Civic Federation, that clean -skirted or.
ganization that was to bring about the
dawn OF a new era in the politics and
government Of the city of Lincoln?
Mayhap if has tripped in its long skirts
and fallen by the wayside. Or, perad-
venture, il may have been lulled to sleep
by the sweet music of the saints with
whom it was ever closely attuned. Again,
it may have slowly died OF the blow
which Frank Graham and his cohorts
gave it on last election day. Twas such
a promising thing. too. 'Tis a shame
that it should have died or been put to
sleep. or been given that tired feeling,
so soon. But no man can say what will
be the fate Of anything born into the
world. 1t may have fiuttering ribbons
and gay streamers all over if, and yet
die IT may be lusty as an infant. and
die OF desuetude while yet in its youth.
Like the Civic Federation, it may
flourish as the green bay tree for a day
and then wither and perish, unhonored
and unsung. There was a double field
for the Civic Federation. Its primary
object was worthy. Its constitution
was good. But in addition TO this it
was valuable as affording means for the
Good Men. the High Priests and Apos-
ties of Sweetness and Light and Political
Purity and All That Sort OF Thing to
come forth and instruct the common
people in the ways of righteousness, i. e.,
in the ways of the democratic party. 1t
was sort of night school for making
proselytes of week kneed republicans
or mugwumps. And while it lasted il
was as entertaining as summer season
of opera. Here's wishing for its speedy
resurrection!

glad, then will come the big Line In

the fruit and the grain will dazzle the
eye, and art and machinery will display
themselves, and fast horses will tread
the race course, and in town pageants
will move and red light will burn, and
music will sound. The state fair will
be held in Omaha this year, but the
Lincoln fair, bigger, better and more
than ever before will be
here. There will be rings and sideshows
without number. 1t will be a grand
and glorious combination of light and
color and all good things, something to
be waited for with joyous hope and en-
joyed with keenest pleasure. Try the

cial club has held a meeting. There
are some signs of life in the organiza
ton. 1t may awake from the slumber
that overwhelmed it early in the morn
ing of its existence, and it may live and
prosper and do good work. The Lord
knows there is big field for it; plenty
OF work for it to do. Let it get away
from that tired feeling and sloth and
slumber that early attached themselves
to it, and shake itself and settle
down to a steady line Of endeavor in
accordance with the provisions of it's
constitution. Let it give fewer dances,
and do more business. Then it will
prosper and do much good May it
blossom and fructify. May its days be
long in the land, and may success
crown all its efforts
THE RISE The newest and biggest

THE CYCLE facilitating business as
well as for the purposes OF exercise and
recreation is the bicycle. When one
manufacturer states that he has been
making bicycles for twenty years it may
be said that the wheel is not a new
thing. But il is only within the last
few years that il has come into general
use. Before that time its Use was con-
fined almost entirely to those who rode
for exercise or pleasure. Lately it has
crossed the Limitations of the sporting
field, and is now a recognized factor in
the business world. The bicycle is
becoming fully as necessary as the
buggy and the wagon. 1t is. to great
extent, supplanting the horse, and street
railway companies and even the big
steam railroads are feeling the influence
OF this remarkable development in
cycling. Travelling men are making
use of the wheel, newspapers are being
delivered by its means, collectors find it
much more convenient than the buggy.
business men of all kinds use it for
various business purposes. And every
body uses it for recreation nowadays.
In Lincoln nearly three thousand peo-
pie use the cycle, and the number is in
creasing with great rapdity. Riding
the two-wheel concern will soon be
almost as general as pedestrianism.
