Norfolk ought to bavo a hospital.
This week n llntto boy was shot accl-
dentally nnd the wound was so no-
voro thnt It was thought nocoflsary to
take him to Omaha to extract the bill-
Jot. Ho pnRBod through Norfolk on-
route to the hospital , and had to bo
carried In his wounded condition 120
miles further , after having reached
this point. Norfolk IB moro 'than 100
miles from Butte , so that , after hav
ing ridden from 1 In the morning until
6 , the boy with a bullet In his log ho
bad only passed the half-way house
toward Uio point where ho could secure -
cure relief. This Incident merely Il
lustrates what la happening every day
In the year In the way of Illness. People
ple arc going through Norfolk with
their ailments for treatment , Just as
they are with their shopping bags ,
who ought to bo stopping bore. A
good hospital would do much to In
duce them to stop.
The dispatches sent from Norfolk ,
by railroad men of this city , to senat
ors at Washington , protesting against
the rigid anti-pass dnuso In the rail
road rate bill , have , together with
those received from other points of a
similar nature , bad the effect of help
ing to throw the bill back for another
discussion In congress , as Is Bhown
by the following Washington report :
"Probably never before In the history
of the United Stntes senate has mich
* t n ttrtt 11 fill lr\Ilf f\n
that august body as was precipitated
by the proposed anti-pass clause In
the rate bill , prohibiting the Issuance
lof free transportation to railway em
ployes. Senators Mlllnrd and Burkett
wore Inundated by the yellow slips.
The two Nebrnsknns found thorn at
their homes , their clubs nnd In their
committee rooms , while pngcs brought
thorn In heaping basUetsfull to their
desks In the senate chamber. As n
result of this storm , and because of
other mutilations of the bill by the
conferees , the measure has been sent
back to conference. The folly of the
rigid anti-pass clause was shown up
on the senate lloor when It was found
that under Its provision the crows of
trains would bo compelled to purchase
tickets before they could undertake
their duties. As for the hardships It
would hnvo worked , both to employer
nnd employe , they vroro found to bo
almost without number. It would have
prevented the prompt movement of
track laborers nnd train crows , have
broken up families , would bavo ren
dered impossible such rescue work as
was undertaken by the railroads on
the occasion of the San Francisco horror
ror and would have resulted In much
actual suffering. In several dlrcc
lions , also , the conferees exceeded
their rights by injecting words ani !
clauses that had the effect of engraft
ing now legislation on the bill. As a
protest against this action the mea
sure was referred back for furtho
consideration and correction. Th
chief regret , however , lies In the fnc
that this vexed ploco of loglslntloi
again Is under discussion , nnd at
time when It wns believed thnt cor
gress wns well through with it. "
MR. BRYAN'S CANDIDACY. .
It is evident thnt Mr. Bryan Is a
tractlng moro attention from the va
rlous Influential members of his part
just at the present tlmo than ho 1m
before since his last defeat for th
presidency. Ills vncntlon bns not Ir
jured him In any way nnd ho come
homo to meet n party thnt Is lookln
for a lender In whom to entrust It
campaign In 190S. Mr. Bryan wn
formerly termed n radical by his coi
stltuents , but his rival , Hcnrst , Is s
much more Insanely erratic that Mr.
Bryan now seems the tamest man
available. The reforms which have
been Instituted by Mr. Roosevelt will
also have an effect of placing Mr. Bry
an moro In harmony with the public
mind , and for those reasons It would
be no surprising thing to see the lead
er who has twice taken his party to
defeat , rally the separated elements
of the ranks and engage In a very
spirited campaign.
And If Bryan shall bo the nominee
of his party in 1908 , there con bo no
but thnt It will ho n red hot
runipnlKti , for lamum hnvo boon made
during the pnHt couple of years by
Mr. UooHovell , and the famous No-
brnRkan ban not loHt any of his oratorical
torical pOWOI'H.
Hut the nomination will not como
without a struggle to the former lead-
or. Hearst IH n bigger mini with his
party today than ho ha boon In the
past , and his effort will bo backed by
money , though ho can not , of course ,
win oul. And then there are , here
and there , Influential members of the
democratic piuty who once Blood for
llrynu , who are not us cnthuHliiHtlc
today. For Instance , In our own state
Mr. Hitchcock was once the champion
of Hryan , and the World-Herald was
called "Ilrynn's paper. " Mr. Bryan
fulled to turn the United Slatofl son-
ntonthlp lo Mr. Hitchcock at an op
portune moment , however , nnd the
Hllng of Ingratitude for services that
hud been rendered by the nowHpapor
man liavo loft a bad tiiHto In IIH ! mouth.
Ono of the strong signs of the times
In thlH regard WIIH the Interview
which wan sent to the cant on special
telegraph wires , given by Mr. Tibbies ,
formerly candidate for vlco president
on the populist ticket , In which It Is
hinted that Bryan la now n tool of
the trusts. While the World-Herald
has not como out openly against the
silver-tongued orator , yet Mr. Tlbblca
Is In the World-Herald office nnd this
Interview comes ns a keynote to the
fooling of the editor , Mr. Hitchcock.
So that , all In all , with such men
as Hitchcock and Hearst and others
of like calibre In the party only hike
warm In regard to the Bryan candi
dacy , It may bo seen thnt there will
bo something of a struggle In the par
ty convention , with the chances In
favor of Mr. Bryan'B nomination.
HAS UK EARNED A THIRD TERM ?
In a story that was telegraphed from
Washington this week to one of the
Nebraska papers , a good portion of a
column was used to tell how persist
ently Congressman McCarthy had
worked to socuio a pension for a Fre
mont widow nnd how , after the pen
sion wns secured , the widow found
that slio had money coming from an
other Bourco and was honest enough
to send back her pension money.
What Mr. McCarthy Intended to bring
out , when ho Inspired the eastern cor
respondent to wire several hundred
words of the atory , though It was
merely one of those Incidents which
probably occur In the careers of all
rimi-nannin f t vna Iti nnnnrnaa wna Mm
'act that ho had boon doing something
luring his four years down at Wash-
ngton , oven though It were nothing
nero than working to secure n pen-
ilon for the Fremont widow who didn't
iced It. But thnt kind of campaign
natorlal will not ronomlnato Mr. Mc
Carthy. Thus far working for pen
sions and for rural routes that would
liavo como nnyway , are all the accom
plishments to which ho has been able
to point.
But the people of Nebraska are
growing tired of hearing congressmen
point to n few little details which al
ways have to bo looked after in con
gress , ns accomplishments that Justify
their return to the national legislature.
There nro always a number of llttlo
things thnt como up In a congress
man's path , such as looking after pen
sions , looking out for mral routes ,
recommending postmasters for ap
pointment , distributing free garden
seeds to constituents , sending copies
of the Congressional Record out
through the country , eating three
times a day and voting on questions
that como along though wo of the
Third Nebraska have not forgotten the
llmo when oven voting ( in the case of
the salary grab bill ) was neglected by
our able representative.
Bnt this country Is getting a llttlo
tired of hearing these various things
held up ns rensons why wo should reelect -
elect a mnn at $5,000 per year to a
job that might Just as well bo filled
by someone who can do some good to
his country.
Two terms In congress nro prac
tically conceded to the representative
who doesn't do anything so very bad
In his first term. It is admitted that
in one term n congressman has nol
bad much tlmo to get into the game
But when it comes to the third term
wo want some other reason than the
fact thnt the politician has drawn his
salary and done the things that anj
school boy could do , before wo sent
him back to become n permanent fix
ture.
Without regard to the kind or mai
ho is , has Mr. McCarthy renlly earnei
n third term ?
DAY BELITTLES MEAT AGITATION
Chancellor Day's address , dellverei
as the baccalaureate sermon to Cornel
university students , in which ho flay :
President Roosevelt severely for hi
sensational messages donounclnj
trusts nnd railroads and corporation
and the packers , has attracted wld
attention for the reason that there ar
few men who have the nerve to stam
up and face the wave of popular sent !
ment that has swept along with over ;
move made by Mr. Roosevelt.
Chancellor Day deplores the fac :
that such sensationalism has bee ;
lined In dragging the publics atten
tion through slaughter houses , where
It In none too ploasnnt to look at best ,
and to mnko nauseating suggestion ! )
In regard to the food thnt goes on our
tables. Ho regrets the fnct that the
president has attempted by this moons
to force loglfilntlon which will pro-
vlilo moro olllclont meat Inspection.
AH a mutter of fnct , President Roosevelt
velt rcgrelti perhaps as much an any
one , the fact that It became ncccnsar }
to use tlila'sort of publicity In forcing
legislation , for ho said In advance Hint
the publishing of the report would InJure -
Juro the llvo Block Industry of the
country , but after all the puckers are
thoniHolves to blaine for the publishIng -
Ing of the loport , and nobody olfio.
President RooHOvelt gnvo the pack-
ni-B warning that ho would print the
report In case they attempted to block
the measure which provides for great
er me.it Inspection. They did try to
block It , right hero In Nebraska , by
declaring lo the llvo stock growers
that If the bill passed the burden of
Inspecting the stock would bo thrown
upon the cattle raisers and the hog
raisers. They forced the hand of Mr.
Roosovclt nnd ho played bin trumps.
The whole case resolves Itself Into
the question of whether the condltloiiH
In packing houses are bad or not. If
they are as bad ns reported , then the
country will bo only too glad to have
the force of Inspectors Increased , thus
giving greater protection to local eat
ers of moat. And whether the condi
tions have been exaggerated or not ,
wo all know that meat thnt Is sold by
the packers In this country Is not sub
jccted to the rigid Inspection that IB
given to meats which are sent to for
eign countries , so that Americans really -
ly liavo a right to demand ns good
protection In this line as do the for
eigners.
It Is no doubt true thnt the percent
age of diseased Block chopped up into
meat and sold , Is very small as com
pared with the good , but there Is no
reason why the country should bo
weld any diseased meats at nil.
And some IB Bold , thnt is cortaln.
Not long ago there were some lumpy
jawed cattle In a yard not far from
Norfolk. Now they nro gone. Local
butchers dare not use this sort 01
stock , for the whole community In a
small town would know It In a day.
But the diseased stock hns gone , nnd
it Is evident thnt It bus gone to South
Omaha. Made Into meat , It hns been
Inter sold nnd cnten. Last week a
man at Tlldon sold a lumpy Jawed
steer in boutn omaiia , wlucii wns
thrown out of foreign , ment purchases
by Inspectors , for $48. The packers
bought It for less money than a good
animal would have brought.
It Is true , ns Mr. Day's sermon says ,
thnt not many people die ns the result
of poisoned meat , for the reason that
the small percentage that Is diseased
la not enough to create n reign of fa
tality , but It is anything but desirable ,
nevertheless , nnd wo might ns well
Improve the condition ns much as
possible.
The llvo stock Industry may suffer
for a time through a lack of demand
for American ments , but the prices
rose yesterday on llvo stock nnd , at
all events , the market will recover
within a comparatively short space of
tlmo , provided the Increased force of
inspetcors Is put on , so that In ten
yenrs from now the people will have
forgotten all about the Incident , will
bo eating American meats again as
they formerly did , and will bo getting
better meats than they have gotten in
the past.
It Is nil right to protect our Indus
tries In all legitimate ways , but the
packers have brought this publicity
on themselves by trying to block
much-needed legislation which , if they
are trying to do the square thing , can
not damage them in nny way except
ing to tax them a few pennies on each
animal that goes through the mill.
GOING AWAY TO SCHOOL.
Despite the figures given by Prof.
Bessey of the state university , and
quoted at the alumni banquet the oth
er night by Prof. Bodwoll , showing
that the percentage of men who were
successful In business Increases with
the length of time spent In school and
college work , there Is a tendency
among men to give up school today
and rush Into business. It seems to
so many young men thnt they are los
ing tlmo in studying literature and
Latin and mathematics , and that they
could make moro progress adding fig
ures In an account book. So many fail
foresee that without laying a foun
dntlon with mathematics nnd lltera
turo and oven Latin , which Is the best
language-training study In the world
they will never bo able to rise up as
opportunities offer , and will always be
held down near the level at whlcl
they start. It Is true , of course , thai
some men win what Is termed sue
cess , who have not had education it
any shape , but these are the natural ! )
keen men who would have made easlei
successes If they had had educatlona
foundations , In the first place.
And then , again , there is altogethei
too much of a tendency to ovorlool
the fact that all success Is not In bust
t ness. The man who gets most out o
life learns to enjoy the llttlo things
the IInor points , of llfo. And surely
there Is no doubt that the mnn who
IH educated 1ms a deeper appreciation
of good books and good plays and good
living than ho who has not.
Many a man Is educated who thinks
ho Is not. Ho has educated himself.
But ho will spend a lifetime in getting
at the fundamental features which a
college ought to give him In four years.
The tendency to break away Is
shown by the O'Neill Frontier as fol
lows :
I < ocnl educators complain thnt there
are so few boys who lliilsli the high
school course. Hoys are scarce In the
high school graduating class , It gener
ally being the sweet girl graduate who
lisps with fervid eloquence , "Beyond
the Alps lies Italy. " Educators are
Inclined to bellovo It IB the fault or
the high school course , as the boys ,
who realize that they must soon be
wrcHtllng with the practical problems ,
of every day llfo , object to spending
weary months pouring over Latin and
Greek when they should bo acquiring
Honiothlng of Homo practical value.
The attitude the boys take Is causing
those engaged In educational work to
advocate the Introduction of the busi
ness course Into high schools , thus
giving the student his cholco between
It and the classic. There nro sevornl
boys In the O'Neill high school , it is
said , who would graduate next year if
they continued In school , but who say
they will not do so , for reasons above
stated.
There can bo no Ironclad rule , of
course , regarding college educations.
Some men are handicapped with the
four years they put In at college. This
Is not the fault of the college but of
the man , who falls to make good and
spends his tlmo in idleness , which
proven n curse the rest of his life.
The mnn who hns had just n llttlo of
the course provided Is not a fair speci
men , though bo Is frequently set up
as an example of the college man. "A
little learning Is n dangerous thing , "
we are told , and the man who told
Senator Allen , In the United States
senate , that nn egotistical and yet Il
logical speaker who bad just ended
his oratorical effort , "must have quit
In his sophomore year , " pointed to n
very well defined fact that to give a
superficial coating of study to many
men Is a damage.
Many n fool has gone to college nnd
como out only to moro positively play
the pnrt. But it is unfnlr to judge of
the value of the training by the ex
ception. The nvorngo result Is nil
that can bo used for a test
A grammar school student or oven
a high school boy , Is rarely old enough
ml experienced enough to judge for
imself the comparative arguments for
oing to work or going on to school ,
le Is a good deal like a patient under
doctor's care , who thinks he wants
o eat when eating would kill him.
Vnd so older heads fathers and moth-
rs should talk the matter over with
ilm and help him to decide.
AVhero there Is no inclination to
tudy nor ambition to do this , then
t Is surely a waste of tlmo and money
o put a boy In college. Or where
here is a tendency to stroll with the
Iris or watch the ball games rather
ban to dig out of the course the true
A'orth that Is to bo had only by hard ,
onstant nnd systematic work , then
putting the boy In college will hurt
liiu , and ho had better start out by
keeping busy , though he hns to work
on the street.
It all comes In the end to depend
ipon the Individual. But if a young
man Is ambitious and diligent and
knows how to work , nnd on top of that
ivants to learn things that will build
his foundation , do him no harm and
ivhlch are available only while he Is
Doling , no mistake can bo made by
sending him away. If ho is made of
he right stuff ho will be benefited.
His comrade who loft school and went
to work may pass him for a time , but
the one with the foundation will win
n the long run. On the other hand ,
just because a young man goes away
to school and passes with his class , Is
no Indication that he will come away
better off. For many n keen loafer
gets through examinations without nny
work. And It Is the plodder , rather
than the brilliant student , who gets
most from his course.
Practical tests are wnat count when
the student gets Into real life. The
fact that ho has n diploma may get
him n job , but will never hold It. But
If ho has honestly earned his diploma ,
ho ought to stand a better chance of
holding his job than the rival who
lacks the training that real study
gives.

ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
Some women would rather llvo with
a drunkard than bo single.
About the only consolation found in
growing old Is that there is always
one who Is older.
However menial your work , If you
do It well , It Is difficult to find a per
son who can take your place.
As a last resort , any woman can
control her husband by threatening
suicide. A man hates the sight of
blood.
Every man must bo his own doctor ,
and decide what Is best In his cnse.
The doctors nnd philosophers do not
agree on anything.
Profits of "the old man" always look
easy to the fellows who are working
for him. So many things look easy
mat are not.
There is one thing the great Slier-
lock Holmes , with all his genius , never
found out : From a man's own lips if
ho was to be married.
Wo will say that when a fireman
gets a job , he works hard. But he
looks mighty shiftless around the en
gine house , when there Is no fire.
Very often It Is snld that the Angel
of Death has called for a man , when
it would be more fitting If he had been
called for by a fire engine.
An Atchlson woman will go away to
spend the summer and leave a car
riage for the use of her mother : The
carriage is a baby buggy and the wo
man will leave the baby with it.
A curloua fact In connection with
the resignation of J. R. Burton , as
United States senator from Kansas , Is
that he misspelled Governor Hoch's
name : he spelled It "Hock" In two
places.
In the front window of an Atchlson
grocery store Is a can labelled : "Fan
cy Banquet Sorghum. " Think of sorghum
ghum at a banquet ! It might be all
right at a banquet given by the Kan
sas Day club , but It would be out of
place at a real banquet.
Our favorite notion Is that old men
are nearly always older than they say
they are. They say men lived to be
200 years old , In former times. There
are plenty of men that old now , if
they would tell the truth. A certain
Atchlson man says ho Is sixty-six
years old. Wo would like to point
him out to you ; ho Is ninety , If he Is
a day. After wo pass sixty , we Intend
to claim to bo ninety ; wo will thus at
tempt to attract attention , having
failed In other ways. By the time we
are seventy , we will claim to bo a
hundred and forty. After n man pass
es sixty , It doesn't make any differ
ence how old ho Is.

Using n dog as a weapon with which

Monday to secure a marriage license
for the mnrrlnge of Mr. Moore and MY * ,

lore Mr. Lecdom reported a row among'

doughty Sioux warrior , and that In his
anger , Red Horse seized a dog which
happened to bo near the scene of the

was appeased the dog's brains had
been literally beaten out , and Mrs ,
Kills Omaha wns In a most pitiable
condition.
Locked up In n box car nnd shipped
away until he was almost starved , was
the unique experience of a Wayne boy , ,
who has now returned to his home.
The Wayne Herald says ho will not
bo anxious to see the world soon again.
It says : George , the 14-year-old son
of Mr. nnd Mrs. Walter Gale of Wayne ,
returned homo this morning after an
absence of a couple of weeks , during
which he suffered experiences which
he will never forget. Bent on seeing
a little of the outside world , he left
home with a companion without con
sulting his parents. He first stopped
at Pierce and then journeyed to Ran
dolph. At the latter place he hired
out to a man who was shoveling corn
Into a car. After his work , ho laid
down and fell asleep. Before being
aroused , the car was locked and start
ed for market. His cries failed to at
tract attention , nnd he remained In the
car for three days and two nights.
He was nearly famished when he was :
released at Wllmnr , Minnesota. In
the meantime , his relatives here were
searching for him. Seeing a descrip
tion of the bov In a Sioux Cltv naner.
Mr. Gale hurried to Minnesota and
found him , returning with him this
morning. The young mnn Is happy
over his return , nnd will now be in no

Dandelions have been a perplexing'r ' ,
problem In this section of the state T > '
tor some time past. Some light on
the method of extermlnnting them
will be received by the people with
open arms. The Wayne Herald prints
this interesting bit of news on the
subject :
As secretary of the Wayne Commer
cial club , A. R. Davis wrote a letter
some weeks ago to R. A. Emerson ,
horticulturist of the state university
experiment station , asking for Informa
tion ns to the quickest nnd most effec
tive means by which to exterminate
dandelions , and received the following :
reply :
Lincoln , Neb. , May 24. Mr. A. R.
Davis , Wayne Neb. Dear Sir : Your
request for information with refer
ence to the extermination of dande
lions , has come to me for attention.
During last summer the experiment
station carried on rather extensive ex
periments calculated to throw some
light upon this question. The best
treatment as shown by our tests wasr
to cut the dandelinns an Inch or two ,
below the surfnco of the ground and ,
pour a spoonful of gasoline Into the
bole directly onto the cut surface of
the root. This treatment resulted In
