Ir. ItiillArd's Address
"Ia the wicked forsake hla way
tad the unrighteous man his
Ifcoughts and let him return unto the
Lord and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our (Jod. for he will
abundantly pardon."
I believe there is no greater test,
ao more crucial test of reputation
. and character than a long continued
residence in a small community. In
the large city, where nobody knows
aobody, a man may be black through
and through with very little white
la him, and yet upon state occasions,
at least, he will pnss for some sort of
gentleman; but In the smaller com
laonity like ours, where everybody
knows everybody, the blnck and the
white that may be in us is quite ac
curately measured, and I sometimes
wonder If there Is not an Inclination
to exaggerate the black.
I make these remarks, dear
friends, freely admitting that I feel
a little timidity. Just a little tinge of
mbarassment. In appearing before
a audience of old-time friends and
acquaintances, to talk along lines of
oclal and moral race betterment,
nd I know of no other way to re
lieve myself of this embarrassment
ban that I be Included here tonight
m one of the audience and what Ut
ile may be said will, therefore, ap
ply to the speaker as well as to the
.hearer, and when I repeat the ad
monition of the prophet, "Let the
wicked forsake his way and the un
righteous man his thoughts," I am
speaking to I la Hard as much as to
oy of you. One thing, my brother,
-ay sister, I think you will agree with
ate, and that Is that if It were possi
ble to make a practical application of
the admonition that Isaiah made
thousands of years ago, to the heart
M every man and woman In llave
,)ock, Nebraska, In America, It would
fee the greatest boon that could pos
atfbly come to the moral and social
welfare of our community.
Some time ago Dr. Richardson of
London made the remark or the
statement that perhaps no class of
Individuals, no class of men. cut
down through the veneering and see
fce rotten wood of society like phy
jalcians do. and having been a follow
er of the medical profession for more
han thirty-seven years, I might say
he observations I have made during
iat time, coupled with a little study
perhaps along these lines, might be
termed the predisposed cause, and
Ibe little skirmish Into which I was
unexpectedly drawn last summer in
flallfornla might be termed the ex
citing cause of this effort on my part.
1 begin my talk, Mr. Mayor, Ludies
and Gentlemen, with the proposition
arhlch I believe Is Incontrovertible.
1feat the home is the unit of govern
ment; that the American home, if
you please, Is the unit of the Ameri
can government. If this be true, it
Must logically follow that whatever
Influence the home will Influence
the government; that Is to say, if a
Majority of the homes of America
.are good, then the government will
fte good. If, on the other hand, the
Majority of the homes of America
n evil, then we can only expect
that the government will be evil. If
large preponderance of the homes
f America are righteous and Ood
learing homes, then we can expect
Ails government to be a righteous.
God-fearing government. If, on the
wantrary, tha large preponderance of
fee homes of America are unright
eous, wicked homes, then we can but
-expect that this government will be
an unrighteous, wicked government.
If this line of reasoning is correct,
H becomes apparent right on the on
t that we inquire very closely Into
what this home is, this unit or gov
ernment. What is home? What
ahould It be? If I can take you in
my mind's rye down a little stroll in
the avenue, we will see the truth or
falsity of William T. Slead's state
ment of iso ne years ago.
Mr. Stead wrote that a home
ahould provide three things. It
should provide food, it should pro
vide raiment, it should provide shel
ter. We star down Ihe- avenue, and we
coon co i e to a beautiful mansion, a
magnificent structure. We stop, we
admire its grandeur. Its architectur
al beauty, and while standing there,
w mi on the front porch talk-
It.- . . n ot. He sees that we are

fed and sheltered.
We v n a little farther to the
end of the avenue and we come t i
bwuuttful little cottage. Kverythin
is clean an I tily about the premise.
It ! iMitti white. On the west side
la a vine growing; on the south l
the porch, a honeysuckle; out in tlf
yard we find a man working with hi
ehrubbery, and down further in tl
lot we .- i wo. nun feeling chic'

beautiful little cottage this is. win
beautiful home, and we begin ton
versatlou with the man. and we t' !
him that he has a fine Utile home
and he takes us around, through tlx
house, in the barn, and just befoi
we leave we again take an inventory
and we find in this beautiful Utile
cottage a tube rose, a Jersey cow, it
flyi.outh Rock rooster and six hens

man, are they that are lo be fed ai.'

der out from the town and we see In
the distance a little cabin. We watch
and aee the smoke curling up from
the clay built chimney. We get a
little closer, and we see clapboards
Instead of shingles. How they are
warped and curved from the mois
ture and the sun, and we say to our
selves, what a dilapidated, wretched
place that Is. We go to the door and
we rap. When we rap, we see a hole
bored in the door, a string comes
through, somebody on the Inside
calls, "Hello, pull the string and
come In." We pull the string which
lifts the latch, and we go In.
We see that cabin Just at noon
time. A long table made by two dry
goods boxes turned bottom side up,
two boards nailed on top of these
boxes. No tablecloth ,and about
some homemade stools, a nail keg, a
small box to sit on, not a chair in the
cabin.
In the middle of the table we nee
a large tin urn full of soup, and we
see some little tin cups around the
table, and they call the children in
for dinner, and there Is Adam, Alex
ander and Ueorge, and Jacob and
John, Mary, Elizabeth and Marguer
ite, Amelia I forget the other one's
name, but there were five boys and
five girls. There was the father and
mother, five boys and five girls In
this little cabin without anything in
sight for maintenance. These were
they that were to be fed, clothed and
sheltered.
I trust, my friends, I have briefly
given you a bird's-eye view of our
social conditions today, and yet we
haven't found home. We have sim
ply found the places where the peo
ple live.
What, therefore, Is home? What
is this home, the unity of my govern
ment?
The very nature of a physician's
calling takes him into a good ninny
homes, and I remember one time ko
lng Into a home, and Just as soon as
I opened the door, I Baw a motto.
"God IHesB Our Home." I am quite
sure I never saw a motto, "The Devil
Take Our Home." I recall that I
visited In another home. I saw a
motto. "What Is Home Without a
Mother?" and I have occasionally
seen a companion to that motto, us
ually off to one side, sometimes ac
tually behind a door, that, was,
What Is Home Without a Father?"
A long, long time ago, I saw another
motto, "What Is Home Without a
Baby?" Don't see any n.ore nowa
days, not very often. It Beems to
have become quite unfashionable,
perhaps has gone out of print alto
gether. What does this mean? ('all
It sentiment, call It science, God, fa
ther, mother, children, they In my
opinion are the elements to create a
home. That would be such a home,
that would he a right kind of a unit
for this government of ours, and
around a home formed as this, made
of these elements, clusters the fond
est and tenderest memories, the
closest and sweetest sympathies, the
literature Is full of today.

Price Asked Cause Husplclon on rt
of Purchaser, Who Noti
fies Police
Because George Bell, a transcient,
offered to sell a fine new pair of sil
ver spurs for half a dollar Instead of
ffi he land In the city Jail Saturday
afternoon and was fined $10 and
costs Monday morning by Judge Rob
erts on charges of stealing the spurs.
The dealer to whom Bell offered
the spurs for sale suspicioned him as
soon as he named the price and a few
minutes later Marshal Wheeler wae
locking him In the city Jn 11. Bell
claimed he bought the spurs from a
parly unknown to him for 40 cents
and was merely trying to make a
dime on the transaction.
A few minutes after Bell was lock
ed up complaint was made to the po
lice department by W. I. Rust that a
brand new pair of spurs which had
been left hanging over the horn of
the saddle when hlB horse was tied
on Box Butte avenue a few minutes
before, had been stolen and the Btol
en property was awaiting him when
he came to make the complaint.
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat it
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.

iOm1 I toads Maps
The National Highway Association
of Washington, D. C, has sent out
maps showing the proposed fifty
thousand miles of national hignways.
Their slosran is "Good Roads Every
where." Their efforts will be direct
ed toward national appropriations
for the building of a network of nat
ional roads in each of the states, and
over which the United States will as
sume Jurisdiction in the building
and maintenance. They will also ad
vocate Blate, county and town or
township roads, believing that the
accomplishment of the proposed
highways wil dlouble the wealth of
the country and treble the happiness
and efficiency of the people. It is u
noticeable fact In Nebraska that a
majority of lite good looking com
fortable homes are built along the
good roads, the majority of the de
serted houses are on the bad roads.
Everybody enjoys a good road and
detests a poor one. This is one
question on which all of our people;
unite, therefore we are all In favor
of "preparedness" by unanimously
advocating better roads, believing!
the national government will reap far 1
greater reward by spending the mon-i
ey In this manner than for an ex
treme war footing.

Boys who have been meddling
with mall In the mall boxes at the
outskirts of the city are likely to
find themselves In a controversy with
Uncle Sam. Tampering with mail be
longing to other people la strictly
forbidden under heavy penalty and
whether these boys mean any harm
or not. Uncle Sam is no respector of
persons or intentions, and should the
lads be caught it will go hard with
them.
A number of citizens who live at
the outskirts of the city where the
sidewalks have not been extended
have placed mail boxes at the near
est corner where the sidewalks run
in order to have their mail delivered
by city carrier. Some of these peo
ple have complained lately that their
mall has been opened, stolen or de
stroyed and they are quite confident
that the work has been done by lads
more in a spirit of daring or devil
ment rather than with any idea of
thelt.

offenders and no matter what the. In
