THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY 17 , 1908 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Entered a * second-das' * matter at Falls City , Nebraska , j est office , Janu ary 12 , 1904 , under the Act of Congress of March 3,1870.

Alabama is for Taft. It is be ginning to look like a nomination by acclamation. Another county in Missouri has voted apainst license. Who would have thought that of Mis souri ? We are adding new names to our list right along although the price is now $1-50. Take The Tribune for the news. Do you still put butter color in your butter ? Remember we now ha\c a law prohibiting the sale of impure food , colored butter among the rest. Nebraska raises 80 per cent of the pop corn produced for com mercial purposes in the United States. It ought to be a favorite state with lovers of that species of popism. The democrats have full con trol of all the county oflices. The county board of supervisors is made up of five democrats , only one republican and John Hinton. Now watch for the much talked of economy. The coming Republican Na tional convention promises to be one of tbe most interesting conTentious - Tentious held i n recent years. With Taft , Hughes. Lafollett , Knox and seycral other prospec tive candidates to select from the Chicago convention will not be a cut and dried affair. But a few more weeks until the Farmer's Institute will be held. Try to arrange so as to attend every session. You will be inter ested and improved by the lec tures. The exhibits of farm pro ducts will be instructive and edu cative. Why not have an exhibit of some of your own farm pro ducts ? Let your sons and daugh ters attend. It will create ir them interest in the noblestoc- cupation of man. There has been a sentiment among a certain class of people against the Salvation Army. The army , however , has grown in the esteem of the people at large am many who at one time expresscc themselves unfavorably towards it , now speak in the highcs terms of the good work done bj it * It works in the slums ant among the lowlv where man } churches do not enter. Among many of the notable achieve ments , within the last year is the great work done by its bureau formed to help the despondent , and those who may be found who entertain thoughts of suicide. Within the last six months in Chicago alone , it is * said that it lias saved 335 persons from sui cide. Such a record is not to be sneered at no matter what we may think of the army in other particulars. Now that we have a city park , Jet us beautify it and make it a credit to the people of Falls City It is the property of every citizen of the town , and of no one indi vidual. It is conveniently locatet and well drained. It is in a sight ly place- How would it be i each family in the city would se out one or more shade trees 01 Arbor day , the city to direct the planting ? For that matter the city could hire several men to do tbe setting of the trees , who would sec that the work wa done according to some definit plan. Why not have each grad ; of the city school spend one hal day in setting out trees there Even if each grade set only a fe\ trees it would give them an in terest in the park and help in getting it partly set out. The Republican State commit- e wisely left it to the discretion f the central committee of each utility as to whether to call a ounty primary to si'ect thcdtl- gatcs to the state convention , ere o h'ave it to a caucus as has been lone heretofore. There is no law > roviding for a primary election o be held for that purpose. There seems to be quite a wide liffercnce of opinion as to which the better method to pursue , [ 'here is , however , one difference between a primary held for the purpose of selecting delegates to he state convention , who in turn will select the delegates to the lational convention , and a pri- nary held tor the purpose of tiaking nominations for county and state offices , which it seems t may be well to consider. In he latter case , a primary nomi- lates the candidates for the vari ous offices. In the former case it only selects the delegates whelp lp to make the nominations. It tppears that the strongest reason n the minds of the legislature which enacted our primary law vas a desire to proyide a method of ascertaining the true wish of he majority of the people in the naking of nominations.N here here is no doubt as to the wish of the majority , the simpler and1 norc economical the method followed owed , the wiser. In this county he sentiment appears to be over whelmingly in favor of the nomi- lation of Taft. There is no netliod provided for meeting the expenses ot holding a primary except by public subscription or contribution. If a party caucus n each precinct will truly ex press the majority of the republi cans , it seems that that would be ; he proper method to pursue , un- ess some way is contrived for de fraying the expenses of the pri- nary.

WOMEN AND PET DOGS _ One Owner of Wriggling Nuisance' Would Be Glad to See Fad Die Out. A woman who was bniicrcd to be devotedly attncln-d to the liny Pe kinese that lins accompanied her to most of the social functions aha has' attended for two or three seasons , has just surprised her friends by the statement that in her opinion , if we could only all go mad on Teddy bears as quickly as possible one of the worst plagues of society would be removed. "I assure you , " she said , "that woman detest carrying about irritating little animals , all yaps and sniffs and wriggling logs , and they are constantly hcing made more unhappy by the fact of other women possessing smaller , uglier , or more expensive pet dogs than their own. But a Teddy Iwar is a perfect pet. Its manners at meal times arc exemplary , as it will sit on a chnir and smile interminably without coveting any food. When you and your friends arc all talking at once at the top of your voices it doesn't make thceluinormore deafening with its barks. It nuver jumps abruptly into your lap , that already has n ten- cup , or when you arc at bridge scat ters your winnings and your hand far and wide * nl n critical moment. " WHAT HE FELT LIKE. t It was the first time he had sung I in an Kpicopal choir , and he felt strangely out of place in the vest ments he wore. The other choris ters looked comfortable enough , hut , the new one was sure he would trip on the skirts of his cassock when ho went up the chancel steps , and he knew that if he did not stop perspir ing his clean linejj cotta would he sadly mussed. The opening prayer had been intoned by the rector , and the singers were in line waiting for ! the introduction to the processional j ' to ho played , when one of the basses whispered in the new man's ear : "You're a tenor , aren't you ? " "I suppose so , " lie replied , "but I feel like a twospot. " A HELPING HAND. When the foreign missionary had concluded his talk , he made the usual appeal for contributions , how ever small. Coining up the platform with several others , a small boy mounted to the level of the lecturer and hastening toward him said : "Please , sir , I was very much in terested in your lecture , and and " "Go on , my little man , " said the missionary encouragingly. "You want to help in the good work ? " I "Not exactly , sir , " paid the boy. "What I want to know is , have you ' any foreign stamps you don't want ? " Success Magazine. j EVIDENTLY WAS HUNGRY. I j The announcement that the clever Wit Ting Fang is to return to this i country as minister of China at Washington serves to recall a witticism - , ticism of his on the occasion of his last outing with the president. When the two returned to town , after a strenuous dash across the Hock Creek country , the president had said : I " .My walk has done me a lot of good. I'm quite ready now for a brace of quail. " "So am I , " gravely returned Wu , "only I should prefer my brace to be turkeys. " PATSY SURPRISED. A teacher in a Brooklyn school the other day was showing her class of small boys how to make some dif ferent kinds of knots. Most of them were very apt pupils in this sort of instruction , but there was one who did not seem to be interested. "Patsy , " said the teacher , "have you made any knots ? " "No , " answered Patsy. "No what ? " the teacher inquired in n corrective tone. "No knots , " said the boy , as j though ho were surprised at the ' fnnnl\f\ ' teacher's ignorance. EVOLUTION IN THE CHURCH. ' f The English church of the twcnti- | cth century is far more humane , moro merciful , more enlightened , more wise , than the church of the fifteenth century. Looking hack one cannot fail to sec the enormous progress that has heen made , liven in our own day the church lias outgrown - grown many things. It no longer hurls hell fire at us , for instance , and it has long ceased to count Charles Darwin as nn enemy of God and mankind. The Planet. , RULO. J Kd Duvta was In St Joe Monday.
