Wayne county boasts of n total
ftusesHod valuation of $2,111,171 ,
wutch Is something worth mention

counties are on a constant rise , and
the state Is growing In wealth.
Massachusetts republicans have
declared for the re-election of Presi
dent Iloosovolt and all that stands
In the way of the republicans of
every other state doing Ilkowlso , Is
n lack of a state mooting at which It
would bo pertinent to bring up the
nubject.
Some of the Omaha republicans
have not agreed to the harmony pro
gram and the other fellows now pro
pose to have harmony If they have to
fight for It. The republicans of the
balance of the state will hope that
they got It.
It can bo depended on that the

General Miles did not particularly
nnuounco that ho was out of poli
tics. A large number of politicians
have realized for some time that ho
was not In the running , ns a demo

that ho was not oven a possibility In
the race against Roosevelt for the
highest olllco In the land.
A correspondent of the State Jour
nal has a simple way of preventing
alkali from damaging the crops. It
Is merely to prevent the water from
raising the alkali to the surface , but
ho does not explain how that Is to
bo done In a season ns wet as Ne
braska has experienced this year ,
nnd his Idea Is therefore only avail-
.able to Irrigated lands , where man
can control the water supply.
Telegraphic Information Is to the
effect that a drouth has boon broken
in Kansas. While Nebraska on the
north has had a superfluity of mois
ture all summer long , a section of
Kansas has had a drouth that has
been unsatisfactory to farmers and
gardeners , however this Is not so
surprising when It is Known that the
city of Now York has several grades
and conditions of climate the greater
part of the time.
From now until the sugar cam
paign closes will be a busy tlmo for
the beet growers , the factory man
agement and employes , and the rail
roads entering- Norfolk that do the
handling of the beets from a distance ,
the factory supplies and the finished
product. It Is a busy time , but
everyone desires to see them kept
busy , as It means money and busi
ness to all indirectly Interested In
the factory.
It Is n llttlo out of season for tor
nadoes , but that which visited Wau-
paca , Wisconsin , appears to have
been as healthy and vigorous as
though It had beeu doing business
months ago. These who have expressed -
pressed a dottlro that summer might
linger in the lap of autumn , did not
include tornadoes in tholr specifica

The people of Nebraska wore not
asked to advance Judge Barnes to
the supreme bench until after the
fusion nominee for the same ollicc

It was good by apppolntlng him as

Judge Sullivan would be moro compe

.The visit of the Ancient and Hon
ourable Artillery company of London
k ) America is ono of the great honors
of the year In the exchange of cour

The farmer Is not the only victim
of the sharpers. Down In Cass coun

books to school ma'ams alleged to

school teachers are supposed to know
about all thuro IH to know about

public Instruction has found It necessary -

It may bo pretty disagreeable to
the fuslonlsts to have it "rubbed in'
that their candidate for supreme
judge has twice endorsed the repub
lican candidate , Judge J. B. Barnes ,
by apiKilntlng him to the highest
olllco and the most responsible posi
tion In the gift of a supreme Judge ,
but the hard fact stands out promi
nently , and every time a fuslonist
criticises Judge Barnes as not desir
able for the position for which ho Is
n candidate , such criticism boars
strongly and directly on the Judge
ment of their own candidate for the
olllce. Judge Barnes' ability as a
commissioner of the wipromo court
has never boon iniestlonod. and all
that has boon brought against him
was as pertinent when the fusion
judges appointed him as court com
missioner as It Is now.
President Hoosovolt's refusal to
permit orgnnl/.ed labor to dlctato
terms to the government , will of
course bo taken up and emphast/od
by the opponents of the administra
tion as to why members of the unions
should be against his re-election , but
It Is doubtful if many of those fully
Informed on the Miller case will re
fuse to support him on these grounds.
Ills position is tenable and decisive ,
just as it would bo if ho refused to
permit the steel trust to dlctato where
the armor for battleships should bo
purchased , and how much should bo
paid. The government must reserve
the right to buy where It can do the
best by the people , and If the presi
dent should submit to the right of
organl/.od labor to dlctato who the
government employes should bo it
Is clear that the labor organizations
and not the government would soon
control.

The sale of the Daniel Kerr herd
of line stock In Norfolk yesterday
again goes to prove that the farmers
and stock raisers In this section of
the country are giving more attention
to the quality of their stock. Mr.
Kerr had accumulated line herds ,
both of cattle and hogs , and realized
a handsome prollt from their sale ,
while those who purchased have laid
the foundation for likewise securing
blooded stock to bring rare prices ,
whether sold as breeders or on the
market to bo slaughtered. It Is a
branch of the farmer's business that
pays well and Is interesting , and as
the country develops the stock of in
ferior brood will gradually give way
to that of better quality with advan
tage to the farmers nnd the people
of the country. It takes no moro to
food a thoroughbred than It dee a
scrub , and the profits ar'o a great
deal moro ,
It will not bo necessary for the re
publicans to scratch their ticket this
fall. It Is good enough all through to

J. L. McKcan has sold the Dakota
County Herald , which he has pub

Its publication. The Herald will con

A lot of editors fill much of their
space with stuff that happened ton ,
twenty or thirty years ago. It maybe
bo Interesting matter from a remi
niscent standpoint , but Is hardly en

Keep It before the people that
ftnrnos , the republican candidate for
supreme judge , was twice appointed
supreme court commissioner by
unanimous vote of the presentjiidgcs
of the court , In which Judge Sulli
van , the opposing fusion candidate ,
concurred. If ho did not possess all
the requisite qualifications for the
judicial position to which he as
pires , would Judge Sullivan have
joined In making him a supreme
court commissioner , not once , hut
twice ? If faithful and conscientious
service as a member of the supreme
court commission deserves promo
tion , Judge Barnes is entitled to
election. Omaha Bee.
The voice of the populist press Is
very union lacking this campaign ,
and it is apparent to all that one has
been made to grow where two grew
before. Those that remain are so
Impregnated with democracy that
there Is nothing to distinguish thorn
from a duly authorized and fully ac
credited democratic organ. Argu
ments and policies are all the same ,
and the feeble struggles of the rem
nant of populism for existence are
almost too weak to bo noticed.
Since Mr. Bryan scolded the hoys
for running otf and acting without
his consent at Denver they have
been very mum , or have slid over to
democracy without a struggle.
The average person considers that
the capitalist worth $100,000,000 is
not far from having a lead pipe cinch
on the country , and are Inclined to
the belief that whenever ho wants a
*
million or two , all ho has to do is
to go to the bank and draw It. He
Is certainly bettor fixed than the
average man , and has qulto a pull ,
but when the wealth of the country
is considered in comparison , his
wealth resolves Itself into a mighty
small fraction. For instance Ne
braska's surplus commodities in
1900 amounted to $ : > L 5l5r 5lGO , which
would Indicate that a man worth the
hundred million could in reality con
trol but a small portion of this great
state , and this state Is but a small
part of the wealth of the country.
The matter of a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba whereby Havemoyor , the
millionaire refiner , can get his pro
duct into this country without paying
so much duty , and at the same time
operating to cripple the growing
sugar Industry in this country , prom
ises to bo the chief feature of the
special session of congress soon to bo
called. It Is to bo hoped that this
will not bo a splitting wedge that will
disrupt the republican party , In fact
It may bo considered of minor con
sideration In comparison with other
republican policies , but the friends of
the American Industry may bo ex
pected to continue to insist that the
protection of American Industries ,
American labor and American pro
ducers Is a tlmo tried policy of the
party and will object to its revision In
this instance. The boot and cane
sugar industries promise not only to
supply the people with tholr sugar in
tlmo , but will develop their own com
petition , and a treaty with Cuba to
admit the sugar produced there at a
reduced tariff will undoubtedly bo
found a gratuity that will bo unap
proclated ,
If these cranks having a loaded
weapon and desiring anaudlonco with
President Iloosovolt do not soon turn
tholr attention to other matters or
other personages , the people of the
country will soon demand that there
should bo a wholesale extermination
of them. Any fool can kill a pros !
dent if ho should happen to gotcloso
enough and have no Interference ,
liit It takes a man with brains to
fill the place made vacant. Pros !
dent Iloosovolt has given cause to no
ono unless It might bo the trust
magnates to desire his life , and only
a crank would attempt it. In days
of bltttor sectional differences llko
those following the war of the re
bellion , there might bo men to think
that it would bo a duty well done to
murder a president , but In thcso re
cent days there have boon no such
differences and the murderer or
would be murderer of a president de
serves nothing hotter than to ba
placed behind the bars of a lunatic
or Idiot asylum.
The people of Norfolk and North
Nebraska would llko to see the
state board of public lands and
buildings do something toward the re
building of the hospital for the in
sane , or would llko to see a reason
able excuse for the board's non-action.
It has now been half n year since
the J100.000 appropriation of the
legislature was made available but
not a thing has been done that is
visible on the hill toward the rehab
ilitation of the burned Institution.
Great bodies may move slowly , but
most of them actually do , move some
time. Wncther the board is too
great to move at all or whether Its
movement has been so exceeding
small that it is not perceptible to
the naked eye Is a matter of con
jecture to the people of Norfolk and
vicinity that has not definitely been
determined. Because the majority
of the members have no further poli
tical aspirations , is not tantamount
to a surcease of duty , and tills line
fall weather is the kind that should
bo employed to the best advantage
In raising out of the ruins a hospital
for the insane either on the cottage
or some other plan. The people have
long since ceased to speculate on
when active work will commence ,
but they would like some sort of
evidence that the state actually has
a board of public lands and build
ings and ono that Is capable of being
aroused from its somnolency.

Ton years ago a Platte county far
mer placed an X mark on a silver
dollar and went to town nnd spent It
with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the marked dollar
back again for poultry and spent if
again with a village merchant. Four
times in six years that dollar came
homo to him for produce and throe
times he heard of It In the pockets of
his neighbors. The last time ho got
It In change throe years ago. ho sent
It -Chicago to a mail order house
that has amassed a hundred million
dollars by selling third rate stuff.
He has ; iot seen that dollar since and
never will till the crack of doom.
That dollar will never pay any moro
school or road tax for him , never
help build up the town or country ,
never bless and brighten the homo of
his neighbors. Ho sent It entirely
out of the circle of usefulness to him.

How good a fool proposition looks

Here Is a problem : Which hurts
the worse : To get over a love af
fair by marrying , or to get over it
by not marrying ?
Here Is the situation : Your
friends will not tell you the truth ,
and you will not listen when your
enemies try it.
Marriage is supposed to bar a man
from trying to mnko other women
fall In love with him , but the only
real bar is old age.
A man should save up his money
In order to be able to afford , when
ho Is GO , tlmo for that necessary half

If a woman finds out that she has

makes the best of it , and when a man
makes a similar discovery , ho makes
the worst of It.
Here are the facts about it : If a
man spends as much as $75 on his

Some time ago it was announced

him in the face of such calumny. Now

There is too much of a disposition
to treat a boy as an object created for
ridicule. The writer of this was re
cently in an establishment on upper x
Commercial1 street In which boys were '
applying for work in answer to an.
advertisement. Every boy that came
In was regarded as a huge joke by
the workmen ; ho was "joshed" and
bandied and ridiculed until ho must
have felt as If ho would never try for
another job. Not ono of the boys an
swered back in any way , but patient
ly waited. Not one of the workmen
seemed to think the boys had feel
ings , and In some instances referred
to their personal appearance. It was
an outrage , and proves the fact that
many of us do not understand polite
ness and kindness , and need only the
opportunity to show our brutality. - <

And when the llttlo party came home
