It has been an ex ceed In Rly bupy year, not without ex citement nt times and never without Interest. A yenr rko The Herald was a weekly, rrnmmcd with advert islnp from Omaha and Lincoln depart ment stores, with a circulation that was, to some extent, ornamental. The year has brought a number of changes, as years are apt to do. The Herald has changed from a weekly to a semi-weekly. The quality of Its circulation, the life-blood of any publication, has changed from a pale blue to a rich red. Without any boasting, or exaggeration, The Her ald can say that it has more paid-in-advance readers than any other newspaper printed or published In this trade territory. Better than that, it is holding these subscribers. A year ago, The Herald was filled with advertising from Omaha and Lincoln department stores. The new owners effected an Immediate change of policy. For the past year no ad Tertlsement has been accepted that would have had the effect of drawing trade In any line away from Alliance to the larger centers. This stand is one that is now held by very few of the smaller publishers. The mail order advertising comes unsolicited nd pays the highest rates promptly. It's what is known as "easy money." The ads are in plate form there Is no labor in composition or ad-writing. But the owners of The Herald, while they naturally desire to make a financial success of their business, don't feel that it is fair or right to attempt to build up this city on one page and to tear it down on The other. During the year we have added a considerable amount of new type, machinery and other equipment. Our new typesetting machine . ought to be coming in within the next two or three weeks. For the next year, we plan other improvements. With the kind of encouragement and sup port we hne received, nothing is Impossible. It has been a much better year in every way than we had expected and better than our greatest hopes. To those who have helped us grow, we extend our slnccne thanks. We are going to show our appreciation by continuing to make The Hersld a good as lies within our power, and by continuing to give genuine service. We've learned a lot this Inst year, and if good fortune b ours, we'll keep on learning and serving. That Is our ambition, and who shall say that It Is not a worthy one? Chamber of Commerce Carnival Week Till' FRONT 101101. "We must bear the torch of con stitutionalism to th menacing in volvements of international Justice and advancing aspiration, for .the supel governmi nt and ptesei ved in heritance of national freedom can only be reconciled with readjustment and world relation if the dt-signntel sentinels commit the moral force of the covenant of conscience to the fraternized conscience of the na tions." That Is a sentence from one of Senator Harding's speeches, although at first blush one might take it for a stanza from Browning's "Sordello" or a paragraph from a love story by Henry James. Samuel Blythe, vet eran Washington correspondent, comments on It as follows: "What he meant was, 'Let. us watch our step. What he said was that amazing clutter of words, that oratorical outgiving of an oratorical mind. They get that way. And no wonder. This running for president Is a parlous matter. Harding the editor, the senator, the private citi zen, can express an opinion, or not, as he chooses, and it will be Just that an opinion, to be taken or reject ed, or neither. But when Harding the candidate has an opinion it Is not only Harding's opinion but It Is the opinion of his party because he Is the leader of his party; and the eas iest way to express opinions, or seem to, is to use much language in the operation. Language, commonly held to conceal thought, is used In presi dential politics to obliterate thought. You'll find that true of all candidates especially nil presidential candidates. The only time they can fie direct Is when they are assailing the opposi tion. When they are upholding them selves they must be cautious, for anything a presidential candidate says about himself or his party can be used against them both." The only way in which we differ with Mr. Blythe's translation is tT.at. in the first place, we don't think "Watch your step" is quite the thought the distinguished senator intended to convey. We firmly be- All Week", Commencing ATTRACTION FURNISHED BY WESTERMAN BROS.
