People who complain the longest and loudest about the trusts aio like- Jy ( o bo those who contribute the most ( o certain of the trustB , particularly the retail department stores and cat alogue houses ; They shoujd hoop very Btlll on dip subject of trusts or make their actions conform to their talk. People who patronize the big Chicago cage houses for their ordinary mer chandise should bo inndo to look to those plnces for their employment and their profits. It will bo found by ( hose who apply as directed that all ( ho Chicago houses want Is their mon ey , and they will not promise to de vote an lota of this' money toward the building up of the west or any part thereof. Farmers who have had experience during the past few seasons In Ne braska will lot none of this \\eather get nway from them without doing what they can toward the advance ment of their crops. It will bo re membered thnt the weather later In the spring has been disadvantageous to planting and other farm work and the farmer who is able to beat the rain to it will prove the winner. North Nebraska Is developing Into nn Ideal location for a homo regard less of the pursuit of the homo build er. On the farm there Is no hotter or quicker money made than In north Nebraska and the environments of the tiller of the .soil are exceedingly pleasant as well. In the cities nnd towns there arc Ideal conditions for town life nnd the family whoso lot has been cnst In north Nebraska Is nmong ( ho fortunate of the earth. The lending issue in many of the ( owns of Nebraska was the Issue of bonds for the building of waterworks , school houses or other Improvements all of which go with prosperous nnd developing communities. Nebraska has been enjoying a share of the pros perlty that has been meted out to ( ho country and her rate of develop ment In the matter of population and Improvements will undoubtedly bo found to compare favorably with thnt of any state of ( ho union. The people may bo expected ( o stand by the Kansas Oil Producers as sociation until it becomes bigger than the original trust , then they will ( urn its picture ( o the wall , also.

In a commercial way .Norfolk has never entered an active season In bet tor shape than this year. The mer- thants liaVb good stocks of now mor- handlso on hand ; they nro not crowd ed by pressing obligations ; the banks invo an abundance of money to loan at a low rate of Interest ; the farmers nnd town residents have money and mployment and never had Norfolk a wider nnd better Held far commercial activity. It Is expected that the com ing few years will show remarkable advancement because of these conill * tlons. With Omaha made the headquarters for the rural free delivery system , there should be a possibility of get ting this system thoroughly Installed In Nebraska.

'There Is nothing as cheap as nn out- of-dao ( warship , compared , with KH original cost. Great Britain lias just disposed of $15,000,000 worth of such vessels for the small sum of $080,000. The only way , too , to prevent them from accumulating , Is to cense to build. In a few years ( ho present ef ficient warships of the United Statefi and other countries will bo turned over to junk dealers as having out lived the purpose for which they were orlglnnlly Intended , unless perchance , perfection has been nttnlned In' ( he construction of these mninmoth float ing fortresses.

Norfolk Is In the ascendancy ns n city of homes nnd of desirable accessories series ( o a city of homes , and the people who are getting In early and taking part In ( ho advancement nre the ones who nre to profit In the fu ( lire. Norfolk now has numerous nd vantages to the home-lover nnd they are being rapidly Increased and bet tered. It Is possible ( hat John D.

With the business men of Norfolk thoroughly united , ns Is contemplated at the meedng of ( he commercial club Friday night , there will be nothing ordinary that will serve to prevent the city from advancing. It hns the location , the facilities , the natural ad vantages that go toward the making of a llrs-class cly ( , and wlh a unKet ! commercial lnerest to back l ( , pro grebs will be certain and rapid.

Thieves and robbers have evident ! } abandoned the wild west and the trail nnd nro finding It better picking In the cities. The two fellows who broke the window of a Chicago house and got away through the crowd with $8,000 worth of diamonds have again demonstrated that picking is fairly good In one of the commercial ceil' tcrs of the country. Their achieve' ment , with that of the mall pouch robbers and the car barn bandits , maybe bo expected to furnish others with In spiration to duplicate ( he feats. The few who get away and the many who get caught , however , will serve ( o deter the ordinary person Inclined to that reckless form of acquiring wenlth.

The thousands of Idle acres in Nebraska and other states of the west should provide handsomely for millions of additional population. There need be no fear of the country becoming overtaxed , until long after It Is supporting twice the present pop ulation. Mayor-Elect Dunne of Chicago has been mentioned in connection with the' democratic nomination for ( ho presidency In 1903 , occasioned by his sudden rise Into prominence by rea son of his elecdon ns mayor of the Windy city. Ho has shown like po litical characteristics to Bryan , Wat son , Hearst , Tom Johnson , Taggert and , others of ( he radicals and ( he way In which he converted the re publican majority of last fall Into n democratic majority this spring has served to attract attention his way. He certainly lias a remarkable rec ord , but whether he can pull out a victory In n national race with the same facility that ho carried ( he city elecdon remains to be proven. It will depend largely upon what ele ment will come Into control of the re publican party by thitt ( Imo. The country Is Inclined toward radlonllsm on some Issues , but whether It Is to lie the radicalism of a Roosevelt or a Bryan remains ( o bo demonstrated before 1008. Norfolk has had a commercial club thnt hns orcompllshcd uudcrtnklngs of moment In behalf of the city and the prospects nre that It Is now to bo enlarged and strengthened and begin , n work of activity on n broader basis than ever before. At the meeting culled for. next Friday night It Is hoped to Interest every business man and property owner of the city In the advancement of Noifolk and with n solid working business men's organi zation backing the efforts of the hus tlers there Is certain to be some tell ing results. In the past ( hero has been nn Inclination to ( slt back and let three or a dozen of ( ho hustlers do the work and there lm been more criticism than encournge.ment oven of these , but with every business man Interested to the same extent as these pushers have been there will be ac complishments that will throw" Into the shade the efforts of the past. Norfolk has a largo amount of capital Invested by Its property owners. The handling of vacant lots , the leasing and selling of business nnd residence property hns made numbers of Nor folk men Independently wealthy , but the time Is now hero when something should bo done to sco that men who pay rent nnd lense buildings should have a steady source of income to meet sitcn expenses and cause them to remain In Norfolk , partaking of Its advancement and its activities. For the past several years all have re ceived employment at good wages , but there should be a manifestation that they will continue to receive em ployment nnd their numbers In creased. Norfolk is a beautiful city of homes , but the occupants of these homes will need employment In the future as in the past to enable them to pay rents and buy properties. An active commercial club will give them this assurance nnd Norfolk will pro ceed Into the future with a stride that will eclipse all former efforts outside of the boom period. A boom Is not wanted but the development must be steady nnd constnnf and this Is v/hat the commercial club Is inclined to promote. The Right Name Is DeWltt.

OTHER OFFICERS ARE NAMED Treasury Shown to be In Good Condi tion Will Add to Series of Alarms. Action on New Laws at the Next Meeting of Department. [ From Thursday's Dallv. ] Intense interest was taken by the members of 'the Norfolk fire depart ment In the outcome of the meeting last night at which the officers for the ensuing year were chosen , and there was a full attendance of firemen. The following were the officers elect ed : V. A. Nenow , president , re-elected. E. R. Hayes , vice president. W. J. Rouse , secretary. P. J. Fuesler , treasurer. S. R. McFarland , chief.

Retiring Chief Kern reported that a d.onntlon of $15 had been received from the Catholic church society an a testimonial to the department for their services at the recent fire. By unani mous vote It was decided to return the donation to the church with the thanks of the department for the ap preciation of services. The new constitution nnd by-laws was not acted upon , action being re ferred until the next meeting of the department , when It will be taken up section by section. The treasurer reported a balance of cash on hand of $030.83. It was determined to add several signals to the series of alarms by the sea lion whistle. One of the proposed , alarms will probably be one long blast to Inform .the people and members of the department that the fire has been extinguished. Another will be au alarm to Inform the hooks and other up-town companies that their services nre not required when an alarm is turned in from Soufti Norfolk. Retiring Chief Kern made a brief speech , thanking the members for their many kindnesses during his term of ofllce. President Nenow desired the attendance of as many members at the next meeting of the department when the constitution and by-laws are to bt > acted upon.
