Sign the Bill, Governor!
The Sunday baseball bill has passed the
legislature and is now up to the governor
for veto or approval. Will Maupln's Week
ly hopes that Governor Aldrich will be big
enough and broad enough to approve the
bill. The opposition of certain churchmen
and church women is based upon a fallacy.
Innocent amusement on the Lord's day is
not only not inful but is really good. Espe
cially is this true of those whose condition
in life prevents them from enjoying inno
cent amusements upon any other day of
the week. Time 'and again this newspaper
has asserted, and it now repeats, that until
the church of Jesus Christ provides the
workers with a mid-week half holiday with
out loss of pay, it has no moral right to deny
to those workers an opportunity to enjoy
the pleasant things of life upon the only day
of the week vouchsafed to them. If the
church, after two thousand years of effort,
has not succeeded in making men moral by
force of precept and example, it illy become
it now to seek the assistance of legislative
enactment and a writ of the courts. To do
so is a confession of failure.
The working men and working women
of this country find it difficult enough to
provide for their needs by working six days
a week. To deny them the ordinary pleas
ures ol life because such enjoyment must,
perforce, be had upon Sunday, is wrong in
principle, wrong in morals and wrong in
theory. It belongs in the same category as
burning at the stake for refusal to accept
the established religion, of kissing one's own
life upon the Sabbath day. To deny men
the right to spend their rest day as they see
fit, subject to the rights of others, is the
first step towards compelling men to spend
their rest da' as others see fit.
In the name of the thousand of toilers
whose only holiday and rest day is the first
day of the-week,' commonly called Sunday;
in the name of fair play and freedom of
thought and action, and in the name of com
monsense. Will Maupin's Weekly asks
Governor Aldrich to approve the Sunday
baseball bill as it has passed through both
branches of the legislature.
Keep Cool and Sweet
The primaries are over and the candidates
have been nominated. Now, for heaven's
sake and for the sake of Lincoln let's
fight out this excise question with good na
ture and in all friendship, with an eye single
to the best interests of Lincoln and without
personalities or recrimination. This city
will not go to hell if we have saloons, nor
will it be a heaven on earth if saloons are
kept out. Saloons will not make the city,
prosperous; neither will they bankrupt it,
morally or financially. The absence of sa
loons will not change human nature, nor
will it make the city grow or hamper its
growth. The men who honestly believe that
license and regulation are the best methods
of handling the liquor problem are not all
"saloon bums" and advance agents of Satan;
neither are all the opponents of license and
regulation moral examplars or saints ready
for translation and transfiguration. Let's
kee,p sweet and keep cool !
Some Butler Figures
Five million pounds of butter! Some
butter, that. And yet the Beatrice Cream-,
ery Co., contracted to supply that amount
to a Connecticut man inside of the next few
months, and never batted an eye, in making
the dicker. The Beatrice Creamery Co. can
make that much butter in less than three
months, yet the product would fill 277
freight cars and make a train of butter
more than three miles long. And five mil
lion pounds of butter represents less than
15 per cent of the capacity of this Immense
creamery plant. Talk about your gold
production why Nebraska's production of
golden butter each year is worth twice as
mucn as the gold production of any state
or territory of this republic ! Why go to
Alaska and undergo all sorts of hardships
and then stand nine chances in ten of fail
ing to find the precious metal? Just build
up a herd of dairy cows, feed them on Ne
braska grain and grasses, and let them mint
them into golden butter. As a gold pro
ducer the Nebraska dairy cow has got ther
mines of Alaska and California skinned,
both ways from the ace. How many peo-'
pie in Nebraska are aware of the fact that
Nebraska's output of butter in 1910 was
worth $11,000,000 more than the sugar pro
duction of the United States during the
same year? Let's get wise to what we really
have in Nebraska. And let us make it our
business to acquaint the whole world with
the truth about this wonderful state.
Welcome to Nebraska
A large slice of Union county, S. D., has
wandered over into Nebraska and shows
signs of remaining herev The slice came
because the erratic 'Missouri river cut a
new channel. That part of Union county
and her people who now find themselves in
Nebraska ought to feel grateful to the Misr
souri river. It has located them in a far
better state than South Dakota may ever
hope to be, and numbers them among the
most intelligent and progressive people in
.the world. The old Missouri has cut some
pretty means capers and inflicted great in
jury upon numerous people, but in this
case it has benefitted a lot of people while
adding to the area of Nebraska. Welcome
to Union county!
