Tide in the Affairs of Falls City on

ut never rains, but it pours." Falls
City is more fortunate than she de-
serves to be. Just what all that this
will mean to Falls City is impossible
to foretell at this early stage of the
matter This much is assured, that
Falls City will have fine govern
ment postoffice building erected in
the near future. City delivery and
other advantageous features are GER
tain to follow.
Tha tide in the affairs of Falls
City Is on the swell. If just at this
junction the city could be induced to
DO he, part, still greater things would
icsut Thus far our good things
have come to us with little effort
ana prao tically no outlay on the part
of the city. If the city took n strong
hand in the present advance the
otherwise impossible would easily be
accomplished Falls City Is the logi-
cal place for strong educational in
sttution. There is absolutely moth
ing To prevent us having an insti-
tuition of learning and culture repre-
senting the investment of hundreds
of thousands in money and the bring
ing TO the business interests of the
town the trade of hundreds of new
people, excepting the general indif-
ference of a very large part of our
citizens to the welfare and growth Of
their home town 1t is difficult to
understand why our people are so
slow to make use of their opportuni-
ties. Is it probable there are those
among us, who are deliberately
Withholding their support in order to
discourage the growth of the city.
The bringing here of people of cul-
ture and character, will necessarily
tend to strengthen the cause of de-
cency and morality. Realizing this,
is it possible that there are people
in town, who would rather see the
interests Of Falls City decline than
give mp their pet ideas?
The Falls City tribune., 1910-06-24
"Stick To It, Dad.

Editor of The Falls City Tribune
Dear Sir:-EXeept by reputation,you
and | are entire strangers; but in
spite of this fact. | take the liberty
to send you the following:
In the Falls City News recently, I
saw the statement: Bryan is actuat
ed in his opposition to the saloon
by the fact that they defeated him
in his several campaigns for presi-
dent"
This reminds me of the story of
the family which had a pup of the
fighting breed, and, having no other
dog with which the pup could prac-
tice fighting with, the boys induced
the father to try his ability along
that line While the pup was chew
ing the the sire, the boys yelled,
"Stick to it dad It's hard on you,
but it's the making of the pup"
Evidently the News appreciates the
fact that it was hard on Bryan but
was the making of the breWeries
and distilleries It took Bryan and
Kern a long time to find out that
you couldn't gather grapes of thorns,
nor figs of thistles."
The brayest thing | ever saw was
from a penitent at the altar. He
said, THANK God | have the cour-
age to give up" Hoping we may
yet be able to clear the saloon from
the reform track, | am
Yours Respectfully,
GEO WATKINS.
