PROCLAMATION
State Fire Day
It has been wisely provided by
statute "that for the purpose of cre
ating a public sentiment, and in or
der that the people of this state shall
have called to their attention the
great damage caused, both to life
and property, by fire, there is set
apart and established the first Friday
in November which shall be desig
nated and known as State Fire Day.
This day shall be observed by the
public, private and parochial schools
of the State with exercises appropri
ate to the subject and the day.
In order that this provision of our
statute be given full force and effect,
and that one of the greatest econom
ic wastes in our State be reduced to
the minimum, it is necessary that
united action be taken on the part
of the citizens of the state, to pre
vent the accumulation of waste ma
terial that subjects personal proper
ty to danger of destruction by fire.
NOW THEREFORE, I, John H.
Morehead, Governor of the State of
Nebraska; do hereby designate and
proclaim November 6th, 1914, as
State Fire Day", and I especially
request that owners of property give
personal attention to the removal of
all rubbish and debris from their
premises; that they set their heating
apparatus in safe and proper condi
tlons for winter use; that all chim
neys and flues be carefully examin
ed, and that the carelessness in per
mitting the burning of combustible
refuse near adjoining buildings be
discontinued; and that suitable ex
ercises be conducted in the schools
of the State, in order to impress up
on the minds of the children, the
rNt destruction of life and proper
ty resulting from fire.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF. I
have hereunto set my hand and caus
ed the Great Seal of the State to be
affixed, this 23rd day of October,
1914.
JOHN II. MOREHEAD,
Governor.
Visited In Alliance
Mrs. A. D. Conner and little son
Lawrence, and the fine new pair of
twins, who have been spending the
latter part of the summer with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Beck at
Bingham, came to Alliance to spend
a few days before leaving for her
home at Central City. Mrs. Conner
made many new friends in that sec
tion of the sand hills during ber vls-
it, who regret to see her leave.
BRYAN IN
One of the most Impressive political addresses ever heard in Alliance
was delivered in the Pbelan opera house last Friday noon by William Jen
nings Bryan, the premier of President Wilson's cabinet and Nebraska's
most distinguished citizen. He arrived at 11:20 a. m., on the train from
Denver, and remained in this city until 12:60 p. m. Owing to tho short
ness of his stop here, his address occupied only abont one hour.
Altho the notice of the meeting was short and the weather bad, a larco
crowd assembled. A number of ladles were present and enjoyed listening
to the address as much as the men. One Alliance mother, who had never
before heard Mr. Bryan, in writing to her son at Lincoln, said:
"I was afraid I would be disappointed In his speech had
been listening to Evangelist Hamilton, who Is a splendid speaker
and has the best topic in the world, but I was not disappointed
in Bryan. He used such simple language and took the side of
right on every question he mentioned, and his subjects were those
which we as a nation have to deal with and his utternaces had
such a ring of sincerity that I felt that Bryan was the kind of
man to be proud of."
As an introduction to his address, Mr. Bryan emphasized the simplicity
of good government by stating that there were only a few things that peo
ple In this world need to know Just a few fixed principles in government,
altho the details of applying those principles may be manifold.
Before entering upon a discussion of national Issues, he took up the
cause of woman suffrage, stating that it was an Issue in Nebraska. Altho
his talk on this subject was short, he piled up an array of arguments that
delighted his hearers, at least those who favored the measure. That a
large part of his audience were pleased with the irresistible logic of this
part of the address was indicated by the rounds of applause that were re
peatedly given.
"I am going to Vote for it," said Mr. Bryan, and then proceeded to
give his reasons so clearly as to convince any one open to conviction that
his position was correct. Like other progressive measures, it will some
time be adopted by the people. "Nothing is more certain," said he, "than
that woman suffrage will be adopted In this state and this nation. I do not
know how soon, but it will come."
vor of woman suffrage was that it will
morality among voters. "What 1b it
tions of the voter? It Is intelligence
will Improve both."
Mr. Bryan spoke of the desirability
as a democratic state, when the roll of states shall be called after election.
He commended the administration of Governor Morehead. and passed to
the discussion of national issues. In this, as well as in the talk on wom
an suffrage, Mr. Bryan took a position with which The Herald is delighted.
He did not make himself ridiculous
democratic candidate from governor down to road suprevlsor was necessary
to a public endorsement of the administration of President Wilson; but he
stated very clearly the great importance of electing United States senators
and congressmen who will co-operate with the administration in the com
pletion of the program on which such splendid work has been already ac
complished. No U. S. senator is to be elected in Nebraska this year, but
six democratic congressmen ought to be chosen to help insure a working
majority for the president, even should there be a loss of democrats in the
congressional election' in other parts of the nation. He mentioned in par
ticular the democratic nominee for congress in the Sixth congressional dist
rict, stating that he had been acquainted with Frank J. Taylor for many
years and that during all that time he has been a true progressive demo
crat. In the discussion of national issues, Mr. Bryan spoke of the splendid
work already done by congress under the Wilson administration, the tariff,
Income tax, currency, the Mexican situation, and the international peace
projects being among the things mentioned. It is Impossible to give here
even a resume of Mr. Bryan's speech in Alliance, but we feel confident that
if every voter in Nebraska could hear such an address before election, the
woman suffrage amendment to the constitution would carry by an over
whelming majority and at least a majority of the democratic candidates for
congress, and probably all, would be elected.

Greatcet Convention of Fanners Ev

Panning Into History
The farmers' institute which was
extensively advertised thru the coin
ty papers and by means of printed
bills, is passing Into history this
(Thursday) night. The interest that
farmers and their wives are taking
in the co-operative movements that
have beea set on foot among them is
no doubt the forerunner of a new
era in agricultural development and
progress ia this part of Nebraska.
There was a fair attendance at the
farmers' meeting at Hemlngford yes
terday, but the big crowd waited to
come to Alliance. Two meetings
were held this afternoon, one for the
men and the other for the women.
Both were well attended, and an un
precedented Interest manifested la
the discussion of subjects relating to
farming and dairying in this coun
try.
In last week's Herald a list of
prizes for farm and domestic prod
ucts was published. The exhibit is
fine and a credit to the county as
well as the exhibitors. In size, how
ever, it is only a small patch com
pared with what it will be next year,
Judging from remarks of farmers
and their wives who are in attend-
ance. It is too late to puunsn a
of the winners of prizes In this issue
of The Herald. Look for it next
week, as well as an account of the
banquet which is being held this ev

Newberry building. The exhibit is
