As will he seen hy reference to
the W. C. T. U. department In this
issue of the Herald, the ladies will
puhlish the names appearing upon
the petitions for saloon licenses in
Alliance this year. We suppose that
most of those who signed the peti
tions will not object to having their
names thus published, but it is prob
able that there are some who would
prefer that it would not be done.
While this Is no affair of ours, we
call attention to the fact that these
petitions, when filed with the city
clerk, become public documents, and
it is in perfect accord with the spirit
of the law, requiring the petitions
as a condition to the granting of sa
loon licenses, that they be published.
As we understand, the intention of
the ladies is to publish only those
names that are on the petitions . at
the time they are acted upon by the
council. If we may be permitted a
suggestion in the interest of harmony
and good will, it Is that those pe
titioners who do not wish to have
their names thus published. If there
are any such, have their names re
moved from the petitions before they
are acted upon. They haev a right
to do this, and there will no doubt
still be enough names remaining on
the petitions to secure the licenses
B. H. Ferry was elected delegate
from Sterling to the national conven
tion of the O. R. C, to be held at
Jacksonville, Florida. Next Mondav
he and Mrs. Ferry will start for the
southland, going via Chicago and
Washington, D. C. Before returning
home they will visit Texas and Cal
ifornla points, thence to Carlin, Nev.,
for a visit with their son, Lee. From
Carlin they will go to Boise, Idaho,
to see Mrs. Ferry's brother, whom
she has not seen since she was
eight years old. They certainly have
a most delightful trip mapped out,
and The Herald wfshes them all the
pleasure they anticipate.

prospects of becoming one of the
best towns In the North Platte val

mean a dense population of prosper

trips to Alliance to look arter his In
