Sonatora should bo careful In tholr quotations from President McKlnloy when Senator Hanna Is present. Perhaps today you are thankful that the turUey'n revenge on your gastronomic arrangement did not prove fatal. Some towns are reporting a short- ngo of coal , but It Is noticed that those consumers having a winter's nupply In tholr bins are not losing nny sloop over the matter. Now after having eaten your Thanksgiving dinner , you may bo thankful if the symptoms are not present In your system to Indicate that you have overdone the Job , The young folks may fool thankful that Christmas Is not now far away , Jl but such has not boon cause for any thankfulness on the part of father and mother who put up for their fun.

World-Herald. The Plorco Loader complains that the compositors run short of Va when they sot up ono of the president's speeches. Perhaps the Loader would recommend that the president should employ the editorial wo" In his addresses. Senator Morgan may find In Sena tor Hanna a formidable opponent t when It comes to a discussion of the Panama canal question. The senator from Ohio was In ovldonco when the southern member undertook to toll what was Mr. MclClnloy's position on the question. It takes two days for the house of representatives to bo thankful for the many blessings bestowed upon that body at least It took an ad journment from Tuesday until Fri day. Perhaps the real cause of Thanksgiving , however , was that there was nothing doing to attract the attonlon of the congressmen. With the settlement of the Chicago strike and a fo\v other strikes that nro still on , perhaps the business of the country will reach Its old fa miliar prosperity level which has been a marked characteristic of the business world during the past several - oral years. It Is a condition to bo desired - sired and there are few so pessimis tic and desirous of calamity that they would desire conditions to grow nny worse than they have been. In giving the people of the country tholr newspaper reading It Is figured that CC9.212 tons of paper are used a year , which moans the consump tion of thousands of cords of wood J" 1 waste paper , rags and other raw ma terials that go Into the manufacture of paper , at which thousands of nion are employed. It is one of the gi gantic inductrlos of the country , and the people who road the papers are steadily contributing a mlto to carry forward this vast enterprise. Will M. Maupln of the Commoner has written a poem on Nebraska that has been set to stirring march music , and It is hoped by his friends that It will prove of sufficient merit with the music lovlhg people of the stnto to entitle its use as a "state" song. There Is n national song , and a num ber of the states , among which are Iowa and Illinois , have "state" songs that are sung with enthusiasm by the school children and the people generally. It would not bo a bad Idea nt all for Nebraska to have a state song , and It is to bo hoped that Col. j Maupln has reached all the require ments in this lino. Marc C. Perkins , for many years manager of the Omaha branch of the American Press association , has re signed his offlco and will , with the first of the year , go to Columbus to undertake the business management of the Columbus Telegram , which is and will be edited by Judge Edgar Howard , Thoao two Rentlomon will nmlco a tonm that will bo bard to boat , and It Is expected by tholr frlouds that the Telegram will blou- join like the rose and take from the bank accounts and pocket books of the people a full share of the good old republican prosperity that has en abled Mr. Hryan to take a trip abroad. The newspaper men who have had dealings with Mr. Perkins In the past will unite In winning him abundant HUCCOBH In his now undertaking. Ho will be mlsHod from the ofllco of the American Press nnsoclntlon , but his Nebraska friends will bo gratified to know that ho will remain In the stato. Norfolk has nil the advantages that should go toward the making of n city of at least 10,000 to 1G.OOO pcoplo and that IH Just what It Is going to become In a few short years , If everyin thing continues favorable. The bimlor IIOHH men and property owners nro Just beginning to realize that the fure turo of the city IH moat brilliant and will do what they may from now on , beyond a doubt , for Its advancement to the place It IH destined to occupy among the towns and cities of the stato. It IH In the center of a pros- porous1 section of country , has splendid - did railroad advantages and has a claim of pcoplo who are awake to Its possibilities. Many who have llvod here during the early days and clung to tholr property through hard timoe mid prosperity will some day fully realize on tholr Investment , and will bo reimbursed for tholr faith In the fu ture of the town , beyond a doubt. Norfolk's future may bo a long time developing , but there are those who are certain It will develop , and they will not bo disappointed. Norfolk property IH a good Investment , nml tboHo who have choice slices are not poor by any manner of moans. The World-Horald appears to bo highly amused to think that there nro Homo "full" dinner palls In the Now England states that are In need of repair. The World-Herald Is not unique In rejoicing over ovldonco of calamity. There are hundreds of democrats In the country and many of them preside at newspaper desks , who would take off tholr hats and swing them high If only an era of calamity and hard times would come over the country that would make It possible for tholr party to win at the polls next year , and with the dlssat- Isfnctlon with President Roosevelt of some of the men who have It In tholr power to do things toward the manip ulation of prices and business condi tions , this may bo Just what Is on the program for next year if the people ple nro not too wide awake to fall Into the trap. A president of the Uoosovolt stamp Is abhorrent to the trust magnates and the rascals of the country , but bo Is Just the kind of president the people should want to prevent the country from getting nny deeper Into the clutches of the octo puses , and It may bo that they will insist on his ro-olectlon oven though , all kinds of calamity are scattered through the country in the Interest of the capitalists. Next year ( ho state will commence the rebuilding of the Norfolk hospital for the Insane , the United States court bouse building will bo completed and the Mulshing touches will bo put on the now Northwestern yards at South Norfolk , which should bo enough to Interest the building trades represented in Norfolk , but In add ! tlon to these there will undoubtedly bo as many semi-public and to Improvements undertaken as ro were this year , and Norfolk will again bo a bee hive of Industry. Steadily and surely the city Is building up and will finally occupy the position that has boqn laid out for It by nature and environment as ono of the lead- Ing cities of the stato. The town maybe bo a long tlmo In reaching its des tiny , but the record of the past year Is Indication that It will develop * ' rapidly Into ono of the chief cities of the state , and the first in north Ne braska. It is not dinicult to picture in the mind's eye a thoroughly metro politan little city In the not far dis tant future. It has the foundation for such a realization in Its location in the midst of a fertile farming country at the conllux of two rich valleys , and as a railroad center It is already well assured of always occupying nn Inv portnnt relation to the roads trnvers Ing this portion of the stato. Norfolk has soon discouragements , but It has gone through panics In bettor shape , than many other towns and It Is now enjoying an abundant prosperity that may well bo envied by the other towns of the stato. It is a town with a secure future and those that have been and are Investing hero are doIng - Ing so with strong confidence In the development of the place. Norfolk has many enterprising citizens who have worked hard and continuously for Us development confident that tholr's will bo the reward , and they are not likely to bo disappointed. While In London Mr. Ilryan visited the bank of England , but It has not yet been authoritatively reported that ho IntondH to purclmHO the Institution mid add It to his chattels at FairC(1 . view. Perhaps It Is none too early to wonder ( whether the fuslonlsts have now got tholr nil of fusion , or will they continue to hang together as long as there IB a remnant of either party ' ' loft ? It Is now up to the weather man to rowtoro that delightful Nebraska brand of Indian summer that was re tired for a few dayn about Thanks giving tlmo , and keep It going until Christmas tlmo. Christmas Is next on the program , and It Is less than a live short wooko in the future. However , nearly everyone - ono will have settled tholr Thanks giving feast by that time , and bo ready for another. Anyway the democrats can not find fault with Minister Powell for jjlvlng too prompt recognition to a revolu tionary ge > vornniont. Ho steadfastly tlin refuses to deal officially with the pro visional government In San Domingo. Only n little moro than a month of . . 1903 remains , and with 190-1 comes . the quadronnlal presidential election and leap year. Husbandloss girls and the politicians will bo smirking and smiling around about the siuno tlmo. , A Philadelphia man had $25,000 worth of Jewelry stolen from hl.s resi dence ou Thanksgiving day. Ho was probably thankful , If ho could be thankful at all , that ho had so much valuable property In his homo to tie stolen. Over In London they have given up the lining of conductors for the over crowding of street cars and are now arresting the passenger , with what promises to bo bettor results. The plan should bo tried in some Ameri can cities. The report that 'Dr. Mary Baker's house had boon burglarized , loads the State Journal to wonder If it la really so , or was Mother Eddy fur the moment brought low by mortal error and led to bollovo that there wore burglars In the houso. District Attorney Summers came , back from Washington with the lock jaw , the muscles of his face absolutely - ly refusing to work In reply to ca - lions of reporters anxious to get some' thing late on the Dietrich case from him for their papers. Perhaps the thought that every thing they say receives publication , Inspires some of the politicians to ton" try for a seat In congress. The Con gressional Hecord manages to print about every word that Is said on the lloor of the house or the senate cham ber. Mr. Bryan is trotting In pretty high ; society in England. However , It maybe bo Just because ho wishes to Inform the other common people how they act over thoro. It cannot bo cquceded by his friends that ho Is merely over there for pleasure and to dispose of some of the collateral prosperity ho has acquired. Perhaps , after all , It is not of first Importance of how much you have to bo thankful for , but how much you can bo thankful for what you havo. The man who has a good appetite and a slice of bacon has moro to bo thank ful for than the millionaire , with tur key and oysters and no stomach worthy of the name. The Nebraska football players have rightly been named the Cornhuskers. They are a husky lot of buskers , and hall from the state having the great est crop In the world to husk. The husky voices that urged them on toby victory against the men from Illinois have every reason to bo proud of the buskers and of the husklness of their ! reown voices , Panama's prompt acceptance of the provisions of the isthmian canal treaty Is an Indication that the now republic Is destined to fill a long felt ! want in isthmian diplomatic negotia tions. It Is perfectly clear that the people down there know n good prop , osition when they see ono and wore only deterred from a prompt accept ance of the previous treaty by Col ombia. Prohibitionists may bo startled by byE. the declaration of Prof. Edwin E. Sparks of the University of go in n public lecture , that for ry death caused in the United States last year by drunkenness three others wore caused by Inexperienced work men. The Inference to bo drawn is that lack of mechanical training has caused scores of accidents whereby human lives have been sacrificed to the greed of employers who are obllvloim ; to the fact that cheap labor IH dear labor. Omaha Ileo. The men elected to the offices of county assessor In each county nro ntlll on the anxious bench and may continue to consider that scat espec ially reserved for their occupancy for some days yet. The supreme court will finally lot thorn know , however , whether or not they may consider tholr Jobs good enough to last until they draw something bettor from the political deck. With two baby republics hanging onto Undo Sam's apron strings , the old gentleman may bo excused If ho casts about to see whcro the next Is coming from. Perhaps It will bo Can ada that will next assert Its Indepen dence , but that will bo no small affair , and there nro not a few pcoplo of this country who would bo sorry to have Great llrltaln severed from all con nection with the now world. The Dietrich case has attracted national attention , but it Is of the same undesirable quality of publicity given Nebraska by the Bartloy do- falcatlon. It is something of the grade as the attention attracted to Carolina by Senator Tlllman. Other states may have worse senators than Mr. Dietrich , but they have escaped Indictments by any grand Juries , but . perhaps , the Nebraska way is the best. Colombia now says that she does not particularly wish to raise a rough house about it , but she must have the dear little isthmus back. If It Hoes not come back for the stick of candy and the now rubber doll held out In front of and to attract it , then a switch will have to bo resorted to. It looks , however , as though little Panama cared nothing for the candy of the switch. She Is probably used to the buffs of old Mother Colombia. It Is not so much to bo wondered at , after all , that "Gas" Addicks has failed to secure the senatorshlp that Delewaro has had to give out. It has just coino to light that ho owes a dressmaker $18,000 , the sameftaving e * boon awarded by the court , because ho lute-rested the ptfjr woman in worthless investments.by which she lost all her savings. A man who would do that and not make It good does not deserve to represent Dela ware , any moro than Dietrich does Nebraska If bo is proven guilty of selling postofllccs. aGrovor Cleveland has again em- plmtlcnlly declined to become the democratic candidate for president and the leaders of that party will bo compelled to hunt the field over for someone else who will consent to wear the laurel wreath that they would place on his brow. This hunt for a candidate who will accept and stand a show of an election is almost as inspiring as the vain .search of that party for an issue or set of issues that will answer the requirements for platform material. David B. Hill has not spoken for some tlmo. Perhaps ho would take the empty honor of leading In the fight against President Hoosovelt. Now that it has again boon deter- mined that the Bartloy bondsmen are in no wise liable for the funds ho stole from the state as treasurer , the people of the state may again assume that far-away look as If to see where the source is from which the state will bo re-imbursed for the ox-treat- urer's shortcomings , and may resume their calculations of the problem without danger of further serious in tnrninf inn . It appears to the many that the limit of the matter has been reached. The state could not re cover from Bartloy , ho was not oven deserving of Imprisonment and now the court says that the men who stood as his guarantee for the faith ful performance of his duty were not ful performance of his duty were to make good what has been lost to the state. The Sioux City Journal says : "Tho Omaha World-Horald would like to see a non-partisan judiciary in No- braska , If It Is democratic. " Well , a democratic judiciary would natnraly bo non-partisan. World-Herald. In view of the returns from the recent election showing a majority of some- thing like n score of thousands for the republican ticket , the election of n democrat to any offlco would bo the strongest kind of ovldonco of nonpartisanship - partisanship , but the World-Horald , as remarked during the campaign , never realized the full value of nonpartisan - partisan elections until It know bo- yonnd a doubt that the fusion major ities had gone glimmering , and the sincerity of the present advocates of non-partisan elections can never be yond a doubt that the fusion major- accepted by the majority party under these conditions. When the republi can party was down It never played the baby act for votes , but took its medicine like a man. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. It I makes a woman nervous to go . . shopping with her husband for fear ho will get ashamed and make her buy ! something. The only way to end nn argument with a woman Is not to begin It. Somehow when you kiss a girl where a freckle Is It never scorns to taste the way It looked as if It would. An armful of girl Is pretty exciting the first tlmo. It Is hard to convince a woman that the milkman doesn't know moro ab'out the way to make the furnace burn than the man who built It. When a man's deceptions seem to fool his wife it Is because she wants them to. The rccison bachelors like to bo In love with married women Is because they can do It without having to mar ry them. When a man gives up his scat In a car ' to an ugly woman It is a sign ho IH getting out at the corner. When a girl asks a man to tlo her shoo string you'd think to look at her face that she had asked him to cut the leaves of a book for her. A maid will marry anything , n IdoW wants n man. A man who could love a wife ton cars older than ho would think It as fun to swear off smoking. When a man takes whiskey for mo- iclnal purposes , ho pays whopping ilg doctors' bills. When you see a couple anxious to 10 alone It is a sure sign they are not married. The place where you get married Is jailed the altar because 'tis where .ho sacrifice begins. Mighty few women can toll the dlf- 'erenco between being made love to and being loved. It is very Impertinent of a man to vocp looking at a woman so much ; hat she has to keep looking at him to sec If bo is doing It. Now York Press. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. How quickly a good boy attracts attention. A Topeka Birdie is trying to wipe out the past by signing her name Blrdenla. What has become of the old fash ioned man who referred to a lame per son as "cush footed ? " Abuse the rich , but It Is well to re member that you never made a dollar off a man that didn't have one , No girl makes as pretty a picture In bed as the novelists , in writing up burglaries and fires , represent her. A church usher Is a man who takes to the front seats these who would like to sneak into a scat In the rear. The method nt present employed by American girls in getting wedding presents , is little less than highway robbery. There never was nny ono.in . the world who attained the perfection of congeniality when It came to scratch ing a friend's back. A girl is always willing to tell when she Is about to be married , but a man goes up into the air when approached by a reporter. "That man , " said a Missourian to day , speaking of a neighbor , "is as nigh to nothing as anything I over see that wore clothes. " When a woman admits that a man loves his wife , she says that ho loves her In "his way , " Indicating that it is a selfish way. When a woman kept her hand busy all the tlmo with some kind of work It used to bo called industry. These days Is It "nervousness. " Ever occur to you that much of the so-called nro Is not art at all ? In every art gallery of paintings , there are more daubs than pictures. "A thin woman who claims to bo delicate is bad enough , " said nn un sympathetic woman today , "but a delicate fat woman Is the limit. " Speaking of nerve : It must require a good deal of It in n general manager receiving $40,000 a year to reduce sec tion men to a dollar and a quarter a day , "It looks to mo like every tlmo I got fifteen or twenty dollars , " n farm er said today , "I am compelled to pay it out. " That's the trouble with all of us. It may look pretty In heaven for all the clothes to bo white , but It leaves the dear old woman who wants to make a patchwork quilt terribly handicapped for colors.

When on your way down town In the morning you meet a physician go ing j home to breakfast , and you can't help feeling that he has about $15 start on you on the day's work. Hardwood floors are not the only objectionable incident of wealth ; It is possible to bo so rich that a man hns to walk through flvo rooms and the hall after lighting the gas , to find a place to drop the match. A married man was walking along the street Thursday evening , with a single young woman. His wife and a woman friend , evidently out on a tour of Inspection , encountered them head on at 9 p. m. It wasn't neces sary to send for a wrecker , but It Is said that a switch or two was dis placed. Humanity is really very funny. Judges of the supreme court gamble ; society women gamble ; business men play poker as much as they please , Slot machines arc tolerated , and they 1 are the worst robbers the police know anything about. But let a boy play craps , and the entire police force Is on his back. A boy may play the slot machines , which are robbersand there \ : is no protest , but let him play craps , and ho is promptly arrested. Some young fellows are proud of the fact that they are "stayers ; " that they can drink more whiskey than any of the other young fellows. Whiskey makes them sick , and they don't want It , but somehow they think It smart to drink it. Whore did this fool im pression come from ? Have you as sisted In giving the impression ? When a man gets up to lecture , ho makes It appear that good conduct is a task. This Is a mistake ; hero is where the trouble probably originates. Success in life is easier than failure. An In dustrious , worthy man lives an easier life than the loafer , the liar and the dead beat. This Is not preaching ; it is the plain , simple truth.
