All the work is done in Lin coln, and Lincoln wage earners do it. The men who publish it are Lincoln business men. whose every interest Is in Lancaster county. Apart frorn this it is the most complete directory ever issued for the community. . In addi tion to containing the names of all males over 21 years of age, it will contain the names of all Lancaster county taxpayers, a complete direc tory of Havelock, University Place, College View, and Bethany, and the names of wives who are propertyhold ers in their own right. It will also be "thumb indexed," and contain many other valuable and handy features. The North Directory has given sat isfaction in the past and there is every reason why it should be patronized to the exclusion of outside directories. The money spent for or invested in the North Directory Is 'kept in Lincoln. FAIR BARBER SHOPS. You Will Find the Union Card in the Following Places.

Secretary. n CHURCH AND LABOR. How Far Can the Church Go in Sup porting Organized Labor? . A few days ago an excited trades union official held me up in a labor hall by reading a telegram sent to him by the secretary of a central labor union somewhere on the Pacifiocoast, which telegram insisted that I should Immediately change the decision of the trustees of a certain church, who had awarded a contract for a new church building to a non-union build er. I had never heard of the church, never heard of the preacher, and hadn't the slightest notion as to who the .trustees were. The contract had been agreed upon, and, presumably, the builder was already on the job. And simply because I am a trades union ist, and have repeatedly r stated my conviction as an individual, that trades unionism is a good thing, and that every workingman should be come a member of the union, it was assumed that I could accomplish by a' wave of the hand, or by a threat of excommunication, or some other dire calamity, the task which these local trades unionists had failed to perform. Because I frankly told my challenger that I really could not reverse the de cision of these men, he roundly abused me in his local labor paper. I did not mind the abuse. I have be come quite accustomed to getting jt both from the church and from labor. But the incident gives me the oppor tunity to make Just one point which should be perfectly clear in the mind of every trades unionist, when he crit icises the church for not heartily en dorsing Organized labor as such. I have repeatedly stated on the plat form and in the press that the church cannot advocate socialism or any other economic theory, because there may be an honest difference of opin ion concerning the matters among the membership of the church. However, the workingman has a perfect right to insist that the church shall stand bv him In his fight for better living condi- tioons, a reasonable number of bours 11 ii larpi Frifa Below we quote some tempting prices for some temptingly pretty Christmas presents.

' !- ' ' ' f' ' ' "' :' a living wage, and a square deal in everv other particular, but and I say this with perfect frankness the trades unionist has no right to expect tbo churcb to help him maintain his or ganization, any more than the church man has a right to insist that the trades unionist shall maintain the church. If it is right in one case, it must be right in the' other. If the trades unionist declares that the church must stand unequivocally for organized labor, then the ch'urchmem ber has an equal right to insist that the trades unionist must stand un euuivocallv for the church, for they both declare for higher standards of i morals and ethics, better homes, bet ter schools, and better living inNevery way. ' It seems to me that for the church to say that the contentions of organ ized labor for improved conditions are just, without committing Itself in any way to a particular system whereby these conditions are to be secured, is all that anybody has a right to expect of it. The church must not stop at the point of passing resolutions, but it must be given the right to work with every or any movement which is fighting for the securing of fairer conditions. The Catholic church, the Protestant phurch and the Jewish church may work together in thJs i struggle, even though they may not accept each other's religious platforms, but in so far as they agree upon the things for which they are contending, they should present a united front. If this liberty is granted the church, it will be very much easier for , the churchy to work together with the union in the accomplishment of spe cific reforms. The real test of the church's sincerity in the matter of its sympathy for the trades unionist in this struggle for better things is not in the mere "recognition" of his union, but in its willingness to help him se cure the practical things which he is after. -This it can readily do when the issue has a moral basis, as in the case of a fight for little children, for weak women, for dowh-trodden men, for a weekly rest-day, for a living wage, for decent living conditions. When the question at stake is merely a matter of expediency, of jurisdiction, of a rec ognition of the union, or a similar mat ter, then the churcb must have the right (to remain neutral, just as ,the trades union would not be expected to take sides were the church to take up the matter of denominational differ ences, of creeds or forms of govern ment. As individuals, we may think as we please about the affairs of the church or of labor, but we cannot as sume to commit our organization- either church or laboi? to any system outside of their peculiar province... ;
