Norfolk IH very evidently dolor mined to keep pace with the now northwoHt , and the people of tlio north mid went will certainly appro clato that showing of untorprlHo that the gnUnvny city IH preparing to os- tnhllHh. i The St. l.onlH exposition IH duo lo open Saturday of thlH week. There are a few people In Norfolk who wll not ho present at the opening exor cises , but there are likewise those hi who may ho depended upon to visit r the big show later In the season. A Gormmi professor Una written a book In which ho calls the Monroe doctrine absurd. It depends a great tloal on the point of view from whlcl a person looks at It , and the profos son , perhaps , Is not In a position U BOO It from an American standpoint Tlioro Is not much wonder tha there have boon Hoods In Kansas am Missouri when .lupltor 1'lnvlus has become so generous with his moltt turo as to spill out fourteen Inche of wet during two successive days That would start Hoods , even In No braska. The management of the Nebraska state fair has evidently considered the possibility and the probability of the early bird getting the worm and Is already out with the announcement of the speed program to bo given dur ing the fair August 2 ! > to September The Engineering Record of Chlca- go Is positive that the Northwestern * is to build from Casper to the coast and friends of the road will hope It ia not mistaken as they would be much pleased to see this evidence of development , prosperity and Indepen dence of other trans-continental lines. As far as planting Is concerned Nebraska farmers are right now ready to reap another bumper crop. Many of them only have the planting of corn left to worry about. They have been working when the town people have been shivering about the lire and wondering If spring was really going to conic nt all. Chicago Is planning to hnvo Its cel ebrations , particularly of the Fourth of July , under the auspices of a com- niittco of citizens , responsible to the municipal administration for Its acts. It Is presumed that there will bo a rush of applications from Young America for membership on the tire cracker exploding committee. With the proclamation opening the Rosebud reservation to settlement only a little more than two weeks away , there is not much time for pros pective settlers In the reservation to visit the country and make their se lections of property , and it may ho expected that the rush to the now northwest will begin at a very early date. The Hussions now announce that they are prepared to deliver that stinging , vital blow to Japan , and the only point to bo decided is whether or not the Japs are prepared to re ceive such n blow nnd retire more or less gracefully from the contest. It Is presumed , of course , by the strut- oglHlH. that they will have something to Hay about the matter The IIOUHO nnd the Hunnto made no IOIH-H or fiiHii bout gutting together in the amendmentH to the Klnknld III nnd If the president will now nt- ach bin iilgnatuie , section fnrniH of acres each will become popular n western NehniHkn , mid there will lie iiomethlng of a rush to determine ivho Hhnll hnvo the pick of homostomlH iiiciiHiirlng n mile each way. With all of thlH presidential and Ice piesldentlal talk going about > vor thii country nnd none of It Htrlk- ng In the near neighborhood of -IH Adlnl SteveiiHon , It Is probably reasonably Hafo to nrrlvu nt the con- hiHlon Hint ho Is Irrevocably mini- leied nmong the political dead ilueUH. I'o one who stood on the Hamo plat- 'orin with Clovelnnd and then with Irynn It may be that there are pos sibilities , however. Norfolk Is not the only town In until Nebraska that Is showing a Hlunt of enterprise not exceeded In ithor parlH of the Hlalo and other slaloH. Almost every town In his section of the state IH showing n growth and development very grati fying to those who huvo pinned their faith here. Invested money and resolved solved to llvo hnpplly hero forever itter. Some are doing more than illioni , but HOMO are at standstill. It Is nothing HO very desirable to hold a high and honorable olllco In Spain , If I he experience of Premier Maura Is to bo taken as an example. Twice In a month his life has been at tempted by anarchists. Once ho WIIH thrust at with a Htllleto and the second end time a bullet whl//ed past his head and burled Itself in the roof of the car which ho occupied. AH far as the danger IH concerned a person might almost an well he n horselhlof mid tnke his chances In Texan. The packers nnd other big buyers continue to lop off n few cents every day or two from the price of beef on ( ho hoof , while the householder con tllnues lo full to notice nny corresponding pending decrcnso In the price of bin stenk. It doesn't seem | HsslbIo that the packers should ho able to dictate the prlccH both ways whan the pro ducer and the consumer nre so near together , but they mnnngo It In some mnnner. How long the situation will bo In their power is n matter of con jecture. Franco has reason to show a passIng - Ing friendship for Husslii In the pres ent dllllcnUy , If her Hothchllds mid other money lenders are to bo per mitted to loan the Moscovitcs n lit tle $1(50.000,000 ( at a good and gener ous percent of Interest. If NaiKileon was alive at this day and ago of the world ho would undoubtedly recom mend this method as a far more sat isfactory way of getting a stnndln on anything Russian than battering at their doors with great gnus and small guns and bright red lire. They hnvo heard It In Washington that Nebraska Is going -25,000 for Roosevelt this full. It looks as though It would bo the first time In eight years when the people of this state would hnvo an opportunity of showing the country just where they stand on political policies without having their judgment biased by loy- nlty to n favored democratic son who has been ns ixipulnr as his politics would allow him in bis homo state , and the 25.000 mark Is perhaps none too high to express the situation. The showing up of the figures at which the rallmnds nre listing their property furnishes evidence conclu sive that the corporations of the state are not the ones to furnish the people an example of honesty and upright ness. Under the new law property Is supposed to bo listed at Its full val uation , but If the railroad property Is given In for what It Is considered .to bo worth the oillclals may find It nec essary to arm their agents and sec tion men with stout clubs to standoff would bo purchasers who would bid them In at the figures returned. Foreign authors are evidently find ing that nothing takes In America quite so well as something attacking the country and ridiculing the people. It is perhaps not disadvantageous' the country that this Is so. When n foreign critic shoots wide of his mark In discussing American people and their ways , no ono Is more amused and appreciative of the work than the American people , and when their criticisms are within reason , no people ple are more ready to take advantage of the lessons convoyed than are the Americans. Criticism is liked much bettor than flattery , nnd more good is certainly to bo derived , and If the foreign writers hnvo not exhausted the Hold they are cordially Invited to keep their criticism mid ridicule turned in this direction. They hnvo nit , so far , micccodcd In stunting the growth of I'ncle Sum In any marked legreo and It IH doubtful If they can. With the opening of Ilia lUmebud enervation thin mimmcr , the going nto effect of the new homeHtend Inw ; lvlng a section to the nettle , nnd ho general renHonahlenesH of price mil high qualities of lands In north Nebraska It would m > cm Impossible ) lint nny Innd-hungry person should Ind It ( KiHHlblo to visit tills section bin muniner nnd bo sent empty away. Certainly the Inducements nre greater than nny ( lint hnvo been iffered Hlnco the first rugged pioneers ntored the state nnd curved homcH nit of the raw pralrloH.

( luvornor Mickey ban Inmied a proc lamation dcslrhig tha people of Ne braska to observe May III In nn up- proprlnte manner , that date being the semi centennial nnnlvorHnry of the signing of the KaiisaH-Nebraslta bill. \iuong other rcromiiicudntlonH the governor says : "I suggest that on the Friday preceding , the schools of the Hlnte take cognl/ance of the mat ter and by appropriate exerclsas dial lenge attention to the progress of the half century , the history attending the birth of the territory and seek to Inculcate such lessons of patriotism as befit the occasion. It also scorns proper I hat on the Sababth preceding the anniversary the pastors of the Htiito should make reference to the event from the sacred desk mid give their congregations some thoughts on the growth and do velopmeiit of our commonwealth and the blessings of 1'rovldenco that have been vouchsafed to us. I recommend that the people generally recognize the anniversary and assist In its oh Horvmico In any mnnner that seems most convenient. " ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. The lecturer Is the worst form of amateur. When a friend tells you of his wrongs , he wants sympathy , and nol an argument. When sonio one you dislike dies am goes to heaven , do you wonder 1 : they are taking a mean advantage o you by telling about you ? Wo are glad wo cannot bo referrei to as a sport. When a man quits smoking , how proud he IB of It ! As people grow older the flee keeps growing farther away ever > time they try ( .0 stoop over. This Is the season of the year whei wo think we are busy until wo SQO t heir with n Hock of young chickens. When n man says that ho doesn' like his wife , In order to tease her It Is n sure' thing that ho does. Wo advise the women to see al they can of the men while on earth there will bo a dearth of them h heaven. A man occaslanally break's even When It comes to wall paper , the wife does the picking and the husbatu does the kicking. Everyone should have saved u\ \ enough money to take things n littl easier by the time the age comes fo taking a nap In n chair. Occasionally you sec a man who 1 so little compared with his wife am daughters that ho reminds you ofth meat In a restaurant sandwich. When a man's jokes are not n sue cess ho is liable to call his listener Englishmen. The trouble is not wltl the listeners ; the jokes are not funn > If wo were n man with dimples nn couldn't cover up the holes wit putty , wo would grow shlskers eve thorn. ( Wo say this because wo nr jealous. ) Wo have noticed that a man recog nixes no kin removed beyond the second end degree , while his wife takes th thirty-third degree and then scans th horizon. Remember , when tolling a secret t a friend , that llvo minutes after yo leave him , ho will ho saying to sonic one : "It Is a secret , but It won't bur If I toll you. " An Atchlson girl who Is In lov with a worthless man will bo sent t visit a sister who married that klm on the principle that the hair of th dog cures the bite. Wo lately mentioned the case o Lysandor John Appleton , lovely char nctcr , who had the body of his wife' first husband brought from Now Jer sey , nnd burled besldo her. Pcopl say now that ho hns her fixed ou roperly. ho will mnrry ngnln , nnd my another lot In tha cemctry for ilniHolf mid second wife. Before n girl IH married uho IIROH 10 telephone to intiko engagements Itlr her sweetheart , nnd after she IB married HIO IIHOB It to mnko engage- , mentH with her mother. We all talk so much about the Coni ng Man Hint the man who linn nctu- Hy arrived , nnd doing his work faith- ully mill well , IB neglected. Wo nro o nnxlous to abuse each other that vo credit our own wisdom to the end. and wonder that the men of oday are not an Hinurt no the men f old ! Why nro people so anxious o abuse each other ? Why not help ach other over the rough places ? What exciiHO did your mother in cut for sending yon out of the room vhen you were n child and she want- d to talk about something nol good or children to hear ? An AtchlHon voinan recalls that her mother used o Hcnd her for corn cohH. On onooo union , she filled everything In the { lichen with cobs , and her mother cop ! sending her out for more. She till wonders what It WIIH they didn't van ) her to hear that took so long o tell. The ( ilobo's chaperon dopailiueiit Is solely for the men. They need ad vice , and who IH there to give It ? One young man writes : "I have called on S. M. .1. four times , nnd tnk in her to the theater twice. I find hat she Is not my n ( Unity. After pay ng her this much attention , during \hlch I have made no mention of o\e , Is It too late for mo to turn back with honor ? " Wo say It Is. What do you say , 0. II. ? ( Gentle reader , that stands for. ) TIMELY TOPICS. The Norfolk News Is coming right o the front , and Its editor , Mr. Huso , s to bo complimented for his good work. Pierce Leader. No one can read the account of the crimes of the car barn bandits mid say It Is well to abolish capital pun shmcnt for all crimes. When It COIIKM to such cold blooded murderers as I hose , and to negro rapist-murderers the ordinary man Is content with per mittlng the law to stand , yet for a while. As between the strangling of Innocent babes for some possible weakness and the car barn bandit let It be the car barn bandit , until further notice. Grand Island Inde- penent. . . . The quality of the heroism required to make a republican In the south Is llnvtrntcd by the fact that in the Louisiana election of last week the party did not poll enough votes in a large number of parishes to entltlo It to a place on the ivcxt olllcinl bal lot. In New Orleans , In particular , republicans must run "by petition" hereafter , if the strict letter of the law Is to bo followed. Of course that may be an actual advantage to the candidates , but it Is certainly discou raging to the patriots who are striv ing to keep up the party organization. Lincoln Journal. A party of Nebraskans went down Into Missouri to buy more Whltefaco cattle. Here is where Missouri has the start of us. We talk soil culture , sugar beet raising , manufacturing nnd all kinds of industries but this country Is not half so well adapted to [ any other enterprise ns that of raisluc , stock. Central and western Missouri has the greatest reputation for raising Hereford cattle of any locality In the United States. We can raise the same cattle and raise them cheaper and bet ter right here , than In Missouri or any other state. We have the alfalfa , climate and grain. Arapahoe Mirow. On a Michigan farm were two haaithy boys. One was taken down with diphtheria nnd the other es caped. The sick boy died. After the funeral the surviving boy came home In perfect haalth , went to the barn nnd put up the team , did the chores and entered the house. A doctor was waiting for him and compelled him to submit to antitoxin Injections. In just fifteen minutes after the Injections . tions were given the boy was dead. The doctor was "vory sorry. " That is all the explanation the doctor haste to give for the deed. Tharo Is still a largo amount of ignorance In this country , anil a good deal of It Is In the medical profession. Sioux City Tribune. Under the now revenue law the Graphic's taxes will bo no higher than heretofore. Wo hnvo always given the joint In at Its actual value nnd have not considered the taxes unjust. There are plenty of people who have paid no more taxes than the Griphlc who owned property worth three times as much , and they are the follows who are doing most of the yelling right now. They have evad ed taxes on f = onio of their property for so long that they bnd begun to be- llovo It was right. There are people in Atkinson worth $25,000 who have paid taxes heretofore on a valuation of n few hundred. Gosh , how they are squealing , while the Graphic , which hns always paid its share , hns nothing to fret about. Blessed are the righteous. Atkinson Graphic.
