HOME INDUSTRY.
"There is not another city in Ne
braska the size of Columbus, or three
times its size, that has as many fine,
complete, up-to-date stores as Colum
bus has." This statement was made
to the editor of the Journal last week
by a man who travels in all parts of
Nebraska.
We are glad to repeat this state
ment to Journal readers. It is a
statement which should till with pride,
not only Columbus merchants, but
Columbus citizens iii general.
This situation naturally leads one
to ask the question, "why"?
There ar1 several reasons outside of
tha personal progressiveness of Co
lumbus merchants, for the excellent
stores.
First may be mentioned the geo
graphical location of Columbus. There
is no inland city in the state that
draws from a better and richer terri
tory than that which is made tribu
tary to this city through the Albion,
Spalding and Norfolk branches.
Much of the trade from this territory
stops in Columbus instead of going t
Omaha and Lincoln, because Colum
bus merchants have prepared to offer
as good qualities at as low prices as
prevail in the larger cities.
Another thing contributes to the
welfare of Columbus stores. Colum
bus merchants the leading merchants
advertise their wares liberally in
local newspapers. The people know
what thev have to sell. For this rea
son, the mail-order house has made
comparatively little headway in Co
lumbus territory and there is the
right kind of feeling between mer
chant and farmer. The farmer
spends his money at home, gets goods
backed by the personal guarantee of
the home dealer and at better prices.
The merchant in turn uses his profits
to increase the value of his business,
and at the same time increase his
contribution to the lax fund which
goes to build roads and schools and
other improvements which in turn en
hance 'he value of farm property.
Other things might be mentioned
which are factors in making the stores
of Columbus objects of envy to sister
cities in Nebraska. We pause, how
ever to mention a few things which
Columbus business men might do, and
ought to do, to improve conditions
here.
Some of the .roads leading to Co
lumbus are not all that they should
be. Canthey be improved? Only by
concerted action.
Our grain men complain that Co
lumbus labors under disadvantages "n
the matter of freight rates, much
grain which naturally would come
here being diverted to other markets
because of those disadvantages. Can
those disadvantages be overcome?
, Only by concerted action.
Columbus coal dealers complain

Siono.tt) will be ctoa for
any substance injariotu to
ueaitn lounu in iwbm
Columbus to reach Omaha. And the
citizen of Columbus pay that differ
ence. Cau this condition of things be
remedied? Only by concerted action.
We have tried to point out in a
general way, wherein ami why Col urn
is strong and wherein business con
ditions can be improved by conceited
effort.
The commercial club is the medium
through which these improvements
should come. Will not the business
men of Columbus rise to ihe necessity
of organized effort to keep Columbus
in the fore-front of Nebraska cities?
Who will be the first to rise to call a
ineetimr of the commercial club?
The saloon keepers in Columbus
as a class are no more responsible for
the disgraceful scenes at the polls yes
terday than are the church people and
that class of people who call them
selves "moral." There are saloon
keepers in Columbus who believe in
law enforcement and they are opposed
to the idea of candidates for office
going into the bootlegging business
within a stone's throw of the polling
place. But this class of saloon keep
ers, ftogether with church menlbers
and other law-respecting citizens
are directly responsible for such fraud
ulent practices as everyone witnessed
vesterdav. When thev set large
enough and patriotic enough to rise in
their indignation, break their prrty
ties and vote down the candidate who
dares drive his supporters to the polls,
fill them with booze and vote them
like cattle, then there will be an end
to election bribery. Until the people
who call themselves good, have the
backbone to do this, they should re
main siieut and let the booze politi
cian give the medicine.
The Journal does not protess4to be
entirely unselfish in urging the re
suscitation of the Columbus Commer
cial club. Columbus cannot grow as
a commercial center; the trade of the
individual merchaut cannot grow
without plenty of advertising in the
local newspapers. The newspaper is
the co-partner of every merchant in
helping to display his offers; and the
co-partner of every buyer in directing
him where to buy. One partner can
not succeed without sharing his suc
cess with his fellow partners. It is
on this theory that the Journal has
worked and is continuing to work to
inc ease its circulation and its adver
tising. And it is on the same theory
that we earnestly urge the business
men to get together through the com
mercial club and do the work which
should be done for the common good
and which cau be done onlv through
co-operation.
The investigation of the big life in
surance companies in New York has
proved more than anything else, the
soundness of old line life insurance.
Where is another institution in the
country that could have stood up un
der the fire? What would have
happened for instance, to the great
banks of New York had their officers
and stockholders been subjected to
such a rigid investigation as that
which caused the death of John
A. McCall, ex-president of the New
York Life? But while proving the
souudness of the theory of life in
surance, the investigation showed that
policy-holders have paid out .millions
in premiums which have been spent
in extravagant salaries aud in the
corruption of legislatures. The result
already has been to place life insur
ance under stricter supervision by the
state tor the purpose of safe-guarding
the interests of policy-holders.
With the controlling progressive
elements of both parties standing on
practically the same platform it
would seem natural for the two ma
jorities to unite into the "radical"
party and the minorities to become
the "conservatives", dropping the
names "democrat" and "republican".
If we were French we would do it
But Anglo-Saxon's don't do things
that way. We oliug to the form when
the substance is all gone. And the
progressive element of the republican
party will continue to defeat the pro
gressive element of the democratic
party, because the republicans do
things while the democratic record is
one of promises and failures.
The establishment of factories in
the south is destined to modify the
political economy of national demo
cracy to as great extent as did the in
I am. a AM. aF 4U A AAA-Stfr -- 4 l-sv 4m .-
i veuuuu w wc iuuuuiu u wc uma
of slavery.
The next democratic candidate for
president will probably ''ail from the
south and he will not be a free trader
but a "protectionist that mild type
of "protectionist" called a "tariff re
visionist". And if the manufacturing
industry continues to grow in the
south, ten years hence the democracy
of the "solid south" is likely to come
forward with a genuine "staudpatter."
By that time, who knows but that the
western republicans will have become
'free traders"? Political history
affords examples of stranger changes.
It is about time that decent repub
licans and decent democrats should
get together and cut out the booze
business at elections. If they cannot
or will not do that, they had better
make it unanimous by enfranchising
yellow dogs and converting their can
didates into dog catchers.
The common bootlegger is as far
above the candidate who peddles
booze to buy his election, as are the
fellows who drink the booze and then
go like cattle to the polls to disgrace
the privilege of American citizenship.
Columbus is not the only place
when public opinion has forced the
democrats over on the republican
platform. They have abandoned free
trade and are trying to beat Cum
mins and Iiooacvelt to tariff revision.
