Willow Co Subscription 1 a Year in Advance The Tribune gathers from 117 ex changes that it is unlawful in Nebraska to sell fruit of the hen of uncertain vin tage It should be the object of the Christ ian people of McCook to Keep enough salt in this part of the moral vine yard to keep us out of quarantine King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain will have no difficulty in matri culating in the Roosevelt club They were married May 31 1906 Their first son was born on May 10 1907 and the second boy will celebrate his birthdays on June 22 1908 For violation of the Sherman anti trust law twenty four paper manufact urers were each fined S2000 Monday in federal court by Judge Hough But as the trust cleared 1600000 last year from their unlawful trust combination they can stand the fines and will not be forced into the hands of receivers Coming up for reelection State Rail way Commissioner J A Williams has experience and close study in this very difficult work to command him to the people of Nebraska for their favorable consideration and action at the polls besides he has been fearless and im partial and seeks to be just and square dealing Worse things can befall McCook than the preachers and old women hav ing a voice in her municipal affairs At all events my countrymen ought they Dot to have an equal opportunity a square deal with the saloonmen and the sports generally The Tribune is just old fashioned and orthodox enough to believe that the Almighty still has a working interest in McCook The Tribune believes that the people of McCook know and believe that it is not impractical or impossible to prohibit Sunday baseball playing or close up the houses of disrepute Both can be ac complished by the order of the mayor Both are contrary to law and ordinance Both are prohibited by human and Di vine enactments If allowed to exist in McCook it is because the authorities prefer they shall rather then enforce the btatutes against them If the peo ple do not insist upon their prohibition it will also signify that lust and greed outweigh law and social purity with us Are these still binding on us Thou shalt not commit adultery Remem ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy Or have we forgotten the thunderings of Mount Sinaii Then why so puncti lious about Thou shalt not steal Is the loot of an imperial treasury compar able with the debauchment of one im mortal soul Are we eeriously more intent upon acquiring gold and indulg ing our passions upon debased women then we are in promoting and protect ing virtue and womanhood Does our craze for sports or idle amusement over shadow our respect for Sunday entirely Are we Do we Correspondence Wanted The Tribune wants correspondence from Perry and Coleman precincts in fact from any part of the country where the paper is

of a hundred men Decked with rare tints with gorgeous colors and with indescribable hues he grins at the startled thousands a degenerate man or redeemed brute which is he Scientists have not answered the ques tion He has passed through Hagen becks school for animals and has thrown aside many antics and notions of the brute creation and taken on many idiosyncracies of finite man He is at once a wonder and a mystery and his queer grimaces and wise expressions provoke smiles and serious reflections from the simple and the philosophical To see this rare freak of nature is never to forget it The

Hardware Cos of the few weeks to his parents and relatives best makes at the lowest prices FOLLOWING THE ENGLISH IDEA First Notable Example of Regard for the Appearance of Things In this country the first notable ex ample of regard for the appearance of things along the line was furnished by a great railway company in the middle states Here the English Idea was followed In keeping with the excep tionally thorough organization of the companys service the manifest aim In these Improvements was to have everything along the line present what along the seaboard is known as a shipshape appearance that Is to bear a neat trim and well groomed look as on a ship where the decks are kept Immaculately holystoned the woodwork freshly scraped or painted the brasses polished the ropes colled ets Such conditions on shipboard are marks of discipline good repair and general efficiency So on a rail way where in similar ways attention is given to good appearance public confidence In safe and competent management is promoted Therefore just as the good mechanic takes care to make his joint swell fitting and his lines good so on this model railway the nicest attention was given to a thoroughly well ordered appearance of all the work about and near the tracks For instance the crossties are square ly cut at an exactly uniform distance from the rails on the roadbed the bal last is bordered by clean and regular lines the yards are kept scrupulously clean and clear of all rubbish and about the stations and other buildings the turf is nicely maintained In this case however until recently little at tention has ever been given to really artistic character the way stations as a rule are not architectural in the way of adornment some sparse flower beds represent good intention rather than achievement Two diverse methods are exempli fied in our forms of railway embellish ment One is governed by the prin ciple that ornament should be devel oped from the character of the thing ornamented that while general prin ciples may be laid down for guidance their application must be modified ac cording to the circumstances attend ing each particular problem What would be admirable in one place might prove wholly out of keeping and cor respondingly bad in another The second method has found a wider ac ceptance This proceeds with the as sumption that ornament consists in something pretty something decora tive that applying this prettiness to things makes them beautiful The former method was adopted for the first railway line in the United States where a comprehensive attempt at artistic treatment was made The results have been so beautiful so wholly admirable and withal so truly economical in maintenance that it seems remarkable that the example has not been more widely followed From Sylvester Baxters The Rail way Beautiful in the Century Millions Spent to Save Time Some one has estimated that it has cost the Pennsylvania from 200000 to 1000000 for each minute saved in its schemes to promote speed on its lines It has leveled parts of moun tains throwing them to this side or that it has tunneled has drawn crooked lines into straight tracks has spent millions for new bridges has cut across ravines filled in river crossings and changed the topography of entire sections at least such as those through which its lines ran It is only because they are typical of the spirit of the age and more am bitious from the mere standpoint of money spending than others that the plans of Pennsylvanias and New York Centrals fight against Father Time have been enlarged upon here All over the land the same battle is being waged money is being used without stint Tunnels are piercing mountains ex pensive steel bridges are replacing wooden structures in the last ten years the Pennsylvania it is said has spent at least 15000000 on them and the Wabash system has put out even more within five years tracks are be ins straightened and strengthened and new equipment to guarantee speed provided Railroad Activities The railroad plays its part in all the wide activities of western life writes Ray Stannard Baker in the Century You will find it a vital pow er in politics often sinister often cor rupting always commanding Here is an especially bright newspaper which supports with sober logic the pretensions of the road Delve deep and you will find the money of the road working in the editorial till Here is a struggling church the road has not only furnished the land for the new building but its money has purchased the cabinet organ and the big Bible This street carnival glitters more brightly because the road has been amiable this water power has been developed because the road took part of the stock this library has more books because the first vice president has been interested And so mingling good and evil the road pursues its commanding purposes the development of an empire Division of Railroads Of the 600000 miles of railway in the world only about ten per cent are found in strictly tropical territory and no more than 15 per cent within what would be termed tropical and sub tropical areas Tracks abound in the temperate zone Put Stop to Use
