Nelson S. Darling was tbe star
feature on the list of Chautauqua at
tractions this season. So Bay those
who listened to his stirring speech
last Friday evening. Darling is a
man who has made a study of busl
eesa building, advertising, and the
problems of the small town mer
chant He has been a traveling
talesman, merchant, sales manager
aad advertising manager.
Darling had his audience with him
frem start to finish. It is impossible
to tell in this article all tbe good
i kings he said. The Herald has en
HHged Mr. Darling to write a series
of twenty-four articles dealing with
these problems. These will begin
Non and one will be run in each is
sue. They should be read by every
nan, woman and child in Alliance
aad surrounding towns.
Darling is a powerful speaker and
brought his audience from smiles to
tears and back again. One Alliance
laan who had never been seen to
aiaile before in public laughed right
eet loud. And with all of his good
glories Darling brought home telling
paints that will do Alliance much
geod.
"The man who believes in the 'op

for saving the country and that Is

"The big problems before thi
ceantry today are tbe re-distribution
of wealth and population. Seventy
fear per cent of the wealth of the
ceantry is controlled by four per
cent of tbe population."
Darling is from a prohibition state
aad is for prohibition. He said, "In
fifteen years there will be no saloons.
Ike United States government will
etese every saloon in fifteen years."
Me cited statistics showing the ad
vancement made by the state of Kan
sas under prohibition.
"Twenty-two states in the Union
lest in population during the last
fire years," said Darling. Among
these states were Nebraska and Io
wa. "The population la becoming
congested in the great centers. There
are only two solutions. The social
ists' plan and one which I have to
give you. Perhaps you don't think
the socialists are strong. Watch the
veto this fall. I am not a socialist.
I am a bull mooser."
Mr. Darling spoke on social serv
ice, spiritual service and commercial
service. He questioned several in
the audience regarding the courses
taaght in the public schools of Alli
ance. "This is tbe best town I have
been in in Nebraska," he said.

Ten departments of instruction in
each of the state normal schools are
provided for in a plan adopted by the
state normal board at its meeting In
Wayne this week. The new scheme
of dividing up the work was formu

which A. L. Cavlness was chairman.
The board empowered this commit
tee some time ago to undertake the
task of unifying and consolidating
departments, which are now conduct
ed on a rather hit-and-miss basis.
One of the main objects is to put
each department under a single head,
as is done at the state university.
The committee report provides that
this shall be effected without work

any member of the faculties. Heads

THE TOWN CREED
By Nelson S. Darling
I BELIEVE IN ALLIANCE. I believe in her peo
ple, in her boys and in her girls. I will male
myself a committee of one to make of Alliance
a good place in which to live and a mighty hard
place to leave.
I BELIEVE IN ALLIANCE. I believe in her insti
tutions, in her schools, in her churches and in
her stores. 1 believe in the street broom and
street sweeper and in the paint pot. I believe
in ne'er an empty can on vacant lot or plot but
many a full one in the larder. Never again
will I throw waste paper or rubbish in the
street or alley. Never again will I spit on side
walk or on floor.
I BELIEVE IN ALLIANCE. I believe in trees,
God's first temples, grass instead of ash heaps,
and flowers instead of weeds. I will forget
jealousies if I have any and treat all people
with charity and consideration. May Qod blew
the tongue that gives honest praise and com
mendation and may lie doubly bless the ear that
is deaf to scandal and to gossip. If I cannot
speak good of my neighbor 1 will hold my peace.
When it costs me nothing, at least, I will spend
my money here, and by so doing leave a part of
the purchase price to circulate in the channels
where its equivalent in wealth was originally
ereated, to circulate and do good among tht
folks who are a part of the community of which
I am a part, in the place that I call home,
sweet home.

It is recommended that the county
conventions be held on Saturday, Ju
ly 25, at 2 p. m., at the county seat
towns where other arrangements are
not made by proper officials. It is
desired that all counties be repre
sented in th estate convention and to
this end the state committee suggests
that mass conventions be held in all
counties where a regular organiza
tion has not bee nmaintalned and
that at said mass convention a per
manent organization be perfected. In
view of the Importance of the forth
coming election and the fact that a
complete set of state and county of
ficlals are to be chosen in November,
it is urged that every believer in the
principles of the Peoples Independ
ent party make arrangements to at
tend tbe county and state conven
tions.
Delegates, friends and workers in
the cause of true reform are urged
to be with us at Hastings on the date
herewith given.
By order of the committee.
