The recent an nouncement of the secretary of war that ho would accept I ho nomination IH said to have come with the presi dent's appioval , and therefore Taft IH the wblto IIOIIHO candldnto. Korakor comoH from Ohio as does Taft and Foraker's attack upon the prcHldent'H action regarding the BrowiiHvlllo matter - tor Is attributed by many to Korakor's desire to keep down the Roosevelt presidential aspirant. I'ooplo of northern Nebraska , It IH for your allllcted neighbors that an In- Hano hoHpltal Is malntalnod by Nehrns- l < a at Norfolk. Those wardH of yonrH nro now crowded Into the InHtltntlon for lack of room ; Oovornor Mickey on iv recent vlHll found sanitary conditions bad and reported deaths dno to tlio lack of needed Improvements. Super intendent Young recently estimated that about $1)0.000 ) IH needed from tlio legislature this year to keep tlio luntl- tntlou where It should be. It is for northern Nebranka'H unfortunates that UilH appropriation should bo niiule. It IR the duty of northern Nohraakn people ple to ImproHH upon their legislators the necessity of providing for the com fort and health of the north Nolirasku tmmno. Half of the bills Introduced In the Nebraska legislature during the llrst nix days of ItH session are against , the railroads ; a fourth of tlio laws pro- josed lit the South Dakota legislature urn against the railroads ; pretty much the same proportion exists in many BtntoH. Much of tlio so-called reform which IH bejng proposed is grandstand quality. Sincere reform of existing ovlls Is to be commended and will be commended by all good citizens. Hut Ihoro Is another brand that always gets mixed up with the genuine article. There are fake reformers in every Htate. There are newspapers in every Htato playing to the galleries for the purpose of detracting attention , and then delving Into the graft game just aH Industriously as any of the much tooted corruptlonlBtB. Some of these so-called reformers , who are always \ ready to take a ride upon the crest of nny popular wave that comes along , will bear watching. Their love of the dear peo-pul li not nlwayn the motive for brass band demonstrations. CONGRESSIONAL TERMS. Perhaps no stronger argument could bo found for a change In the law which allows thirteen months to elapse be tween the election of a congressman and taking his seat , than the present condition of the Nebraska judicial divi sion bill. North Nebraska will suffer gross In justice If the amended law Is Intro duced , as Is now reported to bo planned , leaving out all north Nebras ka cities from the list of federal court towns. While Congressman Klnkald hoa done everything within his power to get two or at least ono court town In the Sixth district , the Interests of the whole northern half of the state have been sacrificed because the Third district Is not represented as It should bo by the newly elected congressman. A defeated congressman does not get out of office until thirteen months after his defeat. Having been defeat ed , ho has lost all interest In helping hl district and Instead ho has a chance to betray his constituency. The law which keeps the newly elect ed congressman from office over a year may , In this case , cost northern Ne braska dearly. OUTRAGE TO NORTH NEBRASKA No greater Injustice to half a state's population was over perpetrated than exists In the move by the Nebraska congressional delegation to deprive K the northern half of this state of a federal court point. It Is reported from Washington that the Nebraska congressional delegation has practically - ly determined to designate Omaha , Grand Island and Alliance as federal court towns to handle cases originat ing In the northern half of the state. For the greater portion of north Ne braska this would merely mean a con tinuation of the old journeys to Omaha and back , consuming 240 more miles of travel and many more days In time than would bo necessary If the people of this section were given their duo In the designation of Norfolk as a point for holding court terms. There is ono United States court house In northern Nebarska "north- em Nebraska" advisedly because Oma ha and Grand Island are not In north ern Nebraska for practical purposes , The people of the Third congressional district years ago succeeded in estab lishing a federal court point In their midst. Later they succeeded , through the Nebraska congressional delegation , In getting a $100,000 building constructed - ed wherein to hold these federal court sessions. That point. becaiiHO It was most convenient to the whole northern part of the state , was Norfolk. The people of the northern part of N'ohranka demanded then that federal court bo held In Norfolk , where they could go and coino to Iholr hoineH ens- IIy. Their demand wn blocked by Omaha , advantngo lining taken of a loophole In the law which did not com pel the court to hear cased originating In u ilven dlHlrlct at the court town In that dlHtrlct. The Injustice of Hiich a method has long been worked upon this Hectlon of the Htato. Northern No- bniHka people have suffered nn a re sult of UilH loophole In the law. Relief WIIH domiindod and promlHed when Senator Ilurkett started a bill last year. It was talked over a few days ago In Washington and amended by putting on a number of additional towns , Including O'Neill and Atklmion. Hut now comes word that with so many towns on the list , the bill could not PUSH because the committee would consider It unreasonable. It Is there fore to bo withdrawn and amended , cutting out all towns In northern No- hraHka excepting Omaha , ( Irani ! Island and Alliance , which merely makes n faico of the proposed law hocauso It In no way given the needed relief. North Nebraska would be glad to have three court points If that were possible. This whole section would be glad to have Alnsworth and O'Neill Included In the lint. Hut If these two cltlcH are to bo stricken out by the congressional delegation , then , until a better flay , the people of this tenllory do demand and righteously that at least ono north Nebraska court point bo left. Tlio injustice of the proposed amend- niont Is apparent when It is known that Norfolk Is easily acceslblo to this Hectlon , while Omaha , ( irand Island and Alliance are In distant portions of the state. And , further , when It Is known that the government has al ready gone to more than ? 100,000 ex pense to lit up a building hero for this very purpose. The people of this part of the state will unquestionably demand that the congressional delegation Include Nor folk In the list ; and In all fairness the state legislature ought to pass a reso lution also making this demand. CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION. There may bo compensation even though Norfolk should lose the federal court and a portion of the appropria tion needed for the hospital. If noth ing more , the loss will Impress vividly upon IIH the fact that there coino occa sions now and then when , for the city's public welfare , there should bo some organized method of meeting emergen cies and looking out for Norfolk. Many have expressed the Idea that there was little or nothing that a business men's organization could do. The present crisis brings homo tl.o fact that there are occasions which demand public ac tion. tion.The The Incident will place more faith In the Commercial club and Its possi bilities. Perhaps we have nil , in not realizing just what a Commercial club can mean to a city , helped to bring about Inaction. It now becomes the duty of us all of all Norfolk to breathe back Into the Commercial club renewed confidence and energy and encouragement. Men who work for the public work at a personal sacrifice. The burdens of all Invariably fall upon a'few. And the work of those few Is seldom fully appreciated by the public at large. But that's the human way. Business men of Norfolk realize that past Indifference may have contributed to inaction on the part of our business men's organization. Lack of encour agement from the members .may 'have been like throwing cold water upon efforts of ofllcers. There has been nothing deliberate among- members to discourage the men chosen to do things that need looking after ; there has been probably nothing deliberate in the lack of achievement. A sort of public In difference has perhaps had much to do with results. The federal court situation and the hospital Incident bring homo the re suit of indifference regarding public good. Once , realizing that co-opera tlon and encouragement are needed from every Individual In the town where a few are to carry the burden of public betterment , Norfolk business men will stand together loyally. It Is perhaps safe to say that no city ol 5,000 people could bo found anywhere In this country whore live as progres slvo and up-to-date and loyal a set ol business men as reside right hero In Norfolk. The trouble has been that the value of co-operative organization among business Interests has been treated with something of a lack of Interest , The loss of two Important possessions would bring out this value In black typo. There Is this hope left with regard to both these matters. The legislature has not yet passed the hospital appro priation and If Immediate action were taken the hospital hero might faro at It should , or nearly so. The amended Judicial division bill has not yet been Introduced and If proper action were aken Immediately , perhaps Rending the light man to Washington , there Is still a chance for saving Norfolk as a federal court point. Hut whether those nro lost or gained , the value of co-operation In public mat ters has come homo to us all. NEBRASKA'S NEW SENATOR. Nebraska has a new United States senator. Tlio toga bus fallen over the shoulders of the man who last year occupied the chair lirtho attorney gen- ernl'H olllco at Lincoln. Nominated for the position by the republican state con vent Ion last summer , Norrls Brown lias been elected In compliance with the convention endorsement. Senator Mlllard will retire at the end of liiH term and Senator Brown will seat him self In the empty senate chair down at Washington. In his speech of acceptance Senator Brown has said little Unit Is new or different fioni what had been said be fore by him and by his friends during the lire-convention campaign that was made In his behalf. Ho has thanked the st'ato legislature and through that body the state at largo for the honor that has been conferred upon him. From the now senator's lips have come expressions of eloquence In re gard to this great and much loved state of ours. Ears of tlio legislators wore also tilled with ringing words which praised the bravery of the nation's chief , and voiced the sentiment for re form which has been taken up by pro- con vent Ion backers. Senator Brown pledges himself to stand by the protective tariff , which has led this country from the soup house to the garden of plenty and prosperity. Not antagonizing the so- called "progressives" who declare that the tariff should bo revised , the now senator's words Indicate that ho in tends to stand by the president In up holding this doctrine which has done so much to bring about constant em ployment at living wages for the workIng - Ing man of the United States. The acceptance speech of Senator Brown Is brief and does not permit of a discussion of what the now olllctal expects to accomplish or to try to ac complish for his constituents while In Washington. He does give notice that he expects to try to Introduce an amendment to the federal statute which will prohibit a railroad com pany from Issuing nil Injunction to prevent the collection of taxes. But the republican party of Nebraska , who have been responsible for the election of Senator Brown , feel that they can securely hope for and promise more In the way of constructive work from this young man than his acceptance speech might Indicate. The election of the new senator was the second of Its kind In the state , Senator KurKott bluing been elected two years ago after he had been en dorsed by the republican convention. The Into Edward Rosowntqr was the closest rival for the nomination. Mr. Brown was the state's attorney gener al at the time his name was brought forth as an aspirant for the high honor. The state convention's nomination last summer of Mr. Brown left little for the state legislature this week to do excepting to record the vote. The legislative power was practically tak en from It by the convention , so far as the United States senator's election was concerned. The legislators this winter , in that regard , amounted to little more than the presidential elect ors who technically elect the president but who merely , in fact , record the popular choice. In view of the fact that the same charges which were made against Mr. Brown by tlio Van ( Housan resolution were made pretty generally last sum mer before the republican convention \yas held , it was perhaps considered beyond the moral right'of the present legislature to take seriously the reso lution asking for an investigation into certain alleged circumstances which , if true , should have caused some em barrassment. At all events , whether the legislators considered that i\iof \ lacked the moral authority or whether they believed the charges inconsequen tial , the matter was tabled and did not Interfere with a ro'll call on the sena torial election. The resolutions which were Intro duced by Mr. Van Housnn last week asked that Norrls Brown , R. B. Schnei der , Ross Hammond , the State Journal and J. B. Strode bo Investigated. It was alleged that as attorney general of the state Mr. Brown's duty led to ward the prosecution of an alleged grain "trust" In which It was charged R. B. Schneider and Ross Hammond of Fremont wore Interested. Ross Hammond early last summer an nounced his candidacy for the sena- torshlp nomination. Mr. Brown went to Fremont ono day. It was alleged that ho went to confer with R. B. Schneider and Ross Hammond. After his visit to Fremont Ross Hammond very suddenly withdrew as a candi date for the senntorshlp and began shouting for Norrls Brown. The case of the state against the alleged gn'n "trust" was lost by Attorney Genera Brown. A suit was begun by the stnN against the State Journal company for the collection of $85,000 alleged to bo 'duo ' the state over the printing and soiling by the State Journal company of court records copyrighted by the Btato. It was alleged that Norrls Brown , being the prosecuting attorney la the case , should have been In no po sition to receive aid from the State Journal company In his political ambi tions ; nevertheless the State Journal and Its allied evening paper , the Lin coln News , early last summer began devoting column upon column of ed itorial and news space toward the can didacy of Norrls Brown for the sena torial nomination. It was alleged that In return for this support the attorney general bungled the suit against that nowHpapcr company and got It In such Hhapo that It could not bo won. It was also alleged that Mr. Strode , an attor ney for lumber dealers In a case of the state against them , was appointed deputy attorney general. The charges were ugly ones. Chair man Rose of the republican state cen tral committee denied them as false In every particular. Mr. Brown de nied them. And Governor Sheldon Is quoted as saying that they amounted to nothing. The resolution for nn Investigation was tabled. And on the day after ward the republicans In the legislature showed their faith In their candidate and their respect for the convention which nhil endorsed him , by giving their undivided support to the man against whom these charges had been annulled. Senator Brown gives no line or word to the Incident In his acceptance speech , which is an act of discretion. For the allegations wore not consid ered serious enough by the legislators who elected him to warrant olllclal action , and therefore the senator-elect was fully justified In disregarding the Btory ami declining to put more wings upon it than had alreadv been sprout ed. Norrls Brown Is no longer the attor ney general. That olllco with Its asso ciations has become a thing of the past. Its former occupant has stepped fro.m Its door and , holding the repub lican state convention's order for one brand new toga , he has stepped up to the department where such robes are kept and , brushing his way through the crowd who tugged at his elbow , has claimed his property. The republican party of Nebraska presents Senator Norrls Brown with a feeling of responsibility for his cre ation and with the sincere hope that ho will rolled credit upon his constitu ents and upon our party. AROUND TOWN. Well , It was nineteen years ago to day that tlio big blizzard happened. There's many a slip 'twist your home and the office on sidewalks like these. A Norfolk man has just sold his horse. lie sold It In the winter time while It was frisky. A man visiting In Norfolk refused to win the prize at a card party because he thought It wouldn't be fair to take the trophy out of town. Editor Barnhart says ho knows of democratic lawyers who will bo will ing to take the Judgeship appointment in the Ninth judicial district. It's always comforting on a cold day to think that It's good weather for the Iceman. Norfolk people rode to town on Icycles instead of bicycles Monday morning. That hunch about an approaching change In Northwestern railroad offi cials was on the right track. August Mueller , Stanton jail pris oner , has demonstrated when a model prisoner Is not a model prisoner. What has become of the old fash ioned golf skirt with pockets In It ? No sooner does the weather editor anticipate the "coldest night of the winter" than the wind shifts and the mercury takes a leap. A wise woman courts friendship of neighbors whoso names begin with her own Initial and whose napkins , there fore , are lettered the same. Frank Walters and S. M. Braden have gone up like sky rockets In North western railroad service. Grand Island ought to have a fire this week Just to allow the Norfolk flre boys to show them how it Is done. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. Some people put pants on Teddy bears and spoil them. What has become of the old-fash ioned girl who was over ready to "faint away ? " Almost every man Imagines ho would do a lot of philanthropic stunts if ho had the money. There Is this difference : After n woman has been married a few years , Mio does iost of her dreaming at f It will make the women nn ' Lu rhnps the cause of a great many attempted flirtations is that men find the girls they don't know more attractive than those they know , ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING COMES TO AN END. NELIGH MAN MADE PRESIDENT Dr. Beattie Will bo at Head of Elkhorn - horn Valley Medical-Society for Yaar. This Society Declared More Valuable Than State Association , [ Knur Wednesday' * Dally. ) The Elkhorn Valley Medical society closed Us eleventh annual meeting In Norfolk with a banquet , after an en thusiastic and well attended business session. The following ofllcers wore elected for the year : President , Dr. D. W. Beattlo , Nellgh. First vice president , Dr. R. H. Rho- den , Fremont. Second vice president , Dr. II. L. Kin dred , Meadow Grove. Secretary , Dr. W. R. Peters , Stanton. Treasurer , Dr. W. H. H. Hagoy , Nor folk. folk.The The visiting physicians snt down at a sumptuous spread at the Pacific ho tel. Secretary Peters of Stanton acted as toast master In a fellcltlous manner and called upon the following , who re sponded to the subjects given them : To Outrank State Society. Dr. Ford of Omaha spoke In strong praise of the eleventh annual meet of the Elkhorn Valley Medical society. It was destined In practical value to * outrank the state society. Dr. Knnchero of Slonx City gave an entertaining and Instructive talk on the specialist In medicine and received generous applause. Dr. Beattlo of Nellgh responded to the "general practitioner" in a terse and entertaining vein. Dr. Pheasant , who Is bubbling over with the happiness of recent wedlock , spoke with great enthusiasm on the physician as a family man. Dr. Wigglcsworlh of Hooper , with much self deprecation , spoke of com petition and the scorn of trust methods among the profession. Dr. Henry of Omaha had for his sub ject the medical colleges and gave an Interesting discourse on a subject with which he Is very familiar. Dr. Rhoden of Fremont gave an ear nest and serious talk on the duties of the physician as a citizen. George B. Clirlstoph of Norfolk , a member of the state board of phar macy , contributed to the topic , "tho doctor an easy mark , " the Information that substitution and adulteration In prescription filling were never In dulged In by reputable druggists and that the latter held to as high a stan dard of professional honor as the doc tors and substitution was Impossible because doctors are not easy marks. J. Earle Harper spoke briefly on the relation the druggist bears to the doc tor. Happiness Depends on Self. Dr. Mnckny responded to "A talk for others today. " Ho prefaced his remarks regarding the work of physi cians for others by calling attention to the small need the doctor had person ally for study or medicine , in the fol lowing well chosen words : "The committee on ecrology has re ported that out of n membership of 150 In this society there has been no death during the past year. As ono looks over this assemblage It becomes evident from the glow of health that mantles the cheeks , and the cheerful ness of spirit that prevails , that we have little use for our medicine. Ra ther would one think that we were mil lionaires with leisure and an assured income Instead of hard working men exposed to danger and the vicissitude of accident and disease with sorrow , sickness and death for an environment. The physician illustrates the supreme triumph of man over environment and proves that the kingdom of heaven Is within us , that out of the alchemy of our own hearts we make the elixir of human happiness. From the self same flower from which the bee obtains hon ey , the wasp extracts only polson"for its sting , so it is all in the method of mechanism whether we derive from life a rich reward.

Out of the entire membership of 125 physicians who belong to the Elkhorn Valley Medical society , and who meet In Norfolk each year , there was not ono single death during the year just closed , which is considered quite n cause for congratulation by the mem bers when the risks taken by physi cians are considered. Out in the cold nights during wintry weather , Uiklng long drives through storms and then exposed to all sorts of diseases to which humans are heir , the members of the society hero for the convention declared hint their own treatment must bo pretty good to keep them all alive.
