A largo number of wceUly nowspnp-
crs of Nebraska nml other stntcn nro
nt the present tlmo Increasing their
fiubscrlptlon rules from $1.GO to $2 per
year , nml more ouBht to do It , The
public ought to bo not only willing
lint glad to pay what the homo weekly
newspaper la worth , nntl If It Isn't
worth $2 n year It Isn't worth anything
nt nil. When they unilorHtnnil the
situation , the rending public will un
questionably uphold the country pub
lishers in Increasing their rates.
The first point that ban made an
Increase necessary has been the sternly
nml very rapid advance In the prlco
of the whlto paper upon which news
papers nro printed. Paper has gone
up about 100 per cent within the last
couple of years and It Is said that
within a short tlmo the prlco will bo
triple the former cost. A * ft result
many newspapers nro Issued today nt
nn nctunl loss. Asldo from the In
creased cost of paper , the Increase In
the cost of Inlc , machinery , labor and
in fnct every component part of n
paper , must bo taken Into the account
ing. There Is nothing strange about
the fact that subscription rates have
been advanced In many places.
WANTED INVENTORS.
A glance over the want columns ol
the dally papers of today Indicates
nn enormous number of appeals for
help to every one looking for n job
The farmer Is crying for help , and
can't get It ; the trades nro all crylnt
out and In vain for men to do the lab
or that Is piled up ; nml BO It goes the
world over. All of which Is a goo (
sign for It marks prosperity. But tlu
world begins to nsk what Is going tc
come of us. And , necessity being tin
mother of Invention , wo nro led to th (
belief that everything will work on
In tlmo through the process of now
labor-saving machinery.
Some yenrs ngo labor resented tlu
Introduction of new machinery to en
nblo ono man to do the work thnt uh
men used to do ; but the roscntmen
was without justification , as Is showi
by the fnct that today there are a hal
dozen Jobs for every man.
The Inventor must come to our res
cue. The world at largo might rui

Already they are starting , as Is showi
by the announcement that a iow inn

operated by ono person , will send ou
1,000 words n minute over n tolegrnpl
wire and cnuso the message to bo so
up on a linotype machine nt the otho
end of the wire. Electricity does 1

Perhaps electricity nnd the Invcn

do some of the work that Is overburd
entng man.
VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
The Saturday Evening Post for las
week prints a solution of the hlgl
freight problem with which farmers
products have to meet under presen
conditions. U Is a solution which 1
within the very hands of the farmer
themselves.
The Post comments upon the fac
that Texas farmers have recently petll
Honed the legislature of that state t
reduce freight rates now being chnrg
ed by the railroads. The article thci
opens up the way for farmers burtler
ed with excessive freight costs.
Good roads Is the solution suggcstc
And it is a solution worth consldci
ing.
ing.The
The Post contends that It costs a
much money to get farm produce fror
the farm to the railroad station as I
does to carry the load to Its destlni
tlon , under present road handicaps.
For instance , it has been compute
that It costs twenty-five cents to hni
one ton one mile over the average ron
To haul n ton six miles Is $1.50 an
the same load can be carried from No'
York to Chicago for that.
It Is pointed out that n comparative
ly slight expenditure on Improving tli
public roads would reduce this co :
very materially.
In other words , by making bettc
roads , the farmers have It within the
own power and without any red tap
to reduce the freight charges now b
ing assessed against their prqducts 1
hauling them from farm to town.
If this road hauling cost could t
cut In two by the building of pormai
ently good roads , many millions <
dollars would bo saved annually t
the American farmer.
ASSAULTING THE UMPIRE.
The barbarous assault upon a has
ball umpire in St. Louis because of
disputed decision , was worth sllgl
comment in the press reports bocam
assaulting the umpire has become tc
commonplace an incident to contal
uiy extensive news value. Had the
referee at n Yalo-llarvani fqotlwll
Knmu been probably fatally wounded
iy Hportators because of n disputed
mint , the papers and magazines would
oiiHlder the event worth many pages
) f doHcrlptlou and photography. And
n this contrast lies food for thought
imong Americans who would that the
iiUloiial game should go on nnd pros-
Her.
Her.Tho
The rowdyism which chnrnctorlzcs
the treatment of nn umpire nil over
the country nt baseball games , bo It
enguo or amateur , has come to bo as
much a national disgrace as the gatno
Itself has como to bo the national
pastime. Some years ago the game
of baseball was very seriously threat
ened in thlo country by the corruption
that crept In to It. Only by radical
reform was the game rescued from nn
untimely nnd disgraceful grave. The
orgnnlzntlon of n second major league
broght the game and Its management
to their senses.
This umpire habit today Is almost
as serious a matter. In football , In
tonnls , In rowing , In shooting nnd in
racing thcro is none of this rufllnn
spirit mnnlfcst which marks the
bleachers' treatment of an umpire. It
Is a disgrace that any community , lot
alone the whole wide country , should
allow Itself to so far forgot Its man
ners as to reduce the American na
tional game to the level of the street
brawl.
MOKE TRUTHFUL CITY LIMITS.
Norfolk people will take satisfaction
In the fact that an energetic committee -
too from the city council has been ap
pointed for the purpose of Investigat
ing the matter of expanding Norfolk's
legal limits to points where honest
and upright city limits for Norfolk
ought to bo.
There Is every reason In the world
why Norfolk's legal limits should be
expanded BO as to conform with the
real limits. There Is no real reason
why the legal boundary should keep
ou lying about the genuine limits ol
the town any longer. For yenrs the
egal city limits have made Norfolk
appear to bo a smaller city than 1
eally Is , nnd have been the cause o
sending false reports out to the worh
at largo , through the federal census
u regard to the size of the city's popu
iitlon.
The tlmo has come when the Norfoll
city limits ought to bo made to tel
.ho truth about Norfolk. It's onlj
lustlco to Norfolk.
There ought to bo no objection fron
any quarter to the readjustment o
.Units which Norfolk's rights demand
It Is only fair that people doing busl
ness In the city nnd making their Ih
Ings from the city , but who chanc
to reside just outside an Imaglnar :
line , should pay their share of th
taxes necessary to Norfolk's main
tenanco.
And more than that , the pcoplo Ih
Ing outsldo will gain very materially
[ > > this expansion. For when the clt.
limits go out the luxuries of a city
water , sewer , lights , sidewalks , fir
protection , cheaper lire Insurance , po
lice protection and any number o
other benefits will go to those peopl
now shut off from these prlvllloges.
It Is tlmo that we should haveclt1
limits that will conform with the city'
limits.
NORFOLK'S FEDERAL COURT.
What might have seemed to man :
like a federal court term rcsembllni
a largo sized lemon when Norfolk'
annual session was opened and ad
Journcd within two short hours , ma ;
oven yet take on sugar and devoloj
Into a delicious plum for the town an (
north Nebraska. It Is not fair to judgi
Norfolk's future federal court by thi
first session held under the now lav
for the reason thnt no grand jury hai
convened since the law went Into el
feet , to ludlct prisoners for trial li
Norfolk. Between now nnd the nex
is annual session , in September a yea
hence , grand juries will have met am
it brought indictments which , in turn
will have to bo tried in Norfolk un
less , for ono reason or onothei
changes of venue are secured.
As it Is understood now , all crlmlnn
id cases arising In the Norfolk dlstric
of federal court , in which indictment
have been brought , must bo tried li
Norfolk unless , it being shown that ;
fair trial could not bo had hero , i
change of venue is granted. Sine
most people would prefer being trio
In their own localities , thcro seem
reason to hope that when Norfolk *
next federal court term rolls arounc
with grand juries meanwhile brlngin
Indictments , there will be n real docl
In et of criminal cases booked for th !
city.
city.Tho
The trying of civil cases in Norfol
apparently depends altogether upo
the attorneys of northern Nebrask
who have federal court cases. In
civil case , If the attorneys fc
the defense are not ready fc
trial when the Norfolk court sei
slon Is held , a change can bo takci
with the consent of the plaintiffs , t
some other term at some other tlm
and in some other place. For that rei
son Norfolk must depend nbsolutel
upon her legal friends in this dlstrk
f any civil canes nro to be tried out
ore. And no an Inducement , It may
o Hinted right here that Norfolk will
oeply and sincerely appreciate the
ffoitB of any northern Nebraska at-
ortioyH along this lino. If these at-
ornoyn having civil CIIHCH In federal
ourt will BO decree , all cases arising
rein this district may be tried In
Norfolk.
It IH to the interests of both at-
ornoys and litigants that these cases
hould bo tried In Norfolk. The
United Stales government hns cstnb-
Ishcd court hero In order thnt court
night bo brought closer to the lltl
gants , saving them long journeys to
he southern part of the state. The
expense of coming to Norfolk Is much
ess than In going to points many
nllos down state. And Norfolk will
try to inalco the visits of these nttor
leys nnd litigants plcnsnnt while they
nro hero. What more could any city
lo ?
If the attorneys of northern Ne-
> raskn will take nn Interest In this
nutter , n first rnto federal court can
10 established In their midst. It Is up
to the lawyers altogether. Norfolk
awaltH upon their pleasure nnd will
appreciate their efforts In her behalf ,
ncldentally it would bo to the benefit
if litigants.
Norfolk's federal court will not bo
a lemon , after all , If northern Nobras-
< a attorneys will Inject the sugar into

WIDI3 AWAKE TILDEN TOWN.
Tim merchants of Tlldon , Neb. , nro
lot lying awake nights worrying about
the day when Chicago catalogue
IOIIHCS will have wiped them off the
face of the mercantile earth. They
have adopted a more philosophic and
easily n more effective method of
meeting foreign competition. The Til
den plan Is worthy the serious atten
tlon of the merchants of every other
town In the middle west which must
depend to a large extent for Its bus
iness prosperity upon an agricultural
region.
Instead of scolding the farmers around -
round them for sending money away
from home for catalogue house mer
chandise , and Instead of declaring that
the catalogue houses are frauds , the
merchants of Tlldcn go about It to
really do something for their farm
friends to show the farmers that
their patronage Is appreciated nnd to
make those farmers really want to
como Into Tlldcn whenever they have
a spool of thread or a kitchen range
to buy.
The Tlldcn merchants recognize the
fact that the personal element Is ono
of the most powerful factors In busi
ness success nnd thnt to get Into closer
touch with their patrons creates a
more Intimate friendship and results
In piitUal oenefit all the way around.
And so on one day ot each year the
business folk of Tllden entertain everybody -
body living within Tllden's territory
at a great big Joyful festival. It Is a
haudshnklngfest , n picnic royal In
which everybody in the town and
everybody from miles around takes
part. And the results are pronounced
first class.
It Is not a street carnival , this big
picnic. Tllden has n fair and carnival
earlier In the season , but that Is an
altogether different matter. This pic
nic Is just n social session between the
business people of the town and their
customer friends of the community.
The merchants and business men act
as hosts on this particular day and the
friends from out in the country are the
guests of honor.
Some days In advance the Tllden
people send out big posters which in
vite everybody within range of n good
many miles to come lo town on picnic
day and enjoy themselves. Free en
tertainment of all sorts Is announced ,
free refreshments are a feature , there
Is speaking in the opera house In the
forenoon nnd horse races , baseball ,
foot races and other things of equal in.
terest In the nfternoon. The dny
winds up with a great big grnnd denv
ocratlc dancing party at night where
everybody dances with everybody
eso's wife , and pleascure and good fel
lowshlp reign over all.
Next Monday the second annual pic
nlc under the Tllden plan will take
place. Already its success as a picnic
Is assured , and there is more than jusl
a picnic at stake. The people of Til
den will become better acquainted
than ever before In their lives with the
friends from surrounding terrltorj
who have farm products to dispose o ]
nnd winter wants to fill.
In some towns of the middle west
the merchants have adopted a plnr
of getting together and driving oul
over the rural routes to visit the farm
ers In their homes. Better feeling be
tween merchant and farmer has re
suited from that plan. But the Tllder
method has even greater possibilities
for under the Tllden idea not only th (
merchants and business men of UK
town , but farmers and the farmers
wives nnd children ns well got a dnj
off for a little recreation nnd enjoy
mcnt.
The best part nbout this plnn Is tha
It Is not a money-making scheme. I
is just ono fine large wholesome get
togethi'r-vori'ln which makes every
body like everybody elno In the com
munity n little bit better than he did
before1. i
And an a result It In safe to predict
that rural carrlorH around Tlldon will
carry a IC.IH number of catalogue house
packages than they otherwise might.
Thin IH true for the simple reason tlmt
the people living around Tllden , after
having been brought Into closer touch
with the Tllden business folk , find
lhat It's n pretty good sort of town nf-
or nil nml that they're nn ngrccnblo
ot to do business with. It's much
lore plcnsnnt nnd more satisfactory
o buy things thnt you can get a look !
t before you pay your cash , and from |
cople who are your real friends and
(
.vhom . you really like , than lo send
way for things you never saw , from
icoplo who have no more Interest In
our welfare than they have In the
icathen Chinese.
The personal element must come to
10 ono of the vital factors In saving
he mercantile business of the small
own and the Tllden plan , working for
he mutual benefit of both farmers nnd
iicrchnnts nnd giving them nil a dny
f friendly elbow bumping ono with
nether , deserves serious consldern-
Ion by other towns similarly sltuntcd
n the middle west. And nil towns In
ho middle west are similarly situated
io fnr ns thnt is concerned.
FOR DOUGLAS AND JENCKES.
Republicans of the state will bo
glad to know that , according to Infor-
nation which reaches The News from
overal different parts of the Fifteenth
udlclal district , the party's Judicial
lomlnces there , Douglas and Jcnckes ,
lave nn excellent prospect of being
tlected In November if the republicans
if that district will stand solidly and
mrmonlously together toward that end.
, Vlth nn energetic campaign and the
olid party vote in November , the re-
mbllcan Judicial prospects In that dls-
rict are said to bo better than ever
before.
From Alnsworth , where there exist-
d some sentiment because of the al-
.eged attempt of the west end of the
illstrlct to get both nominees , comes
ho good news that the feeling of re
sentment has practically died away
and that republicans of that vicinity
will give their united support In Nov-
mber to the party nominees , Douglas
and Jcnckes.
Whatever of feeling there was in
that section during the few days fol-
owlng the primary , was based , it
would appear in nnnlysls , upon iioth-
ng more nor less thnn thnt very vital
fault of the primary law which courts
selfishness In the population centers
and which is apt to throw Into the
densely populated localities the state's
political power. Fortunately the feelIng -
Ing In the Fifteenth Judicial district
has now given way , following a
philosophical analysis , to party loyalty.
But while the matter Is fresh In mind ,
the situation In the Fifteenth Judicial
district Is ono which affords peculiar
food for thought among the people of
Nebraska who had thought that the
primary would mark the Ideal in pol
itics.
The Fifteenth Is a very large Judi
cial district so large , In fact , that it
requires two judges Instead of one.
Both parties have always recognized
the wisdom and the justice of selecting
ono judicial candidate from the west
ern end of the district and ono from
the east. According to the primary's
Ideals , this arrangement would come
under the head of "political trading , "
nnd would carry in the minds of mnny
theorists , a taint of corruption. Yet
oven the most ardent friends of the
primary in the Fifteenth district are
ready to sincerely defend this custom
as not only a wise but an eminently
fair distribution of office among the
two ends of the big district And some
of these primary friends around .Alns
worth were among the republicans wh
resented the fact that the primary law
had almost worked out as its framers
Intended it should in doing away with
any previous ' ' understandings , ' '
"trades , " or deliberate distribution of
political office according to geography.
Ono loyal republican at Ainsworth ,
who is a friend of the primary in spite
of this Inequitable fashion in which
It might work , writes to The News
and would defend the primary from
any guilt in the matter of bunching
candidates , attempting rather to blame
the voters for taking advantage ol
this opportunity that the primary
throws open to them to select all can
didates from the populated center. For
although that was not done in the
Fifteenth , it was the alleged effort tc
do it in the west end that created dis
satisfaction in Brown. This is what
the correspondent writes :
Alnsworth , Neb. , Sept 1C. The
headline artist artist on The News was
only partially right a week ago when
ho declared that the primary election
had disrupted the party In Brown. The
dissatisfaction that existed , and still
exists to a certain extent , did not grow
out of the primary per so , but out ol
a failure on the part of the republicans
in the western part of the district tc
respect the old custom of nominating
one candidate from the west nnd one
from the east. Their votes went large
ly to Jenckes and Porter and If thej
had hud the strength that lies east ol
Valentino , both of these men might
have been nominated. However , in
the main , this temporary resentment
has piiHseil over and the great ma
jority of republicans will give honest
and hearty support to Douglas mid
Ji'iiches , the party nominees.
Since the Fifteenth judicial republi
cans have victory within their gasp
this year If they will only stand to
gether , It Is to bo hoped tlmt this year
of all years they will unanimously and
energetically support the ticket , and it
would appear that absolute harmony
should prevail , since the nominations
have been divided up between the east
and west ends , and since the only com
plaint expressed anywhere was over
nn alleged effort to bunch the candi
dates , and since no such effort was
successful.
But the point brought out AS to the
unfairness which might bo worked by
the primary , is clear. Under the old
convention system , where men of the
district got together nnd talked things
over , It wns readily conceded to be
the wise and fair thing to glvo one can
dldato to the west and one to the cast
end. Members of both partl'es rccog
nlzcd the policy nnd the justice of this.
But under the primary men don't get
together to talk things over. That is
an "evil" which the primary wipes out.
Members of the parties just go into
the ballot box , vote for the men they
consider best , and withdraw. Wisdom
from a party's viewpoint and fairness
to various geographical localities do
not enter In the balloting.
The primary shakes off such cor
ruptlng elements. For the primary Is
boastlngly no respecter of geograph
leal localities or "understandings , " and
least of all Is It concerned with party
victory or party wisdom. If we nro
to cnre for such things ns fnlr dlstrl
button among various sections , or for
any particular regard as to party wis
dom or welfare , wo will have to look
for some other system than the 1m
personal $200,000 per year primary.
THE PRIMARY A SUCCESS ?
In speaking of the new primary law
in Nebraska , the Madison Chronicle ,
which believes that the primary law
has holes that need remedying but that
the convention system Is a thing of the
past , says In part :
The statewide primary was neither
a surprise nor a disappointment to
those who have had their ear to the
ground. That there would be a light
vote polled was expected. There was
no Issue at stake which Interested the
people. They were satisfied to let
the other fellow do the nominating just
as ho has been doing under the con
vention system. In spite of this fact
wo do not believe the primary law a
failure by any means. Many people
throughout the country forgot to vote.
There can be little doubt that the
primary was both a surprise and a dis
appointment to people of Nebraska
who placed full confidence In nil of the
claims made for the system In advance
by Its framers. According to the
claims made by the primary law's en
thusiastic advocates , the nomination
by means of the primary would be an
absolutely fair process , devoid of any
disadvantages for one candidate over
another aside from personal strength ,
and it would be a nomination made
by "all the people. " In the face of
these promises , what but surprise and
disappointment could result when it
was shown , by a practical demonstra
tion of the primary that instead of
being a fair test , the man whoso name
was first on the ticket by reason of
alphabetical order had a tremendous
and most unfair advantage over other
candidates ; and that instead of making
nominations that represented the people
ple , the nominating power of the state
was taken away from the country dis
tricts and thrown into the thickly popu
lated centers ? And that "many people
ple throughout the country forgot to
vote" was shown conclusively in the
returns , while the cities voted with
almost normal strength.
The Chronicle says that a light vote
was expected ; that there was no issue
at stake to interest the people ; and
that the people were satisfied to let the
other fellow do the nominating Just
as he hus been doing under the con
vention system. But the Chronicle
adds that "the people can be depended
upon to turn out when questions of
policies affecting their welfare are to
bo decided. "
The Madison county clerk says that
the primary election in Madison county
cost the taxpapers about $1,000. Yet
despite the fact that this extra $1,000
burden has been thrust upon the people
ple of Madison county , nnd despite the
fact that the vote was light and that
people were willing to "let the other
fellow do the nominating Just as under
the convention system , " the Chronicle
docs not see whore the new system
has proved a failure.
The Chronicle probably would not
bo willing to spend $1,000 for a new
printing press if , upon trial , that press
| was found to produce no better re
sults in any way , and not so good in
many ways , as the old discarded and
Inexpensive machine that had been
pushed aside to make room for the new
luxury. Such an investment would
almost bo termed a failure. For th
same reason the taxpayers of Madison
county , who will have to pay the $1,00
r for the recent primary , which is ad
t mlttcd to have produced no bettor re-
ults than under the old way , will just
bout size up the now luxury as n
allure not.
It would bo nn nntoundlng fact , in-
leed , If Madison county taxpnpcrs
hould bo forced to keep right on pay-
ng out a big lump of cash year In nnd
onr out for the snko of maintaining
n expensive and complicated nomlna-
Ing system whoso only result , except-
ng when stirring Issues roused publlo
ntorest , would bo that the pcoplo
hould "let the other follow do the
laminating as under the old convcn-
Ion system. "
As a matter of fact , In seasons when
hero are vital questions of policies af-
'cctlng the public welfare at stake ,
everybody will turn out nt a caucus
ust as strongly ns at a primary elec-
ion. And furthermore , it must bo
borne in mind that under the old
caucus system where neighbors got
.ogether from all parts of the county
o talk things over and listen to
oratory , there was more enthusiasm ,
nero patriotism , more ginger and moro
ssucs aroused than can ever be the
case under the silent primary.
There can bo no question but that
.ho great masses of people can , under
.ho old fashioned but Inexpensive
caucus system , take hold of politics
ind name the candidates for every of
fice to be voted on , if they will take
ntcrest enough In the matter to attend
.ho caucuses. Few would contend
.hat the nomination of Governor Shel-
Ion last year was not the result ot
ust such deep-rooted public sentiment
springing fiom every nook and corner
of the state. And so , If the primary
aw is to glvo us nothing more than
the convention system of nominating ,
ind not so much In some ways if un-
ler the primary we are to pay out
imbllc money year in and year out
with no genuine Interest in it except
ing during periods when the public
pulse works overtime because of vital
issues at stake ( periods when , In fact ,
the caucuses and conventions would
ring with enthusiasm from every
highway and byway ) ; if the state of
Nebraska is to go on paying out $200-
QUO per year as a mere matter of waste
money to maintain a complicated sys
tem that is nice in theory but which
has never been worked out satisfac
torily by any state to date , why then
the tax-payers of this state might as
well put that $200,000 per year down
in their jeans and repeal the primary
luxury.
For surely a nominating system
which will work out only in a year of
excitement , when the convention would
equally fill the bill ; a system which
adds a big burden In taxes to the
state without giving the state Its f
money's worth In return , could hardly
be termed anything but a failure , from
a practical viewpoint.
