New Years was . quiet day.
The young folks and some Of the
older ones attended the firemen's
ball, and were content to remain
quiet all day. A few made calls,
and had q pleasant time Of 1t. The
business man generally stayed at
home and renewed his acquaintance
with his family. IL Is now time to
lay the plans for the years work
and as the year bids fair to be one Of
the busiest In business, politics, and
all other lines, . feeling Of refresh
ment and ability to take hold Of the
matters Of life with Q will Is pre-
valent everywhere. Hope and as
surance has taken the place Of des-
pair and doubt, and Q confidence in
the future has been established that
no ephemeral thing can again shake
as did the Far-but we promised
last week to let up on the Alliance.

While this worthy organisatisn
has bssn taking short rest for Ssv
weeks past, It has BY no means bssn
Idle. Quite . crowd assembled q
the clubs rooms last Tuesday eve
ming In response to . letter from the
president, and various matters Of
public interest were taken up.
The first was the matter Of wheth.
er Salina should invite the Demo-
Gratis Of the state to hold their State
Convention here. A free expression
from nearly all present, indicated
that the Invitation should be extend
ed, and . motion to that effect car
ried unanimously, on motion Of
Mr.. Watson, q committee of five was
appointed to take charge Of the mat
ter. and see what was needed, and to
extend the invitations in the proper
manner, Mr.. Watson, Merrill,
Daniels, wellslages, and Crsvens,
were named as that committee.
The sugar beet matter was next
considered, and Clafiin, Ober and
Lee were appointed as a special com.
mittee to push that matter, and II
possible get some tangible basis to
figure from.
Mr.. Steel received q letter from
Mr.. Brinkerhof in regard to rum
ming the Beloit train to Salina,
which was read to the club. 1t would
seem from the letter that no organ
lied effort had been made by the
towns along the branch favoring the
change, and this matter was also
left to q committee Of three consist
ing, Of Messrs, Bristow, Steel and
Kirkland, with power to act.
Mr.. Wellslager then i'm his earnest
manner exhorted the members Of
the club to renewed efforts, and
wanted each one to feel that when
he gave his time and energy to the
clubs business, he was working for
himself and no one else. He hoped
the attendance at future meetings,
would be enthusiastic. The club
then adjourned until next Tuesday
evening, at which time all commit
tees are expected to report.

By special request the cantata
"the Birth OF Christ" was repes ted
at Plymouth church on New Years
evening. The church was filled with
an sppreciative audience, and those
who took part done their best, and
that means q great deal In the way
of good singing. The piece abounds
In solos, quartets, trios and choruses,
and each person done full justice to
his part. The choruses Of the chill
dren In the scene where charity is
crowned queen and In welcoming
Santa Claus Ii especially worthy OF
honorable mention. The scene where
the children are alsesp and are
watched over by the angels was
very impressive, and the awakening
of the children and the discovery Of
the fruits Of Santa Claus's visit was
true to life and very pleasing. The
tableaux were grand and brought
out In harmony all the characters In
the peice, making Q fitting climax to
q deserving effort.

Dog On It.

City Marshal Jerry Williams Is
terribly riled at the mad dog editor
Of the JOURNAL, and for q spell Sum
day afternoon when the two hap
pened to meet, the m. d. editor was
afraid our efficient guardian Of the
peace had been bitten by one of the
rabid ours he exterminated, and that
we would have to bundle him off to
Pasteur for treatment for rabies, but
after all we are convinced all hands
were laboring under misspprehen-
sion Of the facts, and that we misun-
derstood each other.
The JOURNAL. like all good papers
should be, is staunch supporter OF
the police, but as the police are only
mortal men like the rest of us, they
may sometimes make mistakes. One
Of the mistakes they made was In
giving Information Of the mad dogs
they claimed to have killed to the
daily papers Of this city. A hungry
reporter In search of q sensation will
generally make "mad dog" item
about ten times worse than 1t really
is; and 50, there is where the mis-
chief comes in. We know Of one
woman who would not send her
children to school for two or three
days because she was afriad they
would be bitten by mad dogs. She
even made her husband buy o revol-
yer and carry 1t with him for pro-
lection, all on account of o silly re-
port Of "mad dog" In one Of the
local datlies. Granting as Marshal
Williams says, that three mad dogs
were killed, the little dailies some
times had three q day, and that was
too many for even the police to
father. We may be little bit skep-
tical about "mad dogs" anyway,
but are willing to give everybody
else the right to believe every glut-
tinous pup "mad," IL they want to,
but we insist that these senseless
and dangerous "mad dog" scares
must cease. (as they have done al
resdy.) Even II Q "mad dog" is
killed 1t Is better to keep quiet about
1t than to scare all the nervous
women and little children to death.
We have nothing to take back.

DEAR SIR-In the editorial col.
umns Of the Salina Herald, dated
Dec, 25th, I notice Q statement re.
garding myself and brother, affirm.
ing that we have written and circu.
late o book on the Race Problem
since our return from the South.
The article further states that the
above named book il derogatory to
the South and not founded on truth,
l wish to inform the public, through
your columns, that the statements
In the Salind Herald of Dec, 25th,
are absolutely and unequivocally >
false, and are malicious and un.
founded fabrications, evidently the
production Of mind as purile as II
is uniformed and prejudiced.
wish to say further, that we have
neither written, published or cir.
culated book entitled, 1.-THE
Race Problem" and that we are
prepared to substautiate and de
fend any and all statements made
by US, regarding the South and Ii
people. Respectfully

AMENDING the B1LLOT LIW.

The Senate Committee TO which the proposed
amendments to the Ballot law were referred give
a Rearing day 10 those interested. II has been
reported that the Democratic majority at Albany
Is determined to allow these amendments 10 die
in committee; that it will leave the existing law
severely alone Every intelligent voter, what
ever may be his politics, ought to hope that this
report is untrue. For those who are familiar
with the working of the law at the last two
general elections are agleed-so far as we are
aware there is 70 dissent from the plopcsition-
that it cannot meet the best expectations. that
it cannot promote the greatest good Of the great
est number, unless a blanket ballot is provided
for and the paster is abolished.
The chief amendments now pending at Al
bany improve the law in these two salient par
ticuars. Why, then, should they not be prompt
~ passed? There is no politics in them, not a
particle. They are designed simply 70 render
our elections honest; to minimize the Oppor-
tunities for bribery and corruption at the polls,
to prevent the recurrence of such deplorable con-
tests as those which followed the elections of
last November The Peoples Municipal League,
which drafted the amendments, is, as is well
known public spirited, but in no sense par
tsan, organization It's sole object, as ts name
indicates is to promote the common welfare by
rendering services in which the people as a
whoe are vitally interested But the amend
mcnts have more than the League behind them.
They have met with the hearty approval Of
leading men of both the great political parties
and Of representative Independents. They have
also received the unreserved commentator OF
the most influential labor organizations Of the
State, the sagacious members of which long ago
discovered that workinQman had much 20 lose
