I A CUNNING INTRUDER 3
It has been a source of large
-wonderment to The Tribune for
several weeks that no one has
arisen to the occasion but the
following editorial in the Lincoln
Daily Star gets down to brass
headed tacks in a -way so frank
and specific as to be invigorating
Why not advertise Nebraska
Nebraska people are miserably
negligent not only in methods of
advertising and promoting the
groAvth of their state but also in
the matter of preventing its inva
sion by the agents of other more
progressive and aggressive states
to refr to anything Nebraskan
in the title to the exhibition
It should be designated The
Pacific Coast Colonization Expo
sition and instead of asking th
people of Nebraska to patronize
it and thus pay the expense of
maintaining it the promoters
who Viag it to the state should
b1 made to piy roundly for the
privilege t would vastly bene
fit Nel raska perhaps if they
were taxed o high for a license
that they -would be unable to hold
such meetings in this state
All of the j liios on the Pacific
coast devote considerable funds
annually to jdvfM tising Recent
ly here has been organized a
coalition of all the states along
at all unreasonable to
that this so called Omaha Land
Show is a part of the campaign
of the Pacific coast colonization
scheme cleverly presented for
the patronage of Nebraska people
in order that the victims may be
made- to bear the expense of ad
vertising the far west and luring
Nebraskans to seek homes furthei
west
For who can imagine that it is
-helpful to build up the state of
Nebraska this holding within its
borders an exposition at which
chief prominence is given to the
lifli nvnrhirtc nf flnlifnvrnn Or-
Under a deceptive name that Washington and Idaho
is in rd d to cLimv an impres l ho s0enlletl Omaha land

Aehrrska because ir Dears me
nam of the metropolis of this
tat t r is new in progress in
Omln about as clever a scheme
to neourage emigration from Ne
braska to some other state as it
would be possible to devise
So far as one may judge from
its literature and from the com-
scpk
n of the products oi
r ka Kansas Iowa and
then might one expect
it ihin e some benefit for th a
state of Nebraska and it woul 1
net b unreasonable to ask Ne
biiska people to contribute to
but when it sets itself down
among Nebraska people to giv
ment of thos from outside of exhibitions of the wonderful
who have visited the so- J ducts of states that are maintain
called Omaha land show its en- J ing aggressive colonization cam
tire purpose seems to be to ex- paigns and expects Nebraska peo
ploit the resources and ndvant j ple through their patronage to
Oregon Idaho and Texas So
little attention is attracted to Ne
braska by it that it is a misnomei
expense ot
the exhibitions it looks danger
ously like obtaining money under
false pretenses
This may sound something like
a knock on an Omaha enterprise
Let it sound as it may it is a
knock that some one should
make If the people of this state
cannot hring themselves to in
augurate and maintain a system
atic and effective campaign of
their own for advertising the
marvelous resources of Nebraska
the impulse for self preservation
and their own self respect ought
to prompt them to protest against
this brazen method of bringing
into their midst under a decep
tive title an enterprise intended
only to lure Nebraskans to oth
er states Tt would be far better
were thy to put into the adver
tisement of their own state the

Even sucli splendid fellows -as
Bryan and Aldrich experience th
common partisan politics difficul
ty supporting unfit candidates
simply because they happen to be
tagged with their party name
for that patriotic
and consistent champion of the
people but in view of the prac
tical certainty of the renomina
tion of President Taft and the
not improbable nomination of 41
reactionary Democrat the cam
paign should be waged of a sort
which is mindful of the fact that
an election will ensue in the fall
of that year in -which tliis stated
probability will be a cold reality
Whether progressiva or reaction
ary or standpait Republicans
should be in consistent attitude
to support their national nomi
nee especially if the party platr
form shall be in harmony with
the upward march of our best
and most progressive Republican
ism
Making no claim to being an
organization mouthpieceand hav
ing no personal knowledge of
the truth or falsity of statements
cm rent of political tieups of va
rious kinds involving nominees
of both parties The Tribune is
supporting the nominees or the
Republican primary election on
the good and sufficient grounds
of the fitness and preparedness
of these nominees for the offices
they seek In each instance the
Republican nominees are persons
whom we have known personally
for years hence our conclusions
are from personal knowledge of
character and reallocations of
those seeking election or reelec
tion Added to these we have the
official records of almost all of
them The record made speaks
-with more power and conviction
than mere language
Chas Skalla J C loore and

given proof of their ability to

Crediting political speakers
with honesty and frankness in
their public addresses it is diffi
cult for the laity the average
man to maintain his poise The
average man attends a Republi
can meeting The speaker lauds
the party and its principles and
performances to the seventh heav
en Takes party credit for every
thing leaves nought for God or
man to have accomplished The
same average man finds himself
on occasion hearing the eloquence
ot a Democratic orator ana is
possibly startled if not amused
to learn that the Democratic is
the party of the great common
people that its policies on
finance on the tariff on every
thing in fact are and have been
right and inferentially those of
its friends the enemy all Avrong
The Prohibitionists and Social
ists agree that both the old par-
tics are all wrong This incon
gruity in politics finds parallels

ery human interest until indeed

COMMENCED WORK
Improvements Under Way at the
Water Works Park
Saturday the contract was
signed up and this morning work
was begun on the city park at
the water works
At this time it is proposed to
trim the trees cut down the dead
trees and cut out the underbrush
Some grading will be done also
but only in a limited degree that
heavy and expensive work being
left to a time when more mon
ey is available
The park board is composed of
Councilman Middleton Dr C L
Fahnestock and Engineer I L

Some attention is now beinsr
given to securing an enlargement
of the entrance to the park the
present drive being insufficient
in width and hence- not adequate
for passing teams vehicles and
automobiles

VALUE OF SYSTEM
Whether In Working or Thinking It
Helps on to Success
Working or thinking without system
enfeebles the mind and leaves the
mental faculties in clogged condi
tion so that they do not work sharply
The mind must be kept clear and clean
for the present problem so that it
may seize and grasji with all its might
the thing it is attempting to accom
plish
There is only one best way to learn
how to act That way is the way of
system Systematize your thoughts
your energies your abilities Learn
early in life to do this and it will
prove the master habit that wins suc
cess
Systemless men are always surprised
that the heads of great enterprises
can find so much time for social life
for hobbies for travel They cannot
understand it at all do not
realize that a man of great organizing
ability with a splendid system can
do more effective business in a single
hour at his office than a systemless
man can accomplish in twelve It is
not the number of hours but the ef
fectiveness of the system that tells
One of the advantages of a college
course is that it trains the mind to
work by system Whether he likes to
or not the student is forced to con
centrate his mind when the time
comes no matter what his mood or
how he feels Tour years of training
in this should put the mind into work
ing order It should tune the intellect
so that all the strings will be in
harmony A good college education

tenth year of life tigers two or three want you to try Jiexan ur
years earlier The male tiger is thelderlies on our guarantee They
dread of the profession when he
reaches this condition because he is
more likely to go into a frenzy without
warning and once gone bad nothing
will satisfy him but murder
He will leap for any man within
reach and when once his teeth are on
the bone nothing but fire will make
him relinquish it and not always that
This going bad may come in the
nature of a sudden attack or it may
develop slowly and be counteracted if
taken in time An old trainer can
usually detect the symptoms of this
curious ailment It seems to be in
the nature of a disease and other ani
mals recognize it and shun the affect

When its progress is apparent the
danger is not great All that is re
quired then is a level head and the
wisdom to refrain from further inter
ference with the animal
