^^HAT our business is a strictly impersonal

the only thing that interests us is the man’s
jreseut financial ability and the amount of his
first deposit. THIS IDEA IS WRONG. Many
well-to-do customers of today can testify to
the fact that they have been built up to their
present prosperous condition through the ma

became financislly independent.

Last week the executive committee of the state
editorial association met in Lincoln and resolved with
a mighty resolve that hereafter the editors of Nebras
ka would not accept passes to the state fair and to
charge regular advertising prices for all stuff sent in
by the fair people for publication. To this pronuncia
mento, Secretary Mellor replies at length, and signifi
cantly places the responsibility for above upon the
shoulders of parties who have been knifing the state
fair management, have hypnotized the executive com
mittee and trying to use the state editorial association
as a club to teat the fair management over the head.
So far as the writer of this is concerned, he is not very
pliable material for a few self-constituted leaders to
mould and fashion into a putty-man to “knock” on a
state institution or its officers on such a specious plea
as a few dollars in advertising to cover a knife thrust
at the vitals of such a helpful institution to the agri
cultural, horticultural and stock interests oi the state.
An executive committee may properly recommend
action on various matters, but it is hardly within its
province to commit the parent body to such action.
And the executive committee of the state editorial
association is no more powerful, holy nor omnipotent
than that of any other association of the kind.
There seems to be a disposition on the part of re
publicans of all shades of opinion to get together, be
sensible, stop all damphoolishness, and quit plaving
into the hands of their common political enemy, old
muleocracy. Two years ago the twin boobies—Taft
icus and Roosevelticus—chose sides to play the game
, | "Democrat You Win," and now are paying the pen
| alty. Muleocracy won only through republican folly,
| and can only win through division in republican
f ranks in the future. Have republicans sufficiently
punished themselves?
E^d you know there is not another county in the
stqte'of Nebraska with so inferior and incommodious
a ccitft house as disgraces Sherman county? Even
the little sandills counties above us, such as Grant,
thomas, Hooker, Blaine and others, have each better
buildings, while our sister counties, Custer, Valley.
Greeley, Howard, Merrick and others have now or are
erecting good, substantial fireproof buildings. And
we have faith to believe that Sherman county will
have the pride and enterprise to vote for and secure a
I building in keeping with its urgent needs. There is
j every reason it should.
| So far as we have been able to learn from our
! readers over the county, there seems to be unit of
| sentiment in favor of a new court house. No one has
j denied its urgent need, but on the contrary we find
I a surprising sentiment favoring it among those whom
we could have wagered would have been in opposition
while those in favor are showing an equally surprising
enthusiasm in behalf of that most needed enterprise.
This is as it should be. Let their be a whirlwind cam
paign till victory is assured.
I
What’s the matter with the patriotic citizens of
Sherman county who are willing to serve the people
in official capacity the coming two years? From our
■ exchanges we see that candidates are bobbing up else
where for the various offices, while Sherman county
i has not so far heard from one who publicly expresses
a willingness to serve the dear people.
Allow us to suggest to a number of our constitu
tionally tired brothers of the quill who are always
looking for “fillers” to save writing, and scissoring so
much Atchison Globe Sights, that they are not so good
by a darn sight as the Kearney Democrat Thoughtful
Think writes. And we don’t add adv. to the above
either.
Edgar Howard of the Columbus Telegram, the
demigod of democratic newspaperdom in Nebraska,
and about the most egotistical editorial ass in the
state, is out against equal suffrage. That should be
a most potent argument in its favor.
There is seldom regret expressed over the erection
of a much needed court house after it is assured, even
Ky its opposers. That is a matter of history.
Now, altogether; all boost for a new court house,
and you’ll never regret it.
Brick Couldn’t Feast Him.
A negro stopped & brick at Washing
ton the other day, after it had fallen
ten stories and was traveling with the
velocity of a cannon ball. When the
brick hit William Moore, the negro,
on the top of the head, the brick broke
Into bits. Moore sat down suddenly
and apparently was a subject for the
coroner. Workmen sent hurriedly for
a physician, but before he arrived
Moore sat up. “Whut d'ye want to do
that for?” he demanded angrily of a
workman. Examination of Moore re
vealed that all he suffered was a
headache.
Art and Common Sense.
It is of no use to spend money by
the handful on the arts unless It is
done with common sense and a love
of those arts. The arts are stronger
than ourselves. We must serve them
faithfully. If we talk in an impudent
manner about "elevating" an art we
are only giving ourselves away and
showing our ignorance. No one can
“elevate” the dramatic art unless he
can and will write a play higher than
“Hamlet” or "Faust" and surpassing
the Greek dramatists.—A. E. F Hornl
man.
Nys’s Humorous Compliment.
Bill Nye was once introduced to
Wagner, the composer. In “Then and
Now” Dean Hole relates: “Njre, the
American humorist, brilliant as tha
best, whose comedy never falls to
charm, and whose tragic death I shall
never cease to mourn, told me that
when he met Wagner he said to him.
‘Your music is beyond my compre
hension. but 1 always feel sure when
I hear it that it is really much better
than it sounds.’ ”
Putting the Matter Plainly.
He was an old-fashioned father,
which explains why he said to the
young man: "Are you sure you're
able to give my daughter the com
forts and luxuries to which she is ac
customed at home?” To which the
young man promptly replied: "As
your daughter's salary has paid the
rent and bought most of the clothes
and food for your family, 1 think we
can worry along.”
Origin of the Name “Manhattan.”
It is gravely given as an historical
fact that Peter Minuit and his com
pany bought all of Manhattan island
i for the sum of $24 after having re
duced the owners to a state of intoxi
cation. It is also stated as true that
the Indians after that bit of costly
debauchery, gave to the island the
name of Manhattan, which It Is said
waa Indian for “the Island of blissful
Intoxication.”
Keep Up the Fight and Win.
Most failures are due to lack of wilt
power. Lost the grip upon yourself,
and you are either a fanatic or a cow
ard. It takes a level nead to keep sen
sibly cool, and stay on the 1ob in the
face of obstacles. Here is where will
will-power comes in. It sees no de
feat. It knows no master.—Exchange.
Sounds Reat nable.
“As I understand it said a geitlw
Ban, “oleon —"*■! is made of beel
fat.” “You are undoubtedly right,*
said his companion. T should think
that the manufacturers would make it
of goat fat." ’Why?" 'Because the
goat is a natural butter.'—Detroit
Free Press.
Performance of "Hamlet."
"My, did you ever hear so many
famous quotations in any one play
before? It must have taken a long
time to piece them all together so
nicely ' “Almost iong enough to
have written an original play!" said
the other.—Christian Science Monitor
Solitude.
Little do men perceive what soli
tude is and how far it extendeth; for
a crowd is not company, and faces are
but a gallery of pictures, and talk
but a tinkling cymbal where there 1>
no love.—Bacon.
Mean Insinuation.
Woman writer holds you can train
•ye. voice and manner to deceive, but
that the hand tells the truth. Uml
And they always wear gloves.—New
York Evening Telegram.
Corporal Punishment.
“Casey, do you know what corporal
punishment is?” "Sure I do.” said
Private Casey. •,lt's having a black
