NO LYCEUM It is to bo regrptted that the ly coum did not pay out this year. We still maintain, as we always havo, that tho lyceum Is a good thing for a town. But it is rather discouraging to those who bollevo in the lyceum and its good influence to be com pelled to crowd upon a resisting public a thing they do not seem to want and dig up $14.00 each for the privilege. For our part we would say to let tho lyceum drop for a year or two. Maxwell Telepost. menco writing contracts for bectj.

This settles tho moot ed question, and Judgo Tewell, who was appointed to fulfill Judgo Grimes' term, will continue to servo until tho proper judicial election In 1924. Sid ney Telegraph. TRANSMISSION The latest developments In tho pro posd Brady to North Platte transmis sion Hue are that the successful! bid ders, the Hennlngston Engineering Even with the holiday Interruption, tho week has been productive of a further moderate enlargement of the Volume of business. fWhllo clearly lacking uniformity, tho betterment of conditions is more distinct in differ ent brandies of enterprise, and indi cations point to continued gradual and irregular progress. Response to tho recent noteworthy rise ot grain prlcos has appeared In tho strength ed conflndence and increased buying of morchandlso In Uie west, and fi nancial sentiment has roflccted tho easlor money situation and tho up ward trend of securities markets. Un favorable aspects are still conspicu ous and will not be quickly eliminated but the underlying factors that will govern the future course ot ibuslness are moro reassuring, and moro posi tive evidence of revival Is disclosed In Iron and steel and elsowhero. With tho end ot tho winter approaching, seasonal expansion of operations be gins to develop In various trades and sections of tho country, and unem ployment of workers, altho remain ing an unsatlsfactorf feature It rath er less extensive than recently. Tho Improvement In this connection has been retarded by etrlHes at jsomo manufacturing centors yet wage re ductlons havo been accepted, In some Instances whero controversies havo arisen, and labor uncertainties In tho transportation and fuel fields have not had a general disturbing Influ ence.. While tho many conflicting phases render a broad characteriza tion of conditions difficult, It Is signi ficant that thero is moro ot a dispo sition, to place replenishment orders as stocks of goods become .depleted, and purchasing In anticipation of for ward rcqulrments if continuing very conservative is .brondening moder ately. :o: Miss Nell Cooney and Bister, Mrs Keith Morehouse, returned Sunday night from Omaha whero they attend ed the funeral of their cousin, Mm.

The North Platte Tribune WILSON TOUT, Editor. For the North Platte Tribune Directory of Pre-bred Live Stock. TO THE EDITOR: I have the following varieties of pure bred live stock on my pUce- Narai Address... This year promises to bo notable for big problems. "What can bo dono to restoro prosperity to the country How can wo reduce taxes? How can stablo good prices for farm products bo brought back? How can frolght rates bo reduced and railroad business rostorod How canwo pay our debts, public and prlvato? How can tho millions ot ldlo men bo put to work? How can wo get back to a profltablo relationship with Europo, the groat customer for our surplUB cotton, corn, copper, wheat, cattle and hogs? How can wo got rid of tho burdons of war and mako tho blessings of peaco pormanont? Wo havo oponed a new chapter in tho world's history. To study It and to undorstand It ull should read a daily newspa per, and Sonator Hitchcock's newspaper, tho Omaha World-Herald, is boyond doubt tho largest and tho best in Nebraska. Sonator Hitchcock established this paper in 188G. nearly thirty-' seven year ago. For moro than a third ot a oontury, therefore, this nowspapor has been under his control and management. During many of those years ho acted as editor. In 1804, on his Invitation, Mr. William J. Bryan becamo oditor for two years, only resigning to run for president Mr. Bryan was succeeded as oditor by Mr. R. L. Metcalf and on Uiq lattor's resignation Mr. Hitchcock again took ovor tho editorship. At that tlmo ho associated with himself Mr. IL B. Nowbranch. About that tlmo Mr. Hitchcock entored tho lower houso ot congress whore ho sorved threo terms. Whon e'octed to tho United SUites senate olevon years ago ho turned over full editorial re sponsibility to Mr. Nowbranch, who has been a member of tho World Herald Btaff for twenty-three years. For thlrty-soven ycarB Senator Hitchcock has been president ot tho company which owns and publishes the, World-Herald. With steady and unsworvlng purpose ovor that long period the nowspapor has fought tho battlo of tho people. During about half tliat tlmo Mr. Hitchcock lias been In public lifo in Washington and what ho has stod for thoro his newspaper has led tho fight for in tho west. The policy of tho World-Herald haB been permanent and it has been popular. Another element In tho success of the World-Hernld 1ms been Itn indopondenco Behind Its ownersship thoro are no public utilities, no railroad interests, no entangling alliances either corporate or indi vidual. The result Is a free and untrammoled newspaper which undor unchanged ownership and control has stood uniformly for public in terest and popular rights for all theso years. Among tho cause? which it championed In the past are the maximum frolght law, tho an-U-pasB law, tho two-cent fare law, and tho law for taxation ot railway terminals. Tho World-Herald 1b a pioneer in the fight tor direct pri maries, for tho popular election of United States senators, for the graduated lncomo tax, for tho Initiative and referendum, for tho guar antee of hank doposlts, for postal savings banks, for tho farm loan banking system, nnd for tho municipal ownership of water works In Omaha. As the leading exponent of progressive domocrncy tho World Herald fought tho battles for William J. Bryan in threo presidential campaigns nnd did its share to carry Nebraska for Woodrow Wilson In two groat campaigns. Its leadership In fusion movements In tho early 90's helped to roa cuo tho stato from tho rallroadB and othor corporato Interests nnd to make Nobrnska ono of tho progrosslvo states of tho union. In all tho great constructive acts of Woodrow Wilson's adminis tration tho World-Herald as a nowspapor, and Sonator Hitchcock at. Its chief owner, took an nctlvo part. A slncoro bollovor In fundamental democratic doctrine, Mr. Hitch cock has not hesitated to differ with his party and its leadership whon his convlctlonB Impelled him to that course Tho World-Horald today stands for tho samo gonoral policies In tho Interest of tho people that It has championed for tljlrty-Bovea years. It stands with Sonator Hitchcock In tho fight ho lias made to promoto tho Interests of agriculture and reduco tho gonoral bunions of taxation, to maintain tho graduated income Uuc on largo Incomes and the excess profits taxes on highly profitable business. It stands with him In hla effort to secure broader and moro profltablo markets for tho surplus products of America, including the cotton of tho south and tho grain and live stock of tho west. It stands, as ho stands, for disarmament, for cutting governmental expenses, Btato and na tional, for simplifying government and for getting back to Jefferson lan simplicity In public affairs. It stands for Senator Hitchcock's bill providing for the establish ment of a Bank of Nations in order that It may bo made possible to establish a system of credit to BtimuUto tho sales of our products, to European countries and revive our export trade so that tho farmera nnd stock raisers may got living prices for their corn, tholr wheat, their cattle and their hogs. Anyone desiring a copy of this bill to gether with an explanation of it will reoelvo it by dropping a postni card to the World-Herald, whether he Is a subscriber or not.
