President Roosevelt objected to
having bears tied to n tree for him to
Bhoot. IIo would evidently not make

brutes to bo given n chance and if
ho cannot take a shot at bears on the
wing or in an attitude of defense there
is no sport in the hunt for him. Had ho
shot the bear after it was run down by
dogs and tied , his hunting experience in
Mississippi would have been n little in
ferior to Mr. Bryan's tame lion hunt in
Texas.
King Leopold of Belgium is the latest

The consumers of mineral water will
be glad to learn that a project is on
foot to lesson the expense. The min
eral water will be frozen and trans
ported to consumers in refrigerator cars
and sold by the block at about the price
asked for the ordinary distilled water
ice. The consumer will save the ex
pense of ice for cooling his mineral
water and the transportation of the ice
in bulk is not BO expensive as that of
water in bottles. It will reduce the
cost to the consumer about 50J per cent.

The result of the election throws Hon.
W. M. Robertson well to the front as a
candidate for United States senator to
succeed Senator Doit rich , and doubt
less he and his friends will energet
ically push his claims to the position.
He will have to reckon , however , with
Senator Deitrioh , Hon. Edward Rosewater -
water and D. E. Thompson and
possibly with the enlarged ambition
of some of the newly elected mem
bers of the house. We have con
fidence in Mr. Robertson's ability
to deal with the situation in a diplo
matic way , and if a republican is to rep
resent us in the upper house of congress
we prefer a home man to onelivlng at a
distance. Madison Mail.

The frionda of Chairman II. 0. Lind-
cay of the republican Htato committee
are urging his appointment to the posi
tion of United States attorney for the
district of Nebraska , urging his claims
to such consideration by reason of the
fact that ho has boon nt the head of the
committee during the conduct of throe
successful campaigns for the party. The
party is ono to honor those who hnvo exerted -
ortod themselves in its behalf and Mr.
Lindsay will unquestionably bo remembered -
bored with n position that will reward
him for the time and energy ho has expended -
ponded in behalf of republican success.
Mr. Lindsay's home paper , the Pawnee
Republican , hat announced him as n
candidate for the position mentioned.
It is reported that President ROOBO <

over been exanlted to that high office
have ever determined that their policy
would bo opposed Wall street and par
ticularly the interests of .T. P. Morgan
nnd company. With this stand , no
one knows better than Mr. Roosevelt ,
what a powerful enemy ho will secure
by opposing the interests of the finan
cial center of the country and what
efforts will bo made to swing the people
away from the president , but if the
people will stand by the executive there
will bo no question us to the benefits ao-

Someone has figured it out that it
would require 75,000 trains , of ! 10 cars ,
to got the Nebraska crop of corn'on the
Chicago market. This may bo true , but
the interesting spectacle is likely never
to bo realized. According to the statis
tics of Deputy Labor Commissioner
Wats'ou.thoro were 807,053 cattle , 2,788-
524 head of hogs , 805,893 head of sheep
and 35,78 ! ! horses and mules marketed in
1000 , leaving a surplus of twice that
number in the state. It is reasonable to
porsnme that there is as much stock in
the country this year as there was in
1000 , nnd these , with the Hocks of
chickens , turkeys , ducks and geese , not
counting the amount of corn demanded
by the grist mills , will all bo clamoring
for a full share of that crop and t it is a
safe guess that they will not leave any
more than half of the product get out
of the state until they have had their try
at it.
In the east they assert that the people
of the west are demanding tariff reform
and nro eager and insistent for such a
polioyjto.be put In effect while in the
west it is believed that all who desire a
revision of the tariff live in the east.
The American Economist has presented
an array of figures to prove that the
tariff reformers are not the people of the
west. Its returns from 15 western
states show that whereas the republican
majorities in 1898 were 143,850 , in 1002
the republican majorities iu the same
states amounted to 279,100. The demo
cratic majorities iu the trausmissiBsippi
states in 1898 were 69,050. In 1902 this
had been reduced to 500 and that in but
the single state of Nevada. The re
turns nro more effective than campaign
arguments in disclosing the true senti
ment of the states of the west. If there
are tariff reform states they must bo in
the east.
The tender hearted officials who be
lieve in making the punishment of
criminals light and those who exercise
the right of pardon to release men be
fore their term of imprisonment haa ex
pired are blamed by an official of n can-
salty company for the numerous rob
beries now taking place. He is perhaps
not far wrong. The court , aided by
brilliant lawyers do not bear down any
too heavily on the majority of the men
sentenced and when those with the
pardoning power trim off another sl o
of punishment , many criminals consider
that they received no punishment what
ever and are ready to retnrn to their
old practices at the very first opportun-
- TO h * nffertive the punishment of
hlove and robbers should bo such that at
ho expiration of their terms there should
jo no dcHlro left for thorn to return to
ho life they had previously led. Per-
inps some do not need as sovcro punish *
UH others to prove effective , but
hero nro few to judge just how much
H required in every cane nnd the courts
*
that hnvo dealt with the details of the
case should very generally bo con
sidered to hnvo given the punishment
merited.
Norfolk people hnvo , with n niinniin
Ity and vigor seldom experienced on n
similar occasion , met and organized to
tnko the necessary stops toward enlist
ing a Bontimout favorable to the re
building of the hospital for the insane
recently destroyed by flro. It was to bo
expected that Norfolk would make the
primal movement iu this matter , because
cause of the fact that this is the homo
of the institution , but it is broader than
n mcro local question and it is con
fidoutly expected that all neighboring
people nnd the outiro north Plntte
country will uuito in favoring the re
building of the hospital , the only state
Institution with which the northern
part of the Btato has over boon favored.
It means something to Norfolk , but it
means almost as much to the entire
people tributary to this city , nlid the
movement should not bo viewed in n
selfish light or with an indifference in
spired by jealousy. Norfolk has noth
ing to conceal iu this matter ; it is ono of
public concern and of sectional right.
It is proposed to make the movement
opou and aboveboard with the convic
tion that justice will dictate the re
building of the hospital nud that the
support from the people of the northern
part of the fitato will bo unanimous aud
vigorous. The time haa come to act
and Norfolk is prepared to lend. Other
towns and localities should not hesitate
to follow.
When TUB NEWS declined the offer of
the mayor and city council last spring
to do the city printing , it said nil it had
to say along that line. As n business
proposition , Tin : NEWS never did n
more profitable thing than when it re
fused the offer , for the reason that the
"pay streaks" iu the city business this
year do not make up for the expense of
handling such a largo amount of free
matter as is required. It was not nec
essary for THE NEWS to stoop so low
as to make an excuse for criticising the
mayor. If he had carried out his
promises he would have received the
commendation of this paper m spite of
the loss ( ? ) of the city printing , but
when ho allowed Norfolk to become
notoriously "wide open , " a fact that ho
has ncknowledged by ordering a sup
pression of the abuses , there was only
one line of duty open for this paper and
that was to call attention to the con
dition of nffairs. THE NEWS is perhaps
open to criticism for not mentioning
the matter enrlier , but it will bo re
membered that the lawlessness gradu
ally cnme to a state where it could no
longer be tolerated , reaching a climax
the day before election , when two rob
beries were reported in one day. THE
NEWS has always pursued the policy of
supporting public officials , no matter
what party they belong to , when they
are rendering good , conscientious
service , but it will not stand by and see
the people robbed , assanlted and out
raged without raising a protest.
A Washington correspondent of the
Lincoln Journal , in reviewing the re
suit of the late election in Nebraska and
summing up the evidence is pleased to
interpret it as "a rebuke of the two
United States senators and of their
friends who had been placed in control of
the federal patronage of the state.1 'The
correspondent emphasizes the fact that
there was a plank in the plntform np
Drovinc of reeinreaitv with flnVm. with
the evident purpose of making it appear
that the paramount issue of the cam
paign was whether the people would
sustain n measure calculated to injure
the beet sugar industry , when ns a
matter of fact the advocates of such a
policy dared not mention the subject
during the course of the campaign but
were distinguished mainly by their
silence. After the campaign is nil over
this wise correspondent endeavors to
slip iu with his prejudicing statements
Such a willful perversion of the senti
ment of the people of the state is inex
cusable and it is pleasing to note that
President Roosevelt has had a more
correct reading of the desire of the
people of Nebraska and other states , and
announced that it will not bo his policy
to favor a revision of the tariff nt the
coming session of congress. The people
of Nebraska , especially the republicans ,
wish it understood that they desire to
favor the growing beet sugar industry
of the west rather than the refiners'
trust of the east when it comes to a
matter of choice and right. It is con
ceded that the person who offered that
plank of the platform taking a slap at
the beet sugar interests of Nebraska and
the west made a shrewd move in favor
of the refiners' trust , but anyone at all
conversant with public opinion cannot
fail to realize that the plank was not BO
intended by the delegates to the conven
tion and would not be supported in that
intention by the republicans of the state.
There are republicans in Nebraska ,
hundreds of them , who , if it came to a
question of sacrificing their protection
principles , especially regarding beet
eugnr , would prefer to leave the party.

The Nebraska City News does not lay
it to the stay-at-home vote. It finds
thnt there are too mnny democrats voting
ing the republican tioket , and it has un
doubtedly reached the meat of the
cocoanut. It is a trait of the American
people to vote for the party which gives
them the best results and those voters
who will vote the republican or the
democratic ticket according to what they
deem to be the best interests of the
country are the ones who control the
elections. It is possibly trne tbnt men
who have recently beou democrats are
now voting the republican ticket , but it
isjlikewise possible that they wore re
publicans before they were democrats.
Discussion regarding fthe use and
abuse of second-class mail privileges
granted to publishers has again been
opened by the report of Assistant Post
master General Madden. There are
many publishers of legitimate news
papers and other periodicals who are
cognizant of the fact that the second
class privilege is wofnlly abused by
those conducting publications'allegod to
be legitimate but who depend on their
advertising patronage for their income
and are ready to give their publications
away to secure a circulation , Pub
lishers of legitimate newspapers and
periodicals would be glad to see this
class excluded from second-class privi
leges. They are on a par with the quack
doctor ns compared to the legitimate
practitioner.
There is quite n. fuss being kicked up
because Miss Leonora Bnrt of Dos

losis , having relied on Christian Science
treatment to pull her through. This is
ono case whoroiu the medical profession
has no great advantage over the Scient
ists. She would undoubtedly have died
under any treatment , and until medi
cine is so far perfected thnt it can deal
with this disease there is every reason
to suppose that the Christian Science
treatment is about as effective as though
the system was loadedwith ] the drugs
proscribed by the doctors. Until the
medical profession can successfully
combat this disease there is no convinc
ing reason why they should join in pro
testing against the experiments of ether
cults nnd treatments.

and the mail addressed to it hns been
held for some time. Before the postal
minorities stepped in it is alleged that
"Weltmer's "business" nmounted. to-
about $500,000 a year from those who
believed in absent treatment. The rush
of mail matter to and from the school
caused the postofilce at Nevada to bo
raised from the fourth to the first class ,
aud most of the letters received there
contnined money. Judge Phillips of
Kansas City made the icint that so
much mail required all the attention of
the "healers" nnd left j o time for the
suggestion and concentration of thought
on the sufferings of their correspon

American people , or many of them ,
