Men's Wages and Morals.
The Illinois ' senate welfaro com

into the rolatlon of low wages to
feminine degradation without reach
ing conclusive results, is now about
to extend Its Investigation to tho
mon, upon t'ho' dictum " ot Prof.
Graham Taylor, a rocognUod social
science authority, that "low wages
paid to mon have as much lo do with
Immorality as low wages Wld to
women."
That low wages may conceivably
btconjo'a factor in moral delinquency
Is not open to dispute, but the point
sought is Just how much of a factor
it is and that point is jot obscuro.

not marry, nut llvo immorally be
cause of inadequate wage. So also

The Gospel of Love.
8HELTON, Neb., June a. To the Edi
tor of The Bee: "E. O. M." cannot see
how the world is going to be benefitted
by discarding the doctrine of fire and
brimstone, and I answer It can be greatly
benefitted by substituting the gospel of
Christ, which Is neither fear nor a bribe.
but love. Love Is an emotion, and that
emotion Is contagious, and It Is written
"we lovo Him because He first loved us."
The preachers seem not to know that the
fundamental principle of Christ's gospel
Is the adoration ot another, the conse
quent abnegation of self. As He said,
"lit1 that would save his soul shall lose
It. He that would lose his soul shall
suve It," which Is a negative statement,
but Implies a positive Just as plainly as
though It was stated. We know that
this is Just " 'tother way to" from the
way the church teaches, but we Insist
that Christ's words are true that that
statement was Just as true before He ut-
tcied It as It Is since. The business ot
tho church Is to preach the gospel, and
leave the results with God.

Free Speech for the 1. W. W.
OMAHA, Juno 4.-To the Editor
ot The Bee: Rumors of a threatened
strlko in the pocking house industry has
been rife for some time and it is certain
to break In the near future. That the
low wages paid by tho packers Is the
cause for the unrest that prevails among
this Industry Is also certain. This Is
known by the heads of the packing
houses, and they are using every means
In their power to avert trouble and
prevent a strike. A successful strike
against the packers cannot be won un
less alt engaged In tho packing houses
should be thoroughly organized and when
called out should quit work in a body.
The lessons of the.packinjg house strike
in 10O4 should not be forgotten. The ac
tion ot the city officials and their atti
tude towards the men should not be for
gotten. Tho men you elect' to office play a very
Important part, when you resolve to bet
ter your condition In life and secure a
few more crumbs from the plates of your
master. Look well and weigh carefully
their words and actions in this Impending
crisis. The arm of the police power of
the city government of South Omaha has
already been invoked and backed up by
the city attorney. Meetings of the In
dustrial Workers of the World have
beon broken up, and Its members ordered
to leave the city. This usurpation ot
power should be promptly resisted by alt
decent citizens, and officials ot our gov
ernment should be given to understand
the rights of a peaceful assemblage of
the people. Free speech and a free press
are guaranteed us by the constitution of
the United States, and its meaning
Is simple enough so that it needs no new
Interpretation from the city attorney's
office or the chief of police.
I have, never yet seen trouble at any
meetings of tho Industrial Workers ot
the World or socialist gatherings that
did not originate by their opponents and
the police who were ordered by those
higher up to break up the meetings.
The right or wrong Idea of the or
ganisation and its; purposes of the In
dustrial Workers of the World Is not a
matter for the city government to de
cide. The duties ot their offices are
known by them and I am quite sure that
the form of an organization which a
worktng man should Join to better his
condition is not In the province of the
police officials. Breaking up meetings
which are held peacefully without vio
lating the law, would lead those who
reason the pro and con that the packers
are having something to do with the
police, and, besides, suppressing free
speech might result In conditions far be
yond the pow.er of the pollco to check,
and It will not be to their credit, either.

Little Stories and Talks About
Advertising
(Copyright, 1913, by Harry Scherman)
Selling $1,000,000 Worth of Goods Over-Night
One of the most interesting advertising campaigns
ever conducted showing the value of newspaper adver
tisingwas that run a few years ago by the E-M-F Auto
mobile Company, which is now absorbed in another con
corn. The firm had contracted to sell Its entire outout through an
other organization. This latter house refused to take the cars and
the E-M-F president cancelled tho contract overnight.
The company had $1, 000,0.00 worth of automobiles on hand,
and for certain legal reasons, it was necessary practically to sell
this entire product by O o'clock the next morning.
Advertisements were at once placed by telegraph in
newspapers all over the country. 'The advertisements
notified dealers from coast to coast that the company
was ready to sell its entire product direct.
Within ten days, when the suit same to trial, the
company was able to placa in the judge's hands orders
AGGREGATING NINETEEN MILLION DOL
LARS, on everyone of whieh there was a substantial
deposit from dealers.
The moral of this tale was expressed clearly by E. Leroy
Pellatler, who handled the advertising, when he orlglnaUy told the
story In Printer's Ink. Ho said:
"1 do not know of any othor media, (tban the newspaper)
through which such INSTANT ItKSUITS-could bo. obtained.'' j
The newspaper is the logical medium for EMER
GENCY Advertising. It should not always be expected to
accomplish such remarkable feats. But it is always well
to consider, like this E-M-F president, whether what
SEEMS impossible is really so. Newspaper advertising
has made many a merchant narrow his definiti6n of tho
"impossible."
A representative of Tho Bee will he glad to call and give
advice and assistance to Intending advertisers. Phone Tyler 1000."

ALL ROADS LEAD HOME.

From out the valley four roads wind
away ....
Like pale brown ribbons In a grassy
sea.
And one leads south, another north liet

And east and west afar the others stray
Which shall I follow? East, to the old
home . ... . .
Where once the hand of love held wide
the door?
Westward, where still adventure goes
And the great prairies welcome feebthat
loam?
Shall I jw routli, where winter roscf
bloom.
And spring usurps all months of the
bright year?
Or north, where the great pines make
music clear
And the long winters robe the world In
gloom?
Why should I choose? The home my
youth held dear
Is but a shell w.ith strange, unfriendly
mien;
Less weary hands adventure's fields
may glean,
Too far, too strange, the west whost
strength I fear.
