Historical Group Hears of Street Railway Lines The meeting of the Cass County Historical society, held Wednesday noon at the main dining room of the Rainey cafe, was enioyed by a pleasing group of the residents of the community to hear a most in teresting story on. "Early Street Railway Systems of Platts mouth." The meeting was presided over by Dr. G. H. Gilmore. of Murray-,, president of the Cass county society. Everyone present felt very appreciative of the fact that T. H. Pollock, a resident of Platts mouth from his young child hood, was the main speaker and related many interesting stories of the period from the ; middle eighties to the early nineties. It was in this period . that the street cars came to j piattsmouth, first the horse drawn cars, then later the elec tric street cars. This city had one of the first electric lines in Nebraska that served for years the community as a means of transportation. The power house, a large two story brick building, stood on Oak street two blocks east of the present Oak Hill cemetery, where the car barns as well at the power plant being located. The lines ran east along Oak street with a line that carried over to north Sixth street, thence to Main street Tt was an nnrpr- tain line as the old time papers relate, and out of commission At that time there was a great boom in the west part of the city and O. H. Ballou. of Omaha, had laid out a section of the city where many new houses were built, and bid fair to be a rival for the main part I of the city.

In this same period of time, the main part of the city along Main and Sixth streets were be ing paved, with the heavy gran ite block, and the city sewer system in the business part of town was getting under way. There were many in the audi ence that recalled having rid den on the street cars in their youth and to these the story of Mr. Pollack was most graphic as he talked over the old times.

In a tradition as old as the United States, Supreme Court justices have always played paramount roles in the enrich ment of American democracy with a flavor of liberalism a sort of democratic faith toward which the free nations of the world have so earnestly turned. The contemporary supreme court purveyor of liberal Amer ican idealism is Justice William O. Jackson, who took his seat in the Supreme Court in 1939. And in his book, "Being an American," which is an addi tion to the Piattsmouth library shelves, any American in doubt about his heritage of freedom, equality and justice can clear ly see what inroads great lib eral leaders of our century have made. Justice Jackson's book is a compilation of his speeches made during the past several years. His range is wide, his topics varied, but the theme throughout is th? same a rug ged, democratic faith. The book is written with rich simplicity and is not clogged with the overworked platitudes of the overzealous '"flag-waver." Jack son is sincere in painting a por trait of America's liberal mag nitude, its democratic tradition and the men of recent times who dedicated their lives simp ly to '"being an American." The much talked-about book, "The Cleft Rock," by Alice Ti : dale Kobart, has also been add ed to the library. It is a nov?! deeply experienced, deeply feU and vividly presented by the author, and concerns the Dodd family of California. The book presents four overlapping gen erations of Dodds, with their husbands and wives, between 1920 and the present. For lovers of historical fic tion. "Song Before Sunrise," by Jonreed Laurit,zen, offers a vi vid flashback to the days of the pristine West in a novel which contains both delicacy and vig or.
