LEGISLATORS AGREE
Democrats Wet and Dry Get To
gether Organize House and
Senate
Everything is smooth and tranquil
in legislative circles Both houses
aave organized and the nominations
of the united democratic members
jave been ratified in the first formal
Kralhering of the thirty second session
fohn Kuhl is speaker named by the
house membership of the democratic
party By the same vote as per cau
cus arrangement the chief clerkship
las been given to Henry C Richmond
f Omaha In the senate end the
resident pro tern is J H Morehead
l Richardson county and the secre
ary of the senate is W H Smith
of Seward After a session lasting
from high neon until 230 the house
tdjourned to meet again this morn
ng at 10 oclock The senate ad
journed to meet at 11 oclock In
ioint session the two houses will can
vass the vote on state officers and de
clare the result This is but a for
mal proposition with one exception
and that is a railway commissioner
What looked for a time like--a
breach within the majority party
which might not he closed for a day
or two has been amicably settled by
judicious compromises on both sides
The democrats are in the main satis
fied and the republicans are more
than satisfied While a majority of
the republicans in each house was pre
Mared to come to the aid of the in
surgent dry democrats in case the
espective fights were carried to the
floors for settlement the general sen
timent of the minority now is that
he settlement effected is perhaps
he best way out that the responsibil
ty now rests on the majority party

A NEW YEAR WISH
In this first issue of the new year
The Tribune wants tc express the
hope that the year 1911 may be one
of the most prosperous and success
ful in every line of activity in the
history of Red Willow county
Logically next year the new year
should be the best ever with every
hopeful helpful progressive citizen
Beyond the Alps lies Italy
So in expressing this wish for
1911 we are giving form in words to
the natural feeling of all men that
there is something better ahead the
yearning for larger success in fu
ture Little progress would be made
in the world without the inspiration
of this universal sentiment among
men
But men are largely the carvers of
their own fortunes and towns and
counties and states are simply men
in the aggregate The measure of
success and prosperity in Red Willow
county in 1911 will be largely in pro
portion to the confidence and energy
and intelligence the business men and
farmers and workmen exhibit in their
several businesses and avocations
Success is largely conditioned on
confidence in self in business and in
the city county and state in wj
one is living
Expressing this idea in local trl
it would mean that if the peoplj
Red Willow county want to advj
the county in production and pr
J ity they must believe in the posj
ities of its soil and climate and I
go ahead in cheerful confidence
seeding and cultivation Those
farm hopelessly do so inviting
ure and disappointment
If we would realize in Mel
what we all fondly wish and
our capitalists must have confifl
in the citys bright and pron1
outlook and must invest their njl
here in developing its induy
building its business blocks
dences etc and in general in fl
ing local indusrties etc
So The Tribunes wish for the
izens of Red Willow county foil
new year is increased courage
confidence
Let all move forward determinl
make the best of all opportutl
and when a year has rolled ail
the chances are that we will
made reasonable progress and rd
a fair measure of success and
perity
