The Omaha World-Herald of iccent

with Its Cliamboilaln-llapld City lino.

Is likely to take place between thotxxo
powoiful antagonists , and a line that
would tap the rich territory of not th

vestment. And this move on the part
of the Mllxxankeo may stir up the Bur

years ago from Schuler to Norfolk.
Norfolk is In the maiket for more rail

COUNTY SUPPLIES.
The Nexvman Oiovo Reporter Is ag
itated because the commissioners ol
Madison county have not advertised
for bids on printing supplies to be
used In the county during the coming
.xear. The Reporter cannot really
mean that It Is in favor of such a pro
cednre. Past experience has demon
strated that letting the contract for
this class of supplies to the lowest bid
der has never been successful. Con
tracts axxarded In this manner mean
that ex cry letter head , every blank
every envelope and every scrap of
printing of any kind or character vvll
como front outsldo of Madison county
furnished by ono of tlio combine lions
cs of the cities , and that Madison
county printing olllces will not do ono
penny's worth. "Printing and sup
piles , " as ordinarily called for In conn
ty bids , mean letter heads , envelopes
blanks , records and ledgers used litho
the county olllces , pens. Inks , pencils
rubber bands , and In fact everything
In the stationery line used by count }
ofllclals. When these contracts have
been let to the lowest bidder In ptst ,
the county has Inxarlably rccelxed the
very pooiest grade of stock that II xx-as
possible to furnish and come within
the reading of the contract. Onlv rt-
ccntly Madlbon county was obliged to
go to the expense of a nexv book ami
pay a largo sum of money to Irive
a record transcribed from n book
that was originally furnished under
ono of these conn acts , which had t-o
nearly fallen to pieces that It was not
mio to longer depend upon It as a rec
ml.
Letting this work to the loxvest bid-
ler does not mean that the county will
my any less for the supplies , either.
[ 'ho trust hoiiHcs which are able to
urnlsli blank books and other articles
hat the local printing otllco cannot
"ipply , will cut the price of the tilings
bat can be supplied by the homo print
LTH to a rldlcnloiiH figure , so loxv that
he local man could not possibly com-
icte , and then they xvlll more than
nake It up on Iho goods that the home
irlnter does not make and cannot buy
it a reasonable price , because of the
trust
The result Is that the xvholo con
met goes to one of the tiust concerns
mil the Madison county man xvho
iceds ( ho xxork IH left out , xvhllo the
otal cost to the taxpayer Is fully IIB
iiuch or moio than under the present
lystem of hii > liig In the open niaikel
mil glxlng the Madison count } piint-
i such wet It as he can do. Under the
linn adxocated by the Noxvmau ( Jrovo
taper , the Repot tor xxould not iccelvo
t cent's win Hi of business Neither
NOiild The Nexxs. Nor xxould any ether
or Madison county pt inter. It would
ill go In a lump to ono of the trust
) lllces
The Nexvs does not hesitate to speak
of this matter freely , because It Is not
ntorested personally In any xvay. Dur-
ng the past year It has not furnished
i dollai's xxorth of this class of sup-
illes , and It has no reason to think It
xvlll the coming } oar. But It docs feel
iroud of the county commissioners for
leclding not to advertise and to con
Hutu1 getting what they can at homo
mil to purchase those articles It cannot
Hi } hoie on the open market. The
pilnciple of standing up for home In-
lustiles Is one x\ith xxhlch the oidinaty
iiibllc hoaid Is not too strongly 1m-
nied , and It Is coitalnl } a souico of
giatlllcatlou lo llnd one that deter-
nines to help out Its homo penplo.
Flio tiust concerns fieqnetitly make
complaint xxhen a county falls to ad
x01 Use for bids , but this is Iho ( list
line we oxer inn acioss a local man
xho had a complaint to make because
nialteis weto not so adjusted that the
foielgn fclloxv could take all the xvoik
nit of Iho county.
And It costs the people no moie un
der the plan adopted by the board than
It would thq other way , while the conn
ty has tlrst class goods to woik xxlth
a fact that has been demonstrated by
Madison county In } cars gone by.
THE NEW YEAR
Another nexv } ear Is here , and The
News hopes that It xvlll bring to ono
and all health , happiness and prospei
Ity
As another one of these annual
mile posts by xxbich the xvorld marks
the passing of tlmo is reached xxo

Ing
Noifolk has no great icason to com
plain of the treatment It has leceived
it the hands of 110. ! > . Manv places
laiger as xvell as smaller haxe fared
worse , and on the xvhole Norfolk has
much to credit to the accomplish
ments of the } ear It has brought
many betterments In the material con
dltlon of affairs. During the year the
Norfolk hospital for the Insane has
been completed and occupied , and an
appropriation for a nexv xvlng secured ,
and this Is noxv building. A number
of now business buildings have been
erected , scores of new residences noxv
adorn lots that xvore vacant a year
ago , and miles upon miles of nexv per
manent sidewalks and crossings have
been put In. The building Improve
mcnts this year have partaken of the
spirit of the times and are better and
more permanent than heretofore.
Probably the greatest accomplish
ment during the year for the future
benefit of the city was the securing
of freight rates which makes Norfolk
a wholesale point. The Commercial
club , which Is and has been one of
the strongest factors In the progress
of the city's growth , secured this rate
after the most trying discouragements
at homo and abroad that ever beset a
similar organbatlon , but when the fu
ture history of the city Is written the
year 1905 will be credited with having
surmounted all obstacles and placed
Norfolk among the jobbing centers of
the stato. Two wholesale houses xvere
Immediately attracted to the city by
the nexv rates , which alloxv Norfolk
to la } goods doxxn in any of the towns
in Its territory at as low tales as an }
competing point , and they are both
doing xxoll.
It Is confidently expected that the
coming } oar holds more In store for
Norfolk than has been accomplished
m t''o pist year The favorable
freight rate will certainly attinct nth-

Mready a number of manufacturers

uoperty , and It Is only a question of
short tlmo until the right proposition
s made to take It.
The only way to secure some of the
niiny things xvhlch are desirable Is
ty active , co operation through organl
/atlon. Omaha , Sioux City and other
toxvns which have had unprecedented
growths during the past ten years did
not accomplish anything through the
kickers" and "knockers " Fortunate
y in Noifolk that class Is very much
u the niltioilty , but the question ails
wouldn't It count for much moie
If all could or xvould get together anil

M } the suppuit nf a Commercial
club , giving It hearty backing and
united stiength of business men , Is
the only way to got factoiles , whole
sale houses , btate Institutions , rail
roads , concessions , and many othei
things that would add to the huslnosi-
volume and gixo Norfolk an opportn
nit } to bptcad out and take care ol
the countiy tributary to it. Little oi
nothing can be accomplished by per
sonal effort and too many selfish , per
sonal axes at the public grindstone
xvlll defeat good results. Agitation is
neccssmy In all undertakings , but It
must bo systematic and not antag
onistic. If the business men of Nor
folk will give the Commercial club
\xhlch Is their business representative
hearty and unanimous suppoit , It xvlll
be able to do far more for the city's
xvelfato than If handicapped by those
xvho go about the sttcets "knocking"
on every proposition that Is made.
The chamber of commerce of Lawton -

They xvlll do it , too , as they have back

All good things cost more than poor
stuff. Go after the best and get as
