.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.

PLANS TO CURB COCAINE EVIL
Ravages of Drug Habit Proved tc
President—Havoc Among Negroes
New York, July 10—That President
! 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.

W. A. “BILLY” SUNDAY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 27
W. A. SUNDAY
EVANGELIST
There is no greater Chautauqua attraction
in America today than ‘"Billy” Sunday.
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.
