Official nwpaper of the City of
Alliance; official newspaper of Ilox
Uutte County.
Owned an! published by The Rorr
Printing Company, Georjre L. Rurr,
Jr., President; Edwin M. Burr, Vice
President, WHAT'S IN A NAME?
From time to time duiinjr the pat
few yearn we have labored in Alliance,
there have been theories to explain
the reason that certain of the union
laborers in Alliance feel antagonistic
to the chamber of commerce. There
may be some truth to all the conjec
tures, or none of them. Out of all
the opinions that have been expressed.
there In but one that Feem.s to hold
water and that is, that some of the
unionists believe that the local organi
zation of business men is affiliated
v.!ih the United States chamber of
commerce. The national organization
is actively fifthtin the unions and its
officers are spending a hutfe fund in
missionary work to increase the popu
larity and extent of the so-called
American plan the open sJiop.
Of course, official of the Alliance
chamber have promptly and thorough
ly denied that there is any connection
vith the national organization. Com
mon Fense would tell the unionists
the same thine, for why should the
merchants of Alliance help in a fiyht
ii gainst their best cir tomers, especially
when they have nothing to gain by it ?
But this erroneous belief still per
sists, A prominent memler of Mr.
Minort's farmer-labor bloc, in a talk
with The Herald editor, rt it this
way: "If the chamber of commerce
isn't connected with the national or
ganization," he a.-ked, "why did it
change its name. Two years ago it
..nu Virt Pnmmnnitv rluli rwiw it'a the
chamber of commerce. If it were still j
the Community club. I know dozens of i
labor union men who'd be glad to get
into it. But so long as they carry
a name like they use now, nothing do
ing. They couldn't give me a mem
bership in a chamber of commerce."
There you have it, gentlemen. The
fellow who said, "What's in a name?"
and intended to imply that a rose by
any other name would smell as sweet,
didn't know what he was talking about.!
There are some words, harmless
rnouirh in themselves, that fill the
nearer with repulsion. The name and others before he is taken, but in and betake themselves to some sub--chamber
of commerce," to any labor these days it's hard to get aw ay with . " f -' thi.J exceed-
union man who is ot tne fignung type,
has just the same effect as a red rag
loes upon a gentleman cow.
Probably it's useless to explain that
.i . i i .. I... . -.1 1... '
me Alliance uusuiess intn uiiojuvu mc
new name on the recommendation of
one of the secretaries in the not far
distant past The secretary thought the
name "Community club" a bit countri
fied and small-tow nish, whereas he be-
lieved "chamber of commence" to be
dignified and imposing. The directors (
didn't object they believed that if the
secretary preferred to serve n chamber
of commerce to a community club,
there wasn't any little thing they could
do for him that would cost less. And
o it was written into the minutes.
Funny, isn't it, how apparently
harmless things sometimes prove to
le troublemakers. There was a story
of a Nebraska editor in a small town
vho described a kwn party given by
a banker's wife as a "big fete." His
printer made a slight error, as printers
w ill do, and the published article l efer
ed to "Mrs. S-and-so's Big Feet." The
editor apologized handsomely, and
made it plain that in his opinion "fete"
was a tony word. But the banker's
wife never forgave him. Perhaps, in
time, he got to that he d'dn't care.
It doesn't seem possible that there
are in Alliance very many union men
xvho are fighting the chamber of com
merce because of its choice of a name.
After all, it's the spirit that counts,
and it w ill be recalled that even in the
old days when Alliance had a Com
munity club, there were always some
xvho were ready to attribute unworthy
motives to the men at the head of 't.
The business men can't be expected to
go more than half-way.
THE WAR FRAUDS PROBE
pecially those of a republican cast, are
going into ecstacies over the promised
probe of war frauds. Congressman
Iteavis of Nebraska has resigned in
order to assist Attorney General
Daugherty in the work, and one or
two other more or less prominent poli-'
ticians who have harped on the subject (

nated assistants.
This isn't a new thing with Mr.1

administration. If so, it is likely that t last year he was paroled, even
urosecution will be vigorous. "The! though he attempted to conceal from
lid is about to be blown off this graft
thing," ia the way the announcement
reads. It's regrettable, of course,
that Mr. Daugherty waited until he
was under fire before doing his inves
tigating in earnest, but it comes bet
ter late than never. It would be bet-
ter were the attorney general actuated
by some desire other than to "get
even," but we've heard to much talk
of graft that it would be a pleasant
sensation to have a few convictions by
way of a change.
In addition to his motive of revenge,
Mr. Daugherty will have another in
centive to stir his stumps. The Ohio
State Journal, a republican new-spaper,
and also a critic of Mr. Daugherty,'
has struck the proper chord in refer-1
ring to the proposed probe. "Our own I
further unparalleled offer for the day," i
The Journal calls it. "We will give
$2,500 in gold for every grafting con- j
tractor put in jail by Harry Daugherty,
with an extra prize of a genuine Pack
ard Single-Six in every case where
said grafting war contractor so placed
in jail is a republican."

To enjoy the best of health and make the most

mate and method of every day living. There's
no denying it, the best investment many folks
make is their vacation.

He is said to Ik? a well educate man.
He bas been very free with promises

entirely too many paroled and par

end to the promiscuous pardoning of

not, as a rule, too strict. A recent

that prisoners be kept in the peniten

GIVING ADVICE.
(Nebraska City Press.)
Seven-tenths of the editorial writers
of this country, Ed Howe ays, are
good men, giving bad advice on sub
jects they know nothing about. But
why restrict this sort of criticism to
the newspaper writers. Most men are
fond of giving advice, and most advice
is rotten at the core. For instance, the
man who is selected to deliver an
hour's advice to a graduating class is
usually "off his base'' and never takes
his own medicine. One of the best Up
lift speeches we ever listened to came
from the mouth of a man who was
later indicted for criminal practices.
But that doesn't mean, necessarily,
that all advice is bad or that the ad
monition to young people that they live j
right, work hard and have patience
and courtesy in their make-ups is en
tirely wrong. Crookedness is wrong
inherently and it doesn't pay, in s),ite
of the seeming indifference of the law
to the wrongdoers.

You Should Know EXACTLY
Which Grade of Motor Oil to Use
IT sometimes happens that an unusual operating con
dition in a given make of motor makes advisable the
use of a grade of motor oil which would not have been
used had the motorist used ordinary methods of selec
tion or followed casual advice. t
The matter of finding precisely the right lubricants for
your motor for everybody's motor seemed so neces
sary to this company that our experts examined the
entire field of automotive equipment; testing, checking
and re-testing, until a chart of specifications was evolved
which makes it impossible for you to go wrong.
This chart, called the Polarine Chart, is printed in the
Red Crown Road Map, which has been mailed to every
Nebraska motorist. If you have not received it, write
direct to the company. A brief glance at the chart will
tell you which grade of Polarine you should use. Follow
the specifications consistently and much of the over
hauling, replacement of worn or broken parts, burned
out bearings and other expensive and unnecessary repair
jobs will be eliminated.
Polarine Oil is made in four grades medium light, medium heavy,
heavy, and extra heavybut only one quality Get the proper
grade for your car at the same place you buy clean-burning,
