EDITORS OF NEBRASKA TO
HAVE UNIQUE EXCURSION
Will Tour Western Part of
State During Week of
August Seventh
PLANS ARE IN PREPARATION
Committees Named Are All Working
Hard to Perfect Various Details
( Nothing to Be Left Undone
for Comfort and Pleasure
of the Party.
OVER 200 RESERVATIONS MADE
(Hy J. O. Goodwin)
Tho forthcoming annual meeting of
the Nt'brtis-lia Press Association will
bo ;iti unique occasion. At the lust
meeting of the association in Omaha
an Invitation was extended by Scottd
blulf and Geiing, two s stcr towns in
tlii' Irrigated valley of the North
I Intto river, in the extreme wostcinj
pnrt of the .state, to hold the HUG
meeting at those places. A substan
tial hi nus whs offered to help defray
the expense in taking a special train
of editors to that distant part of the
state. In un tinofllclal way it was
thought that the two transportation
companies that pass through the Nile
valley of Nebraska would bo interest
ed in the excursion of the scribes and
would assist in the matter of trans
portation. The invitation was accept
ed in a tentative way and it was left
for the executive committee to consid
er the matter from every angle and
finally to fix the time and place. I-nter
the towns of Chadron, Crawford, Sid
ney, Alliance, Bridgeport, Broken
How, Kearney and North Platte neked
for Mops and offered to feed the vis
itors and furnish entertnlnment and,
ln tome cases, give small cash boni.
The fact that Nebraska has a strict
nntlpass law finally made it Impost
bio for the railroad companies to do
other than to charge the regular fare
of 2 cents per mile. From assur
ances already received it seems ccr
tnln thnt about three hundred bona
fide newspaper men nnd women of Ne
braska will start from Grand Island
Mondny, August 7, in a special train
of Pullman cars for n week's trip Into
the western part of Nebraska. The
train is scheduled to reach Broken
How about f! o'clock, where supper
will be served by the good people of
that town. The visitors will spend
the most of the- evening there and
will leave In time to reach Crawford
nt an early hour the next morning,
where breakfast will be served. The
train will be parked for the day and
n trip across country will be made by
automobiles to Chadron, where lunch
eon will be served on the grounds of
the new state normal school. A stop
will be mnde nt Crawford again on
the return trip nnd It is planned to
reach Alliance in time for supper. The
evening will bo spent nt Alliance and
a short night run will take the train
to Sidney by early morning. It Is
possible that n few of the newspnper
men will avail themsclve of the in-
nation of the Kimball Commercial
club to leave the special train at Sid
ney and tako a side trip to Kimball
and from there auto across to Gering
In time to meet the train upon its ni
rhnl there.
Tho party will breakfast at Sidney
take a look at the town nnd country
nnd leave in time to reach Uridge
port about noon. While the train Ib
being transferred from thn Burling
ton to tho Union Pneillc tracks the
editors will be the guests of Uridge
port hosts for luncheon. Gering will
lie reached by mid-afternoon and the
train will be parked until ll o'clock
the next night. In the meantime th?
prlncipnl meetings will be held at
Scottshluff and Gering nnd side trips
will Include Mitchell and Minltnre.
On the return trip stops will be
made at North Platte nnd Kearney
for breakfast and luncheon nnd the
train is scheduled to reach Grand
Grand Island in time to permit n large
part of tlio association members to
got trains to their homes Friday even
ing. It is estimated that tho local
purses that are offered by tho towns
visited will pay for tho hire of the
Pullman enrs, probably five or six,
usldo from the pnrlor-observntlon and
cafe car, the baggage-dynamo car nnd
tho car for railroad olllcials that will
accompany tho party.
To work out the details to a point
that assures reasonable satisfaction
to all concerned Is not n light task
and has kept the oxecutivo committee
thinking hnrd. Several meetings have
been held and on nearly every occa
sion there has been n full attendance
of the committee which is mnde up
Door Dumpers.
An efficient bumper to prevent doors
from marring woodwoik can be made
from n largo spool. First get a screw
with a liend about the size of tho bore
of tho spool. This should bo sciowed
Into tho baseboard to within half an
Inch of tho head. Tho spool can then
bo punhed over tho screwhead, and if
necessary wedged to hold it securely
Into Iip open end of the spool can be
screwed one of tho rubber tips used
on crutches nnd chnlr legs. A con
venient door stop may bo mudo by us
of such representative men ns: Vice
President Clark Perkins of the Au

Pilot; II. K. Sehaeffer, Curtis Kilter
prise; A. II. Unekhaus, Pierce Leader;
A. It Wood, Gering Cornier, and Sec
retary C. C. Johns of Omaha.
President Horace M. Bavin, Ord
Journal, has made the call general for
all newspaper men to attend the meet
ings of the executive committee and
the meetings have been called at such
places that it has been convenient for
many local editors to attend and con
fer with the committee. The plan has
worked out successfully and has t in
sulted In a wider spread Interest in
tho good of the association than was
conteii plated by its author.

for the program and tills feature will
not bo overlooked in the fest'vitles
thnt will be enjoyed on the trip. Will
M. Mnupln, York Democrat; John M.
Tanner, Omaha Democrat; and Geo S.
Foxworthy have been named as a
"stunts" committee nnd it is under
stood thnt It will be the business of
these gentlemen to arrange for origi
nal songs nnd cabaret performances
that will Insure the pnrty against n
dull moment. Governor Howard, Co
lumbus Telegram, has promised to
servo ns Interlocutor for the minstrel
show that will be worked out. Finnk
Harrison of Lincoln and Adam Hreedo
of Hnstlngs will hnve charge of tho
band that they are organizing for tho
occasion. It will be unique! costum
ed and the instrumentation Is said to
bo unique.
President Davis, Vice-President
Perkins nnd Kdltor Huechler of tho
Grand Island Independent, have direct
charge of the train and trip nnd arc
undertaking the detnils with the rail
roads, the towns to be visited and tho
general comfort of all concerned.
Members of supply firms doing bus
iness in Nebrnska may accompany tho
train, but may not enjoy any rebatu
from tho local guarantees. Any nctivo
newspaper man or woman or anyone
who has been active In tho business
and has printers' ink still sticking to
his finger nails may go. Hut It Is
only fair to serve notice to all com
ers that nn edict has gone out against
any liquor on the editors' trnln. Thero
is no prohibition against cob pipes.
One of the fentures of the associa
tion meeting this year will be tho
consideration of tho report of tho leg
islative committee. President Davis
hns been in close touch with several
legislative sessions and knows how
sadly neglected are the Interests of
the country newspapers. Ho has ap
pointed n strong legislative commit
tee thnt will serve through his admin
istration and tho one following: J. W.
Cutrlglit, Lincoln Star; M. A. nrown,
Kearney Hub; Frank E. Helvey, Lin
coln News Hurenu; F. O. Edgecombe,
Gcnevn Signal; and G. S. Foxworthy,
Lincoln W. N. IT. To save each edi
tor having to work up individual copy
for Ills newspaper while on tho trip
un official reporter will bo named nnd
his copy will be furnished In plato
form, properly Illustrated, for every
paper represented on the excursion.
When n week'H cnmplng pnrty was
held near Lincoln for tho annual meet
ing of tho Nebrnska Press nssocla Ion
two years ago, It was not only novel,
but a tremendous success. Thnt inno
vation suggested this one, perhaps,
and If present plans do not miscarry,
tho Nebraska printers will hold tho
record for orlginnllty in tho way of
nnnunl meetings.
Some time tho association Is going
to accept tho Invitution of tho rr gents
of the Stnto University to spend n
week In session nt the State Agricul
tural College near Lincoln, nnd while
tho husbands are talking shop nnd
spinning yarns, the wives will be tnk

His Verdict.
At tho meeting of tho Afro-Amerlrnn
Debntlng club the question of capital
punishment for murder occupied tho
attention of tho orators for the even
ing. One speaker had a great deal to
say about tho canity of persons who
thus took tho law Into their own
hands. The last speaker, however,
after a stirring harangue, concluded
with great feeling: "Ah dlsngreeB wit

PAUL AT ATHENS.
MISSON Ti:.T-Act I7:1G-.U
aoi.DUN TCXT-In him we ttvo. unci
move nnd hnp our being. -Acts 17::S.
Athens! What a nnmo to conjuro
with. Athens tins always epitomized
tho nemo or Intellcctunlism, culture,
art, and esthetic accomplishment.
Driven from Keren and nlono, Pnul lied
to tho coast and Hiking ship criused
over to tho Thesbiilonlnn penlnsulu.
Knterlng the city ho beholds its stat
uary, meets its philosophers nnd views
Its moral degradation nnd its myriad
manifestations of heathenism. Out
wardly cultured, molding tho thought
of tho world, yet It passed from Itf
pinnacle of power becnuso it know not
God. Pnul saw thn pantheism of the
cultured Stoics and tho Epicureans,
who becnuso of their distant and but
littlo concerned gods, enjoyed the
plensuro of wealth nnd easo.
I. Paul Brought to Trial (vv. 16-21).
Such sights etirrcd the spirit of Paul.
Tho marvel is how Indifferent wo may
become in tho presence of tho grent
spltitunl poverty of our Unto. His
spirit stirred within him, when ho Baw
tho city crowded with idols. As Pnul
followed his custom and began his
preaching In ttio synagogue ho nlso
took ndvnntugo of tho opportunity to
do opcn-nlr work In tho market place.
Hero a 6mall group and thero another.
This ho did daily until the teachers
(v. 18) began to tako knowledge of
his presence In their city. Somo in
contempt called him n "babblor," whllo
others concluded that tio represented
somo new religion, though ho set be
fore them tho samo messngo of salva
tion in Jesus Christ which had caused
such remarknblo result b elsewhere.
That they might hear him moro fully
and without tho Interruption of tho
mart of trado, Paul Is taken to tho
ArcopaguB, or .Mars Hill, whoro from
tlmo immemorial tho greatest crim
inals had boon sentenced and tho most
solemn questions of rollgton Bot
tled. II. The Unknown Made Known, (vv.
22-29). Such idlo speculation (v. 21)
was of no valuo to tho Athenians. This
Pnul knew, yet ho began his address
In a most conciliatory manner (v. 22
It. V.). Ho would win their favornblo
attention before he called them to re
pentance Keenly observant, Paul had
socn among tho many inscription ono
"to tho unknown God," and this ono
whom In ignorance they worshiped, he
would set forth. Many today aro In
blindness, seeking to know God whnn
ho has already been mado manifest (to
bo seen). (John 1 : IS; John 5:20; John
14:9; II Cor. 4:G.) It Is man's own
fault it ho does nst know God (Horn.
1:20-22, 28; II Cor. 4:4), nnd no knowl
edgo is moro important (John 17:3),
Paul's opening words in vorso 24 wcro
but to scizo a well-known object of
their street decoration and discussions
nnd with It to lend on to tho great
truth ho yearned to havo them compre
hend. This caught tho philosophers
as well as tho idlo curious. God is not
n philosophic conception of tho mind.
Ho cannot be confined to temples
mado with hands nor does ho need tho
services of our hands, seeing ho cre
ated all things and glveth to all things
life. Paul's next point wns that "Ho
hath mado of ono overy nation of
men." As yet how littlo men really
bellovo that truth witness tho Euro
pean conflict and tho economic, racial
and social differences of this land.
Negro segregation and Asiatic exclu
sion aro but illustrations of our sepa
ration from tho teaching of tho broth
erhood of man. But this brotherhood
is not alono for altruistic service but
"that thoy should seek God." This
wns his great and glorious purposo In
creating tho nations of tho earth, In
setting tho seasons In motion, to min
ister to their needs, and In appointing
tho bounds of their habitations; yet
how far man has departed from that
ideal (Hem. 1:28). It Is of tho high
est importance that men Bhould seek
God nnd ho Is not difficult to find for
tliCBO who seek him (Jer. 29:13).
III. What the Athenians Lacked
(vv. 30-34). Thus far Paul's auditors
must havo followed him keenly, and
it wa3 tho goal toward which ho
had been driving so relentlessly. Such
Biibllmo conceptions, keen logic nnd
quotations from their wrltcrB won
tholr attention. Ho then delivered a
keen thrust at this, t'uo "psychological
moment," by calling upon them to "re
pent." Tho Athenians lacked a realiz
ing senso of tho personality of God
that man could havo personal nnd In
tlmato relations with God or that a
man could or had risen from tho
dead.
Any candid seeker after truth who
will examine the ovldenco will bo con
vinced of tho truth that Jesus ot
Nazareth, crucified upon a Roman
cross, rose from tho dead.
Thoso Athenians also lacked tho
ability to accopt this fact and to yield
tholr lives In obedlenco to It, and so
somo tried to sneer away tho truth,
but that did not alter It.
Somo wero amused, and somo evi
denced a curlouB lntercBt, saying, "Wo
will hour this again," but certain mon,
Dlonyslus and Damaris, "believed."
Such has over been the manner of tho
reception of glad tldlsgu.
H'd the View. '
"Do I iiiidortuud iil to -uj," Mild

"Must 1 tell the ttuih?' stammered

Flfty-Flfty Deal.
A number of politicians were attend
ing u convention In Chicago u short
time ago when one of the number wns
approached by nn old acquaintance
who was plainly down In his luck.
Sliding up to the politician hu said:
"Say, .luck, lend me ten, will you?
I'm Hhort."
The big fellow went down Into his
pocket, Unshed out n big roll nnd hand
ed n live-dollar bill to the down-nml-outer.
"Say, Jack," said lie of the "touch,"
"I said ten."
"I know you did," replied the poli
tician, "but I think this wuy Is fairer,
You lose live nnd I lose- live."

Do you know how to tell fortunes
In n teacup? It furnishes u great deal
of entertnlnment nt n parly. This
Chinese rhyme explains It :
"Ono leaf, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll ppo.
Threo together, your wish will gain;
Kotir, u letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter will bring;
Six In u row, n song you'll sing.
Seven together, good fortune awaits,
So say to you tliu teacups' fates.
Ten leaves large nnd ten leaves tall
Bring you company, great mid Kinall.
Ten leaves many nnd scattered flno
Is of bail luck the surest sign.
Tea leaves few and near tho rim,
Your cup of Joy o'erllows the brim."

"Verily, friend," replied tho Quaker,
"thou didst right In that thou didst
feel for thy neighbor, but didst thou
feel In the right place? Didst thou
feel In thy pocket?"
