WHAT UNION MEN SAY (Continued from page 1.) 1 know lots of "good fellows" who used to get 'home late Saturday nights with mighty little of their pay checks left, but who get home early on Sat urdays now, and the whole pay check goes with them. They are better off without the temptation of the open aloon, and their families are better provided for. Our Labor Temple pro vides a better recreation place for the workers than the open saloon, and I want the good people of Lincoln to help us keep it going along the same high plane "pon which we started it. For the good of Lincoln, for the bene fit ot myself and my fellow workers, and for the benefit of the wives and children, I am going to vote "dry" and I am ready to say so anywhere at any time. O. M. RUDY, Electrical Worker. Lincoln, Nebr.. April 6. You will see my vote recorded on the "dry side. I could give a lot of reasons why. One. is enough for me my own boy. I'm not going to make it possible to say some time in the future, helped him along the downward path by voting to put daily temptation in his way." Could I give a better rea son for being against the open saloon? W. F. PRIMLEY, Barber. thing, but like the proverbial rope given enough and too many of us hang ourselves. HORACE IVEY, Printer. Lincoln, Nebr., April 4. My reasons for voting against licensing saloons in Lincoln are many, and to my mind conclusive. My chief reason is my be lief that the saloon is a detriment to society, and especially to workingmen. E. L. GRUBB, Street Railway Employe. Lincoln, Neb., April 5. My first vote will be against the saloons. The fact that it Is my first vote is reason enough. E. M. RIGHTER, Printer. Hear John B. Lennon at the Audi torium Sunday night. Band concert before the speaking. Liacola, Nebr., April 7. I shall vote "dry" for two reasons. First, because there are 'two sides to the question the salooa side and the antt-Salooa side. I believe that those who vote for the licensing of saloons become partners and are responsible for all the evils eminatlng from the saloons. Second, I am a laboring man and I be lieve that the condition of such as I Is materially bettered, financially, physically and morally, by the ab sence of saloons. ' I am in a position to know this last to be a fact. There ' are . many other reasons, but these ought to be sufficient to cause any union man to vote "dry." FRED W. MICKEL, Printer. Lincoln, Nebr., April 5. After can did and careful consideration I can not see any plausible excuse for the existence of the saloon. On the other hand the reasons for abolishing " the liquor traffic are too numerous to mention. Personal liberty is a good CAPITAL AUXILIARY. The last regular meeting of Capital Auxiliary was held March 25 at the Labor Temple, Mrs. B. C. Gilbert hostess. Mrs. Pearl Ford , was given the membership pledge and Mrs. W. P. Hogard'8 application was balloted upon, she being unanimously elected to membership. Mrs. C. E. Barngrover has re- turned to her home in Denver, after spending some time visiting relatives and friends in Lincoln. While here she asked for a transfer card from No. 11 to become a member of the Denver Auxiliary. Mrs. O. F. Young expects to leave for Springfield, Mo., in about a month, where Mr. Young is now working with his father in the printing business. The next regular meeting will be held at the Labor Temple, Wednes day, April 13. Mrs. F. H. Hebbard, hostess. AMONG THE BARBERS The Lindell hotel shop is again open and doing business. It is fitted np In elegant style. Fred Primley is In charge and greeting old and new friends with his usual genial smile and happy "bushwa." A. L. Kemmerer has sklddooed to California for the purpose of visiting with his family and taking a little va cation on his own account. Union barbers in Toledo, Ohio, have pushed their living standard up an other notch without injuring their union or losing a member because of strike. After several hours' discus sion last week the journeymen bar bers and employers agreed to the (fol lowing wage scale. Twelve dollars a week and 50 per cent on all over $18 per chair. If a journeyman shall lay off any part of the week, but shall take in the limit of $18, he shall be entitled to full wages. Some time ago The Wageworker stated tfcat under the new agreement with the boss barbers the shops would close at 10:30 Saturday evenings. The editor has been forced to apologize and explain about 'steen times for the inexcusable error. And the bar bers have a right to resent the mis statement. After getting thirty min utes lopped off of Saturday's work, they have a kick coming when the fact is not made known. The real truth is and all the world should know it that the union barber shops of Lincoln, and all the good shops are union, will close at 10 o'clock every Saturday night. The Wage worker apologizes for its error; apol ogizes humbly. At 10 o'clock Satur day night, mind ye! Colonel Wood umpired the Antelope-White Sox game last Wednesday, and they do say he showed his teeth to the Sox every time they questioned one of his righteous decisions and they were all righteous. We'll bet a four dollar dog against a couple of two-dollar cats that we can find a score of union barbers in Lincoln who can umpire as well as about half the professional iimps that come this way. Quite Real. "And can't he act at all?" demanded HI Tragedy. "Well, upon occasion he can," replied Lowe Comedy. "For in stance, only today I saw him getting next to some free lunch and he acted for all the world like a man who was starved to death." . The Man Doesn't Mind.

Boyish Reasoning. "If you wuz to find one hundred thousand dollar bills in the street, what would you do with 'em?" asked one boy of another. "I'd keep em till they wuz advertised' for," was the reply, "and If a poor man had lost 'em I'd give 'em back to him." Lippia- COtt's Magaslna. Russian Use of Tobacoo. The tobacco used In the maa facture of cigars in Russia is partly grown in the country from Americas seeds, but the best cigars and the wrappers of the Inferior grades are made from tobacco imported, in the main, from the United States and Cuba. The bulk of the home tobacco is produced In the governments of Chernigov and Samara. Hear John B. Lennon at the Audi torium Sunday night. Band concert before the speaking. Unele Eben Says: "It beats all," said Uncle Eben, "how much mo' mos' men knows tout hoss racin dan dey does "bout de Bible and de constitution of the United States." Gateway. Costly Make-Believe. A West side mother has a little daughter who remembers the lessons the daisies taught her last summer. Not long ago the parent heard a little voice in the next room saying softly, "Rlchman, poorman, beggarman, thief!" After a while she looked in and there stood the child plucking the last cherished leaves from the rubber plant as she crooned her little fortune song. New York Sun. How He Was to Be Captured. "When you go in to capture that bandit," said the chief to his officers, "you are to do so with laughter and Jollity, for I have been told that we carinottakehlm seriously." ' How Vice Works. Before vice can fasten on a man, body, mind or moral nature must be debilitated. The mosses and fungi gather on sickly trees, not thriving ones; and the odious parasites which fasten on the human frame choose that which is already enfeebled. Excuses. Father. There are a good many varieties of household pets, but we notice father Is rarely selected to that position. Atchison Globe. A Cinch. 'It's easy to find out what time It Is," says the married man. "If the hall clock says 5:20, and the drawing room clock says 5:50, and the dining room clock says 6:05, and my watch says 6:15, and my wife's little dinky watch says six, it's six o'clock in our house." The Mule's Intelligence, "bat ol' mule knows dat plowln' time has come," said Brother Dickey, "W'en I gone ter de barn ter feed him dls mawnln' he had done kicked de do' loose, jumped two wire fences an' swimmed de millpon' ter de big woods.

He has left all his money to an ayslum for hopeless idiots." A New Art Firm. . "The reredos of the altar is com posed of seven gilt panels of Fra and Jellico's angels." Ludlow Advertiser. This well-known firm makes a spe cialty of angels. Fra's is supposed to be the Inspiring brain, and Jellico does the rest. Punch. Too Literal. An Atlanta grocer told more than he meant in his Christmas advertise ment: "Apples, Oranges. Imported Nuts, Fruit Cake. Shop Now and Avoid the Rush. Remember, the Early Bird Gets the Worm." Everybody's. V pioneer of Electric Railways. A model electric engine, built by Thomas Davenport, a poor blacksmith of Brandon, Vt., and operated en a small circular track in 1834, probably was the first electric railway in the world. Delight In Industry. Industry is, in Itself and when properly chosen, delightful and profit able to the worker; and when your toil has been a pleasure, you have not earned money merely, but money, health, delight and' moral profit, all in one.

"What is geography?" asked the fa ther who was testing his son's prog ress in study. "Geography," replied little Jimmy Jiggs, "is what yon put Inside your trousers when you think you are going to get a whipping." Washington Star. ' The Proper Saying. A correspondent asks: "Where did the expression, 'Cleanliness is Indeed next to godliness' originator' Is there a saying or proverb more frequently misquoted than the one given above? Substitute "goodllness" for godliness, and see if the sense Is not more la keeping with what Wesley said? V Folly In Making Lean. What you lend is lost; when yon ask for it back you may find a friend made an enemy by your kindness. If you press him, you have your choice, either to lose your loan or your friend. Plautus.
