THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JULY 7 1905.
Disreputable Prejudice
A certain self-styled reputa
ble newspaper published in this
city hired a certain disreputa
ble tramp and professional ad
grafter to get out a special
issue last week , and if , by any
accident , copies of this paper
should fall into the hands of
strangers or , those not acquaint
ed with Falls City as she really
is , it Is liable to do the town a
whole lot df harm and work an
injury to every citizen and bus
iness man. The write-up of tlio
town was as inaccurate as igno
rance , incompetency and a ma
licious desire to underestimate ,
could make it. The town and
its industries , its resources and
its advantages are. written up
from the narrow , Hellish and
prejudiced viewpoint of the
publishers of this so-called
" " while
"reputable" newspaper ,
the very write-up itself is suffi
cient to brand the said publish
ers as a set of reprehensible
knockers-and their newspaper
as a positive damage to the
town.
On the first page appears a
cut of what purports to be a
picture of the churches of Rills
City. Five edillces are shown
when in fact there are ten
church buildings in Falls City.
In the text of the article on the
churches , the German Evangel
ical church , the membership of
which is composed of sonio of
our best and most substantial
German-American citizenship ,
is entirely ignored. Strangers
seeking information concerning
a town are vitally interested in
the extent and nature of its
church inlluence. Hut little re
liable information is to be
gained by them from the article
in question.
In referring to the business
enterprises of the town this
"reputable" newspaper has care
fully avoided mentioning anj1
man whose business is not advertised -
vertised in its columns , and
some of the principal concenu
and industries have been pur
posely omitted , all of whicli
makes the write-up of the towr
misleading to the stranger whc
is not acquainted with the pub
lishers , their likes and dislike :
and their prejudices. So 1110.113.

liberately belittle a town f <
narrow and selfish person

fearful and wonderful write-i
of Falls City. Where there a
two or three business concer
of a kind , only those who ha
bought advertising space in t'
paper are mentioned , all
which is very misleading to t
outsider , and leaves an impn
sion that every loyal citizen
the town should seek to correi
Among the important manuf ;
turing concerns in this town
a brewer } ' , the product of whi
has been commended by govei
ment chemists and the annr
sale of said product is very
large , but in this strange pen
picture of Falls City there is no
reference thereto.
Among the illustrations ap.
pears a picture of the Falls City
State Bank building , and the
same is duly labeled , " 1C. of tj.
Hall. " It is true that the
ICnights of Pythias have a very
line hall on the third lloorof the
building , but the structure was
built for the State bank , to
which no reference is made.
T I ) e advertising patronage
was secured on the promise to
write up the town and make the
special issue of value to the
business men in attracting at
tention to the town and adver
tisiitg its resources. Instead of
this a garbled write-up , colored
by prejudice and belittling the
town has been issued and has
drawn forth many expressions
of sincere regret on the part of
those who really have the best
interests of the town at heart.
Congressional Issues.
The republican paity will Hot-
tie the question of government
power to duelare what Hhall be a
reasonable rale. It is a Republican -
can adminiBtralion that IB asking
the needed legiHtatiou , a Republi
can President who in forcing the
issue and a republican Congress
with a Republican majority will
enact the legislation. What Presi
dent Roosevelt wants is a Repub
lican member of Congress from
tlio first district of Nobraksa to
enter the Republican Congress
and stand by his efforts there to
help overcome opposition and to
be a part of and a force in secur
ing tlit ) legislation demanded by the
President and the people of this
country. A democrat in Con
gress from this district cannot do
what a Republican can. Every
one must HOC this. A democrat is
u muinbur of the democratic cnu
uus , a member of a party thai in
spite of its protestations of sup
port of the president , will first and
above everything , try to discredit
the Republican administration and
policies. The way to do some
thing to bring about the re-suits
so vital to the welfare of the people
ple of this district , results de
manded by the President , is to
send a man to Congress who can
work with the President and whose
going menus something and will
accomplish something. The people
ple of this district too thoroughly
understand the situation to bo mis
lead by Mr. Bryan's platform and
the Parker candidate.
The democrats in this Congres
sional compaign besides attempting -
ing to bolster up their cause by
endorsing President Roosevelt and
his rate reduction policy in their
platform , also followed the Republican -
publican platform on the paes
question. This is what they Say :
"Wo condemn the free pass system
Wo demand not only that public
officials bo prohibited under
heavy penalties from accepting
such favors , but tlmt the entire
t free pass system be abolished.
Tlio free pass to the public offi
cial places him under obligations
t to the corporation extending the
favor. " But further on in their
platform they turn about fuco
presumably to allow their candi
date to stand on the platform and
say : Wo Pledge the people of
First Congressional district of Ne
braska , that the nominee of tliie
ir Convention will not accept favors

'P ' be more inconsistent and doubh
dealing with the than these tw <
isle positions on the pass question ,
Why did not the democrats conit
le out squarely and pledge thei
of candidate against the use of pi s
ics which they so completely condomi
s- and make it impossible if the'
sof
of mean what they say for any ofli
cial to touch or handle a pass. In
c stead of this they say their candi

REVIVALS NOW THE RAGE.
Great Spiritual Movements In a So-
Called Materialistic Age Are
Becoming Popular.
"This is a material age. " llow
often that is sai'd. ITow true it
seems to he , till some strong ideal
istic phenomenon gives it the lie !
In the Now York Schenectady , n
capital of materialism , u city o (
locomotives and electric plants ,
there has been a great and sincere
old-fashioned religious revival ,
says Everybody's Magazine.
Great meetings were held in
churches , theaters and public
halls. The fervor , the penitence ,
the religious emotion of the camp-
meeting of the hearers of the "re
vivalists" in simple days , were dis
played in this "material age. "
Men and women turned to.the
things of the spirit. They aspired
to better lives. There was amoral
effect as well as a religious excite
ment. For example , liquor-sell
ing fell off greatly. In Denver ,
Col. , immense religious mass-
meetings were held. On an ap
pointed "day of prayer , " the pub-
lie schools , the city ofllces and
many business establishments
were closed. Even the theaters
were given over to religious serv
ices and were crowded. In Den
ver , as in Schenectady , there was
a union of the Protestant sects.
The result indicated how much
energy and opportunity of fruit
ful effort are wasted on petty
names and divisions , matters of
mint and cummin , in South
Wales , too , there has been a great
revival , and an American evangel
ist and an American singer ol
hymns have been holding revival
meetings in Albert-Memorial hall ,
London. Such reactions against
materialism are inevitable. Ke
ligion is a permanent human need

OLD-TIME FISHING IS FUN.
Though Unsportsmanlike , Spearing
for Pickerel Wno Very Popu
lar Long Ago.
Years ago the writer was invit
ed to accompany two or three
friends to fish for pickerel at night
in a rather shallow millpoud , lo
cated in a Massachusetts town ,
says a scribe in Recreation. A
flat-bottomed boat was used , and
an iron rod about four feet long
was attached to the bow of the
boat in a perpendicular position.
On the upper end of the rod was
placed an iron receptacle contain
ing a fire. "Pitch pine knots" were
used , which burn for a long time
and supply a sutllcieut amount of
light to enable the man at the bow
of the boat to see the bottom of
the pond. A spear with four or
five barbed prongs was used , the
boat being gently propelled by one
of the party. The man at the bow ,
with spear in readiness , kept n
sharp lookout. When a pickerel
was seen , a quick thrust was made
with the spear. The man had
practically a sure thing of it , the
pickerel having little chance to es
cape from the unsportsmanlike
procedure.

PLANT LIFE IN THE SOUTH
Most Conspicuous Trees Are the Live
Oak and Magnolia Pecan and
Tig in Evidence.
The trees most- conspicuous in
southern cities are the live oak
and varieties of the magnolia.
The heavy , glossy leaves of the
magnolia seem to fall one by one
through the year , so that the
branches are never bare. In the
spring its large white flowers
make an impressive contrast with
the dark green foliage , and the re
sult is nothing less than a vision
of beauty. The spreading limbs
of the live oak shed their leaves
not in the fall , but in the spring
when the new leaves crowd off the
frosted winter covering. Other
trees in evidence are the tall pe
can , the low fig , and the spotted
gum , all deciduous. The pecan
nut is a valuable crop , and is no
cheaper in its native markets
than it is in Chicago. The great
size of the fig leaf suggests the
reason for its early popularity as
an article of clothing. All Hible
students should note that there
are no blossoms on fig trees , that
the fig grows out of the stem af
the same time and in the same
way as the leaf. This is not a land
of winter flowers as is southern
California , though some speci
mens shiver in sheltered spots.
With half a chance , however , the
immaculate white camellia cir
cles its waxen petals around its
heart of gold and the red japonica
covers its branches with almost
scarlet glory. Then comes the az
alea trying to hide every vestige
of its green bush with its profu
sion of variegated cups , and the
Avistaria vines , climbing to the
roofs of the dwellings , drop their
purple clusters into the swaying
breezes. When the spring has
surely come flowers of every name
and hue break into full bloom in
a day , not as though they were try
ing to grow , but as though they
would die if they did not. It would
take a mountain of adjectives to
describe adequately all these
tropical beauties ,
