The Nlobrnrn Pioneer , In comment
ing OH the death of an Indian chief ,
pays : "Ho Is dead ; ho WHB a good
Indian. " Would It not perhaps lit the
popular Idea better to say , "ho IB a
good Indian ? "
Congressman McCarthy the other
dny , whllo hurrying through n swing
ing door , sprained his auUlo. The
chances are ho was in such n hurry
to establish nnothor of hlB wonderful
list of rural routes , that ho failed to
too where ho was stopping.
The Norfolk firemen will ilvo a big
picnic on the Fourth of July. There
will bo no colobrutlon In Norfolk ,
aside from this. But there will bo
fireworks and explosions In the old
town , for all thnt. And after all , who
knows more about fireworks than lire-
men ?
If Norfolk as n city would take hold
of the bargain day proposition , and
glvo special bargains In nil lines on
Bomo cortnln day , the trndo nrcn of
the town could bo Incrensed very ma
terially. And now that there Is a
commorclnl club , organized for Just
such purposes , there IB no reason why
an attempt could not bo mndo easily.
The Fremont Herald , nftor having
stated that McKlllIp would run for
congress , has finally published n let
ter stating that ho will not bo a can
didate. This was announced In Nor
folk months ago. Mr. McKlllIp said
In Norfolk that ho thought the govern
orship was prcforrablo to the congres
sional nomination. May wo not pre
sume , nftor nil , thnt Mr. McKlllIp mny
bo In the gubernatorial race ?
Thirty-four schools wcro burned In
San Francisco during the flro that fol
lowed the earthquake , and moro than
450 teachers and 20,000 students were
burned out of class rooms. The
stricken city Is now trying to rebuild
the schools with the aid of the school
children of the United States. The
movement Is a worthy one , and the
rebuilt schools nt San Francisco , like
these do at Oalveston , will stand as
monuments to the energy and generos
ity of the American schoolboy nnd
schoolgirl.
There will never bo nnothor ycnr of
bnrd times In Nebraska like that which
was experienced in the early nineties.
At that tlmo the farmers depended
upon their crops for their farms , nnd
to lose n yenr meant disaster nnd
ruin. Today most of the farmers In
this country own their own farms ,
hnve enough crops saved up for a cou
ple of years to come , have money In
the bank and could withstand easily
a bad year If It were necessary
There may bo dry years again some
dny , though there hnvo been none for
sovernl seasons , but the Nebraska
farmer's bank account Is prepared
now as never before for days thnt are
not rainy.
Theio is something In Major John
1L McLaughlln's readiness to die , up
nt Fort Randall , South Dakota , now
that he has helped turn down the po
litical machine which once turned him
down , that will appeal to human sym
pathy. He was tired of being dictated
to by two or three fellows In his com-
munlty , and now that ho has scon
them ousted he has gratified the chief
nmbltldn of his old age. The major
' 'likely was willing to do what he could
ttfhelphls par.ty and his friends , but
1 when It came to being merely dictated
to as'to what ho could nnd what h
couldn't do , and as to when ho could
and when be could not go to the state
convention , he revolted at the treat
ment , and he , lived to see the day when
' 'he could go to the state convention
without the aid or consent of any ma
chinery In South Dakota. Now he li
ono of the boys.
There come times In the lives of nil
men when it is necessary to take de
cided and positive stands on various
'questions ' that como up. The man who
Jails and shirks tbo responsibility , per
haps through the fear of antagonizing
ono set of people or another Indicates
bis weakness. The man who sees
what he thinks Is the right course and
the honest view , and who declares him
self , shows his strength. That Is what
differentiates between the strong nud
the weak , the leaders and the follow-
-ers. A man may be ever so nice , and
ever so pleasant to talk with , and
handsome withal , but that is not
enough to make of him a leader among
his fellows , The world admires and
respects the man who has opinions of
iis own , knows why he has them , and

A few days ago nil NobraRka wore
u worried look , nnil the frown grow
deeper ouch tiny , because of clenr
HkloH that continued dny nftor dny , re
fusing to pour out nny molHturo , nnd
hccntiHO of h'ot wlutiH thnt hlow from

lent thlH illicit ho nnothor of the old

of rnlnwmor oh the level country fell
from I ho clouds on Sunday night nnd
Mondny morning , nud today confidence
IIUB hcon restored. It wnn only two
weeks that wo wcro without rain , yet
they we're two vltnl weeks. It has
hoon ( i long time since Nature failed
to provide the propur ntnonnt of water
for Nebraska , nnd the performance of
thlH week shows thnt there need ho
llttlo alarm felt for the coming Bum *
men , for Nohraflka will ho taken cnro
of. And now , with n good rnln nnd n
good Htnrt In the Holds , there IB no
reason why there should not ho n

dation of Nohniskn's prosperity , nnd
Nohraskn IB all right this yenr.
Fremont business men have , within
the pnat year , restored to tholr trade-
center the fanners who used to come
to town to huy twenty ycnrs ngo nnd
who , Inter , dropped nwny from Fre
mont us their ( Hiding point. The most
effective menns thnt 1ms been used
has been the columns of the news
paper there which rcnchoa the farm-
era nil through the county. The mer
chants there haw presented storo-nr-
gutnonts to the farmers miles out In
the country , through the newspaper
columns. Norfolk merchants cnn do
the Hiuno thing In Norfolk trndo terri
tory. The News circulates every dny
all over the farm urea In n circle ton
miles around Norfolk , nnd reaches
nlno out of ton farmers In nil thnt
vast circle. They read The News and
they rend the nds. A convincing ar
gument will ho road by thorn nnd , If
It la forceful enough to glvo them rea
son to do It , will bring thorn Into the
store to Investigate. It would bo
money In the pockets of Not folk mer
chants to rench this territory of farm
ers every day with reasons why they
ought to come Into the various stores
of the town. Speclnl Inducements
would prove effective.
TO IMPROVE RIVERS.
It begins to look as If the most im
portant moatmro which would occupy
the attention of the next session of
congress , will bo the Improvement of
Internal waterways , nnd from present
Indications Nebraska , together with
all other states on the Missouri rlvor ,
will benefit. In fact the entire coun
try will benefit If the present plans
nro cnrrled out.
Kansas City men hnve Just appro
priated { 300,000 for the building of
a great fleet of river boats which will
carry freight nnd save the merchants
and shippers of that city $700.000 per
year. Slnco water transportation Is
cheaper than rail , It is argued that the
rivers could bo used down to the gulf
for making cheaper transportation for
the whole Inland country.
And It is argued that If one city will
show such faith In a movement as has
Kansas City , nnd If the United States
cnn spend so ninny millions In dig
ging nn Isthmian canal , the country
could surely afford to Improve the
rivers so thnt they could bo navigated.
It looks now ns though the tariff
nnd the meat Inspection bill and the
pure food law would all bo overshad

CHICAGO'S ZEAL. ,
The commercial interests of. Chi-
cn'go have wired to Prof. Peters of the
N6braska university experiment sta
tion , asking him to conio to Chicago
and , Jn company with several other
prominent scientists , investigate the
condition of the packing houses at
Chicago. The Investigation Is being
had , of course , for the sake of protect
ing Chicago business Interests as much
as possible , from the effects of the
meat Inspection report But It is far
too late for the nocklno houses to now
satisfy the pnbllc with nny whitewash
of thl * sort Too much time , allowing
chances to clean up , has elapsed since
the report of President Roosevelt was
Issued , to satisfy the opinion of the
public on this matter.
The business zeal of Chicago men
just at this time brings back the Im
pressions which were written about
the town by Rudyard Kipling when ho
toured America and set forth his views
In "Letters of Marque. " In Chicago
Mr. Kipling found gilded hotels , with
people rushing In and out with tele
grams in their hands , and talking
about how much money they were
making. A cabman drove him around
the town for so much per mile and
pointed out the beautiful sights , name
ly the tall buildings that cost so many
millions , the factories that put'Otyt fO |
many dollars worth of soap a Sjfcaf ,
nnd the endless throng that crowed
the muddy , dirty rlvor. And out at
the packing houses , which wcro Inspected
*
spected by Mr. Kipling , ho watched
the blood-red men stick the animals
and ( daughter them. Ho saw a young
woman , all gowned In red , with a scar
let colored hat , crimson shoes nnd a
crimson gown , with black eyes and
blnck hair , standing In the stabbing
room whore men wcro sticking hogs ,
her rod heels In blood , and looking at
I ho Hlnughterlng of animals , listened
to their squeals , without flinching. "I
had seen Chicago , " Kipling concluded ,
In regard to this woman.
