Norfolk IIUH iiuuiy reasons for ask

to hope Hint Hint railroad nmy aeo
Ihu fairness of n reauuHt that ItH
inalnllnu trains l o brought up Into the
city of Norfolk.
Norfolk HtnnilH united In this re
quest. On every hand there Is ex
pressed enthusiasm In the plan nnd
mi undlvldud hope that the undertak
ing may tuiccood.
Norfolk bt'lloves that It would bo to
the intercslH not only of the city but
nlHO of the railroads to got together In
this matter and establish n union sta-
tlon that would servo for all time.
And thereIH nothing that Norfolk
would bo more pleased with , Just at
this time , than this simple solution of
the depot matter.
U Is recognized on all hands that ,
oven If the supreme court decides
that the street may bo closed , and
even if the council should pass such
mi ordinance , there- would still bo dis
sension over the closing of Phillip
uvenuo and that dissension would not
bo a desirable factor In the com
munity's life to contemplate for the
future.
The simplest solution of the matter
Is the union station. It is not un
reasonable. There Is hope Hint Nor
folk's viewpoint may bo made clear.
THE SMALL TOWN.
W. H. Mnnss of Chicago used to bo
a minister of the gospel nt Lincoln ,
Neb. Today ho Is preaching n differ
ent sort of sermon a sermon to small
towns nil over the west , a sermon that
ought to bo of Interest to every com
munity that is built upon nn agricul
tural foundation.
Mr. Mnnss Is just now Industrial
CQiiimlsslonor for the Burlington rail
road. There wore- several reasons
why he left the pulpit to ride around
In a Pullman car and preach the doc
trine of factory development. One of
the reasons was better pay.
1 And ho Is earning his salary. Down
nt Ashland the other day Mr. Manas
told the good people of that town that
their growth , lf they wore to depend
%
upon agricultural surroundings , had
reached Us maximum limit.
Ashland is only one small town in
Nebraska. There are plenty of Ash-
lands scattered over these Nebraska
and Soutli Dakota prairies. And Mr.
Mnnss Is right about It Ashland has
reached its maximum growth if agri
culture Is to be its solo support. Now
Industries , now constructive factors
must bo created if more houses are
to bo rented In Ashland , moro sugar
bought , and moro shoes for the babies.
Mr. Manas pointed out to the people
of Ashland that a factory employing
100 men nt $1 per day each would
mean $600 per week spent in the town
Anil Ashland could make n good man }
things.
Mr. Mnnss pointed outf that cnta
logue houses In the cities are making
Inroads on local merchants , and thai
Ashland , to survive , must keep swim
uilng.
And Ashland is not tlio only Ash
land.
TELHARMON1C SYSTEM.
The "telharmonlc" system of pro
ducing music by means pf electrlca
vibrations , which is just now beint ,
demonstrated In Now York City am
which is described at some length li
tills issue of The News by E. II
Tracy , who has just returned fron
New York , Is a most amazing instrn
ment nnd ono which forces the wor'h
to stand back and open Its eyes wltl
wonder. New York newspapers am
magazines of the country are taking
up the new Invention for dlscussloi
and nro pronouncing It to be the won
der of the nge. Dr. Thaddens Cnhll
the inventor , after working twelv
years on the plan , has brought hi
dream to reality nnd has given hi
conception to the public. There cai
be no question ns to the limitless pos
slbllltles of the instrument.
There have been wonderful invcn
tlons before but none more truly amnz
Ing than this. The Invention of th
telegraph Instrument nnd Its posslbll
tics , the making of the talking ma
chine , the producing of the almos
human linotype machine , nnd the no\
dawning sucess of the airship , hav
all been wonders In their times , bu
none more wonderful than this music
mill which , by revolving dynamos
produces any known tone and which
by the mere playing of n keyooard
much like that of n pipe organ , pro
duces a whole concert by itself.
"With these and other similar Innova
OUR that have CMIIIIO about within the
ast few jours nt the hands of the
ivontors , what may wo not expect
. Ithln the next llfly years ?
Edison stopped work the other day

AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.
Of nil the sensational story which
as been wrought from the Thaw mur-
er ttlnl , no feature stands out moro
onsploiiotiHly than the notions of the
lot her of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw. After
nvlng apparently been the cause of
er child's downward career , this wo-
i n though she seomn hardly to bo
real woman , after all has turned
gainst her own llesh and blood before
he eyes of the world and has been
lost Instrumental In blackening the
harncter of her offspring with the
ubllc. Whatever her bloodless mo-
Ive , she has succeeded , In her de
igns , In searing her own daughter's
oul with scars that must last always ,
tin ! without regard to the badness of
Ivelyn Nesblt Thaw , the action of
er mother has been most depressing.
The world generally oxpoctH a
Hither to bo a mother nlwnys , no mat
er what muy happen. Ho a child
ight or wrong , a mother Is n mother.
real mother would sacrifice all that
ho owned to shield the name of her
wn daughter from the world's nt-
acks. And there Is no more hopeful
Ign In life than the fact that , though
ho hopes they will always do right ,
, mother with real blood In her veins
nd nny but nn nrtlllclal heart beating
n 'her breast , will bo loyal to her
hlldren no matter how bad they may
10. Their wrongs and Indiscretions
vlll hurt her more deeply than they
r the world can know , will wound
ier In a way that , knows no healing ns
eng as she lives , but for all that she
emalns their mother ns long as she
Ives and forever a mother through
ml through and through.
Hut perhaps this turning against
ier daughter Is not so surprising an
ict on the part of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw's Inhuman parent. That crea-
lire bared her own character when
iho allowed the child , sixteen years
) ld , to venture Into the life that later
claimed her soul. That mother knew
ir should have known the full weight
if the risk that she was assuming ,
flint she did know nnd still consented
s borne out by this latest hint of her
infecting , unnatural bloodless self.
The attitude of Evelyn Thaw's moth
er throughout her daughter's trying
mleal , when the young woman sacrl-
Iced all for the sake of her husband
stands out vividly In the public's mind
lecauso It Is In such contrast with
what a real mother would have done
This creature's disloyalty to her
own child , after having caused the
shame of the girl in the first place
can only tend to bring out Htriklnglj
o thousands on earth the debt thai
.hoy owe to their own mothers for
hose mothers' faith and loyalty am
patience and , when wrong has beei
lone Instead of right , their silent suf
torlng.
DRUGGISTS COMPLAIN.
There Is Justice In the plea of the
Irugglsts that senate bill No. Gt In
; he Nebraska legislature should bo de
feated. The measure provides that al
medicines containing alcohol or nar
cotlcs bo labelled as "poison , " am
that the formula of all medicines be
placed on the label.
The druggists point out that to labo
all drugs containing alcohol or nar
cotlcs as "poison" would bo dealing
recklessly with the "poison" safe
guard , and that it would be tending
to destroy , In time , the present slgni
flcnnce of the term. To label al
drugs containing alcohol us poisons
would be labelling practically all pat
out medicines , of whatever sort , AIU
many preparations not included In the
patent medicines , ns poison. " A
simple cough syrup , it is said , wouli
have to be labelled poison. By nm
by the public would become immune
to the skull nnd cross bones label nm
Indifferent to the poison warning
Then havoc would ensue , for by inter
mixing poisons that would kill and
poisons that would cure , accident
would result. It Is claimed that nearly
nil preparations , for preservatives
contain some slight percent of alcohol
but the druggists claim that they are
not "poison" nnd should not be so
labelled.
Another provision , that of compel
ling publication of formula on the
label , Is considered unfair by the drug
gists. This would require a rnanufac
turlng company to give away its stocl
In trade , and most of them , who make
their livings by means of their secrets
would quit the state bcfoio they wouh
submit. But In quitting the state
they would not leave the state's bus !
ness. They would move across the
river Into Iowa nnd establish mni
order houses to sell these goods li
Nebraska. They could do that becaus
the national pure food law is com
piled with. And Nebraska druggist
would lose the profits ,
The right kind of drug uiaiiufnctur
rs welcomed the pure food nnd drug
uw It him given thnm a government
gunranteo under which they can go
o the public. Hut the national pure
oed and drug law gives to the public
he protection that Is desired. Only
ho truth must be told In labels. And
he Ingredients used must bo plain ) ;
nihllshed , though not the formula ,
The public Is entitled to the protec-
Ion of a pure food and drug law. The
iiibllc Is entitled to the snmo protec-
Ion within a slnto that Is now offered
) > the national law for Interstate
commerce. A law In Nebraska based
in the national law , therefore , would
coincide with that measure and would
Ivo the state protection by supple-
nentlng that law.
v
Just this sort of controversy , be
tween a state and the federal govern-
nent over regulations of this sort , la
Hinging the country moro nnd moro
o the Idea that centralization of law-
naklng nnd regulating must bo
ulopted. Nothing but confusion nnd
llssatlsfactlon can result from atato
nws and national laws that do not
coincide .nnd which are nt laggvr-
leads constantly.
A UNION DEPOT.
There nro vitally Important possi-
illlllea In the suggestion that the do-
lot proposition In Norfolk lie nil set-
led simply by the construction of a
inlon station on the north side of
Norfolk avenue , between Sixth and
Seventh streets. The suggestion that
Norfolk make another effort to secure
a union station , before the Northwest' '
rn builds a depot to replace the city
station that burned , Is worth serious
consideration on the part of oyory clt-
zen of the city. If Norfolk could , by
nvestlng In land for a right of way to
swing the main line tracks of the
Northwestern up town , induce that
railroad company to send all of its big
main line tralllc up through the center
of the city , it would bo ono of the
best things that the town had done
for Itself In many a year.
A union depot in Norfolk would be
worth money nnd effort. To allow
the Northwestern to rebuild the
Crclghton depot in substantial fashion
would preclude tlio Idea of a union de
pot. Now , If over , Is the time for Nor
folk to take action on the proposition.
And it would be action well Invested.
Besides bringing the main line
trains up town nnd putting all trattle
Into one center at a convenient point ,
a union station would bring the headquarters -
quarters of olllclals of the Northwest-
em Into the very heart of the city.
This might mean n very great deal to
Norfolk In more ways than one , In
time to come. By bilnging the olll
clals Into the center of the town It
would bo possible for the business
men and the railway officials to get
Into closer touch with each other , and
the location of the olllcials near the
business men would engender more
a spirit of goodfellowship , more n
spirit of harmonious co-operation than
Is possible with the olllccs situated a
mile nnd a half from the business sec
tion of the city. With the ofllcials
located in the center of the town , they
would feel more of a genuine Interest
In the city's upbuilding and Norfolk
knows of ninny ways In which this In
terest and co-operation would help the
business growth of the city.
It is now established that the head
quarters of the new general superin
tendent , Mr. Brnden , will be in Nor
folk permanently and to place this ,
with the other olllces in a substantial
union station 'would add to the ap
pearance and prebtlge of the city , be
sides making the ofllce moro of n
permanent arrangement. Those who
have come in contact with Mr. Braden -
don have every reason to believe that
he is pleased with his now home and
there is no reason why Norfolk should
not be able to enlist Ills co-operation
in this matter of a union depot , be
cause It would bo a progressive step.
Norfolk wanted a union depot when
the Crclghton depot burned. It Was
said that an effort was made looking
to that end , and the city was In
formed that there was no chance
of anything of the sort. It was
stated that the union depot could
not bo built at that time because the
Union Pacific and Omaha roads were
unwilling to join In the matter. It is
now stated by n Union Pacific official
that no such proposition was over
made to the Union Pacific. It further
stands to reason that the Union Pa
cific nnd the Omaha roads would bo
willing to unite In a project of this
sort , because the superintendent of the
Union Pacific , during a visit to Nor
folk Ins't summer , stated to The News
that his company were nt that time
figuring on building n new station in
this city.
Norfolk Is an Important railroad
center. There are rails coming Into
this city from five different directions.
Each track brings several trains ev
ery day , loaded with passengers.
There Is not a creditable station In
the town.
The Junction depot , the Union Pa
cific and Omaha road depot , and the
city Northwestern station before it
burned , have all been standing for
years and are of the typo that can bo
found in any cross-roads village of
100. ! They nro not a credit to Norfolk ,
nor to the railroads that run tralim up
to their platforms.
The city station of the Northwest
ern burned a year ago. Since then ,
because of nn Injunction case that has
been tied up In the courts , passengers
have had to use a coach as a depot ,
much like the depot that might be
found out on the reservation. During
the cold winter morning passengers
have li/ul to walk around on the Icy
platform , chilled through , because this
coach was Inadequate. It has been a
disgraceful sight nn viewed by passen
gers going through town.
And right now , before that site Is
built upon with n small station but
permanent one ; right now while the
Junction depot nnd the Union Pacific
and Omaha rend depot ( ire crying to
bo replaced ; right now when there Is
a controversy as to whether or not a
street flhould bo closed ; right now
when the city's business Interests have
reunited In an active Commercial club ,
Is the time to go after a union depot
In all earnestness and to enlist the
co-operation of the railway officials In
this movement.
Norfolk could well afford to buy a
right of wny , If the railroads centerIng -
Ing hero would , In turn , agree to build
a union station at a convenient point
which would ho n credit to Norfolk
and to northern Nebraska.
Other cities have union stations. It
Is time for Norfolk to net in the mat
ter.
THEIR.DUTY TO INVESTIGATE.
The Omaha Commercial club has
turned a somersault on the two-cent
passenger faro law In Nebraska. Before -
fore the measure was assured , the
Omaha Commercial club , through its
properly authorized executive commit
tee , passed resolutions against the pro
posed bill , The club allowed the mat
ter to stand until after the law had
been passed and become assured.
Then the resolutions were rescinded
and another resolution was passed , en
dorslng the measure which Governor
Sheldon Is about to sign. Omaha
views the two-cent faro matter from
a perfectly selfish viewpoint , and sees
added retail business by reason of the
cheaper trip Into Omaha from all parts
of the state , at the expense of the
merchants of the smaller towns and ,
consequently , the entire business in
terests of the smaller towns. Bo that
as it may , the Omnha Commercial club
has had little to do , one way or an
other , with passing the law. It would
have passed with or without Omaha
resolutions. In fact the bill was
passed as a result of popular demand
and not ns a result of any deliberate
and exhaustive Investigation Into the
merits of the case , as should have
been taken and as was taken in Wis
cousin.
The two-cent fare law In Nebraska
was passed because an agitation was
started a year ago for an arbitrarj
two-cent fare , with only the popular
Ity of reducing fares a third as Its Jus
tlflcatlon. No figures to show whether
the law was just or unjust were pro
duced , nor have they been even at
this time , though the state lawmakers
have enacted the law.
The two-cent tare may be reason
able. It may be unreasonable. There
Is nobody in Nebraska today who has
studied the matter intelligently enougl
to sny whether it is right or not. For
all the people know , a one-cent fare
or a half-cent fare , may have been our
just deserts. No legislator has gone
deep enough into the matter to set us
right on this point. They have mere
ly passed a law for a two-cent fare anc
the law's passage has shown nothing
more clearly than the desire to keep
votes nt home. Popular sentiment sail
"Give us a two-cent fare. " Popular
sentiment may have been right. I
may have been wrong. But the la\\
was passed because It meant votes
The legislature lacked courage , li
face of popular clamor , to stand up
and do its duty by the state's Indus
tries and Its citizens alike.
The Wisconsin railroad commisslpi
has just finished an investigation af
ter eleven months. The commlssioi
was appointed by Governor LaFollette
and was therefore removed distantly
from railroad Influence. Governor La
Follette said they were an unusually
strong commission. They spent $8,000
In Investigating conditions of the St
Paul road alone. Six months were
consumed In taking testimony GOi
pages of It nnd five in deliberating
The verdict was important because 1
was based not on popular clamor bu
on facts. The commission said that 1
had analyzed the business of the roads
setting apart the passenger traffic
freight , mail , express , etc. They hac
tried to separate each department so
that the just valuation might bo stood
up against the business that it die
and therefore Its earnings. After an
exhaustive investigation , the commls
sion ordered a reduction from three to
two and n half cents In fares. The
commission states that at 2 % cents
the Northwestern In Wisconsin can
earn fii per cent , on the value proper
ly set against passenger earnings
The Omaha road can earn 6 per cent
Ot a two-cent faro , the Omaha road
could earn , the commission says , 2. !
percent , nnd the Northwestern 3V per
out. on the value that ought to bo
charged to this account.
The ralliond commission says the
allroads are entitled to earn n fair
iroflt. The commission also says that
nero letters were received urging n
letter train service , more trains and
cleaner ones , with better depots , bet-
er cars , better speed , than for n lower
fare.
fare.The
The Wisconsin legislature has with-
Irawn a two-cent faro bill. Wiscon
sin has ft million more people than
Nebraska. Other states , contemplat
ing reduction of fares , owe It to their
citizens to make Just ns exhaustive nn
nvcstlgntlon as did the Wisconsin
commission , for without that , on the
*
ilt-or-mlss plan , no law enacted Is as
sured of coiiBtltulonallty In the courts.
It la not difficult to ace that a two-
cent faro Is popular. A * one-cent fare
or no faro at all would bo more pop
ular . The Outlook , a reform maga
zlne , stated some time ago that It was
equal rights and not cheaper rates that
was demanded. It reiterates the same
his week. Yet everywhere there Is
being made a demand for cheaper
rates , regardless of all else , Including
service. It Is argued that the mall con
tracts help pay for trains. Congress
ins a bill right now that is going to
reduce mall contract fees. And at
Jest that Is an illogical way of lookIng -
Ing at It , from the state's view. The
Wisconsin commission says that the
passenger business must stand on Us
own foundation. It must not bo run
at a loss , so that freight rates will be
raised and thus the merchants and
later the consumers pay In Increased
living cost , for their cheaper rides.
Secretary .7. F. Hanson of the Fre
mont Commercial club , who was here
last year , was practically hissed at
Lincoln the other night when ho urged
the state association of Commercial
clubs to be fair to all fair to railroads
as to other industries. He declared
the railroads were Fremont's most val
uable asset today and they deserved to
bo treated with the same fairness that
other Industries or private Individuals
are entitled to. Ho said that the rail
roads were entitled to an increased
profit from their risk , just as a farmer
today Is entitled to the rise In the
price of his land , for which he Is In
no way responsible excepting that he
1ms used foresight and taken risk.
And It was the same spirit that hooted
Mr. Hanson in the state association
meeting , that today has brought aboul
a riot of tearing down without time to
reason out the justice of the destruc
tion.
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul de
plores the law mania and business un
rest now on the land. He says : "That
corporations may have their .faults I
shall not deny but this I deny , that al
men are equally talented , equally far
sighted , equally Industrious ; that con
sequently all are entitled to equal In
dustrlal reward. This too I deny , that
men being as they are , society cai
never be without Its comparative ! }
rich and comparatively poor. "
The legislators of Nebraska no long
er ride on passes. The newspaper mei
of Nebraska no longer use editoria
mileage. Many others In Nebraska
are paying cash fares. The editor o
this paper paid his fare to the state
editorial association In cash and was
overcharged by the Northwestern
whose agent at Omaha refused to
grant him the promised excursion rate
on the return trip , but for all that I
would seem that the legislators of Ne
braska and the newspapers nnd the
citizens could still be capable of the
American's boasted fair play , and a
least thoroughly Investigate a condl
tlon before enacting laws which , b >
comparison with the Wisconsin Inves
tlgatlon , appear unreasonable am
which therefore only promise to the
state that the laws will probably be
killed as unconstitutional when the
courts take them up.
A Washington dispatch says thn
two-cent fare laws are the result o
railroad activity In the past in poll
tics. If this be true , all the more
should Nebraska and other states go
deeper Into the reasonableness am
justice of the matter than the some
times unjust popular sentiment.
