STAND WITH COMMERCIAL CLUB
The Herald has viewed with favor the employment of II. M.
Rnnhnpll. Jr.. as secretary of the Alliance Commercial Club. Mr
Bushnell has impresHcd us as a young man of education and ability,
oupled with plenty of pep and common sense. We are glad to note
the way in which he is taking hold of the immense amount of work
to be done in tilling this office and we believe that he will make an
enviable record in this position.
The Herald has in the past disagreed at times with the procedure
followed by the commercial club. We believed and still believe that
a mistake was made in not furnishing entertainment to the editors of
Nebraska this month on their trip through western Nebraska. But
we believe that the Commercial Club was not entirely at fault in the
matter. We believe that the lessons learned in this way will be heed
ed later.
But we feel it the duty of every citizen of our city who has the
welfare of his business and his town at heart to work with the secre
tary and board of directors of the Commercial Club for the advance
ment and upbuilding of our city. It w indeed gratifying to see busy
business men give of their time and energy in serving on the board of
directors and in giving of their knowledge gained by years of bust
ncss experience in the town to the management of the club.
Neither the secretary nor the board of directors can make a suc
cess of the club unless they have the co-operation of the citizens of
the town. The Herald believes it the duty of every business man and
city to be a member of the club and to contribute his mite towards its
financial welfare. And m addition to this we believe it his duty to
take an active interest in club affairs.
APPOINTMENT OF BRANDEIS TO SUPREME COURT
In spite of the endeavor of candidate Hughes to stir up strife and
disscntion and to attract the. attention of the people of the United
States away from the steady guidance of President ilson at tin
helm of the ship of state, the fact still remains that Wilson has done
hisxluty as he has seen it and that he has not "played politics" when
he might have made votes by doing so.
.The appointment of Iouis 1). Urandeis as an associate' justice, of
the supreme court was an act of the president that should receive tht
consideration of every voter when considering the work done during
the past three and one-half years. Never before in the history of tin
United States has such a tight been made against the appointment ol
a lawyer of note to the supreme, bench. And why? Because of the
work of the man. Because he has always stood for the rights of th
common people..
The following article regarding the new justice is taken from Tin
Eagle Magazine for the month of July and is well worth reading:

history. Ills chief tank was to give a practical interpretation to the Fed
eral Constitution, to determine the extent and limitations of the centra
government in other words, to decide whether the United States was ti
toe a confederation of sl itts or a nation. His views on the question wer
antagonized by a powerful element; it required u Civil War tlnallv o en

and his determination to sustain the right la so strong, that he has rarel

and purposely in the wrong. He has steadily and fearlessly furthered hu
man rights. And he has done so without money and without price IP
has refused in every case to accept a retainer or receive any pay when en
gage lo protect the people's Interests. He has apparntly regarded It a du
y and esteemed It a privilege to serve humanity.
His service has not stopped with the giving of professional assistance
His purse has always been at- the cbromand of the needy. Though his in
tome as attorney for large lntres has been by no means small, he lives
plainly. He has not amassed a fortune, because. It Is rumored, he gives
too much away. Worthy charities have never appealed to him in vain
That a man of the Hrandeis type an advocate t the people should
have rich men for his clients may seem anomalous. But he baa always
uK.aKuUS.ne8.8 man' -yer. Ills Judicial temperament, combined with
his habit of going to the bottom of a question and analyzing It thoroughly
make hira a valuable adviser. Men go to him. lay new business project
before him, ask whether he thinks those projects will pay. and whether he
would advise them, personally, in view of their other business relationships,
to go In or stay out and they take bis advice. And they ask him, not only
to guide their Investments, but to settle their disputes. Two of his clients
who intended to go Into a new enterprise together were unable to agree on
mony terms. They laid the case before Drandeis, and accepted his decis
ion. One of hit clients, a wealthy manufacturer, threatened with a strike.
came to him for counsel. Drandeis a?ked that the leader of the working-
men should be brought into the consultation. After hearing both sides, he
said to the manufacturer, "That man is right; the men have a grievance
which should be remedied. Then, at the request of employer and em
ploye, he matured a plan under which the business has for years gone on
harmoniously and prosperously. The manufacturer paid the legal fee.
Thus, with pay from the rich and without compensation from the noor.
Louis D. Drandeis has for years been "the man who serves" but never
has he served the rich against the poor, or the privileged against, the pub
lic. When he was nominated for bis present hlgn position, an outcry arose
against him. He was denounced as a radical, a reformer, a socialist, an
Iconoclast and perhaps he was that last, "a breaker of Idols!" Great
financial Interests were arrayed against him. Never before was a candi
date subjected to such pitiless scrutiny. It Is significant that most of the
opposition was based on the fact that he had persistently refused to use his
great talents and ability to serve the powers of privilege. But it Is more
significant that the opposition failed. The nomination of Louis D. Dran
deis was confirmed by a handsome majority. He who for years has served
the public wisely and faithfully in a private capacity may now continue that
service as a member of the most august Judicial body in the world.

A FEATHER IN PRESIDENT WILSON'S CAP
Tho successful termination of the differences between the rail
road brotherhoods and the railroads will place a feather in the cap of
President Wilson. The president took a hand in the proceedings at
a time when a few hours more would have meant one of the greatest
strikes in the history of the United States, involving not only the
400,000 striking trainmen and their employers, but causing loss and
trouble to millions of citizens. Wilson at the start took the stand
that the men should be given an eight-hour day, with time and one
half for overtime. The railroads have agreed to accept the ciffht
hour proposition and the other differences will be settled by a board
of investigation. We have talked with not less than fifty railroad
employes on tho Alliance division of the Burlington within the past
few days, who would have been involved in the big strike had it taken
place.. WTE DID NOT FIND A S1XOLK MAN WHO HAD AN UN
FAVORABLE WORD FOR WILSON, but one and all had words of
praise for his action. Candidate Hughes and his "hammer" speech
es are being forgotten in the nation-wide chorus of praise for a presi
dent who has stood by his principles.
ADVERTISING HAS ACCOMPLISHED RESULTS
There comes to our desk this week a copy of "The Open Door",
a house newspaper published by the K. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for their salesmen, employes, their
jobbers ami ucalers. Tlii.s company was established in 1875 and has
grown to be one of the world factors in its line, having made since
1910 the largest increase in tobacco history. The credit for this itn
meii&e giwv. Lii L l-.'o ly due to their newspaper advertising, they hav
ing always been consistent users of new6papcr space. That the uso
of newspaper space has paid them is proved by the fact that this
company, in the manufacture of smoking and chewing tobaccos
GAINED from 1910 to 1915, inclusive, a total of 31,629,901 pounds,
while all other factories combined, in the same period LOST 37,254,
!)33 pounds.
PREVENTION WILL CURE 'CRIME WAVE
Tho people of Alliance have had during the last few days an op
portunity o see the results of allowing young criminals to run at
large. Two Alliance boys had been in difficulty with the police a
number of times on account of thievery and small crimes. One of
'hMii was sent to the state reformatory and shortly afterwards pa
.oled. Other scrapes which they got into were forgiven and they
seemingly got the idea that crime was a profitable way of making
asy money the result was the breaking into of a number of box cars
find stealing goods and finally the robbing of an Alliance jewelry
-tore. If these chaps should be turned loose upon the public again at
I his t ime it would undoubtedly mean that an officer would be serious
ly injured and perhaps killed when he attempted to arrest them. First
I'ffcnses can and oftentimes should be forgiven, but when young men
persist in crime after having been given opportunity after opportun
ity to reform, they should be placed where the public will be safe
from tehir criminal activities. The railroad could very easily step
in and prosecute these young men in the federal courts for robbing
!ox care, taking the matter entirely away from the local authorities.
Another example of misdirected efforts is that of the young col
Ted man who now lies in jail in this city charged with robbing an
,ther man and with stealing a laruje amount of valuable goods from a
local hotel. This young man a few years ago was regarded as an lion
st young man and a good worb r. But he began keeping company
vith sports and those who don't believe in work he soon acquired a
imputation for dishonesty and after getting out of a few scrapes he is
iow facing a term in the penitentiary. The punishment inflicted up
'.n him will be more severe on his wife and child and upon his hard
working mother than upon himself. But he had been given repeated
varnings which he failed to heed.
