Their object is plain, thoy must have students.

Most business tton feol the lack of a thoro know ledge of commercial arithmetic, book keeping, typewriting and tho like and they have a right to demand that theso branches bo taught intensivoly In our public schools. Tho optimist the doughnut socs, tho pessimist tho hole. Wo cannot undtr- Milud why It is that somo Inhabitants continually look upon the dark sldo of everything which pertains to our city Not a singe civic enterprise but re ceives condemnation and disapproval and what Is wor.o tho cry of graft Is injected Into every undertaking. Mad motivos are ascribed lo evory one ox copthcmselvos. This city may bu no better but itcertuiuly is no worso than ether cities of its class and yet the solo occupation or a fow is to condemn and knock Statements are umdo which have no foundation whatevor and these damage tho city in tho estima tion of outsiders. It is a safe rule to follow that If you cannot say anything good or do anything good, keep still. We want boosters not ktioWtSrs. On Tuesday even ng tho Commercial lub treated thomsolves to a banquet and a general good time. Almost every niombor was prosout. Thealfair ivas a success in every particular as Frank Cowdeu and Davo Kaloy were tbo committee on entertainment. The olub Btarts out tho now year with re nuwed energy and enthusiasm. This organization ought to receive the hearty support of the entire city for it is laboriug unceasingly for tho cities well faro and much of our progress and prosperity is due to the club'sactivlty. Much can be accomplished thru or ganization nnd harmony. It is abso lutely essential for the business inter ests that a perfect understanding should exist among the merchants and when all more In harmony and unity much etui be accomplished. Tho Chief loolts forward to tho coming year with confidence m far as tho Cuiiuueruial club Is concerned because It Is alive to tho best interests of tho elty and com-inanity. One of tho great pioblcnib confiont ing llio now President is how to con trol the tru.st.i. Ily ivusts wo mean what .Mr. IJrjan culls "bad" trusts. Perhaps the concern most menacing to tho people of this locality is tho har vester combine One company owns nil tho makes and they name the sell ing price. Uy this means they aro able to take for themselves the prollt which rightfully belongs to the local dealer. Wo are Informed that tho local doaler gets next to nothing for handling tho trusts goods but he Is compelled to handle them for the pooplo demand thorn. Another feat ure of the situation is that tho ma chines are inferior to tho makes when there was keen competition". Tho people can settle this question satis factorily if they will. Just refuse to boy trust madp articles for one year. If tho customer will not buy tho trusts aro holpioss. This was shown when tho products of tho Beef trust was left on tho blocks. Again tho tobacco trust has not kept up with tho Inde pendent concerns In their proportion ot business notwithstanding the fact that they sold cheaper and offered prizes and spent enormous amounts in advertising.

The time limit for tin- iiitioduetioti of hills Is past, and tlm legislature is now deep In the uoik of passing, amending or killing 1 roposcd legislation. X n tu ra 1 ly enough a majority of the bills in both branches are amendatory. It is nee essarj", because of changing condi tions, to amend numerous statutes at every session. Every day sees a batch of bills going from the house to the senate, and vice versa. Tne houso has passed house rolls 211 and 315, thus taking a long stop to wards redeeming one of tho platform pledges. , Thcso two bills povldo for the oluVtloii of precinct assessors. Neither had any opposition Of tho thirty seshions of tho legis lature held prior to the present one, nine-tenths wero republican. IJut it remained for a democratic legislature to so far show rospect for tho memory of Abraham Lincoln as to provido tho monoy for the erection of a statue to tho martyred president on tho capital grounds of the city bearing his name. Last vtcokjtho houso joined in the amendment Increasing the proposed appropriation from eiO.000 to $20,000 and tho bill will becomo a law. A lot of misroprosentatlvo Is being mado of tho physical valuation bill because it does not ineludo the stock yards and the street railways. Thoro is no intention of allowing cither of them to escape, but the work of mak ing this valuation will be immense, and the cost will bo ouormous. Not nil of It can be accomplished within the noxt two years. Just as soon ns the steam railroads aro valued, attontlon will be given to other corporations, and in duo tlmo every public service corporation of whatsoever naturo will be included. Hut the men who are foremost in bringing about physical valuation are pretty gouorally agreed that It would ho unwise to undertake too much at one time. Tho woman's suiVrngo bill litis passed the houso This was u house bill, but as a similar senate bill was killed by the gentlemen sitting in tho west chamber, It Is not thought atall likely that the hou&o bill will be through. Tho bank guarantee bill occupied the attention of the house for tho greater part of two days last weok. The republicans llllbustorcd and pro posed amendment after amendment In an effort to discredit the bill, but without avail. The democrats wero pledged by their platform to give the depositors a guarantee, and they stood by their pledges. Thiesson, re publican, voted for the committee bill, explaining his voto by saying that he had pledged himself to support a guar antee bill, and ho supported this one because it was the only one that stood any show of passing Thiessen's ex planation was greeted with applause from tho democratic members. Democratic intorest in education lias boon shown by tho passage in the house of tho bill appropriating JfK'.OOO for a new wing to tho Kearnoy Normal school and SIlo.OOO for a new Normal school at Ainsworth. A bil that will interest shippers was passed by tho senate last week. It provides that wherever railroads cross nta grado; or wherever thoy approach within fioO feet in any city or town, they shall maintain track connection, and provido suitable passenger platforms. Another bill looking towards purity In olectionsaudjprovlding for publicity has passed the senate. It provides that till chninnon or treasurers or politleal.coiuinlttecs receiving monies for campaign purposes shall make a htatcuienttof, the money received lir toen days before election, and state Hpecille.illvjiow the money has been expended.',:. Every contribution of S.'o or over must lie reported. The senate has also passed a bill providing that real propeity bhall bo assessed every two years, instead of every four years as now. It was stated in hist week's letter that Governor;. Shullenberger would attend tho inaugural ceremonies at Washington;; on March 1. After tho lettor had boon sent out the governor changod his plans, realizing that he could uot at this Unit lcavohts duties as chief executive. Tho Lincoln charter bill has passod the senate. This; provides the com mission system of municipal govern ment for the Capital City. Tho Omuha charter bill Isjiaving difficult sledding In tho housoalthough it passod the senate. The indications are that tho gather ing of tho democratic clans in Lincoln on Mnroh 19 will bo the largest in the party's history. uTho occasion will bo a colobratlon of Bryan's birthday and a domocrotlejlovo feast having for Its objoet the planning of the future. On the Btuno date the Democrat io Editor ial Assoclatloiuwlll meet. In the eve ning a banquet will bo served at the Auiiltoruui, and distinguished speakers iromuomounii abroad willaddre-s the banqueters, Among them will be Mr Bryan, who will ulsu address the editors In the afternoon.

A lettor en closing a stamp for reply will bring to any inquiring farmer n list of names of mon who are anxious to secure farm work. The anti treating bill was killed in the house last week. By some it is claimed that this is a prophecy of what will bo dono to tho county option bills ns fast as thoy como up. Tho balmy weather of the last few days has had the eirect of making tho farmer members anxious to rush the work through so they can. get homo and begin the spring plowing. As it result the legislature is pushing things with rapidity. The number of bills this your is practically the same as tho number introduced two years ago. The pres ent house boat the record of two years ago by about a dozen bills, but tho seuato fell behind the 1007 record about the sumo number.
