THURSDAY. MAY 1, iHl.i
ilovemor Morehead has named May
lth as a state-wide, clean-up day,
but Alliance beat him to it. Acil-ig
under the proclamation of retiring
Mayor Barnes, this city has already
had severl clean up days, and a good
Job of it has been done, too.
Every voter In Nebraska should
post himself on the merits of the pre
position to remove the State Univer
sity rrom Its present location In the
city or Lincoln to the state farm, ly
ing east of the city, as th queatlon
of removal is to be aettlMl by direct
vote of the people. Also, every
newspaper in the state should give
a fair presentation of the matter to
its readers berore the next state elec
tion. The columns or The Herald
at" open to contributed articles OB
the subject, and later we expect to
discus the matter editorially.

a little more common sense and
have a little more regard for com

and better for all parties directly con

the misfortune of others.
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
OF THE STANDARD OIL
The statement of Mayor Rodgers
at the rirst meeting or the new city
council that both Alliance papers
wanted the city printing was cor
rect but In Justice to this paper
needs a little explanation. Before
the new administration had taken
charge of city affairs, the publishers
-of The Herald proposed to the pub
lishers or the Times that the two
papers put In Joint bids on the city
printing and the county delinquent
tax Hat, both papers to receive the
same pay. This proposition was de
clined by tbe publishers of the
Times.
, TJte quarantine hi Alliance haa giv
en tu "yellow" newspapers an op
portunity to try to raise an excite
ir nt where no excitement Is needed.
The Herald does not like to be per
sonal In this matter, but in Justice
to the newspapers outside of this
city that have helped to raise an
unnecessary alarm, we must say we
don't blame them much, mo long as
they got their coo frotn paper pub
lished In this city. Newspapers that
resort to exaggerated re ports to re
vive flagging Interest may reap a
temporary reward, but It Is simple
justice to this city an all parties
concerned to publish the plain, un
varnished truth in regard to sanitary
roadlUons here. And that is what
The Herald 1 trying to do. Except
for the Injury to business and the
annoyance of being quarantined
there Is nothing serious about the
situation, and this paper would not
only be disloyal to the city to not
make this statement but would be
i true to the people or the surround
ina country. The scarlet rever is
Si ( rotary McAdoo has been shak
ing up things very energetically
since he became Secretary or the
Treasury, and he recenty discovered
that! an employe of one of the
Standard Oil banks bad a desk In
the Treasury Department where he
was supposedly an employe or the
Treasury Department but in reality
a paid clerk of the bank for which
he was furnishing exclusive informa
tion from the Treasury Department
to the Standard Oil Interests and
banks. If the republicans had con
tinued in power much longer, prob
ably in a few years tbe Secretary
of the Treasury would have merely
occupied desk room In the office of
the Standard Oil Co. where he would
be told directly by his master Just
what he must do and what he must
not do. Wood row YVIIsob and his
able advisers were badly seeded for
cleaning up and straightening out
the "Irregularities" but what a plain
blunt man would call abaotate "crook
edneas" that had been growing up
In the departments in Washington,
under republican rule.
A LESSON FOR NEBR. FARMERS
How the Danes Manage DfeMry F,
Denmark la about cue-fifth tbe
size of Nebraska, but has twice as
many iniWh cattle as this state; the
rapidly Increasing prosperity of the
Danes haa attracted the attention
of agriculturists all over the world.
The following brief account of their
methods will be of interest to the
farmers of Nebraska:
"There are l. 250,00 milking cows
In Denmark. In 20 years Ussy have
increased their exports of butter ls'J
per cent, nearly alt of which Is at
tributed to improvement of the in
dividual cow. The extra care of the
single cow is very important. It may
be more profitable to have 10 cows
and give them proper Individual
care than to have 25 and not do so.
Revenue from Cows
practically stamped out. and that ta "The yearly revenue from the
Jtae disease that was most to be cows of Denmark on small farms Is
4 eared. There was more danger In $120. Seventy thousand persons

Dr. L. W. Curtis waa called to
Lakeside last Saturday to do some
veterinary work, going down on 44.
John Pederson, well knewn in Alll-
i ant e as a successful cement worker,
has returned to this city from Oma-
ha. after an absence of about two
years. He will go into the cement
contracting business here again.
Mrs. L. 8. Dye was called to Cen
tral City by telegram Sunday morn
ing. She received a message stat
ing that her father, J. H. Gleased,
who is very aged, was not expected
to live. She left on the noon train.
Harry L Thompson, factory repre
sentative for the Schmoller & Muel
ler Piano Co., who has been con
ducting their piano sale here, de
parted for Omaha Tuesday evening.
He will probably return in a week or
ten days.
Wm. King, who was operated on
about two weeks ago for appendicitis
at St. Josephs -hospital, is now recov
ering and on the road to health. He
Ik permitted to sit up tor a rew hours
neb day and will probably be out
again soon.
R. M. Hampton has purchased a
new Overland touring car from
Janus Keeler. Although Mr. Hamp-j
ton is one of the busiest men in
town he still finds time for rscroav-'
tion and we presume that he will
soon be at tbe helm or his Hne car.
A. W. Ward, who recently cuuue
ta Alliance rrom Eaton, Colo., t
take employment at the Alliance
Shoe Store as salesman, and who
has bad many yeats experience in
this line, likes Alliance. Mr. Wardl
has been here about a month and'
is getting well acquainted.

a suite of rooms in the McCorkle
block In handsome style. Thev have

are competitors in business, they are
the warmest or frienda personally
and find that there is enough busi

Joe Poposhil, member or Post M,
accompanied W. Ft. Drake and his
party on their Peterson hill climb
southeast or Alliance a week ago Sun
day. Joe seemed to enjoy the Tour
hour trip and can certify that the
Ford auto climbed the hill, although
the blazing sun caused some intense
discomfort during the climb and the
trip.
It is rumored thai a popular mem
ber of Post M Is soon to take a
trip to Alaska with the probable
view of settling there. Although it
only takes about one salesman to
handle that territory for a firm,
they have to have salesmen there
Just the same as in the United State.

not he will accept we cannot state
