AS TO PERSONAL LIBERTY, Pcn.snal liberty. In the widest >■< rise menus the light to do as one plena's. Law. custom and decency have imposed a great many limita tions on the right of the individual to do as lie pleases, because society has found It neci saury for its own preservation to Impose certain obli gations and duties on each of us. No one has tli rtght, il will lie freely admitted, to ray to a man that he shall not drink whatever lie pleases It is begging 'he question, that is. assuming ns true whut is not true, that whin a man opposes licensing i hi* saloon the I lie is saying to any one (hat he shall not drink beer or whiskey if he wants to All he says, and all the the News says, when it advocates tin no license polity is, thill no man l as the right to insist that tin city : hull furnish him all the facilities h> asks for the getting of that drink No man lias a word to say for tin liloon; it is a menace to every person within and without its walls, and an evil thing in any community. We don't say to any man that lie nail or shall not drink a certain bevewage or any bever age, but We do object til III. presence In our midst, I . it door to our place • of business or residence, or anywhere else witliin tile municipality, of an *vi| Inst ll lit Ion merely to afford the loan who drinks an easy and con venient way lo gratify Ills desires. Carried to its logical conclusion, the jiersonul liberty anrgimient would also mean that we should also tolerate house: el prostitution for the con venience of tin lecherous, gambling dtps for tin ph itsnr - of those who delight to game, etc. Lincoln News. • * * COUNTY OPTION.

He is rallying tie- faithful round the ‘ personal lib erty" ruse. If elected lie promises the Intelligent people ill Nebraska a wide-open state, lie is already plan ning to move the state capitol far i nough away from Lincoln so as to be free to run it after tile Omaha fashion. Dahlman is counting upon the loyal support of Nebraska’s large (ii-rman and foreign population lie has areadl.v publicly declared that southeastern Nebraska Kichardson count) would line up solid for Him. The implication is that all the Herman people of Kichardson county are beer guzzlers of the Dahlinan o,,ir,ha stripe Here Dalilman and tils ilk have reckoned without consul onng their host The good broth ien on the contrary heartily resent the Insinuation and will strike back when they have opportunity by cut !’tie Mayor Jim to a finish * * * Kails City is growing. Like a like ly kid she Is growing out of her clothes In other words her in terna! development is not keeping ptiee with her external growth. We have increased rapidly In numbers. In intelligence, in wealth, in indus tries, in area, but we have lagged in sanitation; water supply; lighting, power and beat; in paving; in the regulation of vice and In general law euforeement. These offer ns our indu'd rial and moral problems for the next year. And like sensible people let us set ourselves the task of solving them, and of solving them right To the newly elected offi cers we bring the city’s challenge to “make good.” To tho officers whose Intentions are good, and who will square themselves with the best interests of Kalla City, we pledge our hearty support, but for the Nime-Hcrvera and grafters we will leave no stone unturned to drive them to cover. * » *’ We bidicve in granting to the brethren elected a "square deal."

The Tribune is Just old-fash ioned enough to believe that the acts and proceedings of Falls City for 11*10 will work a new era in the history of the city. Knowledge vs. Diplomas, j The Falls City High School stu dents and their friends have watched with much interest the attack that Rev l.udden of the State Normal board made on Earl Cline, ’05. prin cipal of the High School at Sidney, .Nebraska. Bet auso Earl request etl some of tin' members of the Peru Alumni Association, of which Karl is president, to write to two mem bers of the board commending thorn for their stand for the retention of Crabtree as president of the Normal, the Reverend Mr. l.udden of tills board look it upon himself to write Karl a threatening letter, intimating that the Normal board would revoke his diploma for his efforts in behalf of Crabtree. To this. Cline wrote a defiant reply, daring them to re voke his diploma. This the Normal ■•oil' d hits not done and probably w ill not for l.udden now sees the folly and indiscretion of his course. Even though they threatened to take away hts diploma. Cline stood by his guns and kept up tlie fight. Earl is a ready debater, a good writer and scholar, and well liked by all school men and other gentle men over the state. Ludden being a weak politician, and knowing this, when he found he could not bull doze Cline, dropped the matter. Iiut even if Cline's diploma had been re voked, what difference would it make A diploma is just a little insignifi cant paper that you get for paying a few dollars, which says you have fin ished the course allotted to you. It is knowledge, not the diploma that lias value.—Orange and Black. —We have seme fresh Red Seai flour in now. Come and get a sack. —C. A. Heck. HIGH SCHOOL VIEWS. National Topics Ably Discussed Through The Orange and Black Lly I.BON NORRIS. The most sensational and tmport tant thing that has happened in Wash ington during the past month was the disclosure on the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate in Alaska. These were stumbled onto accidently, it seems V bill was brought up to re-organize thi government of Alaska, but it was very bitterly opposed by many, .lust about this time some new actors ap peared on the stnge in the persons of Stephen Hirch and John N. Steele, the lawyers for the- Syndicate. They denied that the bill would help them "grab" Alaska, but afterwards stat ed that there arc 50,000,000 tons of mineable coal on the elnim and that $200,000,0110 profit may be made by working out the field. \ll the little boys, young men, mid dle aged men and old men of the Hutted States now know that the year of loin has really started. Some few men have met and drawn up the plans of a lengthy campaign. This is to consist of one hundred and fif ty four battles (in April 14 in most c-very big city in the country, the old and young will lay aside business -ares and make a rush for the- base ball diamond The American and National le agues drew up a schedule and the former elected Han Johnson president for t wj-nty-five years at a salary of $25,000 a year. Thi Western 1'niou Telegraph Co. has originated a new form of ser vice, which is a combination of the telephone, telegraph and mail. A fif ty word message may be telephoned to the telegraph at night and this will he telegraphed directly to its destination and will be delivered with the first mail in the morning. This provides ;i very much cheaper form of transmission of messages and also proves tin' statement that the tide phone and telegraph should he used together. A man by the name of Stark, but who was born in London has told us some alleged truths about our fore fathers. which deal a very severe blow to the foundation of our govern ment. He says that Samuel Adams was a grafter, who defaulted while ln> wtts tax collector in Boston. Al so John llaueoek was a smuggler, and more than thilt, lie took money front Harvard College while he was treasurer. He tells us that it would not do at all to repeat Patrick Henry's dime. But the worst was to tell us that Benjamin Franklin was a robber of the mails. .Mr. Stark thinks we made a serious mistake in trust ing the affairs of the colonies to such men as these liis statements, however, will not he believed by must people, and if they were, they would not cause anybody any worry. The enemies of the lords in IJng liiiul have demanded that Asquith get tlie king to guarantee support to the new polity of naming the lords. The new commons will pass meas ures to that effect and when the lords reject them, the king is to create enough new liberal peers to overpower the large tory majority. Asquith would not ask the king for the guarantee, but the Irish, under John Itedmoud said they would not vote with the government unless the reform of the lords was first on the program, and at last Asquith agreed. A measure will be passed by the commons and taken up to the lords. When they Reject it Asquith will ask tile king to create enough peers to pass the measure. If lie refuses, tile government will resign and a new elec! Ion w ill be held. Now since the flood .water is al most all (uit of the streets of Paris, the Frenchmen have turned to a new kind of a theatrical performance. This is tin1 diama. "Chanticleer" in which no human characters appear. The actors are fowls and animals and the parts are suited as far as possible to tlu> nature of the beasts. "Chan ticleer," the leading character, gets up and hails the sun in the morning with a hymn. Then the black bird, who is jealous of “Chanticleer” starts in with puns. The play is soon to bo brought to America and we will gi I to see how we like the barnyard style of a play. FINAL CLASS GAME. This Senior Boys and Sophomore Girls Victorious. The final class games were pulled off at. the gym, March I, lit 10, be tween the Junior and Senior Boys, and the Sophomore and Freshman girls. The first half of the boys game was exceedingly interesting and close, the seore resulting in 12 to 10 in favor of the Seniors. The Juniors had a crippled team, as one of their very best players was unable to play, but they resolved to play the game anyway, and they worked very hard. *j The girls game was not at all Interesting as the Sophomores had the ball all the time and would take it down the field and put in a basket before the Freshmen ever touched it. The Sophomores have a very strong team and when you take >nto con sideration they have three of the first teams goal throwers, you do not wonder at tin' score. The Freshmen are entitled to praise for they did defeat the Juniors by two whole points. Tills is the second year tile Soph omores have held the pennant and they are expecting to win it the next year. Let us hope that they don't. Orange and Black. _l_ Road to Success. Eminent alienists, the world over, point to the fact that it is the "spec ialist," the one-idea individual, who develops "rats in his garret,"—who "goes bughouse." Hut according to a talk recently given to the High School students, by Professor Itoen shel, the art of -concentrating the mind on“one thing,and on one thing only” is to be commended and at tained. Following is an account of the professor's talk, culled from the Orange and Mack, and is interest ing on account of its oddity only: Recently, Professor Hoonshel gave a talk to the High School that will long lit* remembered. Not often in our High School life do we have the privilege of listening to as interest ing and inspiring an address. Every word, from beginning to end, was helpful advice. Truths were pre sented in a new light, the most con vincing of which was his presenta tion of tli" results of cultivating the ability of concentrating one's mind. I have been working all my life," said lie, "toward one end—-that of being aide to concentrate my mind on one tiling,ami r.n one thing only. When 1 have succeeded, I will con sider myself a success." lie also touched oil the value of an education. "One man dot s about as much think ing as another." he said; "the dif ference is in the quality of the thoughts, and the quality depends* on education.” After listening to Mr. Hoonshel for almost an hour the students were indeed sorry to have him close.

WARREN TOPPAN, Lynn,Mass. | Cured of severe compound cold and cough by I YrnbS 7 “Fro n Dec. 20. '08, to Atarch I. ’09. / I had three bad colds, one on tup of the other. I got so weak I could hardly get around. Nothing seemed to help me until I began to take Vinol. The change was magic. Three bottles com pletely fixed that compound cold and r stopped the terrible cough—and what surprises me most, at the same time it cured me of a severe stomach trouble that has bothered me for 20 \ears. Vlnol is certainly a wonderful medicine. Mr. Toppan is one of Lynn’s most prominent an J highly re-pcctc I merchants, whose word is as good as his bond. The reason Vinol is so successful in such cas* s is because it contains the two most world-famed tonics—the medic inal. strength enrngTDody-builcfin^'elements of Tod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.
