TnERE does not seem to bo a decreas
ing need of hades with tho increasing
number of thoso who do not have faith
in its existence
Eveuy now and then the grim reaper
must do a stunt in which he can take
the liveliest satisfaction For instance
when he made a harpist of that fool
Kansas farmer who ato fifty ears of corn
in one day and died in one short night
The republicans of tho Fifth congres
sional district have put up a candidate
for congress of which they may well bo
proud and he will win Judge Norris
wins approval on sight and that ap
proval grows into approbation upon
further acquaintaintance Clay Center

Who is Judgo Norris wo aro asked
He is tho fellow that carried the 14th
judicial district for judge by 400 majori
ity A clean vigorous able man clear
cut a vote getter With the district
1701 republican at the last election it is
safe to predict that while he is Judge
Norris now he will be Congressman Nor
ris after November 4 1902 Alma Jour

The matter issued under authority of
tho railroads of Nebraska may not prove
all the railroads hope to show but the
exhibit clearly indicates that Nebraska
has about as rotten a system of assess
ment as tho ingenuity of man can well
devise But it is not new to anyone and
tho papers of Nebraska to the writers
knowledge ior two decades have in
veighed against it without appreciable
effect There seems to be at least two
actions beyond the intelligence and pa
triotism of Nebraska voters Firstly to
pass an amendment to the states archaic
constitution and secondly to enforce its
assessment law
What this state wants now is a con
gressional delegation composed of states
men and it appears that the republican
nominees so far are well up to the stand
ard required Burket McCarty Norris
Kinkaid and Hinshaw are all the kind
of men an energetic young state like
Nebraska ought to send to Congress and
keep there as long as they do well The
little old states of the Atlantic sea board
amount to something in congress because
they seldom change congressmen and
their representatives are old hands at
tho business and are onto the ropes
Theres merit in the idea Fairfield

To Call Sinners to Repentance
Perhaps the man who attracted most
attention about the Lindell last evening
was Judge G W Morris of the Fifth
district Mr Norris is a young man
with a frank and open countenance and
a handshake that melts even an op
ponent He is serving his second term
on the bench in the Fourteenth district
He has been in politics for several years
not because he sought offices but be
cause offices sought him After serving
two terms as prosecuting attorney of
Furnas county he was called to the
bench Both positions he has filled with
such satisfaction that even his political
opponents respect him and so express
themselves when it comes to exercising
the privilege of franchise That he is a
campaigner of no mean ability is evi
denced by the way in which he sweeps
strong fusion strongholds Hero is the
sample of the humor of the man When
called on to make a few remarks at the
meeting of republican committeemen
and candidates last night he said
I take it that my mission this fall is
not to save the righteous but to call sin
ners to repentance I dont think any
ono here need salvation
Morlan was beaten in the Fifth by
Shallenberger two years ago by only 109
votes Shallenberger has been renomi
nated but it is believed that Norris can
overcome the adverse majority Lincoln
