POLITICS SAVIOR FOR LABOR
Washington Socialist Palate thu
Way ta Heal All In
dustrial Ills.
D. Burgens of Tacoma, Wash., candidate
for governor Of Washington on the socialist
ticket in the 1904 campaign, addressed a
meeting of socialists Thursday night at
Washington ball. HJs discussion embraced
almost all of the socialistic doctrines, but
his chief endeavor was ta show the need of
political organisation as a means to the ad
justment of nodal Inequalities.
"Labor unions sro futile," he said. "Their
leaders have betrayed them by the nun
dreds for money and office. ' Capital talks
about the sacredness of the contract and
holds It sacred only as long as It serves
capital's Interests. But how terrible a thing
It Is In the eyes of the employer for the
union man to break his contract! The
contract Is binding on you and me then, but
not on the rich man.
"What are we to have Instead to advance
the Interests of the laboring man?, I tell
you we mast organise our workers in the
political field as well as the Industrial; we
must get control of the government, which
is at present only a means for the rich to
rob the poor and occasionally each other.
Then we won't send the military down to
the mines to shoot the poor working-man.
Then we won't protect the capitalist In his
robbery -of employes. Then the man who
creates the wealth may keep It, and If the
jveople now rich want to enjoy the fruits of
labor It will be the fruits of their own, for
they will work like the rest of u for their
living." . ,,

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Ik It By (Starving It Either
IX a Substitute Do The Work.
Tbe old adage. "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy," applies Just ai
well to the stomach, one of the most Im
portant organs of the human system, as It
does to the man himself.
If your stomach Is worn out and rebels
sgalnst being taxed beyond its limit, the
only sensible thing you can do Is to give It
a rest. Employ a substitute for a short
time and see If It will not mora than re
pay you In results.
Stuart's DyRpepsIa Tablets are a willing
and most efficient substitute. They them
selves digest every bit of food In the stonv
acb In Just the same way that the stomach
Itself would were it well. They contain all
the essential elements that the gastric
Juiol and other digestive fluids of the stonv
acb contain and actually act Just the same
and do Just the same work as the natural
fluids would do were tho stomach well and
svnd. They, therefore, relieve the stom
achi just as ono workman relieves an
other, and permit It to rest and recuperate
and regain, its normal health, and strength,
This 'Vacation" Idea was suggested by
ths letter of a prominent lawyer In Chi
cago. Read what he says: "I wss en
gsged In the most momentous undertaking
of my life In bringing about the coalition
of certain great interests that meant much
to ma as well as my clients. It was not
ths work of days, but of months; I was
working night and day almost, when at a
very critical time my stomach went com
, pletely back on me. The undue mental
strain brought it about and hurried up
what would have happened later on.
"What I ats I had to literally force down,
snd that was a source of mlBery, as I had
a sour stomach much of the time. My
head ached. I waa sluggish and. began te
lose my ambition to carry out my under
taking. It looked pretty gloomy for me
and I confided my plight to one of my
clients. He' had been cured by Stuart's
Dyspe psta Tablets and at once went down
to a drug store snd brought a box up to
the office.
"I bad not taken a quarter of that box
before I found that they would do all the
, work my stomach ever did, and as a rest
-r vacation was out of the question for
me, I determined to give my stomach a
vacation. I kept right on taking the tub
lots and braced up and went ahead with
my work with renewed vigor, ate Just so
much as I ever did and carried out that
undertaking to a successful issue. I feel
that I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to
thank for saving me the handsomest fee I
ever received, as well as my reputation,
and last, but not least, my stomach."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 50 cents a bog.

at Portsmouth, England. May 28, 1834. For
some . years he was engaged In business
and at the same time did excellent work
as a Baptist minister. Feeling that his
calling was the sacred ministry he retired
from business and gave his entire time to
this work, serving several successful Eng
lish pastorates. In 1871 he came to the
nlted States snd held pastorates In Maine
and Ohio. While pastor of the Baptist

MUSC AIO UUSICUIS.
Very seldom Indeed Is such a charming
song recital given anywhere as the one
which Omaha people listened to at the
Lyric last night. Mrs. Mabelle Crawford
Welpton has been a fellow townawomnn
for two yesrs. This concert was her first
public appearance here since her marriage.
In the old days of the tent festivals on
Fourteenth and Capitol avenue she wss the
soloist with one of the bands Innis', I
think.
Mrs. Welpton has a messo-soprano voice
of surprising range and sweetness. Her low
notes have the contralto quality and her
upper tones ell the clearness and ease gen
erally associated with a soprano. Her voice
haa been exquisitely trained (her enuncia
tion being a study In Itself). She also has
the great gift of temperament. Added to
all this she has an alert, discriminating
mind, which she uses continually through
all of her work. Upon her program were
represented the modern French school of
song, the German and the Old English, to.
gcther with several works of American
composers.
The first number, taken from Msssenet's
"Herodlsde," "II est doux, II est bou." was
given with a fine sustained tone and great
dignity. Of the German songs Wagner's
"Traume" was most beautiful. Robert
Frans's "Im Herbst" was given with rare
dramatic feeling. Frant is almost the Isst
word In the literature of song, and few ar
the singers who appreciate and can convey
to an audience the exqulslteness and subtle
ness of his feeling.
The little Massenet "Pensee d' Autonene"
was another gem, and Chamlnade's "April"
gave a chance for the most delicate, web
llke work. Mrs. Welpton has thoroughly
sane Ideas on the subject of "values." Why
Is It that so few singers ever arrtveTat any
conclusion at all on thla,all-absorblng topic?
The romansa from "Faust" struck a fe
sponsive chord. It was very familiar and
given with breadth and repose.
It Is hard to say enough about the Old
English songs. They were simply, delicious,

quite earning away the audience. Never
have I seen the people in Omaha forget to
put on their hats when the final number of
a concert was finished (sometimes before!).
Last night they apparently forgot that they
owned hats. They Just sat, with no thought
Of moving, until Mrs. Welpton came out
and sang another song. She was extremely
gracious In her encores all through the
evening. Madame Borglum played the ac
companiments in a musiclanly and delight
ful manner.
It was a shimmering hour of unalloyed
pleasure. Surely we need not wait two
years for another recital.

Announcements of the Theaters.
"On His Uppers," George Ade's first effort
st sketch writing, will be seen at ths
Orpheum next week. It Is scarcely neces
sary to say It is a comedy and Its most
salient Investiture to claim attention is
bright and crisp dialogue, Ade's forte. It
will be. presented by Fred Lenox and com
pany. Another feature of next week's
program that will undoubtedly enlist an
unusual attention will be Captain Bloom's
demonstrations of Marconi's'' wireless
telegraphy. The three last performances
of the bill on for this week will- be given
tonight and Saturday matinee and night.
The coming of Sam Bernard and Hattie
Williams Is a welcome announcement, even
If their stay Is limited to a single per
formance. The impression made by this
pair of stars In their line when here In
"The Girl from Kays" last season has
added to the, Interest felt in their coming
visit in "The Rollicking OlrL" The stories
sent out from New York about this piece,
which was so good that It drew crowds all
last summer on Broadway, have caused a
general desire to see It, and the chances
are that the Boyd theater will be crowded
on Saturday night when the piece is shown
for Its single performance here. Mr. Ber
nard and Miss Williams will be supported
by the original New York company, com
prising eighty funmakers, and are equipped
with the best of costumes and scenery. The
production Is under the direction of Charles
Frohman, which assures its excellence.
"Why Smith Left Home" has been se
lected as the bill for the next week at the
Burwood theater, to succeed "Under the
Red Robe," which will have its closing per
formance on Saturday night. Director
Brown has carefully cast his company and
has prepared especially for the production
of the" Broadhurst farce, so that a fine per
formance is looked for.

LETTER SENT TO 0VERN0R MICKEY
Copy of Resolution Adopted by
the Association Hccommendlng
that Action , Be Taken Is
Farther Supported.
Following is a copy ot tne letter sent to
Governor Mickey by the Life Underwriters'
association of Nebraska, urging him to
provldo In hla call for a special session ot
the legislature for a committee to investi
gate the life Insurance companies chartered
by the state of Nebraska:
OMAHA, Dec. , 1W6. John H. Mickey.
Governor , Lincoln, Neb.: Honored and
Dear Sir Tho Life Underwriters' associa
tion of Nebrasks, all of whom are litisens
Bnd taxpayers of this state,- and among
whose mambershlD Is the president of one
company with lis home office In Lincoln,
and among whose membership are the sec
retaries of two companies chartered by the
state of Nebraska, respectfully ask that in
your message calling for a special seMslon
of the legislature you carefully consider the
following resolution, passed at tir last
meeting, vis.:
"Wheress, Investigations by the legisla
tive committee of the ste of New York
have disclosed practices and traiiMactlons
by officers of certain life insurance com
panies whose sets of greed and extrava
gance we earnestly and lndlgnuntlv con
demn; and.
"Whereas, We firmly believe that the ma
jority ot our life insurance companies are
honestly and ably managed, yet we discern
a reeling of doubt and hesitancy In the
mind of the public as to all companies;
therefore, now that the public conscience
Is awakened to life Insurance matters, we
trust that all the companies will bo ex
amined, In order thst confidence may be
restored and the public know who and
where the honest trustees are, whether of
companies located In the east or In the
west.
"Therefore Be It Resolved. That we re
quest and demand that life insurance com
panies chartered by the State of Nebraska
should be investigated by a legislative
comnjttee, or examined by an expert
actuary of such standing ns S. H. Wolfe
or D. P. Fackler, In order that the cltisens
and policy holders of our state may know
whether their policies are legally and
properly safeguarded and their equities
carefully secured r and thus make certain
that these companies have sufficient assets
firoperly Invested, to cover oil their llafol
Ities, and also ascertain whether undue
extravegance, nepotism or other bad prac
tice exist.
"The annual statements of the companies
of the state, sworn to by their officers and
on file with the state auditor, show that
they used between 85 and per cent of
their entire Income for expense of manage
ment; while the companies Investigated by
the New York Legislative committee and
those most severely criticised have used
for this purpose, less than half as much.
It the laws of Nebraska are not adequate
for the complete protection of policy
holders, they should be amended, and it
not complied with in letter and spirit,
the policy holders are entitled to know the
facts.
"We believe In Investigation; as the out
come will redound to the benefit of the
Insuring public, and to all companies
honestly and faithfully managed."
In asking this we believe we voice a
general denlre and sentiment of the citizens
of Nebraska, many of whom are Insured
lit home companies, snd who have a right
to know the financial condition of these
companies and tliuir methods of doing busi
ness President Roosevelt In his message goes
so fur aa to recommend naiional super
vision because of the Inefficiency of
state insurance commissioners and says:
"Recent events have emphasized the Im
portance of an earlv and eilianaii,, .n-
slderatlon of this question to see whether
it is not possible to furnish better safe
guards than the several states have been
i able tO furnish Sffalnjlt rnrrimriAn .
. j ..tr-. i- " .
",: U Wof a
iar Bincier hiiu more uniform regulation of
the vast insurance Interests of this coun
try." Governor LaFollette In his message rec
ommends a legislative committee with all
auuioriiy to summon and exam n n.
nesses and to thoroughly investigate the
dooks anu papers ot the life Insurance
companies and make a complete report.
The public conscience is awakened as
never before to all questions In which
they have an undoubted interest and right.
It Is a day of investigations, and when our
home companies shall be found, through
such an investigation, absolutely clean In
management, wilh ample assets, and our
laws so framed that the policy holder will
l sure of s "square deal." a movement
under your sanction and guidance will have
been completed that will enable the com
panies chartered by this state to do far
more business than they could possibly do
without such on Investigation.
Ti umlng this will have your favorable
consideration, we remain.

Chnrch Debt.
A Jubilee service was held at the Second
Presbyterian church last night to com
memorate the raising of the church debt.
This was about $3u0. but waa not In the
form of a mortgage, as had been stated, so
no mortgage was burned. However, there
was evidence of much satisfaction In the
goodly number of members and friends who
attended. A program, mostly congratula
tory, waa carried out under the auspices of
the board of trustees. This consisted of
addresses by Rev. N. H. Burdlck, Rev. J. J.
Lampe and T. O. Putnam. This was en
rirhed by several solos by members, Mrs.
Shellhart, E. N. Borell and R. C. Watson.
After the program the young women served
coffee, fruit and cake In generous quanti
ties. The entire audience repeated after
Hthe pastor, "We re out of debt," snd again,
V "We're going to stay out."

M'BRIEN'S LETTER A BOMB

rTENNINGS AND OTHERS CRITICISE HIM
Say Ills Offlce Is Distinctly rolltlcal
and Hla Course, If Pursued,
Wonld Wreck the Or
ganlsatlon. '
The letter of Btate Superintendent Mc
Brlen to Treasurer Hennlngs of the repub
lican state committee In which Mr. Mo
Brlen said he would not allow the em
ployes In his office to be assessed for cam
paign purposes and would pay his Own
assessment "as a republican and not as
state superintendent." has created , con
siderable surprise and some . indignation
among republicans who helped to elect
McBrien. The expression was made by
one republican office holder who did not
want to get mixed up In the affair, that
"McBrien should have told the commitU"?
during the campaign that his employe?
would pay no assessment so' the committtc
need not have looked after that 'particular
office, and not wait until he was In office
himself and had spent a large portion uf
his time building up a personal machine
among the school teachers of tbe state."
Another republican said:'
"It looks like McBrien bellovetTJe Is
stronger than the republican machine
which elected him. He was not crying for
a nonpartisan office when he was a candi
date on the republican ticket and It comes
with 111 grace from him at this time, after
he has been elected by' the republican
party."
Hcaningra Expresses Snrnrlse,
Treasurer Hennlngs said:
"I was very much surprised to get such a
letter from Mr. McBrien. His office Is po
litical ffnd lie was elected by the repub
lican party, which nominated him. His em
ployes hold their places by the grace of
tho republican party Just as much as any
other employe In tho state house serving
linden a republican official. As far as as
sessing members of the faculty of the unl-.
versity is concerned ot course We do not
do that. The regents get no salary, but In
nearly every case they contribute to the
campaign fund. Chancellor Andrews was
not asked for a contribution and neither
were the members of the faculty ot the
Junior normal schools. It would not be
right to ask them, but their case Is .dif
ferent from that of McBrien. Why, the
chancellor was elected by a fusion board In
the first place. Tnless we do assess the
employes of republican officials I don't see
how we can hope to Keep the republican
party together and conduct our campaigns.
We assess all other employes In the state
house and they are Just exactly In the
same class with the employes In, Mr. Mc
Dilen's office."
