PROGRESS.

1t is gratifying to the Management of
the Journal to SEQ our subscription
lis. lengthening out and TO be adding
new names to our list of advertising;
patrons.
We have been acting on the theory
that circulation is the basis of success
in the newspaper business. We have
therefore spent much money to i'm
prove the news feature of the Journal
and In Offering other inducements toc
subscriptions.
Frankness corlpels rs to confess that
our expenditures for these purposes
have up to this time exceeded our in
come from increased advertising and
added subscriptions. The climax has
been passed, however in this direction.
and we are convinced THAT The money
thus spent in advertising our business
has been well spent.
Our circulation has increased to the
point where we feel that we can pos
itively guarantee the advertising pa
irons of the daily and weekly Journal
the largest circulation paper in Platte
county.
And the end is not yet reached. Our
circulation is increasing on an aver
age Of a. least fifty subscribers per
week. The circulation of the Weekly
Journal in the city is falling off rap
idly and being replaced by the daily
Journal, just as we have desired. But
the country circulation Of the weekly
journal has more than made mp for
the losses in tho city, making its ad-
vertisirg space more valuable than
ever before.
With the increase in our daily cir
culation, it becomes more imperative
for Columbus business men to offer
their wares in the Daily Journal. to
reach their city trade. We have never
asked the business men OF Columbus
to support the Daily Journal because
Of the fact that a daily newspaper ad-
vertises and Guickens the commercial
activities of city.
We have asked their support only in
direct proportion as they could use ITS
columns to stimulate their own bust
ness, knowing that our ability to help
them is in direct proportion to ou-
circulation. With these facts and
principles in mind we earnestly Sc
licit our share of tie holiday patron
age of those who have anything to
buy or sell and We also solicit the co.
operation of our friend in our con-
stant warfare for increased circula-
tion.

The recent decision of the United
States supreme court in the Nebraska
Aissori boundary dispute is one of
considerable importance to the river
states. A man likes to know, when
he goes to bed at night, what state
he will resi5e in when he wakes ND in
the morning. However, there must
still be complications. Apparently the
decision means that q boundary line
is established at the center line of an
old bed OF the river and stays there
forever after. however the old river
may move around. Thus the river
might move entirely into one state
and citizen Of thatstate might still
Be in possession of his farm which
would, however. be at the bottom of
the river. No doubt these questions
wo6ld be somewhat simplified BY q
fuller report OF the decision rs written
by y.Jnstice Harla6.

An OLD STORY.

Six weeks ago a young girl from
near Huron. S. D., arrived at Omaha,
going thither at the solicitation Of a
man who met her at her home on the
farm while he was peddling clocks
and other things in that vicinity. Her
parents denied him permission to call
on her there and when he went TO
Omaha he opened correspondence with
her and induced her to come TO him.
Shortly after coming he abandoned
her, when she drifted into an evil re-
sort. Half starved and thinly clad she
finally found herself in police court,
whereupcn her. father was notified OF
her whereabouts and her condition.
He car;e after. her and carried two re-
yolyers which he yearned to use on
the person of the betrayer OF his
daughter.
The world is full of such pictures
with their dark and dismal colorings.
Usually the man is to blame. Thes;
libertines roam at will like ROARING
lions. seeking whom they may devour
They delight to Prey upon innocence
and the unsophisticated. They luIt
their victims to destruction and leave
their bones to whiten where they fall
There ere no compunctioCs of con
ec;onco xrith them
The girl who wenG to Omaha wa
silly and deluded. She knew little O
the world and since SO many ether
have Welded under like circum
stances, it was little wonder she mad'
the per;lous journey. Once in Omahi
the vultures were thick about her
Not only did she abandon the path O

of her father and sadness in her home
Justice rs it is meted out by men &C
ccrding 10 their understanding Of tn
essence of il, would vindicate tn
father if ne had killed his daughter
betrayer, but there would ever hay
been in that household the spacter @
the dead.
Had the girl regarded tho advice an
counsel of her parents she would no
have taken the fatal plunge. Had ha
parents possessed that subtle influenc
that binds parents and child toeethe
in complete confidence and respee
there would have been no tragedy i
the life CT their daughter. There was
of course, the same obligation on rh
part of the parents of her betrnyer
their son. and the world ought to dt
mand the same spotless purity OF tn
boy as of the girl but until i: doe!
the daughters must be protected fTo'
the snares that are set for them. Th
best protection is that found i'll th

does il return to the community for
that which ii takes away. Almost all
communities of recent years have
come to realization of the harm . cir

To overcome the evil the various cities
and towns have passed ordinances
which levy a tax upon every show
which appears. In the case Of cities
like Omaha this tax amounts to $500 q

the city treasury and reduces the taxes
