encourage manufacturers to
come and any other enterprise,
but you have never made the
proper effort to secure a good

children to 60 elsewhere to be
educated, or do without any
education, because you are
afraid that should this ente, prise
come up you might be compelled
to put your hand in your own

Citizens! we appeal to yot
as sesidlle men, to take this
in hand and by the time the
next term Of school should
commence, to DO prepared tc
receive pupils from other towns
instead of building up Other
cites, by sending your children

The Michigan road law, providing
that the users of wide wagon wheel
tires shall have rebate of one half
their road tax, is an ingenious induce
ment which works great advantage to
the taxpayer, tc the roads, and, by
consequence, TO the general public.
According to awriter in Good Roads,
tits estimated that with broad tires
on wagons, carriages and buagies all
public highways can be kept in very
much better condition than is now
possible, at one-fourth the cost of the
present system. In the matter of road
reform the first essential seems to be
the widening of the tires Of the yehi-
cles. The general adoption of this
would be long step Of itself in the
direction Of perfect roads. Without il
perfect roads are practically impossi
ble."

The silver anniversary of Nebraska's
admission to the privileges andrespon-

at Lincoln Wednesday. Perhaps the
most noticeable feature of the cere-
monies was a '.great industrial par
rade." Those persons who have been
accustomed to think Of Nebraska as
an agricultural State, peopled, mainly
by Alliance men, will doubtless be
surprised at this demonstration. Yet
no better evidence could have been
presented that the first quarter century
of Nebraska's existence as State has
been attended by that alI-round de-
velopment'in which is to be found the
best guarantee Of a staple and con.
tinping prosperity.

Why He Didn't Rise.


Detroit is a lovely city and every
body knows it. The love of it is bred
in the bone and never gets out of the
flesh. The other Sunday a visiting
clergyman addressed the Sunday
school of an uptown church. After
serious talk he said to the children:
"All of you who desire to live in bet
ter world than this please rise to your
feet" All the children rose except
one small boy in the corner. The
good man looked at him in panied sur
prise. "My child" he said very gent
ly and kindly, "why don't you rise
with the others?" "Detroit's good
enough for me that's why" sung out
the young5ter; and the soIemnity of
5he occasion was knocked to pieces
