The Eight-Hour Day. ""
President Taft's approval oi the
eight-hour act applying to govern
meat service is the consummation of
a great triumph for organized labor.
But it is more than that; it is a tri
umph for Bociety at large. Organ
ized labor deserves all the credit due
for the eight-hour day, for It was or
ganized labor that brought it about.
But organized labor neither claims
nor receives all the benefit and ad
vantage of the eight-hour day. They
are shared In alike by every member
of society who believes In the great
humanitarian principle of live and
let' live, and who desires to afford
the poller the best possible chance
compatible with fair play for self
Improvement. - Domestic peace and
happiness, sobriety, Individual and
collective mental and moral better
ment. Industry, Itself, have been en
hanced by the effect of the eight
hour day. It is too late now to be
gin; arguing its virtues; they are
proved principles. Men are now
thinking of the work day as eight
hours and with the official sanction
of the federal government, a moral
precept becomes a legal rule. . Eight
hours Is enough for anyone to work.
The person who cannot do a day's
work In eight hours is hardly worth
employing for, nine or ten. Society
owes a big debt to union labor for its
pioneer service. '
; Bryan Ferninit Parker.
. ( Reporter Bryan's eagle-eyed atten
tion to his journalistic duties la Chi
cago has not completely blinded him
to , the preliminaries In Baltimore.
He ' looks up from the newspaper ta
ble long enough to remind the
brethren in Maryland that he Is still
running things in the democratic
party. He even takes a chance on
getting scooped at Chicago to drop a
husky plug In that surreptitious plan
to make Judge Parker temporary
chairman of the democratic conven
tion. Strange,Jjje.eqejDiy. should have at
tempted to steal this march on our
fellow craftsman ' We .glory in his
spunk and take this opportunity of
saying that it is hard to catch a live
reporter asleep ' at the ' switch. No
doubt Judge Parker and bis friends
thought they would. "put: one over"
on Mr. Bryan while hewas buried
in his work at the reporter's table
or busy pounding i out bis copy
on a typewriter, but Jbey have been
foiled in their "crool" designs.
Politically speaking,' we might re
mark that Mr. Bryan took the stump
for Br'er Parker In 1904 and told
the voters he was the man they
should vote for,-though we have- al
ways believed he had a itfarble 'In his
mouth while he was talking. How
ever, he recommended a man for
president whom he now says Is unfit
to preside over a democratic, eonven
tlon. All of which simply shows our
fellow craftsman is still the big noise.
C No More Dirty Dolliri
Uncle Sam has just opened a cur
rency laundry In Washington calcu
lated to purge the dirtiest dollar of
Its taint. Those supersensitive uni
versities that spurned Rockefeller's
and Carnegie's gold because it was
tainted may now accept It without
the least fear of contamination. This
laundry guarantees all its work. It
washes and Irons out all spots and
wrinkles with Immaculate precision.
It Is a great adjunct to a beneficent
government. Just send in your bun
dle of dirty money, properly tagged,
and It with be returned 'to you clean,
crisp and par. It will neither be
shrunk by debased currency soap or
Inflated py. watered stock... What a
possibility for gentlemen who may
have' a jackpot dollar " or two ' on
them! ; Just think what a solvent
this laundry wouJd . have .been for
those patriots la the Illinois legisla
ture a couple of years ago. Hereaf
ter It will not be possible for one man
to corrupt another with money, for
all money will be clean. And what
a boon It will be -for 'our relentless
anti-germ crusade. Still, even the
shuddering fear of germs has not
made all of . us , apathetic . toward
money. . . .. .-.. ,
Expanding Eailroad Earnings.
Reports of railroad gross earnings
for the month of May. show a gratify

of the fact that grain and cotton
shipments were" "below' 'expectations.'
Railroad earnings Me very close to
the pulse of business' conditions in
this country and at times their per
sistent gains, become the' source of
unusual satisfaction.
With such a fair start toward
larger revenues for. the season, the
railroads have .a cheerful prospect
Crops on the whole will turft over
heavy shipments to. them, and. this
they are appreciating in , their In
creaslngly large orders for equip

roads are preparing to enlarge their
capacity all they can by autumn.
Railroads enlarge their capacity only
to meet enlarged demands.
It is to be hoped that the threat
ened paralysis of western roads by
certain employes, who have got into
a dispute with their employers, may
be peacefully averted. It would be
most unfortunate to mar the pros
pects just ahead by labor troubles.
Chairman Mack probably will be
continued at the head of the demo
cratic machine, for he lives in
strategic state, is rich and can ap
proach the big rich without getting

WHAT I WANT TO DO FOE OMAHA
By Thomas McGovern, City Commissioner in Charge of Public

I want to do what the people want me in fact, improving the lot of all- I be-

feel that I am first a public servant, here
to do the bidding of the public. If the
people, who put me here come to my
office and cannot find me and will send
me word, I will go to their offices or
homes, If need be, to find them and see''
what' they want
I want to improve Omaha's gradinr" av eu vT
and paving-as rapidl as possible. The
streets should be kept in (order and, while
this comes under my department and I
should look out for disordered streets.
nevertheless I shall have to depend some-
what upon others for help. If the people
will report to me streets that need repair 1

most faithful attention. I am the peo-v

Samples of Political Mud Throwing Sixty-Two Years Ago,

Because of the terrible tiring of the are statesmen and able men and they
mud batteries during the present presl-
dentlal primaries there are many titnor-
ous souls that believe that no candidate
has ever been so bitterly assailed as his
favorite. True, the presidential primary

entirely new. The North American Re-
