We'll gladly do
it if the reverend senators will find
some of the trusts in food stuffs and
clothing that will trust us.
Instead of criticising President
Taff for not making a public speech
or two in Nebraska we are more in
clined to praise him for his discre
tion. The Omaha papers have pretty defi
nitely shown how their policies are
controlled by the way tbey have han
dled the street car situation in that
city.
Speaking of democratic presidential
timber, can you pick out a bigger or
sounder log that OIHe James ot Ken
tucky Huh! We've attended $20 dinners.
But the expense was divided between
fifty or sixty of us.
Well, anyhow, we are content that
the Lincoln team did not play the sea
son backwards.
A local union can be killed, but
unionism will last as long as time
itself.
Omaha is daily furnisbiug additional
proof that it is in but not of Nebraska.
And tlie civ! bin is empty'
