Teachen to Hear Great Men
Discuss School Topics
Raroly has such a program been pre
pared as that which will be offered to
the members of the Nebraska State
Teachers Association, which meets in
Omaha, November 5, 0, and 7. Form
er programs have been featured by
high class men but this year the exe
cutive committee has gone itself one
better and secured the best talent ob
tainable. The speakers' list includes Dr. Na
thaniel Butler of Chicago University;
Ron. O. T. Carson, former superin
tendent of instruction of Ohio; Dr.
.Alexander Meiklejahu, president of
Amherst College; Prof. E. K. Heel rich,
of the University of Missouri; Chan
cellor Samuel Avery of Nebraska Uni
versity; Prof. T. 1'. Giddlngs of Minne
apolis; Dr. A mm Howard Shaw, New
York City presldeut National Woman's
Suffrage Association; aud Miss Kath
erlne Blake, New York public schools.
These eminent educators, prominent
iu various lines of educational endeav
or, will discuss topics vital to the
schools of the United States. With
such an array of talent, the banner at
tendance In the history of the associa
tion Is anticipated, although high
water marks have been set the last
two years, when the meetings were
held in Omaha.
Boards of Education throughout
the state are granting holidays and
leaves of absence to the teachers,
allowing that the Nebraska Associa
tion is appreciated as one which does
its membership a world of good.
With the application of tho refer
endum principle the teachers of the
state are taking a keen interest in the
affairs of the organization which char
acterizes it as one of the livest organ
izations of teachers in the country.
The Berry Acreages
'In Nebraska there wero 2,7"7 acres
devoted to the growing of strawberries
In 191.1. Doubtless the acreage is much
larger as the estimate does not Include
many of the extremely small patches
but is made up of the acreuges of the
larger commercial ventures Fruit
growers have planted 1,483 acres to
blackberries while 720 acres are in
raspberries. These figures were com
piled by the state board of agriculture
and are the first tabulations made ou
the borry crops.

The Case Of
Wm. Galbraith
Perhaps the injustice of law and the
ineillcleney of of our social optimiza
tion wero never more harshly exhibited
than in the sentence of William Gal
braith at the last term of court. No
censure is implied of Judge Dungau,
who felt obliged to pronounce the sen
tence. It was only after the maturost,
deliberation and a sympathetic regard
for the prisoner that lie applied tho
severity of the law to tho misconduct
of the uufortunate man before him.
Hud there seemed any escape the
judge would gladly have avoided the
duty enjoined upon him.
Unlbialtli mid another were arrested
feouiothiiig over a year ago for buiglm
isruigii rail ioxd ear They had been
drinking, and learning that there was
some beer iu the car, they either open
ed the car, or found it open, and
took out some of the beer. The cat
being opened, Oalbraith took nlso
some flour and some other articles of
small value. Had it not been for the,
techuieul bieukiug, of which, it is
probable, the men could not have
been convicted, the offense would have
been petty larceiiy,.,j v
Tfceinen had no montv. They were
tidvteed to nlaad guilty, aud throw
themselves upon the mercy of. the
court, .which had. po wer -.4o .aeispend
their sentence-' and parole them ton
good behavior. Thf Key. Cole, Mr. Ed.
lOreriug and' -others). iuterestcd them-
selves in their behalf: Thtimen did
fairly well during .their parole. One
of them made good, quit drinking, and
became an industrious and respectable
citizen. Galbraith did himself credit
most of the time. I11b earnings were
paid over to Mr. Overing, who saw
that they went to the support of his
family. ; , I
Once or twice temptation to drink
got the better of him. And be was
subject to peoullar temptations, lie
reported to the court at each term ac
cording to the terms of bis parole, and
also confessed his short comings, re
ceiving with good grace a lecture from
the court, a leoture which the court
felt obliged to enforce with threats of
commitment to the penitentiary
should his drunkenness be repeated.
It was repeated, and on the first
day of the last term of court, the poor
fellow jumped his bail. His comrade
was released from farther attendance
upon court, but Galbraith was ordered
to be arrested when found. There
seemed nothing for the court to do
bit to impose the sentence of the law.
Galbraith was thus scut to the peni
tentiary, because he was too weak to
withstand the temptation to drink.
The whole amount of liquor con
sumed by him during the year prob
ably was less than five dollars worth.
Hut it was enough to intoxicate him
on several occasions
His case is simply that of a man too
weak to struggle with tho desire for
alcoholic drinks, too weak to ruu him
self without help, to manage his own
affairs. He needed a guardian, ono
who would set him at work, keop him
at work, and manage his finances. He
needed the active help and sympathy
of all good people.
It is not to criticise that wo now call
attention to this want of Christian
sympathy, if such sympathy were
lacking. It is rather in the hope that
something may yet bo done. It lies
with the Christian people of this city
to make the stay of Galbraith in the
jail a wholesome, reforming fact in
ills life. Kindly letters once or twice
a week will sulllco to prove to him
that the church people of this vicinity
are rememberiug him with hopeful
interest; that thoy are giving him of
their affection aud care; that they are
surrounding him with their best
wishes. It is in their power to muko
the atmosphere of tho penltentiury an
atmosphcro of healing aud good. Will
they do it?

Bunco Game
A young mm, visiting relatives near
Inavale, appeared In this city one day
the latter part of the week and en
deavored to woi-k a little tlim Ham
game, but it was nipped iu tho bud.
He appeared, narly in the morning, at
one of the local thirst parlors, where
he purchased several "rounds," aud
repealed this performance at regular
intervals until near the noon honr.
At this time, ilndlng that the pro
prietor had left for lunch, and tho
place In charge of the bartender, lie
told the latter that ho had ordered p.
ease of beer from the former, but had
ehaiuted his mill I ami uould take a
quart of whiskey and tin rest, of his

However, ou the return of the pio

And the better it is the more
'it costs just like everything
else.
But cut glass is bought mainly
for its beauty anyway and
you can't get beauty without
paying for it.
But that needn't frighten any
lover of cut glass away from
our store.
To tell you that ours is moder
ately priced, doesn't explain
anything for you,
To tell you that we have just
opened a new, clean stock does
not let you know.the beauty of
our glass, nor can you appre
ciate the .beauty of our new
silver deposit ware till you
see it. f,
So we guess you'll justjhave to
drop in and see for yourself,
Will you?
