Notv it's tin* "sweet girl grad
uate,’’
God bless the mothers every
day should be mother’s day.
Don't tell ns Falls City is not
a "live one.’’ A medicine show
for the past ten days and no
deaths directly traceable to that
cause. _
Humboldt, according to the
Leader, has had more than her
share of beggars this spring.
Falls City catches them going
and coming, we opine, for there
is never a day passes that we're
- slighted by them.
The graduating class of tile
high school wisely secured their
invitations at a newspaper of
tice. Anyway, it wouldn't look
iust right to send out of town or
get them from any other source,
when it’s the newspaper that is
always saying nice things about
them the whole year long.
TWO OPINIONS
ONE.
A paper down the street says it
will print a real daily if the people
want it. How much does that pa
per think the people will stand?
Wayfarer ami family news once a
week is enough for the public.
This daily talk is sour grapes any
how. The Journal s attending to
the daily field nicely. Falls City
News.
THE OTHER.
“Judge Isham Reavis, of Falls
City, is writing a hook called “The
Reminiscences of a Wayfarer," in
which much of the early history of
Nebraska is being told, in a style
so entertaining that it will be one
of the most valuable literary pro
ductions of Nebraska. The story 1
is being run through the pages ot
the Falls City Tribune.” Lincoln
State Capital.
Now, gentle reader, which opin
ion is worth the most? The prej
udiced, narrow - minded, sellish.
jealous one of the paper up the
alley, or the one of the Lincoln
State Capital, one of Lincoln’s
leading newspapers.
It’s up to you.

LINCOLN A PIONEER
The prohibition victory in
Lincoln, the capital of the state,
is significant. This fact must
be borne in mind: Lincoln is the
second largest city in the’ United
States, of themetropolitan class,
located in a state where consti
tutional prohibition does not
prevail, where the preference of
the voters, as expressed at the
polls, is for a •dry” town. The
largest city of the class in the
country is Worcester, Mass.
Lincoln is a cosmopolitan city.
It is a university town. It is a
state capitoi and it is only on
the initiativeof the citizens that
the city is in the “dry” class.
Lincoln is unique in this partic
ular. There was no county op
tion, no state vote to make the
capitoi go dry. The only de
duction is that the vote of Lin
coln, as a city, was a vote that
was based on common sense. It
was rational and shows the ten
dency of the times. There is a
moral uplift, as well as a spirit
ual uplift abroad in the land, it
calls for absolute temperance in
all things. It isarevolt against
the vicious and is the result of
intelligent thought and action
of the highest order. We are
living in strenuous days and
there must be a conservation of
the physical, mental and moral
elements of manhood to meet the
daily problems of manhood to
meet the daily problems and
ideals of life. The national at
titude is opposed to waste. It
is the new thought and Lincoln,
with the sisterhood of “dry”
towns in Nebraska is a pioneer
in the vanguard of the move
ment. The winning of the state
eapitol to prohibition may be
taken as one of thestraws which
shows the way the wind is blow
ing Auburn Republican.
Our contemporary wants to
know what we expect the public
to stand from this “family jour
nal"? From our increasing' busi-\
ness each year the public ap
pear to take kindly to a clean
“family newspaper.” The only
“hollar” we hear is from up the
alley. Talk about sour grapes,
the garden is filled with the
Davis variety.

1909. at City Park

the Falls City Chautauqua As
sociation will be held in the

evangelist, whose only rival as
a crowd getter, is the lion. W.
.f. Bryan: Congressman R. D.
Hobson, of Merrimac fame; the
llinshaw Orand Opera Quartet.
These star attractions will
be supplemented by a list of tal
ent that is hard to outclass. On
the program will be found such
attractions as Gabriel McGuire,
Robert Darker Miles, Toronto
Male Quartet, K. \V. Lanham,
“Drummer” Moore, Booth Low
rey, Mason's Jubilee Singers,
Ralph Darlette, Brush, magic
i a n, Ash Davis, cartoonist,
Judge Sadler, Senor Ramon
Reyes Lala, and Miss Martha
Clark, domestic science, o n e
w’eek.
This list should please the
most fastidious for it is a quali
ty list.
Begin boosting now. T h e
Chautauqua is a home organiza
tion, managed by home people
in the interest of our own home
community. *

A REAL MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Held at Convention Hall in Kansas
City Monday
-V new standard tor music in
Kansas City was made by two re
markable concerts at that place
in Convention Hall Monday. Both
afternoon and evening the size of
the audiences and their enthusi
asm gave the event an atmos
phere of a musical festival There
were about nine thousand people
present at the concerts.
This was an excellent treat to
hear some of the works of Carl
Busch ami the co-operation of
choral societies from Clay Center,
Kans., Bonner Springs, Fort
Scott, Kans., Falls City, Xebr..
and Kansas City.
The program in the evening
was a very good one, but the last
number “The Four Winds” is the
one that particularly attracted
the attention of Falls City people,
as Mrs. Charles Banks and her
chorus took part in it. They
made a good showing and our
people should indeed feel proud.
Finger Badly Cut
While trying to catch hold of
the back of a wagon one day
this week, Lloyd Wahl caught a
ring that was on his finger on a
nail protruding from the vehi
cle, cutting the finger so badly
that it was necessary to call a
physician. 1). M. Davies was
also sent for to tile the ring
from the injured member.
The accident was a very pain
ful one and should be a lesson
to the small boys who are in
the habit ot hanging onto wag
ons as they are going up and
down the street.
