lilxby , of the State Journal , says
that John Donovan , of the Madison
Star-Mall , looks near enough like the
nqw mayor of Kansas City lo bo his
twin brother. John has also been nc-
cirsed of looking like a congressman.
Ho has taken exceptions to the latter
allegation , and Is reserving tils appro-
elation until ho luarus whether he
looks like McCarthy or Klnkald.
Bob Clancy has written a loiter stat
ing that It Is untrue that the Union
Pacific Is lighting Norrls Drown and
that ho has served notice that all of
the counties touched by the Union Pa
cific would bo arrayed solidly against
him. All of which goes to show that
those who are behind the movement
for Drown , are playing a political
game ns well as merely expressing a
sincere approval of Mr. Drown.
Man can build locomotives and rail
road tracks and fires with which to
put steam into the big machines and
send them spinning along the stcol
ribbons ; man can got down under the
big steel horses when they go wrong ,
and repair them so that they will work
again ; man's hand can touch the throt
tle and start the wheels or stop thorn
whore ho will ; but where Is there a
man who can toll why It Is or by what
Fate , that when ono of these big loco
motives dives down Into a hole , ono
man will moot his death while his
mate , placed In the same perilous po
sition , will come out without a
scratch ?
The election In Kansas City , Mo. ,
should serve as an Inspiration to all
of those persons In this country who
are anxious for cleaner politics. A
republican was elected oven In that
democratic city. Dut ho was not a
republican so much as ho was a man.
A lawyer with a practice which ho
felt that ho could not afford to sacri
fice , and yet the ono man In the mu
nicipality who stood out pre-eminently
ns the real leader and as the citizen
who know most about how to run the
city affairs as they should bo run , ho
was elected by n largo majority. It
was n forward movement In favor of
right government , and a victory for
clean politics.
President Roosevelt has taken an-
other shot at John I ) , llocknfeller In
declaring that the national govern
ment miiHt come to tax large fortuncH
HO heavily that the fortunes will bo
dlHlnli'Kiutcd and by further declaring
that "no amount of charity In spend
ing a fortune In any way compensates
for misconduct In making them. " This
In In line with the president's former
utlerlngH on thn question of the hon
es ! rich and the dishonest rich , and It
shows his determined effort to slice
down that pllo of gold which has oeon
liiilll up around the oil king. And It
IK JiiHt such HtnnilH IIH these taken by
men of Mr. Roosevelt's Integrity oi
purpose which will , eventually , by one
means or another , create a reaction
ngaliiHt what WIIH termed a few days
nio ; In the teachers' association here ,
"a freir/.led greed for dollars. "
\Vo seldom appieclale the wonders
that modern science accomplishes un
til II comes homo to IIH. Hut what a
wonderful thing It IH that today a man
can breathe In certain gases that como
bottled up , fall asleep from the Inllii-
once of those gases , bo cut down Into
and all to pieces , relieved of affected
organs , sowed up and then allowed to
wake up and como back to life with
out over knowing that anything has
happened to him ! And what a splen
did satisfaction It must bo to those
Individuals who have worked to the
top of their science and who can 11
down to sleep at night with the satin-
faction In ( heir souls of having saved
a dozen persons' lives that day ! How
Infinitely more satisfactory and worthy
IH a life devoted to such a work than
ono which Is spent In collecting rents ,
dressing well and riding most of the
day In an automobile.
Such strikes as the coal strike work
llko boomerangs In their far-reaching
effects In this pailleular Instance ,
the laboring man Is standing out for
an Increased wage , contending that
labor IH entitled to greater considera
tion and greater compensation than
It Is receiving at the hands of the op
erators , but whllo those comparatively
few laborers In the coal mining dls-
trlctH are quibbling over their wage ,
other thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of laboring men all over Amer
ica are being thrown out of employ
ment In oven this early stage of the
struggle , as a direct result of the coal
shortage. Laboring men right hero
n Norfolk , railroad men and others ,
are right now losing tlmo and money
.hrough ( he shutdown In the mines.
And a continued Htniggle will be even
more serious. All of which goes to
show that the people of this country
ought to have some right to step In
and compel an agreement and a set
tlement of the strike. Where the trou
ble lies or the blame for the shutting
lown of operations , IH not for the lay
man to say. It may bo with the op
erators and It may bo with the min
ors. Hut surely there Is some eqult-
able wage which the operators oncbt
to pay and with which the miners
ought to bo satisfied. And \\lth every
lay of the continued strike meaning
< : o much , It looks as though a third
party , In the person of the republic's
executive head , ought to take the af
fair out of the hands of the Interested
and prejudiced sides to the case , and
settle It In as nearly the really fair
way as possible. It Is too critical a
matter to allow child's play and child's
quarreling to block the wheels of the
country's progress.
ADMITS IT IS PROVKN.
Last week the Wayne Democrat de
voted a half column trying to show
the public that W. N. Huso didn't
know hat he WIIH talking about , when
he told the facts regarding the libel
suit Into which ho was thrown because
bo supported Mr. McCarthy for con
gress by printing things dished up by
McCarthy's committee. This week
even Goldlo has como to and Is now
sitting up and noticing things. He is
ready to concede that Mr. Huso has
proven his assertions In regard to Mc
Carthy and the Third district represen
tatives abuse of both the Norfolk ed
itor an dedltors In general. The dem
ocrat this week , though it naturally
would prefer to oust the republican
party In this district
, admits that a
good clean man is needed. It says :
"As between The Norfolk News and
Congressman McCarthy the average
politician Is between the devil and the
deep sea , McCarthy makes a good
denial of The News' accusations , but
the newspaper comes back at him , and
proves Its former assort Ions as to
Mac's Ingratitude by quoting Judge
Robertson of Norfolk on the matters
involved. It '
wouldn't hurt the coun
try to throw the whole bunch over
the fence , and send a good , clean man
to Washington. "
A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The lynching of three negroes in
Springfield. Mo. , for crimes which it
Is doubtful that they committed , brings
home to the United States once again ,
and In a most horrible manner , the
serious race problem which must ,
sooner or later , be solved. The ac
tions of that mob read like a page
torn from the history of some bar
barous peoples a thousand years ago ,
or more , And yet the state of Mis
souri offers but $300 for the arrest
and conviction of the leaders of the
gang , fiovernor Folk has acted quick
ly and properly In the matter by doing
nil pOHHlblo to ferret out the respon
sible parties , but It Is possible that
the guilty OUCH may never bo brought
to justice , The people of Springfield
were mightily Incensed against the
blackmcn who were guilty of the
crimes which this mob was trying to
avenge , and they little cared whether
the victims of their lynching wore
guilty or Innocent. Such things bring
pity for the colored race , pity that
there should be these among them
who would create such an Intense feel-
lug against the cntlio race. It makes
their advancement , If they are to ad
vance , Just that much slower.
In the following description there Is
food for thought among all Americans.
Condemn the deeds as wo may , de
plore It as we must , there still re
mains this tragic condition of affairs
which , ono day , must bo mot face to
face :
"He was dragged out , bin hands
were tied behind his back , a rope was
put around his neck and ho was
marched down the street to the tower
In the square. The negro stood di
rectly above the smouldering ash
heap , from which the smell of burn
ing HcHh aro.so. The hangman caught
the negro by the ankles , lifted him
and threw him forward over the rail-
Ing. Allen turned a sotnerHault ln < the
air and as the rope became taut his
neck cracked llko a pistol shot. The
rope'broke and ho fell In the bed of
coals on top of the oilier two negroes.
There ho kicked and lloiiudered
around until another rope was brought
and thrlco looped around the neck and
he was again suspended In mid air.
"More boxes were brought , another
big llro was kindled and soon tlio
swaying figure , now dead , fell Into It ,
Bending up an arrowy spray of live
sparks. After that most of the men
went home , but some men and boys
stayed by the tower all night and fed
ho fire. When daylight broke upon
ho scene there remained only the
thickened trunks and charred remains
) f the negroes.
"Five thousand persons saw the
rlo hanged and burned. Among the
; rowd of spectators were hundreds of
women and chlldern , boys and girls.
In a hall overlooking ( bo plaza a dance
vas In progress. Its music stopped ,
vhllo the dancers crowded to the win-
lows and watched the writhing black
todies and the flames that finally con
sumed them. "
GALL STONEb.
Man looks at the world through col
ored glasses. Most of us like to be-
love that wo can see things pretty
icarly ns they really are , for to that
s the true aim of fairness , but as a
matter of fact It Is a rare person In
this world who actually does get a
fair and square view of everything ho
looks at.
During the past couple of years cir
cumstances of ono sort and another
have brought to light the fact that
there are a considerable number of
people In Norfolk nmicted with gall
stones. Ono case has been the means
of bringing to notice another , and
thus the chain of gallstone patients
has been Increased in the public eye
until It seemed that every tenth per
son or so was a victim of this ailment ,
which had not until recently been
heard much of.
The result was that Norfolk began
to believe it was especially afflicted In
this regard and a rumor crept around
the town to the effect that some sur
geon or other somewhere had declared
that more gallstone cases originated
at Norfolk than anywhere else of Its
size that ho lqiow of. The fable was
given credence by many because of
the gallstone atmosphere hereabouts ,
and they began to hunt around fqr a
cause , finally lighting upon the city
water , figuring It out that there was
more lime In Norfolk's water supply
than there ought to bo.
The absurdity of It all Is shown by
the fact that within the past few years
Mayo brothers , two surgeons at Ro
chester. Minn. , have themselves per
formed no less than 17,000 operations
upon persons from all parts of the
world for gallstones.
And It Is a further well known and
well established fact that the quality
of Norfolk's city water Is hard to beat
anywhere.
And so wo find Norfolk , after all.
merely swimming along in the same
gallstone-nond In which all of the rest
of the wide world Is bathing , and the
distinction which wo thought wo had
had thrust upon us , has molted away.
It simply serves as a striking exam
ple of looking at the world through
spectacles made with local-condition
lenses. The same rule applies to
everything else on earth , as well ns
gallstones. It applies to sugar tarlf !
and to church creeds and to opinions ,
good or bad , about our neighbors.
And the man who can take off these
colored glasses and look out over the
world with a clear eye and a true
sight , getting an honest and genuine
view of things as they actually and
really are , Is the man who stands out
pre-eminently fitted either to chronicle
history or to make it
DOOkS FOR NORFOLK.
A novel social , called a "book so
cial , " will be held In Norfolk tomor
row night. As an admission fco , n
book will be charged at the door. The
significance lies not In the novelty o
the affair , however , but In the book.
Norfolk Is a city of 5,000 people am
a community proud of Its advance
ment toward n hlgjicr civilization
Norfolk claims a prestige such as Is
known to few cities of Its size in the
country , by virtue of being the mo
tropolls of the entire northern half o
the great state of Nebraska. Norfoll
has a future before It , It believes am
hopes , and therefore Is ambitious. 13u
In one respect Nortolk Is lacking. Fo
Norfolk lacks a library.
It Is said that the most potent fac
tors in civilization are the bath tub
and the library. Norfolk has passei
the Center ( Nub. ) stage of advance
ment , so far as the bath tub is con
conled , for Norfolk has a dozen or so
of these modern conveniences hlddci
In Its exterior. And last week the
city voted bonds to the extent of $10.
000 In order that these bath tubs
might drain out as well regulated ball
tubs ought to drain out , and there
fore that pioposltlon Is pretty wel
taken care of and wo may lay claim
to at least a half-clvlllzed state.
Dut In the other essential of the
higher typo of life , Norfolk can per
haps claim no prestige over Center
For Center Is a county seat town and
has , at least , the books ot the county
treasurer , while Norfolk can lay claim
to no public set of books worth men
tioning.
Norfolk Is made up of highly Intel
ligent people and people well educat
ed. Perhaps no city of Norfolk's size
could be found In the state where there
are a larger number of persons who
can bo .said to bo well educated. There
are attorneys and judges hero , there
are doctors ajid ministers , there are
college and university graduates and
there are many other men and women
who are eminently well equipped with
liberal educations. Most of thorn have
comparatively small libraries of their
own , which they enjoy and which per
haps siifllco In individual cases , but
thlH IK not taking into account the
linndreds of ether people who have
no books and yet who would , with the
proper incentives , bo glad to learn to
eve tlio right type of literature. And
I Is the moral duty of these people to
push the library.
Theio are young men and young women -
men in Norfolk who find themselves
est for things to do. They spend
many , many idle hours during the days
and just as many during the nights.
These young folk , once they learned
the Joy of reading good stuff that Is
written by men and women who can
make other people think , would begin
to frequent the reading rooms during
their evenings , and the whole moral
tone of the city would bo lifted up and
made better than it is today.
In almost every little town there
are a number of young men and young
women who go down to the railroad
station in the evening to see the train
come in. That Is all tlio excitement
they have In the world , and they are
not to blame for their energy. Dut
books might bo made to take the
place of trains in their minds. In
Norfolk , they don't go down to watch
the trains come In , but they do other
tilings that are eminently ns vicious
and perhaps more so.
Down in Hast Aniora , In the state
of Now York , a man with a very ad
mirable idea for a little socialoglcal
experiment of IIH ! own , and the first
thing he did , after building a build
ing In which the members of the
little colony would make pcifect
books , was to Install a bath tub
and a library , with up-to-date and
charming literature and with a piano
in the corner. An artistic atmosphere
began to circle around that communi
ty until , for a little while , there was
almost a halo over East Aurora. It
would have been there yet If the
leader , himself , hadn't gone wrong.
Norfolk needs a little of that atmos
phere. Wo ought to turn on the pub
lic library and get It going. Tomor
row night is the opportunity to make
a starting , and it is hoped , for the
sake of Norfolk's moral tone and com
fort , that the social will not loads of
good books and , moro than that , a gen
uine Interest among the people of the
city.
THAT LIBEL CASE.
No Question About Cussing.
Stanton Register : There is no ques
tion of veracity between the Norfolk
News editor and Congressman McCar
thy. The News has proven that Mac
did say that there were "damn fool"
republican editors In the Third dis
trict.
A Deserved Rebuke.
Meadow Grove Press : Congress
man McCarthy Is getting a lot of free
advertising on nccount of the shabby
manner In which ho treated Editor
Huso in the libel suits growing out of
articles published by Mr. Huso to as
sist In the election of McCarthy. Huse
certainly has the best of the argument
so far and the airing will cost McCar
thy his nomination the next time he
goes before the people asking their
support The Ingratitude of profes
sional politicians is proverbial but this
Is a case where ingratitude degen
crated Into actual meanness and Me
Cnrthy is getting a deserved rebuke
One Mistake ,
Wayne Herald : It Is reported that W
W. Young of Stanton will be In the flel
ns a candidate for nomination to sue
cced J. J. McCarthy as congressman
from the Third Nebraska district
This congressional fight Is surely getting
ting Interesting with McCarthy , Doy <
and Young In the field and Severn
counties yet to hear from. We wcr
assured a short time ago that McCar
thy would have no opposition for th
nomination. How easy It Is for a fel
low to bo mistaken In his polltlca
guesses.
Struck the Limit.
Hastings Tribune : The rcpnbllcai
editors of the Third congressional dls
trlct hnve not taken kindly to Reprc
sentntive McCarthy's statement concerning
corning the "damned newspaper edli
ors. " and ns a consequence they wll
lend their support to Judge Franl
Doyd , or some other first-class man
to succeed McCarthy.
As a rule the editors are ever ready
to bo fnlr with public ofllclnlH , and nre
over ready to give thorn a boost with
out so much as a thought of a "thanl
yon.1 Dut at the same tlmo there 1
n limit to his gratitude , and the cd
Itors of the Third district feel thn
'McCarthy has forced them to the llm
it.

O'Neill Frontier.
There Is a noticeable difference be
tween the way republican papers ed
Ited by postmasters outside of this
congressional district view this Huso
McCarthy scrap from the way those
within map It out.
Some of McCarthy's papers say thai
the democrats appear to think the
present congressman would be eas >
lo beat yet they do not seem anxious
to see him nominated.
The democrats bnvo only one concern
corn in Mr. McCarthy's nomination
They know ho has been n pliant ser

Doesn't Like Mc.'s Record.
St. Edward Sun : Two years ago
the editor of the Sun was among a
very few republican papers that re
fused to oupport J. J. McCarthy for
he second term as congressman in
this district. We did not llko the rec
ord he bore at home and wo refused
o stultify ourselves by voting for htm.
liator events have proved the correct-
icss of our decision. Two years ago
T. J. Shelbloy of Ponca , sent out n
warning regarding the homo life of
McCarthy and advised the electors not
to vote for him. The Norfolk News ,
with others , published a denial and
Sheibley brought a libel suit against
Editor Huse. A couple of weeks ago
Mr. Huso settled the suit out of court ,
) iit will now expose McCarthy in his
true light. McCarthy said he "did not
impose to stand responsible for the
vaporings of every damned fool new&-
wper man in the state. " Wo are glade
o say thnt Doone county , and espe
cially this precinct ( Beaver ) , refused
o support McCarthy for the second
erm and if ho should secure the nom-
nation for the third term by manlpu-
atlng the republican machine gangs
n the district , Boone county will be
found giving him n black eye.
Here's a Sample.
Hurt County Herald : Wo have oc
casion to make a great long mark be
cause we are In receipt of the first
scratch of a pen from our congress
man , Hon. J. J. McCarthy , since he
Irst entered congress. Not even a
jackage of garden seeds or nny public
locument of nny kind was over re
ceived until now. Tbe enclosure con
tained n column of mntter In his own
lefense In the matter of The Norfolk
News : In a private not to us ho says :
'I wrlto you simply to apprise you of
tlio fact that I am not , and never have
been , unfriendly to newspapers , and
whenever possible I have tried to give
them the best of It , simply because I
thought they deserved It. " We are
lot from Missouri , but still we would
Iko to be shown how , when and where
he newspapers got the best of It , un-
ess it was the honor and privilege of
lefendlng him in two campaigns with-
> ut fee or hope of reward. Wo are
lot disappointed in McCarthy , we nev-
> r asked him a favor , nor never ex-
icct anyWo realize that he com-
lares favorably with the average poll-
Iclan in using the newspaper as a
leer mat to wipe his feet on to get
ofllco. When a campaign is on or a
lefense of a candidate Is to bo made ,
ho newspaper Is expected to devote
columns of space gratis. As far as
ho Herald Is concerned , that practice
vlll not continue. It will always be
endy and willing to advocate party
irlnciples free , but when it comes to
lefendlng the private character of a
mrty candidate , it will draw the line
and make the charge regular rates
over the signature of the contributor ;
cnsh must Invariably accompany the
copy ; also an Indemnifying bond to
n-otect us against damage suits that
nay be brought againet the paper for

Carthy will find that his troubles about
getting a third term will gather and

Madison Star-Mall : Ed Burnham ,

conversation with the editor of the
Star-Mail Mr. Biirnliam spoke Joking
ly of his senatorial boom launched by
a friend through the Norfolk Dally
News , and took occasion to say that
for the first tlmo ho Is now in need
of a good press agent. The Star-Mall

A Better Way.
Madison Chronicle : Two young fol
lows from Norfolk have been In the
city the past week getting up a "busi
ness" directory. The Idea is to group
the business firms In ads. on a sheet
of card board and scatter the cards
around. The amount paid for such
advertising was a good thing for the
boys who were working the graft , but
would be more profitable to the mer
chant if he expended through the reg
ular channels the local newspapers.
