THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE

THE BUSY LINE
Ot nil sad words of tonguo or pen, that aggrav.ato tho cars of man,
until tho weak ones want to cuss, while repetition makes things uss,
the bitterest words that como my way, Is, when I hear tho central say,
"Lino's blzzyl"
It allors makes mo fairly groan, to grab that handy office phono, and
growl a number In tho thing, cxpoctln' that tho gal will ring, when "cllck-etty-cUck"
thero comes a buzz that would upset tho .Man of Uz, "Lino's
blzzyl"
It lacerates a feller's wits, an makes him paw, an chump tho bits,
when ho puts In a hurry call, that won't admit delay at all, Of courao it
flopB him, mighty near, to have it gritted in his ear, "Lino's blzzyl"
You know I hardly over grouch, or duck my game, or holler "ouch,''
but whon I hoar that doggono click, it mighty nearly makes mo sick, and
throws my1 patienco out of whack, to kotch that ovorlastln' quack, "Lino's
blzzy!"

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.

After some discussions ana ar

stltutlon was looked over and It is
discovered, or rather the memory 13

vised In tho matter of judges, who arc
all elected on non-political ballots
Tho revisions made on this matter Is
that beginning with tho year 1920 su
preme judges, district judges and
county judges shall Bervo for a term
of four years. This settles tho moot

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

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

How can wo reduce taxes?

How can frolght rates bo reduced and railroad business rostorod
How canwo pay our debts, public and prlvato?

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.
If you aro not a subscriber, tho World-Horald would like to havs
you for a subscriber. Tho price Is -0.00 a year, or we will bo glad
to send It to you for six month h for $3.00. This includes the Sunday
World-Horald.
' It con be honestly said that the World-Herald is the largest nul
best daily and Sunday newspaper in tho state and one ot the largest
and best In tho whole west Its news service Is superior to thit of any
othor Nebraska newspaper. It publishes more and better market re
ports than any Nebraska newspaper, It lias tho full Associated Press
service. It 1ms many special correspondents. It has many literary
features Including stories. Its Sunday Issue Is almost equal to a
magazine It carries almost twice as muoh advertising as any nows
papor in Nebraska. It has a , circulation of over 81,000 copies a day.
It has a flno special mblo servico of tho news of tho world. It ban
features for women and features for children, nnd for six months P.
