The United States is finding thnt

found it necessary to promulgate some

wheat , " having received numerous in
quiries from farmers nud others regard
ing the alleged cerenl thnt someone has

The explanation is that the department
has no knowledge of the new grain nnd
thinks it possible that Polish wheat may
bo the article introduced. This would
uiako good hog feed could it bo grown ,
but it hns not yet proven to bo ndapted
to the soil nnd cllmnto of this country.

"With the Sioux Oity electric line pro
ject to connect a number of Nebraska
towns following closely upon a similar
project emnnnting from Omaha it is to
be believed thnt these cities nro in favor
of affording every possible facility and
convenience for the people of Nebraska
in their territory to pay them frequent
visits. A network of oloctrio lines con
necting the towns of eastern Nebraska
with these cities will bo an improve
ment that will bo appreciated by the
people of the country entered and it is
probable that Sioux Oity and Omaha
will find them of great advantage in
various ways.
The United States has n higher mur
der rate than any country in the world ,
and it is the desire of a large number of
Nebraska people that the capital pun
ishment law should bo abolished , which
might result in adding to the distressing
exhibit of the country. It is evident
that the United States is becoming
altogether too lenient. The pooplo'aro
generous at forgiving nnd too tender
hearted to deal with criminals. In
countries where murder is infrequent

land nnd Germany prosper. If the
tar I IT tinkers nnd revisionists hnvo
their way thnt would bo the result ns
far as the hlntoiy of tliolr efforts go to
provo. It is n generous thought to con-
Hitler the condition of the employes of

turned their way , by giving them free
competition in the markets of this
country.
The democrats hnvo rxprcEacd n do-
slro to attempt to take a few bricks
from the high tariff wall , erected by the
republicans , during the next session of
congress. Tliolr plan may bo commend
able from n democratic standpoint , but
as the pcoplo have not yet entirely for
gotten the effects of the assault on the
tariff carrk d on by the last democratic
administration it is doubtful if they
will fnll ever themselves to join the
democratic procession thnt , nccording
to nil historical accounts , is headed
toward nn era of hard times and falling
prices. However , the opposition pnrty
must have some sort of nn Issue before
n presidential campaign is again on nt
which they might bo successful , nud
what is nioro deslrnblo than Mm
with which they won the only tlmo in
modern history.
The president nud some of his assist
ants in the postofllco department expect
to probe into some of the deals in con
nection with the awarding of mail-
carrying contracts to the railroads nnd
julto expect thnt they will Btir up n
scandal , but propose to ECO that there Is
n change if things have not boon on the
square. People have suspected for
some time that there have boon peculiar
doings regarding the awards of mail
carrying contracts and if it is shown
that there have been none such will bo
pleased to have their suspicions allayed ,
whllo if there has boon crooked work
thcBo responsible should bo punished
and the method corrected. In view of
what ho has accomplished along other
lines they nro quito convinced thnt the
president ia fully competent to adjust
matters to his satisfaction and that of
the people of the country.
With the national and state govern
ments each putting $100,000 into now
buildings in Norfolk this summer it ia
safe to believe that there will bo some
thing going on hero even though the
city or the people of the city make no
movement for the advancement of the
town. But it is n safe guess that the
people will undertake something in the
way of improvement themselves. They
nro not likely to permit a summer to
pass without doing something that will
benefit the town nud with what the
state nnd nntionnl government are
undertaking it is easy to conceive that
those improvements will bo largely in
creased this year. There will bo work
for all the mechanics and laboring men
of the city and n largo number from
outside and the town should fairly hum
with activity , as soon as the weather
will permit a start to bo made.
Senator Tillman delivered an address
at Detroit the other day and his hearers
istenod patiently while ho detailed the
woes of the whites of South Carolina on
the race question , but when ho referred
to Sherman's army as a gang of "bum
mers , chicken thieves and carpet bag
gers , " his northern audience broke into
a storm of hisses and it was feared for
time that the demonstration would
finally result in n protest far more vig
orous aud having dire results for the
speaker. It is evident that Tillman ,
with other southern statesmen , holds
the people of the north wholly responsible
siblo for the fact that there arc 285,000
more black people than white people in
his state , forgetting apparently , that It
was the fathers of those whites who
brought the black people there , and all
that the north insisted on was that they
bo given citizenship along with the
"poor whlto trash" and not bo held in
subjugation as slaves.
While the bill making it possible to
rebuild the hospital for the iiisano at
this place is not yet entirely out of the
woods , the people of this city and the
entire northern part of the state cannot
but appreciate what the house of repre
sentatives has done for the measnro nnd
express their hearty approval of the al
most unanimous vote it received. If the
senate is ns unanimously for the bill ns
the house there will soou bo a small
army of workmen on the hill preparing
a homo for the unfortunates of this pnrt
of the state , and there is quite reliable
assurance that the senate will do that
wLioh the house has emphatically said
would bo proper. There have boon
numerous friends of the bill working for
its success to whom the people of this
section owe unqualified thanks and they
will always bo assured of a friendly
fooling for them. The vote of the
house was even bettor than hud been
hoped for and it may bo certain that
north Nebraska will not forget.
The NnrDillc HoHpltnl.
A RoiiHO of victory , with UH feeling of
relief , gratification nnd joy , prevailed
In Norfolk last evening when It became
known thnt the bill for the rebuilding
of the hospital for Insane nt this place
had passed the Rotmto. The measure
had already received the sanction of the
house , and now nil thnt remains for It to
become n Inw IH the ulgnuturo of the
governor. This it will receive ,
In our hilarity over the succnpflful
outcome of n mrnsuro which minus BO
much to north Nebraska ns nwholo nnd
Norfolk in particular , it should not bo
forgotten thnt wo nro under obligations
to those men who hnvo worked like
Trojans to re-establish the institution
nt this place , The three members of
the legislature who nro entitled to
the most credit for tlio
result nro N. M. Nelson , representa
tive of Pierce nnd Codnr counties , who
introduced the bill in the house ; T , F.
Mommlngor , representative from Modi-
HOII county , who hns led n strenuous
campaign nU winter in its behalf ; nnd
Dr. .T. M. Aldeu , senator from Pierce ,
Wayne , Stauton nud Madison counties ,
who has boon nn untiring nnd indefat
igable worker in behalf of the bill.
There wore other earnest advocates of
the monsuro in both the honso nnd the
senate , but to these throe men full
credit ia one for carefully engineering
the passage of the bill through the leg
islature. At the beginning of the BOB
sion they found much opposition but
persistent efforts counted until the bill
was passed by handsome m&joritios in
both houses.
Several of Norfolk's leading citizens
wore on the ground early and late and
exorcised a strong influence in behalf -
half of the appropriation. Their ef
forts wore largely because of local pride
in winning something for Norfolk , but
nevertheless they are entitled to the
sincere thanks of other citizens who
will benefit in n degree equal or greater
than that accruing to them. Norfolk's
candidate for governor during the late
campaign , "W. M. Robi-rtEon , was the
factor of great weight in securing nec
essary support. Q. A. Lniknrt of the
Citizens National bank nnd president of
the Commercial club , nud "W. II. Buoh-
olz of the Norfolk National , were also
earnest workers in the cause.
"With the passage of the bill to re
habilitate the Norfolk hospital for the
insane , it but romaics for the governor
to attach his signature to make it n law ,
nnd then will como the advertising for
bids and the letting of contracts with
the possibility thnt active building
operations will commence in about n
month. As it is contemplated that the
new building shall bo fireproof through
out , the amount carried by the appro-
priatiou may not be enough to restore
the hospital to its original size nnd im
posing appearance but it will bo a big
start in the right direction and what is
built will be of a permnnent untnro nnd
safe from the encroachments of the fire
fiend that reduced the old structure to
ashes.
The people of Norfolk and north No >
braskn are highly pleased with the out
come of the efforts put forth nnd to the
house nnd the seunto nnd especially
these who have worked untiringly for
the passage of the measure their sincere
thanks are duo. Governor Mickey's
message recommending the rebuilding
of the hospital wasn strong lever toward
the success of the bill , but in suite of
this there was considerable opposition
to overcome in both honso and senate.
To support it Norfolk and north Ne
braska were clearly entitled to the ap
propriation for the rebuilding of the
hospital and now that the work is prac
tically completed it remains for the
people to indicate their approval in
some public manner.
The people of the city should contlnne
their interest in the matter nntil the
money appropriated is expended with
the best results and the best building
erected that it is possible to secure with
the amount of the appropriation.
Naturally the state officials will have
much to say about this and will take
care that the appropriation Is well and
economically expended , but they will
no doubt appreciate what the people of
Norfolk may do to aid thorn in their
work.
The legislature will bo in session long
enough to prevent tbo members from
participating in the municipal cam
paigns of their home towns.
The robins and meadow larks are
here , but if you want to be absolutely
certain that spring is here wait until
the martins nnd the wrens arrive.
Ic is to bo hoped that the weather
will not attempt any April fool's joke
on tho' pooplo.

Every farmer knows that
ime plants grow better than
lliers. Soil may be the same
ncl seed may seem the same ,
'lit some plants are weak and
> thcrs strong.
And that's the way with
Jiildren. They are like young
plants. Same food , same home ,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott's Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation , not because of lack
of food , but because the food
does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
Scott's Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
