There rems to have developed
within Xh) fertile minds of Home of
the uluriiiisid of Alliance a i'ull
j;ion, lile-tded disposition to give
to the outside world the impression
thut Alliance business men are
uslcep at the switch and that tin- cily
Js Milking no forward progress. For
all thia there is without doubt a tea
eon, but there n also every justillca
tiou for bcLeviiig that this rv.taon is
personal, i.uif aud simple, and uoth
ing more.
Mranw:o as it may seem the Haid
alarmists ate those who lor mouths,
yes years, have tooled Alliance a
horn loiis and loud and the same
persona who have alwayu heretofore
prided Iheuiaeives on beam a. potent
part of the bus-inesa pet sonnet of the
llvest, most wide-awake town iu
western Nebraska. They have boast
ed, and Justly, that Alliance baa at
tained honors; has gotten things that
no either competitor In the territory
could have gotten, because of the
progresBlvenesa of the Alliance peo
ple. Why the change In heart now?
Insofar as the building ot the
Burlington railroad shops are con
cerned, and we have It from HIGH
ER authority, there Is no Just cause
for alarm on the part of Alliance.
Summed up the truth In the matter
Is simply this: If the C. B. & Q.
officials decide after the reports have
been received from their engineers
that Alliance is the logical, profitable
location of the proposed shops, theu
Alliance will get them; if on the
other hand they decide another loca
tion will prove more feasible, she
will not. There can be no argument
against our keeping in touch with
the situation and showing a disposi
tion of co-operation, but railroads
are built upon one basis, and one
only that of proUtable prospects.
The Community Club, through its
secretary, Mr. Uufus JoneH, whose
experience In such matter should be
ot real value to the club, and its di
rectorate and membership of real
business men, may be relied upon to
do all this and when this "bunk"
peddled by the alarmists has long
been forgotten the , club will bo
putting across those very things that
can be put across only by the proper
proceedure and after the matters have
been sifted through the proper sands
by those interested.
Again let us remark: "There is no
cause for alarm!"
And still again, Jet us ask: "What
Is the real, underlying reason for the
childish effort to create dissatisfaction?"
CItKDIT HHF.IU; CKKDIT IS DUIO.
In these days of competition when
ome men are chasing credit and to
others the proper credit conies un
solicited there occasionally comes to
the particular notice of those who
are really accomplishing things, the
wild efforts of someone to assume
credit which is not due. The Herald
has no disposition whatsoever to
deny any deserving worker every
poBsible credit, but It does not take
exactly kindly to credit which is en
tirely self-assumed. During the past
few weeks and upon several different
occasions there have been attempts
made by those who crave the lime
light more than they regard the feel
ings of others to surround them
selves with glory which was unearn
ed. There have come claims on the
part of our esteemed contemporary
that seemed lll-tlmed and without
foundation and appeared to be the
fruits of a craving to get into the
spotlight by means fair or unfair,
lie this as it may, there have been
conditions which entered into the in
cidents that would have made impos
sible the proper placing of such
credit where the attempts were made
to place it if fairness was to be con
sidered. .
The Herald, as we have above
stated is glad, more than glad, to
Rive credit where credit is duo and
were such to be due the Prince of
Hades far be it from us to deny him
Buch, but for our part we cannot
conceive of any Just measure which
concedes to the publisher of a coun
try newspaper the entire credit for a
community's progress and for a city's
progreseiveness. True It la the
newspaper plays its part and that
part If properly played is one of the
important ones, but it takes more
than one actor to stage a good show.
To those to whom credit Is due
give the credit and rarely if ever, will
you catch the deserving ones chasing
the credit. If you do, keep your
eagle eye peeled; there's a colored
man In the woodpile or we'll miss
oflr guess.
Till! PEOPLK WANT TO FNDEIU
STAND.
The people's wish to understand
the reasons which Impel the United
States to ratify the treaty as a means
ot terminating the war with Ger
many, and to enter the League ot Na
tions ,s a guarantee against further
Inter-national conflicts. Is the most
eorp:u"!s i'-atii of 'the Presi
dent's tour. The Senatorial oppon
ents of the LiMuiif anil the treaty
have continued their obstruction not
because they have failed to under
stand, but because they refuse to
subordinate person;;! ajul political
bias in the interest of the country.
In nil great issues in the history of
the 1'uited States, the people have
shown a williiwiH-ss to make their
decisions upon the facts and- accord
ing to their conscientious Judgment.
Vl tli last analysis, there Is little
pin tisar.ship among the masses.
They may nt times be moved by oen-tiin-nt
in their choice of candidates
for personality may attract or re
pel them but in every matter of
policy thy have uniformly . Judged
and aete.f solely upon what they con
sidered Its merits.
3'he question of ratifying the
treaty and of approving the covenant
of the Leacue is not In any sense
partisan. The President is making
that abundantly clear. No Repub
lican need desert his party to favor
the League. He may act as an Am
erican iu this crisis without ceasing
to be a Republican. When that
truth is impressed on his hearers and
readers by the President, the oppon
ents of the League will appeal in
vain to the partisanship of their fel
low Republicans among the people.
And It is evident from their desire to
understand to learn the facts that
the people will accept the President's
view and give him their support.
IH:M0-KATI! HOAI) iavs.
It was Democratic legislation that
brought to fulfilment the national
demand for good roads. The suc
cess of that legislation in realizing
.the wishes of the country is exempli
fied by statistics covering the period
from 1913, the beginning of Presi
dent Wilson's first term, to Septem
ber 1, 1919. in the six years there
were constructed more than 15,000
miles of almost perfect highways.
But for the assistance given by the
Federal Government, the several
States would have been unable or
unwilling to bear the whole cost of
these improvements. But for Demo
cratic laws no Federal aid would
have been forthcoming. The Gov
ernment Is now matching with funds
from the Federal Treasury every
dollar that any of the States devotes
to the building of its roads. In addi
tion to the millions that have been
voted for this purpose by Democratic
Congresses, It is proposed to appro
priate $400,000,000 to continue the
work after 1921. Senaotr Sheppard,
a Democrat, is the author of this pro
posal. ,
The whole trend and tenor of Re
publican legislation in the past has
been in favor of special private In
terests which wanted immunities
and privileges at the expense of the
masses. There is no better Illustra
tion ot the spirit and purpose of
Democratic law-making than that
manifested in this roads legislation,
which brought benefits to every sec
tion and class ot the country.
l S. WIIKAT 1HUKCTOR
WILL SPEAK AT OMAHA
Country grain shippers, farmers
and others Interested In the handling
and others Interested lu the handling

tor, will come to Omaha September
25ih to deliver an address on his
work.

torium of hte Fontcnelle Hotel at

ed that many country elevator oper
ators and wheat growers will avail
themselves ot this opportunity to
meet him face to face and hear what!
he has to say about the handling of
this year's wheat crop. !
New problems are constantly In
connection with the handling ot
grain at both terminal and country
poin-is, and many producers of
wheat iu this state may have In their
minds questions which they would
like to discuss with Mr. Barnes. All
those who are interested in produc
ing as well as In handling grain are
cordially invited to come to Omaha
to hear Mr. Barnes' address and to
ask him any questions they may de
sire to ask.
Mr. Barnes has been a national
figure since the breaking out of the
war. lie was made president of the
Food Administration Grain Corpora
tion, part of Mr. Hoover's organiza
tion under the Food Control Act of
1917. Last May President Wilson
appointed him United States Wheat
Director to carry out the price guar
antees made to producers of the

High School Notes
School is now an old story, and
the three months' vacation has been
almost forgotten. A smaller plat
form has been placed in the assembly
hall, and more seats will be placed in
the extra space to accommodate the
overflow.
Although we miss the members of
last year's senior class, their places
is more than filled, in numbers, by
the large freshman class. These
young people have made themselves
at home, have organized, and chosen
Miss Wilson as their advisor.
The new teachers of the high
school faculty are Miss Whitney, of
Beaver City, who teaches Mathema
tics, Mill Wilson, of Chadron, who
has th History and Normal Train
ing, and Mr. Cunningham, of Indian
oya, la., who has charge of Science
and Agriculture.
Miss Mabel Clayton, who had
charge of History and Normal Train
ing, last year, has accepted a posi
tion as ciitic teacher in the Wash
ington State Normal school, at Spok
ane, Wash. Miss Clayton spent a
day ia Alliance on her va west, and
was warmly welcomed by her many
friends here.
The football boys are now becom
ing tble to ascend and descend the
stairs with more ease and agil'ty
than when they first began to prac
tice for tl c game. There Is splendid
material for a football team, and we
hope to wrest many victories from
our opponents during the coming
season.
A High ScffOol chorus has oeen or
ganized by Mirs Simmons, the Music
supervisor, and it promises to be a
success. We appreciate the privilege
of having a supervisor of Music, this
year.
The senior class enjoyed an outing
Friday night. They rode to Harris'
grove, where they roasted wetners
and partook of other refreshments.
The gentlemen of the faculty have
been receiving some attention in the
form of serenades. On account of
existing clreumstances, it is difficult
to decide which is the more popular,
and both heinc very modest, disclaim
the endit. It -lias been decided to
share equclly, however, and call It
equar:?.
The Geyser washinu machine, elec
tric, is belns denionsfrated at the

When Actresses Were Unknown.
In ancient times actresses were un
known. The people of Elizabethan
times were perfectly content to stand
for a young mole Juliet. Around nborut

on the English staj?, and since then
actresses have been appearing all over

The heavy seamless castings, the absolutely tight fitting,
and the patented construction, assure fuel economy and
more than a generation of service.
Examine the Stove Itself
You will find that the doorframes are riveted on not
d as in other makes.
You will find that the ash pit is seamless, which means
rMt"fcm leak in below the fire after the drafts are clos
;.ilV' -rot assures economy of fuel using
. The cone-center grate prevents formation of clinkers.
The Round Oak hot blast consumes gases and steals heat
away from the chimney.
The cold-rolled, refined boiler-iron body, radiates heat in
to the room, incidentally rendering double the usual
service.
The design is distinctive and patented. This construction
is found in no other heating stove.
We should like to show to you, personally, the other ad
