COMING A CIVIC FORUM.
ALLIANCE, Neb., Feb. 20 To the
Editor of The Herald: When editors
make mistakes the public is quick to
condemn, when they do a good piece
of work they should be commended. In
one of your recent issues you wrote an
editorial under the heading of, "A Day
in Politics.' which has been the sub
ject of much comment among the
people of the county. In fact, it has
aroused more comment, than anything
that has appeared in the papers for
some time,

we will be open to criticism, because
of our profession, but we feel that any
move that will educate people along
the question of good government is
commendable, and we are willing to be
criticised.
We hone to Bee the day when a cmc
forum will be organized in Box Butte
county where cuetion of a public na
lure will be discussed in a lrienaiy
fashion, and to this end we Bhall bend
our eifort tomorrow. There ' is no
reason why our church buildings can
not be open to the public for a forum
every Sunday afternoon, conducted
along parliamentary lines, as ine uos
ton Forum has been carried on for
years. The Baptist church building is
hereby offered to the public for such
use.
It is a matter of pride to us that we
called the meeting of last week, a week
before the national leaders of the
farmers and the labor unions called
theirs. In last Saturday's papers we
read that such a meeting was called,
at which they shall seek a coalition of
farmers and union men in oruer to
solve their individual and mutual prob
lems. Alliance is not fo slow after all,
We read. "There will be no new politi
cal parties, or radical plans come out
of these conferences. The new organ
ization will be formed along lines al

ers of the farmers and laboring men.
Thev base their hopes upon their abii
ity to get the sympatny oi ine pudiic

the polls on election day for men who
stand for progress and the square

The day of letting the ward-healer
and precinct leader do the political
thinking has passed and this move
ment seeks to take the political control
out of their hands, and give every man
and woman a chance to know what the
franchise involves, and the carrying
out of its responsibilities in a way that
will reflect credit to citizenship. By
remaining in our respective parts we
hope to exert our influence upon the
parties to put 100 per cent men and
women in office.
Why should not the farmer and the
town man be as well posted politically
as the professional politician; lo in
spire people in any direction you must
inform them, and to inform them you
must eive them a chance to discuss the
questions of interest. These meetings
are held as clearing house for infor
mation, and we hope to see men of all
parties coming out to these meetings
and inve their sides or tne questions,
Such a civic forum will provide that
opportunity. We would like to hear
what the folks of Alliance and the
county think about such a plan. Come
