WHAT LS THE NEED?
At the adjourned session of the Ne
braska Press association in Lincoln a
new constitution was adopted which
embraced the employment of a field
secretary whose duty it shall be to go
among the brethren and tell them how
to conduct their business, among other
things, says the Ilavclock Post. It is
plan that has been tried in Iowa
...il t :x
wun more or less success, it
claimed, but its feasibility in Nebraska
ii- doubted by many of the craft. We
believe the annua! gatherings of the
press association are for the purpose
cf renewing friendships, talking over
trad" conditions anil exchanging views
is to the best means for bettering our
condition, these things can be areem-
d. hod at cither a business or social
cs.-ion. We believe there should be
wo meetings a year--one of purely
-oe al and one of purely business na
ture, but you cannot kerp rociability
out of a business alfuir any more than
you can keep business out of one of
the ic-ial affairs. The views that a,-e
i.ed by our brother editor." aie ah
soibed by us just so much as we want
ic I,M,rb them, hist rr.ui-Ii thev
ire cf benefit to us.
The plan to force the small news
aper man in a town of five hundred
with a business of two thousand dol-
ars a year to pay for the privilege cf j
receiving instructions on how to run j
his business when the instructions are
entirely inappropriate to the business,
is unjust, because he pays i?5 a year
for a privilege that is a burden. It
may be all l ight to charge the news
paper man who is in a town of two
thousand people $10 for instructions,
because he probably dees a business
of 10,000 to SloiOO a year and can
afford to risk the ten.
Hut what we want to know is, what
man will the press association be able
to employ who is so brainy that he can
go around indiscriminately and find j
the leaks in the country press? Will!
he be some man who has made a fail
ure of his own venture, or v.ill he be
one who has made a success and it
patriot enough to his profession to be
willing to give time and money to the
innovation? Fellows who are making
a success of their newspapers are kept
busy at their desks following up their
task, for when they let loose the paper
goes to smash. Personality counts in
the newspaper game more than in any
other. And r. one will pay any atten
tion to the failure, whether it cost?
S-o or not.
Let us forget this field secretary
business and return again to the rocial
affair once a year, when business can
be talked if need be; and have a busi
ness session once a year, when social
matters can be enjoyed after work if
they present themselves. That's the

IX THE HOUR OE VICTORY.
It ;;hould be the most serious hour
in the life of a man or of a political
party. In the hour when a man win-:
the consent of a woman to become his
wife he must, if he be a true man, ser
iously consider the weight of the re
sponsibility assumed in his pledge to
be all and do all that he has promise 1
to do for the one who has accepted
him as her first choice among all men.
And so, when the people have accepted
one political party as the adminis
trator of the affairs of a great state,
the successful political party should
very reiiously consider the weight of
responsibility imposed by the people.
On this subject Editor Hates, of the
Plattsmouth Journal, says:
"This is the supreme moment for the
democrats of Nebraska. They are in
control of every department of the
state and .should remember that this
authority carries with it all of the re
sponsibility. Let every man elected
to office in Nebraska do his full share
toward carrying that responsibility
with honor and for the good of all.
The people have approved the demo
cratic record of the past four years.
Let nothing be. done that will shake
that confidence."
Every . word uttered by Colonel
Bates 13 appropriate. But it is not
enough to say that the democratic
-arty in Neb-ask", will sit still and
I hold fast to past achievements. The
demo-rat.. Nebraska must go fcr-
v.-a.d. i'i.ev must Plu'c? to the people t
i
Ihcif

ire io sue-
cc. uily solve fiew problems of state j
as they shall appear. For instance,

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Beth in this country and in Eng
land the best results have been at
tained by local control of local affairs
and a control by the general govern
ment only over things of a national
character.
This has worked well in the ease of
railroad control, but now the railroad
lawyers, backed up by prominent mem
bers of the national chamber of com
merce, are engaged in a prolonged
and unanimous demand that the forty
eight state railroad commissions shall
be put out of business and that rail
road regulation be placed under the
single federal interstate commerce
commission.
"We are tired of having forty-eight
masters, with conflicting authority.
We want to be regulated by the fed
eral government," chime these gentle
men in beautiful unison.
Unified control under a curtral au
thority seems reasonable but let's
look at it carefully first.
The railroad gentlemen want, first
federal incorporation of railroads, in
rtead of state incorporation. This
would remove from state jurisdiction
any corporations so incorporated, and
throw into the federal instead of state
courts legal ouostions affecting their
acts. State judges are elected bv the
folks at home; federal judges have no
local responsibility.
The railroad gentlemen propose the
creation of two federal commissions
instead of one interstate commerce
commission. One of these commis
sions, to be called the federal railroad
commission, would be a court of last
appeal fron the interstate commerce
commission in certain cases.
This is merely the old commence
court over again! Congress swatted
the comerce court created under
President Ta f I and put it out of busi
ness because it decided everything
the railroad way. Do we want it back
again under another name?
Then the railroads propose that the
interstate commerce commission pro
per shall work through a scries of
"regional boards," located in all parts
of the country, and these boards shall
be empowered to deal with local rate
questions.
What is this but duplicating the
work of the stale railroad commis
sions? If the roads wt.nt to concen
trate and centralize pw'er why h
they propose a series of regional
boards to handle local rates? It is
simply to destroy the power of the
state commissions for any effective
i emulation, ar.d at the same time more
easily control? Albany Times-Union.

MR. FAB1EH!
A half million dollars worth
of perfectly good farm ma
chinery is thrown in the scrap
pile every year in Nebraska.
Farm work is the hardest
work there is on machinery.
Castings break, bearings
wear out, shafts bend and
break. Things get dull and
pull hard, gears rattle, smash,
bang and crash, paint gets dull
Many farmers throw away
machinery and buy new, be
cause they are not aware that
we can in nearly every case
re-make such machinery equal
and in many respects better
than new.
We do not care how bad your
machinery is smashed or worn,
they all look alike to us; we re
make them as good as new and
save you money.
A dollar saved is a dollar
earned, keep your money at
home and you may get it back
again besides it helps us to em
ploy home labor.
Put your machinery troubles
up to us, we have the best
equipped machine shop in the
country; if you don't believe it
call and see us. Visitors are
always welcome.
We make everything in metal.
Now is a good time to over
haul things for the spring rush

Originating in Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over ?;VJr0,000 has heen raised iy
led Cross Christmas Seals in the last
ught years, and yet many people who
.vil buy these holiday stickers at this
linth annual sale do not know how
his idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
ack to the civil war when "Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first cam
nai.cn to sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fijht was only nine years
jro in Delaware. Miss Emily P. Bis
fell of Wilmington read an article by
7accb Riis describing stamps used for
uherculosis work in Norway, and she
onccived the idea of a similar plan
lere. Single-handed, she launched a
:ule which resulted in $3,000 clear
money. Wnen r.liss tissell tried to
convince the American Red Cross that
(his idea should be made national as a
peace activity of that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
he authorities, with the result that on
An investment of a few hundred dol-
'ars $13."3,000 worth of Seals was sold
in 1008 and the great national cam
paiirn was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
.s an institution in the United States,
ami offers to everyone a chance to help
in the people's fight against the peo
ple's disease. Last year over 75,000,-
000 Seals were sold, and this year the
American Red Cross and the National
U sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis, who conduct the
ale, are out for a 100,000,000 sale
or $1,000,000 for the tuberculosis war.
The Red Cross Seals for Christmas
ill be placed on sale today in the
usual places of the city and each one
purchased is money devoted to a good
luse and to aid in helping the suf
ferers from the dread disease of
tuberculosis, which has been the cause
of the death of so many thousands.
t. is a worthy cause and should be
supported by the public.
