THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Entered as second-class matter at Falls City. Nebraska,.post oftiee. Janu ary 12, under the Act of Congress an March 3,187b.

Eighteen-stall round-house sounds flue, docs it not? .Warh all railroads lead to Seat lb these days. Those that don’t, at hast lend westward. Mi h the arrival of the bathing and boating season comes also the tragic chronicle of disasters In the water, Don’t be a knocker—pull with the crowd. Don’t argue—this is no time for nrgumtfnt. This Is a time for doing things for (lie upbuilding of Palls City. M'ith the Nemaha straightened out, with the completion of the big ditch, nud with all the good things that the Missouri Pacific promises to bring to our city, the outlook for Falls City ia bright, indeed. It is not nil sunshine for the farmer these days. There are dark and lowering clouds and much rain fall, and there is still much grain to be cared for. Hut it la the way of Nature, to smile at times and then to frown. Each summer the people of Falls City are becoming more adapted in th** art of getting entertainment and comfort at home, rather than seek ing discomfort and ennui elsewhere. It is good for Falls City socially and financially. Recently a bank in Texas was re ported as having been robbed of $8,000 in broadlight by a masked robber. Upon Investigation It turns out that the robber wore no mask and was unarmed—it was*the cashier. Same old story. In the matter of treating with the Missouri Pacific railway company re garding terminal improvements to be made* hero, there is scarcely a dis senting voice among our people. This is as it should be. Harmony is very essential in the upbuilding of a city. When all of a town’s citizens think alike and pull together, things usual ly happen that result In a benefit to all concerned. SIDEWALK PHILOSOPHY. It matters not if the best civil en gineers and experts of the country pronounce the Nemaha ditch a feas ible plan, the sidewalk philosopher pronounces it a useless expenditure of money and puts in his full time trying to prove his point, evidently forgetting that ditches and drains and canals are of ancient origin. These sidewalk philosophers do little harm after all; big projects are carried for ward in spite of them—the world grows better in spite of them. They do not help build up, but their puny efforts count for little in tearing down. The sidewalk philosopher is simply a pest, the same as the bed bug and the flea. TRIBUTE TO BURKETT. Senator Cummins of Iowa paid a nice tribute to the work of Senator Burkett the other day on the floor of the senate, when he referred to Bur kett’s amendment to reduce the tariff on barb wire. He said: “J know the senator from Nebraska (Mr. Burkett) has rendered to the farmers of this country a conspicu ous service, and one which will be appreciated by them, in already se curing the reduction from about $5u a ton to $15 a ton. CONVENTION TIME COMING The time for bolding conventions is not far away. If the new' law Is to be obeyed the state conventions must bo held on the last Tuesday in July, to formulate state platforms. County conventions ntay be held at any time before that date, and the time is short for a call. The new law, which is printed in these columns, does not say how the delegates to the county conventions are to be selected this year. Prob ably they are to be selected by the familiar machine method, by commit teemen who were selected last year by candidates, in this case they will be pretty far removed from the peo ple. They may, however, have the political good sense to listen to the voice of the public as now being free ly expressed, and put into the plat forms definite declarations on the tariff and on temperance. It is not too early for an Immediate call by the county chairman. Dele gates should be sent to the state convention pledged to do something. So far as the republicans are concern ed, the folly of a machine convention like that of last year should be ap parent without discussion. The men who formulated the new state law showed that happy disre gard for grammar and construction that has characterized every fusion legislature. It provides that "the various political parties shall hold a [state convention,' and goes on to the | end ns if it were to be a joint con j vention, and docs not sugg<-T>i what would happen if one or more of the parties should forget to join in.

Taft lias gone carefully into the evi j deuce of the pressing need for a tariff I check on foreign cocaine, which is i secretly supplied to victims of tin deadly habit throughout this country, was announced in this city today. On this humanitarian phase of the tar iff question the president has already urged the leaders in congress to con sider tin: recommendation of Un American Health League for a pro hibition duty and internal revenue re strictions, ii is declared by leaders in the cocaine crusade in which this organization is active. Through this marked interest In the problems of the south and the wel fare of the negro race, it is reported that President Taft was first interest ed in the cause of curbing the co caine evil, The Inroads which this drug habit lias made into the centers of negro population, where the re sults of its sale for illicit use have proved as disastrous as those of al cohol. have been called to the atten tion of the chief executive of the na tion. The sad havoc that the secret circulation of eocain lias wrought and merciful uses of the surgeon, the country has also been laid before the president. In the White House as well as before members of congress the facts of the rapid spread of the illicit use of cocaine have been fully presented by representatives of this movement in which the American Health Lea gue is interested. While state laws act to confine the domestic product of the drug largely to the legitimate and merciful uses of the surgeon , doctor and dentist, it is shown, some dealers who pander to the cravings of the drug fiends are easily able to maintain secret source of supply by importation from abroad. Though co caine enough to conduct a whole op eration costs less than a cent, hun dreds of dollars worth of the drug are known to be sold each year by many of its illicit purveyors.

Since the death of Sam Jones no evangelist in the country has been so able to appeal to popular fancy and to get,such marvelous re sults. Sunday has been termed a dynamo of nervous energy; a trip-hammer of power; a consumate actor; an impassioned orator, with intellectual machinery set to a hair trigger touch. He is a man’s man—athletic, tense,—the swiftest base-runner the National League ever knew. He is expected to attract the largest crowd of the Chautauqua.
