SIGNS OF GOOD TIMES
The Herald has been advocating
the advertising of I his city and coun
ty in some way so as to get people
elsewhere interested sufficiently to
investigate the advantages of mak
ing Investments here. We are firm
ly of the opinion that It would be
one of the greatest helps to business
and would go far towards bringing
about an era of good times in this
part of the country. By proper ad
vertising a large number of outside
parties can be shown the advantages
of this country and the possibilities
of development and can be persuaded
to invest in land or city lots and im
prove the same. This will not only
make business for the real estate men
but will give a wonderful Impetus to
all other lines of business as wU
In this connection it is encouraging
to note that the number of real es
tate transfers in this county is on
the increase, as will be seen by ref
erence to the department of real es
tate transfers published in The Her-
aia eacn weeK. it would be ot no
particular benefit to business inter
esis here if real estate should be
purchased by speculators without be
ing improved, but it would be a great
help to business if purchased by per
sons who will Improve and develop
the vacant laud which they purchase.
Hy looking over the real estate trans
fers in this issue, it will be noticed
that a good number of the purchus
es of real estate are being made by
persons VM will prolwbly improve th
same. This is a hopeful sign of bet
ter time and we trust that tle mini
ber of trinsfers to such parties will
( ontint: u increase.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR SUCCESS
Recently The Herald published In
formation concerning a campaign that
has been instituted to increase the
ndowment of Nebraska Wesleyan
Tni'verslty to a half million dollars.
The following additional information
has been handed us for publication:
The endowment of Christian col
leges will doubtless appeal to think-
ng men as both desirable and abso-
utely essential. A modern college is
big plant with a necessarily large
expense budget, and must be con
ducted as a business proposition. If
such Institution is doing creditable
work It is assuredly worthy of sub
stantial support, and there Is no oth
er basis from which a regular and
sufficient Income can be derived for
he denominational school. Last year
Doane College, at Crete, completed
an endowment fund of nearly $300,-
000. This year the Nebraska Wes
leyata University, of University Place,
asks to have Its present endowment
fund Increased from $100,000 to half
a million dollars. With over sixty
thousand Methodists in Nebraska and
many other friends of Christian edu
cation who will lend a helping hand,
this endowment campaign should be
rowned with success and such result
will be highly creditable to the en
tire state.
The State University and our sev
ral Normal schools are fully equip
ped and maintained from the state
reasury, but all other schools of high
er learning in Nebraska, as elsewhere
must needs be supported by direct
gifts from the people. To provide
against the uncertainty of amount
and time of payment of voluntary
contributions, it is conceded by all
who have given the matter consider
ation that interest bearing endow
ment is necessary to the proper sup
port of all denominational colleges.
Therefore, all friends of Christian
education, whether Methodists or not.
should be deeply interested in the
present endowment campaign of the
Nebraska Wesleyan University. The
trustees of this worthy Institution ar
appealing to Nebraskans to increase
the present endowment fund of $100,-
000 to $500,000. From so great a
state this is not an unreasonable sum
to ask, and for so great a school as
the Wesleyan has grown to be, a
half million dollar endowment is not
a dollar too large.

Municipal Platform of Socialist Party
Alliance, Nebr.
As Socialists our ultimate aim is
to establish a democratic industrial
system where no Idler can live off
of those who work and where only
those who do some useful service
will be rewarded.
Today idle capitalists become ml
lionaires through the special privi
leges they posses, when special
privileges should be possessed by
none. The capitalists, through the
ownership of the great collective
tools of production and distribution
upon which the workers depend to
earn their living, rob and exploit
the millions of workers because at
these conditions of industrial depenaV
ence in which they are placed. A
small class, by owning the means ot
employment, compel the workers to
be wage slaves, and the final aim
of the Socialists is to abolish every
form of slavery.
Realizing, however, that this great
good cannot be attained until city
charters, state and federal constitu
tions are changed, we declare for
a practical policy for immediate con
ditions and pledge all our candidates
to do their best to improve the con
ditions of the working people of our
city.
We shall work primarily for the
toiler as distinguished from the so-
called business interests. We be
lieve in business, so-called, only to
the extent that it is performing a
useful service for the laborer, me
chanic and artisian and their fami
lies. We favor the following:
1. The abolition of the contract
system on all public work, a commis
sion of public works to take charge
of all city improvements and do tt
by day labor with an 8 hour day and
union scale of wages, the outlyinn
districts receiving as much service
as the business section.
2. The establishment of a city
laundry In connection with the elec
tric plant with a system of delivery
so that the wives of the workers of
the city can hav ethe home washing
dene by machinery at cost and re
duce the burdens of the housewife,
this measure to be simply a begin
ning for a general policy of operat
ing many services for the people as
one is organized and its efficiency
perfected another being undertaken,
adopting a gradual work of exten
sion. 3. The city ownership of land in
different parts of the city for publU
play grounds, parks and the erection
of buildings thereon for social cen
tres. 4. We favor the employment by
the city of all workers who are res
idents of the city and unable to se
cure work, the city to operate an
employment bureau
5. We favor a city hospital, free
to the residents of the city, a com
missioner of public health with all
necessary assistants to furnish free
medical atteution to all at the hos
pital. 6. We favor as a sanitary measure
regularly scheduled system of gar
bage collections, to be maintained
and operated by the cily.
7 We favor the publishing of a
monthly statement. of all public trans
actions, such report to be complete
in every detail.
We ask all who believe in these
policies to vote April 2nd for the
nominees of the Socialist party.
