THE FALLS Cl'l Y TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY 3 , 1908
Now and Then
We do not want it understood
that vfc arc members of the
knockers club , nor do we care
to assume the altitude of one
who delights in saying unkind
things of others , but we did
mean what we said about the
wolf hunt. The writer cf this
likes sport as well as anyone.
A day in .Tune isn't in it with
the joys of a snappy fall day. a
marshy Hat , a good gun and a
good Might of ducks. Bui , it
isin't sport to turn a pack of
hounds on a domesticated wolf
that doesn't fear you enough to
run , and that wants to play
with the dogs. We do not be
lieve the performance will ever
be repeated in Kails City , and
we know many of the partici
pants in the chase well enough
to feel sure that they do not
want to repeat it.
If the way subscriptions have
been coming into the Tribune is
any criterion as to the money
situation the country has never
been as prosperous ns it is now.
For the past two weeks our
cashier has been kept busy
writing receipts and entering
new names on our books.Ve
have subscribers who have paid
up until JJH1 , and many who
have paid two and three years
in advance. Hereafter all sub
scriptions will beat the rate of
Sl.fiO a year , this price will not
be deviated from under any cir.
cumstanccs. We feel that the
paper is well worth this sum.
and we know that we cannot
print it at a profit for any less.
So far we have not had a
single complaint because ol the
increase which shows that the
spirit of live and let live is
abroad in the land.
One of the most remarkable
revolutions this country has
ever seen is the growth of the
prohibition sentiment. Out o
the eighty million Americai
citizens more than thirty mil
lions nre living in prohibitioi
communities. Not long since
the saloon vote was absolutely
essential to the success ol the
politician , today both of the
great parties are consulting the
advisability of making pro
hibition a national issue. The
state of Kentucky , the home of
southerncoloncls [ anddistillt ries
has but live "wet'1 counties.
The southern states are rapidly
becoming prohibition and
the influence of their example
is pervading the north. The
prediction is freely made that
within five years Nebraska will
fall in line. We may expect a
big fight on this issue in the
spring election and the result is
more in doubt than ever before.
The condition of our light
plant is about as bad as it
could be and run at all. The
streets are dark at night and
the indoor service lacks a great
deal of perfection. The em-
ployecs at the plant are doing t
everything possible to make
things go , but the } ' are in
momentary terror of something
going wrong. The mayor and
council are anxious to fix things
up but no money is available
and the bonds are not sold.
There are at least six men in
Falls City who could well
alTord to buy these bonds , but
the men who could ar.e the men
who won't. They know their
business better than we do , but
itm
it looks to a man up a tree like
a little more public spirit in
certain quarters would be a
good thing for everybody con
cerned.

Unsportsmanlike
At Kails Oity on OhriHlmtiK day
there was nn inhuman and un-
sportsmanlike alleged wolf drive.
The wolves hnd bren tamed and
! i
| dom 'Hliratt'd and they didn't know
i ' how tn run or fight and the dogs ate
one up while the mob spirit in the
crowd vented itself in yells at. tlie
Bhnmefnl flight. ' The other one
wouldn't run and it WDM killed niul
then drilled by n li'irsfiiiim thru
the BlreetH followed bv lioiimls and
other horsemen on the mvul. It
wns displace to every IDMII eon-
eerned and disgusting to every
ppeetator with a drop of common
decency. TIP ! wolf at no time had'
a livilitino : I'hamv IIH didn't know
how to light. Might jupt as well
have offered up a pef dog or a
sliet-p for a run. Hiawatha World.
The business world tinds the
reports ot li o 1 i d a y trade
throughout the United States
decidedly reassuring. A few
weeks ago it was feared that
the purchase of Christmas
specialties would show a mark
ed falling off and that the un
rest due to the financial strain-
ency would mean heavy losses
for the merchants. But the re.
turn of confidence has been
steady for many days and this
has been reflected in the
gradual improvement of the
holiday trade. Last week it
was almost up to the usual
standard and the merchants of
the country are in far better
spirits than the } ' were a month
ago. This is a hopeful sign for
I everybody. With the people
in their present state of mind
I the complete restoration ol con.
| fidence will be a matter of only
i a few weeks. The business
; world itself is all right today.
When the people let go of their
money as freely as they were in
the habit of doing , the "hard
times" will be but a memory.

cording t o the Boston Herald.
During the reeent Mississippi
gubernatorial campaign the Hon.
erable Jeff Truly was one of the
unsuccessful aspirants for the ma
jority suffrage of his fellow-citi
zens. Prohibition doctrines figur
ed in the struggle and seemed I i
very important to a Methodist j
minister. l
"Brother Truly , "said the nun- !
ister , "J want to ask you a ques- ,
tion. Do you ever take a drink I
of whiskey ? " i
" 13efo' 1 answer that question , ' ' |
responded the wary Brother Truly , ! j i
"I want to know whether it in an j I
inquiry or nn invitation. "
Jt would be easier for the Re-
publiean party if , like the Demo-
crutie party , it had only one avail

among so many good ones it m

A farmer in a nearby county ,
while in a generous frame of
mind , gave his daughter alien
and a rooster and bade her run
away and be a good girl , prom
ising her that if she would look
after them he would feed the
increase for four years. The
girl , as it were , planted those
two chickens and the results , '
according to her father's report
is astonishing. He says she
has $151 in the bank and has 200
chickens which he had to feed
last winter. According to the J.
farmer's best calculations , his
daughter will own the farm at
the enl of lour years and will
be charging him rent for living
on it.
