PROCLAMATION The laying aside of the swaddling clothes of a territorial existence and summing the habiliments of a state is a period worthy of definite registra tion in history. It is an event that should be re membered at all proper intervals 'ever Rafter..- Ne braska came to the inheritance of statehood and was the first to enter the Union soon after the close of the Civil War. She was fortunate in that tens of thousands of the young men who liad 'rendered service to the government in the capacity , of sol diers during the war and were inured to the fatigue at on the field, came to this territory 0prepared to undergo the hardship incident to the life of a pioneer. With them came thousands of others from the several states and from homes across,, the, sea, all for the purpose of establishing and reclaiming the soil from a state of nature and making it respond to the demands of civilization. & ifi.,n 'These hardy sons of toil, unwilling" to longer re . s r main in the relation of dependents on the general government and preferring to take upon themselves the obligation of a free and independent state, - r-a;." ". asked for and received admission to tfce Union on ...... , - - - . - v- - j the first day of March, 1867, adopting: ac a :motto ' Equality before the law," and engraVing the same on the Great Seal of the state. -10 r ; Two score and five years have passed, since by the will of the people and the authority of law, we became an independent factor in the .galaxy of . ' .scii m , . . i labiOvi . sis bo';; states that constitute the strongest and the freest republic on earth. Such has been our, progress that we stand second to none in point of general intelligence, - and the peer of any in agricultural and other industrial achievements wherein the soil is the principal factor.---' - . In view of these facts and in order that our peo ple may be reminded of the near approach of our forty-fifth anniversary, I have thought it wise, as chief executive of the state, to suggest that as citi zens of the commonwealth, we in some manner observe this occasion; for example, that the schools take up the subject and ask one or more of each school to prepare and read a paper involving the growth of the state in population, churches, schools, railroads, number of farms and amount produced, instituting comparisons between certain dates as to numbers and values. As instance the fact that up to the 10th day of July, 1865, there was not one rail of railroad iron laid in Nebraska.. Now we have 6,135 miles of direct line in the state. In 1867 only 48,800 people, now 1,19214. On March 1st next, write a letter to some one or more of your friends in other 'states, telling them something of what you know of the state's develop ment. Thus, in this modest way, we can observe the day and help spread important facts touching the resources and progress of our beloved state. CHESTER H.

Clinton who has been con nected with the Armstrong-McClenna-han Clothing Co. of Cedar Rapids, la.,, for a number of years, arived in Lin coln last week to take a responsible position with the Armstrong Clothing Co. The press of Cedar Rapids is a ; unit in expressing regret over Mr. Clinton's departure from that city, and in recommending him to .Lincoln as a wideawake, progressive and cap- able business man. In Cedar , Rapids ; Mr. Clinton was . a prominent worker ' in the. Ad Club and Commercial Club, and always depended upon to jump in J and help push every good, thing along. ' Speaking of 'Mr. -. Clinton the Cedar j Rapids Tribune says: "Without in tent at flattery, the Tribune can most J truthfully voice the opinion of every business man and thousands of work ing men with whom he is acquainted THE WESTERN TRADES. . .

H. Clinton leaves us next Thursday for Lincoln, Neb. - Ed. Clinton has been for several years one of the big brained and re sponsible men behind the active man agement of the Armstrohg-McClenna-han store in this city. ' Recognizing real merit, he was made a member ol the firm last year, an interest which he will still retain. But the needs of the western' store made, it -imperative that a 'capable man assume. a part of the' management. Ed. Clinton ; was found to be that man and while he will prosper by the change Cedar Rap-' ids as. a whole .and the booster, organ- ; ization, in particular will,, be the real losers.'; . '. - " Mr. Clinton will ; be . warmly , wel comed to Ad Club circles . in Lineolny, arid as he comes with the right sorts, of credentials behind him he , will be put to work alongside other Ad Club'? men who are doing things. A GREAT FRATERNAL 0S9St. On another page of this issue' ap pears a detailed statement of the year's history of. the Royal Highland ers, one of the great fraternal organ izations of the country, and one that Nebraska should be proud of because it is a Nebraska-born order. It was founded by Nebraska men and main tains its headquarters at Aurora, where it has a splendid bunding. It long since extended its business beyond, the bounds of Nebraska and is now flouiv -ishing in other states. It has all the ' good featur.es of oldey fraternal insur ance orders, with many good features that others do not possess. It is the result of careful study on the part of men who have had wide experience .in fraternal insurance. , r 1 . The maintenance of such an institu tion in a state or city means much. It adds largely to the business of the state, brings thousands of dollars to the. state ' for investment, and adver-' tises it throughout the length and breadth of the land. Thatv the Royal Highlanders is a prosperous organization is conclusively shown by its annual statement to the auditor of public accounts. It shows a steady and healthy growth in mem bership and in finances. It has a right to be proud of the men and women in eluded in Its' membership, for they represent the best brain and blood and brawn of the central west. Its success show's that its management, is in the hands, o'f 'men at once enterprising and conserVatrV, and thoroughly posted in matters pertaining to fraternal insur ance. We commend; the readers of' Will Maupin's Weekly to the stafce : ment of the Royal Highlanders, and heartily recommend this organization to all of them. . ' A GOOD BILL. , Congressman Maguire has intro duced a bill providing that the federal government appropriate $100,000 for a permanent building in each state where , a state , fair or - exposition is established 'and supported upon land owned by, the state and under the con trol of a board created by legislative enactment. Twenty per eeht of the space ht ' each-'of said buildiugei to- be reserved to the "goverhmen't'foT its bwii display. That J' is a good bill, and it, should, be enacted . into law. In foctf itlis.sogood, and' its purpose 'is so wise and beneficent, that we great ly fear it .will not receive proper con sideration.. That is usually the fate of . bills that; really mean something to the : people. But Congressman Maguire is something of a pusher, and he has quietiy :Jnade a lot of friends among the, members. This will tend to give him considerable prestige and help him get - the proper attention towards his bill.. - , THEY CAME THEY SAW. : .Last year a gentleman in Nebraska received'1 word from some relatives in the east that they expected to come to Nebraska0! or a short visit,' if he would advise them when was the best time to .come...; These people lived near the Atlantic coast, and knowing that they had had no. opportunity to know of the great resources of Nebraska, the Lincoln man advised them, to come' during the tune of the JNeorasaa state fair, when they would have a chance to 'see.fwhat Nebraska could do. , Fol lowing -his advice they: came at the time ' when, .the " state fair was in full blast and the result was that they were astonished when they beheld the result of what Nebraska had done and what it could - do. , (,These people went back to the Old Bay State filled with enthusiasm and, as; a result spread the good seed which may bring results. The point .which is sought to be made by telling the above incident is that so many Nebraska people can do good work right along this same line if they will make "the effort to bring visitors to Nebraska' at a time when the best 1 results 5 can be obtained. This same . . m . it 1-1 1. . reorasKa man ionows up me vuui m his relatives by sending them when-' ever possible agricultural reports and s other 'advertising' ' tending to keep alive the seed sown' in the minds of the visitors that' Nebraska is "one of t the x greatest of the Western states. This costs little and helps - a great deal. . r -
