The Chicago court has rofiiHOd to

The North Nebraska farmer Is al
most ready to again demonstrate that

nold mluo or got-rlch-qulck Bchcme.
Secretary Shaw Is to follow Presi
dent lloosovolt Into the west probably -
ably to do a little courting , on bis own
book , of the strength represented In
tbo trans-Missouri region.
It might provo unfortunate for a
fleet of fishing smacks should they
lioavo into sight of the Ilusslnn squad-
ronB whllo Admiral Rojostvonsky is
mirroring from that nervous attack.
Because the court failed to punish
Nan Patterson she Is giving a mighty
porr Interpretation of tbo golden rule
In announcing that nho will punish
Uio public by appearing on the stago.
If you cannot yet congratulate Ne
braska on her prospects for another
bumper corn crop you can at least
continue to stand up for her wheat ,
oats nnd other vapidly developing
crops.
An Iowa editor takes up Dr. Lyiuan
Abbott's statement that wealth Is a
danger , long enough to add that pov
erty is also a danger and read the
lazy , shiftless nnd improvident mor
tals the riot act.
The dukes and other high notables
should contemplate with a certain degree -
greo of satisfaction that it is becom
ing positively dangerous , If not an
noying , for the terrorists to load
themselves with bombs for the prose
cution of their reforms.
People should have enjoyed the cool
nnd wetness whllo they might. All
too BOOU they will he registering a
loud and emphatic protest because of
the heat and dust -when the corn will
toe putting forth its best endeavors
toward creating that bumper crop.
If Togo doesn't soon put on a full
head of steam , Oyntnn will yet beat
him into the battlefield and have the
public looking his way. There is
nothing yet to interest in Togo's di
rection to the exclusion of other fields
'nnd other topics.
Nan might have got just as good a
vnge from a dime museum manager ,
or the promoter of a side show , and
there would have been very little
difference in the employment. Her
theatrical manager probably does not
expect that she shall prove on actress.
Chicago has figured it out that the
cost of the strike has been very ex
pensive , but it should not worry. It
can bear down a little harder on the
country yokels to make good the de-
j | i flclencx. that its department stores
jj * ' and other large establishments have
J suffered.
There seems no probability that Jo-
bann Hoch will be given other oppor-

bureau for the express purpose of ag-

If there Is any objection to the
manner in which General Wood has
disposed of a band of outlaw Mores
'in the Philippines , the anti-Imperial
ists have cot yet bad time to put it
in writing. They may wait nnd spring
it when political enthusiasm warms
up a little.
The homeopaths think that one of

II. Is Bitld ( lint Nan I'nttonuin'H thonl-
rlral wiigo IH to ho 12,000 a week. Who
would think that In enlightened Amer
ica It would bo worth that much for
a womnn to dlngraccfully kill a man
and then exhibit liernelf from the
Htngo ? The public Hhnuld bo aHhamed
of ItHolf If It oven contemplates pay

The Chicago teamsters' strike ban
reached the plume at which the pub
lic becomes Indifferent nnd whether
It In Rottled one way or the other
countfl for little to the average reader ,
but Chicago Is still very much Inter
ested , beyond a doubt , and would take
It an a biiHlncHs winning If tbo team-
KterH and their employcH should come
to terrnn.
The Pullman company IB the latest
to nit down on the Kansas anti-trust
thorn. It made application for the
privilege of doing buslncsH In that
Htato on the payment of a modest fco
of $27.GO , and tbo bid was turned
down. The company must dig up
the sum of fl4,927.iO ( If It desires to
haul people out , In or through Kan
sas. The fun of the thing will prob
ably develop when Kansas endeavors
to collect the fee.
The figures that arc given out re
garding the Chicago Btrlko Becm to
indicate that the teamsters nro the
winners in the amount of damage ,
losses and expense. Whllo they have
lost $350,000 In wages It is figured
that the county nnd city have lost
$1)0,000 In hiring extra police and dep
uties , whllo the loss to commercial
nnd business Interests Is given as a
grand total of over $8,000,000. The
strike has therefore proven an ex
pensive luxury , particularly to the
employers.
Even the Chinese are finding ad
vantages In combinations. They are
organizing for the purpose of fighting
Uncle Sam's exclusion laws in an en
deavor to maintain residence In the
United States. The valuable lessons
taught by Rockefeller nnd other first-
class organizers may bo said to have
about reached the outer edges of civ
ilization when the yellow faced chink
is capable of grasping its slgjilficnuso
and putting It to use.
The correspondents In the far east
have boon getting tbo belligerents
ready for omo big battles for such
frequent intervals for so long a time ,
that there Is beginning to bo qulto a
largo degree of reservation attached
to their accounts of progress. There
may be a battle one of these days ,
nnd both tbo forces will undoubtedly
bo as fully prepared as possible for
the conlllct , but for reading matter
of genuine interest nothing but the
real thing will answer.
Editor Roscwntcr of the Omaha Dee
has been compelled to face a nasty
charge with bad looking circumstanc
es attached , but it is being made to
appear that this Is one of those rarely
genuine cases where a man has been
Imposed upon In an endeavor to rob
him of his good name. Rosewaterhas
enough enemies who would gladly as
sist Algoe in making his charges
stick , but it is becoming more evident
every day that they are powerless to
do so , and unless something stronger
develops soon it is believed that Mr.
Rosewater will hove secured some ad-
vortislng , of a sort , without damage
to his good name.
There is evidence that the senate
committee has taken a cue from the
railroads and is endeavoring to side
track the freight rate question In fa
vor of private car monopolies and
canal topics , but they have a fierce
opponent in President Roosevelt and
he promises to keep the rate question
to the fore and is credited with the
ability to do it. The president nnd
the public are interested in the other
questions as a matter of course , but
the railroad magnates are not to be
permitted to obscure their particular
case until it is definitely adjusted to
the satisfaction of the people if not
of the railroads.

The Doers may be whipped but they

May IWH pretty 'nearly succeeded
In squaring1 herself with the Nebraska
public nnd if she can keep the fine
weather gauge 'open a few more days
the people will have forgotten entire
ly that she could be mean nnd vote

Ilnlllmoro has pretty good circum
stantial evidence that the person who
attempts Hulclde lacks proper sense.
A fellow who attempted suicide there
by firing two bullets into his head is
ntlll alive. Had thqre been any brains
for the balls to penetrate the fellow
would certainly have been dead.
Omaha has delivered a lesson to
Indiscriminate flower pickers by ar
resting .and fining n man who took
some posies that were growing In one
of .the1 public parks. It is a step In
the right direction , nnd other com
munities will do well to assist Omaha
In the Inculcation of a lesson along
these lines.
The bears who thought they had
May wheat permanently downed were
evidently mistaken ns evidenced by
the rise of the price above the dollar
mark again. The dollar price and
better , has managed to maintain it
self so close to the harvesting of the
now crop that farmers may well view
with some degree of satisfaction the
apparent promise that new grain will
go on the market at a very nice fig
ure.
An Iowa doctor Is endeavoring to
get in the lime light of publicity by
declaring against the whiskers that
nro worn by his fellows. He denounc
es them as unsanitary and unprofes
sional nml declares tbnt they must
go. Ills position Is perhaps no more
ridiculous than the position taken by
doctors on other subjects , but it can
bo depended upon that his closest
ally will bo the professional gontle-
mnn who can no more sprout a board
than ho cnn grow wings
President Roosevelt has determined
that no more free trips shall come
his way from the railroads nnd thnt
ho will pay his own way In the fu
ture. If a man In as prominent a po
sition ns his and having the induce
ments he has 'to take free rides nt
tbo expense of the railroads cnn turn
them buck It should bo a simple mat
ter for legislators and other minor
officers to follow his example. It is
to be hoped that the president's atti
tude on this question may mean the
beginning of the end of free passes
for public ofllclnls.
Just to even up mnttors the Rus
sian squadrons now propose to take
a little rest in waters of the Philip
pine islands nnd show that they are
not particularly partial regarding
France. They will do well to have
a care that there is no D wey lurking
there to send them on about their
business or bore their vessels full of
holes. The French government may
have been asleep regarding the op
erations of the Russians in the Coch-
In-China waters but that cannot be
taken as a guarantee that Uncle Sam
will be as Ignorant of their machina
tions.
Tariff revisionists are hailing as an
indication that Secretary Tnft is with
them , his determination to buy ma
chinery nnd supplies for the Panama
canal in the markets of the world.
How they are able to adduce such a
conclusion Is matter for study. Tariff
or no tariff , the trusts would be able
to make it a matter of hold-up If
they were given the exclusive right
of furnishing the material required ,
nnd tariff or no tariff , they can get
the contract if they will perform it
at a reasonable figure. What worries
them Is that they are compelled to
do what is right or lose the business.
Whether the announcement that
Mr. Bryan intends to study municipal
ownership nnd railroad problems will
propitiate the common people who
have held him as their idol remains
to bo proven when the said common
people get the chance to express
themselves regarding the late presi
dential candidate's contemplated trip
around the world. It has been n
prevailing belief that only the very
rich could afford such a luxury , but it
may be possible that one of the com
mon people may be excused for fol
lowing In the footsteps of the pluto
crats If by so doing he will bring
home useful nnd helpful lessons to
others of the common herd.
The water that la standing In eel-
larH and pools about the city and
gradually acquiring the scum nnd
greenish tint thnt suggests typhoid
nnd iniilarlii IH the strongest possible
argument thnt Norfolk needs nn adequate -
equate sewerage system through
which this ncciiinulatlon of surplus
moisture may bo cffuqtunlly drained ,
not to mention the advantngcs tbnt
Would accrno In the wny of health

It Is to he expected that there will
be n wave of condemnation of the
theater because the thlrteen-year-61d
.Canadian girl who confessed to the
murder of n nine-months-old baby
snld she got her inspiration for the
deed from n piny. If there nre plays
where murders of Infants nre enacted
for the delectation of the public , they
might better be cut out nnd some
thing different substituted. But for
anyone to be Influenced to murder
by n singe "murder'1 is evidence of a
wenk or degenerate mind nnd it would
be ns unsafe for such a one to be
instructed In the murders of the
scripture regardless of the lessons
that may ha drawn therefrom.
It Is the little thing that counts ,
very often , for the most. It would
seem that there was no room for im
provement in the common parlor
matches thnt have been in use for
many years , but the fellow who placed
a noiseless tip on the head nnd pre
vents It from shooting off sparks when
struck , hns demonstrated that there
Is n chnncc for just thnt , and If he
has fully protected his rights ho is
Undoubtedly In line for a fortune of
some magnitude. The new match is
so much better thnn the old thnt It
may be expected to run the regulnr
parlor mntch out of business ns the
pnrlor match crowded out the old ,
stinking , seven-day sulphur match.
Any fool should have known enough
to have thought of thnt tip , but they
didn't anil their one chance is to still
further perfect this little household
necessity , or do something equally as
simple hut Important.
A number of the tariff-reformers in
the republican ranks nre inslstlng on
the rights of their Issue to life , liberty
and the pursuit of happiness , but the
public seems very well content to
rest Its case at present upon the matter -
tor of removing and preventing dis
criminations In freight rates \\M in
laboring for the disadvantage of
trusts and monopolies that have not
been logically and conclusively prov
en to he the offspring of the present
protective tariff. The country is managing -
aging to obtnin a fair degree of pros
perity despite the tariff rates and
with the Coxey armies transferred to
England and the hard times generally
being shared exclusively by the coun
tries across the pond it will take a
mighty Inrge nnd strong argument to
move the public to favor tariff revi
sion to the - exclusion of the other
paramount questions thnt have been
brought to the fore during the past
few years since the tariff question
wns quite satisfactorily settled.
Complaint- made from various
parts of the country that flower
thieves are beginning to get in their
work , and in numerous instances the
thieves are not content to pull the
blossoms but pluck up the plants by
the roots that have failed to produce
blooms. There is one way to prevent
this species of annoyance and that
Is for admirers of beautiful flower
gardens who contribute their time
and money to make things beautiful ,
to cease planting and drop to the lev
el of those who do not produce for
themselves but filch from others.
This is not desired by the majority
of the people but may be forced by
the few pirates who cannot stay their
destructive hands when they see
something beautiful in'the possession
of a neighbor. It seems to be either
necessary for the several communi
ties'to watch their opportunity to
mak'e a lesson of these marauders or
for public spirited citizens to refrain
from contributing their share to the
beauty of the place.
An Omaha department store'is tear
ing down Its old building as inade
quate , inefficient and a stumbling
block to its progress. In its place it
will build a structure to cover an en
tire block. There are people owing
loyalty to the country towns of Ne
braska who have contributed more
than their share to this stupendous'
enterprise and will be given not one
jot of credit for the accomplishment.
It would have meant much more to
then if they had enabled their local
merchants to build better and larger ,
and the local merchant would have
appreciated their patronage. Still , If
trade must go to city department
stores It Is certain that people loyal
to Nebraska's Industries and enter
prises would much rather it would bo
kept In Omaha thnn thnt It should
go to Chicago , New York or other
distant city. The person who does
his trading at home , or as near homo
as poBslblc , IB the crenm of the cnrth
nnd should be given full credit for
what he does.
It Is not particularly a matter for
congratulation thnt the majority of
the members of the state board should
hnve been forced to give In to the
minority In the matter of election of
a principal for the new normnl school
nt Kearney. Unfortunntely for the
school and the educational Interests
of the stnte , former State Superinten
dent Fowler had declined to accept
the ofilce unless It should come by
the unanimous vote of the board. He
wns fairly and squarely elected , but
the minority refused unanimous con
sent nnd forced the election of their
candidate. It wns the act of peanut
politicians who were not concerned by
the welfare of the school or the wish
es of the educational people of the
state. Mr. Fowler wns fully equipped
for the work by education nnd exne-
rlonce. Ho had the respect and con
fidence of the people of the state In
terested in educational work and he
would have filled the position with
marked ability. The state knew him
but does not know the man elqcted
and it is a matter of regret in many
quarters thnt the result of the elec
tion was not the choice of Mr. Fowler
for the position.
The railroads nre entitled to guess
again. After all their pains at in
troducing testimony before the sen
ate committee on their own behalf
nnd in behalf of the benefited ship
pers that the present railroad rate
nrrangement Is satisfactory , the an
nouncement comes from Washington
that the president Intends to call
congress In special session on Octo
ber 1C to take action on the freight
rate matter. They have spent valua
ble time and money In convincing
everyone through the senate commit
tee that nothing in the premises Is
required from congress but the pres
ident refuses to be satisfied nnd if
the sennte will take the 'trouble to
interview the public it will find that
the people are exactly in the snme
attitude ns President Roosevelt.
There must be a cessntlon of dis
crimination and It will bo expected
of congress that this attitude will be
taken by It. If not the public will
undertake to see what can be done
on changing the position of congress
on the question.
An Omaha paper tells thnt a pro
prietor of one of the department
stores of thnt city is about to build
a garage nt a cost of several thou
sand dollars. A garage Is , in ordi
nary language a stable , or storehouse
for automobiles , nnd those who have
contributed to the success of this de
partment store should be Interested
in knowing to what use their money
Is being put. This luxury and its con
tents will undoubtedly cost more than
the residence of any merchant in
Norfolk or north Nebraska , and it is
the money that should have gone to
ward building up north Nebraska that
is thus being used In giving Omaha
metropolitan nirs. Another of the
Omnha department store proprietors
hns been enabled to stnrt a bank
with his other luxuries ami thp
of north Nebraska have helped him
to acquire such distinction. The time
should come , and that speedily , when
the money that is devoted to building
up Omaha , Chicago , and other cities
will be used to advance the Interests
of the country in which this wealth
originated and thus work a benefit to
every member of the community.
Bilious Bill was getting bloated ,
And his tongue was muchly coated.
Patent " " '

Companies would not insure him.
All his friends were badly frightened ,

Nearly everybody Is happy. The
farmer sees May torn coming up in
his fields and the man who has Invested
L
vested in the cereal finds It coming
up In the markets. It Is an Indica
tion of prosperity to many people not
directly concerned either In the fields
or in the markets.
The trusts express a certain degree
of willingness to try for the Panama
canal business by entering Into com
petition with the foreigners , and it
Is evident that President Roosevelt

their decision.
In Spain they are having hunger
