The Hemlngford Journal celebrat

It seems that our good friend ('as- i
per of the Northport Herald Is con- ,
t.nt to let well enough n-loe for
the present. He had announced that
ho would move his paper to Bridge
port the first of this mouth and
change the name to the llllrlgeport j
Herald, but he still remains on the
north side of the river. My remain
Ing where he is he has a cinch on ;

side, which at present are twice as j
many as those from the south side.

People, villages and small cities
some times get the idea that a
trowing town cannot become truly
metropolitan" until it has adopted
a wide open policy. Investigation i
would prove to them, however, that
some of the best cKlea have more
strict censorship and supervision of
public resorts and places of amuse
ments than obtains In many second-
lass cities. In the letter of A. T.
i. inn. published in last issue of The
Herald, he gives a (Blowing descrip
tion, of Baltimore, including its pub
lic parks and places of recreation
und nmnsement, but add Incidental
ly that the moving picture shows of
Hie city are closed on Sunday. And
Baltimore Is some city, too.

All loyal Nebraskans are pleased
with the prosperity ct Omaha, the
metropolis of the wtate, and Lincoln,
the capital. A statement Just Is
sued, giving the number of building
permits issued In February and the
estimated cost of construction, In
about eighty or the leading cities of
the United States, makes a splendid
showing for the two Nebraska cities.
As compared with February of last
year, the estimated cost of new
buildings for which permits were Is
sued, shows an Increase in Omaha
ef 71 per cent, and I7S per cent,
for Lincoln. Kansas City and Den
ver both showed a AecfMM as com
pared with February of last year,
the decrease of the (oritur being 50
per cent, and of the Intnr V- per
cent
By common consent the editor cf
h newspaper is commended for the
things published that are agreeable
to its readers und blamed for any
thing and everything that may be
displeasing. As a matttr of fact,
while the editor shape the policy

issues In general, lit performs only
j! small part of the work necessary

One of Alliance's young business
men who enjoys a Joke occasionally,
dropped into Mounts' barber shop
yesterday morning. and settled him
self In one of the chairs for a
shave we believe it was Dr. Bates
Copelan-d's chair. Said the business
man to Bates: There have been a
lot of Hemlngford men In Alliance
the last day or two. What are they
here for?" Said Bates, "They are
down here to contest the federal
building appropriation of $75,000."
"What," said the business man," are
those ding-donged, blankety-blank
people after now. Do they want
the federal building themselves?" He
followed this line of talk for a min
ute or two until he saw the smiles
on the faces of his listeners and it
dawned on him that they were Jok
ing with him.
Our esteemed democratic contem
porary, The Kushvilte Standard, is
oppesed to the election of postmas
tt rs, claiming that it Is a scheme of
republican politicians to hold the of
fices (hat rightfully belong to demo
crats. The Standard editor says that
or fifty years it has been the pol
ity cf the republican lairty to put
none bu' republicans in office, that
ln.d Tuf: or Roosevelt been elected
president the question would not
have been born, and that it is a
poor time now to make the change

It Is evident to the publishers of
The Herald that, the regular edl-
tiems of the paper must be enlarged
With our present force of reporters
and correspond! nts,, and the splendid
co-ope ratu n of the readers of the pa
per in seeming news, together with
the large advertising patronage. It
is Impossible to crowd into eight
pages anywhere near all that we wis
to publish. We believe that one
large, well-filled local newspaper once

skimped papers

YES
SIR !
"A cow that gives two quarts
of milk and refrains from put
ting her foot in it, is far more
valuable than one that gives
ten quarts and then kicks it
over.
And it's the same way with clothes, most
any suit or overcoat looks well when you
buy it, but the thillg that is most important
to you is how it looks after you've worn it
several months.
Let us prove to you, that the giving
of such strict attention to many little
details in the making of our garments
assures the wearer longer service and
better appearance. Quite a few men
don't care and don't notice the differ
ence but perhaps YOU are one of the
many who do. If so, you are just the
man who will appreciate the extra
painstaking tailoring in our garments.
Some men have the mistaken impression
that, because we sell such good clothes, our
prices are high. Nothing will surprise you
more than to make a comparison between
our goods and prices with those elsewhere.
Call and see our new Sprftig Styles and
you'll please yourself and the
