NORFOLK PUOPLH PLEAHED.
Everywhere in Norfollc you can hour
approval of tlio movement which has
Just boon taken looking to the oxpnn-
ulon of the city limits In the south
western part of the city. People of
the community hoaitlly believe nml
hope that this mny bo the beginning of
u Hlmllar expansion all along the line
of the city's corporate llnilla.
Norfolk biiHluoHH men'anil people
Interested In the clty'n welfare point
out that there are on all aides of the
city outlying additions containing
Hovoral hundreds of people , which
ought by any possible reasoning to
lie iv part of the city proper. North
west of the city there Is a corner , south
west , Juat south nf The Heights , south
east and east if the Junction , north-
fast In KdKi'wator park and north.
In all of these additions there nro
n good many homes and families.
These citizens nro literally n part of
the community , lly coming Into the
city they will dorlvo many valuable
lulvantagos which they do not now en
joy and Norfolk proper will lie bone-
fltocl In having Its population Increased.
A town works hard to Increase Its
population in other ways , and Norfolk
people insist that when the population
could bo so easily and simply Increased
'
ed aa In this way , no time should bo
lost In going ahead.
SHAW'S INTERVIEW.
The Interview of Leslie M. Shaw
former secretary of the treasury , is
worth while. Mr. Shaw says that wo
uhall have just what wo expect In a
llnanclal way and Mr. Shaw is right
There Is much In suggestion ; much
harm can como from unwholesome ag
itation.
At present the crops nro good , the
mines are producing wealth , prices for
all commodities are good and every
body IB busy. There Is no questioning
the financial system of the country ,
and there la no reason why prosperity
fihall not go on and on , unabated and
unhampered , for many years to come.
There will bo no check unless the
public Invites It.
Mr. Shaw says that If those who
have money in the banks draw It out ,
and the banks In turn refuse to loan ,
there would bo a check to our present
progress and prosperity.
Sanity Is needed , says Mr. Shaw ,
and sanity will prevail. The people
of this country know when they are
prosperous. They know when to let
well enough alono. They are seeking
no disturbing Inlluenco. And particu
larly Is tills true of the west , where
the farms are free from eastern debt
and where surplus dollars are piling
up In the banks year after year. The
west wns never In more prosperous
condition ; the time will never como
again when the west will know the
days of 1893. For the west today Is
the money-lender to the east.
HUSINKSS CONDITIONS.
Despite the telegraphers' strike , an
annual stringency In the money market
owing to the regular need of cash for
handling the crops , and the low prlco
of railroad securetles , business con
ditions continue nt a high point and
there are so many favorable features
to offset adverse conditions that the
present prospect Is better than the
country has known In a long tlmo.
The seasonable weather which con
tinued all last week has given the
crops another boost and the harvest
will bo an excellent one. Corn , which
started late owing to a backward
spring , has been bursting forth under
a scorching sun and will get under the
wire on schedule time. And the now
harvest of wheat shows' pretty near
ly a maximum crop , with good quality.
On top of all these favorable crop con
ditions the prices for farm products
continues high and the prosperity out
look could scarcely be better.
On the strength of this fine prospect ,
merchants are buying heavily and
factories will score new high records
for production In the east.
Despite the fact that business has
Increased all along the line , and that
the number of business Institutions
has Increased , there were less failures
last week than In any similar week
for many years. Too much stress was
given In many quarters to the Pope
receivership , as that was caused mere
ly by the money market stringency at
this time , owing to crop movements ,
rather than to any lack of business.
A STRAW VOTE.
A Chicago paper has Just made a
canvass of the middle west for Its at-
tltudo upon the presidential situation ,
as regards the republican nomination ,
and the results nro Interesting as tend
ing to Indicate which way the wind la
blowing. Among 1,700 answers re
ceived to Questions , It wan noted that
3,436 declared. In favor of n "proBrea-
lvo" candidate to Hiiccood HooHovolt ,
while among the 170 declaring for a
'oiiHemitlvo were Homo of the presl-
lenl'H HlroiiBi'Ht Hiipporlora. Theao
Intler give for their position such roil-
HOI1H IIH tlll'He :
"No pniKroHHlvo ether than Hooso- ,
veil , with hlH sanity and practical good
seimo , could bo unfi'ly trusted with hla
policies. Therefore I prefer n con
servative. "
"I do not think there In another
Hoosevelt In the so-called progressive
school whom the people would trust
as they truat Hoosevelt. A touch of
conservatism from a new man might
bo more helpful to the country than
plunges at progress by an admlnlstra
lion unable to maintain Itself under
most circumstances as the present one
does. "
"A conservative because there Is but
one Roosevelt and an Imitator would
lack his excellent Judgment. "
It was noticeable In the results thnt
there was little enthualasm for cither
Fairbanks or Hoot , whllo the majority
of those who expressed opinions , aside
from the president , himself , were hear
tily In favor of either Tnft or Hughca.
It la Impossible to say that his straw
vote carries any actual significance
with It. Straw votes are so often dis
appointing. But It Is Interesting to
note as wo go along oven how the
straw votes line up.
ENTERTAINING VISITORS.
The plan of Secretary Gow of the
Commercial club to entertain visiting
Madison county teachers with a drive
to polnta of Interest Friday afternoon
la a stop In the right direction. It Is
a movement which should meet will
the hearty approval of Norfolk am
with the co-operation of these pcoplo
who can spare their carriages and a
few hours' tlmo. Every visitor Ii
Norfollc who gains a favorable Imprcs
slon of the city will go out and adver
tlso the city's good points. Every
neglected and disappointed visitor be
comes anything but a booster. It Is
the little things that help to create
favorable or unfavorable Impressions
and efforts to make pleasant the stays
of out-of-town folk , whenever they
como , will make n different city altogether
gothor from that In which none of the
little courtesies are put forth.
It Is really unfortunate that this
commundablo plan was not thought of
before so that previous guests of the
city might have had the same pleas
ures. Hut that is all the more erason
why , now that the Idea has come out ,
the city should co-operate in Us execu
tion.
First Impressions of a town are lastIng -
Ing onus , and they count. Everything
that Norfollc can do to create favorable
Impressions will bo worth while. Ev
ery individual of the city is In part
nership with every other Individual
of the city In trying to build up the
community and to look after the com
munity's Interest. Therefore every
body ought to bo willing to help in
making tilings pleasant for the visitor.
Formality might well bo tossed to the
winds for the sake of treating well a
stranger In town.
And speaking of good impressions
It may not bo out of place to mention
the fact that a paved business street
in Norfollc Is some day going to help
wonderfully in giving to strangers n
good opinion of the town at llrst
glance.
It's the little things that count.
THE INDIAN SCHOOL.
The non-reservation Indian school ,
such as Carlisle univerlslty , will soon
pass out of existence so far as being
'cderal government schools for the ex-
lusivo education of Indians Is con
cerned , and an effort Is to bo made by
ho commissioner of Indian affairs to
[ ilaco these schools under supervision
of the various states In which they
are located , providing that Indians
shall have free tuition. And the pass-
ng of these schools will mark one
more step In the attempt to put the
redskin upon his own responsibility.
This effort Is the only logical method
of over making the Indian anything
like a good citizen , doing his share
and people who are acquainted with
the situation will endorse this move
ment on the part of the Indian depart
ment.
The non-reservation Indian schools
have become an expensive luxury
It is costly to maintain and operate
them and it Is dllllcult to Induce the
Indians to attend. With the now rate
law the government no longer secures
discrimination In half rates for these
Indians , and this Is adding to the ex
pense. Here , as In the case of soldiers
various departments of the governmen
are finding hardships In the now law.
Such schools as that at Carlisle Is
so far away from the reservations Urn
the Indians are doubly difficult to per
suade when it comes to attending
The government Is forcing Indians on
reservations to attend school , but 1
withdrawing as many props ns pos
slblo In other ways , In order thnt th
Indians may learn to depend upoi
themselves. Regarding the Indian
schools , Commissioner Leupp , who ha
Just reached Washington from a trl
over several reservations , says :
"Tho plan I have In mind is to hav
congress authorize the transfer of non-
reservation schools to the state nuth-
> rltcs ! , with a proviso that Indian
hlldren bo educated In them free of
coal. Thin would not mean that the
state authorities should provide rations
mil clothing , but tuition.
"Tho truth of the whole matter la
hat the non-reservation schools are no
onger a success , and it Is coating more
ier pupil to maintain them than It has
n the past. Wo are no longer able to
get puplla for thorn without the hard
est kind of work. Nowadays , too , It
costs more to transport theae pupils
: < > and from the the schools than It did
lieforo the rnto law went Into effect.
Wo have to pay full faro for them now
Instead of getting half rates , as for
merly. In fact the mm- reservation
schools are becoming expensive luxu
ries , and I believe It would bo a wlae
innvo to transfer them to the stntes ,
with a proviso that the states should
make no chnrgo for the tuition of the
Indian pupils.
"It may not bo generally known ,
but Dartmouth college , In New Hamp
shire , was an Indian school , and under
Its charter , Indian students are pro
vided free tuition. I would llko to ex
tend this provision to non-reservation
schools now maintained by the gov-
ernmpnt.
"Of course , should congress adopt
my suggestion , It would'nt bo possible
to make these transfers Immediately.
Wo might bo able to transfer one a
year , say , until all are put under the
Jurisdiction of the states. Of course ,
the Carlisle school would bo one of
the first to bo abandoned for govern
ment purposes , as It Is one of the most
expensive to maintain , and It la so far
from the reservations that getting the
pupils to It and sending them back to
their homes hns become a big Hem of
expense. Wo have a big and expen
sive plant at Haskell , In Kansas , which
could bo turned over to the state au
thorities under the conditions I have
outlined. "
THE PAPEH THUST.
The next trust octopus that should
command the attention of Attorney
General Uonaparte should be the paper
merger. According to present plans ,
a merger of paper manufacturing
plants Is to be formed by means of
which the ono firm will control two-
thirds of the paper product of the coun
try , and It Is now predicted thnt with
in two years print paper will double
Its present price , which will mean that
It will ninount to three times Its for
mer cost.
As ono result of the Increased price
if the price Is Increased according to
present schedule , It may bo expected
that the public will bo nsked to paj
the cost , In increased rates on news
papers. Already many weekly news
papers all over the country have added
fifty percent to the subscription rates
because of the increased cost of white
paper and the added cost in every
other department of newspaper pro
ductlon.
It Is claimed now that every print
paper , manlla llbcr , sulphite ant
ground plant In Wisconsin , Mlnncsoti
and Michigan will be taken Into the
gigantic combination. It is said Urn
ptions are now held on practically al
f the mills and it is further declarec
nit the International Paper compan >
ill within twelve months control the
rlnt paper market of the Unltec
tates. This concern was Incorporate !
ndor the laws of New York In Fcbru-
ry , 1S9S , with n capital of $118.000 000
ml will expend $30,000,000 to $50,000-
Ofl more If order to secure this con-
rol of paper rhlch It seeks. This
lonoy will go toward buying up the
hints of the middle rist.
To John G. Hanrahnn of New York ,
vho engineered the merger of the
wenty-two mills In the American
VhltliiK company and Alio thirty-two
nills In the International Paper com-
> any , belongs credit of this new west-
rn merger which is bound , It is
lalmed , to take place.
When the General Pnper company
vas dissolved by Judge Sanborn of the
United States court of appeals at St.
> aul on June 1C , 190C , the statement
vas openly made by members of the
alleged trust that the press of the coun-
ry , which had tought the so-called
trust , would regret It. This time of
egret Is said to bo In the near future ,
when the Impending deal will have
been consummated and the Interna
tional , which will then control the
print paper market of the United
States , will be able arbitrarily to fix
Its own prices.
Mr. Hanrnhan has been working on
the project for six or eight months.
It Is said that options have been ob
talnod on thirty print and fiber mills ,
most of which ahvo ground wood and
sulphite plants In connection , with a
dally output of 1,243 tons of print and
manlla paper , 420 tons of sulphite and
SIC tons of ground wood. In addition
to this , there are ten pulp mills In the
state of Wisconsin with a dally capacIty -
Ity of 131 tons of ground wood , and
108 tons of sulphite.
If the proposed merger does take
place ns it now seems probnble , the
scheme mny well nttrnct the serious
consideration of the nttornoy general's
office.
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
The country wns never moro pros
perous In all Its life than It is today
Never was there so much work to bo
done or such splendid compensation
for Us doing. The country at largo
never had occasion for moro conton
with conditions In general and indeed
ho only "unrest" of the times la til-
ectly traceable to the widespread
inowledgo of commercial prosperity
ind to a natural ambition on the part
of all to get Its full share from the
irevalent abundance.
There can bo little ground for any
contention that the country wants a
change from this present prosperity.
Ml will agree that things are flourish-
ng and that no stop should bo taken
which will In any way tend to Impair
thlB prosperity. For that reason the
following paragraph from President
Hoosevolt'B Prqvlncetown , Mass. , ad
dress should be given prominence by
the nation's wellwlshcrs and should
10 given serious consideration and
weight by all good citizens , Including
those who would Indiscriminately at
tack all corporate enterprises with adverse
verso legislation merely to gratify an
appetite for the blood of wealth :
"I wish there to be no mistake on
tills point. It Is Idle to ask mo not to
prosecute criminals , rich or poor. But
I desire no less emphatically to have
It understood that wo have undertaken
and will undertake no action of a vln-
dlctlvo type , and above all no nctlon
which shall Inlllct great or unmerited
suffering upon the innocent stockhold
ers and upon the public as a whole.
Our purpose Is to act with the mini
mum of harshness compatible with
obtaining our ends.
"In the man of great wealth who
has earned his wealth honestly and
used It wisely we recognize a good
citizen worthy of all praise and re
spect. Business can only bo done un
der modern conditions through corpo
rations , and our purpose is to heartily
favor the corporations that do well.
"Tho administration appreciates
that liberal but honest profit for legit
imate promoters and generous divi
dends for capital employed either In
founding or continuing nn honest busi
ness venture nro the factors necessary
for successful corporate activity , nnd
therefore for generally prosperous
business conditions.
"All these nro compatible with fair
dealing as between man nnd man and
rigid obedience to the law. Our aim
Is to help every honest mnn , every
honest corporation , nnd our policy
menus In its ultimate analysis n
healthy and prosperous expansion of
business activities of honest business
men and honest corporations. "
This , the most conservative feature
In the president's address , whllo a
repetition of what ho has often said
before , Is particularly Important at
this time in view of the proof which
has been given during the past year
thnt portions of the public easily mis
interpret nn administrative attack
upon illegal and corrupt capital com
binations and trusts for an attack
upon all capital nnd all largo corpo
rate Institutions.
The tone of the president's address
es a year ago was for "equal railroad
rates. " As a result practically every
legislature In the nntlon enacted laws
for , not ' 'equal" rates but for lower
rates. Whether this legislation was
justified or not has not yet been
proved , excepting by the Wisconsin
s t n t o commission's Investigations ,
which point to excess In trimming in
comes. States went Into this class of
legislation In a vindictive way , rather
than in a logical way nnd with , as
the president puts It , "a minimum of
larshness compatible with attaining
lesired ends. "
The president In his speech this
vcek renews his declarations that all
llegnl trusts and others guilty of law
lolations shall be punished. This at-
Hude will meet with approval be
cause laws are made to be obeyed
and ofllclals are elected to enforce
hem. But In order thnt Innocent
stockholders may not suffer losses ,
and In order that the country's pros
perity mny not bo checked , the presl-
lent's pledge that no vindictive action
shall be taken by him should be borne
n mind by the public at large in its
views and dealings. For the public
las only recently seen movements for
reform along certain set lines got
iway with the country and result In
llogically vindictive nctlon.
The president makes another appeal
for a greater concentration of power
in the federal government , both for
the regulation nnd supervision of In-
torstnte commerce nnd for supervision
of all largo corporations. Ho would
Imvo the federal government Instcnd
of the stntes tnke chnrgo of incorpo
rating processes. His theory Is that
those affnlrs which concern purely
ono locality mny bo handled In that
locality bit that those matters having
to do with the entire nation ought , In
justice both to the public nt Inrge nnd
to institutions themselves , to bo under
the eye of the one central government.
It Is this theory that railway presi
dents have recently been upholding ,
believing thnt less vindictive nctlon
and moro Justice would result In this
manner than nt present , now thnt they
nro open to attack all nlong the line.
TAFT'S SPEECH.
There wns no particular surprise In
the nddress delivered by Secretary of
War Taft nt Columbus , 0. , which the
secretary wns pleased to terra his
"Political Confession of Faith. " The
big wnr secretnry snld In this speech ,
though nt greater length , much the
same things which ho said a few
weeks ago when ho passed through
Norfolk. There was no departure from
the general policies which had pre
viously boon Identified with the secre
tary. It was a speech In which the
ulmlnlstratlon of President Hoosevelt
was defended against criticism , and
friends of the president and hla ad
ministration will Jlnd In the Taft ad-
ilross an expression heartily In ac
cord with their own Ideas and their
own opinions concerning the admlnls-
tratlon.
The particular feature of the speech
of Secretary Tnft which the public
wns curious to hear , because It is con
sidered to bo very much a Tnft plank
as apart from the Ideas of the presi
dent , was that portion relating to the
tariff. And In this particular the war
secretary and presidential candidate
said Just exactly what might have
been expected Just what ho said In
Hath , Me. , moro than a year ago nnd
just what ho repented hero In Norfolk
on his recent western trip. Ho de
clared himself to be , ns hns the repub
lican pnrty nlwnys been , a protection
ist. He declared himself to bo in fa
vor of levying a protective tariff cov
ering the margin between cost of pro
duction in this country and cost of
production abroad , and high enough
to give the American manufacturer a
fair profit for his out-turn.
Ho Is in favor of a revision of the
tariff In certain portions , but ho plain
ly points out that this revision should
not bo attempted at all until the re
publican party , the tnrlff's nmker and
defender , is rendy to do the work.
The logic of this nrgument Is clcnr
enough to any who recall the days of
1893 when , following the democratic
destruction of the tnrlff , the whole
country's prosperity went to pieces.
And ilie secretnry , whllo mildly do-
clnrlng thnt there are tariff duties
which ought to bo shaved to meet
new conditions , still explains what
many are pleased to term "tinkering
with the tariff" Is a perilous business
at best and thnt to wnlt eighteen
months can invite no commercinl dls-
nster.
On this point , thnt the tariff should
not bo recklessly meddled with and
particularly not by the democratic re
vision nlong free trade lines , pretty
nearly the whole country today , at
present enjoying unprecedented pros
perity , will agree.
But on the point that the repub
lican pnrty owes It to Itself as a mat
ter of expediency to pledge Itself in
favor of prompt revision of the Ding-
ley bill as soon ns the next presiden
tial election is over , there will un
questionably arise opponents of the
faith that present prosperity should
not be tampered with In so vital nn
organ as the protective tariff , lest
harm bo done. Indeed the president
himself at no distant date declared
thnt rather than run the risk of doing
unlimited harm to American business
interests , the tariff should not be med
dled with at the present tlmo. And
so there will be many to differ with
Secretary Taft in this respect. There
will be many who will concede that
theoretically certain parts in the tariff
ought to be doctojed , but who will at
the same time earnestly believe that
the practical solution of the matter
would involve many unforseen and
altogether dangerous difficulties. The
secretary thinks that It would be nei
ther wise nor safe not to pledge revi
sion. If revision Is pledged it should
be carried out. The mnttcr of wheth
er It is truly expedient , after all , to
promise to undertake so serious a job ,
In view of the country's present pros
perity and the present abundance of
work for the Inboring mnn , must there
fore be threshed out between now and
the time when a presidential candl-
dnte is put forth.
Secretnry Taft engnges In a word-
jabbing affray with Mr. Bryan to the
extent of replying to Mr. Bryan's re
peated questions as to what ought to
be ' done with the trusts. Secretary
Taft makes no effort to shy off at the
query nnd frankly admits that ho
would rogulnte illegal comblnnllons of
capltnl in restraint of trade by govern
ment injunction , and that he would
go further than thnt by ennctlng laws
to jail officials guilty of violating laws
preventing the suppression of compe
tition.
Answering the charge of President
Roosevelt's critics thnt the president
Is tending toward socialism nnd the
destruction of Individual property , the
secretary declares thnt confiscation of
property would destroy Individualism
nnd society's progress , but defends
the president's views In regard to
capital on the theory that unless cap-
Itnl Is regulated by government , socialIsm -
Ism must increase. Ho therefore
stands for such laws as will eradicate
the abuses and evils arising from the
unscrupulous uses of wealth and com
bination.
On the whole the message from
Taft , which is hla formal platform
looking toward the republican presi
dential nomination , is practically iden
tical with the policies and views of
the president , though there is not the
odor of mouthpiece about It that will
probably bo charged.
Important features of Uio address
are found In the recommendations for
amendments giving the Interstate commerce
merce- commission power to fix freight
rate classifications , giving the inter
state commerce commission Jurlsdlc-
.Ion over the Issue of stocks and bonds
n order to prevent radical actions ,
and prohibiting Interstate railroads
! rom acciulring stock in competing
lues.
Secretary Taft declares himself to
bo unequivocally opposed to the gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
gives loglcnl rcnsons.
The nddress Is a lengthy ono nnd ono
upon which It mny bo tnkeu for grant
ed much effort wns expended , since
upon the text of this speech the sec-
rctnry's hopes for the nomlnntlon must
stand.
