The civic Iniprovoniont commlttoo

Great Hrltaln has Just Bent over to
this country an olllclal to look after
tlio packing houses and to make a re
port. In his report ho Hays that the
conditions around the packing houses
In America nro unsanitary. All of
which brings back to mind the con
dition of some of the English packing
houses and sansago factories , as re
ported some months ago. Wouldn't It
bo well for Mr. J. Hull to clean up his
own yard before paying such particu
lar attention to America.
There Is no absolute democracy.
The democratic party tnlha about be
ing democratic , but It Is not. What
kind of democracy Is It when the
leader of that party will accept an In
vitation to dine with an Illinois
brother .and will , nt the banquet table ,
say to his host : "You are not as good
ns I am. Either yon will have to got
out of his party , or 1 will. I can't stand
for you. " Is that the sort of demo
cracy wo rend about ? Is that the
proper sort of brotherly love ?
Mr. Roosevelt says that tlio race for
wealth should not ho discouraged , but
that thought of the soul should bo
given first place over thoughts of gold ,
lie says that religion and clean living
will In time do much for the welfare
of the nation. This Is in line with n
sermon preached In Norfolk the other
day in which it was pointed out that
all of these questions about the his
torlcal value of religious accounts ,
are immateilnl and that it is the
right living taught by religion which
actually counts. "Temptation" has
been taken as the topic for a series of
meetings In a Norfolk church , because
of the leccnt bank wrecks. More medi
tation In regard to the right living ,
will unquestionably do much to uplift
the standards of any nation , and less
criticism of the evidence to support
accounts ot miracles , together with
more attention to the right living
taught by religion , would undoubtedly ,
as the president suggests , do much
toward the welfare of this government.
CRIMINALS CANNOT ESCAPE.
The capture of Hanker Stenslaud of
Chicago , after ho had Hod to Morocco ,
nn out of the way country , have
once more demonstrated the futility of
trying to escape from the law and Its
olllcers under moder conditions. There
was a time , before the telegraph and
the cable and the steam transportation
facilities , when escape for the criminal
was comparatively an easy matter ,
and the western frontier In the early
days was filled with men who had fled
from their crimes and who were never
caught Hut times have changed , and
it Is no longer an easy thing to getaway
away from the In-w. It has been demon
strated over and over again , and the
case of Stonsland has only emphasized
the matter.
Stensland was a man of means , with
polish and wits. Ho had every chance
In the world to get away from the
police. Hut ho was trailed and caught
within a month. Now he Is to bo
brought back for trial , oven though
be has to bo Illegally kidnapped In
order to bo returned , and ho will stand
trial for his offense , with a penitentiary
sentence to follow.
Pat Cro\\o , hunted for years , was
finally apprehended , even though
Omaha courts did murder justice In
letting him go. McGreovy of O'Neill
was captured In a few days and oven
Hagerty has been located , though not
brought back. The man who murdered
a Madison barber ono Fourth of July
was found , by means of a sweetheart
down In Arizona , and rather than be
brought back he suicided. Forgot
Wynn , In Jail at Madison for a crime
in Norfolk , escaped and was caught
in Chicago , though his features were
completely changed , within forty days
The world today , with wires con *
nectlng every nook and corner and
with steam engines to carry pursuing
parties with remarkable speed , has
become too small for any escaped
ide
criminals , the old gangs of horse
thieves are balng broken up , and prison
cells nro claiming the lawbreakers who
once were fugitives In unknown hinds.
It Is no longer possible to commit
a crime and got nwny , HO that the
only way to keep out of Jail under
modern conditions Is not to break thn
law.
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
The recommendations made by the
Norfolk civic Iniprovoniont committee ,
In awarding ptlsecs for the best lookIng -
Ing IIOIIIOH in town this year , are worth
the serious consideration of the people -
plo of Norfolk. Unclean and unsani
tary alloys and weeds along the park
ings of InwnH nnd In the streets and
In vacant lots , are given attention by
the committee , and It Is recommended
by them that more boys follow the
example sot , of taking euro of a gar
den.
There can bo no question about the
unsanitary alloys. Alloys which arc
untidy have a had appearance nnd a
bad effect. Garbage barrels In the
alloys , loft to breed germs of disease ,
are unwholesome and unhoallhful.
Weeds In vacant lots ought to bo
cut and an ordinance compelling prop
erly owners to cut these weeds during
the four growing months of the year ,
would do much toward bettering the
appearance of the city and would do
nway with nn unsanitary condition.
This ordinance Is recommended by the
committee.
The committee found many ragged
edges along the curbs of lawns. The
grass Inside the walk would bo nicely
mowed , but ( lit1 jmiklng outside would
ho allowed to glow up Into weeds or
ragged with Brass , and the effect look
ed like a boy with hair that alwayn
needed trimming.
The efforlH of the civic Improve-
inont committee are most commend
able and have no doubt done much
good for Norfolk during the season
that has juat passed. More pro
nounced Improvement could bo made
by following out some of the sugges
tions that have been made.
THE CROWD.
Two old soldiers of northern Ne
braska have lain down their arms and
quit life's battle within a month ns
a direct result of exhaustion duo to the
strain accompanying the trip to the
national 0 , A. R. encampment. Al
most a dozen deaths occurred In Min
neapolis whllo the reunion was being
hold , ns a result of prostrate veterans
who had overtaxed their hearts In
making long Journeys to the city erIn
In the parades about town. Some who
attended have returned to tholr homes
feeling well , no doubt , but It seems
a useless sacrifice that was made for
the sake of the crowds , Just as It
seems a useless sacrifice of energy
to attend many of the great multitu
dinous gatherings tjiat are arranged all
over this country for ono reason and
another.
Last week thousands and thousands
of Nobrasknns attended the state fair
down at Lincoln. The city was so
badly crowded that beds wore nlmosi
Impossible to get and those that were
procured were charged for at oxhorbl
taut rates. The crowds were so dense
on the fair grounds that nobody had
chance to see a great deal and the
thousands returned to their homos n
the end of the week , exhausted h
energy , tholr nerves undone and will
more or less of their money spent.
It seems to bo a trait of the human
being to seek the crowd , no matte
where. A street quarrel , the Instnn
It attracts a few , becomes the cento
of a vast mob , surging and fighting to
got at the heart of action and attractei
purely by the mania for getting Into
a crowd.
A few years ago more than 100,00
persons passed through Norfolk to
Hones tool most of whom wen
simply to see the crowd. Some o
them registered for land , but a ma
jorlty of them merely had a doslro t
see how the gang behaved and , bavin
satisfied that desire , turned around ant
came back.
Many deaths result each year , n
doubt , from the exhaustion duo t
crowds. And , when the situation 1
regarded calmly , there seems llttl
to compensate for the hard work o
existing In a throng. There Is excitement
mont , born of the multitude , whlc
stimulates and keeps things Intores
Ing whllo the mob Is surging back am
forth , but after the day Is done
there Is a fagged out fooling which
showing the energy lost , pays for the
nervous tension.
Why Is It that people will sacrifice
their strength for the mere privilege
of being jammed around In a crowded
street or city ? Why does the moth
seek the llamo ? It is human nature
but It is n trait of human nature which
costs dearly In energy nnd nerve force
, and for which little , excepting the
momentary stimulant , is given In re
turn.
IS BRYAN AFTER TOQA ?
Does Mr. Hryan want to be elected
. , United States senator from Nebrskn
nnext winter ? Is It possible that the
peerless leader has designs on 10'
coming legislature , and that as a matter
tor of preliminary advertising , he
has allowed this so-called presidential
I boom to be launched for him at this
me ? That Is not such nn Improb-
bio thing.
While In England , Mr. Bryan dcclar-
1 that ho did not want lo announce
IniHi'H as a presidential candidate
OHbocatiHO It would require him to
It on a stool and look pretty for too
> ng a tlmo. And yet ho allowed
omocrats to tender fo him national
'clcomo on the occasion of his
ome-comlng , which was taken by
ils country ns nothing more or less
tan a presidential boom. Sound
otlllcnl sense told Mr. Urynn that
t was too far nhcad of the presldon-
nl convention , and yet ho allowed
, to bo done.
Nebraska this year elects a United
tales senator. An effort Is being
Larted now to carry the state for
ryan's sake , In order that It may
Ivo him hacking In the presidential
onvontlon. Hut , If ho carries No-
raska this year , there will bo n
omocratlc legislature. And , If there
s a democratic legislature , what more
kely than that Mr. Bryan should sue-
umb to life demand of his friends ,
nd accept the toga ? With that , It
ould bo all the easier to pave the
ay to the white house , provided ho
alked In silence.
The only other explanation of this
onzled boom for the peerless leader
s to be found In Roger Sullivan's let-
or when he says that Mr. Bryan Is In
olltlcs for advertising , knowing that
o can nol bo elected president , and
hat ho will got Into some other form
f advertising just as soon as some-
ilng else turns up which will give
Im bigger receipts at the box olllce.
Mr. Sullivan's letter to Mr. Bryan ,
y the way , Is about the hardest Jolt
lie Ncbrashan has received , and he
s still groggy from Its effects. "That
Ind of a reply could bo expected
rom that kind of people , " says Mr.
! ryan , but ho has not yet had time
o gather his thoughts together In an
nswer to the charges of Sullivan.
Sullivan says that Mr. Bryan would
10 dictator of the democratic party ,
ml that such a thing Is undemocratic ,
lo says that ho will submit his post-
Ion as national commlttccman to n
.ote of the convention which elected
ihn and will resign If the votes nro
gainst him now , provided Mr. Bryan
vlll quit running for president If
ulllvan is sustained. Mr. Sullivan
mints out the fact that Bryan lias
wlco carried his party to defeat ,
ihowlng that the public confidence In
Aryan's sincerity is not such a valu
ible asset , after all. Mr. Sullivan
says that Mr. Bryan is merely In the
ittino for the purpose of getting rich ,
leclares ho Is now rich and that hems
ms never made a dollar outside ol
lolltlcs.
Mr. Sullivan is a prominent and
) o\verful democrat inIllinois. . Mr
Bryan's attack upon Sullivan can
mrdly be accounted for except as a
; > lay for the limelight. His persona
nttnck on Sullivan at the Chicago
banquet , right In the face of the man
ind whllo the democrats of that state
who are friends of Sullivan , were din
Ing the peerless leader , was hardly less
than rude.
Since ho has endangered his presl
dcntlal chances by springing the
liooni too soon for practical use , bj
throwing a government ownership
liombshcll Into his party's camp , am
by attempting to .road out of his pnrt >
prominent democrats , may It not be
presumed that the aim of the Llncoli
democratic czar Is the United States
scnatorship from Nebraska this com
ing winter ?
LET POLICEMAN UECIIER MOVE
ON.
Why not dispense with the formality
of a police force In Norfolk , and save
the city something like $2,000 per
year ? A police force Is a capital idea
when you get some sort of service ,
but when the system becomes such a
farce that two men could bo hilled In
the very heart of the business section
of Norfolk as the result of a fearful
duel , and under the very eyes of the
mayor of the city and of a policeman ,
It begins to look as If there were some
thing rotten In Denmark.
If Nlghtwatchman Uecher had been
anything of a police olllcor , the trag
edy which occurred Monday night and
which has brought grief to homes and
undesirable fame to the city , would
never have happened.
Not long ago Policeman Uocher
marched boldly Into n place on Main
, street and demanded that singing bo
ended. Monday night , after the fatal
bullets had been fired within his hear
ing , O Ulcer Uechor courageously
marched through the crowd that had
gathered and ordered people to move
on. That was the kind of pluck people
, like to see In a policeman. The crowd
resented the action , replied by asking
, Policeman Uechor why ho was so late ;
In trying to preserve order , nnd told
him to move on , himself , Ono business
man reprimanded him for not
having prevented the shooting , and the
bravo olllcor , pushing the business
Mian away , told him with an oath that
i "If you don't shut up I'll throw you
In. " There's whore that policeman's
10'star ' shone bright , alright.
t-1 Turning back a few pages in Nor-
folk's history , wo find In not far nwny
times that this gallant preserver of
law and order now and again locked
men In jail during the night time nnd
then , tuinlng judge nnd jury In the
ftnmo night , unlocked the prison gates
again nnd allowed the criminal to
march forth , free and acquitted. Wo
find Hint on ono occasion ho even paid
the faro of a woman whom he hold as
prisoner , and whom ho released be
cause ho the policeman decided
Hint II would bo too bad to spoil her
fair name.
A few months ago the town was
Hooded with tramps and thugs. And
they stayed hero just ns long ns they
chose , unmolested by the police and
oven playing tag with the law.
The coroner's Jury held to Investi
gate the tragedy of Monday night hold
the wrong man hlamnhlc. That ver
dict should have held Policeman
Uechor responsible for that shooting
and going further , should have held
fundamentally responsible the city of-
llclal who has Indicted that Uecher
upon this community as an o Ulcer and
who failed to demand that Uecher in
terfere with the brewing trouble and
make arrests that would stop the
shooting- .
In public view did the man who was
killed on the spot , hold out his loaded
revolver and threaten to murder.
There was ample time after that for
the policeman , If ho had been a police
man , to have quelled the disturbance.
He was on the scene , and knew all
about what was going to happen.
Election in Norfolk two years ago
turned on the police force as a hinge.
\ line and cry was raised against
the force then in , and cruelty In en
forcing the laws was charged. Verily ,
there Is no cruelty In enforcing the
laws today In Norfolk.
Past policemen may have been rigid
In Norfolk , but never In all the history
of the city was there such a bloody
violation of law and order , or such a
responsibility for the taking of human
life laid at the'door of an officer of
the law , as the duel of this week.
Why not let Policeman Uecher
move on ! Why not save his salary
to the city , or get n real policeman ?
NORFOLK WANTS A NEW DEAL.
Although ho claims to have been
at the Junction just before the shoot
Ing , Chief Hay must have known of
the quarreling leading up to it Mon <
day afternoon.
With the mayor of the city in form
ed that trouble of a serious nature
was brewing and requested to stop
It ; with one of the fighters trying to
procure' from the mayor , himself , a
gun with which to shoot ; 'with the
chief of police and the nlghtwatchman
around inoar the saloon during the
afternoon where the tragedy was fore
told by bitter words and a gun play
for some time before the actual shoot
Ing and with the mayor , himself , sit
ling in the saloon during the after
noou and hearing the threats tha
were being made ; with the only an
thorlties in the city who could stoi :
the trouble , in such Intimate toucl
with the situation , it seems nothing
short of shameful that the quarrel o
Monday night , which has already re
suited in the deaths of two men
should over have occurred.
Mayor Friday was in the salooi
while fierce words were being spoker
between those two foes , he knew tha
Dugan was hunting a gun and he
was begged by a business man to
send in bis police to interfere.
Chief of Police Hay was around 1
town during the afternoon , and he
ought to have known of the trouble
that was brewing.
Nlglitwntchman Uechor was near
the saloon and he knew of the
trouble.
Yet those two men were allowed to
walk back and forth on Norfolk ave
nue , hunting guns and then hunting
each other , without so much as a
word being spoken to them by either
the mayor or the policemen.
There can be no excuse for such
negligence. Norfolk has had enough
of such protection. Lives of citizens
arc evidently Immaterial to these
authorities , as long as they can hold
their Jobs , draw city pay and play
cards.
It Is tlmo for n new deal In Norfolk.
MAYOR FRIDAY'S ADMINISTRA
TION.
Mayor Friday's friends claim that
he ought not to bo criticised for bis
failure to Interfere and stop trouble
the other night , because of his good
record in the mayor's office. Mayor ,
Friday should be given duo credit for
all that he has done as the city's chief
executive , for ho has done much In
the way of civic Improvement , but his
entire administration has been woe
fully weak In the police department ,
nnd It Is for the public good that such
a condition of affairs as exists In that
department of the city machinery ,
should be aired. Aside from this fea
ture , Mr. Friday has made a good
mayor. This dark spot , however , has
brought much just censure upon him.
Mayor Friday , supported by nn en
ergetic , progressive city council , has
done much to build permanent walks
In Norfolk , has built a cement gutter
on Norfolk avenue , has established a
sewer system , and has paved the way
for solving the Corporation gulch
problem. But In his police service ,
all the way through his administration ,
ho has given Norfolk no protection ,
has allowed'things to run wild and ,
In this monumental Incident of Mon
day night , failed utterly to do a pub
lic duty.
The administration should bo Riven
duo credit for nil of the good things
that It has accomplished for Norfolk.
Hut , just as It should bo given credit
for the good It has done , so also It
should bo held equally responsible for
the defects that have Injured the city
and tlio police department of Nor
folk for the past two years has cer
tainly been ns black a defect as Nor
folk has ever known.
AROUND TOWN.
Norfolk has had too many tragedies
of lato.
It ought to bo culled the Norfolk
pollco farce Instead of the Norfolk
police force.
After a man gets expert nt shaving ,
ho can cut himself In the same spot
every tlmo.
Give a cane to n baby boy learning
to walk , and ho will use It for n horse
ns Instinctively as his father uses It
In other ways.
A Norfolk girl , getting ready to re
turn to college , blistered her hands
badly yesterday afternoon , tearing up
three big bundles of old letters.
The automobile craze has gone so
far In Norfolk that they nro talking
about how fast the different machines
can run between here and Stanton.
Every homo owner In town will wonder
dor today , whether there Is a ghost
of a chance or not , If he is Included In
the prize list to bo announced by the
civic Improvement committee.
"Well , it got worse , " said the little
boy who started to school and de
clared the first day that there was
nothing to do but march. "A kid hit
me In the stomach today nnd knocked
my breath out. "
"Who Is Policeman Euchre ? " asked
a Norfolk woman , who mistook the
name for the six-hand game of cards
she has played.
"He Is the man who euchres the
town out of $50 a month , " said her
husband.
Ono Norfolk wife , trying to break
her husband of smoking , has refused
to allow him to smoke In the house.
Ho is allowed to go down cellar to
smoke , but when ho Is there a little
longer than usual his wife calls down :
"You are smoking two cigars ! "
People like to have Inside infer
mation. They like to be the first to
know things. Shortly .after the tra
gedy of Monday night , ono man on
the street accosted everybody he saw
with : "I know all about It every
thing. "
The fish that is drawn to the sur
face of the water and then lost , al
ways looks bigger than It is In mo
ments of excitement , the mind exag
goratcs. At the coroner's Inques
yesterday , the gnus used In the fleli ;
of the night before wore produced am
a witness was asked if they were
the ones used. "They look like the
ones , " ho said , "but they looked n
whole lot bigger at the time. "
And now The News Is threatenec
with another libel suit in fnct , a pal
of them. His honor , the mayor , am
his honor's hired man Ueckor , tool
inventories of themselves this morn
Ing and concluded that they lookei
about $10,000 cheaper apiece than thej
did before the shooting , whlcl
amounts The News will be asked to
contribute to these gentlemen , provlil
ed they can find a lawyer who Is will
ing to take tholr case.
