in his brotherhood with all created life was a
worthy disciple of st. Francis, carrying the doc
trines of Emanuel Swedenborg to a length no
other disciple of the mystic has advocated. He
claimed to have frequent conversations with an
gels and spirits and always carried with him a
few volumes of the Swedish teachers works.
AS he had no tract society to furnish him with
literature and no private means with which TO
buy many books, he hit upon an original plan for
the spreading of the Swedenborgian teachings.
His few books he divided each into several pieces,
which he left with people he interested in his
mission. On his next trip he would collect the
portions left on the former trip and distribute
other portions. thus endeavoring TO spread the
knowledge of swedenborg's writings as widely as

and in the address delivered by J. Sterling ~6on from q farmers
wagon many of his predictions have been fulfilled. Mr.. Morton
was not only prominent in every step taken in the development OF
Nebraska, but he was prominent in national affairs a well. He
was the originator of Arbor day and a prominent cabinet officer.
The name of j. Sterling Morton and Nebraska City are tnseparable.
1t was here at Nebraska City that the government for many
years transferred the great stores Of army supplies from the Mis-

the city awoke to the fact that
mere natural progress was not
all that might be desired. A
city does not grow within itself
and out of its own resources.
There must be a cause for a
city, a country back of it. Trade
must flow naturally to build a
city as water flows into a lake.
Where all these conditions are
favorable the building of a city
is certain as the growth of a
plant. Commerce, like force,
follows the line of least resist
ance, and it is commerce that
builds every city. Trade and
manufacturing are the indus
tries that bring together a large
population. Nebraska City is
in touch with a large circle in
the Missouri valley. The farm
er's produce, the dairyman's
butter, the cattieman's beef,
the sheep raiser's mutton and
wool, the great amount of pork
produced, all, in fact, that the
county produces, is directly or
indirectly in touch with the
whole valley.

Mother of Nebraska History

In fact. Nebraska City seems 20 be the mother Of the early his
tory Of Nebraska. It has sent out many OF its best sons and daugh-
tiers to all parts of the state, and they are acting q prominent part
in its development.
Travel and transportation have always been the prime factors Of
civilization. Just before the advent OF the railroad. from 1855 to
1860. there were hftynine steamboats, on the lower river and 500
steamers arrived in one season at Lawrence. Kan. It was the
golden era OF steamboats, on the Missouri river.
Nebraska City is strictly a selt-mAde town. Not a dollars worth

ence not to be avoided.
The great motive in mons affairs that entered
Nebraska more than half a century ago was to pass
through the state over the shortest practical trail.
Twenty-Five years later it was represented by the
homestead and stock ranch. The romance of the
Nebraska pioneer is one of the most thrilling In
history. Men are living who took part in 1t, yet
It has gone into history as a distinct romance but
lily to be spared from the story of western progress,
The first occupant of Nebraska. the trapper, was a
destroyer and not a builder. He made neither a
past nor assured a future for this new empire. He
was no broader than the Indian trail that he travelled
and subsisted largely on the buffalo; he was a cum
beror of The earth and spelled no progress what
ever. This was his farm and he reaped its harvests
of fur where no man sowed or titled.

of foreign capital has been a
factor in its existence or its
growth; its buildings are owned
by its own people, its banks are
capitalized by home money, its
large factories have been built
and are operated with home
dollars and home talent; the
merchants have grown up with
their town and today present
an unbroken front of growth
and prosperity that will COM
pare ~favorably with any city Of
its size in the Missouri valley.
Every factory in the city has
grown from diminutive size and
primitive business until they
rank among the best and most
prosperous in the state. For
tunes have been made and lib
orally expended un the building
up of the city. The founders
builded more wisely. perhaps,
than they knew. There are
those living yet who can point
out landmarks that hold sacred
memories; log houses and fur
traders cabins. Primitive
buildings have been cleared

Tales of the Trail

Along their trail in after years the great emf
grant wagons dotted white the limitless plain to
the loot OF the Rocky mountains, and the emigrants
lett their toll by the trail in nameless mounds on
the prairie, Yet their splendid achievements have
proved that the white mans footsteps were surely
not ON the wrong trail. Out OF the west came the
message Of infinite space; into the west rode the
men of a conquering freedom. They found the
ring of the Indian tepee still warm where his little
fire had burned till the day Of their inroad. The
coming of the railroad broke the silence of the
plains and it did more; it marked the beginning of
the end Of the wilderness.
In the early settlement of the state Nebraska
City plays a most prominent part. 1t was here that
the first ground was broken for agricultural pu

and present. This is a day of business expansion and rapid deve-
opment, and those who are slow to grasp opportunities are soon left
in the background.
For many years Nebraska City, like Topsy, lust grew" and
quite naturally its growth was along the lines of least resistance.

ABOUT ADVERTISEMENT. 8 The Cellar Hole and the
 Sewer Hole
 By Herbert Kaufman.
By Herbert Kaufman.

A coal cart stopped before office building in Washington and the driver dsmounted, removed the cover from manhole, out his chute and pro- ceeded to empty the load An old negro stroled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into fit of uncomfortable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement Say, Uncle,' he asked do you always laugh when you see coal going into cear? The negro sputtered around for few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, "N0, Sah, but jest bnsts lUhen sees II goin' dolOn Seuer.'
 The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the selOer and the cellar
 All the money that is put into newspapers isnt taken ont again by any The fact that all papers possess a certain physical likeness doesn't by any signify similarity in character and it's character in newspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts journalistic finds different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers
 What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandanongerng, undertaking sheet is logically supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers but such reders seldom purchasers of advertised goods.
 It's the clean-cut, steady, norrnal-rnnded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the munity. It's the sane, Self-respectng, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it's the home sale that indicates the strength of advertising medium.
 No cean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver- tiser He subscribes to neOSpdPer aOch he does rot fear to ledUe ubOnt the house.
 Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than which may larger circulation but whose distrbu- tion IS ir ten editions among unproftabe citizens.
 You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haUen't mOney than you hope to pluck oysters from bushes
 It isn't the number of readers redched but the number of readers whose purses be reached that constitutes the value of circulation It's one thing to arouse bsir dtefon but it's a far different thing to get b1ei DrOney. The mind may be Uiimg but the pOcketbook t 1Uedk.
 you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land a hundred of oasis you'd select the fertile spot realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive.

NOT LEAD, BUT DING.

At the risk of being deemed trifle ortho-
dox we have made a biblical text the basis of
this article.
1t was used in recent sermon by Or. Aked,
the preacher imported from England, by John
Rockefeller in an effort to point out some I'M
patable truths. The thoughts suggested by
DIR. Aked were not original with him but were
first promulgated by Thomas Dixon, in the
New Broadway Magazine, mention of which
mas already appeared in the Blade. Dr. Aked
denounces the modern orthodox preacher as
being parrots" and all guilty of repeating
dead church cries." Has it not occurred to
DR.. Aked that, he is but 'parroting" Thomas
Dixon and that he has used much Of the lat
ter's identical words and figures in his sermonf
The text, however, is as follows;

TWO FREETHOUGHT CONVENTIONS.

The Blade is pleased to announce that ar
rangements practically completed for the
holding of two important conventions of
September 9, and continuing for several days
Both of these gatherings should be well
attended.
An open invitation is extended to all Free
thinkers to attend and show their colors by
tax NJ part in the proceeding and encourag
ing the work by their presence.
First will come the convention of the
Buckeye Secular Union, Hon. George o. Rob-
erts, president.
Second i'm line is the Convention OF the Ma
teralst Association, Mrs. Eliza MOwry Bliv-
en-, secretary.
The Opera House at Canal Dover has been
secured for both.
Among the ell-known Freethought writers
and advocates who have promised to attend
are DIR. Bowles, Otto Wettstein and Others.
1t will be worth the trip to meet these cham
pions of the intellectual arena and hear them
expound the gospel of universal mental liber-
ty. If it is possible the Blades editor will
be on hand and help in. the work.
Every Freethinker within radius of 300
or 400 miles ought to be present. Some will
travel much further. Distance cuts no ice
when ones heart is in the cause.
If you are thinking of attending write to
George O. Roberts, Dennison, Ohio, or, to Mrs.
Eliza Mowry Biven, Brooklyn, Conn.,, and Ell
