NEBRASKA SHOULD ADVERTISE

NEBRASKA SHOULD ADVERTISE.
Governor Aldrich in a speech at
Lincoln the other night advocated a
legislative appropriation for advertis.
ing Nebraska. This is in line with
movement which was set on foot al.
most year ago in Norfolk, and it is
in line with modern business methods.
II Nebraska is to gain her fair pro.
portion Of population, judicious ad.
vertising of the states resources must
be done and the people of Nebraska
will have something charged up to
the present legislature If that body
fails to meet this demand.
There is complaint because farmers
are flocking to Texas and TO Canada
Complaint, however. won't prevent
the emigration. Only the right kind
Of advertising can overcome this
movement, or, rather, bring about a
similar immigration for this state.
Nebraska is a state OF great posi-
bilities, not nearly so thickly settled
as its rich lands would justify. But
the people looking for locations OF
this kind don't know the facts.
The state could well afford to ap
propriate 100000 for advertising pur
poses, and if it fails to appropriate 2
good portion of that amount, we car
be classed as back numbers.

THE s O'CLOCK SALOON LAW

L NE . ~ ILOSh SAlooN LA w.
The proposed amendment to the
Nebraska 8 o'clock saloon closing law,
which would permit cities of over
5000 population to decide at what
hour of the night their saloons should
close, will not find favor with the
people OF Nebraska. The bill will
not find support in even the cities Of
over 5000, unless it be in Omaha.
Nebraska people now feel that they
have q pretty good saloon regulation
law. The saloonkeepers, themselves.
are well satisfied with the law as it
stands today. And to so amend the
present statute as to give cities of
over 5000 option as to whether or
not they should live up to the exist
ing law or extend the time limit for
saloon closing, would merely precipi-
tate an everlasting local row between
the early" closing faction and the
Tate" closers.
It Is easy to contemplate the bit.
terness which such an amendment to
the law would inject into municipal
campaigns. The whole fitness of a
man for office would come to be meas.
ured by the view he took of the sa.
loon closing hour.
There Is perhaps no better liquor
regulation anywhere than in Nebras-
ka right now. And the liquor inter
ests, themselves, ought to have learn
ed by the narrow escape they just
sustained over county option, that
they'd be wise to let we'll enough
