KINICAIIJON Til 10 POINT ,
According to report fnim Washington -
ton , Judge Klnknld IIUH won hit ) point
In connection with the now Jinllcliil
illvlnlon bill mill Phadron IIUH lioon put
on the HH ( , drawing ( 'hurry county
KUDOS nwny from Norfolk , And the
hill , It In now ruportwl , linn a piotty
good chauco of becoming a luw. It
will ho one of the nioHl linportuut gains
( hut Norfolk hits niiulo In soniu time ,
If thu law IB enacted.
Per years Norfolk hna hcen ono of
four federal court points , hut thuro
never has heen a Jury case tried in
this , city. All canon have gotten Into
tlio habit of going to Omaha and It wnfl
n habit that gruw.
In order that Norfolk .may got Its
ilno' In Ihls regard , thin section will hi ;
willing to shako hanilH with Chadron
in her now accession ,
WAYNE'S NORMAL SCHOOL.
Over at Wayne , Nob. , they are ded
icating a now addition to their nor
mal school. The attendance outgrow
the old buildings and new ones had to
IKJ built. In the growth of the AVuyno
normal school there Is a story.
A score of years ago Prof. IMle , who
owns the Institution , came to Norfolk
and wanted to locate his school here.
Not enough Inducement was tendered
and ho went to Wayne. It was made
worth his while to get off and camp
right there. Today about a thousand
students spend most of the year In
Wayno. The colic-go needed more
buildings and the bonds wore Moated
right there In the town.
It pays to take a chance at the In
fant Industry , and to boost. It pays
to nourish every prospective seed that
happens to drop In upon a communi
ty's Industrial garden. It oven pays to
go out into strnngo lands and to look
for now seeds.
AIMING AT POLYGAMY.
A bill has heen introduced In the
Nebraska legislature looking toward
an amendment to the constitution , of
the United States prohibiting polyga
my. While polygamy Is a crlmo which
will bo pretty generally classified as
ono of the ought-lo-be-prohlblled fea
tures of life , yet the constitutional
amendment , according to Senator Du-
bets of Idaho , would bo farcical in ef
fect.
It Is not always an easy matter to
prove the charge and It Is said that
in Utah and southern Idaho the Mor
mons band together to such an extent
that they own the very Judicial ma
chlnory , along with the rest of the
community. The const Union could
be built up with amendments until It
wore black in the face , without get
ting a single conviction.
It's a different sort of law than the
statute which must prohibit polygamy.
Just as Istrue of many another form
of ovlldolng. To prohibit by leglslu
lion Is a much more dlHlcult matter
than to prohibit by education and mor
al enlightenment.
"UNCLE" JOE.
"Uncle" Joe Cannon , czar of the
house of representatives , is gelling
himself talked about as a presidential
possibility down at Washington but ,
in answer to questions on the subject ,
he merely says "Fudge. " And mean
while , on dull days , the gossip of pos
sibilities goes merrily on. II Is ns
serted In Hearst quarters that Presi
dent Roosevelt Is anxious for a third
term and that Thomas F. Ryan held
a conference with him recently to lay
plans for the matter. This hardly has
the right ring to it , In view of the ro-
pcated nnd emphatic declaration of
the president that ho will under no
circumstances accept another nomina
tion.
tion.But
But there are several others In the
field who would gladly take a chance
at It. There's Taft of Ohio , and For-
aker from the same state , fighting
each .other ; there's LaFolletle of Wis
consin and Spooner lighting him ;
there are Fairbanks and Boverldgo In
Indiana ; and there's dear old Cum
mlns in Iowa with Shaw after him
Hughes In New York is getting bigger
every day , and his friends believe
lightning may strike him , though he's
rather swinging away from party ma
chinery and endangering his persona
success at the hands of the politicians
It Is claimed for Cannon by his
friends that he is the most logical can-
\didale \ , nnd that ho will como in with
a solid state delegation behind him.
But "Uncle. " Joe only puffs at his
cigar.
, ' EDITORS WILL WALK.
It will bo rather interesting to note
the attendance of Nebraska newspaper
men at their annual convention in
Omaha. For the first time in their
lives they will have to pay cash for
their trip , or walk. And most of thepi
who go will probably be able to borrow
the money for the HnUoof ridding
jtheniHolvenjif the long tramp , An of
j fort ) WIIH madi' to gut transportation
for Ihupi , but It fulled. It woiid ) have
been In direct violation of the spirit
of I lie Interstate commniro commis
sion's ruling. And so , writes Will
Mnuplii , "you've got Just what you've
buun wanting a chance to pay cash
faro and ho Independent. "
I'lic surprising part of It all Is that
nnioug thoHO who have been hammer-
ng awuy at the Interstate commerce
ommlSHlon for Its i tiling In this par-
loulur , are many of the reformers who
spout column upon column last sumner -
nor In doiiiiiudlng Just this soil of a
k'lil. They cried about discrimination
nnd all that sort of thing , asking for
.ho "sipiaro doal. " Hut the moment
ho "square deal" struck their purses ,
ohblng thorn of their old tlmo mileage
looks , they began to point out why the
editors ought to bo exceptions to the
nle , and why they ought to bo allowed
free transportation. Some of them
were so wrought up at their loss that
they accused the Interstate cojnmorco
commission of trying' to' make the law
inconstltu'tlonal. " '
And so It will bo lii o/osllng to , sto
low many of the boys are on deck for
ho forthcoming lovqfost In Oinnhn ;
tow many are willing' to walk up to
ho captain's desk and pay-for tholr re
forms or walk. "
LINCOLN'S COMPLAINT. '
Lincoln has como forth with a turdy
complaint against the federal Judicial
illvlslon bill as It will bo passed In
congress. When the bill was fntro-
ilnced , Lincoln "was glad. Lincoln cen
sured Omaha for not wanting the
neasuro to become a law. Lincoln
called Omaha selllsh In the mutter.
The good of the whole state , of all the
icoplo , was to bo considered above the
selfishness of any particular city , quoth
jlncoln.
Hut It all depends upon your view
point. Lincoln wanted n line drawn
hrough the state so that there would
lie Omaha as the headquarters for oho
district and Lincoln for the other.
Then a federal Judge could live at Lin
coln , the business could be transacted
at Lincoln , and nil would bo lovely.
The bill doesn't read that way.
Somehow it provides that there shall1
10 only ono division in the state , wltlr
two federal judges , and that there shall
ho a number of districts and a point
n each district at which court shall be
lold. Norfolk Is ono 'of these mid
Chadron Is another.
The now bill will bring federal court
close to the people , nnd that was what
Lincoln used to , claim was the public
need. People from Madison and
Pierce , Stanton , Wayne , Antelope ,
Knox , Hoyd , Holt , Rock , Drown and
Keyu Paha counties will all como to
Norfolk for tholr federal court cases.
Indian cases and the like will bo tried
hero. It Is bringing "the court close to
the great masses. ,
The bill Is taking from Omaha its
former game. That ought to satisfy
Lincoln. It would If there weren't
more in sight for the state capital.
But after all , It Isn't reallyin sight.
For the hill Is going to-pass Just asit
is.
Lincoln ought to got right with her
conscience nnd be willing to dress In
consistency. This wearing of a one
colored stocking on ono foot and an
other colored bit of hosiery on the
other , long since went out of date.
CLEAR TRACK AHEAD.
Norfolk business men generally seem
to be pleased with the prospect that
a reorganized Commercial club Is go
Ing to take aggressive action toward
the city's progress. Already things
are doing , and It Is but the beginning.
Many have contended all along that
there Is positive need of organized nc
tlvity In Norfolk , for the city's public
welfare. The petition circulated the
other day expressed this sentiment
emphatically and not a man on the
street refused to sign It. Action
seemed to bo the need , as viewed by
a vast majority.
And action Is going to result. MeetIngs -
Ings each Tuesday morning at S o'clock
will bo held by the board of directors ,
when matters of interest to the city
will bo taken up ni\d necessary action
will result. Legislative needs are al
ready being looked after by a com
mittee of one appointed for that pur
pose , nnd a siding from the Omaha
track to the state insane hospital ,
needed as a matter of economy to the
state , will likely result. Commercial
travelers residing In Norfolk are to
become members nnd the membership
fees made complimentary , so that be
fore long a small army of live wires ,
reaching out all through the very tor
rltory In which Norfolk is so vitally
interested , will feel that they have a
genuine interest in the city's upbuild
Ing ; this recognition of the worth of
commercial travelers ns representa
tives of the city was but a just rec
ognition and one that Norfolk will
never regret.
Committees hereafter are to bo com
posed of one man. It has been found
that one man will do things , because
he alone Is responsible , where three
men or five will neglect It , because
there'Js always the other fellow to attend
'
tend I'o it. That's human nature.
The healthy sentiment seems to pre
Vail all over town that Norfolk's busi
ness Interests are going to take nil-
vuntagu df the power which there Js
In orgunlzutloii and coopernllon , and
make an effort toward an advance-
mfrnt to which the city Is entitled.
Never wore Norfolk's prospects bet
ter for progress along many lines than
now. And hopes will bo realized be
cause every business man In the city
seems to bo ready and anxious to lend
aid and loyal co-operation toward any
movement which will result In benefit ,
for the city.
THACUIOKS COMING AGAIN.
Wo uro to have with ns the teach
ers again this spring. They will como
from all over northern Nebraska April
II , I and 5 and because of the conven-
lion here there will bo prominent j
speakers In the city , Including Sen-
ator Dolllver of Iowa. The meetings |
will be held In the Auditorium. Oill-
cers of the association promlse-a large
crowd , and there Is reason to believe
that there will be a larger crowd here
than over before , shiQO the attendance
iias been Increasing steadily. '
It was said last fall by one of the
illieer.i Of the association Unit''tlio.ro
2ouldJust as well be 1,000 teachers
liore for the session ns 400 ; that all
: hat Is needed to make the attendance
; mo of hitherto unknown proportions ,
will bo the boosting of the meeting
iutd the advertising of the dates , nnd
attractions by Norfolk.
Norfolk Is anxious for a largo crowd
mid to this end will endeavor to make
; ho session the most attractive that
ms yet been held In the association's
ilstory.
The address by Senator Dolllver , as
well as the declamatory contest , are
expected to draw enormously. Last
year eighteen cities of northern Ne
braska joined In competing for the
.leclamatory honors.
It Is none too soon to begin making
preparations looking to the best meetIng -
Ing that teachers of this section have
ever known.'H '
The teachers voted to come buck
to Norfolk , and Norfolk appreciates
the compliment.
NORFOLK. THE GATEWAY.li
F. W. Stevens ; whose wife and three
'children perished In a blizzard on the
South Dakota prairies JhiltmiPy' 24 ,
wallJbd 300 miles alid laudeVi lif Npr-
folk. He came , first to YanktOjU from
his homestead , whqro he had jeft hlil
family , cold In deiipi , then he .walked
to Wlnslde , and then ho came to Nor
folk" .
All of which , In passing , bears a vi
tal significance. It illustrates the fu
ture that Norfolk has a right to hope
'
' ' ' ' ' '
for. '
That man and his fninlly I'lved 300
miles away from Norfolk. He , lived
In another state. It was away out on
the plains , away from everywhere.
And yet , when tumble came and left
him alone In the world , his first
thought as to a destlnallon headed him
toward Norfolk , Neb , gateway to the I
new northwest , hi which he lived. 11
Yankton , S. D. , Is one of .the big' '
cities of that state , Yet hp ha.il .no
time to stop there. Sioux City has
long considered South Dakota as its ,
very own , yet this man didn't even
dream of Sioux City. One point on the ,
map stuck out In his mind ns the
pre-eminent guide-post to which he
ought to stear. And lie came to Norfolk -
folk , by a circuitous route , and i after
a journey of 300 miles on foot.
It shows the position of Norfolk on
the northwest map. This was the
Junction to which that man's eyes
turned as the place where he could
get a train for homo. Ho lived 300
miles away , In another state , far out
on the prairies , but Norfolk was the
nearest gateway for his journey.
Norfolk Is the focusing point for a
vast new Held of fertile land the gateway -
way through which people going and
coming must pass.
And therein are opportunities that
were cut from the same cloth which
made Chicago's Industrial suit of
clothes.
THAW CASE DETAILS.
President Roosevelt considers the
Thaw trial details unworthy of pub
licity , and ho seeks to have newspa
pers containing these details barred
from the mails. The legal department
will decide whether the feat can be
accomplished and will render an opin
ion. By the time the legal department
gets around , in Its legal way , to give
an opinion on the matter , Harry Thaw
will probably be walking up and down
dear old Broadway , so that the effort
will in all probability result In nothing
more than an expression of the presi
dent's opinion on the matter.
Much depends upon the viewpoint In
connection with such details as we
have been reading from the Thaw mur
der trial , There are ways of convert
ing the case into various phases of ar
gument
Among other things characteristic
of America Is a free press. Vulgarity
is barred from the malls as It should
be. But there are other ways of tell-
jng a story than by the , use of objec
tionable language. And that has been
done by the newspaper writers nt
New York who nro'coverlng'the Thaw
trial.
If thdro bo anything of value in the
problem plays that have boen'c
during'tin ) past few yours so
frequently In.'this ' country ; IP .there . be
anything of Vnluo In Itnprcsshig upon
the mind lessons of cause rind effect
In llfo : If there bo anything of gain In
the tragedy , ns a contrast to the Ideal ,
then all of that worth Is wrapped up
together In this Thaw tragedy.
Wo slip along thoughtlessly through
life unless Incidents attract our uttenJ
( Ion. Optimism and sunshine nru the
joys j of'living , but now and then wo
must know the frightful storm : the
awful calamity , In order to bring out
In all Its bounty the aunslilno that fol-'j
lows.
I lull's a tragedy thnt Is depicting
the worst sldo of pretentious life ,
( lore's a set of humans who have
ruined their lives nnd the lives of all
about them by their sin. And there's
mutorlul for serious reflection in all of
that t wretched story.
The wages of sin is death , we're tolll
and where more strikingly than'
hero ? Nor Is It all a physical deajh
It's death to that mother and thoj <
sisters of Thaw , who , despite thej :
millions and their titles nnd their frfih
lly prestige , have been dragged down
Into this disgraceful mlrb. Stanford
White had a wife and family ; they
kneW his wickedness for It drove them
awny from this man , mighty though
ho was In his profession. It's worse
than death , the result ofmil this-evil-
doing. ' *
And It Is only a typical case. Few
of them result in bullets and murder
trials , , but nil of them , sooner or later ,
result In disintegration of the home
nnd happiness of not'only the guilty
but also the Innocent.
There's a forcetul danger sign stirck
up In life's skating pond by this trial
and the more terrible the details , the
more striking will bo the letters that
spell "Danger" on this sign.
The nets of Evelyn Nesblt's mother
are worth knowing that they may
stand out as warnings to perhaps other
thousands of mothers.
There's nothing attractive about all
t hirf disgraceful1 , 'Xvretched ' story of
wickedness. The American people
have Judgment enough lo digest these
details ' ' , saving , the good for their sys-
tijins and discarding the bad.
There's no way to bat- out this puo-
Hefty , .for the American people have
always boasted their free press1"and ,
besides , they're demanding just what
the' 'newspaper Is I46ddy giving them.
New York papers have sent their
best men men whoso names appear
often on the pages of current maga
zines nnd the Associated Press has
Us most splendid talent , covering this
Thaw case. '
It's news , of course , and that shows
that the public is insistent. Hut , deeper -
or than' that. Is the facl that such awfulness -
fulness stands out as a warning sign
to humankind.
It's not to be deplored that the pa
pers are printing these things half so
much as it is to be deplored that they
actually take place. '
FEDERAL COURT BILL.
The latest report from Washington
with .regard to the federal court mat
ter , is to the effect that Congressman
Klnkald' has stood pat in his demand
that t either Valentine or Alliance be |
designated as a federal court point.
He ] based his demand upon the size of
the Sixth district. The two senators
have 1 agreed to take up tlie matter with
the t subcommittee in an attempt to get
this extra Sixth district town on the
court map. . In case they fail , Congress
man Kinkaid will vote against the bill.
The progress of this bill will be
watched with Intense interest by Nor
folk and northern Nebraska , because
it 1 means so much to all parts of this
section . If the bill fails , federal court
will continue to go to Omaha very
largely.
It Is to be hoped that , for the sake
of harmony and for 'the sake of the
big Sixth district , that Valentine will
be named as one point , and that the
judicial committee will allow the bill
to pass. The law would require all
cases arising In a given territory to be
tried nt the court point within that ter
ritory. This would force the attor
neys to hold court In Norfolk , as well 11
as In Valentine.
Congressman Klnknid took the ra
ther unfair attitude that the people of
Rock , Brown , Keya Paha and other
counties would prefer paying extra
fare to Omaha Instead of comln'g to
Norfolk. While Norfolk hardly appre
ciates the attitude of the Sixth district
representative in this regard , holding
that at least one court town should bo
given to northern Nebraska if no more H
could be obtained , yet Norfolk wishes i
the Sixth district well am } hopes it ronj-
land a town.
Congressman Klnkald forgets , however
over , that in putting court in Norfolk
it would at least bo bringing the ses
sion nearer homo and that it would
mean the saving of much tlmO nnd
money not only to clients , in the Third ,
but also In his own district , In Boyd
county.
Concerning the row , a Washngton
special to the Omaha Bee said :
Washington. There is a row on in
the Nebraska delegation which gives
promise of defeating the judicial bill
unless a. spirit of give and take be-
'comes ' more pronounced than It now is.
! It was Biipposed that the jiiilicfnl
I' I bill ' , as Introduced by Judge Nitrrs | ,
I would bo reported out of the judiciary
committee J , the report on the bill be
ing In the hands of the chairman of
the t subcommittee , Mr. Alexander of
New j York. Just prior to the meeting
of the subcommittee unexpectedly Sen
ators Mlllard and Burkott appeared In
the t Judiciary room , accompanied by
Representative Klnknld , and , as
'chance ' would have It , Judge Norrls
appeared nt the sumo tlmo In order to
see thnt the report on his bill was
mado.
| ' Judge Klnkald began proceedings
iby Insisting the last bill Introduced by
j '
.ludgu Norrls did not glvo the Sixth
\ district the number of places for hold
ing i court to which that district is entitled -
titled t nnd ho demanded th'at the Fif
teenth t judicial district bo given recog
nition ' and that Alliance as well as
Valentine or some place on the North
western road bo Inserted. This change
Judge Norrls fought with all his
' strength , as it would affect both the
Omaha and Norfolk divisions , and he
I Insisted that it would , bo a breach of
3 'decency , > to say hotnlng of courtesy ,
\t \ tWphu ges suggps.tqd by Judge Kin-
1 < aid' slum I'd bo made' in the absence of
Messrs. Kennedy and McCarthy , repre-
scnitlng those divisions. While not
outspoken , it may bo said that the
, senators , seemed Inclined to support
Judge Klnkald in his demand for ad
ditional recognition , but the decided
stand taken by Judge Norrls , that
there would be no change in the bill ,
which was 'agreed upon in a conf6r-
en'co held by the delegation and that
thp report on the bill be held over
until some other day , It was then - decided -
cided t6 call , a meeting of the delega-
tlon at Senator Mlllard's committee
room so that some concerted action
might be agreed upon or else abandon
the new" judge proposition for Nebras- .
kn altogether.
Norrls Worked Up.
In this connection it Is fair to say
that the subcommittee of the judiciary
committee is fully agreed on the prop-
oslton that to give additional places to
the Sixth district would be out of pro
portion to those granted the rest of
the state. Judge Norris , when seen
tonight , was considerably worked up
over the turn affairs have taken and
said :
"The bill will never be passed If we
must satisfy all the demands of Judge
Klnkald. "
Apropos of this condition , Judge ,
Norrls today received the following' '
telegram , signed by Messrs. J. H.
Hongland , Beeler , Halligan and
Grimes , bar committee of the Lincoln
County Bar association : "The bar of
this county and the western portion of
the state commend your bill making
North Platte a point for holding fed
eral court. We hope you will insist
upon North Platte being named. "
Judge Klnkald , in explaining his po
sition on the judicial division bill , said
that from the very beginning he had
been opposed to North Platte. That
he ] opposed it to the full committee of
judjeary , and insisted that if North
Platte remained in the bill Alliance
should be put in and some other point
on the Northwestern railroad in the
Fifteenth judicial district. He said
the bill as drawn puts most of the
Fifteenth judicial district with Nor
folk , leaving the west part to North
Platte , including Alliance. All the
way through the judge said he had
contended that the remotest parts of
the I state should have relief in the first
instance I and that the portion of his
I' district ' included in the Fifteenth judi
cial district had n right to recognition ,
and If ho could not get the recognition
which he believed the people of that
section ! were entitled to he would be
In favor of leaving matters as they are
and. continue to go to Omaha.
Cites Some Reasons.
"In order to go to North Platte. " he
said , "the people residing in Sheridan
county would be compelled to change
cars four limes , going by way of Craw
ford and Sidney. The people of Cher
ry , Brown , Keya Paha and Rock conn
ties would rather go to Omaha after
they once got started than to stop at
Norfolk. The bill as now framed fixes
all places for holding court In less than
half of the area of the state In a com
pact form. The Fifth congressional
district has Grand Island , Hastings
and McCook , which is out of all pro
portion to the rest of the state. The
Sixth dis'trict is three and a half times i
as large as the Fifth. As framed the
bill Is disproportionate , not only as to
area , but to population as well. Tak
ing the court to the people is , I under
stand , the theory of the bill , and If
that bo true the distance must there
fore be considered. " I
A special to the State Journal says :
There Is no disguising the fact that
the entire delegation , including both
Senators Burkett and Mlllard , are be
coming wearied of present conditions ,
and it would not be surprising if they
took' some emphatic methods of ex
pressing their dissatisfaction. The j I
defeat of the whole matter is freely
predicted. '

A man's wife's kin never expect his
children to amount to much because
they bear such a resemblance to their
father , but if the children really do
turn out well , It doesn't help the fa-
ther's standing any ,
A woman's dreams as she grows
older , dwindle fron ] visions of marble
palaces , with spacious halls and pillared -
lared porticoes , to a hope that she
may sometime occupy a house with a
sufficient number of closets.
What has become of the old-fash
ioned man who 'used to say Monday
morning : : "Get up , all of you , and get
to work. Here It Is , Monday morning.
Tomorrow will be Tuesday and the
next day Wednesday ; half the week
gone and nothing done ? "
A man was "sitting around home" '
one evening. A number of women
were present "You .women are a fun
ny lot , " the man said. "You men are
just as funny to us , " one of the wo
men i replied. "Wherein are we fun
ny ' ? " asked the man. And the woman
couldn't give him a single example.
( Note Every woman who reads this
will say : "I wish I had that oppor-
tunlty ! " )
We have noticed'that ' the man whose
only comment as he rends the paper
Is a "pick" on the things he doe's ' not
like , is the same one who "picks" on
his friends ; thinks the town he lives
in the dullest on earth ; complains because -
cause it rains too'much , or does not
rain enough ; thinks the weather Js too
hot or too cold. It Is no use to discuss
anything " with a man of that kind.
The only" teenslble thing to 'do is tp
give him time to think by letting him. ,
' '
alone.
