MAKING POUTIOAI , PIUSUlCTlONH ,
\t \ Is a wise'man ' who known when
liot tp prophgay , Colonel Wattorwm
iBauod a prediction a year ago that
I'n'HjiH'nt'UiKMjnvult would bo forced
to succeed hlniHOir In the whltu house.
Headlines were given to the story be-
cnuBO Colonel WaUei-son wan accepted
OHiv wise piophet People curloiiH to
know just how thliiKH were coming out
tnfntod to hid definite forecast with
nonio degree of rellof and became
nwly at once to but tholr hard earned
greenbacks on the stfength of hlfl
opinion.
I : A year hah passed. Colonel Walter-
son , Junt homo from gay 1'arls , gets
elf * tho" boat , looks around the wharf
kh'd ' , lusnba a now prediction. Thin
lime" Oovernor Hughes | a slated to
Win. A j'oar ago President Roosevelt
wa < i going to bo forced to accept the
ro-oloctlon whether ho wanted it or
not. Now Colonel Wattorson takes the
president at his word.
The colonel goes oven further and
cays that Bryan will bo nominated by
the democrats. Ho says that nobody
else Is being norlously considered and
nobody else wants It. Ho declares
that bo sometimes doubts If oven the
poorloBB ono wants It , In view of the
Indiscreet remarks that fall from his
lips every now and then.
And so It Is time to change your
money from Roosevelt to Hughes , ac
cording to the colonel. Just how long
It will bo before another Installment
of his opinion comes forth , Is not nu-
nouncod. It all goes to prove that
making predictions Is dangerous busi
ness , unless you can do It In such away
wayas to cause the public to forgot
tho. mistakes and bear in mind the rnro
Instances of hitting the bull's eye.
A CUH13 FOR BROKEN HEARTS.
No more broken hearts. It has all
boeti figured out down In Now York
state , and It ought to present a lot , of
brainstorms. Instead of allowing him
to suicide or grlevo himself thin , a
girl' in Obenburg , Sullivan county , Now
York , has llxcd up the wounded hcait
by remitting every cent that the fruit
less courtship cost It is something
now in the line of courtship and , If
adopted , ought to save a heap of trou
ble throughout the land.
.Too Mosor liad been "goln * with"
Barbara llutz for llfteon years. This
spring ho popped the question. Bar
bara had no father but did own a step
mother. Joe insisted that the stepmother
.
mother should not live with him and
his bride. Barbara clung to the stop *
mother. They had to glvo up tlielr
romance. It soon became known to
the girl that Joe was bemoaning the
fact that he had spent so much money
on the' girl In his days of courtship.
.
But Barbara was game. She deplnwl
.
that all she wanted was an Itemized
bill in order that she might pay back
.
every cent to Joe Moser for his courtIng -
Ing of her. Joe made out the bill.
Barbara sent , her stepmother to town
and-the cash was paid over In the
.
' presence of the postmaster , who acted
.
as witness. Incidentally It may not
bo out of place to ca l attention to
this lack ot chivalry on the part of
that Now Yorker. It Is really surpris
ing to iind that the effete east could
'produce such an example. He needed
a little western training , perhaps. But
bo that as It may , his bill was one of
.
interest and the girl must bq admired
for her grit , This is what she repaid
after those llfteen years of courtship :

J ' ' GROUP TWO , BANKERS.

ninth meeting of group * 2. BeWrtfiflvon ,
a state association oMmnkpr was.or
ganized in Nebraska , jljio Nprt eastern
Nebraska Bankers association .had be
come a material fact. The Idea of
banker associations , therefore , was
born in northern Nebraska 'and It was
copied by the group down hround Fre
mont , which now claims "superiority"
over Its creator. '
It might bo well to call attention to
the fact that group 3 has become so
Important that today It attracts finan
ciers from three states Nebraska ,
South Dakota and Iowa. And they
como from parts of the west which
are still doing the noblest kind of con
structive work.
Fremont and the Tribune can't be
blamed for being as cheerful as pos
sible under the circumstances. Per
haps It does no harm to oven claim
"superiority" over other bankers In
the state. But the people of 1101 thorn
Nebraska andtho bankers ofnorthern ,
Nebraska can not thus bo disregarded
without a protest
CO-OPERATING WITH NEWSPAPER
Complaint is made in the case of a
certain northern Nebraska man who
has been tried and convicted for a
crime , that ho was excessively pun
ished because of a popular prejudice
which was excited against him by the
newspapers after the crime was com
mitted ; and that the newspapers nev
er have given him fair tieatmont It
Is possible that a prejudice may be
formed against men through unfair
reports in the public prints. 1'ho true
aim of real newspapers Is to treat all
sides fairly. The complaint made of
unfair tiontment , therefore , carries
with it a boomerang in that , sifting
the complaint down to Its foundation ,
we llml that the person who Is not
fulily tiented has only himself to
blame. Newspapers are not mind- *
readers. They cnn only present viewpoints - *
points of parties concerned as those
viewpoints ire given to them. ,
The man who makes it a point , U
accurately Inform the nuxyspap rsn
to his attitude , or his phase of IK cast )
In which the public Is Interested , generally - !
orally has no complaint of unfair treat
ment to make. Mnny'public men who
always appear to be/"In / the paper's ' , "
are the men who' make it a point to
take the papers into r their pbnfldence
and to makejt easy for the papers to
got at theii ; , sides of. the stories , ,
papers print \vlwt. ,1'nctH they can get.
The result Is that the man who do-
. ollties to" discusd'Mho matter , or who
attempts to mlslUad the public prints ,
gets only' such fractions of his story-
presented as can bo secured ,
t President Roosevelt (1jias , been a'
- strlklugexnmplo of.the mnn who has
s.een to it thar the pren ? was. always
, suppjled wjth'jilsisido of"Cach ques
tion or controversy. Ho has taken
the newspapers hito his confidence by
giving tl\om \ advance cojjjefi of his ut
terances , In order tha 'tho reports
might be correct. Ho has gone out
of his way to make It easy for the
newspapers to get from Mini the in
formation sought. Wh'en he has a
conlldenco that he wishes , for good
reason , to be protected , ho : explains
It In full to the correspondents who
are after the news and , giving his
Ish
reasons , asks that the story be withheld
hts
held until opportune time. He treats
the newspapers fairly and the result
Is that he Is in the headlines all of
the tlmff without misrepresentation.
n.or
In fact he 1ms maintained his power
over the country through this potent
method of getting his views before
thp reading public.
To refuse information to the presser
or to .attempt , to mislead , is putting a
premium upon getting the facts from
another source. The man who treats
- tho.papers fairly by giving them all
the information they want about its
, side of the question , generally has1 nc
complaint to make about unfairness ;
it is the element which maintains Bl-
Blto
lence. waiting for the newspapers tc

- Ing nonotOf his viewpoint , who generally
ally suffers when , having failed Ir
tholr genuine efforts to get at all of
the details which ho might Wish tout
see printed , the papers appear wlthoul

InTo get Itself in print just as it
would like , the public has a duty to
perform'In co-nperutlng with the print-
ll i frit. And those who nmka It difficult

It was pronqunccd the 'mpst ' Biicccpsrul

many of the visitors claimed , than the

ers took tho'attitude that the conven

took no part In the discussion. They
explained that they did not Avlsh to
appear In the attitude bf seeking the
noxl convention or In any way to seem
to act selfishly. They wanted no more
attention than their share , no more
than the bankers genuinely wished to
bestow. Heretofore the convention has
mot from place to 'place. Norfolk
hankers , ns the records show , have al
ways attended the sessions , wherever
held. But most of the smaller towns
that have once entertained the asso
elation have found It to bo a task , al
things considered. For instance , in
smaller places the hotel accommoda
lions are limited , private homes uic
called upon to entertain the- visitors
and , while citizens of nil north No

Mr. Bryan has made his new declaija-

a midnight speech , made after all
others had finished. Speakers of prom
inence throughout the evening had be
stowed praise upon the Nebraskan and
had declared that he was the unques

got up and created the panic.
Unlike his Madison Square Garden
address , in which he declared for gov

It to bo unpopular In his own party
Mr. Bryan cannot this time crawl out
of his doctrine. In the Madison Square
rem
Garden Instance ho came homo from
Europe to declare that ho was in favoi
of government ownership. Then he
waited for a little while. When he
found that there were serious objec

democrats , ho flopped back by declar

A ruling has been given by Attor *
iby- General Thompson . of Nebn&ltn
!
n which he Interprrts the new antlj
iiafis law with regard to attqrjieysqud
physicians. The new la\y requires
( >
: hnt passes and free t'nnsportation |
may be granted only to Attorneys "and
ihyslcians who devote a majority of
,
; helr time to the service Of the fail-
road. ' Altorney General Thompson >
' . . . , . , declared that Under this' " provision I-
Iiy
sion , an attorney or a physician maybe
.
be given re.0 transportation tor use
when on a mission for the ailroad
idr
companyi In other words , If an attor
ney or physician is employed for ono
-
da } ' on railroad business , he may be
given trip passes for that day. And
d.at
while the interpretation says that
atm
passes may not bo given for use on
e"private trips , it is not at all impos-
slblo that the lines between private
trips and company trips may not be
sharply drawn.
Attorney General Thompson bases
his decision upon n decision of the
10a
Interstate commerce commission In a
similar case. Iowa has a law that is
Identical with that in Nebraska and
, It is said that It will be similarly In
terpreted.

There was this" mucih demonBtra&d
by the slim audience at Dr. MoOor-
mack's excellent lecture : Cheapntfss

The newspapers are doing a good 'V
deal of guessing about the appointment -
mont of a collector of Internal revenue 4

Dr. McCormack , the physician of na
tional reputation whoso address here
tonight has attracted dozens of out of
town medical men and some o them
from a hundred miles , spoke last night
In Omaha. That was his first stopUn
Nebraska. His second address isIn
Norfolk and the third in Fremont.
People even as far away as Kentusky
know the order In which Nebraska
cities are to be ranked. i
There was this unfortunate clrcubi-
stance In connection with Dr. McCor-
maclt's visit to Norfolk : The town
had been up late the night before tak
ing in the band minstrel show and the
bankers' banquet. A town can be ex
pected to stay up beyond Its bedtime
ono night , but two nights hand-run
ning of such dissipation Is getting
pretty strong and the town slowed
down by going to bed on just the night
that Doc McCormack happened along.
He was well worth hearing and If : he
would stay over to repeat the lecture
he would unquestionably get a house.
