Second Class Matter. FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1915. Tilts Tribune's Position. Thq Trltnino will support E. II. Evnns for mayor, and will do this without attempting to slnndor San ford llartman, who it regards as .ono of our best citizens. Each voter has a right to vqto fqr the candldato who In his opinion whethor that opinion may bo right or wrong will glvo the best service all around. Not withstanding tho unjust criticisms that are heard, tho untruthful stories that hnvo anil nro being circulated, Mr. Evnrts IrtiH mado a good mayor, In fact his record Is abovo tho average and for tho tlmo and attention ho has given Iho oinco and for tho good work ho has porformod, Tho Trlbuno cdnsldors that ho Is entitled to a re-election As to llccnso or no llconso, Tho Trlbuno differs, and differs honestly, from many, In that It doos not coii sldor that city prohibition or county prohibition Is a success; that It docs not prohibit tho uso of liquor; that it creates tho boot-legging system; that It opens tho way for Illegal traf ficking of liquor whorcas It Is now le galized under lawful restraint. Thcso conditions aro changed where state prohibition exists, and especially undor tho recent rulings mado by tho lntor-otato.. railroad commission rch ga'rdlng liquor shipments. Tho Trl buno Is emphatically In favor of federal prohibition, and It consldoro thai this much wished for enactment Is but u few years off. But during this campaign thoro Is ono thing that you can dopend upon Tho Trlbuno will not vllllfy any citi zen; it will not Blander tho town. More than this, It will not purfluo any courso that will array ono fac tion of citizens against another, thus creating an ill-fcollng that will part, friends, that will disrupt business, or that will In any way retard tho progress of tho city Slandering Hie Town. Tho Trlbuno hus no apology to make for gambling In any form that may be cnrrlcd on, for tho presence of scarlet women, for tho fracture of tho law by any poraon whomBOovor, but It doco enter a protest against tho weird, lurid and totally Irresponsible statements that aro being mado on tho streets concerning tho Immoral doprajlty of North Platte If oven ono-half of these untruthful stories woro truthful, the moral condition of Sodom and Gomor rah of old would sink Into utter insig nificance compared with tho depravity In tho North Platto of today, Tho most improbable hearsay stories aro ac cepted as facts by people who do not know tho actual conditions and who do not seem inclined to lonrn such, and each .tlmo they uro told and re-told, tho vlclouoncss Is inllatcd. Tho clrcu latlon of thCBO untruthful stories Is a Blandor on our citizenship, and wo trust that those who havo tho best IntorostH. of North Plntto Blnoorcly at heart will assist In refuting ihem, V. P. Laud Bill Killed. By a voto of llfty-olght to thirty-one, the lower houso of tho Nebraska legis lature on Tuesday killed tho hill which Intended to deny the Union Pacific tho right of condemnation unless It should gain possession of nil land It now holds in excess of the 200 feet of rlght-of- wjiy. It was assorted that many of tho farmers along tho Union Pacific who havo received quit claim deeds for Mutual Building & Loan Association of North Platte, Nebraska. Organized 18S7. ..Have plenty of money on hands to close loans promptly. Will loan on North Platte City property for" building purposes or to assist its members in buy ing homes or paying off mortgages. Tho monthly payments on $1000.00 loan are on principal $5.00 and interest $6.00 or $11.00 in all and on other sums in proportion. t. everything except 200 feet nro not now being disturbed In their possesion, but that If tho bill should pass the Union Pacific, In defenso of Us Inter ests, would bo compelled to tako back from thcso farrnors the land Included In tlio full -100-fooot strip. And further thnt If tho bill would havo tho effect Intended by Its Introducor It would bo depriving tho Union Pacific without compensation of twenty-four acres to every alternate mile of track, or a total of 4,100 acres In tho state. Largo sales or young unbrokon horses aro adddlng to tho activity of Kansas City stockmen, who nro said to have supplied agents of bolllgcront countries slnco September 1 with G0, 000 horses and mules, valued at $12, 000,000, and aro endeavoring to Bupply the French government with an ad ditional 20,000 head. UnHcd Stales Self-Suxtnlnliig. If an embargo on exports and Im ports from Europo should result ns an outcome of present negotiations what would bo tho effect on tho United States? Should all tralllc with Europo' bo entirely cut ott, a readjust ment of Eomo of tho dctnlls of busi ness would bo necessitated, but othor wlao tho United States woud go on about tho same. Somo domestic ar ticles of gcnornl uso might ceaao to masquerade undor foreign labels, but thnt la about all that would greatly change. Tho United States produces every thing that Is needed for tho comfort and woll being of Its people, and Is cnpablo of supplying Its ovory want. Llfo would go without communication from Europo In much tho samo way. with tho creation and accumulation of wealth, tho production of all use ful and necessary articles, and tholux urles of llfo as well, and tho people would progress In all lllo ways of civilization. Tho United States is ab solutely self-nuslalnlng. Tho strength of this position enn liardly bo understood, but Is the more appreciated when tho position of somo of our European competitors is con sidered. In this strength Is found tho surest guaranty for tho contln uanco of tho pcaco and posterity of this nntlon. Omaha Hoc. The L'uj (if iviitfliif-r.if-n. In the wngo controversy nt Chicago between the western, railroads nnd tholr onglnomon, the past weolc has been taking up largely with rebuttal cvidenco nnd discussion regarding tho avorago pay of engineers and firemen on tho western ronds. W. J. Louck, tho Btatlstlcul export of the two brotherhoods, said that ho had examined tho data of tho railroads very curofully, and hnd found tho avorngo pay per month for 857 onglnoors em ployed on different roads was $143.17. Only 25 per cent of tho engineers earn moro than $175 pormonth. As to flremon Mr. Louck said 55 per cont earn less than $91 and 45 per cent less than $83. Thcso averages apply to some nlne-ty-olght roads. If tho Union Pacific was taken clngly tho average wpuld bo higher. Mrs. Abbott PuKnch Away.
