If you aio a property owner , hoar

If you are a laborer , remember that

coining summer.
It IB Bnlil that Bchool tonchorH will
bo ecarco In NobrnHkn next fall. There
la nothing In Norfolk thin week to In *
dlcato a scarcity.
The police department during the
last year has not Bet the world aflro
by Jts activity. This will liuvo some
Influence In tomorrow's election.
Though wo have handed over the
key to the city to the teachers , some
of thorn hail a hard tlmo finding their
way to lodging rooms yesterday after
noon.
West Point baa a sewer system ; Al
bion will vote bonds. Norfolk has a
chance to stay In the class of these
villages or drop behind thorn In to
morrow's election.
If yon are a citizen of Norfolk , the
passage of the sewer bonds will help
to maintain the prestige and natno of
your city ; the defeat of the bonds will
bo a stop backward.
A vote for the republican ticket to
morrow will bo a vote for a police de
partment that will have the courage
to do Its duty , and not one that will
wink at crime and vice In the very
heart of the city.
The really live IHSUO at stake for to
morrow's election Is the sewerage bond
proposition. And It will require the
votes of every citizen In the city who
favors the bonds , to come any where
near passing them.
It la not probable that the present
meting uf the tcchors wll sottl the mater -
tor uf reform spollng. If the reform
wor'2 go thru , the tcchors cud never ,
in fuchor papers red b4 the asocla-
shun , rlt "enough , " the 1 wlrd wild
Biimtlma b emif.
It la generally considered good
business policy to go In debt If neces
sary in order to build np and Improve
the business. That Is the proposition
with' ' the sewerage. The money spent
will'not bo poured Into a ditch. It
will Ibo used nil the rest of our lives.
And lit will save ceas pool expenses.
Father T. Itonifuco of Stunrt has a
practical mind as well as ono of good
ness. Ho encourages his choir girls
to work as well as to play. Everyone
who sings In the choir , according to
the Ledger , for three years , is present
ed with a now rotary washing ma
chine , a clothes' line , a pulley and
clothes pins.
The argument that the sewer bond
will be an elephant on our bands can
bo brought ngalnst any public move
ment. It will be a baby elephant , however -
over , and can bo carried without much
effort , when It Is considered that Nor
folk how has tlio smallest bonded In
debtedness of any city In the state ,
as compared with Its population.
The Norfolk schools have turned
-out many exceptionally able students
and the honors which have been won
by Miss May Somers at Wellesley
college are but an added testimonial.
Wellesley Is considered perhaps the
superior of all women's colleges In
America In point of actual work done
by the students and In point of thor
oughness in training.
The passing of the sewer bonds In
Norfolk was a move toward progress ,
higher civilization , a cleaner and heal
thier city and , more than all else , It
wns a sign of the stuff that Norfolk Is
made of. Now we can come before the
world with an evidence of self-confi
dence to back us up In our claims that
Norfolk is going to bo a bigger and a
jottnr city than It IB today. The pass
ing of the bonds will mean much for
Norfolk's fnturo.
Norfolk has-been a quint city during
the past year , so far as the police
court records are concerned , .ludge
Wostorvolt , who IH the democratic po
lice judge , ( old of Homo things that
have been going on when ho look oc
casion to addresu a peculiarly oh-
luixloiiH character In public Homo lit-
tin time ago. A vote for the demo
cratic ticket tomonow means a vote
for a police force that has acted an
ollleor , judge and jury all In the same
breath.
It Is to bo hoped that the now at
tempt at Introducing a land leasing
bill for the giazing section of Nebras
ka , will pass. This had been Intro
duced In the senate this week by Sen
ator Ilnrkett and It provides that lands
may bo leased under the supervision
of the governor. Nebraska nccdH a
land lease bill fair to both the state
and the cattlemen , In order to save
( ho cattle Industry of the sUfe , and
unless some hill of this sort does pass ,
the cattlemen will shut up shop and
the sandhills will go out of business
as wealth producers.
The King road machlno which has
been out on the streets of Norfolk
during the past few days , has been
doing excellent work and ought to
demonstrate the value of the split log
arrangement. Yesterday afternoon the
machlno was used on South Thirteenth
at root and , as a result , the street
ooked Ilka a race track. There are
still many streets In Norfolk that
could bo benefited by this machlno ,
and now that the log has proven Us
worth , why wouldn't It bo a good
scheme to get more of them so that
they could bo used In tlmo of omer
geney , and b ° of actual service to the
community ?
The nearer the llmo for olectlon
comes the more chance the sewerage
bonds appear to have for passing to
morrow. Many who had been against
the bonds have been converted during
the lust two or throe days to the fact
that the passage of the bonds will
mean a step forward for Norfolk , bet
ter health In ( ho city , dry cellars down
town and In the eastern half of the
city , well drained streets , a cleaner ,
sweeter municipality , Increased prop
erty values , work for the laboring
man , and a bettor chance for Norfolk's
growth. To vote down the sewer
bonds means retrogression , for to re
main stationary Is to go backward.
It Is said that the suggestion of 11.
13. Owen that a gravel driveway bo
laid along South First street , has met
with the approval and favor of many
citizens of Norfolk and It Is very pos
sible that the city council may taku
action at the next mooting regarding
the matter , possibly appointing a com
mittee to look Into It. Plans and spec
ifications have arrived and are now on
fllo nt the Norfolk National bank ,
where they may bo seen by those Inter
ested In the gravel roadway for that
street. When the small amount of
money needed for the work Is consid
ered , and the great benefit that would
result Is homo In mind , It would seem
that Norfok could well afford to take
up the matter and consider It very
seriously and thoroughly.
Norfolk may not hold Its complete
prestige as a federal court town , cre
ated by Senator Hurkett's bill , If the
amendment of Congressman Norrls ,
who has taken a hand In the matter ,
goes through. Congressman Norrls
has given notice that ho Intends to
amend the bill so that ( hero shall bo
a number of points In both the north
and south sections of the state at
which federal court will bo held , giving
each point a definite territory to draw
from , so that the terms can not be
transferred from place to place at the
will of the judges. In the original bill ,
Norfolk and Omaha are the only two
cltlea In the northern part of the state
In which sessions of court wore to be
hold for this territory , while. Lincoln
and Hastings were to got In for the
southern half. Under the amendment.
Norfolk will still get a court session
hut It will bo a session of less Im
portance.
If a man from the east were to de
cide to come out west to live the rest
of his days , he might very reasonably
prefer a small town to a city. In lookIng -
Ing over the small towns of the west ,
his attention might very probably bo
called to Norfolk , for many reasons.
In investigating Norfolk as a homo
for himself and his family , ho would
ask , among the first things , "Is your
city equipped with modem Improve
ments ? " If the sewer bonds are de
feated tomorrow , wo would have to
reply that we do not have modern Im
provements. Wo would have no rea
son to hope that ho might como here
to make his homo. Ho might go to
Albion , where the bonds will carry ,
or ho might go to Fremont. Columbus ,
North Platte , Kearney , Grand Island ,
Hcatrlce , or a dozen other cities In
whoso class Norfolk has ambition to
bo. For these cities all have sowers.
Even West Point would bo preferred
on thin account , that little village hav
ing owned a fine sewer for years.
AR years como along , a person oc
casionally meets a proposition that
startles him with a realization of the
fact that he la swiftly passing across
the Bingo of llfo. Not so many years
ngo , fifteen perhaps , there was In Nor
folk a HIIHO Publishing company , at
the head of which stood Win. Huso ,
with W. N , Huso second In command
a corporation controlled by father
and son. In course of tlmo Win. Huso
retired from the company and the
business fell Into the hands of the
ono who has struggled for years to
make It win. Now another period has
been reacliQ.il In the cycle of tlmo and
another Huso Publishing company be
gins business on April 1 , the son of
fifteen years ago passing to the sta
tion of father now. N. A. Huso , who
now takes n place In the limit has had
a probation of several years In the
work before being made a partner and
UIH ! trial has domonstnitcd that he Is
a thorognh newspaper man In every
sense of the word. Though still young
In years , ho has shown that ho has a
greater capacity to produce readable
matter than most men years older ,
and his keen judgment and business
Instinct prove thai he has many good
trails not. possessed by his father and
less of the ordinary faults of mankind.
Ho Is made a partner In the business
because his ability entitles him to It
and not because ho Is the son of his
father.
WILLIAM IIAWL15Y SMITH.
Those who have heard him lecture
In Norfolk before , and paitlcularly at
the meetings of the northern Nebraska
teachers , will regret that William Hawley -
ley Smith , that genial wit and philos
opher , could not have boon engaged
for one evening hero this week. Mr.
Smith Is as homely as man can well
ho , but his humor Is of the sort that
bubbles over and his sound sense
makes people think. His llttlo sermon
I ho other day In Lincoln on the school
examinations contained much wisdom
and much food for thought among the
teachers of the state who nro now
In Norfolk. Concerning Mr. Smith ,
Illxby of the State Journal has to say :
"If you over mot him you will never
forget him William Hawley Smith-
author of "Tho Evolution of Dod , " and
other literary gems. He has been sick
Iho past two years and has grown old
some , but he's just as good and homely -
ly as over , and It was a pleasure to
meet him Monday morning and let
him take a short half hour to toll a
bunch of new stories. Ho Is on a short
lecture tour In the northwest. Ho
says ho can't stand It to go all the
time as ho used to , and , blessed bo ,
ho Is no longer so poor In purse as
ho has to keep doing or go hungry.
William Hawley Smith Is one of the
advanced thinkers of this generation ,
and ho won't bo fully appreciated until
ho has been dead about thirty years. "
Till- : COAL STRUCK.
It Is to be Hoped that the coal strike
will soon be adjusted and that the
minors will before long gi > back to
work. Without regard to the right or
wning of the cause which has brought
about the strike , the people of the
United States will hope that the strike
may bo settled satisfactorily to both
miners and mlno owners. And the
people have a right to demand that
the strike bo settled within a reason
able time. ,
Coal Is a commodity without which
the Industries of this country would
bo paralyzed. It'Is a necessity to our
dally life which keeps < the wheels of
progress In motion , and-It Is a sacred
right that belongs to the people of
this nation that the earth shall bo al
lowed to yield np from Its mines this
fuel that we must have.
Because the man who owns the mlno
and the man who digs out' the coal
get Into a quarrel Is no reason why
the rest of society should bo compelled
to shut down Its factories , stop wheels
that are productive and throw other
millions of men out of employment ,
as well as running up the prices of
commodities that wo can't got along
without. And so , If the mlno owner
and his workman fall to agree , then
wo can see no reason why the con
sumer , as a third party to tlio matter ,
shall not step In and take charge of
affairs with a view to bringing about
a compromise If possible , and action
at all events.
Wo have , In this country , como to
depend upon the coal from the earth
just as much as we depend upon food
for our stomachs. And because one
body of men are dissatisfied with the
methods of another body of men , oven
though the second party happens to
own the coal mines , does not take
from the people of this country their
right to a supply of coal from the
mines.
And &o It Is to bo hoped that Presi
dent Roosevelt , In case the strike con
tinues Into a dangerous extremity ,
will Intervene In the matter , as a rep-
rcsentatlvo of the people , and operate
the mines If necessary under govern
ment protection.
GLAD TO SEE YOU , TEACHERS.
Norfolk today extends a cordial
Imnd of welcome to the teachers of
northern Nebraska. Wo are glad to
eo you again , glnd to renew our old
acquaintance with you , and wo hope
that you will enjoy your visit this year
inoro thoroughly than you have over
before. Wo hope that when you re
turn to your homes nt the end of the
week , you will bo equipped to more
firmly Inculcate Into the minds of
Young America those things that
ought to he Inculcated , and that yon
A'lll bo able to more scientifically lay
on the lash when the lash becomes
OHHontlal to law and order.
You teachers generally pick out the
ralnlcBt , cloudiest , muddiest season of
all the year to visit Norfolk , and you
always lemoinber It , after you have
gene home , as a ( own In which you
lose your rubbers In the mlddlo < of. the
street , wear mackintoshes and carry
umbrellas. Hut In splto of your , jqor
judgment'In having Easter como Just
at the season of the twelvemonth when
now spring hats nro hardly safe td bo
trusted out alone , and In splto of the
wrinkles that April showers draw over
the forehead of the aim whenever you
como to town , wo are really and truly
glad to see you and would like to
have you take off your wraps and stay
longer If you could do It and at the
same tlmo hold your places with the
village board at home.
And this dark-skied April week when
the teachers como to Norfolk Is , In
splto of Its outward appearances , ono
of the brightest cycles of days'that
Norfolk knows In a year's time.
Wo people of Norfolk have come to
look upon you as old friends though
the word "old" Is merely a figurative
expression. Wo all clean house when
the railroad companies announce ex
cursion rales Into Norfolk because of
the annual teachers' meeting , and we
would be disappointed If you disap
pointed us by not coming.
Wo look at yon school , teachers ,
spoaldng of the entire profession , as
old friends In mom ways than one.
You taught us our A , H , C'a when we
wore llttle , , spanked us when we were
bad , divided up jour lunches with us
\\hon we stayed at school during
noon hours , allowed UH to pass the
pencils when wo were good , took away
our marbles when wo played for keeps ,
kept us after school when wo whis
pered , pointed your fingers at us when
wo talked , and cut down our "deport
ment" when wo scraped our feet on
the floor. You made us speak pieces
In front of the rest of the school , com
pelled us to'study , more 'or less , and
finally sent us out Into the world , by
wa > of the graduation gate , all dteased
up In our best , clothes and wondering
how the world over managed to get
three meals a day without our assist
ance boforo.
In turn wo used to try to make life
as wretched and miserable for yon as
we possibly could. We spent our
spare time trying to concoct questions
that would puzzle you , laughed in our
sleeves ( filling them with mirth ) when
you told us to "look It up" for our own
good , planned traps to make you bo
unfair to us so that you would "take
It back , " and ached for chances to take
our grievances home to our fathers
and mothers so that their mighty In
fluence might tall on your necks and
drop your heads In the basket of had-
lieons. Wo invented tllcknames for
you among ourselves , and sincerely
hoped that someday you might over 1
hear the nicknames In everyday use.
And when you did punish us wo swore
vengeance If It took all the rest of our
lives for execution.
Out after all , we wake up we of
the world that no longer answers tp
your dally roll call and find that we
do like you , teachers , always did like
you , and , wo hope , always will.
For , como to think It over , you're
pretty good natured lot of people in
spite of whatwo used to think , you
were really pretty fair in ways you
treated ns , and we have no doubt that
you are just as fair today.
You meet with a good many trials
and tribulations , dear teachers , In the
course of your careers , of which the
world knows nothing. To look at your
hours , from 9 In the morning until
4 In the afternoon , we might naturally
suppose that you led lives of royalty ,
almost as easy as the lives of bankers.
But when wo got a little better ac
quainted with you , wo learn that your
work never ends-and that , though the
gong dismisses your pupils at 4 in the
afternoon , you carry the .worry of the
day right straight through the night
and rarely lift the burden of your work
off your minds. We notice that when
you start In to work at the beginning
of the fall you look roundfaced and
pink cheeked and cheerful. But before
Easter conies around , you get dark
circles around the eyes , your cheeks
get a llttlo thinner , your brow knits a
trifle , and you start at the dropping
of a pencil. Your nerves got all un
strung , unless you have that most en
viable faculty of forgetting the little
worries , and the vacation comes none
too soon to put red blood back Into
your system.
And then we look at your payroll ,
and figure out how much money you
jet for your year's work. And when
wo do that , we have to admit that you
teachers are public benefactors to
whom wo should all gladly take off
our hats.
Hut your wages are going to climb ,
and ono day you will get what you
earn. And in the meantime you are
enjoying prestige and getting experi
ence that couldn't bo bought.
And then , besides all that , there's
this to remember about teaching
school the whole world is Indebted to
you and the whole world loves you
after It grows np.
And well , Norfolk Is glad to shake
your hands once again and hopes your
enjoyment may work overtime this
week.

OVER THE OREGON TRAIL.
Eirm Sleeker on III * Way From Port
land to IniJIniiapolla.
Ezra Meeker of Portland , Ore , , left
recently on bis return journey over the
old Oregon trail which he traveled
when be came to the northwest In 1852 ,
enya n Portland special dispatch to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. With his team
of oxen and the old prairie schooner
he started from Dallas on the old trail.
Mr. Meeker thinks that the trail should
be permanently marked , so that the
future generations may be able to lo
cate the old pathway that was traveled
by the sturdy pioneers who settled the-
Orcgou country. He will take along'
with him township plats upon which
will be traced the route of the trail In
every township In which It Is found.
Those plats will be preserved and sent
to the Oregon Historical society. Mr.
Meeker has an odometer on his wagon ,
with which he will determine the exact
distance he lias Journeyed when be ar
rives at bis destination.
Mr. Meeker will drive bis oxen and
cows through to Indianapolis , Ind. ,
from whence he Immigrated across the
plains to the northwest. Mrs. Meeker
will Join him at Indianapolis. Mr.
Meeker says he expects to make the
trip In about eight and a half months.
In IS.'li It took him about six mouths
to make the trip. Considerable time
will necessarily have to be consumed
In locating the old trail , as most of It
has entirely disappeared. Before com
ing to Portland Mr. Meeker retraced
the old trail across the stale of Wash
ington to the sound , which be trav
ersed after leaving Portland In the
spring of 1853. Mr. Meeker Is aeventy-
flve years of age , but Is In perfect
health and docs not anticipate any 111
effects from the trip. Instead he thinks
that It will be very beneficial to him.
Mr. Meeker says he baa not been III
since he first came to the northwest.
HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT.
"Unmr < l Life ifUarnnce Accent" Witfc
1'reinnture Boom Squelched.
J. D. Atkls on , who described himself
AS "a busted llfo agent , " boarded the
special train which carried some of the
Insurance representatives to Albany
for the joint Insurance committee hear
ing the other day , says the New York
Times. Atklsson bad a satchel full of
Imitation silver fobs with leather
bands , the metal bearing a prototype
of Charles E. Hughes and the inscrip
tion :
HUGHES.
1908.
Atklsson got out bis fobs and offered
them for sale at CO cents each. He an
nounced that be was booming Mr.
Hughes for the presidential nomination ,
in 1008.
"What's all this ? " asked one of the.
insurance men , reaching out for a fob.
"Let every delegate secure one of tb
Hughes presidential fobs , " megaphoned
Atkisson. "We'll show the legislature
that we want a 'square deal. ' In buy
ing one of these fobs you confer a fa
vor upon n busted life agent , and most
of you know what that Is. "
Some of the Insurance men did netlike
like Atklsson's scheme.
"Cut It out , or you'll have to get off
the train , " said one In n belligerent
tone.
"Oh , very well , " replied the canvass
er complacently , "Instead of making
It 1008 I'll mnke It 1023. "
He closed his satchel , and be nnd the
Hughes fobs disappeared.
NOVEL SOCIAL SCHEME.
ChlcoRo 1'lun to Compete With Bn-
loonn nnd Dance Hull * .
A social scheme designed to compete
direct with neighboring saloons and
dance halls , offering opportunities for
refreshment ns well as club rooms , u
gymnasium and Indoor games , Is to bo
built by the Second Baptist church of
Chicago , of which Rev. John Roach
Straton Is the pastor , says n Chicago
dispatch. Within a radius of three
blocks of the church there are eighty-
three saloons. With the.se and with
their accompanying dance balls and
dives the settlement will contend for
the favors of young men nnd women
wbo live In the boarding bouses which
occupy the greater part of the region.
The settlement is to bo a memorial to
