TTTE r.HE: OMAHA. KATTTTOAT, PECErBFJt X 1010. 5 n Nebraska KNOWS THE SADDEST WORDS "It Might Have Been," Echoes to Gov. Shallenberger, at Ee De.lines Eid. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS FEED fhml Mnfcr a lilt at Clilmao l.lve Xlork Fair and Try Berkshire Iprrt to Come Here. (From a Staff Correspondent.) r,IN"COL,N. Lec. 2 iSpeciaU-Nobraska's ch-t executive has cause for sorrow and regret for whit mixht have been. He re ceived from the National Democratic dtib an Invitation to attend a banquet to be given In honor of the democratic governors elect of the country. In the list of gov ernors to be thus honored are the follow ing: John A. Llx of New York, J mi sun Harmon of Ohio, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, Eugene Fuss of Massachusetts, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut and Gov ernor Plalsted of Value. The banquet Is to be given at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel In New York City on the night of Decem ber 15. Now, If Governor Shallenberger had not aid at the Grand Island state convention that he would sign a county option bill, he might have been renominated. If he had been renominated he would have stood a much better chcince of election than he did stand after being defeated for renom lcatlon. Friends of the governor Insist that he alone was to blame for his defeat for the nomination. W. R. Mellor, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, has returned from Chicago, where be attended the meeting of the National Live Stock association. Governor hhallenbergwr, C. H. Rudse, George Hervey and other Nebraskans at tended the meeting, and according to Mr. Mellor, Nebraskans were pretty much In evidence In the association's affair a "Governor Shallenberger spoke to the (Shorthorn Breeders' association, of which association he Is a director," said Mr. Mellor, "and his address was the feature of the meeting. The governor stood out far and away ahead of any other speak ers and the Nebraskans who heard him felt proud of their governor." An invitation was extended to the Na tional Berkshire association to meet here next year and Mr. Mellor believes the In vitation will be accepted. Nebraska at Its state fair last year had more hogs on ex hibit than any state except Iowa, and as luwa got the show and congress last year, he believes Nebraska's chanaes are good for next year. People Score Ouce. The railway commission has granted per mission to the Nebraska Telephone com pany to reduce Its rates at Fair bury to' agree with the rates charged by the local independent company. It was brought out at the hearing that the independent com pany charged flX for telephones where there were more than ten subscribers and 11.60 where there were less than teu. But It appears that where five or more persons were subscribers with the expectation of increasing their number to ten, the leaser rate was given thern. The Nebraska com pany asked permission to decrease Its rates to meet the competition and when the hearing started the Fairbury company offered to Increase Its rates If the Nebraska company would withdraw Its application for a reduction. This the Nebraska com pany declined to do and the hearing went on with the above result. Crabtreo to Appoint. James W. Crabtree, just elected state superintendent.

Word has been received from David City that Governor-elect Aldrtch will be In Lin coln Monday, at .which time he will name a bunch of appointees. The supreme court has granted a writ of habeas corpus against Sheriff Hoagland of Lancaster county In behalf of O. J. King and B. T. Page, theoretically in the custody of tbe county official for having violated the pure food law. The writ Is made re turnable on January S, at which time the sheriff, through Ills counsel, the attorney general of the state, will show cause to the court why he should retain the custody of the plaintiffs. It Is probable that attorneys on both sides of the question will file briefs covering the whole question In controversy and the supreme court will lay down an Interpretation of the pure food law provi sions and their constitutionality. The case Is a test brought by agreement between the pure food commissioner and the National Biscuit company to try out the provisions of the law which demands that the net weight must be stamped on all packages of certain foodstuffs, among them cereals. The food commissioner Insisted that the National Biscuit company stamp the net weight on lu packages of biscuits. The company, through Its attorney, de clared the law invalid and asked a chance to bare the question settled. This was agreed, te and the local manager for the cracker concern and one of the leading grocer were by agreement made the means of reaching the supreme court ith the case. The application for a writ of habeas corpus was filed In supreme court, which has original Jurisdiction In habeas corpus cases, in order to avoid the tedious oeiays or the lower courts, both sldee agreeing that a decision of the highest tribunal would be beneficial.

The American workmen on the Panama canal are hard to please. Judging by the fact that the boilermakers have struck for an Increase In wages, for an eight hour day,-from 66 to 75 cents an hour, and for a vacation of six weeks with full pay. President Taft must have been correct In telling them that they are the best treated workmen in the world already, for besides a standard wage from 10 to W cents higher than In the same trades In the United States, they receive from the government sleeping quarters, fuel, lights, medical attention, nursing and exceptional facilities for amusement and recreation all for nothing. Their food is furnished by the government at substantially the cost price. , According to official reports, the gov ernment on the Isthmus runs the Hotel Tlvoll, eighteen Isthmian canal commis sion hotels, nineteen European laborers' messes and twenty common laborers' kitchens. The Hotel Tlvoll waa run last year at the nominal profit of $4,674. In the eighteen "line" hotels, t,17,461 meals were served at SO cents a meal. The cost of supplies per meal was M.87 cents, and the cost of preparing and serving raised the cost to M cents. The government made no profit whatever, and was content If the employes served at these hotels were satisfied with their food. The total num ber of rations furnished in the European meases was 1.0BZ.IS7. at a cost of about 17 cents per ration. The total revenue from the "line" hotels, messes and kitchens waa H.3oO,6T4, a decrease of fldS.Saj over the previous year. The subsistence depart ment as a whole was probably run at a loss to the government. There Is an elaborate system of free club houses In the canal sone for the benefit of the employee. In the last fiscal year a new one waa built at Gatun at a ooat of lil.SIX and a smaller one at Porto Bello at a coat of $4,426. There were four other club-houses already erected at vari ous points along the line of the canal. The canal commission appropriated til for the malatenance of these club houses. If a workman falls 111. he la sent to a government heapltal and taken oars of by the best physicians and nurses. without any extra cost to himself. So ex cellent Is the sanitation and medical serv ice that last year there were only seventy six deaths among the several thousands of Americans at work on the Isthmus, and only thirty-nine bad to be daported as unfit for service In the tropics. In spite of all these benefits, ro excep tional In character, the government finds constant difficulty In keeping the so- called "gold force," that Is, the employ paid In gold, recruited to the required number. In the last fiscal year there a t re 1.114 changes In the total force of b.IZZ, or more than GO per cent. The conditions of labor In the tropics I doubtless the cause of this chronlo unrest, and the tendency to strike exhibited by men earning over $5 a day, who demand a vacation of six weeks without lots of pay. Indicates that It Is quite hopeless for the government to make Its employes In tbe canal sons perfectly contented. It lite pensions should be offered every gov ernment employe In canal work, the pen sions to begin with the completion of the great work, the grievances would pile up faster than ever. Pensions? The United States may yet be called upon to pay them to the canal builders. Springfield Uepublicaa. "Berlin has solved the problem of making non-employment respectable and self-respecting." said Harry B. Pardee of Pitts burg, who visited the various European countries, making an exhaustive study of the subject of the unemployed. "The agency through which It to accom plished is a central labor exchange main tained through the co-operation of the municipality, workers and trade unions. Ia splendid and extensive quarter of Its own In the heart of the east central wholesale district, the A r belts Kachwela su Berlin places the man or woman In search of work on the same dignified trading level as the brokers who have produce to aelL ft does more. On the Berlin labor ex change, while awaiting a market, labor It provided with a home which Is a club house and mart combined. A model of German paternal organisa tion and thoroughness." continued Mr. Pardee, "the labor exchange Is operated at cost of less than $26,000 a year. Te see the simple machinery of this Institution In motion Its entire operating staff Is only twenty-seven Is to come away wondering at so practical a system for bringing the unemployed and working opportunities to gether on a basis of the paupering in fluence of charity. Any unemployed person may Invoke the exchange's work finding facilities on pay ment of a registration fee of S cents.

In the skilled trades special hours are set apart for various Industries, so that different trades may use the same quarters at different times. "Connected with the exchange there are meeting rooms, libraries, gymnasiums, din ing room and every requisite of a first class dub house.

Of course, there may be had regular dinners.
