Again The Herald has the
pleasure of bringing its readers
a favorable weather report for
the past week. On last Thurs
day, July 4th, rains fell over
this part of Nebraska, the heav
iest being at Alliance, where it
amounted to almost a flood. J
Some damage was done by
water running into cellars and
also by the wind which broke
branches of trees and some
windows. Hail fell in some lo
calities, but the area covered
was small. Since then there
have been scattering rains, the
weather has been warm, and
crops are growing nicely. A
good hay crop is assured, small
grain will make a fair crop, and
the prospects for corn and ikj
tatoes are splendid.

Last Friday's issue of the Scott s

under the above cuption for having
taken the Alliance fire boys' beer
away from them on the Fourth. It
seems that a supply of liquid r e-

bluff from Alliance, it being suppos
ed that nothing stronger than root
beer and ginger ale could be pur
chased in that city. It is claimed
that the wet goods were not taken
from this city for commercial pur
poses but for private use. but that

W00DR0W WILSON'S OLD BELIEFS.
(NfW York Olobe.
Bnrft in ISO I. long before he became iufeeted with personal political
ambition, Woodr.iw WiKon wrote essays, published In the Atliintic
Monthly, that Ilia IMtBlsa do not apparently care to iiote. For example,
tie ie Is u.ie on Walter BagsUot In which the following passage occurs:
Morsovsr, htre is a deeper lin k in Hiujeliot. Me,ljn
no lyjnjratiiy with the voiceless body of the people, with
the "mass of unknown men." He conceives tlio work of
government to be a work which is possible only to the in
structed few. He would have the masses served, and serv
ed with devotion, but h would not like to see them at
tempt to serve themselves. He haa not the stout fiber and
the unquestioning faith in the right and capacity of inor
ganic majorities which make the democrat. He has none
of the heroic boldness neceasary for faith in wholesale
political aptitude and capacity. He takes democracy in
' detail in his thought, and to take it in detail makes it look
very awkwnrd indeed.
Woodrow Wilson Is accused of being a "Federalist." It la charge:
that his present sympathy with democratic ideas Is a preteuse. He is
accused of the meanness of changing his convictions In the hope of
gettiug office.
It ia doubtful whether American political history, full ae it Is ef reck
less slander, furniehe an instance ef character asaassinatien mere con
temptible than that ef which Weedrow Witeen has been the victim.
