THE ONLY TlKMOUItATIU l'AI'KH IN
WK1IHTKH COUNTY
Bach succeeding year emphasizes
the fact that we ought to have a purU
or grove belmiKlng to' tho city. The
city owes It to the inhabitants to pro
vilc healthful, harmless, Interesting
rccrentlnn andti parte Ik the ideal place
where all tho city can gather and en
joy h restful day out of doors.
Now that a portion of Webster fttreet
is being fitted up with cement gutters
we think that the entiro business sect
ion should catch the outhuslam and
construct gutters also. This Is the
first stop towards paving and shows
progress and prosperity. Strangers
judge u city as much by Mts streets as
they do by the buildings they see. If
the streets are clean and well kept, it
denotes a thrift impossible to convey
in any other manner. Lot the good
work go on.
We luivo reason to feel proud of the
showing that our high school athletics
made nt the control and western Ne
braska tournament at. Hastings last
week. Our boys were In fast company
going upngain&tthe Kearney academy,
the Fiunklln academy and tile high
schools of Hastings, Iteatrlce. North
Plutto and others. While tho lied
Cloud team did not capluie the Hag
they finished ahead of North Platte,
Cambridge, Edgar .and York. Tho
grounds were In very bad condition
owing to the heavy rains but several
irood stunts were nulled off. For in
stance
je the hammer throw record was,,
eet while at the state University
131 feet
during, the seme, week
the distance
made was only ill feet.
With the
practice that another year will give
them "Our Boys" will undoubtedly
push up to first place.
Collier's Weekly, of the 27th ult.,
devotes two pages and part of a third
to a written description and pictorial
illustration of the efforts of the people
of Merlden, New Hampshire to pro
mote tint increase of the wild birds in
variety, in number, in the neighbor
hood. A few years Hgo the oflleluls
about tho court house took a llitle
pains to encourage the disposition of
tho squirrels to make their homes in
the trees of the court house park.
How much genuine and innocent
pleasure their attention uuve to the
children lii the north part of the city
is ditlicult of estimation. Not tho
children alone, but most of the adults,
found an added Intel est -in life he
cniiMi of the active movements and
friendly, cheii-dil mnnncrs of theagile
ittlil P'trthtlly tamed animals.
The. cultivation of the birds piomlses
still more plea-ore vi h an element of

sweet songs and the varied beauty of

easily repay the food and care given
them in the destruction of worms and
insects.
Doubtless a large portion of the
people of the city go to and from
their daily tasks without noticing the
songs that thrill tho Hir of the streets
and the lawns with melody. Many of
these same people will pay money and
go to some inconvenience, to sit for an
hour op uncomfortable chairs in the.
opera house and listen to a tolerably
fair imitator of the music that may be '
had without money and price in the
fresh air under the shining sun from j
tho more cheerful songsters that al-
ready make this city a spot of joyous
harmonies.
A trip to one of the treeless villages'!
, of the west will give Miiy one tho feel-
ing of an unconscious lonesomeness
and sadness. It may be ditllcult, at
Urst,ito account for the change. The
absence of the trees and the silence of
the waste pluccs strike home to the
heart, even, though one may bo unable
to note at once the caiif-e of tin lack
of a cheerfuliiPMs mid gayety and rest-
fulness.
Itev. Hates is hereby requested to
give attention this matter of the at-
traction of different birds to our
midst. The Chief will gladly give
him unlimited space for a full state-
Ment and description of the birds we
mow Tiavc and tho birds which we
might expect to attract ,by proper
methods. If in cold New Hampshire
the people can add to tin' charm and
happiness of life by u little consider
ate treatment, of the will bird, what
may we do In sunny Nebraska?
The Chief would rather see the
money expended in removing the
cheerful dandelion from the court
house park devoted to the encourage
ment of the joyous music of the feath
eied singers.
Hume kind friend sent us a copy of
the Appeal to Reason of ''ate A pill '.'7.
The stated oil dilation of this paper ,is
2,7.r.l,r)(lo. Were It as well, as It Is
boldly, edited, Its influence would he
a very significant factor in the forma
tion of the public opinion of America
One can not read it, however, without
some misgiving as to tho correctness
of its statements and tho fairness of
Its opinions, because of tho evident
bias it exhibits. In the Issue under
consideration, it attacks the judges of
the federal courts without any pre
tense of respect, and to the utidisciiiul
Hilling reader its attack will seem
justified by tho facts It alleges. The
thoughtful reader, on the other hand,
becomes suspicious that tho facts are
not fully presented, and he, therefore,
questions the conclusions.
The Chief has no doubt, but that the
facts give color to the charges made,
and, while nut questioning the person
al Integrity of the judges so bitterly
assailed, we do most emphatically be
lieve Mmt the adminlstratlon'of law In
this count ry Is a disgrace to the Intelli
gonee of a free and enlightened people.
We have no sympathy with the pre
tended humility which protects the
procedure of our courts from the sov
ero.t scrutiny and the utmost critic
ism, provided that criticism he of a
character to appeal to the thoughtful
hcss rather than to tho passions and
prejudice the people Mr. Tuft's
defense of the sacred dignity of the
courts should be ruthlessly brushed
aside- Mr. Kooscvclt'scritlclsmshnuhl

aild "effect, against, not the st
oision
state
judges elected by the" popular vote,
on i me letierm judges who nave oeon
appointed after consultation with the
high-salaried' members of the bar.
Many of thom have been a disgrace to
the bench they are incompetent to
adorn, and tho cause of righteousness
and justice has been the least consid
ered element in their adjudications.
Mr. llryau's suggestion, that the Presi
dent file with his nominations the
recommendations upon which he bases
them, does not seem to us sulilciently
comprehensive to afford the relief de
sired. The appointments would be
made without recommendations, or
sutllcient recommendations could
readily bo procured by tho nominee
after u hint that they would be useful.
The whole trouble lies in the life ten
ure of the iufoiior judges. Congress
should abolish all the inferior courts
which the constitution will penult,
and create now ones with judges whose
shortness of tei in would lender them
more obedient to the public will and
more considerate of public opinion.

against which it may issue bonds pay

council should create a paving district
consisting of two blocks intersected
by Webster street and Fourth avenue,
The pavement could be laid for about
the cost of the guttering which has
already becu laid. That is 8..10 per
square yard. To the center uf tho
street would be, say 14 yards; that
would be 821 per lineal yard, or $175
per lot of a.ift. front. This would not
be an expensive amount for each busl-
ness lot to pay. They would at once
become that much more valuable,
The corner lots, of course, would have
a great ileal more to pay. The nil-
dltioual charge to them would be
about 810(10. Hut corner lots must ex-

Red Cloud Boy Makes Good
Every alumnus of the Red Cloud
schools, and, for that matter, all the
under graduates, the teachers and pa
trons of tho schools, should obtain
and presei've a copy of the Chicago
Tribune of last Sunday. That paper
contains a full page picture In colors
by Omer Holler of the class, of '03.
The picture is entitled "At the Tele
phone". Were It on better paper it
would be suitable for framing and
hanging on the wall of a parlor. It
represents a beautiful young lady
sealed at a table with a telephone bo
fore her and flowers are in her hair.
The people of Red Cloud should feel it
good deal of pride in the fact thatonu
of our boys lias won the notice of ;i
newspaper of the character of the
Chicago Tribune, and has accomplish
ed It that, a paper, which not un
worthily claims to be the greatest
newspaper in the world, accords such
prominence to the production of his
pencil. Mr Butler Is but twenty-six
yours of age. For an artist of that
age. to have gained u permanent posi
tion on the pictorial stall of such a
publication promises woll for it highly
successful future, Mr. Duller was
married two weeks ago. His present
Manny, we lire informed, is 'Js per
week, or a little less than fifteen hun
dred dollars per year. The other
members of tho class of '03 arc Will
Overman, Earl Crabill, W I). Edson,
our Argus friend, Mrs Ned Grimes,
and the Misses Vui'i llutchiion, Mary
Sheldon and Pearl Pope. They will
be pleased to learn of the distinction
their clus-mato lias achieved.
The Influence of Example
A pleasing illustration of the power
of a good example Is now being given
to the people of the city. U. W Tur
mire came to the conclusion that he
would do something towards removing
the mud holes which have disfigured
and disgraced the main portion of
Webster street. Ho consulted Saun
ders Iiros., as to tho Cost of making n
cement gutter in front of his recent
purchase, the Moon Block. Tho lum
ber linn suit! t lint, it would put in a
gutter on Fourth Avenue in front of
the lumber yard, ami thus aseeitaiii
the cost of tho work, This was don
lust week, and the cost cstiniHti'd at
fifty cents per lineal foot. Mr. Tur
uure told the firm to go ahead and
make the improvement before hi
property, work was commenced Tues
day afternoon. Thereupon Dr. Dam
orall suggested that his property on
tho north corner be improved in the
same manner at the same time, Adam
Morhurt thought the Opera House
front should receive a like treatment.
This took in nil of the Webster street
frontage of that block except the bauk
bulldiug owned by John Uentley, who
is in Arkansas. He has been written
to, and will doubtless agree to a like
improvement. Across the street the
Overing Iiros., signified their willing
m ss to do likewise. Dr. Cook gave in
his adhesion. Wade Koontz, of course
will not bo backward. The same spirit
has been exhibited by several of the
property owners in the block south.
Within a week it is very probable that
Webster Street and Fourth Avenue
will bu improved by permanent gutters
for two blocks, thus making a flue
st.trt towHids the cleanliness and
beauty of the business streets.
