Talking about advertising to a
group of fellow exports, Colliers,
quotes Mr. Vi, T. Krisble as saying,
•'Be not misled by circulation claims,
but put your trust in the vigorous
character of the publication that lias
a policy and stands lor something
not your policy, perhaps, but nevcrtbe
less an earnest appeal to a living
constituency." In other words an
intelligent reader becomes a discrimi
nating buyer. The man or woman
who reads indifferently is not to In'
recommended as a desirable customer
to whom to appeal for trade.
Progressive republicans at Washing
ton have organized what promises to
become an organization of great sig
nifiennee in national politics. It is
The Notional League of Progressive
Republicans. The avowed purpose of
the League is not to form a new par
ty but to popularize government. In
other words to place the reins of
government in the hands of the peo
ple where it rightfully belongs. That
the gentlemen at the head of the
League have undt rtakon a big prop
osition, we must admit. Nevertheless
It. is one that should Interest every
freeholder'in America at Ibis time.
Never before in the history of our

available room any where but it is
at oneo sought after by snores of ap
plicants. The ilemnnml upon the ho

so great as to compel those institu
tions to raise the already high price
of hoard and lodging. In many
rooms the beds are worked double

With the coming of thi Division
and tin' arrival of the workmen and
their families arises a new problem
for the in ople of Falls City. The
liappi st results can only be at hieved
by the complete assimilation of the
new-comers into onr social and civic
organizations. One of the threatening
dangers now confronting us is the
possibility of a north and south side.
While Geographically this must nec
essarily be so, it will be a misfortune
if it should finally become so socially
and economically. We do not want a
north end and a south end. each
with its local interests and prejudices,
but one Falls City, united and harmo
nious. This i an be most effectively
accomplished by making our new cit
izens feel at home In our midst.
The list of those signing for a
"Boosters Club" lias already grown to
liberal dimensions. Now, to get to
gether and work out the idea in act
ual practice. The scheme is a good
one. If it is properly launched and
capably officered and then pushed ag
gressively and persistently, it is
bound to become a source of much
advantage to Falls City and her in
dustries The art of "Boosting" home
Industries though perfectly legitimate
is almost entirely neglected, or if
it is attempted at all it is done in
too indifferc nt a manner to lie effec
tive Therefore a strong organization
is greatly to be desired, that lias for
its object the advertising of home in
dustries and local oportunlties. If
we wish to win recognition from
the world at large we must challenge
he attenion of the public by pushing
aurselves and what we have that is
worth while upon the notice of others.
This calls for agitation of a live and
' i
get there sort. The passing of reso
lutions and the blowing off of certain
measures of hot air will not ac
complish it.
An incident like the one Tuesday
night, when all unttexportedly the
electric current failed and the lights
went out, leaving the town in dark
ness, tends to awaken a sense of our
dependence upon the (are and skill
of others. It also helps materially to
increase our appreciation of things
which because of their very common
ness w<> are wont to regard tus a
matter of course, It la remarkable
to what an extent we are at the mer
cy of our systems. A broken wheel,
a slipping belt, or a loose connection
and a whole town is suddenly left in
darkness, or in any one of a score of
predicaments, equally awkward and
disconcerting. Such an experience
helps to emphasize the I rut li that,"No
man lives unto himself," hut we are
all dependent upon one another. One
man's mistake may endanger the lives
of scores of others. When we stop
and think along this line it helps ns
to appreciate the meaning of our res
ponsibilities. Our work nitty In it
self seem trivial and of little or no
consequence. Hut when we coins 1o
think how many people may be put to
inconvenience and actual discomfort
and loss through our neglect of that
particular work it is different. The
man who is faithful in the fulfillment
of the humblest duty should hold the
regard of all. lie is a benefactor

insist that tile present short session
will lie adequate for the passing of
all needed legislation at this time.
As for the purely controversial bills
now up for consideration, tile country
will not suffer seriously if they re
main on the docket for another term.
Uotreiuhnienl is the watchword, and
there is no place where our legisln

matter to so good effect, as by enttin;

The Mayor’s banquet to the Divis
ion people at ilie National, Saturday
night was a success in every way,
and will go a long ways to establish
the cordial and mutual relations j
that mean so much for the future wel j
fare of Falls City. Tho very large i
number, both of c itizens and It. II. I
employes, "ho attended, showed at
once the wide interest in the effort to
establish cordial relations one with
the other. Now that we have pledg
ed ourselves to make those people,
feel at home, it is up to us because
of tho limited homing facilities at
j
the city’s disposal to freely open
our doors and take them into our j
own homes until adequate housing j

The immigration problem is one oU
the most difficult that confronts the
United States. There is no question
but that, we have need of the desira
ble foreigner, nut how to discrimi
nate between the desirable and the
undesirables is a problem tlmt seems
to queer the goverment and its offi
cials. Canada lias taken an advanced
position by frankly declaring that she
has need of certain people and that
such as conform to her requirements
will be welcomed, and others not.
Canada has vast agricultural regions
in the great North-west which site
is anxious to have settled. The prov
incial govermet is encouraging settle
ment in these regions in every way
possible. Sin- is using the immigra
tion bureau to assist in this great
and laudable work. Immigrants who
will go to the “Great Nortli-west”
and homestead farms are sought for
and encouraged to come to Canada.
While that class that is inclined to
congregate in the larger cities and he .
come a menace and a burden is svs-;
teniatlcally discouraged. Uncle Sam
might learn from his northern neigh
bor and go and do likewise. The
i
west could accomodate many more
home seekers than are now seeking
for these ai comodations. Nebraska
could to good advantage accomodate
many thousand such families, other
state s could find convenient places
for many families to good advantage.
Out in the open country their chlldre
would develop into useful citizens in
stead of becoming a menace to socie
ty and good government

THE DARK AND BRIGHT SIDE
When we read of the rascalities of
the large insurance companies of the
unspeakable frauds of the sugar trust,
of tlit* political ttirruption in Illinois
and some other states, and the ap
parent unwillingness that, was mani
fested by menibrt s of the senate to
investigate, much less rebuke, corrup
tion like this, especially when it af
fects one of their own number; when
wo read of farmers of one county in
Ohio by hundreds confessing that for
years they have been selling their
votes for cash, when we read of these
and numerous other things which we
need not mention, but which will oc
cur to the reader, we are sometimes
disposed to look upon government hv
the people as a failure.
There is however another and a
brighter side. It is no little tiling an
gives no small ground for hope, when
we see papers and magazines cour
ageously exposing these rascalities
and infamies. Nor is it a less ground
for hope when wo see prison doors
closing b' hind these offenders; when
wo soo moil in high places, closely af
filiated with "big business," retired
to private life and to oblivion; when
we see men who are most active in
standing for the people honored as
few men have ever been honored be
fore; when we see the people defeat
ignominiously men who have been th
leaders in their party for years, the
support of which has for forty years
been a religion, when we see these
things we can take courage, realizing
that at bottom the American people
Lire honest; that while there may be
twigs ami large litnbs of the tree de
caying and therefore dropped, none
tlie less the heart is sound.
There is more encouragement now
than ever for good men to stand by
tln> men who do right, who are doing
in the United States what the old
prophets did in Israel, who are receiv
ing reward in stones while living and
over whose graves we will shed t< ars
and erect costly monuments. There

We Need to Have One
Million Men to De
fend Our Coasts.
Large •
Standing
Army
Urgent.
We Are
Not
Ready
For War.
rty General I KEDEKICK DENT GRANT, Commander of the Department of the hast.
IT IS TRUE THAT OUR
COUNTRY IS NOT PRE
PARED FOR WAR. WE
NEED TO HAVE A MILLION MEN
TO DEFEND OUR COASTS. WE
NEED A LARGER STANDING
ARMY. I DON’T ASSUME TO
LOOK AHEAD TO THE POSSI
BILITIES OF WAR, BUT I THINK
IT IS WISE FOR US TO BE
READY FOR IT.
War is a gamble, isn’t it i We
might lick the enemy by training
our guns on it from the fort, and,
then again—well, what’s the use
of speculating? I’m not afraid of
any one getting the best of us.
lint I do sav that we OUGHT
TO GET OURSELVES READY.
It is useless to say that we are
in shape to go into a desperate
fight as we stand right now. We
are not. We NEED MORE MEN
TO DEFEND OUR COASTS.
Secretary of War Dickinson says
wo want 900,000 men, while there
are only 111,000 available. 1 am
not disputing the secretary’s word,
but I have figured it out that we
NEED A ROUND MILLION. It
is certain that we have not nearly
enough TRAINED M EN in read
iness.
Suppose there should come a
war with a powerful nation.
What would the United States do?
It would have to hurry up and
draft some 000,000 men to de
fend its coasts, that’s what. Prop
erly to equip those men would
take weeks. Guns cannot be made
as they were made in the old
days. It takes more time, for they
arc better guns that we use now.
The whole army equipment would
have to be RUSHED, and it
would be impossible to do it in
time to CHECK THE AD
VANCES OF THE ENEMY.
IT IS NOT HARD ROUGHLY TO
CALCULATE WHAT MIGHT HAP- j
PEN IF OUR ATLANTIC SEA- ;
BOARD WFRE ATTACKED. WE i
HAVE NOT ENOUGH MEN TO |
PROTECT IT. THE SAME IS TRUE
OF THE PACIFIC. IT TAKES |
TROOPS TO MAN THE FORTS.

3 Let the gate be on the other side and let them
knock, and it they say that they want to come in to
this country to do a certain work let us look at the j
map and see WHERE THAT PARTICULAR KIND OF WORK
IS NEEDED.
If the knocker says ho can dig, all well and good; let us send him I
somewhere that a DIGGER is needed. Rut, on the other hand, if he
says he can write in a ledger, let us say to him no, WE HAVE i

When I was abroad and witnessed as in one particular case the
fruits of one tenant fanner's toil- namely, a bag of wheat, which was
his SHARE OF A LEAR'S WORK—my heart cried out:
“Open the gates and let them in.”
Hut when 1 was on this side of the water and considered the oaso
of the murder of Potrosini and thought of the supineness of the Sicil
ians, the connivance and weakness behind the act, an act which baf
fled the police of two continents to discover the perpetrators, then my
heart crieil out to CLOSE THE GATES.
“You Can Write History
of World In Terms
of Commerce.”
By Dr. NICHOLAS Milk LAY BUTLER, President of Columbia University.
ITIIOUT civilization we would have no com
merce. but it is also true that WITHOUT
■ COMMERCE WE WOULD HAVE NO
T CIVILIZATION, for a man has to be able to live
' to have time for the things which we measure civili
zation by. I have no patience with the man who
L puts commerce ON A LOWER GRADE than those I
I other things which we call civilization, and 1 say
f that every one of us is engaged in advancing it.
No one need be ashamed of the stone he car
rios to nut into the srront structure we call civiliza- !
tion just, because it’s put in the cellar or because some one else carries ;
a bigger or better stone or more beautiful stone.
YOU CAN WRITE THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TERMS OF
COMMERCE, YOU CAN EXFLAIN WHY GREAT MASSES OF PEOPLE
MOVED ACROSS THE EARTH, WHY THEY STAYED STILL. WHY
THEY FOUGHT, AND YOU CAN EXPLAIN NINE-TENTHS OF THE
PUSHING, MOVING FORCLS OF THE WORLD IF YOU STUDY THEM
IN TERMS OF COMMERCE.

The man who does his best seldom
has to look for a job.
Many a man’s success is due to the
fact that he went ahead first and
made it right afterwards.
The race for wealth ends at the
cemetery.
It takes a hardship a long time to
sail out of sight.
The knocker usually gets his when
tlie hammer rebounds.
Work is about the best rest cure
that has yet been discovered.
A superior manner is one thing.
A superior person is another.
It’s about time to count up the
things you have to be thankful for.
