We’ve got the governor.

T*e Omaha red light district gave

The democrats of Nebraska have

4*fe«,t of their gubernatorial candidate

Now that the election Is over and
a normal condition prevails, lets build
sow houses to accommodate the new
people coming to town who cannot be
housed
Aldrich's victory Is a distinct victo
ry for reform. It amounts to a doela
, ration on the part of the Intelligent
citizenship of the state in favor of
county option and the suppression of
brewery domination.

Duhlman made his appeal to the
lower element and to tho foreigners.
In the first he was successful but not
ia the second, as the Dane and Ger
man sections of Nebraska did not by
any means go solidly for him as he
had so fondly anticipated. They de
i eorve great criMlit for their support
*t the moral Issue.

The general results of the election,
Tuesday are clearly a protest against
larlf revision that did not revise and
the attitude of the reactionaries gen
erally. When the people speak even
tho bosses sit up and take notice. It
is to bo hoped that tills so called
spanking given the rapublicnn party
will have a salutor.v effect.

The persistent effort on the part of
Prof. Wood and others to provide tin
entertainment course for Falls City
is praisworthy and merits the hearty
support and patronage of every citi
zen. A town the size of ours can eas
ily support a course that will not only
be a source of wholesome entertain
ment hut be of real service and an
honor to the town. It is to be hoped
that the first number of this course
will receive the patronage it deserves.
Join the ranks of the home boos
ters. Lend a hand in the effort to
preach the gospel of “back to the
old home". It's a good place to be
Our prize contest, now starting will
help to get the facts before the peo
ple. ' Will you give your support and
encouragement to this effort to get
for Riehardson county the recognition
she deserves. The Tribune can ac
complish very little without the good
will and support of the people general
ly.

- Not in years, if ever before has
such a dirty campaign been waged in
the state of Nebraska. Never was
mud-slinging carried to such an ex
tent. Never lias there been such a
hand to hand fight between the more
m
intelligent classes nad the illiterate
and lawless class. The democratic
victory cannot be pointed to with
pride this year; it has been bought
at too high a price morally speakfng.
But after all, the majority of thinking
people were not ready to put at the
head of the state a rnanwho boasted
of his immorality.

NO SMOKING.
The Metropolitan Street Railway
Company which controls the street
cars of Kansas City, has issued an
ordi r, that after November 1st no
smoking will be allowed in the cars
of litis company. All cars are carry
ing “No Smoking in This Car" signs
since Monday of last week, and all
conductors have received rigid in
structions to see that the order is
obeyed. The new order will be hail
ed with Joy by thousands of passen
gers. The prohibition of the smoke
nuisance In public places, especially
in places where women and children
congregate is one of the signs that
speak eloquently of better tilings
That smoking blunts ones sense of
regard for the rights and comforts
of others is constantly illustrated by
the manner in which smokers disre
gard every rule of common decency
In the gratification of this filthy
habit. It does not enter their fal
lowed faculties, that non-smokers
may not enjoy the odor and stench
of tobacco fumes. They cannot real
ize that the smell of tobeaco smoke
causes actual distress to thousands
of people. My mother always be
came violently sick when compelled
to Inhale only a small amount of to
bacco smoke, and would suffer acute
misery for hours. As for myself, 1
have never been able to reconcile my
feelings and sense of the fitness of
things to this useless and vulgar hab
it, and suffer acutely whenever com
pelled to be in company with one who
abus<« the finer sense of fellowship
by afflicting his companions In order
to gratify a vile taste.

ABOUT CIGARETTES.
The anti-cigarette laws of Nebras
ka are extremely severe. Any per
son giving to a minor the “makings”
is liable to severe penalties if arrang
ed. Soon after the opening of school
this fall the boys might have been
seen amusing themselves by rolling
slips of paper into a bell shaped
form and after inserting a pin In
the taporlng end, casting the contriv
ance, spear fashion at the boy or
girl nearest him, the idea being to
stick the curiously shaped' ‘"affair in
to the others clothing. Ifpon Inves
tigation it was found that the slips of
paper used were cigarette slips, and
obtained freely by the hoys from deal
era In Kalla City. They were furnish
ed fr<K-, obviously by providing a
novel diversion for the boys to get
them to use them largely and thus
familiarize them with the “makings”
of the cigarette, and lead them to
acquire a taste for tobacco. In the
rolling of the tubes it was necessary
to wet the one end of t.he paper. The
paper wns heavily scented with tobac
co, thus giving him a taste of tobacco
and the smell every time he put a
slip to his lips. Kor it week or more
the practice was almost universal
among the smaller hoys. The
scheme was devilish in the extreme,
and clearly against thelaw.
We are glad to call attention again
to tin' fact that the evil has been
suppressed for time being. But, wo
would urge upon the proper authorit
ies the need of watchfulness. Hoys
are still getting and smoking cigar
etts. The practice should be broken
up. This will be difficult, I admit..
But our boys should be saved from
this blight.

WE GET ALDRICH.

Both The County and State Go Dem
ocratic. Hope for Lieutenant
Governor and Sec. of State
The only decided victory for the
! i t p tolican party is the election of
Governor. Aldrich's majority over
| Dahlman is at least 12,000. The
state ticket is otherwise democratic,
though today, Thursday, there is still
ih»‘ belief that we may get the lteu
I tenant governor and state treasurer,
at best these candidates will run
very close.
The county is entirely democratic.
! The fact remains however that the
democrat gain has been made only by
booze dominated districts and in the
out laying and less enlightened dis
j tricts. The democratic ticket lost
, some in wards and previncts where
the law-abiding and moral citizens
held their homes above the head of th
party ticket. Where the vote could
be swayed by booze or a bid for law
lessness there was a decidedgain.
There has bee na lesson too in
the defeat. Yet in the defeat we
see victory, for the state has stood
for principal and a careful canvas of
the county precincts and our city
shows that the better element will
not be dominated very much longer
by the liquor traffic. Whenever it
j comes to carrying an election on thesi
j lines you will find there will be a
j strong rally to the front. Though we
I lose the county and state ticket we
i are proud of the fact thatold Nebrask
! ka has repudiated brewery ruje.
A PLEA FOR HOME INDUSTRY.
$250,000 Go Out of Richardson Count
Every Year, To Our Loss.
—
Brown County, Kansas has often j
been spoken of as the garden spot of j
America. Richardson County, Nebras
ka is a very close neighbor. The ma
Jorlty of the jmople residing in Rich
ardson county, fail utterly to realize
that they are living in one of the
most favored spots in the whole
country. One cause for this lack of
appreciation lies in the natural dis
position of host people to take the |
advantages to be found In their envir
onment as a matter of course and to
seriously consider only the disadvan
tages and obJ(>ctionable features. An
other cause is to be found in the
hlatory of Rtchardson County. Con
ditions were not always so well ftavor
ed. The time la not long past When
the grasshopper waa a burden and
the hot winds burnt up what had
escaped the grasshopper. It was a
time that tried the courage o$ our
pioneer fathers. Things have chang
ed slowly.' So slowly
pie scarcely noted I
chntigh. Our harvests are not ' only
good, but we might almost add,5(they
never fail. The climate and soil
are favorable to the successful culti
vation of a very wide range of farm
products. Our markets are good and
becoming better each year. Prices
are higher. The climate is not only
agreeable the year round but it is
remarkably healthful and bracing.
Hut all this is an old story to most
of our people. They have forgotten
the past and seeing only the disad
vantages of the present conditions,
they are able to find serious fault
with one of the most favored spots
in all of God's creation. Hut there
remains another course that inclines
many to fin dfault with RichorilHon
county, and i nonly too many i$$tan
oes to sell their holdings here ij and
seek a more favorable place to pive.
It is the Real Estate agents, who
have interests in other parts Of the
country, paint the* good points1 of
those new sections in such gl^iviiig
colors, that many of our people Hitch
the infection, become restive an® fall
out entirely with grand old Rich^dsoi
county, si'll out and move away,|nec
essarily to till' loss of tlie county
I
because they take with them the ao
cmiHilationa of many years.
Every year our county is robbed of
hundreds of thousands of dollars by
persons becoming dissatisfied move
away taking the wealth they accumu
lated in the county and investing it
elsewhere. This is a serious loss to
the county. And some effort ought
to be put forth to discourage the
evil. We need our capital at home
for the explotlng of home industries.
Richardson county has wrapped up
within her environs undreamed of
possibilities. What is needed is cap
ital to finance the development of
home, industries.
We are investing our capital too
largely outside of the county and de
pending too largely upon outside
sources for many of our needs. Home
industries would provide a larger and
more varied home market for the pro
ducts of our farms. This in turn
will encourage farmers to raise a
greater variety of products, a thing
for which Richardson county is pecu
liarly suited and which would soon re
sult in increased farm values, a
breaking up of the large farms be
cause of the necessity and demand
for more intensive farming. Our pop
ulation would double and trebble and
our wealth be immensely increased.
There is one way by which this
disposition to invest outside the
county might be greatly modified. It.
is by showing the people the excel
lencies of the county. Instead of
finding fault let us begin to seek out
the good points and hold them up
for every one to look at. It is
the purpose of The Tribune to begin
a vigorous publicity campaign at once
We urge every resident of the coun
ty who lias the Larger Richardson
county at heart, to help us in the
effort. We want to know the good
points in order that we may publish
them and bring before our people a
clear an dforeible statement of the
facts as they relate to the future of
this county.
