Annauiicoinc'iit of tlio restoration of
tlio dully freight ncrvlco between Nor
folk nntl Columbus on tlio Union Pa-
clflo railroad ciuno aH a tnattor of
HatlHfactlon to Norfolk business men
nnd to Tlio NOWH. Tlio speedy restora
tion of the dally train Is something
of an Indication of tlio prosltlgo which
Norfolk business men have with that
railroad , through the amount of busi
ness emanating through these business
m on.
When It was announced that the
train service would bo cut In two , The
NOWB suggested to the Norfolk Com
mercial club , through the secretary ,
that a vehement protest should bo
made at once against reducing the
Bcrvlco. The Commercial club took
the matter up Immediately with the
state railway commission nnd a day
later the Union Pacific telegraphed
that the dally train had been restored.
The quick restoration Is something
of a feather In Norfolk's cap and It Is
certainly cause for satisfaction nil the
way around.
JUDO13 WILLIAMS' EXPERIENCE.
Northern Nebraska will come before
the republicans of Nebraska at the
coming state primary election with a
candidate for renoinlnntlon as a mem
ber of the now state railway commis
sion. Judge .1. A. Williams of Pierce
county , who Is now serving his first
term on tlio commission , and who has
earned the confidence of the state of
Nebraska , will be presented for re-
nomination and re-election , and there
is every reason to believe that his
candidacy will be successful.
There nro many reasons why Judge
Williams should bo renomlnated and
re-elected. In the first place be has
served well the people of the state
during his llrst term. And in the second
end place , the experience which he
lias gained during bis llrst term is a
valuable asset for the state so far as
future railway commission service Is
concerned.
All of the knowledge necessary In
the administration of the affairs of a
state railway commission , which haste
to do with the thousands of deeply
complicated and intricate problems of
public service corporations and their
rates , can not be obtained in a day
or a year. It is therefore highly Im
portant that the experience gained
during his first term belongs to the
state , though it is embodied In him
as the state's agent. It is therefore
of Importance that the state make use
of this asset in future commission af
fairs , by continuing Judge Williams in
ofllce.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
One hundred and seventy-six years
ago Saturday a baby boy was born In
the United States. And it Is highly
significant that Ills birthday today , n
century nnd two-thirds away , Is loyal'
ly and Impressively celebrated by the
American continent. Flags continue
to wave above nil this nation on Feb
runry 22 of each passing year. Every
year on that date the ninety millions
of people join In paying tribute to the
memory of that American. Banks
close , governmental offices that car
close , shut down for the day , and the
stars and stripes are flown out to the
breeze to do their share In emphasis
Ing the Influence that still Is felt In
every nook and corner of the Unltet
States as a result of that birth.
That baby boy became known as
"the father of his country. " He was
the principal factor in the founding o !
a great government. He was a mar
of high character and Integrity as wel
as great good Judgment and courage
a man In every way fitted to remalt
la the honored niche which he has
occupied in the life of America fron
those days to these.
The great feature for congratulatloi
In the tribute that continues to b <
paid to George Washington even a
this late date , lies In the genuine pa
triotism which It brings out.
Without patriotism no governmen
can endure. And there can be n <
doubt of the patriotism of American !
when , 17C years from the date of tin
birth of the first president , havlnf
been preserved throughout nil tin
ages of the career of the United Statei
regardless of other paramount matteri
of thought In the people's minds , tin
memory of that man Is still cherlshei
by all of the people.
A NICE STORY-BUT UNTRUE.
It Is reported that W. N. Huso Is lay
Ing plans to become Norfolk's post
master at the end of John R. Hays
second term. It Is reported by sonn
of his friends ( ? ) that the icason W
N. Huso aspires to go to the natlona
convention from the Third district li
to give him a "pull" with the nex
president to land the postmastershlp
The two re-ports , reaching this ofllci
at about the sami unu , make a nlct
llttlo story , but for the sake of Keep
Ing history straight it must be statci
that It Is not true.
why W. N. Huso should not bo a can
didate for the postmnstcrshlp In Nor
folk than any other republican who
liaa given conscientious support to the
party for nearly thirty years , the last
twenty of which have been spent in
Norfolk , but the facts are ho Is not
today nor never will be n candidate
for any salaried political oillco within
the gift of the party. Never but once
was ho touched with nn Itching to hold
ofllco , and that was the postolllco before -
fore John R. Hays was appointed ,
riila matter , however , was amicably
adjusted between Mr. Hays and Mr.
Huso nnd the former received his ap
pointment with the hearty support of
the latter. Mr. Huso will not bo the
successor of Mr. Hays nor will ho bo
a candidate for the place. Ho expects
to hnvo a job the remainder of natural
llfo In developing The NOWB.
Ho always feels It a compliment
when ho Is selected to go to a conven
tion to represent Madison county In
the councils of the party ho supports ,
nnd ho will take It as a greater com
pllment If ho Is selected to represent
the Third district In the national con
ventlon which will nomlnato the next
president of the United States. To
bo a delegate to a convention , how
ever , Is nil ho has over asked of the
party and all ho expects to ask. Others
may have the offices that bring eruolu
ments and ho will gladly help them
got them.
THE FRENCH IN MOROCCO.
Instead of getting out of trouble , by
every move which Is made In Morocco
France seems to bo worse off than
before. The disaffected tribes who
have revolted against the sultan under
the leadership of Moulal Hnfld are
constantly Increasing in strength nnd
power. The French government re
fused to recognize this pretender nnd
In retaliation he declared a holy war
against all foreigners In the vicinity
of the French posts. This has made1
he conditions in Morocco very exas-
icratlng and embarrassing for the
Drench.
In order to stamp out this war with
ho Moors "the French organized a
campaign Into the interior of the
country. But -when they came to con-
end with the Moors they found the )
ivere up against It greatly to their own
liscomflture and they were obligee
o retreat and seek reinforcements.
Of course , it Is the purpose of the
French to bring these savage and tur
inlent tribes to terms and every civ
lized nation will certainly hope for
their speedy success. Meantime It is
already evident that the occupation
of Morocco is an experience for the
French and they may well wish they
were out of It.
On general principles these half civ
lix.ed , decrepit and barbarous peoples
along the coast of northern Africa
liave run their race. In the Interes
of a better humanity they must be
taught to respect modern Ideas of In
ternational equity and Individual re
sponslblllty. If they are to live Ihey
must awaken to this fact even by the
stern arbitrament of the French
sword. If not , they must make way
for others who will.
It Is the Inexorable law of the cen
turies that the price of continued In
fluence for nations or for men is to
keep in the van of progress and help
push on the great forces which make
constantly for enterprise , brotherhood
and liberty.
Savagery must give way to civiliza
tion , brutality to gentleness , sloth to
Industry or the Moorish tribes join
that Innumerable caravan of peoples
and nations which are forgotten and
abhorred the sooner the better.
OWNING A HOME.
One of the most unfortunale condl-
lions of life which oblaln especially
in Ihe great cities of this country to
day Is Ihe large number of people who
live In houses which belong lo some
one else. It is a very popular thing
. to occupy a "flat , " If convenience and
comfort are sought. Besides the more
well to do , who live Ihus , there are
thousands more who live in tcnemcnls ,
Nolhlng can bo more discouraging
and tempt to dissipate thrifl and self
respect than this manner of living , re
gardless of how many modern con
veniences It may bring.
There is tremendous value in the
ownership of a home. It has been well
. said "there is no man so valuable as
the located man. " The possession of
a spol of land nnd a dwelling which
s
"this is ours , " is a testimonial of per
sonal confidence In the future and an
earnest desire of self determination tc
make the most of life.
Homo and the ownership of it stlui
ulntes endeavor in n thousand and one
ways , which will never be felt where
one lives under a roof owned by some
one else and causes that spirit of In-
illative which Is one of the most vnl
uablo asserts of life to grow and
develop.
When a man owns a homo ho feels
as if ho had something which helps
him to measure up to other men. It
gives him something definite to care
for nnd In the beautifying of It and Its
upbuilding ho adds n largo amount
of juy to the struggle for oxlbtcnco.
That man is a bolter father nnd bus
band who can fce-1 that ono llttlo spot
of earth is his by the Jletlnct right
of possession , than ho otherwise could
be. The children born in such a home
grow up with a love nnd a veneration
or It ; they nro happier and more con
scious of the fact that Individual oxer-
Ion nnd endeavor In n very practical
sense means something.
The owning of a home counts large-
y for good citizenship. It compels a
nan to care for the Interests of his
city nnd his ward and good roads , side
walks , parks , boulevards , schools ,
churches and economy In public mat
ters and the development of his local
ly become great and Important ques
tions to him. It makes him an ally
of good government.
It Is n matter that history makes
note of. The most prosperous and
progressive nations of the earth nro
Ihoso which arc the most thickly
populated with homo owners and home
builders. The people so situated are
the most contented and the most peace
ably Inclined toward the world at
largo. The love and the deslro for
homo is universal. Every young man
should make it the ono object of his
llfo to get together the amount suf
ficient to build a homo of his very
can grow up with the sense that their
can grow up with the sense hot their
father's home Is a llttlo the best spot
on earth.
Norfolk rejoices In that it is a city
of beautiful homes homes where the
evidences of love and hope and thrift
behooves every man to own his home
behoves every man to own his home
and one of the keynotes of the con
tinued growth of a town lies in mak
ing it easy for men of small means
to acquire them. Norfolk has many
needs , but they will one by one betaken
taken care of , If men build up beau
tiful homes of their own.
WORLD-HERALD SILENCE.
Audible silence from the Omaha
World-Herald.
Has the World-Herald lost its power
as ruler of the democratic party In
Nebraska ? And will it apologize for
the column upon column of vicious
abuse which it heaped upon the repub
licans of Stanton county for doing just
what the democrats of Madison coun
ty have done ? Or will It remain con
slstent , at least , and open up with a
rapid-fire gun upon the members of
Its own party in Madison county ?
Clearly the World-Herald Is In a
hole. From prolonged and abusive at
tack upon some of the republicans of
Nebraska It Is suddenly brought Into
the defensive. For what was such a
horrid crime In republicans ought
surely to be viewed with even more
horror in the democratic camp. Will
the World-Herald be true to its prln
ciplcs or will it put on gum shoes and
side-step the whole question.
And at that , how much weight cai
be attached to the caustic remarks of
a democratic paper In attacking re
publicans and remaining silent as a
clam regarding democrats , when botl
have committed the same great crime
according to the World-Herald's own
doctrine ?
Certain republican county commit
tees selected delegates to the state
and congressional conventions with
out going through the formality of prl
mary caucuses and county conven
tlons.
A terrific howl went up from the
"reform" lungs of the pre-eminently
pure World-Herald. It held up Its
hands in holy horror. To think o
such criminal assault upon the pee
pul !
Apparently the World-Herald though
at the time that It could successfully
boss Its own party In every county o
the state , and thus back up Its how
with the purest kind of primaries al
along the democratic party.
The Madison county democratl
committee met in Madison this week
They decided that the central com
mllteemcn should go out through the
county and pick whom they saw fit , a
delegates to the congressional ant
state conventions.
Down In Otoe county , where th
democratic party is splH into two fac
tions , the central committee picked
every delegate to both conventions
without thought of a primary.
And the esteemed World-Heral
never whimpered.
The World-Herald has apparently
lost Its influence in its own party.
Standing on a high pedestal of re
form , pointing Its finger from on
year's end to another at the "disgrace
ful crimes" of the republican party
Its eyes were too full of tears eve
republican guilt to allow It to see th
similar sins of its own flock.
How consistent is the "reform
work of the purified World-Herald ?
How fair Is It to yell Itself hears
over republican acts which are copie
by Its own people , and remain slleu
over the democratic crimes ?
What kind of a double-deck game 1
the World-Herald trying to play , an >
way ? Appears like It was trying t
deal oft both the top and bottom o
the pack , to suit the player.
"YELLOW JOURNALISM. "
An elaborate article In the Amei
lean magazine for March deals wit
"tho psychology of the yellow press.
The article very justly takes to tasl
the "yellow" Journals of America fo
breaking down tlio confidence of th
public in the printed word by thel
continued practice of printing "news
which Is pure fiction for the sake o
creating n shock But while the "yol
losv" prcis of the country Is cntllle
to nil of the censure that Is given 1
u that article , the writer might also
ave gone , and not unjustly , into the
psychology of the yellow magazine"
s well.
"Yellow Journalism" Is defined as
hat typo of Journalism which prints
page after page of sensational matter
very day , whether the stories bo true
or false , for the sake of creating a
ensatlon upon the popular mind and
hits get the paper widely read. The
'yellow" Journal will as readily Invent
stuff with which lo fill Us columns as
It will sock the truth. In fact , It Is
more often the untrue than the true
hat It does print.
The harm done by this practice is
ho fact that the renders of this highly
sensational mntlcr base their Judg-
nent upon llfo on altogether wrong
foundallons day after day. U Is llttlo
wonder as a result that they got alto
gether warped viewpoints and that
.hoy do altogether crazy things.
Fortunately for the country towns ,
the "yellow journal" peril Is confined
mostly to the cities. And bo it said
to the credit of the newspapers of the
smaller towns and cities that the In
tegrity of the country press has never
yet been tainted. Newspapers In the
small cities , where everybody knows
everybody , are compelled by circum
stances , oven If they desired to do
otherwise , to adhere strictly to the
truth. A newspaper In n small town
that did not adhere to the truth could
not survive. On the other hand the
metropolitan papers which are un
scrupulous can print their sensational
fiction day after day without ever be
ing discovered. And even the rnelro-
politan papers which are anxious to
print only the truth , are put to great
pains and expense to verify the stories
which they dish up to the public on
such short notice. A few weeks ago ,
for Instance , Thaw was acquitted. A
Norfolk man who was In New York
City at the time bought a noon paper.
In great headlines it declared that the
jury had once again disagreed and
that Thaw would be tried a third time.
Not until C o'clock that night did this
man learn the real truth. In sharp
contrast to that Incident was the fact
that people In Norfolk and throughout
northern Nebraska , through The News ,
knew at 3 o'clock the truth of the mat
ter that Thaw was acquitted.
The country newspapers cling scrup
ulously to the truth. They will go to
any limit to get the real truth. They
are bound by their small communities ,
even though disinclined , to print only
what is believed , in good faith , * to be
true.
true.And
And that is why the country news
paper today wields the real Influence
in great affairs. The people believe
In the country journal where , on the
other hand , the yellow papers of the
city have set up a disbelief that han
dicaps all the metropolitan press.
But the American magazine article
makes one point which Is not well
taken. It states that people have come
to doubt the dally press and to bellevo
only in the monthly. This , of course ,
looks well from the monthly magazine
viewpoint. But the time has not come ,
nor will It , when the monthly maga
zine can take the place of the daily
newspaper In this strenuous country.
The people of America today get
their knowledge of the world's affairs
through the dally newspapers. They
form their opinions upon the news
printed In the dailies. And they get
mostly the truth In the dally papers.
The proportion of "yellow" papers ,
papers which are as ready to print
fiction as truth , is , after all , very , very
small. There arc only a few of them
In the United States. And Mr. Hearst
is the publisher of practically all of
them.
They are doing harm. There Is no
question but that they are Immoral ,
They print page after page of unread
able scandal. They wallow in the mire
of unclean criminal stuff. Their pages
arc not fit to be taken into the homes 5
and read by the little girls as well as
the parents. The greatest harm they
do is in the cities among the newly ar
rived foreigners jus.t learning to read ,
and among the poor people who can't
afford to buy the higher class and
higher priced papers. It is among
these people that the "yellow" papers
arouse criminal and animal Instincts ,
It is by pandering to the baser in
stlncts of these people that the "yel
low" press gets Its circulation. But
it is by no means an uplifting factoi
In civilization.
And after one has turned over the
yellow dally newspaper , one naturally
conies to the yellow magazine. Many
of the popular magazines of the day
are steeped In yellow. Few of them
are not talnled. Most of them have
been guilty of doing just what this
American magazine article charge
against the daily press exaggerating
crime and hate and fear nnd other
emotions until the public gets an alto
gether wrong viewpoint. These mag
azines for two years have been en
gaged In muckraking nnd agitating on
such a tremendous scale that most of
the people of the country have come
lo bellevo that there is nothing in all
the business fabric of this nation ex
cept rottenness nnd stealing nnd cor
ruption and stealing and graft. As a
matter of fact the counlry'a morals
wore never on BO high a plane as they
nro today. These magazines have
been giving a wrong viewpoint by their
very exaggeration. By their exagge
ration they have misrepresented the
truth and thus have been as guilty i\s
the yellowest dallies in spreading false
Ight.
There Is teem for improvement
turning the sensational yellow dallies.
There Is also room for vast Improve
ment among the choap-sknto yellow
magazines that sot themselves up as
tlio holiest agents In civilization.
