6 THE COURIER Many Lincoln people are planning to go to St. Lou'ib to the Grand opera which goes to that city after its Chicago engagement. The first night at the auditorium was unusually brilliant even for a first night. The boxes 6parklod with jewels, shoulders and flowers and the parquet and dress circle took up the glitter and carried it across to the other side. Tho whole spectacle was like an immense jeweled cluster set in black and white enamel. dress before the federation of university clubs in the Windy city. To read about gay scenes and lovely eoundn that they see and hear in great cities makes the dweller in a little town forget his blessings.

Sometime ago announcement was made of the re-engagement of Bayard Holmes, of the Chicago university, for the coming session of the Crete Chautauqua assembly. Mr. Holmes is a socialist of the most pronounced type and he will undoubtedly indulge in the same radicalism next July that disgusted a great many thinking people who attended the Crete Chautauqua assembly last year. On ac count of Mr. Holmes' extreme views there has been some criticism of the management in again bringing him to Crete; but be is prob ably looked upon as a good advertisement, and this particular as sembly is just now looking for drawing cards. But it is to be regret ted that so much consideration is given to these squawking cranks. Their talk is iconoclastic and not calculated to do anybody any good. Holmes is a pbysican, if we remember correctly, and last summer at Crete he took particular delight in telling how he robbed wealthy patients by charging them exorbitant fees. He preached the doc trine that every man who accumulates a fortune is a rascal, and he delivered himself of many monstrosities of thought. His a socialism whose legitimate outcome is anarchy, and such men as Holmes ought to be summarily suppressed. He was recently nominated mayor of Chicago by the pops, with whom he is in high favor, and is just now making inflammatory speeches. WHAT "WE" INCLUDES. Somebody who wants to explain what the editorial "we" signifies says it has a variety of meanings, varied to suit the circumstances. For an example: When you read that "we expect our wife homo to-day," "we"' refers to the editor-in-chief. When it is "we are a little late with our work,' it includes the whole office force, even to tho devil and the towel. In "we are having a boom,"' the town is meant. "We received over seven hundred thousand immigrants last year" embraces the nation, but "we have hog cholera in our midBt" only means that the man who takes the paper and does not pay for it is very ill. W. S. Summers left tor Chicago Thursday. He delivered an ad- The growth of the circulation of THE CHICAGO TIMES-HER ALD is phenomenal. It is the most popular Chicago paper that is sold here and can always b9 obtained from Seacrest Bros., 113 north' Thirteenth street. Leave an order with them.
