aldermen are giving II the most careful

for retail licenses and the four who seek
wholesale permits much surprise was
occasioned by not finding the name Of

saloonman in Council Bluffs, who has
for more than twenty-five years made
an ,unremitdng effort to comply with
the states liquor laws. He has never

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 16.-(spe-

taking the photograph OF the commits
soners' banquet at Eagles hall last night
was followed by a fire in the paper dec
orations.
At first only one or two paper ribbons
were Attire The photographer and one or
two others near him were tearing these
down and crushing out the little flames.
But the ribbons crossed each other. and
soon festoon OF them was afire, and a
number Of others I'm the extreme rear of
the hall arose to aid in tearing down the
rest of the paper decorations. At the
speakers table in the front of the hall.
Governor Adrich, Mayor Ryan. and
others urged everyone to remain seated,
the orchestra finally struck up a new
air and in a few minutes all danger was
avoided. Only those who had done so
to help remove the burning paper, had
arisen from their seats
After a fine repast President Kennedy
of the state association, as POSTMASTER,
introduced Mayor c. G. Ryan of this city.
The speakers were in addition to Mayor
Ryan, Senator Placek, Representative

to the subject the Fremont editor and

of where our government is-not so much
in the capitol and department buildings

Governor AldTich spoke of the. great op-

BUSINESS MEN IN poI,ITICs

Among the things the National Bust
ness Mems Congress In session at Chi
cago emphasized particularly and tried
to Impress on the interests represent
ed in the body. was that tho country
needed moro business men In politics.
and more systematic interest in and
attention to politics on tho part OF
trained business men"
1t was recognized that there never
could be business party in politics.
because business men arc not necessarily
In agreement in respect of vital politi-
cal issues. and happily SO perhaps
But. to the business world, good and
economical government are as vital
as they are TO any other class-more
vital possibly, 1t was argued.
The Chicago Record Herald conours
most heartily in these business doc
trincs." and accentuates them forcibly
when II says that "mores active parti-
cipation of public spirited, high-mi
ed business men in politics cannot fail
TO make for efficiency and candor in
~ iOE IN PUBIC cS-
pcnditures. for the extension of merit
service. for constructive thinking. for
sanity and sense in legislation that
affects settled business conditions"
We commend the deliverances of the

in the matter Of launching our new
form of city government and selecting
the men who shall administer it.
On the practical interest our busl-
ness men take in these questions will
depend largely in how far the change
Will work out to the hest advantage
and realize the immense possibilities

1T will come. and not tarry." and
though 1t should tarry, We must wait
for 1t.
Wait-now. think OF the full force
of that word; consider what II Inn
plies. First and chiefest. 1t must DC
an act of faith. II you do not believe
that your friend is coming to visit
you, you will not wait for him. you
VIII not postpone your meal for in
stance, till his arrival, but you will 60
on as you usually do. without him.
But other things besides belief arc
contained in that act of waiting; YOU
VIII llsten for him. look out for him.
go forth, it may be. to meet him, pre-
pare to receive him, and so welcome
him. II waiting for an earthly friend
implies all this, can It be less where
Christ the Judge of quick and dead is
concerned? Let your loins be girded
about, and your lights burning; and
yc yourselves like unto men that wait
Tor their Lord. that when lie cometh
and knockcth. they may open unto Him
Immediately. BLESSED are those SER
wants whom the Lord. when lie com
eth, shall find Watching"
But again. look at that work of
waiting from another point look at IL
as the certain forerunner OF some
event, though the time OF that event
Is doubtful. The suspense Of such
waiting is always held to be the most
terrible trial to which any of us are
exposed.
To walt then, implies both hope and
rear And IL any one has neither
hope nor fear in any strong degree,
with respect to the day of Judgment,
such person may be quite sure that
he Is not waiting for the Lords sec
ond coming, as apostles would have
us walt. The final day may not come
for a hundred or thousand years. No,
But death will be upon each of us long
before that. And death will most as
surcdly be the coming of the Lord to
the soul OF every man that dies.
1t is our own fault II We only con-
template that coming with dismay.
Not in that spirit would the apostles
have lis look at 1t, who babe us wait
for the Son of God, from heaven.
Whom He raised from the dead, even
Jesus. which delivered us from the
wrath to come"
