1 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1915. THE LINCOLN DAILY STAR. SEVEN Points Out Where City Has I Been Neglecting Opportunity i To Grow Rapidly. Parks, Boulevards and Indus- I tries Necessary To Attract People Here. Jacob Bauer Tells How He Was Relieved Of Rheumatism By Tanlac.

1 If Lincoln wants to enjoy a growth End development in the future, she must fix up her parks and her boulevards, and make conditions so attractive that homeseekers will be induced here in preference to any other city. That is the crying need at the present time, according to Mark Woods in sin address Tuesday noon before the Lincoln Rotary club. When people began to let well enough alone two dozen years ago, the remarkable development of the city was arrested; the only way to restore it, he said, is to no longerJiesitate while opportunity is knocking at the gate. His Address, "Why Is Lincoln Map?" follows: Because our fathers were wise-enough to know the one thing that built cities was railroads, and they paid and save anything within reason to induce railroads to build in and out If it was depot switch yards or streets for industry tracks, they gladly donated them. If it recurred a bond issue, they voted them without question.

That they were wise no one today will dispute. Xne bond issues they voted twenty to thirty years ago are being paid todtjy without hardship. It was the foresight and willingness to go after things in a big way, of the generation before us' thnt placed Lincoln on the map. Change of Policy to Blame. Why has not Lincoln 200,000 population? Simply because the people who followed the pioneers who located Lincoln and who gave freely to get roads and public institutions here, changed their policy and thought Lincoln -was big enough and had enough advantages to attract population and business regardless of conditions.

many of the older residents of Lincoln know, the original stock yards and packing houses in the state of JNe- braska were located at West Lincoln, and a wonderful business sprang up. many people were given employment and it was made the market of all the live stock for hundreds of miles around. Some of the larger of the eastern packers then came to those who had control of the destinies Lincoln and West Lincoln and asked that they be given certain bonuses land or" money to locate addition.il packing houses. These people, feeling they had done enough and that the packing center could not go elsewhere, flatly rfefnsed, and the result is, instead of the thousands of people who make up South Omaha-and the buzz of the wheels of industry that are heard in that thriving packing center. have nothing but prairie and no sound but the whispering of the wind, rnd poor West Lincoln sleeps anrt dreams of might have been.

It Is too late for Lincoln to be a packing center, but no doubt our packing house will do well here, and I believe some day we will build up another institution like Worrell's, but a packing tenter we will never be. Opportunity rame a knocked at We were sleeping and did not awake, and Bur opportunity is forever lost to us. Opportunity Still Waits. The United States census report tells ns the population of the United States Aoultled seventeen years. Now, tome people think Lincoln has done mighty -uell but let's get right down to the baie 'facts.

Has the a i 1 et Lincoln doubled since 1898? It has Wi'l it double in the next seventeen years? It will, if' when oppor- i knocks we bid her welcome. Wa cannot hope to get many more railroads, we cannot hope for a great packing center, although we are in the enter of the greatest live stock country in the world. We will continue to prow ns ,1 jobbing center, and we vill acquire factories that can produce articles that must be sold within 150 or 200 miles of Lincoln, but the grent growth must come to Lincoln, if it conies at all. by making it so attract- K'e with boulevards, driveways, parks a.nd grounds, with schools and "Tanlac has made a man of me," said Jacob Bauer, well known barber. "I was ill for months with rheumatism and suffered intense pain and was unable to sleep at night.

On damp days the rheumatic pains were -so severe that I could hardly walk. I lost flesh and strength and had very little appetite. The nervousness often caused headaches and I suffered the most -excruciating pain. was under the care of a. doctor for months, but did not improve.

I also tried almost every known kind of proprietary medicine which was claimed to be beneficial for my trouble, but continued to grow -worse. "Finally I saw Tanlac advertised and decided to try it. I began improving' from the first dose. taking the medicine for a few days I felt better than I had in months. When I had finished the bottle I knew that I was in a condition where no more medicine of any kind was needed.

Tanlac fits mv case exactly and I am glad to recommend it to others suffering as I was." Tanlac was designed especially to So direct to the seat of the very trouble, and the fame 'of the medicine is spreading to the most remote sections of the country. It is now being sold in Lincoln at the Harley Drug 1101 street Don't forget to stop in and get a copy of the Tanlac Times. --Advertisement. churches and a good transportation system that will attract the people from our state who are just now entering the leisure class. There are many farmers and business men out over the state who have acquired a competence that will support them without labor.

Thousands of them, within the next five years, move to some larger city, where they can have more social advantages for their children, where their children can attend the very schools and theatres, and where they can get all the luxuries of a modern, up-to-date city. If we procrastinate and put off furnishing these luxuries, other cities will beat us to it and reap this great golden harvest we are justlv entitled to. Kansas City in the past year has voted eight million dollars for park and boulevard purposes. I'l fact, there is not a city the size of Lincoln in the whole United States that has not already spent fifty times as much money for parks as we haio, or is today rectifying their mistake as fast as men and money can do it. Big Men Setting Example.

The up-to-date city can no more expect a groat increase in population without giving all these comforts aii'l luxuries than can a retail dry goods concern expect to hold and increase i business without giving to its patrons not only good goods at right prices but every luxury, such as well ventilated rooms, cool in summer, warm in inter, rest rooms, restaurants fast elevators, etc. In fact, they are made just as attractive-as money ant pains can make them. A great many people say, "Let well enough That is not what the First Nationa 1 bank did it built its new building; that is not what J. E. Miller did when he built his building, and that is not what Rudge Guenzel are doing when they are acquiring land for a new building.

In fact, that is no' what any of the modern business firm 1 arc doing today, but it is just wh.i Lincoln did do when wo bad the op portnnity to have the pricking interest of tho corn belt a part of the city i Lincoln. It is just what Lincoln wil do if -ne fail now to-do our part to ac ciuire more parks, more playground and build more boulevards. City Is Penurious.

We have a mothe power in the automobile that, if given a permanent track to run on, will double the possibiliticb of Lincoln as a retail center. Since we completed our new high school--and right here I want to take my hat off to Mr. Feiguson and the school board for taking the bull by the horns and building one of tha finest buildings of its kind in the country--and since the state is expanding and spending a million or more dollars on our university, it seems our school Of being a boy is in eating with a boy's hearty appetite.

With the adding of more boulevards and paved roads and i the present good system ot transportation in tin- city we i hc to take Care ol these problems.

The one great ciy- need in Lincoln today i.s paiks pUij grounds, and we certainly acquire Capital beach while have the opportunity. Beach a Necessity. First: Because it is a necessary and desirable part of our park system. This is the judgment of every jiai expert who has been to Lincoln. Much of the preliminary work of making it a park has been done.

The tiecs are of good size, all necessary buildings are in place and in good condition, a salt water pool is built and a splendid lake is there ready for use. It'is not a question oC waiting five or ten years for It to 'develop into a park; it is ready for the pcopl to enjoy now. Second: The beach can be purchased at the right price. Not the price that the owners think is right, but the price at which a commissipn. appointed by the city council fixes as a proper figure.

This will not exceed $100,000, and will very likely bo some less. Third: The beach 1ms been developed as a pleasure resort and this means that its purchase will provide appliances that make it an ideal playground for the children as well a splendid resort everybody else. The great big thing at the beach in more senses than one is the lake. Its possibilities for enjoyment havo scarcely been touched. It can be made the center of a new kind of healthful activity, new to this section.

Lincoln is the only inland city with a lake of this size. With a tree gate, motor boating, canoeing, s'bulling, rowing- and all forms of water sports will be encouraged. With the lake municipally owned the boys will have what has been denied them in the past, a fine fishing place where something besides catfish and bullheads and carp can be snared. There will bo room on its broad embankments for tiotie.ges tents where the humblest of our citizens can find a summer outing at the minimum of cost. Fits in With Better Lincoln.

Fourth: The purchase of the beach is recommended because it fulfills another necessity of parks, ease of access. It is no further from the congested population district than is Antelope park, and with a double track street railway reaching it--the increased use as a city park justifying the double tracking--it will be even more easy of access than is Antelope park. Park development a city does not moan centering activity in one section of the city. The city has a tremendously fine asset in Antelope park, and ita development is certain. Her people now have an opportunity that will not soon occur again to take over another well developed park, with a lake attachment, at their own price on their own terms.

'Capital Beach fits in well with every well conceived plan of park enlargement In Lincoln. The objection that for a short distance 'the car lino passes through a neglected part of the city will not long exist. Paving and tree planting and the substitution of a garbage destructor plant for the dump, projects now all under way, will remove that. It might also ba pointed the most popular beach with the common folks In Seattle Is reached by a car line that goes through a permanent factory and lumber that city. The man on the street car can reach Capital beach as easily and an pleasantly as the automoblllst.

Fifth: The purchase of the beach will not Increase taxes a cent. This does not, of eom-se, mean that, its acquisition will cost nothing. Kach taxpayer now pays three mills yearly to the campus extension fund and tno beach proposition, If it if approved. will mean tiie continuation of this levy for the necessary poi'incl. "The first cost will be spread er a number ol years nnd Ilia maintenance ex- pen.su can, under proper miinnBcmont, be i the proceeds of whatever concession are decided upon as proper necessary.
