The Herald publishes a cut of C.
E. Harmon, democratic and people's
Independent candidate fro railway
commissioner. U'here was a hard
fight made by some democrats a
galnst Mr. Harman's nomination and
a good deal of dust stirred up. but
It looks to us like a good deal of
the opposition to his nomination had
les root in the bearing It might have
upon the candidacy ofTjyjother party
running for another office another
year. We are of the opinion that it
will be much better to elect him
than the republican candidate this
ear, and we have several reasons
for thinking so, one of wihlch Is that
he will represent a part of the istate
not now represented on the borad.
If his opponent is elected there will
be two railway commissioners from
Lincoln and one from Omaha, but
none from the western part of the
state.
No need of hunting up a calendar
to count the days, we'll save you the
trouble: It's just fifty-three days
from the date of this paper till
Chlrstmas. "Do your shopping ear
ly," but wait till Chr'istmas adver
tisements begin appearing in The
Herald. They will tell you where to
find the best stocks of ChriatSIM
goods.

SCHOOL BOND PROPOSITION
City Schools in Alliance and Other
Nebraska Towns
The proposition to bond the Alli
ance school district which will be
voted upon at the election one week
from next Tuesday, should receive
the careful attention of all voters.
Ordinarily The Herald Is slow to nd
vlse Issuing bonds, but we believe It
pays to follow n liberal policy In ed
ucational matters, and as our city Is
lacking in public school facilities It
Is evident that something must be
done to relieve the present cramped
condition of the schools. The follow
ing data furnished The Herald by
Supt. W. R. Pate will Interest our
Alliance readers, and we are pleased
to give It to them:
At the election next Tuesday you
will he called upon to vote for or
against the school bond issue. The
reasons the Hoard of Education has
railed for a bond issue are as fol
lows: I. Central school Is overcrowded,
poorly ventilated and poorly lighted
The overcrowding at the Central
building is due to the transfer of
Emerson pupils to that building,
which Was made necessary by the
crowded condition at Emerson. An
addition at Emerson will relieve the
situation by providing enough room
at the Emerson school for the child
ren of the Emerson district. At the
beginning of the school year it was
necessary, because of the large num
ber enrolled there, to transfer two
grades from Emerson to Central.
There are now at the Emerson build
ing only four grades; viz., the first,
second, third and fifth. All other
grades, because of lack of room, have
been transferred to the Central
school or to the High school.
2. Neither the Central nor the
Emerson school is equipped with in
door toilets. To place them indoors
would prevent much exposure and
sickness, especially with the children
of the lower grades. Furthermore,
It will only be a short time until
toilets not connected with the sewer
system will be declared a nuisance
and ordered removed. At the pres
ent time there is not an available
foot of space at either of these build
ings for the housing of indoor toilets.
A comparison of the amount of
money invested in school buildings
and grounds by the Alliance City
School District and that invested by
; other cities of equal size in the
state shows much less invested here
than elsewhere. According to the
report of the secretary of the Hoard
of Education, D. W. Hughes, the
amount thus invested by the Alli
ance City School District Is 6l,500.
Of this nmount. $4..rno Is Invested In
grounds and $57,000 in buildings. The
following figures, secured from the
superintendents of the schools men
tioned, will show how Alliance com
pares with other cities of the state
City, School children Amt. invested
census 1910. bldg.. grounds.
Alliance 1010 $ 61,600.
A 1 Irion 607 66,000.
Aurora 824 86,500.
Holdrnge 844 90,000.

Lexington 7.18 tt,Ml
Hlair 998 100.000
Fairbury 1274 110,000.
MeCook 1185 117,000.
The above figures hardly need
comment. It will be observed, how
ever, that McCook, a city with about
the same number of school children
as has Allinnce (our 1911 census was
1110). a railroad center as is Alli
ance, and located In the western
part of the state a is Alliance, has
almost twice the amount of money
invested in school buildings and
grounds as has Alliance.
So fa'r as the teaching force of the
city Is concerned. Alliance Is as well
equipped as any city in the state
and the work done here will bear
comparison with that done elsewhere,
but the conditions under which the
children must work does not compare
favorably with other cities of our
class. It Is your children who must
suffer If the buildings are crowded,
poorly ventilated, poorly lighted, and
insanitary. You will have an oppor
tunity at the coming election to ex
press your sentiments. If you wish
the conditions made better register
your vote for the bond issue.
SOME BIG SUGAR BEETS
Lloyd C. Thomas, who Is secretary-treasurer
of the North Platte
('anal & Colonization Co., with head
quarters at Lingle. Wyo., Is also ed
itor of The Lingle Herald. At the
opening of the beet harvest season
he offered a prize of five tiollam for
the largest sugar beet to be brought
to his office this fall. Soon the big
beets begnn coming in eight pounds,
ten and eleven pounds, twelve, thir
teen and fourteen pounds, till a Mr.
Ackerblade brought in one Weighing
fifteen and one-half pounds, which at
the dose of the contest proved tit be
the biggest beet of the iseason. These
beets Were dipped in parafflne to
keep them from shrinking and will
be preserved for exhibition On his
visit to Alliance last week Mr Thorn
as brought one of them weighing;
fourteen pounds and left It at The
Herald office. Of course he could
not part with the largest but the one
he gave us Is some beet, as any of
our readeiis may see by calling at
this office.
tSince writing the above a beet
grown by Ed. Reach, weighing six
teen pounds and five ounces, has
been added to the collection.)
ANTON YOUNG MEETS DEATH
Word has just been received that
Anton Young, a former Alliance boy,
was killed by a train while crossinK
the railroad tracks at Kent. Wash
On account of the heavy fog he
could not see the train In time to
get out of the way.
Mr. Young was the eldest son of
Mrs. C. F. Kroll or this city. He had
been away for twenty years and had
not been heard from for eighteen
years until the message came an
nouncing his death, which was a
great shock to relatives. He leavefe
one brother, E. C. Young, and five
sisters. Mrs. C. E. Wykoff; Mrs. J.
F. Richards; Mrs. E. W. Ray, of this
city; Mrs. Anna Wendleborn, of
Globe, Ariz.; Mrs. Clara Blair, of
Mo.
Mrs. E. W. Ray and Mrs. J. F.
Richards left Tuesday on 41 to bring
the remains to this city. The funer
al will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock,
from the residence of E. W. Ray.

RAN SHORT OF PAPERS
Usually we print a number of ex
tra copies of The Herald in order
to supply any demand that we may
have for the same, but last week by
some miscalculation we did not print
enough to complete our mailing list,
consequently had to cut off mciit of
our exchanges and a few subscribers
for that issue.
SHERIDAN COUNTY CROPS
E. D. Skudies and Fred Meyer of
the Peters neighborhood in Sheridan
county drove over to Alliance, a dis
tance of about forty miles, Monday.
They repctrt the people prosperom
in their locality. Corn was a good
crop for a dry year, some going forty
bushels per acre.
"I had been given
up to die by three

I could not stand it to be on my
feet and I was so swelled in the
abdomen I could hardly breathe.
But thanks to Dr. Miles' Heart
