There Is this much that may bo pro-
dieted about the congressional cam
paign In the Third district of Nebras
ka , which Is now on It will bo a clean
campaign , devoid of personalities , find
worked out along political lines.
The news that the road west of Nor
folk Is being graded , preparatory to
graveling , will bo Joyful to people liv
ing out that way as well as to the
merchants of Norfolk. It will help all
nround , and It Is the beginning of a
movement that ought to bo continued.
The sugar factory still remains Idle.
The 'farmers hero will raise beets.
Secretary Wilson says this Is a great
chance for capital. If a sugar factory
could bo made to go hero , why not
utilize the buildings , land and hollers
and got busy at It ? If It can't , why
not start something that will go ?
Norfolk Is not content with doing
the same amount of business this year
ns last. To stand still is to lese
ground. What Norfolk wants Is n
steady Increase each year over busi
ness of the year before. This Increase
will coino from persistent , systematic
effort on the part of the Commercial
club.
Every time Norfolk gets a state con
vention , or any other kind of a con
vention , dollars are brought to Nor
folk which will stay horo. The race
meeting last wcok , the big picnic yes
terday , the congressional convcnlton
today and several that are scheduled
in advance , all help a llttlo. They are
worth going after.
A bus line between Norfolk and the
Junction , running every half hour or
BO , at a low rate that would make It
posslblo for residents to nmko the trip
frequently without unnecessary ex
pense , would mean money In the pock
ets of Norfolk merchants. The atten
tion of tha Commercial club is called
to the fact that something along this
line would help.
By establishing a bargain day In
Norfolk once a month , with excursions
on all railroads , Norfolk could offer
ns ono inducement to her neighbors ,
better than a two-cent faro. With
good crowds , something like ono faro
rates could undoubtedly bo secured ,
and the bargain day would unquestion
ably draw hundreds of people to Nor
folk.
More conventions In Norfolk would
help the town. The convention being
held hero today helps the town , and
costs us nothing. It brings people and
the people spend money. They buy
meals , if nothing more , and the grocer
and the butcher and the baker all get
their share out of that. With system
atic effort on the part of the Commer
cial club , more conventions could be
brought to Norfolk.
Norfolk will give the glad hand to
the stnto conference of charities and
corrections when that organization ar
rives In this city for Its annual meetIng -
Ing October 9. Norfolk appreciates
the compliment paid to this city by
being first north of the Platte river to
get the conference meeting. There
ought to bo a good many Interesting
problems to come up before the con
ference , and which will make the meet
ing of more than ordinary value.
This country will have the biggest
crop that has over been known in the
state's history , according to govern
ment statistics , unless there is a very
early frost. It will not be a great
while before the farmers of this sec
tion will be hauling their grain to
town , and hauling provisions bacfc
home with them. The better roads
between their farms and Norfolk , the
more provisions they will haul homo
from the Norfolk stores. It Is a mat
ter worthy of consideration , this good
roads proposition.
A bargain day , set for one day out
of every mouth , and always on the
nmno day the first Wednesday , for In-
Ntnnce , In each month-would , after a
few times , become an established fact
with the pcoplo of the Northwest. On
that day the merchants here could
offer leaders' as Inducements to como
to town , and those who cnmo could
IIml It a general 'Swapping" day , with
things to trade for , from a Jack knlfo
up to a house and lot. It IH being
worked successfully In many cities of
Norfolk's'typo.
Prof. Ijiwreuco Hrunor , who has
Just Mulshed an Investigation In Gum-
lug county IIH to the causes of the
army worm , him Issued a statement to
the farmm-H Imploring them to protect
the birds. The birds eat up thousands ,
and hundreds of thousands of Insects
each year , which thrive In cano the
bird family Is diminished. The birds
are the best friends the farmers have ,
and they ought to bo protected ,
through purely Hellish motives If for
no other roiison ,
Norfolk business men are demon
strating , by contributing a consider
able fund each month for the main-
tennnco of a Commercial club , that
they are willing to give of their profits
In order to mnko Norfolk grow. They
want results , of course. And results
may ho had with a systematic , orga
nized , constant effort. To got things
for Norfolk's help , there must bo per
sistent work. Hut there are a good
many things that could bo developed
right now , without any great outlay
of expense , which would help push
Norfolk along.
Twenty-one persons , mostly bathers ,
drowned last Sunday In the United
States In accidents which wore nt least
dual In their fatalities. Norfolk has
not had a drowning this summer ,
though each year generally claims at
least ono victim. Right now , while
the sun Is so hot and the Northfork's
waters so cold underneath , with
orampH highly possible , It may bo op
portune to suggest that parents would
do wqll to guard their children from
swimming In that stream. Let us go
through ono season without a life lost
In the Northfork's waters , If It Is pos
slblo.
A year ago the 7th of December Nor
folk was crowded with hundreds of
strangers who had never been In the
town before , and who cnmo hero to
spend their money on special sales
that had boon advertised. Many mer
chants in the town said nt that time
that It was the biggest day's business
they had ever done. Similar crowds ,
with similar business , could ho had
once a month In Norfolk by means of
a regular bargain day , when Induce
ments wore offered to outsiders to
como horo. Visitors could bring any
old thing they wanted to got rid of ,
and make it a "swapping" day among
themselves. Reduced railroad rates
could bo secured for the crowds. It
Is a possibility. It can bo done. It
would pay. Lot us do some of these
things that are posslblo.
After the democrats and the popu
lists of the Third congressional dis
trict had finished their convention
work In Norfolk the other day , the
chairman of the central committee expressed -
pressed , through these columns , the
appreciation of the entire delegation
for the treatment which the conven
tion had boon accorded by Norfolk.
The delegates were unanimous In
their praise of the cordial reception
given them here by the Commercial
club and the city at largo. They were
surprised at It. They had expected to
bo treated Indifferently. They claim
that Norfolk has hitherto not had the
best of reputations as a convention
town , because they thought that the
town always paid llttlo or no attention
to the delegates. But Norfolk has
started now in the right direction. It
pays to got conventions and to give
them a glad hand.
MERCHANTS AND TWO-CENT FARE
It is asserted that all but four gov
ernors In this country , east of the
Mississippi river , have pledged their
active aid to enacting two-cent rail
road passenger fares next winter. The
Omaha Dec , in commenting upon the
two-cent faro experience In the east ,
remarks that the experiment has
brought about more riding on trains
and has made bigger gross receipts
for the railroads. It also says , "Tho
cities are gratified by a marked ten
dency of people to como In larger
numbers and greater distances to
trade. "
Here , then , Is another obstacle which
the country merchant finds In his path.
With the two-cent fare , there Is no
question but that pcoplo will travel
more to the cities to trade.
For this reason , therefore , It may
not unreasonably bo expected that the
state association of retail merchants ,
once It finds the movement started ,
will nmko an effort to defeat the law.
The merchants of Omaha and Lin
coln would profit under this plan , at
the cost of the country merchants.
Country merchants , therefore , since
the reduction would , take business from
them , will probably not support such
a law.
The proposition made to the Norfolk
Commercial club , tha't an automobile
line be established between hero and
the Junction , for the purpose of bring
ing Junction pcoplo to Norfolk , ought
to succeed. All that Is required on
the part of the city IB that a road bo
DO graveled that It could bo used In
rainy weather. This would bo n ben
efit to the whole town , and Is needed ,
anyway. The line would help the busi
ness IntorcHtH of Norfolk every day.
It would not In any way Interfere with
the hack and bus Hues , because It
would not compote with them. It
would fill u gap Unit IH now unfilled ,
and for lack of which Norfolk mer
chants are now losing trade that they
might have. It IH a plan worthy so-
rloiiH consideration , and The News
hopes that the contract may bo made
without delay.
FOR BETTER ROADS.
A movement Is started toward Im
proving at least ono of the roads load
ing out of Norfolk Into the country.
The road extending west from Nor
folk avenue Is being graded up , pre
paratory to placing of gravel. Public
subscription IB responsible for the
fund with which this work will be
done , and an effort led by some of the
farmers of that section , In co-operation
with the Norfolk Commercial club ,
brought the movement about In the
first place.
It 1ms bqon ninny "months fclnco1 that'
plan was started. Too long a time has
passed between the soliciting of funds
and the actual work. And there Is
danger that , unlesn the project Is kept
moving , improvement of a like character -
actor along other roads leading Into
the city may bo neglected.
Norfolk business Interests and the
farmers living nround Norfolk would
both benefit by such Improvements In
all directions , and U Is none too soon
to begin In other directions , now that
work has begun on the west road.
STATE CONVENTION THIS WEEK.
Republicans of Nebraska will meet
In Lincoln this week to nominate their
ticket. The convention conies on
Wednesday , and prominent members
of the party will begin to line up at
Lincoln tomorrow. It may bo consid
ered as a foregone conclusion that a
sterling ticket will bo named n ticket
which will at once command the re
spect and confidence of the state at
large , and a ticket which will win Just
as surely as the sun rises and sets.
The republican party has given Ne
braska a good administration during
the past two years. The state house
1ms been filled with men who are up
right , energetic , honorable and consci
entious. Those who are now serving
their first terms are entitled to re-
nomination. He-nomination means re
election , for the republicans can not
bo defeated this year.
Although the democratic papers
throughout the state , and some few
other papers which resent the fact
that their personal Interests were not
railroaded through , to the state's det
riment , have been trying to create pre
judice against some of the present
state officers who will be renomlnated ,
yet the state at largo , when It has
sifted the dozens of baseless charges
to the bottom , has become convinced
that the yarns are political fiction , In
vented for the sake of turning the con
vention Into prejudicial action , and a
reaction has sot In.
Despite the efforts of democratic pa
pers in the stnto to stir up friction ,
and despite the efforts of n few organs
In the state to create dissension for
selfish reasons , there Is still harmony
In the republican party of Nebraska.
The republican party In Nebraska
must work In harmony If It Is. to suc
ceed. Its state officers who have
served but ono term have been faith
ful to their trusts and to the people of
this state. They are entitled to re-
nomination because they are good
men , because their past two years' ex
perience has fitted them for better
service during the coming two years ,
and because , by the grace of an un
written law In Nebraska republican
ism , having been loyal to their trusts ,
they are entitled to another term.
A NORFOLK BEAUTIFUL.
Prizes will bo awarded In n short
time to property owners and residents
who have helped this season to make
a "Norfolk beautiful. " A good many
handsome prizes are hung up to these
who have contributed the most toward
this end. There are a good many pret
ty lawns and gardens , etc. , In the town
which deserve prizes this year , and
which will no doubt bo rewarded for
their efforts. . Many of the streets
about town are kept up In neat , trim
order , while In a few places Just ono
poorly kept place will spoil the looks
of an entire block. There Is no ex
cuse for weeds growing along the
street In a city like Norfolk. There
Is no argument for allowing them to
thrive. If each Individual would do
his share , the whole city would bo n
truly beautiful place.
There are cities which at once at
tract all visitors and which remained
fixed on the minds of all these who
have seen them , because of their uni
form beauty. First Impressions are
lasting ones. There Is no getting
around the fact that first impressions
count. And no city can afford to give
visitors bud Impressions , through care
lessness.
Norfolk is prettily situated. The
trees mnko this n naturally beautiful
spot. AJ1 that can spoil the looks of
the place Is n lack of care In the llttlo
things the streets , the curb , the
lawns.
If each resident In the city would
take a personal pride In seeing to It
that his curb was neat and frco from
weeds , his lawn well mowed and his
trees properly trimmed , this would be
a truly beautiful Norfolk.
It Is recognized on nil sides that a
hotter road Is needed between Nor
folk and the Junction. A gravel high
way which will allow hacks and other
vehicles which must mnko the trip ,
easy rolling In all kinds of weather ,
would save much expense In wear and
tear of the present cnh system , would
be a saving to the express and other
wagons that have to make the trip
dally , would benefit Norfolk people
who want to drive that way and would
be worth many dollars n month by
way of advertising the town among
strangers coming to nnd going from
the hotels.
DWYER , PLUNGER , DIED POOR.
Paporn all over the United States
yesterday carried several hundred
words about the death of Michael F.
Dwyer , ono of the noted "plungers" on
the American race tracks. The pa
pers of America carried this story at
some length because the people of
America wanted to read It. No more
space was given to the death of Lewis
Morrison , the famous and artistic act
or whose name has so long been
linked with "Mephlsto" In Fnust , than
to Dwyer. The Incident shows a trait
In America that Is wrong , and which
ought to be corrected.
Wo are all too eager to read stories
of mammoth sums of money lost nnd
won at the gambling table. The gam
bling passion breaks out so strongly
In our blood that we are ready to be
lieve preposterous yarns in regard to
winnings and losings , Just to satisfy
our craving and our imaginations. It
is an unwholesome credence.
Dwyer was a noted plunger. Ho bet
his money In great sums , and against
wonderfully short odds. At one time
he bet $ GO,000 ngalnts $10,000 that a
horse , Joe Cotton , would win a heat.
Joe Cotton came trailing down on the
stretch , with others ahead. Only by
a remarkable drive did the rider throw
Cotton Into the lend and the horse won
only by a half nose. In the end this
sort of betting ruined Dwyer. He died
poor. His winnings made him the
subject of gossip all over this country.
His plunging caught the attention of
the people generally , nnd he became
noted. *
The poverty In which Dwyer died ,
If It Is emphasized , may compensate in
part for the attention that was given
to this man's gambling career. It is
possible , and Indeed probable , that the
sums alleged to have been wagered by
him have been exaggerated. If they
were exaggerated , It was because the
public wanted exaggerated reports
about his taking risks.
And there's the mistake. To think
about noted plungers' huge winnings
has a tendency to attract many a
young man from the legltlmnte plod
ding by which he Is earning a decent
living , nnd send him to ruin at the
gnmo of chance. Life is not a gamble.
Legitimate business is not a gamble.
Brains and effort have their rewards.
And the slow plodder , who Is ambi
tious and nblo , will win In the long
run many times over the stakes gained
by one of these meteoric plungers.
Newspnpers printed Dwyer's pic
tures year In nnd year out , and set
dissatisfaction in young men's minds
over their own conditions , by painting
Dwyer's life ns nn attractive one and
nn ensy one , open to nil. The plunger
nnd gambler , In this way , is made a
hero.
But for nil his plunging nnd gaming
let us remember that Dwyer , a phys
ical wreck from the life he led , though
he neither drank nor smoked , died
penniless.
The mental strain attending his
plunging burned out the fuse In his
brain. And his recklessness in the
game strapped his purse.
Ho tried to mnko millions out of
nothing. And he hnd not a dollar at
his death. That fact , more than the
huge winnings that ho made during
his prime , should bo written Indellblj
on the young man's mind.
THE FUSIONIST PLATFORM.
From the tone of Mr. Shnllenborger's
campaign opening speech , delivered In
Norfolk this week , and from the tone
of the platform adopted by the demo
cratic congressional convention , as
well ns the populist , it is evident thn
the fuslonlsts in this district during
the coming campaign will lay more
stress upon the tariff question than
anything else excepting their anti-rail
road plank , and It Is evident , too , tha
they will advocate government owner
ship of railroads , as well ns other pub
He utilities , such as telephones , tele
graph , etc. Beside advocating tariff
reduction nnd government ownership
the fuslonlsts will appeal for votes b >
claiming credit for all of the good
things that were accomplished by the
last republican congress under the dl
rcctlon of President Roosevelt.
Mr. Shnllcnbergor , In his Norfolk
speech , declared that he had voted fern
n resolution fnvnrlng government own
ership of rnllronds , and declared , too ,
that the protective tariff must go.
The congressional platform upon which
Judge Graves is running ileclnrcfl pro
tective tariff to he n form of legalized
theft. That platform also says , "In
the record of the last national con
gress wo find no act worthy the com
mendation of American people save
such legislation ns wns In harmony
with the demand of n national democ
racy during recent years , nnd wo point
to the fnct that In every good work In
congress the wny wns not only blnzed
by democratic platforms but the work
wns performed by democratic leaders. "
And Mr. McICIllIp , In his speech before
the convention , declared that Mr. Bry-
nfi tins been the dominating character
In American politics for some years
past.
past.Those
Those are the real planks In the
democratic platform.
The populist congressional conven
tion , held hero , Inserted a clause to
the effect that , , "since most political
platforms are alike now , It Is only a
question of the best mnn. " Yet the
) opullsts dcclnro for destroying the
irotcctlvo tariff nnd placing public
itllltlcs In the hands of the govern
ment. Surely , there Is still a differ
ence In party plntforms.
Getting down to the meat of the
various plntforms , therefore , we have
his difference : The republlcnn party
tnnds todny , ns It hns nlways stood ,
or the protective tariff where It is
iceded to promote American Industry
nnd to provide employment for Amor-
can labor ; and the republican pnrty
Iocs not take seriously the planks de
claring for government ownership of
public utilities , for the reason thnt the
plnn Is not considered prnctlcnl in this
country.
It is useless for fuslonists to nttempt
o credit Mr. Bryan or the democratic
pnrty with the work of the Inst con
gress , which wna accomplished by re
publicans > nndunder the influence of
none other than President Roosevelt.
And , considering the democratic attnck
on the tariff In this district , the recent
otter of Mr. Roosevelt is of unusual
nterest , in which he says :
"We stand unequivocnlly for a pro-
ectlve tnrlff nnd. wo feel that the phe-
lomenal Industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lightly to
) o Jeopardized , for it would be to the
nst degree foolish- secure here and
there a small benefit nt the cost of
genernl business depression. But whenever -
over n given rate or schedule becomes
apparently disadvantageous to the na
tion because of the changes which go
on from year to yenr in our conditions
nnd whore It Is feasible to change this
rate or schedule without too much dis-
ocatlon of the system , It will be done ,
while a general revision of the rates
and schedules will be undertaken
whenever It shall appear to the sober
justness sense of our people that on
: ho whole the benefits to be derived
from making such changes will out
weigh the disadvantage ; thnt is , when
: he revision will do more good than
liarm.
"Let me add ono word of caution
liowevor. The question of revising the
tariff , however , stands apart from the
question of dealing with the so-caller
trusts that Is with the control of
monopolies nnd with the supervision
of great wealth In business , especially
In corporate form.
"The only wny In which it Is possl
ble to deal with those trusts and mo
nopolles and this great corporate
wealth Is by action along the line of
the laws enacted by the present con
jress nnd Its Immediate predecessors
The cry thnt the problem can be met
Sy any chnnges In the tariff represents
whether consciously or unconsciously
an effort to divert the public's atten
tlon from the only method of tnklng
effective notion.
"To chnnge the leadership and orga
nlzatlon of the house at this time
means to bring confusion upon those
who have successfully engnged in the
steady working out of a great ant
comprehensive scheme for the better
ment of our socinl nnd civic condi
tlons. " was one of the striking para
graphs of the document. "
