A TWO YEAR OLD.
With tltis issue Tin- Tribune
completes its second year of life.
The road it has traveled has not
always been pleasant nor free
from care and anxiety , but the
only thinjr of consequence is that
notwithstanding the roughness
of the journey , it has arrived.
The Tribune is the bi est two
year old in the state of Nebraska.
It is also the most widely read
paper in Kichardson count } ' . By
reason of the absorption of the
school paper , the Rule paper and
the Ilumboldt ICtiterprise it has
obtained a circulation that reach
es every rural route in the county
and is read by more Kichardson
county people than any other
local paper. The most encour-
atfintf fact to the management
however , is the fact that its sub
scription list is constantly in
creasing
The Tribune has ceased to be a
liability and has become an asset.
It is now on a satisfactory pay
ing basis and we believe is des
tined to become more remunera
tive in the future. Many thou
ght our subscription price of $1.00
a year was in advance of the
timesi and frequent were the pre
dictions of failure. The experi
mental stage is passed ; the fu
ture is assured and crying crit-
its have ceased their doleful pre
dictions.
The Tribune's policy in the
future may be gleaned from its
conduct in the past. It will be
as formerly a republican news
paper. It .vill be absolutely in
dependent of private interest and
will serve the general community
in accordance with its judgment
of right. It will not be a timeserver -
server nor permit its columns to
be used by any man or combina
tion of men to their own interest
and at the expense of the general
good. It will be unafraid in all
things. It will never , never be
the purveyor of scandal.
The Tribune will try to give
value receive for every dollar it
receives whether paid for sub
scription , advertising or job work.
It will always keep clean in its
every department.
It will ever be a
QUO VADiS.
The other evening the operatoi
of a phonograph was playing foi
his friends some of the old songs ,
such as "Silver Threads AIUOUK
the Gold , " "Whhen you and I
were Young , Maggie" etc. Then
he remarked , "lets have some
thing modern , " and then played
"Won't you come Home Bill
Bailey , " "I've got a Feclin' for
you , " and "In the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree. " The contrasl
is indeed shocking. Some follow
who knew once said "sing me tin
songs of a nation and I will tel
you of its people. " What wouh
one's judgment be if based 01
those songs which are now pop
ular with the American people'
The trouble with America is no
that it isrj't going forward rapidb
enough , the trouble is that i
ought to back up , Return to tin
simple life , the life of labor am
hardship if need be. Value tin
real more and the frivolous less.
Where one of Shakcspear's class
ics appears on the stage once a
thousand musical comedies are
heard. This is true because of the
demand. The stage doesn't cre
ate sentiment , it responds to a
sentiment , it responds to a senti
ment already created. American
sentiment is of the vaudeville
brand. It is disclosed by the
books we read and that are be
ing published and sold by the
thousand every year , by the songs
that arc written and sung , by the
plays at the theaters and by the
plays that are not at the theaters ,
by the garish , gaudy decorations
of our great hotels and the pop
ping of corks in their cafes , by
the advance of club life and the
decadence of home life , by the
blind struggle after riches absorb
ing the waking hours of the
modern man and leaving no time
for culture , or contemplation , by
the following after that which is
frivilous and the indifference to
that which is sincere and worthy.
We ma } * be old fashioned , but not
so old fashioned that we care to
dwell on the good old days. We
may be old fashioned , we are old
fashioned to the extent that we
regret that "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" has been dis
placed by "I've got a Fceliu' for
you , " that "old curiosity shop"
is covered with dust on neglected
book shelves while two hundred
thousand copies of "The Crisis'
were sold in 18 month8 , thai
Mtuc. Ilighkick draws crowded
houses at the Orphcum and sucli
names as Edwin Booth are bill
memories.
It's time to back up , to rcturr
to the reali the enduring. In tlu
days of a nations prosperity , like
an individual , it is prone to gc
the wrong way.
One day the Lord met Petei
without the gates of Jerusalen
and asked of him the question ,
"Quo Vadis ? " Meaning , when
goest thou ?
Have you written it l'J05 yet' :
The Salem Commercial club if
the right sort , the sort that wants
a thing done and then does it.
Is it worth while to hate ? It
makes you insufferable to youi
friends , embitters your life ant
dries up the purest fountain ol
your being , the divine attribute
of love.
