Deplorable as such affairs art* we do not wonder at their occurrence we rather wonder that there are in few personal encounters at present, considering the mixed classed Juinb led together in the different lodging houses in the most reckless and in «H« rlminatiiig way. The fact that Kails City is so quiet and orderly Just now. if largely due to the fact that everybody is Kept busy on the works mid get ample opportunity to work off his risibilities. Furthermore Dig Chief Mutts is careful to pilot any w ho si w inclination to balk or shirk to the . ity gates and give them a free pass towards the s; tting sun • * * It is rep ti .1 on pood authority that C.i i thud to Is* the next tun. el Fa 's City it; a young nan.

It’s a big spot and get ting bigger. People h< re of Falls City front afar and look up and won-1 dor. The great railroad magnates ore gambling in New York for con-! trol in the new line from Nebraska to the gulf line. It looks now as though the Standard Oil interests would win out, and John D. Rockefel ler undertake the promotion of this great from Falls City to the Gulf enterprise, ity the time the great Panama Canal is opened for traffic this shortest cut to the sea will al so be ready to carry the immense quantities of stock and grain to the coast, there to be taken abroad huge ocean liners ami carric d to every quarter of the globe. * * * The council of Seattle, Washington i» a chivalrous body. When Wash ington adopted the constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote, the Seattle council at onco set down making arrangements fbr the comfort of the women at the polling places. Among other things smoking was prohibited. These west ern law makers may at times appear in public with top boots, but they 1 know how to be court toils anti con siderate. Will Kansas authorities show themselves us kindly nad as thoughtfully disposed. Such a touch of real old time chivalry is en couraging to say the hast, in our so called selfish and sordid age. Voting men who ungullantly and vul-i gurly abuse the simplest rule s of propriety and good breeding can b arn a lesson from the coast. * » fe It is generally admitted that the city’s present utilities plant is at | the very best, entirely equal to the supplying Fails City with sufficient light and water. This is casting reflection upon the plant ns it is. The point aimed at, is that Falls City is growing and will very soon have outstripped’ the ability of the present plant to meet Its needs. Can wo wisely defer the discussion of tills fact until we are up against the necessity of doing something, and doing it quickly. A great deal of] dirt lit) been kicked up on account of tills subject in the past, and the prob-j abilities are that much of the fault is to be laid at the door of hasty act-j ion Why not take up these prob lems and deal with them while we can do so with decision.

On request, prize winner must for ward a sample of ten ears of corn grown to W. it. Mellor, Sec., IJncoln. m * m Vice President Sherman decided three tie votes in tlie senate within a half hour. The history of the sen ale does not disclose the fact that any vice president, during the last half ceutuiy at least, ever was call ed upon three times to east the deriding vote in that body. That lie should enjoy this privilege with in the i.licit space of half an hour in cue eventful day is without par rullol. Through one of the vice president’s \oiis the senate pa s d he ship subsidy bill. This was. the ■ list tbr.e the 'ire president has t. ! a vote since January 1X99, chon a tie vo'.e was cast on the rcso . on os’ s nator 1 aroa declaring it i be th<* pulley of ih' United States t to r liu the Philippines per il,,i.\ and a.u ouj -m, it to he !. pi. i; i..

We me jt nt in min t of a lel ucr fiom our good friend, ,1. O. Shroytr, farmer and Journalist of Humboldt. lie has lookoed over the issues (.f the Daily Tribune and feci, asstited cl tlie sue cts of an effort along this line. “if Falls City has a daily, it ought to be the best be tween Lincoln and St. Joe. In fact there is nothing to hinder it from I !• ing better than either city af ] fords." Wo appreciate Tiro. Shtoy er’s encouraging words. Now, if our friends will all lend us their support, the thing will soon be a j nalitv. There is no reason why Falls City should not have a first class daily, an honor to the town and a source of strength to the com ! munity. The Daily Tribune offers' the opportunity. It remains for everyone interested in the present progress of tilings local, to do his part. The publlshere can only do a fraction of work that goes with successful paper building. Much re mains for the public to do. Everything is quiet in Falls City just now. Not a stir in the1 political atmosphere, to indicate that' wo are on the eve of one or tlie most ! important municipal elections ever held in Falls City. is it the lull that so often comes before the storm. In that case something signi ficant is brewing. It is to be hoped that sober, counsel - will prevail among the leaders upon whose shoul ders rests the heavy task of carry ing out the election plans. There ire three possibilities before the peo ple; one is to have a wide open own; the other is to put the lid on tight and sit down on it; and the third is a medium policy upon which both sides by being reasonable and by yielding the more radical differ ences can unite. This paper pleads for uniting even thbugh wo must sacrifice pet measures. The situation has two sides. The rights and in i'rests ef each should be consulted. We cnnnet for a moment sanction the riding rough shod over the will of cither side. We hope to be' broad enough to ploy fair. It is a time when wise counsel is precious. Level beaded men,who have influence j and whose advice has weight have a i duty to speak out and give direction to public, opinion. Laying low docs not and will not solve the big prob lems before Falls City bis spring. * * * "Sunshine, quiet, and wholesome food,' are the three things which the now aged Dr. Galton named as his choke recreations. Ideal, not a bit cd it. A k the boy, let loose for a good time. Does he want quiet, not likely, or wholesome food, just ask him. He will not object to the sunshine, but it is not sunshine lie is out fur. its tin’ so called good tlun--really a fools time. Dr, (Jni ton has grown wise by yiars. He chose bn* 1c necessities, not foolish diversions upon which to hang the fabric of enjoyment. Anil bo was light. The folly of the average plea ure sicker is only equaled by the stupidity of bis chase after elusive enjoyment. Knjoytuent is not found in artificial t-.itcim lit and dissipa tion, enjoyment that is worth the name is realized in that satisfaction that satisfies. M * * The “kicker" may be a necessary factor of society as it exists, but lie cannot be a happy member. There are excrescences upon the soc ial fabric that are a menace anti that are so constituted that they will only respond to a kick savagely administered, ilia job is like that of i he hangman’s, a bootless one. T'lt e is little profit in knocking down things and men unless you art* in position, to fill their places with that which works an improvement. Kalis City can gain nothing from any spasmotic effort at driving out existing evils unless, she is pre pared to put something better to replace v.hat lias been done away wl* Always give me a bad men, in pref erence to none. The biggest danger before us is, .the cultivation of that type of Pharisaic goodness, that eventuates in our being so good that coed to wash their hands of any further concern about it, except pos sibly to kick if tilings do not pro ceed precisely to their liking. No more vicious idea could prevail. With tiie election of a new administration, the individual citizens responsibility only fairly begins. An officer is the tool of bis constitm ncy and can only act with power and effect* when supported and abetted by the peo ple. The fact that Americans so larp ly ignore all responsibility in government, is chiefly responsible for the wrt tched bungle that is the present experience of our cities in self government. « • • A t. tu,.rkable discovi rj has recent boon made, it is no less a wonder titan that Ncbtaska is not "holly an agricultural state, but ill it also has ii.it deposits of initi al.a .\ braska has minerals and .iltiie sac may net bid for front rank as it mining state, she lifts large stores of useful materials stow 'd away beneath for fertile reaches itf farm land. One of the recent additions to her mineral wealth is Iho discovery of cement rock in val uable beds. The pumice beds of Ne braska have provided one of the fittest scouring compounds known to the trade for years. Our rivers furnish a high grade of scoured sand and gravel for concrete work, clay, of the finest quality, is stored away in great beds awaiting the skill and industry of man to turn it to use and account. Building rock, ballust rock, especially limestone rock, is found in stores in many parts of the state. Sonic coal has been discov ered. Oil. gas etc. may yet be dis covered. Richardson county is well! rep’-ost nted in this category. Th ■ day will come when, the deposits of j clay, building stone and liino stone will offer work for many busy work men At present we look upon them as waste products, worthless, even. Our children will have learned better before their day has passed. * * * MESSAGE ON RECIPROCITY In his message on reciprocity, Pres ident Taft said: “Reciprocity with Canada must necessarily bo chiefly confined in its effect on the cost ■T living to food ?nd forest products The question of the cost of clothing as affected by the duty within the scope of the agreement on textiles and their raw materials, so much mooted, is not within the scope of an agreement with Canada, because phe raises comparatively few wool p’lit i p, and her texile manufacturers are unimportant.” "The free list Includes: Live ani mals, poultry, wheat, rye, eats bar ley, corn, hay, cowpeas, fresh vege tables dried fruits, dairy products, c-gs, honey, seeds, fish, salt, timb er and sawed boards, railroad ties, telephone, telegraph, trolley and electric light poies, pickets and pal ings. asbestos, carbon electrodes, cream separators, barbed fencing wire and coke. Cutlery is reduced from 40 per cent to 27 per cent: Sweetened biscuit worth more titan fifteen cents a pound, from 50 to 25 per cent; con fectionery from 50 to 33 per cent, iron ore from 15 to 10 cents a ton. Finished lumber is admitted at a duty of 50c a thousand feet when fin ished on one side; 75c when fin ished on two sides, and $1.50 when finished on four sides. These rates are $1.25 lower than those of the Payne-Aldrich Law. Wheat flour, now 25 per cent ad valorem, is made .iffy cents a barrel, or about 10 per cent ad valorem. Motor vehicles are reduce d from 45 to 30 per cent. AT The Grand TO-NIGHT “Jiis Trust Fulfilled” 'Fills is a beautiful biograph)’.
