The World-Herald IIHH received an-
othi-r letter from Pat Orowo. Evidently
either the paper or Mr. Crown are very
anxious to keep the sensation alivo. It
lookn very much as though the follow
posing IXH the kidnnper wan kept handy
to supply the paper's neodn on occasions.
Bomo of the little pop gnu fiihiou
organs appear positively ridiculous in
tlioir infantile eU'ortH to criticise President -
dent Hoosovolt before that gentleman
has tairly assumed the duties of hiH po-
hition. Their efforts are too Hilly to bo
accorded oven the dignity of prejudice.
The World-Humid appears to bo about
the only paper in the Htato with a pen
chant for sensational campaigning. It
has evidenced an ability to dig up Homo-
thing disugrocablo about republican
candidates in every campaign , liut its
efforts have no often proven fnkeH that
it in doubted if its stories are believed
by uuyonO.
TIIK NKWB republishes from the Mad
isou Chronicle nu nrtlelo headed , "Are
you a tax payer ? " which shows that
under the adminiHtrntion of Phil 13nuoh ,
the ollico of county olork has never boon
BO economically operated as during the
pnst two years. Mr. 13auch ban done
mom work and at less expense than any
comity olork who has held the otHee
during the pnst years. This is a record
that causes Mr. Hauoh to stand well
with the tax payers ; and will go a long
wnys toward re-electing him.
The World-Herald takes pleasure in
mdicatinglsomo of whom it choose s to
believe are Hartley'H benelloiarius. Why
doesn't it disclose nil ? Perhaps tluru
nro democrats in the wood pile whom it
hopes to Hhield. State history may pos
Bibly sliow that there are a few demo
crat io thieves in the state and there
might perhaps bo more if they had been
given greater opportunity.
When Put Crowe is arraigned ho should
bo Riven an opportunity to plead his
cause with regard to the case of Miss
Stone. A man as omnipresent as the
Omaha papers have made Crowo may
well bo suspected of operating in Turkey
nud Bulgaria , or ho may at least bo
charged with having organized n kid-
uapor'n trust with that fl'fi.OOO and the
liberty ho has enjoyed to put it in
execution.
The sugar trust has less ground
to stand on in the estimation of the
American people than any other trust
or alleged trust. The Standard oil
trust , the steel trust and other largo or
ganizations employ American material
and American labor almost exclusively
while the product of the sugar trust is
foreign and all U seeks to control is
the refining business and the market to
exclusion of the American product.
The sugar trust should bo the last to ex
pect the support and sympathy of the
American people.
More people might be induced toplant
trees if they had a place to plant them.
.Miiiy persons who recognize the
value and beauty of trees own no prop
erty and frequently owners of land have
no appreciation of trots and will not
plant. If some method could be devised
whereby every town or city could own
n piece 01 properly mat iingm bo con
verted into a grove or forest the citi/.ens
would undoubtedly undertake to see
that it was planted to trees and that
they should bo preserved. Too frequently
property owners fail to plant trees be
cause they fear that the ground they oc
cupy will bo needed for gardens , for
farming , pastures or meadow , and fail
to recognize that a plot devoted to trees
increuK.B the value of all their acres.
It is easy to become rich if you only
know howjind anyone can become a
Morgan or a Rockefeller if good judge
ment is exercised. For instance : sup
pose you build a IIOUHO to rent and save
the rent. In a few years you would
have money enough to build another
house and tlum double your Income and
l > e able to build another house to rent.
In another yinr or two from the three
houses you would soon Nave enough to
build another and in time you could bo
using your Income in building a house
every month or every day with a few
busincHH blocliH and barns thrown in ;
then you could buy a railroad , a couple
of Kteel factories , and a sugar trust or
two. Pshaw , its very easy if you only
know how. We'd do it oursolf only
that we would diidiko to ho worried by
the rcHpoiiNihllilli'H imposed. All you
have to guard against IH failure and see
that your Income connects.
The republican precinct ticket HH ( in
well with what ln\H been done by the
state and the county and a good ticket
is presented for the consideration of the
voters of t lie product. H. U. Hruoggo-
man , candidate for assessor , has served
the people in various capacities faith
fully , frequently without pay and with
few thanks. Ho is an old resident of
the city , understandH property values
and will servo the people well in the
pohition to which ho IIIIH been nomi
nated. H. W. Hayes lias for years
served the people as jtiHtice of the peace
and his administration of that ollico lias
been generally satisfactory. O. V.
IClNoloy , candidate for the other justice ,
is an old time resident of the city and
no one questions his ability to ndminis-
tor the law with justice to litigants. J.
M. Covert and W. H. Livingston for
constables are not untried experiments
and will transact ( lie business of tlioir
ollico promptly and thoroughly. Win.
Huusuh for road overseer in district No ,
8 and Ernst Boldt for distriut No. 1 , are
all right and as they seem to have no
opposition , will undoubtedly bo elected.
Norfolk and north NobraMm have a
loyal friend in Senator Young of Stan-
ton. While attending the grand lodge
Knights of Pythian at Lincoln this week
ho was ontorviowed by a State Journal
reporter , the result of the interview ,
printed in Tuesday's issue , is given :
"Senator Young miid lust night that ho
believed the state would recognize the
needs of the northern part of the Htato
and permit the asylum to bo rebuilt
there. Ho thought the people could
not afford to antagonize this legitimate
request. The property intaot at Nor
folk would bo lost if any other course
were pursued. In opposition to the nr
gument that a centralized institution to
care for the insane would bo bonollcial ,
ho advanced that bettor results wore secured -
cured by competition of institutions of
this character. Under the present sys
tem it is possible to compare results ob
tained in different places while if all
wore together abuses might rise up in
the way of expenditures that would
never bo checked. Senator Young be
lieved that a bitter feeling against the
south Platte territory and Lincoln es
pecially would result if the asylum were
taken away from Norfolk. "
II. L. Goold , republican candidate
for regent of the state university , has
withdrawn from the race because of the
attack made upon him through the
World-Herald. Ho explained that a
bank in which ho was stock-holder had
$1,000 of stale money on deposit during
Hartley's term of ollico and the bank
failed during the panic of IStKl. Mr.
Goold alleges that the account was
liquidated at the rate-of f > 0 cents on the
dollar and declares that ho holds Hart
ley's receipt for $500. While this does
not look like n steal or a hold-up , Mr.
Goold undoubtedly realizes that the
World-Herald and other sensational
state papers will make the mole hill
into n mountain if ho remains on the
ticket , and rnthor than embarrass the
republican party by giving them that
opportunity ho ohoosea to withdraw. It
is probable that the state lost no more
in the failure of Mr. Goold's bank than
a number of individual depositors , but
the World-Herald and others of its ilk
would choose to make it appear .that n
great crime was done the state , while
the loss to the stockholders and others
connected with the bank was considered
merely an unavoidable misfortune. It
is of such petty issues that the demo
cratic campaign is composed.
The World-Herald , that very consis
tent paper of and for the common
people , has more than hinted that H. L.
Goold , republican candidate for regent
of the state university , is a beneficiary
ofjtho Hartley defalcation ; that he bor
rowed $1,000 of the state school money
in 18'JU and failed to royay it. If the
charge is true the World-Herald should
be Mr. Goold's earnest supportor. A
paper that would commend Hartley's
escape from punishment should certainly
have no objection to ono of his benefi
ciaries gaining olllce. But a republican
party that saw that justice was meted
out to Hartley ; that caused the gover
nor to put him back in prison ; that
favors honesty and uprightness in high
places , will undoubtedly see to it that
the people are not imposed upon in this
instance in fact Chairman Lindsay has
already taken stops to investigate the
charges and Mr. Goold's name will bo
withdrawn if they are substantiated.
Experience has proven , however , that
( ho World-Herald's stories nro not in-
( idlabiu and that frequently it has been
determined that its boiiMUlunal charges
are iaked , nnd in thu Interests of one
man's character , if not the MICCOJS of
the party , it is Io bo hoped that this
htatomont will bo proven false. The
people should understand that no dis
honesty will bo tolerated by republicans
where they can prevent. The candi
dates must IK ) worthy the confidence of
the people and [ therefore true republi
cans
The World-Herald continues to insist
that Treasurer Stuefer's ' failure to ac
count for a considerable portion of the
state money in his control is an IKHUO of
this c'impalgn. The World-Horald's
first and vital mistake is in its assuinp
tion that Mr. Stuofur is the republican
party. It would then dcHire the people
to holivvo that the delegates to the re
publican state convention were Insincere ,
Furthermore it would convey the im
pression that the state trennnrer does
not intend to fully inform the people as
to what Is being doMe with the money.
Throughout , its campaign iw one of UK-
sumption and insinuation. Not , ap
parently , daring to make a direct attack
upon Judge Sedgwick it seeks to con
fuse the minds of the voters with Hide
iHsuts and an expressed fear that repub
lican SUCCCHS may mean disaster to the
people of the state. The World-Herald
has bnon largely instrumental in select
ing one supreme judge by its methods
and will endeavor to give the fusioniRts
entire control of the court if it can suf
ficiently confuse the voters. The re
publican delegates were sincere in their
desire that the state * treasurer should
take the people fully into his confidence
and the demand of the state convention
was no idle ono. They expect him to
comply with it and his friends believe
that he will in duo time. If not. the
party will reckon with him at the first
opportunity , but its n solution at the
convention is not a law and until his
term expires it is not within the province
of the party to force the JEHUO. The
World-Herald's position that the elec
tion of Mr. Sedgwick would bo an on-
ilorsomont of Treasurer Stuofer's posi
tion is positively absurd. Mr. Sedgwick
was nominated by a convention that
favored n showing of the treasury funds
and his election cannot bo construed
into anything but an endorsement of
the state platform.
10\uiisallc Ignorance.
The person who ridicules another be
cause ho is ignorant on certain subjects
shows poor judgment , unless the person
so ridiculed has totally neglected to in
form himself in any particular. Every
body is ignorant in regard to many sub
jects and the person candid enough to
admit such ignorance is the ono deserv
ing of credit. A person may spend an
entire life time at study and yet remain
profoundly ignorant in ( .many particu
lars in fact there are single subjects
that may bo studied during n life time
and the student not be able to acquire
all the information obtainable. The
field for research is so varied and the
subjects so deep that it is astonishing to
realize how little a person knows.
A college or university graduate may
know something about the ancient
Greeks and Egyptians but may bo unable
to distinguish between a goura nud a
crook-necked tquash ; the farmer boy
may know absolutely nothing of the
subjects taught in college , yet may give
a learned professor instructions on the
proper feed for a hog or how to give the
calf its tirst meal out of a pail. The
man who is up on mechanics might con
struct H locomotive without a fault but
could not properly mix paint for his
barn , and the learned architect who
could plan and superintend the buildiuc
of a magnificent palace may bo incap
able of laying a brick correctly.
The preacher or orator who can thrill
an audience with line sounding phrases
ivould find his production tame nnd un
interesting iu print , while the brilliant
writer might find it impossible to hold
an audience for even a brief period as a
public speaker. The learned doctor
capable of understanding an intricate
proposition in medicine or surgery
would find his skill of no avail in re
pairing a watch. The man of largo
vocabulary fiuds words that ho cannot
spell or of which ho doesn't know the
meaning.
No person , therefore , has license to
make light of what ho esteems to bo
another's ignorance , nor a right to presume
sumo that because ho is well informed
on one subject that everyone else should
be equally well informed or bo subject
to the charge of ignorance. Nor should
ono sneer at another's mistakes on sub
jects with which he is not conversant.
Everyone is subject to mistakes nnd the
sensible person likes to be corrected
when ho makes a mistake , but ho doesn't
like to bo charged with ignorance because
of them. The average newspaper man
encounters those difficulties more fre
quently than anyone. It is his desire to
have items and articb s correct in every
particular but finds it impossible to
escape errors. Ho should know the
correct spelling of the name of every
person iu his community nnd should
know their ages , dispositions and more
or lees of treir family history , but few
of them are as thoroughly informed as
each person thinks they should be nnd
therefore unavoidable errors are made.
The really magnanimous person can
overlook these mistakes but there are
many who consider them unpardonable.

The republican county ticket requires
M'ant argument to the voters. Most of
them know the candidates and realize
that they will bo voting for the best interests
terosts of the county and themselves If
they vote the straight ticket and n true
conception of the county's welfare
will dictate its election from top to
bottom.
Hotel men have solved the l.'l super-
Hition by omitting the number in their

Lord llosebery is quitu anxious that
the people of Englni.d should acquire a
little of the push and progrcssivoness
that is forcing America to the front in
commercial matters. He said recently :
"A disdain of finality and anxiety for
improvement on the best seems almost
a disease in An.ericr ; but in Great
Britian wo can afford to catch the com
plaint , at any rate , iu a mitigated form ,
and give in exchange some of our own
self-complacency. "
Pat Crowo promised to appear if the
prize money for his capture was with
drawn and it is now up to him to prove
that his word is bettor than a reward to
bring him to trial. It will certainly
not bo of credit to the detectives of the
country if Mr. Crowo gives himself up
and discloses where ho has been in
hiding. Still all will probably reluct
antly admit that they know where ho
was all the time but did not choose to
take him for various reasons.
Another clod has been thrown on the
colllu of pessimism by the Illinois Central
tral , which announces nu increase in

half a million dollars annually. The
follow who questioned republican prosperity -
pority , who wailed calamity and
preached pessimism is growing beauti

busy accumulating wealth to make n
noise.
The Wayne Republican is authority

It is keeping up n brave front , however ,
and endeavoring to prevent the world
from noticing its family difficulties and

A Massachusetts man who recently
visited Sioux City was surprised to
learn that a western city of 40,000
people should have two daily papers
He should have come to Norfolk a short
time ago and seen a town of loss than
5,000 with two dalies , nud should then
take a trip through the state and beheld -
hold towns of 100 to 600 with one and
two weekly papers , and then his ideas
of western papers would have under
gone another surprise. While the west
is undoubtedly a better field for news
papers than the east , the business is
unquestionably overdone and with
about half the papers now published the
people would got bettor service and the
publishers better livings. No westerner
wants to see the country toned down to
an eastern gait entirely , but n little
toning would bo beneficial. Speaking
1of western newspaper style the gentle
man paid : " 1 think yon have mighty
good papers out hero. Your editions
are very readable , indeed. You have a
breezy way of getting up your mutter
that makes it a great deal more inviting.
I say frankly that I think your papers
are much bettor than those down east. "
President Roosevelt Is not going to
allow an ambition to be elected to the
position ho holds to influence his ofllci 1
action. Ho proposes to conduct tlm ,
affairs of his ofllco In the way ho deems
for the best interests of the country and
the people regardless of the consequences
quences to any personal ambitions. It
in very clear that the president Is so ar
ranging his conduct that the politicians
will have no hold or influence on hiH
official action and ho will bo independ
ent of the policy n quired with a nomi
nation and election in view. The presi
dent by this action will undoubtedly
strengthen himself with the rank and
file of the party as well with the broad
minded people of other parties and this
will uivo him a strength that selfish
politicians and party leaders cannot
counteract.
Montana is taking hold of the irriga
tion question in a manner that promisi s
the redemption of thousands of acres of
arid land , a big increase in population
and an additional realty value. The
State Arid Land Grant company .created
by the legislature with power to reclaim
lands donated to the state by the 'gen-
end government under the Cany act ,
recently celebrated the opening of a
great canal system. The canal is ex
pected to irrigate 513,000 acres of hitherto
valueless laud that will bo converted
Into homes for farmers and stoekrai ers
The state will sell the land in tracts o :
KiO acres to actual settlers , at the cost o
placing the water on the land , giving
ten years for payment iu ten equal pay
incutp , nt ( ! per cent interest , 11,000
acres being now ready for settlement
This is the first irrigation canal on thn
American continent to be built and op
crated by a state government and its
result will bo watched with interest ,
friends of the movement hoping that
therein may lie the solutiju of the irri
gatiou question. .
The democratic press , fearing that
the fight being made against the beet
sugar industry by the sugar trust may
prove discreditable to their pot free
trade theory , nro now endeavoring to
make it appear that th-re is no fight ;
that it is merely a pretense to pull the
wool over the eyes of the peoplo. Al
ways ready with assumptions and iusin
nations , they spring them whenever reliable <
liable arguments fail. They seek an ex
cuse for a non-support of an American
industry that employs American labor
and buys the product of American
f armors , nnd would llko to see it crushed
by a trust dealing in foreign products ,
merely that their free trade theory may
be allowed full sway. Tlmt a poor ex
cuse is better than none is illustrated by
the avidity with which such papers seize
on the suggestion that the beet industry
deserves nothing better at the hands of
the people than the trust. It must be
admitted that there are people even in
Norfolk who would allow their preju
dices and inclinations to close the Nor
folk factory , throw the men out of em
ployment , deprive the farmers of a cer
tain revenue and cripple the merchants'
custom. They can ill conceal their joy
at the attack of the trust nud are so
warped otherwise that they would crow
over the ruins of the city &ud state , and
starve content if only their ideus on
certain subjects could prevail.
CONQUERED HER RIVAL.
A Pretty mill I'ntlu-tic Story of Jenny
I.liul uiul ( JrUl.
We have recently read a beautiful
Incident. Jenny Llnd and Qrlsl were
both rivals for popular favor In Lon
don. Roth were Invited to slug the
same night nt a court concern before
the queen. Jenny Llnd , being the
younger , sang first nnd was so dis
turbed by the fierce , scornful look of
Grlsl that she was nt the point of
failure when suddenly an inspiration
came to her.
The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
nnd took the vacant seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys In n loving
prelude , nnd then she snug n little
prayer which she had loved as n child.
She hadn't sung It for years. As she
sang she was no longer In the pres
ence of'royalty , but singing to loving
friends In her fatherland.
Softly nt first the plaintive notes
floated on the nlr , swelling louder nnd
richer every moment. The singer
seemed to throw her whole soul Into
that weird , thrilling , plaintive "pray
er. " Gradually the song died away
nnd ended In a sob. There was a si
lence the silence of admiring wonder.
The audience sut spellbound. Jenny
Llnd lifted her sweet eyes to look Into
the scornful face that bad so discon
certed her. There wns no fierce ex
pression now ; Instead n teardrop glis
tened on the long , black lashes , nnd
after a moment , with the impulsiveness -

crossed to Jenny Llnd's side , placed
her arm about her and kissed her ,

Islands Are to Form a Separate MIs-
slonary District In Charge of an Appointed - -
pointed Bishop After April 1 Work
of Episcopal Conference.
San Francisco , Oct. 15. The house
of deputies of the Episcopal church of
AiiK-rlca , Hitting as a committee of the
whole , yesterday adopted the proposed
canon prohibiting the remarriage of
divot-cud persons for causes not aris
ing previous to their former marriage.
Thu canon was adopted just as It came
from the house of bishops. The voto-
stood 18'J for , 150 against. The
amendment of Dr. lluntington of New
York , making an exception in the case
of the innocent party to a divorce
granted on the ground of adultery , was
rejected by a vote of 158 to 173. Tlio
result of the vote In the committee of
the whole was reportud to the house
of deputies , who will vote on the
matter. The result , however , may not
be the same , for In the hoiiso thu voto-
of 30 delegations Is required to carry
a measure , the divided delegations
virtually counting among the nays.
Previous to this action In committee
of the whole the house of deputies
adopted the resolutions presented by
Dr. McKlm of Washington , providing
for n standing joint committee of both
houses to consider the relations of la
bor and capital. It is to consist of three
bishops , three presbyters and three
laymen and shall report its proceed
ings to each general convention.
The afternoon session of the house
of deputies was held behind closed
doors and was devoted entirely to con
sideration and voting on the five nomi
nations for missionary bishops handed
down by the house of bishops. The
election resulted as follows : Rev.
James Addlson Ingle , district of Han
kow ; Rev. C. II. Hrcnt , district of the
Philippines ; Rev. P. W. Keator , dis-
trlct of Olympla ; Rev. William Cabell
Brown , district of Porto Rico.
The only nomination rejected was
that of Rev. Charles C. Campbell
Pierce to be missionary bishop of
North Dakota. The house of bishops
created the missionary district of
Honolulu , to take effect April 1 , 1002.
Consent was given , the house of dep
uties concurring , for the election pf a.
missionary bishop for this district
during the Interval between this ses
sion and the next general convention.
A letter was sent to the synod of MexIco -
Ice stating the terms which must bo
complied with before bishops for that
country can be appointed. Several
canonical questions were discussed
and settled by the bishops during the
day , the further revision of the canon
being referred to the' next general con-
ventlon.
