The Tribune has been started
because the proprietors believe
6 : ; ' ' that from a business standpoint ,
: c' ' . ' y there. is a field for just j such a
.
.r paper in "Richardson county , and
wc wish to state right here , most
t , ' % ' emphatically , that no individual
' - faction or company or any men
men . aside from those ' whose
f.l names are subscribed to this announcement -
nouncement had anything what-
seever , to do with thc establish-
{ , ing' of this paper.Ve believe
: ' . that the field is good in this city
r for an enterprising local news-
paper , that will give all the news
at all times , written in a readable
4 and satisfactory style. \Ve take
this step because we believe that
, , we can give the public what it
c , , w wants , and benefit ourselves
financially.
Politically , The Tribune will
; f : . ; - 'be staunchly the same at all
1
f4 , , times. Its editors shall seek to
; . ' = snake it a worthy exponent of
: ' : . those principles that have proven
h to be the best for the welfare of
. the American people. This pol-
icy will be stamped so plainly
I . . . 'that its readers will know exactly
what the character of their paper
is ; stamped.so deeply that no
political factional wind can alter
it. These principles are Hcpub-
\ lican-nothing more , nothing
c4 less.

and we are wide awake to the
fact that there is much work to
be done , and we ask all republicans -
cans to co-operatc with us.Vc
promise anewspaper with a polit-
ical policy based upon True Blue
Republicanism trust this is
plain enough to satisfy any who
may have been led to question
The 'I'ribunc's politics.
Mechanically we shall endeavor -
or to make The Tribune one of
the neatest papers in Nebraska.
The type is easily read and will
be clearly printed. Every pound
of our material is new and we are
prepared to serve you with the
best in the way of job printing.
All classes of work is solicited
and will be neatly and promptly
executed. . .
An untiring effort will be made
to gather and print all the news
that will be of interest to anyone
in Richardson county. All news
of churches , lodges , clubs and
organizations of every nature will
be g-athered and printed. To
this end we invite our friends to
contribute news items and the
same will be thankfully received.
Our telephone number is 226 , so
call us up and tell us all the news
you know. Market reports and
official news will receive closest
attention. Personal and local
items will be briefly , but
thoroughly covered. All matter
that will tend to the upbui1ding
and betterment of Falls City and
our- county will be energetically
and practically supported.
Believing that this is enough
to satisfy the most inquisitive as
to the policy that will be pur-
sued by The Tribune , we submit
our publication to the people to
be judged. But before rendering
this udgemen j please remember
that in getting out the first issue
of a newspaper , there is an im-
mense amount of work involved
and that this paper is hardly a
fair sample of what The Tribune
will be when in the office
order has been brought out of
chaos and things are running
smoothly. If our policy and our
pledges meet with your approval ,
kindly give us your business in
our line and co-operate with us
otherwise.
