AT THE GEM

Two. packed houses on Sunday
night greeted Prof. Almond on his
first appearance in our city. The
MANAGEMENT did not say too much
in advertising this attraction as the
greatest of it's kind. Words can
not describe the beautiful effects,
both light and scenic of the "City
of Yesterday" and every one who
ever visited the old Frisco town be-
fore the earthquake can easily dis
tinguish all the prominent build
ings. The team Of Black and Black
opened last night and made espe-
cially good with some clever dane
ing and musical numbers. This is
no doubt one of the finest shows
ever put on in the city. The scenic
effects in the earthquake show be-
ing far beyond anything ever seen
here in the big road shows. AS the
picture change for tonight will be
of the usual high standard the man
agement can be sure Of big house.

Is ALL LAWBREAkERs AsK.sAIn
REV. HARRIS IN HIS, ADDRESS
~. e;<S SUNDAY NIGHT. - '~
THE MINISTER CALLS on THE
CITIZENS TO ORGANIZE FOR
sosRIETY AND MORALITY

Sunday evening Rev. Harris. at the
Presbyterian church, made a forcible
plea for the enforcement of the laws,
more especially those which pertain
ed to morality and temperance. He
took as his text, Leave Us Alone"
saying that this was all that any law
breaker asked and what seemingly
the better element of the city as we'll
as other cities thought was the cas-
lest course to take.
He condemned the argument made
by some that the presence of houses
Of i'll repute were a safe guard to the
home as being low estimate on the
manhood of the land and pointed out
that through the tacit admission of
this argument by the authorities un-
told misery and disease was brought
to future homes Of children patrons
of such places. 555
Regarding the blind pigs, he said
in substance they we're a blot on the
fair name OF the city and that he,
with others, believed they could be
eradicated If the people willed itaso.
He expressed the belief that no ser
ious effort had been made by the
people at large to drive this evil out
and called upon the citizens to organ
ize and drive them from the city
through a concerted action which
would so hold up the hands of the
officials that there no longer would be
any question regarding public senti-
ment on This issue. He said he be-
lieved the city had daily paper
which would help such a movement
with it's influence should it be made
apparent the people wanted cleaner
city. He very emphatically dis
agreed with The reasoning which &C
uated the leaders of the w. c. T.|U.
through whose efforts the Macarthur
bill regulating the druggists permits
was defeated, as in his opinion that
bill would have put an end to drug
store liquor sales. E.
Mr.. Harris said that after every
effort had been tried to enforce the
prohibition law and it had bean found
impossible, which he did mott believe
would be the case, he wanted the
law resubnitted to a vote to fnd out
what the people reall wanted; he
believed in the initiative and refer
endum and deprecated the fears Of
the prohdbitionists In respect to the
outcome Of the passage Of. that act;
that such law would be better for
all concerned in the end as the peo-
pie would most certainly do what was
best for all IL ali laws were left to
them. 4 i l.. 81

GRADUATING SERMON.

The graduating sermon to the SEN
ior class OF the high school was
preached at the Presbyterian church
by Rev. George B. Newcomb of the
Baptist church last Sunday morning
and the platform was beautifully dec
Grated with potted plants and cut
flowers, the lilac and cherry blossom
being used abundantly, and the house
was filled with the friends of the class
and those interested in the function.
The Presbyterian choir furnished the
music, rendering the Jubilante Dec.
by J. F. Rathbun. Messrs. Chase and
Humphreys sung duet for tenor ana
bass, ''The Lord Is My Shepherd" by
E. p. Hanscomb. The text was, "Be-
hold the Man." and the speaker por-
trayed the manly character of Christ
as model for young people to follow.
The entire exercise was very i'm
pressive.

The Public,s Share of Guilt.

While pointing a finger of scorn at
the sugar ring, let us pause for a mo-
ment and see what the cold-blooded
government thinks of some OF the
other offenders. The voice is that of
the secretary of the treasury, and he
minces no words in summarizing his
views Of the general evils underlying
the customs house disclosures.
The influence of local politics comes
in for its share OF denunciation, as pro-
noting that "laxity and low ton which
prepare and furnish inviting soil for
dishonesty and fraud" The secretary
is undoubtedly right in his conclusion
that unless the service can be released
from the payment of political debts and
exactions, and from meeting the sup
posed exigencies of political ~organiza-
tions, big and little, It will be impossi-
BILE to have an honest service for any
length Of time"
But offensive ~partisanship in the
customs is not so clearly shown by the
secretary as is the general public's
share Of guilt in the Generalization of
the service. Mr.. McVeagh makes IT
clear that the widespread disposition
of returning American travellers to
evade the payment of customs duties
has greatly helped to create the condi-
lions which have become intolerable.
"Those Americans who travel abroad, %
he says, belong to the sections of peo-
pie which most readily create public
sentiment and are most responsible for
It; and the fact that in so many In,
stances these travellers are willing &c
defraud the government out of consid.
cradle or even small sums, creates an
atmosphere on the docks that strongly
tends 70 affect the morale Of the entire
customs service. And when to this Il
added the frequent willingness upon
the part Of these responsible citizens
specifically to corrupt the govern.
ment's men, then the decentralization
is further accumulated"
In other words, the secretary of tn,
treasury eonvicts the American people
at large Of being a nation Of smugglers

Will it Be a whitewash 2

The-Board of County Commissioners
has had before It for several days the
results Of an investigation Of a scandal
at the county hospital. The stories
told the board we're most circumstan-
tial, and contain direct charges of not
only scandalous, but criminal, conduct
on the part of some Of the county en-
ployes. After hearing all the testi-
mony the board took the matter under
advisement.
Just what there was to give DELHI
crate consideration may be summed
up in one Of two propositions.
Either the witnesses lied or they told
the truth. AS the employee most seri-
ously accused is reported to have con-
fessed in detail the crime charged
against him, it would seem that in his
case, at least, there was very little to
deliberate over.
The county attorney declines to go
out of his way to take cognizance of
the conditions developed by the inves-
tigation. Is the matter to be hushed
up, or will the authorities go to the
bottom of It., even II It should result in
the removal of a democratic pap-sucker
from his position at the public trough?

Our Vast

The National Monetary commission
may be considered to have rendered a
marked service to the country in COM
piIing so completely the united bank
resources Of the country, for its
method Of taking account Of stock is
more striking in It's results han any
calculations hitherto shown in the cen
sus reports.
For the first time the American citi-
zen is able to grasp the immensely Of
the resources of the various banking
institutions of the nation, exceeding
t~wenty-one billions Of dollars, and Gov
erlng actual deposits of fourteen bill
lions at a given date. The individual
share in this vast investment is S213
per capita in the entire United States
and it's island possessions, and It
should be a matter of state pride that
Nebraska's per capita exceeds this av-
erage.
The significance of the commissions
report must come home to the thought
full citizen as demonstrating the urgent
need for devising some permanent
method Of administering and safe
guarding this tremendous capital. 1t
Ia the greatest object lesson yet Of
fered in the campaign Of education
that the commission devised to lead to
currency reform. Such q fiscal giant
should not be left at the mercy Of such
filings of misfortune as in the past have
crippled It. and it must be evident to
all that the best method for bulwark-
ing the banking interests ought to be
discovered with as much speed as is
consistent with safety.

Canada and Annexation.

While the liberals are having their
W troubles in England, those in Can
ada seem to be having everything their
W way, for they have just demon
strated strength enough to indicate a
complete change Of plan in the matter
of naval enterprise. 1t is now evident
that the Laurier government has suffi-
cient votes to put through its proposals
for the construction of a fleet of cruis-
ers and torpedo-boats and for the sub
sidizing of shipyards and drydocks.
But these, 1t appears, are to be used
exclusively for the dominion's interests,
and will not be a contribution to Great
Britain as originally proposed.
Sir Charles Topper, former premier,
may be held partly responsible for the
triumph of the Laurier policy, for at
the last moment he came forth with a
recommendation that Canada's war
ships should be its own, and not a
part Of the imperial navy, coupled with
the warning that 1t was time for the
Dominion to recognize the danger Turk
ing across the borders, that of annexa-
ton, his conservative spirit seeming to
have been stirred over the fear that
the United States contemplate forcible
seizure of the country to the north.
This is the second time within a
few weeks that "a distinguished Can
adian has set up this cry of wolff
and one cannot but marvel at the fright
that the bugaboo seems to inspire at
Ottawa. Sir Charles Upper may be
right in his claim that the fixed policy
of all parties in the United States is
for annexation, but on this side of the
border that at present is not what one
might term a dominant issue, and ii
there is any general desire on the part
of the American people to present the
Dominion territory to Uncle Sam, II
will be as some future Christmas gift
not this season. We might want tc
marry Miss Canada, when she grows
up, but we nave no intention of doing
any KIDNAPPING, Sir Charles!
