WHY PAY mO RE!
We don't care where you
go, you can get no better
quality of goods than we
offer you. There's noth
ing better than the best
then why pay more than
we ask for the best?
We are strenuously trying" to educate the people to the fact that it ISN'T NECES
SARY to pay $30, $35 and $40 in order to g-et the best Suit or Overcoat.
Our earnest endeavor has been to furnish high grade qualities at sensible prices
and we have built up an enormous business by this policy. The same men come to us
season after season, and new ones come in every day. They have learned that we give
them the most for their money.
To out ot town people we say, when you come to Xiincoln don't pass us by. Come in.
Examine our stock. Compare values and prices.' We'll treat you rig-lit and we'll save
you money.
ers went blindly on record not only
against the strikers, but against union
labor in general. The artkde we
have referred to concludes:
There is a constant plaint by
churchmen at the indifference to
church and religious affairs shown
by mechanics and laborers. The lat
er stand aloof, saying that the min
sters are wholly in sympathy with
he capitalist 1 class. The resolutions
doptad by the Ministerial associa
tion will tend to confirm this be-
iof, and to that extent will do the
cause of religion much injury. There
re other potent reasons why gentle
men of the cloth should keep out of
h-aatej controversies that do not di
rectly concern the church."
It seems to us that ministers of
the gospel should be preaching peace,
good will and mutual concession, and
that even though few of them have
ny permanent interests in the com
munity, they should try to be gov
erned by the interests of those who
are permanently identified with the
community and dependent upon its
growth and prosperity." Omaha

TIMELY AND PERTINENT.
What One Daily Thinks of Fool Brea
of Omaha Preachers.
The Examiner reads the Omaha
Ministerial association a timely and
pertinent lecture on the ill-advised
resolution which the preachers passed
at the very inception of the street
car strike opposing trade unions on
principle. In the whole membership
of the Ministerial association there
is probably not one who has ever
employed ten laborers at a time, yet
without any experience in labor
disputes, and without any first-hand
information about the subjects at is
sue in the pending strike, the preach
plied: "I'll never use a 'Lee Broom."
The other day she called up Fred
Brittell, 2233 O, and asked him if he
had anything in the broom line that
was not made by the Lee Broom and
Duster Co. "I don't handle the Lee
broom," replied Brittell, "and I never
have and never will handle the Lee
broom." "Got any union made
brooms?" asked the little woman. "No,
but I will have if you'll tell me where
I .can get 'em."
So the little woman ordered a broom
that wasn't made in the pen, and al
though it has no union label it comes
nearer being what she wants thjtn
anything turned out by the Lee Broom
and Duster Co. If there is any ad
vertisement for Fred Brittell, grocer
at 2233 O street, in this little story,
he is welcome to it. He will not han

A Little Advertising That Is Gladly
Given Without Price.
For a month or six weeks a true-
blue little union woman in Lincoln
has been sweeping her house with the
stub end of a union made broom, and
all because she couldn't find a grocer
in Lincoln who handled anything else
than a Lee broom. She telephoned
.here and there, but every time she got
the answer: "We only handle the
Lee broom." And every time she re-
How the Sweat Shop Bosses Keep the
Wage Scale Down. .
Miss Leonora O'Reilly, of the New
York Trade Union League, not long
ago gave an interesting illustration of
how trade unions among women may
come to be formed. She said: "Where
I worked once a large lot of bicycle
shirts were manufactured, with a
great deal of stitching in the plaits
on the front. They paid us fifty cents
a dozen, and I sometimes could finish
three dozen waists a day. But a vig
orous German girl came, and the sup
erintendent told her if she would make
five dozen in a day he would give her
a $5 bonus. We begged her not to,
but she did it and got her $7.50, and
the next morning our price was cut
to twenty-five cents a dozen.
"But perhaps she did the best thing
possible, for because of her one day's
work we now have a shirt makers'
union. We must combine in order to
keep our men and women from being
actually worked to- death." '

EChillv Weathers
Cheerfulness
. These mornings make you think of the fur
nace, eh? And coal bills? But what's the use
of worrying yet there's lots of time. Chilly
mornings and evenings? They can be cured at
small expense smaller than worrying and feed
ing the furnace.
A Gas Heater
Does the Work
Attach it to the gas jet in dining room, sit
tiug room or bath room. No work, no worry.
A cent or two and the room is comfortably
warm, and the furnace out of business for weeks
and weeks to come. Cheaper and cleaner and
better. With the furnace you must use enough
coal to heat the house and most of it wasted
these days. The gas heater merely gives you
the heat you need, where you need it and when.
Ask the Users Their Advice
We'll stand that test you ask those who
are using the heater these days. Several thous

ber. We sell the heaters, good ones, at a low price.
