It was Intimated by domocrata of

"In a hard place. " It waa hlntod that

Mr. MatthoHon , nominated by dome
crata of the Eleventh senator ! " ! dls-
trlct after the party had fulled In Its
nttemptH to thrust the nomination on
Wayne county , admitted that ho can
not ho elected. It Is not every man
who will take a , nomination when ho
knows defeat starea him In tlio face ,
tint this IH a republican year In No
biaska and , besides , Mr. Hnndnll is
a candidate who would win In spite
of a handicap. Mr. Matthoson must
bo given credit for acknowledging
Hint he can not bo elected.
No more aggressive and progressive

BO well that the people of this county
are wishing ho would remain on the

probing Into complaints filed with th
grand Jury. The complaints charge
manslaughter among lUtondanta at
the "Norfolk Insane liospltnl. Tuo Jury
will probably bring In no true bills ae
n result of the evidence which promises
to bo Introduced , but County Attorney
Koenlgsteln , It must bo conceded , has
given the complainants every chance
to make good tholr charges. Ho has
shown this same spirit of willingness
to Investigate any alleged crime , and
to protect any citizen of the county-
ever since bo was first elected to of
flco. Ho has served hut one term , and
ho Is entitled to another ou the
strength of his record.
The address of Mr. Shaw may betaken
taken as the administration's reply to
the government ownership Idea pro
pounded hy Mr. Bryan. Mr. Shaw
points out that the Idea la un-Amorl-
can and utterly Incompatible with our
representative form of government.
Ho points out the fact that service
would become Inferior to Us present
standard , and shows how the great
political machinery would corrupt the
system. Ho makes a strong point
when ho says that , though Mr. Bryan ,
yielding to the pulse of the democratic
leaders , declares be will not Insist on
having this plank In bis platform , yet
he will unquestionably talk the scheme
and net upon It after ho Is elected , If
given tlio presidency.
HEARST IS UNRELIABLE.
William Randolph Hearst hns the
presidential bee buzzing In bis hat. He
would have the people of this country
believe him to bo n philanthropist. His
stock lias been ascending down in
New York , both in city and In state.
A little while ago ho was considered
dangerous to other people's presiden
tial ambition. But Mr. Hearst does
not ring true.
William Randolph Hearst owns a
number of newspapers in this country.
In New York he has the American.
After the Brynn reception , hla newspaper -
paper came out- with this paragraph
In big typo :
"W. R. Hearst arrived while Chair
man Tom L. Johnson was addressing
the meeting. A ringing cheer followed
the recognition , and tlio next Instant
the entire audience arose , and , waving
flags and hats , gave Mr. Hearst a
hearty recaption , which lasted two
mlnutoH. "
Hut the "wld ) cheering" IH not ac
counted for by other papers , One , for
Instance , which IH considered reliable ,
said :
"While Mr. Johnson wan npeaklng ,
thorn waa a muldoii stir nt the other
sldo of the auditorium , right opposite
the platform. A llttlo group of men
and women wore seen to make their
way to 0110 of the IIOXOH on the lowest
tier. In a moment the whole audience
WIIH Htandlng up , craning tholr nooks
and staring In that direction. There
WIIH no outburst of apphum or of
clu'orlng , hut through the place passed
0110 of those peculiar qulvorH , eloquent
of some Rtlrrod passion , And from lip
to Up passed a single word. "HeaVHt. "
The sensational report In Mr.
HrnrBt's paper concerning this meet
ing Is In line with his other newspaper
work. Mr. Hearst playn only to the
gallery In Journalism , and puhllshoH
only the rnnkcHt rot at that. U Is not
unfair to Judge Mr. Hoarat by the
style of nowapaporH that ho runs , and
thlH evident misrepresentation may betaken
taken ns a pretty clear example of the
nort of man ho la. Surely such u man
la not lit to ho. or oven to aspire to bo
president of the United States.
The city superintendent and county
superintendent of schools ut Fremont
and In Dodge county , have expressed
themselves na passively In favor of
the now reform spelling , and have
announced that teachers under them
can Instruct in either system they
choose. Each tcnchor IH permitted to
teach whatever method of spelling bo
may select. Could one Imagine more
of a tangle ? With half the children
of n family spelling on way , and half
the other , a dignified result may ho
looked for. President Roosevelt is
bolng blamed by many prominent men
of the country for assuming authority
to change the English language or for
changing the style of spoiling used In
the government records , oven for two
years. It Is pointed out'that ' ho has
not the moral right to thus alter the
olllclal records of the government. It
la also said now that the reform
spelling is not legal , because congress
years ago adopted Wcbator'H diction
ary as the standard for spelling In this
country. "Punch , " the English paper ,
cartoons Mr. Roosevelt as chopping
down the tree of English Innguagc.
The English speaking world Is repre
sented as asking who tried to chop
down that tree. Toddy says ho did
It with bis "lltl ax. " "Well , boys will
bo boys , " answers the English speak
ing world.
MARKET DAY FOR NORFOLK.
The bargain day , or market day , sug
gested In these columns repeatedly as
a practicable and beneficial Idea to
bo worked out in Norfolk , 1ms becu
successfully maintained once a week
at Watortown , Wls. , for many yeais.
The Gorinnus of that community are
highly enthusiastic in their suppoit
of the plan , as la1 shown by the fact
that every Tuesday finds hundreds of
them In town with hundreds of vnrioiu
o'dda and ends to "swap" with tholr
neighbors.
The market day could bo developed
once a week In Norfolk , with Just na
much success , and It would prove a
bonollt to the merchants and business
men of the city as well 'as to tlio
farmers and the people living in torrl
tory surrounding Norfolk.
Whether it were once a week or
once a month , the same plan could hi-
put Into effect. Excursion rates could
bo secured on all railroads for the
purpose of bringing people into tin
city ; merchants of the city could glvo
bargains In various lines on that day
as attractions to the mercantile estab
llshmenta of the city ; and the people
from a vast territory could bring In
on those days , all of the old articles
which they wanted to trade off , \\ltl
the result that many n-satisfactory ex
change would be made. The daj
would prove popular to. hundreds of
people who would como to Norfolk
Special amusements , n band concert
a street show , or something of that
sort , could bo worked in well as ai
n-ldod means of entertaining and amus
Ing the visitors.
It Is believed that the merchants
nnd business men of Norfolk vouh
bo glad to support such a plan to
co-operate in making It u success
Organized effort would bo needed , o
course , to direct it and get It going
Organization is to bo found in the
Commercial club , which was formei
for tlio purpose of promoting Just sucl
plans as these , and carrying then
through.
The Commercial club has no secre
tary at the present time , nnd it will b
necessary to elect one before anythln
nt nil can bo accomplished by th
organization.
To develop this plan would , it 1
generally conceded , bo a help to Nor
folk.
It Is a plan that can bo develope
without the expenditure of largo funds
Market day la a winner in othe
places. It can bo nmdo a winner i
Norfolk.
It only remains to set the dates an
arrange the details. *
BACK TO THE HANDS.
There is too much of a tendenc
among young men of today to shirkth ,
trades. Perhaps times are too pros
oroua and they are not compelled to
earn to work at n trade. In the
nod old days , everybody learned
onio sort of n trade , and a trade
over handicapped anybody. Over In
ormany the boys work for years at
n apprenticeship without pay , while
uro condltlotiH nro more favorable to
lem. The work of the tradesman Is ,
t Is true , being supplanted largely
y machinery , hut there is still ample
eod of young men In all lines < ) f
oiiHtriictlvo Industry and It would
vcn thlngH up U more of them would
tick to a roputttblo trade and follow
t up.
There IH too much of a tendency
mong young men of today to wear
lilto collars nt tholr work and nobby
ults of clothes , with fancy vesta ,
'hero Is too much of a tendency
mong the young men of today , Just
rowing Into their nmjorlty , to pro-
orvo pretty white hands with well
ollshcd nails , and to run and hldo
rom work that la manual or , for the
mtter of tlmt , from work that Is
'
ork.
*
The young man of today seems to
ave an Idea that Ufa is easy nnd
mt making a living la no problem
t all. With him It is only a question
f how many mlllloiiH ho shall pile
p when once ho gotH out of college ,
ml all of that aa a reward for his
rains ,
The young man of the present day
Inccroly bollovea that ho can leave
It where his father began , making
la start at the bookkeeper's desk of
n Industrial plant , nnd , bossing the
oh , far Hurpass the success that was
Unified by his hnrdworklng parent.
Education Is all right enough , but
ducatlon should educate for some
ellnlto purpose nnd not merely for
10 sake of n diploma nnd several
ears of slang. And , after all , If It
mat bo a choice between learning
o work at a trade which will glvo
ho youth some idea of constructive
roccssea juul which will glvo him an
asct upon which ho may always fall
back for his living , nnd learning to
road Latin and to dance well , the
rade , as , a concrete , tangible , serious
imlness , should hnvo the preference.
There is too much of spending the
bird of ono's llfo nt books nnd foot-
jail these days , with a study of which
olor of neckties should bo worn , as
ho summer's occupation ; and then
coming out of college without knowing
ho first rudiments of making a llv-
ng ; without the slightest particle of
cnowlcdgo of how to do anything of
nctunl value on earth.
The young man of today seems to
hlnk keeping In touch with the foot
ball scores , "jollying" the girls , wear-
ng dress suits to the dances , smoking
'bulldog" pipes , talking about fra-
ornity pins , nnd incldontnlly select-
ng enough "snapa" In the college
course to slide through without much
actual study , for four years , ought to
glvo him n place In the world along
side the men who have been devoting
years and years to learning the details
of a trade-Industry which is just as
deep and Just as complicated as a
game of football over dared to bo.
Many a young man comes out of col-
ego In n pair of balloon ahnpcd
trousers , all ready to lift the world's
nmlens , but as helpless , so far as
laving any practical ideas or any
skill with his hands , ns a babe In the
cradle. It Is argued that they are bet
tor prepared to learn then the way
of practical work , but the argument
lees not always work out In practice
) ecauso these young men insist on
superintending things , without know-
tig the elementary details that must
> o known to a superintendent.
Higher education , taken with a
definite object in view , Is n handj
thing with which to complete the edit
cation of the hands. But the people
who really make the wheels of the
world go around are the people who
know the details of some Industrie
trade and who can , with their hands
build nnd make the things that society
needs.
Education must have a plnco In
rounding out the minds of growing
men and In enlarging their spheres
but , nftor all , for the fundnmentn
educntion nnd the fundamental powe
to earn a living , in case of any emergency
goncy , wo must go back to the hands
The bakery Industry In Norfolk
nnd , by the wny , that Is an Importan
factor of the city's upbuilding couh
increase its output of loaves will
which to feed northern Nebraska nnt
southern South Dakota , if more baker
could bo secured. This shortage o
bakers all over the country is one o
the drawbacks to the Industry righ
now and the shortage is due to an
apparently ungrounded cause. It i
said that young men are not anxlou
to learn the baiter's trade because I
savors of the kitchen , and becaus
it is not a good clothes job. But fo
nil that , young men who are startln
out and want to learn some trad
which will mnko them a good llvin
and something besides , would do we !
to investigate the bakery business.
In Chicago the other day a youn
man surprised his friends by stnrtin
into n big bakery as greaser of pans
just after u/3 / had graduated from Har
Vafd university. He was determine
to learn the whole business , from the
cry foundation. And ho will , it Is
redlctcd by bakers , make a fortune
t the Industry.
Any young man could go into n
Norfolk bakery , Icaru the business
ml , in a short tlmo , beconio com-
utcnt to establish a small bakery In
small town , where he could make
2,000 or $3,000 per year.
There is nothing repulsive about the
nkory business. It la hard work , but
t Is ficlontlflc work. It requires Judg-
lent nnd Intelligence.
Many a young man who Is undo-
Idcd today ua to what ho shall do ,
vould be wise to take an apprentice-
hip In a Norfolk bakery.
THE RESPONSIBILITY.
"John Friday was Just UH bad a
myor last April ns ho Is today. Bill
Jochcr waa just na bad a policeman
aat April aa ho IH today. The News
ml the men who fraternize with it
now thin , yet that paper helped to
icrpctuate these two men in olllco
or the purely solllHh reason that the
opubllcan candidate for mayor had
md the tcrmlly to stand up against
inking a gift of one of the principal
treots of Norfolk to the Northwestern
allwny. "
"Three-fourths of the people of this
onimunlty belong to the churches nnd
inko a profession of religion. No
ity administration can bo elected by
B largo a majority aa the present ono
van unless a largo percentage of the
ollglous people voted for it. "
The foregoing arguments nro used
o show tlmt the responsibility for
lie double murder which took place
n the city Monday night , Is traceable
o church people and The News
lie Christians and the newspaper be-
ng Joint partners in sin , ns It were ,
ospnnslblo for the election of Mayor
i'rlday nnd through him responsible
or the trngedy.
As a matter of fact the gentleman
vho makes these statements la so
ircjudlced that ho has failed to look
ip tlio truth of his assertions. So
ar as The News Is concerned It Is
able to contradict each and every nl-
egatlon made. Not only did The
News oppose the re-election of Mayor
Friday , hut its editor voted for his
opponent , U. A. Pasewalk , the repub-
lean nominee. It Is not a dlfllcult
natter to prove that The News sup-
> orted the republican ticket at the
city election last , spting , as reprints
rom Issues published during the cam
paign will show.
On March 30 , ' the Saturday before
election , the following appeared in
heso columns :
"Next Tuesday will be election day
n Norfolk. There will be three sep
arate elections , the city ticket , the
members of the board of education
and the sewerage bonds. The city
.Icket and the board of education will
jo elected along party lines. This
rear but two tickets In each case have
icon put up , where there were three
ast year. The republican party is
entitled to the election In Norfolk this
year for many reasons. In the first
ilace the republican ticket is coin-
losod of clean , honest , honorable busl-
icss men who are respected in the
community and who will make good
olllcials for this municipality. The
republicans , when they have been in
ofllce before , have given creditable ad
ministrations for Norfolk. This fact
: an not bo denied. As much can not
je said for all of the democratic ad-
ninistratlons. In this community.
"Tho men who are making the re-
inbllcan race this year are conserva-
ivo , upright and reliable. The city
tnows that their election will mean
good government , conducted alone ; lib-
jral lines , and In accordance with the
aws of the state and town. People of
Norfolk well' know that If the repub-
lean ticket is elected as it stands to
day , there will be no need for blush-
ng at conditions which exist In the
city.
"As officials of our city , we want
men whom we can not only place con
fidence in but whom wo can also re
spect. And men of this type have
been nominated by the republican par
ty to stand for election next Tuesday
"There are no vital Issues at stake
us there are in some elections. It IB
largely a matter of men. But the re
publicans are willing to go on recorc
in predicting that If their ticket if
elected , the administration will stnm
for advancement , progress , civic prldo
and for all things that have to do wltl
the welfare of Norfolk.
"Tho following ticket has been
placed In the Held by the republlcai
party :
"For mayor , Herman A. Pasowalk
"For city clerk , Julius Hulff.
"For city treasurer , E. J. Schor
regge.
"For city engineer , W. II. Salmon
"For members board of education
W. H. Johnson and W. H. Bridge.
"For city council : First ward , C. C
Gow ; Second ward , Dan Craven
Third ward , Gay Halverstein. "
On the day before election , the
following Items , among others , were
published in the editorial column :
"Tho republican ticket Is made n\ \
of clean men. Republicanism mean
progress and advancement. "
"Tho police department during the
last year has not set the world afire
by Its activity. This will have some
influence in tomorrow's election. "
"A vote for the republican ticket to
morrow will bo a vote for n police department
partment that will have the courage
to do its duty , nnd not ono that wll
wink at crime and vice In the vorj
heart of the city. "
"Norfolk has been a quiet city dur
ing the past year , so far as the polic
court records are concerned. Judg
Westervelt , who is the democratic po
lice judge , told of some things Urn
have been going on when ho took oc
caslon to address a peculiarly ol
noxious character in public some 111
tie time ago. A vote for the demo
cratlc ticket tomorrow means n vote
for n police force that has acted a
officer , judge nnd jury all in the snme
breath. "
"This does not look-'much like sup
wrtlng thi democratic city ticket ,
OCH It ? Again , If The News had sup-
) ortcd the democratic administration ,
oes It stand to reason that the mayor
vould have been a party to cancelling
n agreement tlmt had ik on In force
n thla city for years on the matter
f city printing , cutting out one of the
jortlons that had been coming to The
S'OWH so that KB republican-democratic
ontomporary might have more ?
Let us analyze the vote of the last
Ity election n little nnd see If the
natter of the street closing had per-
optlhle Influence on the result , There
H no mentiH of determining the nor-
mil party vote of the various wards
f the city last spring. PerhapH the
lenrost approach to party strength
vna shown In the vote on city treas-
irer , an ofllco upon which the street
imposition could not possibly have
icon made nn Issue. In the First
vard , Friday received ! )0 ) votes , Pnsd-
7 , wlille on treasurer , Han so , demo-
rnf , received 94 votes , four more
linn Friday , nnd Scliorreggo received
1 votes , six less than Pasowalk. In
ho Second ward , Schorrogge received
37 , Pnsewalk 138 , one more than his
Icket. In the Third ward , Schorregge
ecelved 89 , Pasewalk 101 , running
welvo ahead of his normal strength ,
n the Fourth ward , Schorregge re-
elvcd 30 , Pasewalk 3G , again being
ahead six votes. Pasewalk's total
vote was 3G2 , while that of Schorreg-
go waa 337.
To nnnlyxe the vote in another man-
icr : In the First ward , Gow , repub-
lean , for councilman , known to be
n favor of street closing , received
8-1 votes , whtlo Pasowalk , known to
> e against the proposition , received
87. In the Second ward , Craven , re-
mbllcan , for councilman , ran away
ihead of his ticket , but It was not on
he Issue of street closing , for the
eason that Cntvon and his opponent
vero both figured In favor of the
measure. In the Third ward , Halver
stein , republican nominee for the
council , known to be In favor of the
lepot proposition , received 97 votes ,
vhlle Pasewalk received 101 votes.
n the Fourth ward no comparisons
can be made with the vote on coun
cilman , for the reason that the repub-
leans had no candidate for that of
fice. Thus It will be seen that Pase-
valk received In each of the wards
more votes than either of his repub-
lean colleagues , except In the Second
lie candidate for councilman ran
ahead of him. The votes In this ward
night at first blush be considered as
> parlng out the theory that the street
closing proposition cut some figure ,
mt when it Is remembered tlmt both
candidates for councilmen were in
favor of closing the street , some other
cause for the result In this ward must
> o sought.
The shameful Inslnuntion that the
ellgious people of Norfolk are hypo-
crlts and not sincere in the religion
which "they profess , " and the unjust
attempt to create an Impression that
religious people of the city are
morally responsible for .the duel of
Monday night , Is as malicious a false-
iiood as is the statement that Pase
walk was sacrificed by republicans
because of the depot question. The
election last spring did not hinge on
religion , but upon party politics and
no one hns the temdrlty to claim that
nil church members are republicans ,
though it Is admitted they ought to
be.
The facts about the election last
spring are that It was n democratic
time In Norfolk , nnd the republicans
were simply out numbered. The ad
ministration of Mayor Friday hac
been good from a business and civic
standpoint , It was at the end of his
first term , and there was no reason
on the surface why democrats shouk
not support their candidate. The moral
phase of the question did not enter
largely into the campaign , because
Friday was not so well known then
ns now , neither did the depot question
cut any flgurr , as is shown by the colt
facts produced by the returns.

The political side of a newspaper is
i strange combination. When its-
party candidate Is elected , It Is be
cause he is poplar with the people ;
vhen he Is defeated the newspaper is
ilamed on the ground that if it had

mvo been elected. The newspaper re
ceives no credit If It wins , but Is
ibundantly blamed If Its loses.
The man who sold his Influence to

has surrounded himself with demo

denticnl with those democrats , who Is
an ardent admirer and liberally quotes

now giving one lota of support to the
republican candidates , is hardly in po
