TIIM NOIM-miC - NKWS : I'M ? I DAY. ( ) ( TOJ3KR I'O. 11)03. ) A week from next Tuonday \ the ! ny when wo will nil go to tlie polls and vole the republican-ticket It la n lltllo more limn u wrok niilll the republicans will again emphatic- nlly domonntrnto that NolirnHkn i' In tliu republican Hat. President Koosovolt Is forty-five years old today , nnd a nation of ad mirers will Join In the liopo Hint ho may Hvo to bo twice as old. That story of the murder of hlH two llttlo HOIIB by an Inhuman Indl- nun Author IH enough to inalto the cold chlllH cluiHo up and down the hack of n porcupine. It was awful , without iiuallllcatlon. The republican precinct ticket wan naini'd with a vlow to the fitness of the candidates for the various olllces , nnd the ropulleans are not asking sup port for thorn merely because they nro good follows , but because of their adaptability to the work. Panama may bo utterly Billy In re fusing to cndordo the canal program of thin country , but the experience hero Is that the lawmakers of that country are showing a largo degree of common sense In favoring the cs- tabV.sluuont of Its currency on a gold basis. Kor superintendent of public In struction Win. Dowllng IB gaining new friends every day , and some ot bis friends are confident of his elec tion. Mr. Dowllng Is well qunllllo ; ! lor the olllco and the duties of the position will receive careful attention from him If ho Is elected. Dent forget them : Chr. Schnvlnnd , J. .1. Clements , C. lUlsoloy , W. II. Field , James Curtis , Win. Howling , .1. U Hyiic-arson , Dr. II. L. Kindred , W. II. Lowe and Oeo. Smith. Each ono for his respective olllco Is an Ideal candidate and deserving of every confidence that the voters nro capable of bestowing. Madison county lias not , In the ' past , had n great amount of work for the coroner to look after , but when it has such a duty the corouor should bo n man well fitted for the position. Such n man Is Dr. II. L. Kindred of Mo.ulow Orovo. lie has boon n resi dent of the county for years and has built up n good practice. Americans are not to bo blamed If they have a kindly feeling toward L. M. Cioldborger. the llorlln author , for his handsome compliments to this country In bis book on "Tho Land of Unlimited Possibilities , " lately Is sued. The American people are not beyond the point of enjoying the "taf fy" of foreigners In unlimited quan tities. I'rlonds of James Curtis ropurt that ho Is putting up 'an unusually stubborn light throughout the county fur ( ho olllco of clerk nnd are of the opinion that ho will bo elected to the po-.ltion by a handsome majority. He realizes that It will tic difficult to defeat a second term man , , but Is making his campaign that much inoro strenuous. The handling of that $50,000 of the Itcnnott estate Is certainly a very at tractive proposition , whether It should go for n personal bonotlt or bo distributed to charitable institutions , nnd It Is probable that a real human man , viewing the cnso from n real human standpoint , will not blame Mr. Bryan for fighting the widow for the bequest of her late husband. Sausngo makers at Chicago nro to strike , nnd just at n season of year , too , when that product Is growing In popular favor nnd receiving Increas ing demands. Strikers lately nro us ing considerable tact in timing their events. A coal strike is coming to bo expected nbout the middle of January , almost ns definitely ns It Is expected thnt there will bo n strike of ice cream makers nnd employes In fan fnctories nbout the middle of July. The record of Judge Boyd on the district bench is the strongest argu ment possible to present , favoring his re-olectlon. It is n record descning the endorsement of every man In the district who favors tbo support of the letter and spirit of the law and * who favors the judlclnry being placed above the plane of partisanship , per sonal likes nnd dislikes , nnd one the sole tendency of which is to mete out justlco'lmpartlally nnd fa/irlossly Madison county fuslonlsts are not less shrewd than the fuslonlsts of the state in politicnl moves and if they can offer any cause whatever thnt they think will Induce the rapub- Means to desert their ticket they will not bo slow In giving It nil the weight possible and it may bo shown b - the returns thnt it is essential that the republicans should have every I < . * ! voter at the polls on election day. They nro In the battle to not all they can out of It nnd will bear watching. Tonight In the date sot for the In- niKuratlon of a grunt campaign the ravages of that stealthy ; oo of mankind , consumption , llonry hlppH , the mllllonalro stool mantifac iror , has taken hold of the campaign f education nnd will tlovoto a largo ortlon of his wealth toward an of > rt to orndlcnlo thin dlsenso. If 'ie ' Hiicceasful ho Hhould bo accounted no of the greatest philanthropists of ho country and the world. It It to o hoped that dollnlto results will fol- Tbo World-Herald generously offers he republicans Daniel Freeman's side f bis famous blblo cnso , but really he republicans are not to bo blamed f they do not jump at the offer with pen jaws. The case Is not at IHSUO , nd there nro f-w polltlclnna on cither Ido of the fence who would really are to nee a matter of religious belief ubvorted to politicnl ends In n po- Itiral campaign. The World-Herald , vlll therefore have a rather one-sided out ract In making Judge Sullivan's leelslon a paramout Issuo. Judge larnes may have glvon the fmmo do- Islon , and then again ho may have loclded different , anyway no ono Is rombllug for fear that , whoever Is Reeled , the blblo will bo ordered do- itioyed and'all Christians pilloried , With the nominee of the party naklng hit * homo hero , Madison jounty should gtvo the banner vote > f the state for the ticket , population lonsldorod. Thin much Is duo to a friend and neighbor who la popular ; it homo aa well as abroad. Judge IJarnos will bo gratified by a showIng - Ing of n largo complimentary vote. It Is the concensus of opinion that ho will bo elected , and It will therefore bo no sacrifice of tholr party candi dates If the democrats and populists of the county will do the neighborly and friendly thing and give him a handsome complimentary vote. A largo number of republicans will un doubtedly do as much some time for a homo candidate of the opposi tion party If ono Is over placed In nomination. Kor treasurer Chr. Scbnvlnnd Is mnklng his usunl strenuous campaign and Is finding that his friends throughout the county have shown no falling oft' since last ho tried for of fice. His opponent Is putting up a hard fight and the fnslonlsts are not averse to circulating stories of dls- affectlons among the republicans In certain portions of the county , but Mr. Sehavland's friends Hud that any such dollcctlons from the ranks are difficult to locate and bollovo thnt the returns will show that there la nono. It la not a wise policy to holt the ticket merely because tbo con vention did not do * as certain persons think It should have done , and It Is bollovod thnt voters nro far too In telligent to resort to such tnctlcs. It Is dnngorous to bo nlivo. Death lurks everywhere , and people who are looking for the grim monster us ually have no difficulty In locating him In one way or another. People are killed every day while merely standing still and doing nothing , but those who do something undoubtedly run the greater risks. Thla la aa true of sports and recreations as any thing , but It Is evident from figures given by the Uoston Advertiser that the more strenuous the sport does not always mean the most dan gerous. The Advertiser llnds that last year , whorena there were forty-three deaths resulting from foot ball , there were seventy-one deaths" as the result of the far less strenuous game of bowling. In swimming nine ty-seven persons mot death , while nt bnsobnll there were 21C fntnl acci dents nnd those who wout horsebnck riding contributed 231 to the death record of the year. With Its story before Its readers thnt the supreme judges nro mnrked men , the World-Herald la nt least In a position to sny , "wo told you so , " If , by any possible clinnco , the fusion candidate does not succeed in over coming thnt brutnl ropubllcnn majorIty - Ity thnt hns been In evidence In Ne braska for several yonrs past. There should bo some satisfaction In thnt. Then , porhnps , too , Frcomnn would not bo nverso to nssumlng n shnroof the credit for the result , oven though tbo people of the state had not glvon the issue thnt is being attempted , n second thought.- Undoubtedly It will bo just ns well , however , if neither the World-Herald or Freeman , bank too strongly on the supposition thnt the blblo decision was the solo reason for the handsome majority for the re publican . .candidate. His case would undoubtedly como to grlof before Judge Ramos just as quickly nnd em phatically as it would before Judge Sullivan. W. II. Lowe Is the only candidate for surveyor that In qualified for the iHudtlnn and he nhmlld have an em phatic majority. A week from tomorrow IB election day , when the voters will go to the pulls ' and Inwlst that the Htato bo Uopt l In line for Roosevelt and re publicanism. It Is evident that It will bo unsafe hereafter | ( to talk anarchism. The arroHt of an anarchist lecturer on a warrant sworn out by Secretary Cor- telyou should bo sufficient warning to tbo people of this breed not to at tempt to Incite others to lawlessness. Judge J. U. names Is thoroughly ompctent to administer justice to lie .people of the stnto as ono of the iiombors of the supreme court. The UHlon members of the court have aid so , and there are few of the lolltlclniiH on their side of the fence vho have had the temerity to quos- Ion their exceeding good judgment. In just another week tbo voters vlll go.to tbo polls and register their > roforoncq _ regarding state , district , county and precinct candidates. To ho unprejudiced voter , who will look .ho matter up ono side and down the ) thor with unbiased eyes , the merit ) f the republican ticket should bo a strong appeal for his support , [ ' 'rlonds of the candidates will have 10 hesitancy at nil in asking for the inqualllled support of the ticket , and ho prospects are that tbo majority for the ticket will bo largo. C. F. Elsoloy Is an old and re spected cltl/.en of Madison county and docs not nsk for the people to olovnto him to the olfico of judge without any competency to transact the business of the office. Mr. Else- ley has had , In serving the public , in timate relation with the laws of the state and th'o courts nnd will give the people of the county good service. W. II. Field la ono of the most popular citizens of Jefferson precinct and tbo people up thcro will consider It an honor If the republicans of the county will olovnto him to tbo dis trict clerkship , besides ho la n thorough business man and fully qualified in every way for the duties of the office. Ills should bo ono of the big , spontaneous majorities on the ticket. It is probable that in most coun ties the names of the parties by which they were nominated will ap pear In connection with the names of the candidates for district Judge , but there may bo a few in this dis trict that will not bo so designated. In which event It may bo well for iho voter to remember that J. F. Doyd Is tbo present Judge and tbo re publican candidate for re-election. J. J. Clements fs fully deserving of the honor that would bo conferred upon him by the people of Madison county should they again choose him for tholr sheriff. Mr. Clements Is conscientious in the performance of his duties , and with the experience that two terms have given him In looking after the Interests of the people - plo and meting out justice to the lawless ho Is thoroughly capable of satisfactorily attending to the du ties of the olfico for another term. Goo. D. Smith should have a strong lead for county commissioner. Ho Is popular In his homo district , and were It loft to his homo voters there would bo no question of the result. Under the now law , however , the voters of the netlro county will have a say on the question of who shall represent tbo Second district nnd Mr. Smith's numerous friends hero hope thnt the voters throughout will thor oughly realize Mr. Smith's fitness for the office and will glvo him unquali fied endorsement. There now nppoars to bo no ques tion but thnt the campaign will close lively enough to Interest all voters In turning out to the polls on elec tlon day , but the republican party can afford to take no chances. The cnmlldntos nnd the workers should not rest until every vote Is re corded In on the night of election. Over confidence might bo the undo ing of tbo party , nnd there nro none thnt should bo confident thnt the voters ers will turn out until they hnvo seen their ballots properly deposited. J. L. Rynoarson is eminently quali fied to open the now olTlco of county assessor , ns provided for by the re cent session of the state legislature. It Is an office thnt the people deslro to see conducted right ns between the interests of tbo stnto and the property owners , and those who know him boat are thoroughly con vinced that Mr. Hynearson Is the very man for the position. Ho Is Intimate - timato with the people of the county and understands the vnluo of proper ty , BO that an assessment under his -uporvlsloii la certain to bo fair nnd equitable to all Ills majority should , and will undoubtedly bo largo and convincing' It would seem that the farmers of NobniHl.a could make us good money at raising alfalfa for the seed as they could at any other buslnoHS they might undertake. With prices pre vailing nt from $7 to $8 per bushel there | would bo n largo source of ovenuo fiom the crop , not to men- Ion the value of the straw from a . ( 'coder's ' ( standpoint. It Is said that ho reason for the prevailing high irlco for the seed comes from an ox- onslvo demand for It to bo used In olorlng fabrics. Clover seed was brmorly used extensively for this mrpoae , but It was found that alf- ilfa seed was superior for the pur .lose , hence the constant demand for ho product. It requires an extra keen and ob saving follower of turf events to keep ip with the rapid and kaleidoscopic changes among the kings and queens jf the track. Ono day one la upper moat nnd the next day the honors go to another speedy animal , and the way records are being shattered and re- iluccd Is a caution. It has been the feature of the racing season and at each trial of n speedy animal or ono giving promise of speed , Interest Is : it a high ebb , nnd thcro hnvo been few such trials that did not knock seconds or pieces of seconds from the record. Since tbo tlmo hns beei reduced below the two mlnuto mark it la quite tbo common thing for the famous trotters nnd pacers to take It down other notches. Madison county should nppreclnto the honor thnt It will have througl being represented on the supreme bench by a cltl7.cn , and ono of whom none wll have reason to bo ashamed It la n high honor for any localltj nnd for the sake of this honor , If no for the nclghborllness of tbo thing partisanship should bo cast "aside am the vote of the county should go al most solidly for Judge names. There nro.fuslonlsts . who are so bidi bound that they would not vote fo a republican even though ho was a neighbor or a friend or a brother There are republicans exactly as narrow-minded who would sacrifice friendship or blood relationship 01 the altar of partisanship , but it Is not right , nnd It Is to bo hoped tha the broadmlnded men of every party In Norfolk , Madison county nnd north cast Nebraska will subvert partisan ship for once nnd glvo Judge name ; a rousing complimentary vote. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. la the vein of prosperity plnchin up ? No mnn becomes so good that b loves bis enemies or his opposition. When u mnn exclaims , "Isn't tha swell , " ho establishes bis own rating Unfortunately , the people who sa dlsngrconblo things do most of th talking. The workmen In the labor union are all right but the professionals nr all wrong. The camera Is a great commonci A ? 2 dross looks just as good as $20 ono , in n picture. At this season of the year , thequar relsomo one gets up early so that h can argue about the frost. When n man gives you both bar rels , what la the best thing to do Is It best to walk away or fire back Our idea of a very courageous per son is ono who attempts to tell Joke to n person who is bard of hear Ing. When a man's second wife uses a quilt or a hymn book that belonged to his first wife , there is great indigna tion. If a man's ancestors handed him down a few silver dollars honestly earned , ho doesn't care who gets the teapots. An Atcblson school teacher Is so critically learned that she never gets a letter , everyone Is afraid to write her ono. With all respect to Edward Bole , ho pays too much attontloji to the parlor ornament nnd not enough to the kit chen drudge. Wo hnvo noticed thnt most of the compliments glvon n mnn have nn impediment Uod on ns big ns the can to n dog's tall. A mnn who hns two love affairs on the string nt tbo same time , has n harder time preventing collisions than a train dispatcher. Don't bo too liberal with ill natured comments nbout people ; tbo tlmo may come when the people will have a chance to get back nt you. Wo suppose that when dandruff gets In It , a woman has as much roitblo with her crown of glory as If t were plain hair , Ilka n man's. The mark of ability Is up high , and f you can't roach It , you'ro not much ood. The Intormedlato position does ot amount to anything. Wo have noticed this peculiarity of atcbwork quilts : All of thorn scorn o hnvo been made by some woman of 0 who didn't wear glasses. There Is only ono known advantage n boarding over living nt homo : If man boards It la not treason for ilm to say so when bo Is dissatisfied. This Is the season when fnrmors illo apples under the trees near the lenco , In order to send town people , o hell ; they ride by nnd steal them. Wo hnvo noticed thnt when most icoplo tnko up what they call "news paper training , " It Is by writing per sonals about themselves for the pa- iiers. You hnvo n right to your own opln ons , of course ; but see thnt they are ia sensible as possible , for a poor > plnlon la liable to do you great harm. A quarrel Is never settled by nr bltrntlon. But when two -men fight to a finish , and both are badly pun Ished , their quarrel has been settlotl for good. Wo object to the now style of n scoop lint ; It looks ns If It would bo harder than over to get nt n girl's mouth without disarranging her spec ial scenery. After a girl who works down town all week , gets over the notion that II Is wicked to sow on buttons and crochet on Sunday , she begins to enjoy life more. Is the apple or the cook to blame ? Apple pies look these days ns if there were a number of hard tumors under the crust , Indicating that the npplo is still In uncooked lumps. We do not ndmlro any garment a woman wears which Is called "negligee. " Not knowing French , wo have an Idea thnt It Is duds she puts on while she neglects things. If a girl becomes a bride on the 1st , nnd the cards sny she will be n homo after the 20th , along about the 5th , she begins to count the hours til the 20th , and her friends will appear A man went Into an Atchlson drug store lately , and bought a bottle of dyspepsia medicine. "It won't do you any good , " the druggist said ; "nothing will help dyspepsia except dieting and eating less. " The women should take down the "Eat , Drink and bo Merry" cardboard mottoes from the dining room , nnd put up the following , from n philos opher : "One-fourth of what wo eat keeps us. The other "three-fourths wo keep at the risk of our lives. " The old mnn has his troubles. "I told my son tbo other day , " said n citizen this morning , "thnt If ho lived i at homo after ho reached his twenty- first birthday , he would hnvo to pay his board. It was tho. hardest thing I was ever called upon to do , but I felt it was for his own good. " An Atchlson mnn Is playing It on his wife and children proper. lie says ho has dyspepsia , and that the doctor says ho mustn't eat anything except the white meat of the chicken. The man's wlfo and children \hero fore patiently fall heir to the back bones , drumsticks , gizzards , etc. During the past two years an Atchl- son woman has nursed her children through three attacks of measles , ono scarlet fever , two mumps , three whooping coughs , and ono arm brok en , and has had five hired girls nnd a baby. She had nervous prostration , and the neighbors said she had ono coming to her. Fame comes shambling along at such a slow gait that It often doesn't often overtake a man until they nre putting him in hia coffin. There is Fred Tucker , the Topeka liveryman who was shot nnd killed by a negro Saturday. Now that It is too Into for him to enjoy it the doctors find thnt his wound was like McKlnloy's. Some men know only ono path , and that la narrow. There la n brand path thnt does not lead to hell. It Is traveled by progresslvo nmon of Intelligence ; mon behave themselves because thut Is tbo best way. Don't get Into a narrow rut , for there Is n broad rend where the traveling Is easier , and whore you can do more for yourself nnd others. At n recent mooting of the Fntbors * club It wns decided that It Is fool ish to expect any consideration from a daughter who Is receiving the at tention of n young mnn. Ono gray haired member recalled " that his daughter didn't look nt him for two years at such a time , but now that she Is married , nnd her husband isn't the god she thought , she thinks her father the greatest nnd best man on onrtb.
