There arc exceptions to every rule.
Ilryan will bo defeated but the man
who will do It Is named Taft and not
Johnson. The place will not be Den

nation. The time will bo November ,
and not July.
Senator PenroBo of Pennsylvania Is

The now campaign hat for ladles

Governor Johnson of Minnesota is
apparently a real llvo candidate for
the presidency and yet the neighbors
say that Mr. Bryan has the democratic
machine so well oiled that his sleep

boom.
Abe Hummel , the lawyer of odorous

Good riddance of bad rubbish !
Mr. Bryan passed his forty-eighth
birthday last week. He is compara
tively a young man and there Is abund
ant time for him to make the run for
presidency in four more presidential
campaigns before he trots In the same
class with Uncle Joe Cannon of
Illinois.
It costs New York City $257 each

are Inclined to play hookey. While
the cost of each student who behaves

cost per pupil is $103 and In the trainIng -

Iowa gave a magnificent endorse
ment to Win. H. Taft In Its recent
state convention and told Gov. Cum
mins to go way back and sit down
until Senator Allison gets through
with his lease on the United States
senatorshlp which his state has given
him for life as a reward for honorable
service.
Good and wise laws properly en
forced are essential to the peace and
prosperity of any people but the test
of their civilization is to bo seen in
their wide acquiescence to those high
er unwritten laws found In the hearts
and minds of a generous and open-
minded humanity.
Mr. Vardaman of Mississippi refers
to Mr. Bryan as "the sun kissed , heav
en piercing mountain towering above
the foot-hills of humanity. " That's
certainly going some but If the Lin
coln man Is way up there we advise
him to get down nearer the people
hefore November or he's liable to get
severely frost bitten again.
There's one good thing about Alll

these days of noise 'and bluster. He'l

been such a din that you couldn'
have heard yourself think.
IIOw well wo succeed in life Is no
a matter of luck. It never was nm
never will be. It Is not a thing o
chance. It comes only to us when w <
Intelligently work for it along legltl
mate lines. Chances como more oftei
to some boys than they do to others
but there is always a reason why thi
is so and as a general thing It is be
cause of capacity.
The Now Orleans Picayune does no
pin Its faith for the nation's defens
to submarine boats. It expresses th
hope that the Investigation of the Ml-
ley charges will rcmovo the exaggerat
ed Impressions na to the value of sub
marines existing both In and out of
congress and adds "Tho sooner con
gress becomes convinced that the sub
marine Is very much of a humbug the
greater prospect there will bo of a
more generous program of battleship
construction. "
President Castro's Irritating refusal
to arbitrate Venezuelan dilllcultlea
with American commissioners has
been repeated. It la dllllcult to de-
cldo what course the United States
should pursue In this matter. Presi
dent Castro Is too small to lick and
the American citizens Involved In the
mutter are connected with an unpop
ular trust , so they can arouse no
public sympathy.
Such arraignments as that made by
Cromor recently concerning the
mlsgovernment of the Congo cannot
bo disregarded. That veteran English
statesman declared that ho had never
seen or heard of misrule to compare
with It. "Thero hvxs been , " said he ,
"A cynical disregard of the native
races and a merciless exploitation of
the country for the benefit of foreign
ers , a parallel of which cannot bo
found In the history of modern times. "
The reorganization of the National
Bank of Commerce In Kansas City
with William Barret Hldgely as Its
head , will mean the restoration of
confidence to a tremendous degree In
Kansas City , where the depression
Immediately after the bank closed was
intense. The retirement of Rldgely
from the position as comptroller of
the currency means the loss to the
cabinet of a financier who has built
for himself an enviable record In safe
guarding the banking interests of this
country.
Senator Wm. Pinckney Whyte of
Maryland , who died at Baltimore last
week , was seventy-four years of age
and had been in public life since 1847.
Ho filled many Important positions ,
being governor of his state from 1871
to 1874 'and was elected senator In
1875. He was a democrat In politics
and belonged to the "old school" of
public men. Although a strong parti
san , he was a courteous gentleman of
the highest sense of honor and served
his country well.
Romances In real life are more In-
cresting than fiction. A Stotch lad
f sixteen left his native country eight
ears ago and came to Nebraska. Be-
ore be left a neighbor girl of twelve
ave him a promise to come to Amer-
ca and marry him , when he was aole
o offer her a home. The other day
lie Scotch lassie , now grown to be a
onng woman o'f twenty years , met
lie man of twenty-four at Omaha and
no of the judges spoke the words
vhlch made them man and wife.
Clyde Feiiimoro Burns , associate
ditor of the Railway Review , in a
ccent magazine article on "Will the
lallroads Abandon Steam ? " answers
t alllrmatlvely in the long run. Ho
ays "The present operating cost for
he movement of every car and en
gine In the country Is $1,400,000,000
n one year. fBy electrification this
vould be reduced by about $250,000-
00 representing that much actual sav-
ng. The total cost of changing the
nitlro railroad system from steam to
electric roads Js estimated at $1,500-
300,000.
FOR LAW AND ORDER.
Some day this country Is going to
awaken from its dream that the estab-
Ishment of a republican form of
government brought In the milenlum ,
and take measures for the direction
of human beings as they 'are today.
Vnd then two of the simplest and most
iccessary rules will be rightly applied
and enforced. Until then , we must ex
pect to suffer continual outbreaks
'roin ' beasts in human form , and to
bo more or less at the mercy of the
thug and the assassin.
The first step Is the rigid prohibi
tion of all meetings and publications
that advocate the overthrow of gov
ernment or the resort to violence In
any form for the redress of griev
ances. This Is fundamental ; It Is the
first remove from the condition of
chaos out of which society emerged
Yet because we have been blinded by
the brilliance of those words "free
dom of speech and of the press , " we
have failed to realize that there can
bo no freedom where unbridled license
Is allowed to 'any one. Except
after some occurrences like the at
tack upon the Chicago chief of police
and In most cities of the country 'at al
times , we permit public assemblages
to be addressed by those who Incite
sometimes scarcely In vague language
to murder and the worst of crimes
The breaking up of every such gather
Ing and the punishment of every sucl
offense by a term at hard labor Is
just as necessary and just as rnucl
the duty of a republic as the punish
mcnt of murder after It has been com
mltted.
In addition to this , wo must have
a national law prohibiting the land
Ing in this country of any person whc
does not bring with him a certificate
of good character , signed by the
United States consul at the port ol
departure , after personal examlnatioi
of the Immigrant's record. Wo pro
lilblt tht ! Importation of anarchists
but Uio law is n farce because the
authorities at New York cannot pos
slbly know who or how many of n
million and a quarter newcomers are
inarchlsts. These two measures arc
in indispensable part of that national
self-preservation which wo now utter
y neglect
HUNT THEM DOWN.
There Is absolute public sympathy
with the authorities that are following
Emma Goldman through the country ,
> revontlng her from making public
speeches and preparing to punish her
for violation of the law. There la
inlversal approval of the cour'so of
President Roosevelt In denying to an
umrchlstlc publication the use of the
nails and In calling attention of the
ocal authorities of the city where It Is
mbllshed to the Infamy of permitting
ts distribution.
Those wretches should and must be
followed to the end without hesitation
ind without mercy. When 'a mnd dog
runs foaming at the mouth through the
streets of city or village , wo do not
vait to swear out a warrant. Wo
shoot It down at sight. Wo may not
alto the same measures against those
equally dangerous enemies of all hu-
nanity , but we may nnd should shut
hem up where their bloody harangues
vill do no further mischief among
venk or disordered minds.
President Roosevelt Is exactly right
n saying that these creatures are far
verse than ordinary murderers. For
he latter at least have courage and
ake their risks. These brutes merely
ncito passion and persuade others to
iso the knife , the pistol and the bomb ,
hat they themselves may save their
own skins whole and be ready to con-
Inue their crusade against society.
The crimes committed under shelter
) f the name of freedom of speech nnd
of the press already equal those of the
vorst days of the tyranny of inon-
archs. It Is time to put an end to
hem.
It is perfectly easy to draw the line ,
i'ho moment that any man or woman ,
rom the platform or through the
> ress , counsels violence , either direct-
y or in veiled terms , that moment the
> risen doors should open. This is a
rime. We live under a government
of law. That law provides a remedy
or grievances. The crime of the
narchist is against the life of the
government Itself and the life of so
ciety. We have been foolishly lax ,
rlmlnally lenient. It Is time to hunt
own the anarchists and to put an end
o the propaganda of crime. Let every
Ity and state look to It.
TAFT'S STRENGTH GROWING.
The events of every day make clear
er the growing strength of Secretary
Paft and the certainty of his nomlna-
lon. One test will disclose this. The
ountry thinks with equanimity of the
probable defeat of every other eiandl-
late mentioned for the presidency ,
ust suppose for one moment that the
country could be made to believe to-
norrow morning that Taft would be
beaten. It would be In chaos and
uproar. The people who believe In
ho federal politics which have been
carried so far nnd which he has prom-
sed to perfect would not know where
they stood. They would feel certain
.hat In the confusion , In the struggle
of factions and individuals , the great
nterests which have done such evil
work In this nation would have their
way. They would believe , as they now
believe , that no other man either
could or would carry the work of
reform to completion , and that the
country was doomed to fall back Into
a more wretched and ominous place
than that which it occupied before the
restoration of right Ideas and of jus
tice to all began. Woe to the repub-
lie when the people are convinced that
such a situation exists.
But they have no such feeling now ,
There Is a buoyancy , a hopefulness , a
certain conviction everywhere that
we are on the way to greater and bet
ter things. The people are serene ,
because they know that wisdom and
justice are to guide them. This Is the
secret of the calmness with which thej
viewed the financial distress of a fen
months ago. It touched them. Mosl
of them suffered from It In some way
They had It In their power , by remon
strance , by losing their heads , to throw
the whole country Into panic and
ruin. They did not. They bore theli
burdens quietly , they submitted to In
convenience and loss , they awaltet
the Issue with confidence , becausi
they trusted in the hand and brali
that guided them. They are equall ;
serene today because they feel tha
Taft's nomination is assured , and tha
their interests are safe In his hands
This Is better than the most spectac
ular campaign work could accomplish
It alone would make the nomination o
Mr. Taft a certainty.
RAILROAD ADVERTISING.
In these davs of few railroad ac
vertisements the Norfolk News. cai
rlcs six , and at the same time it
editor is a reform delegate-elect ti
the republican national conventior
His system \\orks like the negro1
famous coon trap that "catched 'or
a-comln' and a-goln , . " Fremont Trl
bune. '
Advertising Is a legitimate commori
Ity. The News has this commodlt ;
for sale. Railroads conduct n bus !
ness which requires advertising. I
Is just as legitimate for The New
to sell advertising to a railroad as I
V
Train after train of cattle and hogs
swing through Norfolk throughout the
summer and fall and to a ceitnl-i i-x
tent throughout the year , originating
n the great northwest and hound for
Omaha and Chicago markets. But
while the cattle from the western
ango pass on to eastern markets the
ange country to the west has begun
o send its horses not through Norfolk
Hit to Norfolk. Some day the hog
rains inny stop In Norfolk and some
lay the cattle trains may unload hero.
The fact that the city already hdrf a
lorso market ol note gives in n way
encouragement to the hope that some
lay some means may bo found of
landllng in Norfolk the llvo stock that
low passes through the city.
Norfolk has -always been consider
able of a norse center but the city
) ecamo prominent as a range horse
narkot last fall with the removal of
he big range sales' of the Smith
Mothers' Land R Live Stock company
rom Newport to Norfolk. The In-
tial sales showed the wisdom of the
nove.
The policy of Smith Brothers this
s to sell It to a merchant , provided
he railroad pays the same price as
he merchant. Railroads want results
rom their advertising and to reach
he people of north Nebraska they
naturally patronize the medium which
covers the widest scope of country
and has the largest circulation of any
laper in the Third -district. And that
s not the Fremont Tribune. Hence
he rub. The News is being paid in
cash for all railroad advertising It is
doing not In "mileage' , " that medium
of exchange for which'.the reformer-
'or-revenue.-ofnco-anel-emolument cell-
- . - - -
or of the Tribune contended so stren-
lously at the time the new railroad
aw was under consideration.
When the source of the above sneer
s considered , coming from an editor
who until a few years ago was an
abject railroad tool , who only became
a reformer when a little railroad prlnt-
ng was taken from him and sent to
Chicago , the situation is seen to be
ridiculous. The editor of The News
ias at least been consistent in his
career. He has never occupied the
position of subserviency to railroad
nterests he has always believed as
10 does today that the railroads are
a factor In the upbuilding of a new
country and they should be given an
equal chance with every other Interest
to develop their property and make It
earn a fair , equitable profit on actual
Investment. He would not cripple
them , nor would ho allow them to
dictate the policies of government as
they used to do when Hammond and
others of his Ilk were helping them.
This is the position The News oc
cupied fifteen years ago , ten years ago
and still occupies. Give the railroads
a square deal and give the people a
square deal as well. Bo fair.
The editor of The News has never
asked but one political position ,
and he has today the endorsement of
the Third congressional district to
help carry the vote of Nebraska to
Mr. Taft. He was never a candidate
for public office In this district and
as such candidate repudiated by the
people by one of the largest majorities
ever recorded against the repuolican
ticket ; he has never attempted to ride
a popular wave into a fat job ; he has
never whined at the feet of a con
gressman whom ho did all he could
to defeat , and then suddenly when a
luscious bone was thrown to him , in
stalled himself as the self-constituted
manager of that congressman's cam'
palgn at the next election. Talk
about political Influence that IE
bought , forsooth !
That the editor of The News was
not the choice of the pooh-bah ol
Fremont was manifest at the Norfolli
convention , when the aforesaid p. b
rushed to the scene at n late hour and
In conjunction with that other re
former , W. H. Harrison , attempted tc
bring about the defeat of The News
man. How successful he was In hl
effort and what his Influence amount
ed to , even at home , became pltlablj
apparent when the solid vote ol
summer Is to be one of expansion.
The sale yards are to be mint . .oil '

The yards on North Fourth street
were built by a Norfolk stock yards
rompnny under an arrangpnu-nt with
the Smith company. Fifty-live horse
pens built to stand the rushes of the
wildest horses , were built. This
spring Smith Brothers are to build
forty more pens. This will give fa
cilities for handling ninety-live car
loads of horses. The yards will cover .
two acres.
The hale yards are to be made up-
to-date. They will be graveled. Each
pen will have modern water and feeding -
, ing facilities.
Sometime next summer or fall a
winter sales bnin will bo erected. It
will be built to bold ; 500 head of horses
nnd will be the bcone of the winter
sales of native horses.
Another improvement will be an
unloading chute to the sale yards
from the M. & O. tracks. Horses will
bo loaded and unloaded directly from
and into the ears. A canvas tout will
be secured to keep the sale ring dry
Dodge county was cast for the , to him ,
offensive partisan.
The News Is really sorry that It
cannot conduct Its business In a man
ner satisfactory to the holier-than-
thou , self-sanctified , self-appointed
censor of the Third district , but It
seems we must wiggle along someway
without that approval. But perhaps
we may be able to pull through with
out the benediction of the giant re-
> osltory of transcendent wisdom , epi
tome of unselfishness , factotum and
generalissimo of the Third district.
THE REAL ISSUE.
"A progressive , yet bafe , adminis
tration , " is the keynot of the platform
upon which .T. D. Sturgeon stands In
Ills candidacy for mayor. Mr. Stur
geon believes In the broad gauge pol-
cy of placing the city where Its loca
tion on the map rightly entitles it to
stand the leading city in the north
Platte country. When the men who
orglnally surveyed a townslte here ,
when the railroads ran into the town
[ rom various directions , when men
came here to help develop a city , all
could foresee that in the course of
years Norfolk would be the logical
center of a country vast in extent and
resources. Norfolk has made strides
toward fulfilling the destiny Intended
for her by nature , but the time has
now come when the town must take
on a more metropolitan air and main
tain the position to which our location
and opportunities entitle us.
If Mr. Sturgeon is elected mayor
of Norfolk , while he will stand for
progress and achievement , there will
bo nothing spectacular nor revolution
ary In his administration. He will not
expect to accomplish all that must be
done during the period of his admin
istration , he will not expect to spend
money that there Is no way of repay
ing , but will be content to make a
start toward .n , new order of things.
And that start will be primarily to
pave the business district of the city.
The nfcist essential Issue before the
people of this city today Is the paving
of Norfolk avenue.
Norfolk Is waking to Its real needs.
The people during the past few years
have demonstrated this in various
ways. But there can be no question
In the mind of any thoughtful citizen
who observes and understands the hit-
nation that the pre-eminent need nt
this time is placing Norfolk avenue
in as good condition as the streets of
many towns smaller than Norfolk
where a way has been found to pave
the public highways.
The sentiment In favor of doing
this is , overwhelming. There arc two
things above everything else of a pub
lic nature that are a true Index of the
real civilization and character of any
community. These are good schools
and good roads. The first Norfolk
has. and tlu-\ . are the prldo of the city.
But the- roads well they are pitiably
lacking.

year , following the heavy rains or
In stormy weather.
Tin so Improvements Indicate * not
enl > that the Norfolk horse market
is to b" n permanent market but It Is
to bo a market of Increasing Im
portance.
Norfolk Is already being recognized
IIH a hotter horse market than Omaha.
For this reason n big line of dealers
are consigning their horses here for
the summer sales.
One of the largest single * sales of
horses ever arranged was recently
carried through by Smith Brothers.
.1. S. Smith carried the deal through
assisted by R. A. Rtcroft of Newport.
The traiiHfer Involved 3,000 horses
which will be brought to the Norfolk
market. The deal was arranged by
Mr. Smith on n recent trip. A good
many hundred head of other horses
have * already been bought or contract
ed for.
On Juno 8 the first range sale of the
summer will be held. Every two
weeks thereafter sales will bo hold.
There will bo twelve range sales In
all. Until the rnngo stock is brought
to Norfolk next Juno the regular win
ter sales of native stuff will continue. h
The next sale * of this kind will be h
any time of the year when It Is muddy ,
Is a disgrace to a city whoso people
lay claim to any degree of intelligence
and energy. It is the sore spot of the
community. What Is worse , this Is
apparent to everybody. Every strang
er notices It and wonders. Ho does
not wonder so much that It Is what
it is , as he docs that It Is allowed to
remain In such condition.
There Is every reason that It should
be paved and paved quickly. The
question of Increabed taxation does
not hold valid for a moment. For
every dollar expended , there will be
a better return from the narrowest
possible point of view than any other
Investment which can be made ; from
the broader standpoint of the public
good it will mean more comfort to
every man , woman and child who
lives in the city than any other one
thing which can now be done and as
a matter of self respect and pride In
the achievements and conditions of
Norfolk it will add to the statue of
each man's citizenship.
Pave Norfolk avenue and In the
very act a great stride has been taken
toward that larger and better and
more beautiful Norfolk , and every
stranger , every traveling man , who
passes through the city will notice It ;
he will go out through the other towns
of Nebraska nnd the adjoining com
monwealth and tell about it ; his com
ment will be an advertisement of the
fact that this city has wakened up to
Its possibilities and begun those Im
provements which are placing It In
the front rank of the go-ahead and up
to date communities of the state.
Until this is done all our claims to
being progressive count for little. Its
present condition is nothing but a
humiliation and a shame to everyone
who has an lota of appreciation of the
comfort , the convlence , the beauty of
the city. The people are eager to see
this Improvement made. Common
sense and every business reason that
can be adduced demand that It be
done.
There arc several things that need
to be pushed to the Interest of the pub
lic weal in order that Norfolk may
take that place which destiny has pur
posed the city should occupy and The
News Is In favor of them all. But
first and foremost pave Norfolk av
cnue. The rest will follow.
