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

Scientists have not answered the ques

thrown aside many antics and notions
of the brute creation and taken on
many idiosyncracies of finite man He

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 of Profanity
Orders have been posted in the
shops of the Pennsylvania railway sys
tem prohibiting swearing among the
men while at work The penalty will
be an enforced vacation
