A Hospital One of McCooks Needs
The Tkibune haa been requested to
urge the need f a hospital in McCook
and we respond promptly and willingly
not because we expect it to soon mater
ialize but becauso it is a real need and
we have been asked to present the mat
ter before the people It is as real a need
as an auditorium and a more urgent one
than a library building However like
the other needs mentioned to secure it
means some sacrifice and more public
spirit Does McCook really have the
articles required In the past McCook
has failed to secure some advantages be
cause she forgot her size population and
wealth and wanted to get something be
yond her reach Had we been content
with a reasonable investment McCook
would now have an adequate auditorium
and perhaps a library building But
immediately 84000 or 83000 were in sight
for an auditorium the kiters would
be satisfied with nothing less than an
8000 or 10000 article and it failed
There isnt wealth enough in McCook
save for investment in wild cat mining
deals to build such a building If Mc
Cook is to make an effort in the future
for an auditorium we suggest a plan em
bracing the raising of about 4000 in
public donations to be given outright to
some company to be organized for the
purpose which shall raise an additional
10C0 or 2000 to be put into the invest
ment On this basis an opera house or
an auditorium can be secured and its
management established
Now as to the hospital The Tribune
knows but one fact about it namely
that it would be a blessing to all of this
section of Nebraska as well as McCook
We would be more than pleased to see
such an enterprise win out

Prompter Pay Demanded
Quite a number of Russians have re
turned from the Colorado beet fields
They complain of not receiving their
pay from the sugar beet factories
promptly a complaint indeed being
made by local planters There seems to
be small reason for delay in this matter
When a beet sugar planter delivers his
beets ho ought to realize on them just
as promptly as a farmer who brings his
load of grain or stock to market The
beet sugar farmer and laborer ought not
to be called upon to be bankers as well
This appears to be a matter for correc
tion in future contracts It is a matter
also in which businessmen have an in
terest as they areforced to carry plant
aud laborers too long for comfort or pro
fit by this unreasonable delay Let
every man interested have a square deal
