HUYAN'S PUT.
Ami now they tell us tlint Bryan's
government ownership pel refuses to
Hloop. The government ownership
league of Nebraska , which will ho re
called as mi organization formed uhont
a your ago to further the achomo
liuincheil by Bryan In his Madison
Square Garden speech , refused to mib
nlilo na It ought to , now that Mr.
Urynn has nbnmloneil the liloa no nn
ImmoiHato Issue , antl It la wild that
there Is promise of a prolty wnnn
wrangle among democrats of thostato
when It coiuoa tliuo to send delegates
to the nntlonnl convention.
Edgar Howard and aomb ot the ether
or otaunch meinliora oC this league nro
i aid to Insist that government owner
Hhlp nuiat bo pressed ns nn Iminedlnto
Issue.
And whatever the outcome of this
local squabble , It Is apparent that , an
Henry Wnttorson jiredlcts , Bryan's
nomination will carry with It the
necessity of constantly trying to de
fend this Indefensible dream.
NINTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
Republicans of the Ninth jndlca
district of Nebraska are particular ! )
fortunate la having as their represent
atlvo on the bench at the present time
n jurist who has Riven such omlnen
satisfaction to both bar and public
regardless of party alllllallons , that li
all of this dlstilct not one word Is
heard against him , either for notnln
ntlon In his own party or for clectloi
lit the November polls.
Judge A. A. Welch of Wayne was
appointed last spring by Govcrno
Sheldon to Jill the vacancy mused b >
the resignation of Judge Iloyd , who
resigned to tnUo his seat In congress
And such excellent satisfaction has
ho given on the bench that his electloi
to a regular term has been demandci
by nil. Seldom Is such unanimity o
approval expressed for any man.
Judge Welch must bo nominated a
judge for the regular term beginning
In election and the first of the year
There are two blank spaces on th
primary republican ballot In which t
vote for him.
It Is hoped that republicans of th
Ninth district will make It a point t
go to the primary to vote for Judge
Welch , nnd thus , by a mighty vote ,
roll up the compliment which the
party owes him for his excellent ser
vice.
LOOK INTO PAPER TRUST.
The public nt largo , because the pub-
Ho nt largo always pays the freight
In the end , will hope that a report
from Washington is true In declaring
that n sharp eye Is being kept on the
now paper merger. The department
of justice Is said to bo watching the
combine with eagerness nnd an Inves
tigation Is promised , oven though only
to establish the legality ot the com
bination.
It Is snld that Washington officials
nro surprised at the boldness dis
played by the paper people nud there
may yet bo some rny of hope for news
papers nnd their readers that the
threat of the old paper trust to cause
regret over former agitation by the
public press with regard to the com
bine , will not find Itself nblo to bo
carried Into execution.
It is said that Attorney General
Bonapnrto will soon take up the ques
tion nnd It will bo sincerely hoped thnt
a thorough search for Illegalities will
bo made.
For some years the entire country
hns been scratching Its head In a vain
effort to seek out some effective meth
od by which to prevent Just such trusts
na this paper combine. Perhaps the
auccessful preventive nnd the airship
will come together.
UNIVERSITY REGENTS.
Republicans will nominate two can
didates for regular terms as regents
of the state university , at next Tues
day's primary election. People of
northern Nebraska are particularly In
terested In the candidacy of George
Coupland , a farmer living near Elgin
who would go into the ofllco with n
through knowlego of the needs ol
greater development agricultural edu
cation. Northern Nebraska republl
cans will unpuestlouably give to Mr
Coupland a cordial vote a big enough
vote , It Is to bo hoped , to Insure his
election.
Besides Mr. Coupland there are two
candidates for the republican nomlu
ntlon as regent. One Is A. S. von
Mansfeldo of Ashland , the other IB
Charles B. Anderson of Crete. 01
these two It Is probable that Dr. von
Mansfeldo of Ashland will find the
greater favor because his past oxper
lenco , as compared with the past experience
porience of Mr. Anderson , makes him
the more desirable candidate.
Mansfelde Is a well knowc
Dr. von
hyMclmi and pltmoor of Ashland. Ho
UIA for many yearn boon In close touch
vlth the University ot Nebraska and
ui been very vitally Interested In Its
vi-lfnro by the reason of the fact that
i HOII and three daufiliterH graduated
mm the Institution. It will bo recall-
d that about a year ngo Ills only son ,
Charles von Mausfeldo , a promising
oung attorney of Omaha nnd a mighty
Inc youni : man , was accidentally
Irowned near ABhland.
Mr. AndorHon , on the other hand ,
invlng been Interested In Crete and
ho growth of Us Instllutltma , has
mturally been somewhat prejudiced
nliial the slate university In favor
of Dorine college.
The position of university regent la
i payless one at best. It is Important
leennao the welfare of the university
> f which Nebraska Is Justly proud , la
closely Identllled with the board of re.
gents.
I/ioklng to the best Intercuts of the
state , northern Nebraska republicans
will probably do their share toward
nominating Mr. Coupland and Dr. von
Mnnafelde.
ANOTHER "SCOOP. "
The story of the lynching of Murderer
doror Hlgglns near Bancroft Mondaj
morning was carried to people residing
throughout northern Nebraska am :
southern South Dakota In The Norfoll
News Just twenty-four hours before It
could poHsIbly reach them In any other
newspaper. Thla lynching was of Interest -
torest throughout this entire section
because people of the northwest were
familiar with the story of the dual mur
der for which Hlgglns was to have been
tried , and because nn Incident so
startling within northern Nebraska Is
of prime Interest to the whole terri
tory. The fact that this dispatch was
curried throughout this territory by
rim News ahead of all other papers
only emphasises what la done every
day by this newspaper with nil of the
Important news happening between
midnight nnd noon.
In this same way every day The
N'ows gives to the northwest the Chicago
cage nnd South Omaha livestock and
grain markets twenty-four hours ahead
of all other papers.
Other striking Instances of this abil
ity to beat nil other papers , by virtue
of location , were shown when The
News gave to the northwest twenty-
four hours nhcnd of all other papers
the cablegrams announcing the fall
of Port Arthur , the story of the Slocum
horror In Now York , the story of San
Francisco's destruction by earthquake ,
the story of Edward Rosowater's sud
den death and hundreds upon hundreds
of other less important events , Includ-
ng scores of news happonln'gs of lo
cal importance In north Nebraska and
southern South Dakota. Indeed , the
loublo murder for which Illgglns has
low been lynched , was given to this
vholo territory twenty-four hours car-
lor In The News than In any other
mper.
It Is little wonder that The News cir
culation is growing.
THE BANCROFT LYNCHING.
Mob violence Is deplorable from any
viewpoint. Little glory redounds to
community from a lynching. But
jack of a lynching it Is sometimes an
easy matter to lay all or most of the
jhuno for the mob violence upon the
failure of the law to properly punish
for crime.
It Is deplorable that a mob of
masked men should take Murderer
[ Ilgglns from the sheriffs and hang
111 in to a bridge. It was more deplor
able that Illgglns should have slain
two Thurston county citizens. And
most deplorable of nil is the condlton
of Indifference to murder which has
recently swept over the country , nnd
whoso effect has been to turn loose
altogether too many a man who should
have suffered the law's penalty for his
misdeed.
Frank Brink of Ponca must accept
a great share of the responsibility for
this lynching near Bancroft. Hlgglns
should have been hanged In a legal
manner. Ills crime was appalling.
But ho paid two penalties for his
crime the one with his life , the other
with mob execution. This mob fea
ture of Illgglns' punishment was added -
ed to this man's career to oven up for
the lack of any punishment meted out
to Brink. The lost confidence In the
law's justice and Infallibility , charge
able to the Brink trial-farce at Ponca ,
spurred on the mob nt Bancroft to
take no chances in the case ot Hlg
glns.
glns.At
At the time Brink , who murdered
Bessie Newton nt Ponca , was acquit
ted on the "brainstorm" plea nnd was
sent to the state Insane hospital as n
part of the farce , despite the fact that
ho never showed the slightest sign of
insanity , The News pointed out Uiat
It was Just such disregard of the law
as this that led to mob violence. And
the forecast has proved , In the Hlg
glns case , to have been only too true.
Thcro has lately been too much dis
regard for the wanton taking of human
life. Murder has run riot to such an
extent that society must at last rise
up and protest with force. The law
has become altogether too lax In treat
prisoners who have slain fellowmen -
men and too many Billy provocations
ire accepted by Juries as Justifying
ihn human slaughter.
Much has been made of the "unwrit
ten" law. The written law that "thou
shall not kill" has been too lightly
locked up In the drawer. Perhaps
such n Jolting as this Bancroft affair
may tend to bring the law to Its
sensoH. Mob violence IB deplorable.
A community In which the mob has
hanged a man feels that a stain has
been put upon Us record. But much
more of a disgrace , much more deplor
able Is the failure of the law to mete
out punishment to the Honda who
wantonly take human life.
COUNTY REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
Whatever the outcome of the Tues
day primaries , Madison county repub
licans will enter the fall campaign
with a strong ticket. There Is nothlny
ahead which will mar harmonious cc-
opurntlou for party success nil nlonu
the line. There nro contests for nom
Inatlona In only two of the count )
olllccs In the republican primary
There being two candidates for tin
nomination of sheriff nnd two for the
nomination of treasurer. In all otlici
Instances , only one candidate for ar
olllco will appear on the primary bal
lot and the primary vote In these In
stances will bo merely a form of rail
llcalion.
For the republican nomination of
treasurer , E. B. Hnnsen of Tlldon nnd
Frank A. Peterson , present deputy
county treasurer , are candidates. Both
are well known republicans nnd both
have many friends throughout the
county. Whichever Is nominated and
each has made a clean campaign the
party will undoubtedly be ready to
stand solidly behind.
For the nomination of sheriff , the
present incumbent , .1. J. Clements , and
Fred Gcgnor of Madison are candi
dates. Both nro nnd have been for
years prominent In the county nnd the
party will take pleasure In supporting
at the November polls that ono who
IH declared the choice of the majority
at the primary.
George 10. Richardson , the present
very e/llelent / county clerk , will bo
renomiiiatcd without opposition , as ho
deserves.
Christopher Schavlnnd , who retires
from the office of county treasurer ,
has been made a candidate for county
judge by petition nnd will be nominat
ed with no opposition. Mr. Schav-
land's excellent record In the treas
urer's olllco prompted his friends to
file a petition making him a candidate.
Frank S. Perdue , who has made an
unusually capable county superinten
dent , will have no opposition for re-
uomlnatlon.
W. II. Field , having served the coun
ty well as clerk of the district court ,
, vlll bo renomlnated without opposl-
lon.
lon.P.
P. W. Ruth of Newman Grove has
been tried out and found not wanting
ns a deputy assessor. He will make
faithful assessor. Ills nomination
by republicans will be without oppo
sition.
Dr. Homer L. Kindred of Meadow
rove , who is coroner now and who
, ms given satisfaction In that office ,
will have no opposition for renomina-
tion.
tion.C.
C. F. Etseley and George C. Lam
bert will have no opposition for nomi
nation as justices of the peace , nor G.
F. Bilger for constable.
In the November election neither
ounty Superintendent Perdue , Clerk
of the District Court Fields nor Cor
oner Kindred will have any opposition
so that they are ns good ns re-elected
right now.
Neither party will have a candidate
for county surveyor.
THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP.
The most Important nomination to
be made by republicans of Nebraska
at the primary election next Tuesday
will bo that for supreme judge. Two
candidates have been placed in the
Held and partisans of both have been
aggressively waging campaigns In be
half of their favorites. But the day
will shortly bo upon us when the
selection of ono or the other as a can
didate on the republican ticket to be
placed before the state's voters In
November , must bo taken from the
hands of the partisan campaign man
agers and made by the rank and file
of the party. And after carefully
studying over the situation , there ap
pears to bo every reason to believe
that the rank and fllo will nominate
as their candidate the present chief
Justice , Hon. H. Sedewlck.
The two candidates whose names
have been placed before the republi
cans of Nebraska for the coming pri
mary election are M. B. Reese and
Chief Justice Sedgwlck. Judge Scdg-
wick now occupies the position of chief
Justice of the Nebraska supreme court.
Ho has filled thnt office honorably and
well. His service has brought credit
to the state. Ho Is a man broad-guag-
cd and eminently fair , a judge who
has carried to his ofllco the dignity
and the impartiality of a common
wealth.
The News Is not personally interest
ed In either Justice Sedgwlck or Judge
Reoso. The News bolloves , further
more , that the selection of a member
of Nebraska's supreme court Is a mat
ter that ought , not to be Influenced by
the selection of this man or that. The
odlce IB 'too Import' ' t to allow a few
office-seekers to till It , and It Is time
for the rank nnd file of the party to
take the matter Into their own hands.
The News has no fault to find with
Judge Reese. This paper expects to
support whichever ono of these two
judges shall bo chosen by republicans
of Nebraska as their standard bearer.
But this paper has failed to find In all
of this lire-primary campaign the
slightest possible reason why Justice
Sedgwlck should nt this tlmo bo
turned out of ofllco.
It hns been mild that certain office-
seekers have thought that they might
bo benefited by the nomination and
election of Judge Reese , nnd thnt In
this personal ambition there was furn
ished the motive for putting forth n
candidate to oppose Judge Sedgwlck
nnd to try to force the present Justice
out of office. Judge Sedgwlck hns
preserved during nil of this campaign
the calm dignity thnt belongs to his
olllco , nnd no utterance as to the nom
ination has come from him. His
friends and admirers from over the
state filed a petition calling upon him
to make the rnce , confident that his
past excellent service to the party and
state nt largo will be rewarded by the
toner of a rcnomlnntloh.
It Is not enough that a few office-
seekers , through selfish hopes that
they might be benellttcd by appoint
ments in case they succeeded In de-
( losing the present chief Justice , should
ittempt to mnko this nomination for
the republicans of Nebraska. It Islet
lot enough that one olllco-scekcr , now
boasting thnt he created two United
States senators in Nebraska , shoult
ittempt to depose the present chief
justice in order that his boasts mlghl
bo carried still farther In the claim
that he created n supreme judge , ns
well. The big question before the re
publicans of Nebraska is the fitness of
candidates for the offices which their
friends seek for them , and no good rea
son has been presented hi this cam
palgn for turning out of olllco a juris
so eminently qualified to fill a place
on the supreme bench as Chief
Justice Samuel II. Sedgwlck.
Judge Sedgwlck ought , by all thn
Is fair and consistent to be renomln
ated next Tuesday.
TO HELP BUILD UP THE TOWN
In many cities clubs are being form
ed for launching campaigns to In
crease population of those cities
Spokane , for Instance , has a " 150,00
club , " Los Angeles has a " 200,00
club , " and Long Beach , Cal. , has a
" 50,000 club. " Norfolk might reason
ably organize a "G.OOO club" or a " 10
000 club , " if It chose , and perslstentl
go after such a goal before the federa
census of 1910. The first step In thl
direction , of course , would be to ex
pand the city limits to their prope
places , so that nil citizens living prac
tlcally In Norfolk today but technical !
outside , could bo counted. And th
next move that could be adopte
might be an organized effort towar
buying Norfolk products whereve
Norfolk products are available. Sue
movements are being carried on I
other places with good effect. Omah
Is after 200,000 people with such
basis as this for Its growth. Norfol
today has a number of manufacturing
Industries producing articles which
are used daily by the general public.
If everybody In Norfolk would make
a pledge to buy Norfolk goods wher
ever possible , the number of people
employed In Norfolk plants would be
materially Increased , and the city's
growth would take on a new Impetus.
Such a campaign is just now being
waged In Spokane. Concerning the
movement there , a Spokane paper of
recent date has this to say :
Letters were mailed yesterday to
Spokane housewives urging them to
purchase none but Spokane-made
goods where such are obtainable. This
was the opening gun of the "homo
Industry campaign" of the 150,000
club , which will bo waged ceaselessly
from this time forth , $330 a month
having been subscribed to this movement -
ment for the ensuing year. Signs
bearing the legend "Money Spent at
Homo Means Prosperity , " and urging
that the public Insist upon the "Mado
In Spokane" label adorning all pur
chases , are being placed in all street
cars and painted on bill boards
throughout the city. The following
letter will bo sent to every residence
In Spokane :
"Dear Madam : During the B. Y. P.
U. convention windows on the princi
pal business streets of Spokane con
tained exhibits of the Industries and
resources of Spokane , accompanied by
a big card bearing this inscription :
" 'What Makes Spokane Grow ?
This Helps Some. '
"But there is ono other essential to
the growth of Spokane that can not
bo overlooked and that depends upon
the housewives. You can help make
Spokane grow If you scrupulously ob
serve your duty when making a pur
chase , viz. , buy only Spokane-mado
goods when such are obtainable. You
will readily grant that , everything else
being equal , you should patronize the
homo Industries In prefernco to those
f other cities. The money thus in-
esti'd remains In Spokane nnd will
ic utilized to develop this nnd other
ndustrles of this city. It will mean
arger and more numerous factories ,
mployment for more men nnd an en-
mnccd value for your own property.
"It is a simple matter for you to In-
ulre , when making n purchase , for n
rand of the desired article that is
mdo In Spokano. Ono very good way
0 determine whether the brand meets
his requirement is to observe If it
cars the 'Made in Spokane' label ,
vhlch adorns this letterhead. This is
oming into more general use every
ny and will eventually bo used on
very product of Spokane factories.
"Within a few days I will mall you
1 little pamphlet containing a list of
Spokane Industries , which I trust yon
vlll carefully study and thereafter
bear In mind when shopping.1
The letter Is signed by Fred 'II. Gas-
on , secretary of the 150,000 club.
FOR CONTINUED PROSPERITY.
A number of Now Yorkers. Includ-
ng several millionaires , are reported
o have recently made a rush to either
sell their automobiles or to cancel
orders for new ones. It is said that
hcso machines represent a value of
15,000,000 and that the sacrifice
amounts to $7,000,000. This Is but
ono of the Incidents ono of the dra-
natlc Incidents of the recent so-called
'rich man's panic" which has swept
over Wall street nnd the result of
which was seen In the sensational
dropping of stock values. One west
ern paper , in commenting upon this
Wall street slump , tersely remarks
that the west Is Independent nnd Is
taking care of Itself without regard to
the financiers on Wall street ; that , In
other words , western automobiles nro
lot for sale at second hand sacrifice
sales. And while this is true to a
nrge extent , it must not , at that , be
forgotten that the prosperity of one
section of the United States is , after
all , closely linked with the prosperity
of all other sections and that the gen
eral business welfare of the whole
nation will be best served by a con
tinuation of healthful commercial con
ditions In the east as well as the west ,
In the north and In the south. The
country today Is like one man and the
country is In the pink of health when
the heart , the lungs , the stomach , the
brain , the nerves in fact every re
gion and every organ that is a factor
In the community as a whole , Is In
hearty condition and performing its
share of the labor of progress.
That course , therefore , which will
best tend to preserve the nation's pros
perity Is the course to whch the coun
try In general will glvo most ready
welcome and most cordial support.
Just what that course Is may perhaps
not bo fathomed without some serious
thought on the part of thlnkng people.
But Interviews and speeches which
have been issued during the past week
Indcate very strongly that there Is se
rious concentration of gray matter
upon present business conditions just
now , and that all sections are eagerly
trying to reason out the logical way
In which we should go , lest the path
way lead off from the general prosper
ity route.
According to all available sources
of information , there has never been
a time when the country's prosperity
should continue with more smoothness
than now. Crop conditions are good ,
factories are busy , and all commodities
are bringing good prices. It has been
pointed out in many ways that the
recent Wall street flurry will In no
way be reflected outside the street
But nevertheless the flurry Indicates a
condition of unrest and that unrest Is
apparently duo to continued agitation ,
unquestionably sincere on the part of
some but purely the shouting of dem
agogues on the part of others , regardIng -
Ing business conditions of one sort
and another. And , while the country
Is unquestionably better off for some
of the agitation that has been let loose ,
it Is probably equally true that there
is a limit to this sort of thing which
the country must regard and beyond
which we can not go without gravely
endangering present prosperous times.
Indeed Chicago business men and
others representing the west are quot
ed In a Chicago newspaper as believ
ing that , while much good has come
both for corporations and people In
abolishing rebates , etc. , the time has
como for caution and for calm delib
eration In matters governmental. West
ern business men , according to this
newspaper , while endorsing things that
have been done , now practically join
in the opinion that past violations of
laws which for years were not enforced -
forced , should not now bo punished.
The government should glvo the pub
lic to understand , say these represen
tative business men , that In "tho future
all laws shall be enforced to the letter ,
but that for the sake of Innocent stock
holders and for the sake of the coun
try's general prosperity , past sins
should bo wiped off the slate.
With new standards and new con
ceptions as to what Is the law and
what ought to be the law , argues the
west , there should be a now deal and
a now game. Wo should begin over
again.
The effect of the enormous flno
against ono company upon the stock
-
,
innrket , Bending ninny values down to
unknown low points , has had Its alarm
ing effect upon many stockholders and
Investors nnd money hns become can-
tloiiB lest It get stung. It Is nrgued
that If all companies now bo punished
for sins of the past , under former con-
dltons , many will In future be driven
to bankruptcy nnd thnt , while wo mny
stnnd aside now and declare It Imma
terial , would bo a highly undesirable
end , all things considered.
The tendency of the day appears to
bo heading In toward more conserva
tism. Inevitable results of reckless
agitation and "muck raking , " however
good Its motives may bo , are becoming
more apparent and the general public
Is asking for a halt. Wo want n
breathing spell. A strong pull has
been made , and there should be a
moment for resting on the oars. For
much of the 'agitation of the past year
has been popullstlc , anarchistic and ,
wholly dangerous. Prosperity has '
thus far withstood the attack. But
there cornea a limit And much that IB
termed reform In polltcs might bettor
bo left undone than to go too far for
ho country's good as a whole/
