Some of the merchants of McCook in
our humble opinion. are making a mis-
take in cutting down their newspaper adj
vertising. No matter whether trade is
dull or not, the merchants who do the
advertising will get the bulk ofthe trade,
whilst those who do little or none, sit on
their counters and watch the people go
by. We asked II of the largest mer-
chants in Lincoln whether he had shut
down on his advertising this fall, one
day last week. His answer was, do
you suppose all these people would be
here if 1 didn't advertiser

Importance of Road improvements.

hotiSS - iOaS III II
I regard the movement for good roads
as II of the most important Of social
reforms. 1t has i'll it great material
benefit for the people generally, and to
the agricultural interests of the country
especially. In the east especially we lave
reached a stage CT development where a
network Of smooth highways is essential
to our prosperity and growth. Our cities
and villages must be brought into closer
contact with the farms. In man sections
the limit of communication by railway
and canal has beer reached, and depend
ence must be now upon good roads. To
the residents of the farms, to the mer-
chants in the towns, to the canals, to the
railroads, to the large army of employees,
to the consumers in the cities, i'll short,
to all interests and citizens, the close
communication of farm and city is most
desirable for business and commercial
leading out to the rural towns from the
principal business community in each
county canno help stimulating business
in that community and developing the
country round about it. But beyond all
this they are as advantageous in elevating
the social and intellectual life of the
rural population as they are in improving
its material condition.-Gov. Flower.

We notice by our exchanges that re-
representatives. ofthe Chicago Supply house
are again working their way perhaps even
now are in Platte County. 1t seems al
most useless to caution people against
patronizing these frauds, for they always
find plenty of victims, but it is a part of
the duty of the newspapers and must be
continued. Remember that ever if you
save a few cents on some one article you
buy from the sharpers, they are here to
beat you and will do it in some way if
you deal with them. Patronize your
home merchants who help pay your tax
es, and to whom you have to go when
you have not the cash. This refers to
peddlers of all kinds, those taking orders
for shirts, clothing, or groceries.

The braided coats with full shoulder
capes are beginning to have a hall mark
ed appearance. The semi-ftting double
breasted shape is far more ladylike and
becoming. Brown cloth is more popular
than black, and certainly it looks far
nicer. The prettiest coats are in a warm
shade of chestnut brown trimmed with a
deep collar of skunk, wolverine or sable.
Cloaks either just fall below the waist or
are made three quarter length. They
are extremely dressy, especially when
made with plenty of f~ullness. A pretty
cloak is of black MORE antique with a
couple of short shoulder capes of black
velvet embroidered with jet.

A Plea Against Resubmlss,on.

The following we Clip from The
Michel Republican.
Ed. REPuBLIcAN:-"Why resubnitf
Is not the prohibitory law good?
Ii it has any weak point, like the
pharmacy clause, why not amend i,
aud make it stronger? These ques-
tons naturally confront the friends
OF good order.
The law was passed by n good
majority after the people were con.
WINGED that all kinds Of license were
a failure and had been for the last
200 years; now who wants result
mission?
1t cannot be that the sober man
or woman or our state wants resub-
mission; those who use intoxicants
cannot complain Of the law as they
can ship in for private use and de-
bauch their own homes and drink
themselves 10 death and the state
will care for the pauper widow and
orphan children, but they are ex-
Guided from extending their curse
to the public. Surely a drinking
man ought to submit to such a law.
But who are the real parties inter
estcd in rcsuhnissiou? Answer.
Those who make money by the
manufacture aud sale ofintuxicants.
Aud DO W. suppose the few saloon.
lists and druggists in our own state
are making all this ado about re
submisson? You meet at the hotels
and on trains, cumming their way,
paid agents Of the liquor dealers
association Of tie United States
with Il working capital of $4,000.
900 at their command to break
down prohibition wherever it is at
ienpeu.
In view Of these facts what is the
duty OF the legislature? Could the
legislature but see the liquor traffic
as the sworn foe Of the home, the
church aud the state, and that pro-
hihition only undertakes to grapple
with the monster aud is rs success
full as in any other state. 1t would
he only reasonable to expect that
the legislature would appropriate ut
least $4,000 to help enforce the law
and strengthen any weak points
apparent in order to better enforce it.
