Perhaps there nro othors who llvo
horo now who remember tho building
of tho old wooden brldgo across tho
South Platto.
Thero Is a llttlo pleco of sentiment
going tho rounds of tho stato which
is Interesting to us. It has to do
with tho great seal of Nebraska. Tho
seal Is a form of heraldry which is nt
tached to tho official proclamations
and other documents of tho state.
Formerly tho seal of a people was
tho moro respected on account of its
ago but it seems that tho prcsont gen
oration, ashamed of those things
which como down to us from tho
forefathers, Is attempting to chango
tho great seal of this stato a seal
which was adopted when tho stato
was admitted to the union Horo i9
the seal:
A littlo fire started tho other day
at tho corner of tho two story framo
building next to the alloy on Locust
neiweon imui ana sixtn streets. Tho
building owned by W. H. McDon
ald. Tho alarm was given and tho
fire boys arrived Just as tho flames
wore gaining somo headway Insldo the
siding. The fire was promptly, ex
tinguished. -Tho next day Mr. Mr.
McDonald sent his check for $25 to
tho firo boys. Following is a copy of.
tho letter they sent in acknowledging
the check:
North Platte, Neb., Dec. 3, 1921. f
Mr. W. H. McDonald,
Sir: We wish to thank you for the
token of appreciation extended to us
by your check amounting to $25. Wo
assuro you and the citizens of our
clty promptness and our duty to tho
fire alarm at all times. Thanking you
again, I remain, youra truly,
J. Southall, Secretary.
The motto, "Equality Beforo tho
Law" Is tho basiB of our domocrncy
and yet tho G. A. R, had to mako a
strong showing in order to retain tho
motto in tho now seal. Tho plcturo
of tho steamboat on tho Missouri nnd
tho railroad train, omblomatlo of
commorce, of tho cabin of tho settler
and tho sheaves of grain, standing for
agriculture, tho smith at tho anvil,
typifying labor and tho natural re
sources as shown in tho trees, grass
and animals all theso spoko tho
hopes nnd ambitions of tho pioneers
who designed tho seal. What can wo
substitute for this seal which will
mean moro to us than tho memory
of thoso who mado tills stato what It
Is. Shall wo blot out all traco of
their efforts and substltuto airplanes,
Jazz and bluo-sky promoters for their
predecessors on our great seal?

EQUALIZING SALARIES OF
EMPLOYEES
A special committee oC tho city
council litis been appointed to rovteu
tho salary schedule of city employees
and mako changes that will equalize

liminary report to tho council on last
Tuesday ovonlng but on account of
tho absonco of two of tho mombors,
tho wholo matter was postponed. It
argued that tho snlarlos'woro sot nt
tho tlmo whon mon nnd womon wore
scarco nnd labor was high and that
now thero Is plenty of labor and that
wagoB aro lower and tho city in debt.
Tho employees say that they cannot
mako ends meot on a less salary than
that which thoy aro now receiving of
othor omployors. Thoy say that somo
of tho employees nro trained and
skilled In tho spoclal work thoy do
and that it will bo imposs bio to fill
their places with chcapor mon. Tho
councllmon say thoy must cut ex
'pensos and that somo of tho om:
ployeos can stand a small cut at this
time as living is cheaper than It waB
and that tho city Is paying moro for
certain kinds of sorvlco than Is paid
for tho samo sorvlco by other omploy
ors. Not all of tho councllmon aro
agreed on tho matter and thoy have
not been unanimous as to tho places
whero cuts shall bo mndo nor as to
tho amount which shall bo lopped off

that tho matter will bo brought up
