The movement undertaken nt South
Norfolk to provide n flue largo club
house for the railroad men should re
ceive the hearty and unqualified sup
port of the people of Norfolk. For years
there has been n need of just suoh rsn
building , furnished nud fitted up to
afford comfort nud nmusomeut to heat
milrond boys whoso runs require that
the.y ho in or near division headquarters
the greater portion of their spare time.
They have lacked amusement nnd recrea
tion during theKo years and it is scarcely
to bo wonderdnt thnt the young men
without families should seek entertain *
meut at questionable resorts. Tbo club
house should have been there to supply
this need. It will be in line with the
stricter rules that have recently been
put in effect by the company , nnd will
make it easier to comply with such re
gulations , therefore the company should
and undoubtedly will lend its encourage
ment to the movement. The , business
men of Norfolk have no better patrons
than the railroad men and they can
well afford to show their appreciation of
snoh patronage by contributing to the :
club bouse nnd assisting in other wny §
toward its establishment . ,
Pnsh > nnd talk
for the South Norfolk club house.
There are "bolters" from a certain
plank in the Iowa republican platform ,
also , but there it wns different. All
knew that n flght was on nnd were per-
.mltted to have a say on the question ,
therefore they have less excuse for their
after convention objections than Ne
braska republicans who did not realize
what significance wonld be put upon n
very simple statement which the commit
tee incorpornted into the platform. The
question wns similar , though presented
in different ehnpe. The intention of the
platform mnkers nppenrs to be a tariff
reform or "tinkering" under the plea
thnt the tariff law should not afford
shelter or protection to trusts. If the f
Iowa idea is carried out nnd the beet
sugar industry is interpreted as one of
the trusts it is just ns certain thnt in
order to be consistent
the duty
on refined -
fined sugar will be lowered so that the
question presents quite a different as
pect ; nevertheless it is
interpreted ns n
rebuke to the lown
delegation nnd
one
of the members of the delegation , Con
gressman "Bob" Cousins of the Fifth
district , is quoted n repudiating it in
the followiug language : "This plat
form is n dirty , lousy lie. Fnbricnted
by a lot of truckling
, temporizing hypo
crites , nnd I'll be preaching the doc
trines of true republicanism when
the
pansy is growing over their groves , I'll
support the ticket nnd mnko BOHIO
BpeuchpH , hut I want everyone to know
where I stand. "
Tun Ni\V8 : wns nttturod thnt when it
undertook n movement calculated to
improve the drninngo of Norfolk , there
were other cnrnoRt supporters of the im-
provoniont ready to step in and do their
full shnro toward the nccompliflhmont
of the plan , Tnr. NKWB ban upont a
number of days and devoted confildernblo
of its npnoo toward the agitation of the
question but none of that energetic
backing hnn yet boon hoard from. This
paper has always been ready to agitate
public enterprise ! } nnd public reforms ,
either nt the suggestion of others or of
HH own volition , but hoe found much
discouragement in the supine indif
ference of thoflo who should have moro
or nil equal Interest in such improve-
rnont or reform. , If every person inter-
in tbo drninngo qnontion had
spent ns innch tlmo and hud
boon at as innch expense on-
donToring to improve the drainage of
tbo city OB Tim NICWB , the question
wonld hrxvo hoon uonr a holntiou ere thin.
The ozprepflion was strongly in fnror of
Bnch iinprovomont nnd nil that appeared
to bo lacking was for BOUIO cnorgotio
cnthnfllastB to take hold of the mutter
nnd bring it to n BncocHsful termination.
The time IB propitious for the question
to bo taken np nnd handled through
Borne sort of orgnnization , either of nn
independent nature or through the Com
mercial olnb , by committee or otherwico.
Snch organization could determine the
legal aspects of the question , learn what
could bo douo and through petition erin
in some other manner take the necessary
stops to bring the improvement about.
It appcnrn to bo np to those the most
deeply interested to do something nnd
the sooner they begin the earlier will
the question bo settled. If something
is not done it may bo taken to nppear
tbnt many of the kickers merely had n
grievance ngniust some person or per
sons that they wanted to nir and since
TUR NEWS had done its stnnt they were
satisfied , but thafc was not the purpose
of this paper. The question was opened
that it might bo settled , with credit to
the city. It was not intended to save
the unmo ground for complaint for next
year , and the next , nnd that oyery
time it happened those same people
might bo expected to roar , nnd there
lot it end. It should be disposed of. Per.-
haps there will bo something else to en
gage the ntteution of the critics next
year.
