The continuance was asked on
the grounds that if the case was to

accordingly it was necessary for the
court to lay the matter over until

Gov. McMullen
Speaks at Happy
Hundred Supper
State Executive Stresses the Need of
Greater Responsibility of Citi

REPORT OF THE CONDITION
OF THE
PLATTSMOUTH STATE BANS
Of Plattsmouth, Nebr.
Charter No. 786 in the State of Xe
liraska nt tlie close of business
December 81, 192".
From "Wednesday's Daily
"Governor's night" on the yearly
program of the "Happy Hundred"
was one of the greatest success and
the occasion of the visit here of Hon.
Adam McMullen, governor of Ne
braka, was one that was enjoyed by
the large representative gathering
of the men of Plattsmouth and vic
inity at the parlors of the First
Presbyterian church last evening.
In his address Governor McMullen
touched upon a number of the lead
ing problems of the day but the
larger portion of his very able ad
dress was a plea for the participa
tion of the citizen in the affairs of
government and to combat the indif
erence to the affairs of tire nation
and state, such was evident at the
last presidential election, when less
than 50 per cent of the qualified
voter of the nation cast their ballot,
for the naming of the national exe
sutive. Governor MnMullen was intro
duced by Searl S. Davis very brief
ly and in a well chosen manner, and
the state executive at once entered
into a brief discussion of one of
the big problems of the west, the
disposition of the surplus of the
western farms, so that the farmer
could receive an adequate return
on the work of the year and which
would insure him a living wage for
his labors in providing food for the
world. Organization of the farmers
and citizens to secure results was
urged by the governor, the active
thorough organization of the far
mers and the people or the west to
handle this economical problem
would find attention in Washington
in securing what might be needed
in the way of legislation, if the
unity of those interested was made
manifest. This spirit of "getting to
gether" was praised by Governor
McMullen as a wonderful thing, in
a community organization like the
Happy Hundred or in the farmers
of the west, securing real results.
That it was a world wide movement
was shown Governor McMullen de
clared by the fact that the leaders
of the world were adopting this plan
to bring international peace to tho
war torn world and which had
already produced treaties that guar
anteed the peace of the world or at
least the European nations. i
Another of the disconcerting
trends of the modern day was that
of attempting to get away from the
fundamentals of the national life,
the shaking of the ideals and basic ;
facts on which the republic and all'
society are founded. It was a part
of the trend of the, .times to shake
off the old customs, the old teach
ings, to attempt to pick faults or
flaws in the basic foundation of the
nation some calling it intellectual
progress while others gave it th
name of retrogration of the people
The maintaining of the home life,
the family discipline, the sancity of
the church, protecting the schools
were ideals that should be protected
and cherished by all of the citizenry.
Observance of the law through
the education of the people the awak
ening spirit of the national con
science should be important facts to
be looked after. It was by public
support that all measures were put
into effect successfully. The gover
nor cited the efforts of General
Butler to handle the situation in
Philadelphia, the failure being the
fact that the public was not in sup
port of the measures or acts, which
was the result of the lack of the
united effort of the people through
an educated national consciousness.
The decay and fall of the Reman
republic was through the indif
ence of the citizens of that nation
th governor pointed out and urged
that the citizens of the United
States look well into the future that
they too did not follow the same
path.
Vigilence was the price of liberty
and the preservation of the free gov-,
ernment, the citizenship of the na
tion must n.tet the obligation of

ONE PRICE
AND
NO MONKEY BUSINESS!
93
Forty-seven years ago this Spring, Mr. C. E. "Wes
cott, the founder of this store, arrived in Platts
mouth and started to sell clothing to the people
of this community. He adopted the above motto
as his selling policy and we are glad to say it has
been consistently adhered to ever since. It is time
tried and tested and we believe in it more today
than ever before.
We believe you. the public, would rather trade at
a store where the prices are marked in plain figures
and where "juggling" and "Jewing" is unknown.
If a suit of clothes is marked $35 you know it is
worth ?35 and you pay the same price for it as
your neighbor.
We are confirmed in this "One Price and No Mon
key Business" way of doing business, because
frankly, we tan give you better values day in and
day out at $25, $30 and $35 than we could pos
sibly give by a so-called cut price sale policy. Itt
us prove this to you.

U was became of a public o nion
and llu'.t these changes might not
express the sentiment of a'l of tlie
people, was because of the fact that
those who were interested failed to
take their place in the first line of
citizenship.
In closing the governor stated that
the life of the nation depended on
the character of the men and women
and he urged a higher standard of
real intelligent citizenship among
the men and women of the nation.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church served one of their always
enjoyable feasts and which opened
the first part of the banquet.
To many of the party was given
the first opportunity of hearing the
Plattsmouth high school orchestra,
under the directorship of Leroy
Fager, and the work or the young
people was one that received the
most marked approval of the audi
ence. Mr. Fager also gave a short
talk on the music in the schools and
urged the formation of a band a?
well as orchestra in the school.
As guests of the evening W. F..

attendance at the meeting and was
greeted with a song as was also
