Secretary Tafl Hcems to bo very gen
erally received as the Roosevelt presi
dential candidate. 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.

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

folk.

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. "
