'It Is with a feeling of regret tnai The business of The Alliance Her
we announce to Herald readerB this nu wm De conducted under the
week a change in ownersuip ana
management of The Alliance Herald,
yet it is with pleasure that we an
nounce as our successors men of ei-j
perience and ability who will give
Herald readers and Herald advertis
ers even better service than we hare
been able to render during past
months.
Eleven years ago, when we pur
chased The Alliance Herald, we were
new to western Nebraska: Since that
time our acquaintance has broadened
and our knowledge of the city of Al
liance and Its surrounding territory
has Increased until we feel that we
almost know personally every mem
ber of The Herald's great family of
readers, many of whom have read
this newspaper every issue during
this period.
During the past year we have had
other interests which required the
major portion of our time and ef
forts. Because of this fact and be
cause we have lately been unable to
rive nractleally anytime' or atten
tlon to the newspaper and the large
Job printing business connected
therewith, we were much pleased
when the opportunity came to trans
fer our Interests to two live wires
who have made good in eastern Ne
braska and who now come to west
ern Nebraska to take up their resi
dence and to give our readers a
newspaper that will grow in value
and interest every issue
We do not feel that we are leav
ing our hundreds of friends, and
readers, for we expect to bo a fre-
auent contributor to these columns,
but we do know that with the atten
tion and service of our successors the
ewsnaner will be bigger and better
tlVhAn ever before and the large OP-
P01 ft unities In this field will be
Kri,Isned nuicklv and in an able
mnl
nner.
tt is with much pleasure that we

making a financial and business suc

weeklies in eastern Nebraska.
George Burr comes to The Herald

John W. Thomas, farmer editor of

my faith in western Nebraska,, in its
leading city Alliance, and in its
leading newspaper The Alliance
Herald. I wish to recommend to
every citizen of Alliance "The Town
Creed," given to us by Nelson S.
Darling, which is as follows:
"I BELIEVE IN ALLIANCE. I
believe in her people, in her boys and
in her girls. I will make myself a
committee of one to make of Alliance
a gooa piace in wnicn to live and a
mighty hard place to leave.
"I BELIEVE IN ALLIANCE. I
believe in her, institutions, in her
churches and in her stores. I believe
In the street'broom and street sweep
er 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
siaewaiK or on floor.

grass instead of ash heaps, and flow
ers Instead of weeds. I will forget
jealousies if I have any and trest all
people with charity and considera
tion. May God bless the tongue
that gives honest praise and com
mendation and may He doubly bless
the ear that is dead to scandal and
gossip. If I cannot speak good of
my neighbor I 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 channels where
its equivalent In wealth was original
ly created, to circulate and do good
among the folks who are n part of
the community of which I ant n Iart,
in the place that I tall homi, p.weet

What is the Best
Watch Made?
That is a personal question.
A watch that is best for Jim
Hawkins may not be the best
for Sam Drown.
You cuolit to have the per
sonal advice of an expert when
you buy a watch. You are
murh more likely to get a sat
isfactory timepiece if you do.
You get good advice here.
We realize that having you
satisfied is worth more to us
than the profit on the watch.
We want to fix you up so sat
isfactorily that you will tell
your friends that Thiele's is
the best place to go to buy a
watch.
Naturally, that means that
our prices, as well as our
watches and service, must be
satisfactory.

WHAT t NFAIUNKS UKOlXiHT.
A sense fo fairness would have
served almost as well as a genius for
statesmanship in Baving the uepuDii
can majority in Congress from the
difficulties with which they are con
fronted in finding a means of reduc
ing taxation without at the same
Ume impairing revenues. Had they
co-operated with the last Democratic
Congress in anticipating some of the
problems that were forseen as a con
sequence of the war, they would
have escaped at once the duty of for
mulating and passing this legislation
and the responsibility for Its failure.
If It proved inadequate or unwise.
They would have begun the work or.
the extra session with at- least tem
porary relief from fiscal burdens and
would have had time and opportun
ity to devise and enact eultable
measures. . ,. .l.c...

ment. But. having refused to be fair
they were unable to be clever.
These leaders now find themselves
in a quandary. They have let ap
propriations outrun Income by some
two billions of dollars, and if the
luxury taxes are repealed and no
equally productive sources of reve
nue are provided, this excess of ex
penditures over receipts will grow
largear. They sought credit for re
pealing these exercises in the extra
session, and this design prompted
them to prevent their abolition by
the Democrats in the regular tesslon.
They hoped to inquire a dunce for
glory. They hav inherited only a
cause of embarrassment.
