"BUT YE ENTER NOT IN."
Toilers of tho World Havo Nono of tho
Thing They Make.
The fellows who own nud drive the
largest nnd most expensive automo
biles don't know the first principle
bout the construction of an auto
mobile and couldn't make the first part
of one If they wanted to. The fellows
who make these machines can't own
or use nu; of them. The uien who
own the big estates Id the world don't
know anything about farming aud
couldn't manage them If they wanted
to. The fellows who manage and
farm these estates couldn't own them
If they wanted to. The men who own
the rights of the big and powerful and
delicate machinery that does bo much
o the world's work couldn't make it
If tbey wanted to. The fellows who
make and understand every part of it
couldn't own It If they wanted to.
The fellows who own the railroads
nd the monster engines that transport
millions of tons of freight and thou
sands of human lives to different parts
of the world couldn't make an engine
or build a railroad If they tried ever
so hard. The fellows who make these
machines and construct the curs, the
locomotives and everything that is
necessary In transportation, couldn't
own an Inch of railroad or the wheel
on a locomotive no matter what their
wishes In the matter. The men who
own the richly appointed palaces and
mansions in every part of the country
couldn't make an lutelligible drawing
for a cupboard lo those mansions no
matter how much they tried. The fel
lows who construct these fine places
for the sports of millionaires can't
have any one of them and live In
backs and hovels.
It's so no matter where you look.
The men and women in the world that
Invent and build have none of the
things they make. The fellows who
do uothlng In the matter of production
are the ones that own not only the
product, but the producer; not only the
Invention, but the Inventor; not only
the construction, but the constructor.
Think of It a minute and then ask
yourself If there isn't something radi
cally wrong in a system that deprives
man of possessing the products of
his own labor and gives to the mun'
that Is not a producer and couldn't be
If be wanted to the labor and person
of the other! Ob, yes, there's a remedy,
but we are not trying to apply it; no,
not even trying to learn what is It.

When a man earns his money by the sweat of the brow,
he generally wants value received for every dollar he pays
out. There are some merchants who try to make the work
ingman believe they are his friend, and at the same time
"soaks" him good and hard when he buys something of
them. Benways have only the one price, the same to the
laboring man as to the banker, whether one is sold on the
payment plan or for cash. One's money is just as good to
us, let it be all in one payment or in several. We make it
a point to handle only
honest made goods and
in many cases the lines
we handle are hand
made, guaranteeing
first class workmanship.

UNIONISTS IN PULPITS
Sunday, September 4, is "Labor
Sunday," and practically every min
ister in Lincoln wil observe tie day
by delieering sermons on" labor topics.
The amount of interest shown in
"Labor Sunday" is evidenced by the
fact that the American Federation of
Labe-'v pronouncement in favor of it
. met with heart,-- acclaim by tb$
. Iprgymen of the c 'ltry, and it
actually called out fro ''ape Nuts"
Post one of his characleri. ii- tirades,
thus serving further to advertise the
day.
Several Lincoln ministers have kindly
invited union men to occupy their pul
pits in the evening, thus giving the
unionists an opportunity to present the
union side of the case.
At the Frst Presby'eriiin church,
Thirteenth and M, Tfyev. Mr Laurence,
part ci. ' ': J. Wright will speak in
the evening on the genera! topic of
"The Trades Union Movebent." Mr.
Wright is an eloquent speaker and
has the socialist campaign of this state
in charge. He will give to the con
gregation of that church a clear insight
into what the trades anions of the
country are trying to accomplish for
humanity.
At the First 'ongregational church,
Thirteenth and L, Rev. Dr. Shipherd,
pastor, will M. Maupin will occupy
the pr.lpit at the evening serviee and
speak on the subject, "Practical
Christ' nity. " He will endeavor to
show ti at the trades unions are t-;, in .;
to do i' practical Chrit!. ..11 :." ", al
though t is not done under that name
At it. Mark's Reformed church,
Fifteenth and R streets, Rev. P. M.
Orr, pa-tor. General T. C. Kelsey will
occupy i nlpit fit the evening ser
vice and speak on the general topic af
"The Trades Union Movement"
General Kelsey is one of the oldest
unionists in the west and he will tie
able to present the unWsists' side ef
tVe case in a elear ami tfisrceful man
ner. At the Second Presbyterian church,
Twenty-sixth and P streets, Rev. B.
M. Long pastor, Frank M. Coffey,
president of the Nebraska State
Federation of Labor, will aeeupy the
pulpit at the evening serviee and speak
n the general topic of trades unionism.
That he is well able to speak inter
estingly and convincingly need not.be
asserted
The Wageworker bespeaks for each
one of these labor speakers a good
congregation of men and wOTien with
minds open to conviction on the
subject of unionism. Doubtless there
are those who have an erroneous im
press;.?.:; of the union movebent, gained
throui.'. reading biased and unfairaily
precs. Let all such come out and hear
at first-hand what the trades unions are
really teaching and preaching and
practicing.
