Dr. Wlleoa Reappointed.
rr. W. H. Wilson has been reappointed
state health Inspector by the State Board
of Health. The salary la $1,800 a year.
The late democratic legislature attempted
to legislate Dr. Wilson out Of offloe, but
In Its efforts to get every offloe in sight
It made a mistake and amended the wrong
aection of the law, and thus one offloe was
saved for an entire board to fill instead
of Just the governor.
MsrlliMi Oat of Polltlea.
Hon. Peter Mortensen. former slate treas
urer, was In Lincoln today enroute home
to Ord after having accompanied his son
aa far aa Omaha on hie road to school in
Minnesota.
"I feel better than I have for a long
time," aatd Mr. Mortensen. "My aon
wanted to develop bla muscles In order to
stand a chance to get on the foot ball
team, so he went to work on a farm. We
got an automobile and went out together,
and I worked with him. The result la
both of ua built up our musolee.
"I hear Borne politics, but I have no Idea
who will be the strong man in a primary
for a' nomination for governor on tha re
publican ticket. I believe that Senator E.
P. Brown of Lancaster county would be
a logical candidate if the fact that he Uvea
In Lincoln would not operate against him."
Mr. Mortensen said he had no desire to
get In the race, as Valley county already
haa one candidate, though Mr. Fries has
not aaid on what ticket he will run. Sen
ator Cady, Mr. Mortensen thought might
also get Into the race, though he had noth
ing to base hla presumption upon Insofar
aa direct knowledge la concerned.
Lights for Capitol Oronnds.
Former Mayor Brown was at the state
house this morning to get a blue print
of the grounds showing the position of
the electric lights that are shortly to be
up. The former mayor la going to aee
to it that the city erects lights at the
corners of the grounds, something he has
been trying to get done for many years,
but . which the city of Lincoln has con-
a'.stently refused to do. Now that the state
la preparing to light the grounds the city
Is going to light Its streets at the corners
of the grounds.
The claim was made at the meeting that
the expenses about equalled the Income
and little or nothing was being put by
for an Increasing mortality. The auditor
Informed the delegates that the cost of
the Insurance would continue to increase
and he, insisted on providing for mortuary
income. The auditor Insisted upon the re
peal of the present law which permits of
the transfer of any of the mortuary fund
to the general fund to pay expenses.
The speech of the auditor was ordered
printed so that tha delegates would be fa
miliar with the facts when they take It
up to discuss his suggestions at the execu
tive meeting tomorrow.

This la not the time to worry about your
fat. The thing to do Is to remove that fat
arithout taking ehanoes with the hearth of
the rest of ths body. . There haa been a
greet aemana xor several years for a con.
venlent reat of the body. There haa been a
tcnpiion wnicn naa met wrth such suo
eess in the past few years In the reduction
if flesh. Thin damand haa been met In the
shape of a small tablet that holds all the
principles' of the famous prescription and
at the same time enables a, fat person to
always be able to take their fat reducing
formula, no matter where they may be.
One of these little tablets taken after each
meal and at bed time will stop at once the
production of all fat and will remove the
fat you have at the rate of from It to It
ounces per day. - They are perfectly harm
less, contain no druga that will tear down
your system, but they do their work lust
as nature Intends It should be dene. They
go Into the stomach and atop that organ
producing fat. They reach fat wherever
It la located and assist the body in throw
ing it off. They require no diet no exer
cis. and they will not leave vast layers of
loose skin to make targe w rink lee like ail
fat redueers do. They are being sold In

robbery of the till of Leo Lung s Chinese

It won't cost you a penny to reach out
a helping hand to a great army of honest,
hard-working and deserving men and
women.
Just your moral support will Insure
work, a living and comforts which are
now either partly or wholly denied them.
How soT
Come on, let's have a look.
You've often been Importuned and many
have been commanded by advertisement or
otherwise to "refuse to buy anything un
less it bears the union label."
Looks harmless on Its face, doesn't It?
It really Is a "demand" that you boy
cott the products made by over 80 per
cent of our American worklngmen and
women who decline to pay fees to, , and
obey the dictates of the union leaders.
It demands that you ask the merohant
for articles with the "union label," thus
to Impress him with Its Importance.
It seeks to tell you what to buy and
what to refuse. The demands are some
times most Insolent with a "holler than
thou" Impudence.
It demands that you take away the liv
ing of thla 80 per cent of American work
lngmen and women. ,
Ia that clear T ,
Why ahould a email body of workmen
aak you to help starve the larger body?
There must be soma reason for , the
"union label" scheme. ... (
Run over In your mind and remember
how they carry on their work.
During a discussion about working or
striking in the coal regions, about 24,
000 men preferred to work, they had wives
and babtea to feed. Thjnon men said
openly In their convention that if the em
ployers didn't discharge" these men they
(the union men) would; kl? them.
So they dynamited about, a dosen homes,
maimed and crippled women and children
and brutally assaulted aoorea ot these in
dependent workers.
The big boys of the union wore taught
to pound the school children of the Inde
pendent men. How would you like to have
your little girl shortly grown from the
toddling baby who used to sit on your lap
and love 'iDaddy" pounded by some big
bullies on bar way home from the school
where she had gone to try and please
Daddy by learning to read?
The little bruised face and body would
first need tender care while you ponder
the inscription writ deep In your heart by
that Maater and Guide to gll human com
passion, "Inasmuch as ye have done It
unto one of the least of these my brethern
ye have done It unto me." Then per
haps you would drop to your knees and
pray Almighty God for atrength In your
right arm to strike one manly and pow
erful blow for baby'a sake, even if you
went to death for it
Helpless children were brought home,
wtth faces black or bleeding from the
blowa and klcka of theae fiends, teaching
Independent Americana that they must
stop work when told and pay fees to the
leaders of "labor." Thouaanda of men,
women and children have been treated
thua.
From somewhere. Oh Father. of ua all,
we try to believe that You look with pity
ing eyea upon theae brutal blowa, cuta and
acara on the many human bodlea made
In your likeness and Image.
They are beautifully and wonderfully
made, each the dwelling place of a Divine
Soul.
Ia It Your wish that they be crushed by
Iron ahod heels, cut by knlvea or torn
asunder by bullets and dynamite?
May we venture to think that a long
suffering patience la extended In the hope
that the men and women of America
may some day wake to a realisation of
the awful crueltlea pereptrated by thla
spirit of oppression and that they will
some day learn the lesson that the "sac
red gift of human freedom and liberty"
was given by God and must be defended
even to death Itself..
Our forefathers wre used by the Infi
nite God to establish our freedom in 1T76,
and our fathers gave freely of their blood
and treasure to establfah the freedom of
the black. Now again it seems we are
called upon to protect our brothers and
ourselves from that old time spirit of
tyranny which comes up from time to
time to force the people to obey tyran
nous rules and bend the knee of the slave.
In Wellston, Ohio, thirty Americans
sought employment In a factory. They
were aeeklng to earn food for their fami
lies. They were bombarded by rocks and
pounded with clubs In the hands of union
men.
One of the Injured, John Brannlhan,
waa taken to the city hospital with a
broken jaw, crushed skulland other cuts
and bruises. He waa the father of two
children, and was. thought to be dying.
Perhaps hs did. I don't know, but I some
times wonder what the children said to
Mother when "Pappy" didn't come home,
and how they and the little woman got
any food, and how they could place their
wrongs before their own American
fellows.
Mayhap sometime some kind person will
equip a home where the orphans and
widows of the victims of the Lbor
Truat may be cared tor and fed.
It would take a big home. It haa been
said there were Si Americans, many of
them fathera, killed in one strike, (the
teamsters In Chicago) and over 1.000
maimed, many for life. That's only one

IOWA CITT. Ia., Sept 14.-(Speclal.)-Eastern
capitalists are Investigating the
Iowa Clry franchise, and It Is probable
that a company will be organised to build
a city railway here next spring. I. R. Mc
Cleery of Chicago, agent for the eastern
parties, was Jn the city yesterday. He
made a thorough canvass of the situation.
"lesson" of these bullies. There are lit
erally thousands of cases wherein your
fellow American has been assaulted,
maimed or killed by these men. The same
work Is going on day by day. Suppose
you mske a practice of picking out each
day from the papers, accounts of brutality
to American worklngmen who prefer to
work free from the. Impudence and tyran
ny of self constituted leaders (?) than
to be always subject to their beck and
call, pay them fees and be told by them
when and where to work, and for whom.
You will discover the same general con
ditions underlying all these dally attacks.
In erery case the worklngmen prefera to
be free. He haa that right He then trlea
to go to work. He and hla family sorely
need the money for food or he wouldn't
run the rlak of his life. Many such a man
has wiped the tears away and quieted the
fears of a loving wife, left wtth a kiss
on her Hps, set his manly jaw and walked
Into a shower of stones and bullets to win
food for the loved mother and babies.
A good many have been brought home
on stretchers with blood ooslng from noae
and ears, aome cold, while some gradually
recover, and carry for life the grim marks
of the "union label."
They are your fellows, my friends, and
yet you auplnely read the account and
say "too bad." "
Have you grown ao calloused that you
care nothing for the sufferings of these
men who need food and these helpless
ones who rely on the life and atrength
of huaband and father?
Let ua hope that aoon you may be
moved by a Just God to rise In your might
and by voice and pen, by vote and right
arm you will do a man's part In pro
tecting yourselves and your brothers
from thla onslaught of American cltlxens.
Thla cruel warfare la carried on not al
ways to raise wages, but to establish
union control, kick out the Independent
men and establish the "label."
Unfortunately the "Labor movement"
which started many years ago honestly
enough, haa fallen under control of a
lot of tyrannical, vicious "men of violent
tendencies." y
There are too many to attempt to name.
You can recall them. They Include men
who have planned the murders of miners,
teamsters, pressmen and carpenters, shoe
makers and Independent workmen of all
kinds. Many of them have escaped hang
ing by an outraged public only because
juries became terror stricken and dared
not convict them.
Some have been punished slightly and
some, Including the principal officers of
thla nefarioua crew are now under sen
tence to imprisonment but have appealed
their cases.
Right here some apologist rises to pro
test against "speaking thus of laboring
men." Blesa your dear heart 1 isn't the
honest and real workman who does these
things. It is the excitable onea and the
tougha and thuga who don't work except
with their mouths, but have secured con
trol of too many unions. I don't even at
tempt to specify the criminal acts thsse
persons have aaslsted or winked at in
their plan for destroying free working
men and forcing men to stay in the
"union" and hence under their control.
The newspapers for the past aeven years
contain almost daily accounts of the
criminal, lawless and tyrannical acts
against American cttlsens and haven't
told half the tale. Right here It becomes
necessary to aay for the ten thousandth
time that there are scores of honest law
abiding union men who deplore and are
In no way responsible for the long in
famous record of the "Labor Trust" under
Its present management, but they don't
seem to stop it.
The men who manage, who pull the
strings and guide the policy have made
the record and it stands, as made by them.
Examine, if you please, the record of
a string of members of the American
Federation of Labor and you will view a
list of crimes against Americans, stupen
dous beyond belief. They defy the laws,
sneer at the courts, incite mobs and are
avowed enemlea of the peaceable cltlxens
of all classes.
This band wields an Iron bar over their
subjects and drives them to idleness
whenever they want to call a strike or
exact extra pocket money for themselves.
Men don't wsnt to be thrown out of
work and lose their livelihood, but what
can they do when the slugging and mur
dering committee stands always ready to
"do them" If they try to work.
L The poor women and helpless children
suffer and no one dares present their
case to the public. They must suffer in
silence for they have no way to right
their wrongs, while the notoriety-seeking
leaders csrry out their work.
These men cannot thus force oppres
sion on the weak and Innocent or use
them to bring newspaper notice to them
selves and money to their pockets unless
they can "hold them In line."
Therefore, with the craft of the fox
and venom of the serpent they devise
the "union label" and tell the public to
buy only articles carrying the label.
Smooth scheme Isn't It
They extract a fee from every union man,
and in order to get these monthly fees,
they must hold ths workers in the "union"
and force manufacturers to kick out all
Independent men
Can anyone devise a more complete and
tyrannical trust?

man could keep working In a free factory,
for the goods wouldn't sell no matter
how perfectly they be made. Then when
the factory haa been forced to close and
the employees get hungry enough from
lack of wages the workers must suppli
cate the union leaders to be "allowed" to
pay their fines (for not becoming mem
bers before) and pay their monthly fees
to the purse-fat managers of the Labor
Trust. Thereupon (under orders) before
the factory be allowed to start they must
force the owners of the business to put
on the "union label" or strike, picket the
works, and turn themselves Into sluggers
and criminals towards the Independent
workers who might still refuse to bend
the knee and bow the head.
In the meantime babies and mothers go
hungry and shoeless, but who cares. The
scheming leaders are trained to talk of
the "uplifting of labor" and shed tears
when they speak of the "brotherhood of
man," meaning the brotherhood of "Skinny
Maddens," "Sheas," "Gompers," et al, al
waya excluding the medium or high grade
Independent workers. .
Perhaps you have noticed lately that
the makers of the finest hats, shoes and
otler articles have stopped putting on
the union label. Naturally the Labor
Trust managers have ordered their dupes
to strike, lie idle, scrap, fight, slug and
destroy' property to force the makers to
again put on "the label." But for some
reason the buying public has been aroused
to the Insults and oppression behind It
and in thousands of cases have refused to
buy any article carrying what someone
named the 'tag of servitude and oppres
slon."
The bound and gagged union slave is
fined from 15.00 to 125.00 If he buys any
article not bearing the 'union label."

In Plymouth church, Brooklyn, saya:
"Union ihbor hatred for labor
burns like a flame, eats like nltrlo acid,
Is malignant beyond all description. But
the other day, a woman representing a
certain union visited many families in
Plymouth church asking them to boycott
a certain institution. Alas this
union woman's hatred for non-union
women burned In her like the fires of
hell.
' She was pitilessly, relentlessly and tire
lessly pursuing the non-union women and
men to destroy the market for goods, to
ruin their factory and to starve them out.
In the French revolution only 2 per
cent of the French people believed In
violence. The 98 per cent disclaimed vio
lence and yet the 98 per cent allowed the
2 per cent to fill the streets of Parts with
festering corpses, to clog the Seine wtth
dead bodies, to shut up every factory
in Paris until the laboring classes starved
by the score.
The small per cent element In the Labor
Trust which hates and seeks to destroy
the large per cent of Independent Ameri
cans sends out letters declaring 'free"
Industries unfair and tries to boycott
their products. Jf they could bind everyone
it would bring suffering upon hundreds
of thousands. Immeasurable ruin upon the
country, and land it absolutely under con
trol of the men now attempting to dic
tate the daily acts of our people and ex
tract from each a monthly fee.
There are babies, children, women and
honest, hard-working and skillful fathers
who rely upon the protection of their
fellows, when they seek to sell their labor
where they choose, when they choose,
and for a sum they believe It to be worth.
-Every citizen having the rights, priv
ileges and protection of a citizen has
also the responsibility of a citizen.
The Labor Trust leaders may suavely
"request" (or order those they can) to
buy only "union label" articles, and you
can of course obey if you are under
orders.
Depend upon It, the creatures of the
Labor Trust will, upon reading this, visit
stores and threaten dire results unless
all the things bear "the label."
They go so far as to have their women
pretend to buy things, order yards of
silk or cloth torn off and various articles
wapped up and then discover "no label,"
and refuse them. That's been done hun
dreds of times and is but one of the
petty acts of hatred and tyranny.
Let no one who reads this article un
derstand that he or she is asked to boy

I have tried to tell you something about
those who are oppressed, vilified, hated,
and when opportunity offers are attacked
because they prefer to retain their own
Independent American manhood. These
men are In the vast majority and include
the most skillful artisans in the known
world. They have wives and babes

These men are frequently oppressed and
have no way to make their wrongs known.
They are worthy of defense. That's the
reason for the expenditure of a few thous

the American people. Remember, I didn't

Some "parlor socialist' who knows
nothing of the Russian Csarlsm of the
great Labor Truat will ask right here:
"Don't you believe In the right of certain
workmen to "organize." Oh yes, brother,
when real workmen manage wisely and
peacefully, but I would challenge the
right of even a church organization when
Its affairs had been seized by a motley
crew of heartless, vicious men who
stopped Industries, incited mobs to at
tack citizens and destroy "property in
order to establish their control of com
munities and affairs, and subject every
one to their orders and exact the fees.
When you see work of this kind being
done call on or write the prosecuting offl
cera of your district and demand proced
ure under the Sherman anti-trust law,
and prosecution for conspiracy .and re
straint of trade. We have the law but the
politicians and and many a our officers
even while drawing pay from the people
are afraid to enforce It in protection of
our cltlxens and now the big Labor Trust
Is moving heaven and earth to repeal the
law so their nefarious work may be mora
aafely carried on.
But yon. Why don't you strike out and
demand defense for your fellows?
Put your prosecuting officers to the
test and Insist that they do their sworn
duty, and protest to your congressmen
and legislators against tha repeal of the
Sherman Antl-Trust law. Its repeal ia
being pushed by the Labor Trust and
some Jjlg capital trusts In order to give
each more power to oppress. Do your duty
and protest. In this great American Re
public everyone must be jealous of the
right of Individual liberty and always
and ever resent the attempts made to
gain power for personal aggrandisement.
Only the poor fool allows his liberty
to be wrested from him.
Someone aska "how about your' own
workmen?"
I didn't intend to speak about my own
affairs, but so long as tha question Is
almost sure to be asked I don't mind
telling you.
The Poaturh workers are about a thou
sand strong, men and women, and don't
belong to labor unions. The Labor Trust
haa, time without numbers, sent "or
ganlzera" with money to give "smokers,"
etc., and had Its "orators" declaim the
"brotherhood of man" business, and cry
salty tears describing the fearful condi
tions of the "slaves of capital" and all
that. But the "confidence game" never
worked, for the decent and high grade
postum workers receive ten per cent over
the regular wage scale. They are the
highest paid, richest and best grade of
working people in the atate of Michigan
and I believe in the United States. They
mostly own their own homes, and good
ones. Tllr wages come hi weeks in a
year and are never stopped on the order
of some paid agent of the Labor Truat
They have savings accounts in tha banks,
houses of their own and steady work at
high wages.
They like their dally occupation In
the works (come and ask them) and are
not slaves, and yet the Labor Trust lead
era have done their best to ruin the sale
of their products and force them into
Idleness and poverty.
It would cost the worklngmen of Battle
Creek (our people and about 1,000 others)
from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 a month In
fees to send out to the leaders of the
Labor Trust, If they would allow them
selves to become ''organised" and Join
the Trust
Not for them, they keep the money,
school the children and live "free."
That's some comfort for white people.
Once In a while one of the little books
"The Road to Wellvllle." we put In the
pkgs. of Postum, Grape-Nuts and Post
Toastles, is sent back to us with a sticker
pasted across It saying "Returned be
cause It don't bear the union label."
Then we join hands and sing a hymn
of praise for the discovering by some
one that our souls are not seared with
the guilt of being conspirators to help
bind the chains of slavery upon fellow
Americans by placing added power in the
hands of the largest, moat oppressive and
harmful trust the world has ever seen.
When you seek to buy something look
for the "union label" and apeak your
aenttmenta. That's an opportunity to
reach out a helping hand to the cduntlesa
men and women In all kinds of Industry
who brave bricks, stones and bullets,
to maintain their American manhood and
freedom by making the finest goods' In
America and which do not bear taa aeal
