I t SEIGt ADVERTISIN J BY TE GENERAL OFICCS ..rV YORK AND CHICAC BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES I Ml KSDAY. JANUARY , 1911 How sre those New Year's res olutions porting? Now, all together, let's boost! for AUisnos ami northwestern Nebrssks. Tlif Valley Bnterpr.se, pub lished at Valley, Douglas county, refers to the last flection in Ne l)iasl;t an "simply a landslide for decency." Is'nt. this a delightful "clii nook" Wllld we arc having since the brief cold spell? It's appre ciated after a touch of weather in which the mercury reached 28 to 81 belOW zero. The ship subsidy proposition is about as unpopular with the country generally as tariff re vision upward, but our phleg matic president, hedged about as he is by Standpal advisers, does not seem to realise it. f you want to help build up your town and develop the coun try, be a booster and not a knocker. And that means to follow a "live and let live" pol icy. "The business world no longer knocks on a competitor." There are now Hve states in which women have an equal right with men to vote, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and "Washington, the last named state having adopted it woman's suffrage amendment to its con st it nt ion at the recent election. Republic of Liberia a Failure, Declares Dr. E. E. Neible, a Missionary. For making quickly and per fectly, delicious hot biscuits, hot breads, cake and pastry there is no substitute for Dr.PRIC Baking Powder MADE FROM GRAPES Tin republic of Liberia, on t lio western coast of Africa, Is u fail inc. Although tue people have beeu self govern ing for half a century, the state Is alout to crumble away and the territory fall to either Ureat Hritain or France. These are the assert Ions of Dr. K. E. NelMe, a missionary frotn the settlement of Muhleuburg, Monrovia, Liberia. "About the only thine that the black niau in Liberia ban clearly demonstrated since that country became a republic la his utter Incompetence to conduct affairs of state." Dr. Neible said. "It Is the racial characteristic to follow the lines of hast resistance, and about all the men seem to care for are plenty of rum, enough to eat and many wives. The mlsslous on the west coast have doue a good work In bringing civilising Influences to the people, but the hamli caps are such that comparatively small headway is made. Traders from Ettrope and the I'nlted States are unscru pulous In their dealings with the people, and the hardest things we have to contend with are the wrongs Inflicted opon them by the Euroenns and Americans, who flood the country with intoxicating liquors and Introduce vices before unkuown. Perhaps when France or Great Britain acquires the terrltr.v. as one Is sure to do In a few nnre rears, a chance will result for the better. At any rate. It can't be for the worse." One of tiie most effective ar guments used in stirring up op position to county option in the last political campaign In Nebras ka (if argument it may be called) was the statement that county option is prohibition. You'll have to show the people of Mis souri. That state voted down statewide prohibition by more than 100,000 majority but retains its county option law. According to our Washington corres))ondent, the appointment of Judge Robert W. Archibald of Pennsylvania a n d Interstatt Commerce Commissioner Martin A. Knapp to the federal court of commerce is satisfactory to Big Interests, particularly. fuvh bald, although the president may not have known it, was once up on a time the subject of a scath ing arraignment in a decision of the Pennsylvania S u p re tq 1 court, when an enterprise floated by him was denounced as -a "fraud iiHn the public" and a "disregard of the requirement! of business honesty." The suit was one brought in 1 885 hy Hill, Keiser iV. Co., in the Lackawanna county court against Arcbbald and others, dorng business as the Amity Coal Co., Limited, The suit was carried to the state Sn pretne court. The decision I gainst Archbald was written by the late Justice Williams, it de clares that tlie concern in which Archbald was one of tour pari net s was an "empty shell" and its business, conducted on afake capital of $2ri,0t0, a "fraud upon the public." The nomination of Commissioner Knapp is objected to on the ground that Knapp has shown himself to be strong ly in favor of railroad privileges r nd is therefore disqualified for service on a court which is to pass uion railroad questions. A socialist plumber of Read ing, Pennsylvania, who was elected to the legislature of that state announces that he "intends to raise the devil" when he goes down to Harrishurg, the capital city. The capital of the "Key stone" state is a mighty good place to find him, when the leg islature is in session, but we ex pect he'll 1m trying to do bus iness with sundry "political as sassins" down at our own state capital when the direct legisla tion bill is under consideration this winter. ARE GOOD PLAYS APPRECIATED Never in the history of Alliance amusements has there been as high class plays as have been produced at the Phelan Opera Mouse this sea son We have had "The Man on the Box ". ' Paid In Full". "The Cli max'", "The Wolf", "House of a Thousand Candles" anil several oth ers that are given good receptions in all of the principal metropolitan cities. Monday niicht was presented "Rosalind at Ked (Sate" in which some very closer acting was shown, and the play in itself was highly en tertaining;. The scenery used was beautiful and in all it wns ;i regular metropolitan production Yet we are told by the house management thai with all of these fine plays the patronage is such that enables the house to barely break even on ex penses while the show company suf fers heavy loss because of the high salaries paid the performers who c an he secured only upon high salaries. It is rather unfortunate for the reus On principally that it is sure to re sult in all good companies passing up this route leaving Alliance in the 1 hiss of small country Ullages that arc entertained by "Cucle Tom" and cheap repertoire shows with the hor rible melodrama and slap-stick pat formanccs. There are many people in Alliance loug on talking about how they would love to see good shows bin have no use for the poor ones, but when it comes to turning out they usually turn up elsewhere We are to have two nun' of these fine shows this mouth "Cast Aside" on the Uth and "The Kosary" on the 7th, aad for the general reputa tion of the city that there are peo ple enough here to appreciate good shows It is hoped that sufficient In (test will Is- shown that will enable the management to contiuite the high standard the opera house has achieved in furnishing the best of shows.
