Conditions in Nebraska. In Nebraska the conditions are much the same as in Kansas. The fusionists, after finding early in the campaign that even their own constituents regarded the silver and free trade issues as dead, have been floundering from pillar to post on the new issues, attempting to attract the attention of their followers from the prosperity that has resulted from the present national policies.

FROM SERMONS QF YESTEROA Day Observed in.‘Many Churches of the District. ie PLANS: DISCUSSED ee EE SOME The Episcopal convention now in progress hare znd the annual conventions to which most of the pastors of the Christian denomi- nation and most of the Lutheran and Bap- tist ministers report, it is understood, pre- vented temperance sermons yesterday in many of the cnurches which usually make faycrable response to all invitations of the Anti-Saloon League. The anniversary of the Central Union Mission is said to have been another obstacle in the way of general ob- servance. An carly request was sent by that organization to all the pastors to preach that day on home mission work. The day was observed, however, as temper- ance Sunday in many of the churches throughout the District.. In the absence of both pastors, Mr. An- drew Wilson, D. C. L., filled the pulpit of Vermont Avenue Christian Church in the morning and that of the Ninth Street Chris- and tian Church at the evening service, spoke against the saloon on both oc In the Vermont Avenue pulpit he sui part: “"By their fruits ye shall know them,’ i the universal test. The handwriting upon the wall. All Christian, moral patriotic principles and foress are saying to the saloon, ‘Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting. It is the most powerful promoter of immoraiity, indecency, vice, crime, poverty, suffering, cont=ntion, corruption and Se tke despoils the saloon keeper and saloon fre- quenter—the one of moral y self-1 spect and of life, while it fills his coffe with ill-gotten gains; the other it d-bases, robs of mind, body, soul. home. friends and substance. The individual, the family, the church, the community, the state and the race are poisoned. The saloon keeper is to be pitied. It does not appear how any man can be allied with the liquor in- terest and be a Christian or patriot. To develop strongly the moral and spiritual life of the boys and girls of this generation will materially ald in saving the men and women of the next from the allursments of vice.” President McKinley's Pastor. At Metropolitan Methodist Church the pastor, Rev. F. M. Db. D., took as his evening theme ‘The Tem- perance Situation,” and said with referene2 to the liquor traffic “The liquor business 1s inimical to the physical, Intellectual and moral welfare of society. It has ever been the corrupt2r of races and the destroyer of nations. If there is any power that serfously threatens the perpetuity of this republic, that power is not the intrigues of demagogues, the of aristocracy and cerporative wealth, nor the ercroachments of tmperialism, but the enslaving, bestializing saloon. “There is not another ev! human happiness and national prosper! which meets with so feeble and co a resistance. We have rigid laws against the Canada thistle, and woe to him who plants it or sows its &°ed' or even tolerat its growth, because ft isthe enemy of the soll and a destroyer of the -useful products of the earth. But we Ucense men to plant the tares of habit and dissipation and crime in socisty and to sow the seeds of sorro poverty and shame in the American home. We legislate against: the:sparrow, for ne fights the robin and eats-the cherries, but we Hicense the vultur> of strong drink to tear out the heart of, maphood and the vi- tals of the republic. .We legislate against smoke nuisance and garbage nuisance and dirt nuisance, but the saloon nuisanc2, in- finitely more dangerous to the public health and comfort, is licensed to carry on its in- famous trade. It is time for all temper- ance people to form an alliance merging their non-2ssential opinfons {nto one great universal conviction which shall become public sentiment, law-making and law-exe- cuting in its power.” At Friends’ Meeting. At Friends’ Meeting (Orthodox), in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, Prof. Robert B. Warder applied Dr. Strong’s plan for young people’ Christian soctetizs to lecal conditions, as follows: “A representative body of pastors and other public men may watch the progress of seform legislation and judge the oppor- tcene moment for a. flood of petitions from ‘sidents of the District on behalf of spe- cific legislation. In a single day, if need- ful, a few thousand young canvassers, with lines of action well marked out in advanc (as in the Sunday school canvass of 1807 could visit every house in the District to set forth th+ question at issue and ask for a written expression of individual choice. It may be needful to distribute petition blanks with explanatory leaflet one day and Gather the petitions the next. Th? same method may be applied to single squares where nses are requested, mak- ing it as possibl: for residents to unite in remonstrance.” The Unitarian Minister. Rey. E. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of All Souls’ Church, announced as his morning subject, “A Temperance Sermon,” and said, in part: “There are many things we can all do to help men to temperance. We can offer every facility for education, for cleanlines: for well-cooked food—many children get a taste for alcohol in the sour brcad they eat —for well-ventilated dwellings, for whole- some amusement. I seldom touch alcohol in any form, but I am neither a prohi- bitionist nor a believer that every form of alcohol is a poison from hell; but I do be- lieve the saloon door, wherever found, is an entrance way to perdition. It is these fer- mented loafing places called saloons that tempt men and destroy them. Allow but one dealer in liquors of any sort to the square half mile; allow none of it to be drunk on the premises; make drunkenness a crime, punishable by imprisonment and labor, provide attractive places where those who must otherwise sit in a bare room or Walk the streets may go and play billiards or bowl or practice rifle shootirg, and have light refreshments cheap and good, and you will have done more for temperance than all the speechifying about the total aboli- tion of alcohol will ever do. “There are men smoking or chewing themselves tc death, cating themselves into dyspepsia, or drinking themselves bilious with coffee and hystericatzwith tea, who are making life miserable for,their families and friends by these excesses, and yet who claim the name temperance. We have not learned the alphabet of Success in dealing with the matter yet. :It isithe men we must change, and we must do that by practical and practicable methods." In Congregational Paipits. Rey. M. Ross FishBurn,‘at the Mt. Pleas- ant Congregational @hurch, spoke upon the “Good Fight of Faith,” and referred es- pecially to the offensive warfare in which the soldiers of the! cross must engage against the frowning strongholds of the enemy, emphasizing ithe need of untiring attack upon the drinking saloon. “Other evils,” said_he, “have slain their thousands, strong drink has slain its hun- dreds of thousands. We must engage in this contest as real soldiers and fighters, ready not only to suffer, but to do, or we may as well give up the business for which our forces have m recruited and or- poised: Our enemy is sleepless; we must sleepless, too. It 1s so easy to remain our respectable places and let the few ithful, who are not afraid to be called fanatics, march out against the foe.” At Lincon Memorial tional Church Rev. A. P.

No doubt you have all seen our new building. Big as it is, it was overcrowded with shoe buyers all day Saturday. The sales were the largest in our history. Why did all these people flock to us in the face of the ap- parently futile efforts of would-be competitors? Because they know our shoes are always reliable. otice how the words “Reliable Shoes” continually crop out. They are at the top of our building, over our doors, and pervade our advertising. They are the keystone to our success. They are literally true as ap- plied to our shoes. ‘ - We cater to the shoe wants of everybody.
