Are advertisements read?
Well, if you had been the pub
lisher of The Herald the past
week you would think they were
read.
We believe, as do a large ma
jority of the common folks in
this country, that "a govern
ment for the people, of the peo
ple, and by the people" is the
proper thing.
The operation of the initiative
and referendum, direct legisla
tion, is not complicated, but is
easily understood by the common
people', in fact so simple that it
is the terror of political trick
sters, Patronize your homo merch
ants in preference to mail order
houses. The same rule might
also be applied to the homo print
ers, which we are pleased to say
is done by most of the Alliance
business men.
We notice that Havelock is
getting some very desirable ad
vertising since adopting the in
itiative and referendum by a
vote of !127 to 77. Had that city
voted down the proposition, it
would have been ridiculed from
one end of the state to the other.
The patrons of a local news
paper have a right to make sug
gestions as to how the paper
shall bo conducted. The editor
of The Herald recognizes this
right and is always glad to re
ceive any suggestions that they
may make. But when a man
Who borrows the paper to read
or sends to a mail order house
to have his printing done, under
takes to say what shall be print
ed and what shall not, that's a
different proposition. We accept
as much of his advice as we feel
like accepting, and that isn't
much.
Over eighty-six per cent, of
the republican editors of Nebras
ka are opposed to the re-election
of Cannon as speaker, and more
than eighty-nine per cent, are
opposed to the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. This looks good to
us, but was not quite what we
hoped for. There should have
been at least 100 per cent, in
opposition, and we can only ex
plain the attitude of the small
per cent, willing to stand by
that iniquitous tariff bill and
joecanonism by believing that
they must be federal officehold
ers, as there is neither excuse
for the one nor defense for the
other. Hemingford Journal.
Basket Ball
Tim Alliance High School Basket
Ball team will plav Chadron Academy
at the High School gym tomorrow (Fri
day) evening, Admission 35 cents.
This promises to be an interesting
game. Encourage the boys and at the
same time enjoy an hour of recreation
by attending.
A. R. Wilson is enjoying a visit from
his sou, Irvin E., who arrived on 41
last Friday horn Lincoln.
Mrs. F. N. Young left yesterday for
Lincoln, where she will meet Mrs R.
Simmons and accompany her on her
return home.
The Bee Hive Store has moved a
little sooner than had been expected,
hut the special sale advertised in The
Herald still continues.
We expect to soon have some defini
te information about the new Catholic
hospital to be erected in Alliance that
will be of interest to our readers.
Chas. C. Jameson of Ellswortli and
Earl Comstock of Deliver were in Alli
ance a few days this week. We were
pleased to receive a call from them at
The Herald office.
Governor Brooks of Wyoming, ac
companied by three-other gentlemen,
were gpests at" the Drake today between
trains. They were enroute from the
northwest to Cheyenne via Sidney.
W. A. Springer, successor to M. O.
New in the grocery business, is moving
into the store 100m just vacated by the
Bee Hive, second door west of the
postoffice. Within a day or two he and
his assistants will have everything fixed
up "spick and span" and better pre
pared than ever to wait on their cus
tomeis. See his ad in this issue of
The Herald.
INTEREST INCREASING IN CONTEST
Interest in The Herald's great piano contest is warming up.
It is beginning to be about what we desired it to be at the outset.
During the week ending last evening, more votes were cast on
subscription paid than had been cast during all the time of the
contest preceding.
No one is far enough along yet to have much of an edge on
those just starting. It's anybody's contest yet, even for the spe
cial $10 prize to the one who gets to the 8,000 mark first. Con
testants starting the coming week stand practically as good a show
of winning, it tney get out ana rusue, as uiosu nireauy in uiu nm.
The candidate who rustles will be the candidate to win.
Remember that every candidate is started out with 5,000 votes
as soon as named, and then receives 100 votes for every dollar
paid on subscription and voted for her. So you see that any lady
who starts as a candidate the coming week, will begin right up
among them.
