' , - JDDlTOR - - \ Thursday , July 25 , 1907. _ . _ . _ I ' - - - - - ' 1'be publicity and di grace connected t' : > the two most discussed - cussed frcnzied financiers of the country-Hockfcller and Harri- man-Is not. of the kind that should imspire the Amercan youth to emulate their examplcs. Formcrly it , was the vogue to point out men of wealth to the youth as the highest type of success. Men who did g-reat things' in commercial life were tholc ? for th boys to follow. The methods of these great captains of industry have been such as to brjng them into dIs- repute. Their manner of accom- phshing their apparent success by violations of the law has bcen SQ fully explained that they have lost their halos and none arc so low as to do them honor. The attention of the youth of the land is callcd to tbe fact that the mere accumuliltion of money -the ability to accomplish things-unless 'done in the propcr way-is not the thing be most de- sired. Qucstions of honor and deccncy arc stronger in the pubhc mind today than cver before. Business fltegrity in the larg-c things , is as nccessary as personal honesty. The change of ideals will be good tlung for the boys who arc to. be the future busi. ness men. . There arc still a few peoph . who attempt to do business with. out advertising , but the purchas' ' ing public con ! ' < ider them- bad numbers and eye them with sus picion. If they have ability t make a certain sort of succeil : under such a heavy h mlicap why should they not accomplisl a great deal more with ful publicity given thcir enterprise 'rhat'such a small number sue ceed without advertising il proportion to the vast arm' that fall by the wayside shoul ; be convincing evidence. Th' ' business man who doesn't ad vertise gets the trade of enl : 11 percentage of the peopl he happens to lmow and some 0 those who accidentally pass hi place. The advertiser has als those advantages and he al reaches the thousan s of stratJ gers , new settlers land resident who have formed no busines ties l-nd ! arc awaiting an'invih tion to be extended for theirltrad ( They feel like giving it to th mefchant who is sufficiently it terested to ask for it and hiJ goods that will stand the ligl . of publicity. The express compames al having dIfficulty in gcttin togetl1er on C. O. D. lique pack Iges. 'l'he United State Supreme court sustained t11 right of an express company t handle that kind of shipmentd i prohibition counties in Kentuck -as it was interstate busines : In Iowa an express compatJ is lfighting the efforts of a di' ' tiller to male it deliver' atJ collect for C.

'rhere arc daily confirmatiol of the belief that the reports c crop damage in the winter whe : bel t were very muchly eve estimated. The trusts "nd corporatiol arc unaminous in their beH that the federal plan to appoil eceivers for the big monoplil Is-wrong. - - . .

"Tllc Preacher and the Bear" from Anotller View. Courage is one of tbe bigh attributes - tributes of human nature. 'l'here arc two kinds of courage and for the purpose of this article I we will call them honorable and I dishonorable. ' 1'he dishonorable courage dc- I lig-hts in daring deeds-fearlcss . of consequences a 1111 glories in I physical or mental combativeness. Fr'quent1y that kinc1 of courage is prompted h1 angcr , ran1er than good motives. 1'heir ambition - bition to engage their advisary in physical combat i'3 not the only phase of this courage nor is "it confined to either sex. The courage of the'tongue of the tattler , which docs not hesitate - tate to bus v itself in other people's affairs or to injure the good namc of another often results 111 more harm than docs physical strife. Another phase of that dishonorable - honorable .tourage manifests itself by cowardly metbods. Sometimcs in writing to another or s nding an article to the paper for publication concerning" some enc , with-hol(1 ng their own name. Sometimes they will prompt 'someone l'lse to do some mean act and keep themsclvcs in the bal.l'\ground. \ ' 1'hat we consider most detestable coward- i.c. 'rhe honorable coura ge is the one whIch is actua ecl by principles - ples of right. 'l'he courage that scelcs to do the right thing and has the power to say no when tempted to do wrong. ' , It is a grace not common to us aU and can only be acqUIred by living in close touch with .the tea hjngs of God's word. , Apostle Paul gave us a striking example of true courage when' ' he was' brought , bound , before li'clix and stood up in the m'idst and boldly declared Christ. ' 1'he man or woman who has th discretion to hold his tongue , control their tempcr and the courage to exemplify the teaching - ing of Christ , when he said , "Re- sist not evil ; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy' right cheek turn to him the other also , " has I attained to that degree of Christian - tian courage that should be commended - mended rather than ridiculed- ' especially by Christians. When Rev. Baumgardner was sinitten . on one chcel { he manifested the - Christ spirit in retreating , practicing what he preach s. ' 1'mt PUIII.ISHRR. Gun Club Organized. A number of citizens of Broken Bow , with the object of organizing - ing a gun club , met at the court house Monday evening. J. G. VaalCott was chosen chairman l1 and Chas. K. Bassett secretary. Aftcr consideration of the matter and remarks by Capt. Hardy , of Lincoln , who chanced to be in the city , an organizajion was perfected by the election of the following o1I cers : John McGraw - Graw , presid nt ; J. G. VanCott , vice-pres. ; Chas. K. Bassett , secretary ; E. H. Holcomb , treas. ; Walter Harris , field captain. ' 1'he membership fee was placed at $2.00 , and committees appointed on Gonstitution and By-Laws and to select grounds. It is the intention to hold a shooting tournament during fair week which will bring a large number to thc'city from all parts of the state and the efforts 01 the club are worthy of encourage. ment.
