If Secretary Taft should bo nominat ed for president , Norfolk could log ically claim to have been the birth place of his real boom. Though Oma ha seeks this honor , Norfolk Is finally entitled to It ahead of Omaha. Nebraska was the flrst state to en dorse Taft formally. Tnft recently vis ited Nebraska. At that tlmo it may be presumed that sentiment was start ed In his favor , which resulted In the Tnft paragraph In the Htato platform. And Norfolk was the llrst city In Ne braska to receive the secretary , the first In which ho nmdo a set speech. Secretary Tnft passed through Nor folk twice , stopping hero and address ing a crowd. Ills only other formal speech In the state was at Omaha , that night. In case ho should bo nominated , Norfolk , as the llrst city to bo for mally nddresHcd by him In the first state to endorse him , would occupy a rather unique position. SIOUX CITY MILK. The people of Norfolk began dis cussing the need of protection against tubercular milk long before the people of Sioux City , Iowa. The agitation for such protection against death has been of recent origin In the town across the river. Yet In Slonx City nn ordinance providing for the proper Inspection and protection has Just been Intro duced in the city council whllo the matter In Norfolk has met with no olllclnl sanction whatsoever tip to date. It would appear that the health of Norfolk people Is not taken so serious ly as the health of Sioux City people. Hut those Norfolk people who have had experience say that the loss of a relative by tuberculosis or the loss of a tiny babe by just such diseases as arc traccnblo directly to Impure milk , is just as heartrending us similar deaths In Sioux City. If this matter is of sufficient Import ance to bo taken up officially In Sioux City and other towns , Is It not Import ant enough for Norfolk's attention ? The milk ordinance in Sioux City requiring a closer Inspection of all milk sold In the city , with the object of enforcing the state law and doing away with diluted , Impure and Inferior milk , was Introduced at a council meetIng - Ing this week. The ordinance creates the office of a city malk Inspector nt a proper sal ary , for the purpose of strictly enforc ing the state law regarding milk sold in the state. Inasmuch as milk dealers them selves point out the demand for such protection for the public against Im pure milk , it would seem that the sent iment of Norfolk people Jn this matter is entitled to some consideration. ATTORNEYS GENERAL. After reading the criticism offered by President Roosevelt to Senator Bur- licit last Saturday regarding the Ne braska republican plank declaring in favor of a constitulonal amendment which would prevent federal courts from issuing injunctions to refrain state officials from enforcing state laws , it is rather surprising that the attorneys general of a number of states in their meeting at St. Louis should pass a resolution the purpose of which is to take away from the federal court < just the authority commented on by the president. For it is apparent in advance what the piesldent must say. The president declared the other day that when the powers of the fed eral courts are limited , the end of civil liberty will bo marked. And so it Is not apparent Just how these state at torneys general could hope to rccoivo any support from the president In their efforts to curb the federal courts from exercising Its powers in protect ing any litigants from state laws In a fair way of being found upon test in the United States supreme court to bo unconstitutional. The attorneys general would pre serve power for themselves. They would have state legislatures tie up wicked or unpopular citizens or groups of citizens and then allow the attor neys general to apply the lash without any interference from the hand of the federal court. It would make no dif ference whcthe * the punishment were earned or unjust , as viewed by the federal constitution ; the lash would keep right on until the case had had time to be tested by the highest court in the land. The attorneys general nro also draft ing plans for moving in solid phalanx against trusts In all states. They are eager to prevent President Roosevelt from placing the power to regulate all business , state or Interstate , of inter state concerns , in the hands of the federal government. Yet , if the interstate commerce commission - mission had the power to go after a trust whether it were a state or Inter state violation , it would appear that the result would bo much surer than with forty-six different states whackIng - Ing away In forty-six different whys. In union there la strength , and the public would fnro better by concen trating this authority In the hands of the federal government. Hut then , the state attorneys gener al , as well as state officials In other branches , would lese some of their power. And politicians who can now swim Into office on a wave of promising to batter this or that Institution would bo relieved of their fangs. RELIEVE ROOSEVELT'S WORD. Senator McCumbcr of North Dakota s quoted in a Washington dispatch as eclarlng that unless Roosevelt makes nothcr statement refusing positively .o be a candidate , ho will bo named n the first ballot. Nebraska rcpubll- ans have more regard for the slncer- ty of President Roosevelt's past as- ertlons In regard to the third term natter , than has the North Dakota .talesmen. . And it is probable that If ho president does make any more itntenionls In the mntler ho will make hem Just as postlvo as those that : invo gene before amply postlve , as , hose ought to have been , to remove my doubt as to his lutegrlly In past declarations. Nebraska republicans the other day nlldly endorsed Taft. In this they Hit themselves on record having Inv pllclt confidence In the word of Roosevelt - volt when ho declared on the night of clecllon lhat ho would not accept another nomination under any condl- lons. Nebraska republicans have too sincere a regard for the president's character to believe for one moment , as apparently does Senator McCumber ; lmt the president Is flirting with the political game. Considering the president's state ment in the past , the Fremont Trl buno says : "Nebraska republicans imvo come to realize lhat his refusal is meant to stand. Nothing has con firmed their belief In lhat more Ihan Iho avowed candidacy of Secrelari Taft. The fatter has made announce ment of his candidacy. That ho has ilono so with the approval If not at the solicitation of the president , can not bo doubted. Then It must follow that Roosevelt will not under any clr cumstances become a candidate. " Thcro arc three classes of people trying to force the president to go back on his word. There nro flrst the officeholders who would bo rcappolnt ed by Roosevelt. Second , there are the political candldales who , realizing Roosevelt's popularity , would like chance lo roll Inlo office on his land slide. And Ihere are , third , the dem ocrats who would like nothing better than a chance to attack the integrily of Ihe republican candidate and the party , by virtue of the fact lhat Roosevelt volt had once declared ho positively would not accept and had then aband oned his word. They would argue tha Integrity in small things signifies in tegrily in all things , and they would use it as a mighty campaign Issue realizing that there are many who agree with the president In "tho wise custom which limits the president to two terms. " Nebraska republicans nre in favo of seetlng their opinion down tha Roosevelt means what ho says. WHY NOT A CORN PALACE ? Pretty nearly every city of the mid die west makes a success of some gl gantic fall festival , after the harves season , continuing for a week or so The hub of a vast and fertile region Norfolk Is ideally located for just sue ! i festival. At Mitchell , S. D. , it is th corn palace. At Omaha It is the Ak sarben , at Sioux City Ihe inlerslat fair , at Lincoln the stale fair , at Sioux Falls a big fall festival and so on iown the lino. In New Orleans ant other cities of Iho south the Maril Oras festivities servo to bring nun Ireds of thousands of people togethe luring Iho week preceding Lent. Ant this festival came from Paris. There would seem.to be little reason .vhy Norfolk should not undertak some fall festival of this sort enlarge large scale on a scale never cquallec n this territory before. The race mee ind street carnival hero In the sum mer tlmo fill a niche , and have com ' .o be Indlspenslblo. but the same race uid the same attractions also go t nine other towns In the territory , s that there Is not enough In the wn of exclusive and gigantic attraction to Induce the tens of thousands of pee pie from the northwest to leave thel work and come to Norfolk. It woul seem that If some extraordinary fea ture , such as the Mitchell corn palac with high grade attractions like Soi sa's band , could bo established her and operated after the harvest Is nl done , so that people would have tlm to leave the fields , a great event fo northern Nebraska as well as Norfol would result. The products of northern Nebrask land could bo hero exhibited , a full blooded live stock show of gigantic proportions could bo a feature , and besides that there could bo high grade and exclusive nltracllons worth while , it would servo ns n great week in which northern Nebraska folk could shako hands with their neighbors. At Mitchell this last week the corn pnlnco , which serves as a splendid ex ample of what might be done , great ! crowds were seen. On Thursday spo- | -Inl ' trains took H.OOO people Into the own. It was the greatest day the orn paloco over Haw. Sousa's band laycd to Iwo magnificent audiences , ftcrnoon and evening. At Sioux Falls next week a fair and ostlvnl will be held. Innes hand , n cal airship and n baseball tournament will bo the chief atlractlons. Innes nd his band will give concerls twice day. Norfolk has n good many conven- Ions during Iho year , but they are omparatlvely small. Ten thousand coplo came to Norfolk a couple of weeks ago to see a circus. They came rom -100 miles west , at Clmdron , and hey came from Dallas , 150 miles northwest on the railroad , and from ho prairies oven beyond that. They md a good tlmo and wore glad they amo. It had boon fifteen years since o largo a circus had been seen hero. The northwest had waited for flfleen years lo have a good tlmo In Norfolk. And the question naturally arises , Why should not Norfolk provide n fos ival equally as attractive as the cir cus , once each year ? Why should not Norfolk bring to the northwest n royal good tlmo annually , for which the northwest now makes a long , long ourney lo Iho Omaha Aksarbcn ? The venture has proved successful n other cities. Norfolk has more en ergy and more llvo wires than any other city of its size in the country , And it has the grealest expanse of tributary territory , whoso citizens mve a right to be entertained , of any city of Its size In the United Stales. Why not a corn palace or some other form of fall festival for Norfolk ? Why Not ? MILK INSPECTION. Norfolk people are not alouo In sup porting the government's movement toward checking the spread of lubcr culosls and other diseases through hn pure milk. Agitation of the subject has brought the mayor and council men of Sioux City to the point of en icling an ordinance which will pro vide for milk Inspection and the pas tourlzation of all milk sold In Ihe city The dairymen of that city , as in Nor folk , welcome such regulation am such protection for both themselves and customers. The very knowledge that many dairy cows have tubercu losls Is enough to make any commit nlty desire protection against the spread of this disease , as well as many another , Into their homes by means o milk. This is what the Sioux City Tribune says of the situation there : Leading dairymen and creamery men of Sioux City are strongly in fa vor of the proposed city ordinance re quiring a close Inspection of milk sol < In the city and the pasteurization o all the milk sold. This ordinance seems lo coincide nicely with the ideas of the belter local dealers ii milk and cream. Mayor Sears stated this morning tha ho thought such an ordinance is of the utmost value to the city. He has no doubt that milk Is being sold dally in the city which was unfit for use no only because it has far less than a proper percentage of butter fat , bit is often contaminaled with poisonous preservaltves such ns formaldehyde. "Such an ordinance will receive my undivided support , " said Mayor Soars this morning , "and I do not think any of Ihe aldermen will oppose it. " "I am heartily In favor of the clly'i taking a hand in the Inspection of mill sold in the city , " said Mr. Gear of th firm of Pile & Gear , dealers in mill and cream , 417 Jackson street , "ant I also think that all the milk dealer should be compelled to pasteurize al Ihe milk Ihey sell. This will insure Ihe public against any possibility o germs , and can be done at no grea expense. Pasteurlzallon will also sav the expense and trouble of inspecting the cows. "Wo handle both pasteurized an unpasteurized milk , and I could easily show you Ihe purity of pasteurize ! milk as compared with the other. O course to compel all the milkmen t pasteurize their milk would cause then a lltllo expense and trouble , but If i did become necessary to charge mor < for the milk , it would be far boiler ti pay more and be sure of good quallly "There Is no doubt but thai som very Inferior and diluted as well a contaminated milk Is sold In this city and this should be remedied. All th dairymen could bo easily visited one- - a month by the inspector and a tes of their milk made. " "I think the dairymen would no object to such an ordinance , " said W Pile , of the same firm , this afternoor "and wo would be doing no more thai many another city. A milkman toh mo this morning that he was willing to put in a pasteurization machine th moment the law required it. " "All milk sold in Sioux City shoul be pasteurized , " said Frank llutchln son , of Hutchinson Bros , company "and a city ordinance requiring it an providing an Inspector is what w sorely need. All that Is necessary In pasteurization is to heat the milk t 1G5 degrees and Ihen instantly cool II This Is easily done , and It Includes th entire process. The ordinance has m ; support. " As was stated In The Tribune yes terday , City Attorney Sargent con ferred with Jacob Huffman , stale mill Inspector , yesterday regarding th' ' drawing up of such an ordinance , am these two men will meet again thl week lo draw it up. City Physician G. J. Ross believe the Inspection a good thing. He say lhal ho knows absolutely lhal ther nro bul three otil of fifteen or twenl ) dairies In Sioux Clly lhat are furnlsl ing whole milk. "Many milkmen have told mo. " h said , "that they were forced to ndttl terato Ihelr milk with water In ordo to make a living profit. I favor th enforcement of a law that shall com pel dairymen to furnish pure milk nn I wish to see it strictly enforced. " AROUND TOWN. The Now York plo makers have nlned the price of plo. Perhaps they Itlnk they kneed the dough worse linn anybody else. A Norfolk woman feels rather hurt o think that after cooking for her usharid for twenty-two years , ho Is atlsflod lo eat at a restaurant. What has become of the Norfolk oy who used to toll us thai up on Iho leak of a hill west of town Is the rnvo of nn Indian and that If you Mult the grave at midnight and ask ho Indian what ho wants , he will say lothlng at all ? The weather man is lee scientific to 10 a genuine baseball fan. Ho has . \vlco knocked out the Slurgcon-Mnpes slugging match and they're going to ; ol oven by not playing. The Slanlon fair has emerged from ho equinox , boiler limn over. Ever slop lo think how much a sin- sore "thank you" really means ? Don't toll your troubles lo Iho po- ice ; they" have troubles enough of their own. Yes , curfew should ring. If he wore In Norfonc , would Ham- lol make any such Insinuating remark about Denmark ? The city council is said to be study ing up on astronomy. A "star" inves llgalion is lo bo held Monday night. Last summer several dancing bears In Norfolk were jailed. What will happen when the Elks and Eagles be gin lo shako Ihelr feet ? The hay fever crowd has found Its way out of the weeds. And Ihcy slood a good deal for Ihe sake of Iho corn. Jack Frost has given the fly-away sign to Norfolk Hies. A word to the files Is sufficient. Norfolk women say they know before fore Iho season begins just who wll win the card party prizes this wlnler Like everything else , the price for wickedness has gene up In Norfolk Police court bargain rales arc declared off. The lime lo be bad was lasl week Why Is It lhat a girl , in walking along the slroel , always looks Inlo Iho sloro windows and Ihen , by means o Iho reileclion , adjusls her hat and hair ? On the day that a man slips a cog and falls to shave , he Is sure lo bo vis Ited by unexpected friends by whom he would not for worlds be seen in thai condition. Pierce Call : Attorney Hnzcn of Norfolk was "joshing" Fred Free Tues day on sporting a new suit every time district court convened. "Down in Norfolk , " said Mr. Hazen , "wo lawyers yors make a suit last two or three years. " "You refer to a law suit , " was the reply of Mr. Free. The clients of Norfolk attorneys arc said to get very old and bald headed waiting for their cases lo bo brought to trial. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. No one can get fat on a laugh. No man ever told another all his secrets. A guest , like a fish , will spoil will three days' keeping. We would as soon slap a woman as shoot a dove. No man has all the wisdom in the world ; everyone has some. They talk about the cranberry mer chant being busy , but did you ever see a woman when she was making cat sup ? In the fall , the bilious in you begins to assort itself. Hero Is a chance for some man to make fifty million Collars In a few minutes : marry Helen Gould. Woman is never made vain by woman ; that is man's work. There is no sweetness in the smile thai smiles alike for everybody. A revivalist always carries his pic ture to have It put In the papers. Ago fills out and rounds off a man's nose ; but the older a woman gets , the sharper her nose becomes. A round-shouldered man is of great use In a community , for the sight of him makes others straighten up. When a man says to you , "I want to show you something , " Iho something ho shows you is seldom interesting. Don't fight the shams of the world lee seriously ; the sham will wear you out , and live long after you are dead. A strong man Is sometimes influ enced by a weak woman , but a strong woman is never Influenced by a weak man. Every man knows how mean ho is himself , but Is not perfectly sure about his neighbor ; hence his fondness for gossip. Nothing makes a woman more an gry than to bo asked to chaperon a crowd of girls , some of whom are older Ihan she Is. Have you one friend In Iho whole world whom you would bo willing lo hear everything you have said about him to his back ? SIX MORE WEEKS WILL COM PLETE THE BUILDING. OTHER BUILDING OPERATIONS The Day of the Boxl.ir Depot In Nor folk Is Soon to Pass Work on New Church and High School Progresses. New Phone Company Home. The day of the box car depot on Phillip nvonuo IH soon to pass. IJy December 1 the Northwestern will bo in their now uptown passenger depot.

It must be completed by December 15. Fine New Church. North of the city the handsome church homo of the St. Paul congre gation Is going up. The roof trusses nre being put in place and save for the tower the main brick work has been completed to the roof lino. It Is estimated thai al leasl six weeks will bo required to complete the build ing. High School Work. Appreciable progress Is being made on Norfolk's now $ -10,000 high school building. Contractor Vaien , however , has had lo do some extra work not contemplated in the contract and it is doubtful if the big building Is com pleted by January 15 , the contracl limit. Over three months remain though and rapid progress has been made on the building during Iho pasl few weeks. The building Is already up one slory above Iho basement. WEDNESDAY WRINKLES.
