contained nothing in its teachings
contrary to the teachings of the Cath

COMMERCIAL CLUD MAY HELP
MAN ALONG THE STREET.
TO INVESTIGATE EACH SCHEME
The "Lincoln Plan" of Handling This
Class of Advertising May be Adopt
ed If the Proposition Meets Approval
of Business Men ,
The Norfolk Commercial club may
come to the aid of the man along thu
street , a pro | > nMtluu having boon maim
to adopt the "Lincoln plan" IIH a menus
of preventing local merchants from
being foieed into Indiscriminate ad
vertising. The Commercial club dl-
rectotK have referred I ho mutter to a
special committee.
A few years ago the Lincoln Com
mercial chili took a decided stand
against the ludlsurlmliiiito advertising
that then prevailed In Lincoln. Through
luck of co opciatlnii , It was said , Liu
coin merchants worn forced into all
kinds of fruitless forms of advertising
Strangers cnmo to Lincoln and worked
up all kinds of advertising schemes.
Many weie pure fakes ; nearly all
were profitless to the merchant. And
Lincoln Itself offered Innumurahlu
places to drop advertising mouny , people
ple soliciting advertising In all kinds
of forms for all kinds of causes.
Lincoln merchants found that Jones
lid It because Smith did and Smith
iccausu Jones did. So they handed
hemselvos together. They decided
tvhat were prolllable advertising me-
Hums. They established a llnul trt
Hinal to pass ou the inerltB of differ-
-'lit advertising schemes. The mer
chants agreed not to putroul/.o any
scheme which did not. have the en-
lorsement of the special advertising
committee.
It Is thought thu schumo which
worked In Lincoln will work In Nor
folk. Norfolk business men will he
sounded on the plan.

ed themselves in a ehautauqua for this
Mimmor and coiibuijuently decided to
steer shy of the lecture course.
The organization of an auxiliary as
sociation to the Commercial club was
endorsed.
President Diirland , W. H. Hoffman
and Sol Mayer wore mimed as a com
mittee to look after the local end of
the state convention of Commercial
clubs In this city next spring. This
action followed Mr. Hoffman's report
on the grand Island meeting at which
he represented the local club.
CONDITIONS AS GOOD AS BEFORE
LAST DECEMBER.
PROSPERITY FULLY RESUMED
:
Banks In Omaha Are Loaning Money
Cheaper Than They Did Before the
Recent Trouble and Business of All
Kinds is Prosperous.
" 1 don't know how long it will take
the eastern financial centers to get
entirely straightened up again but as
fur u& , Nebraska Is concerned the
panic is all over and the state is as
prosperous an before the recent trou
ble , " remarked N. A. Rainbolt ioda > .
Mr. Rainbolt returned last evening
from Omaha where he has had occa-
hlon to spend a considerable i > orJoi | |
of his time during the last few weeks.
"I believe business In Omaha Is pei-1
haps more active than before the
panic. Every one tells you that In
private conversation in Omaha. The
country , this ' western country , is
sound. That's the point.
"It'b a fact contrary to what wo
would have predicted last December
hut banks down In Omaha are loaning
money to their customers as cheap If
not cheaper , than they did before the
Hurry.
"The prosperity that exists here in
this northern section of the state and
throughout the central west in the
agricultural regions , Is evident. Prices
for farm produce are up. We have
, ecn cattle go up. Hogs have climbed"
back again.
"Presidential elections are always
supposed to have a depressing effect
on business , but that effect will be less
this year than for a long time past ,
laft , Johnson or Bryan will carrv out
Roosevelt's policies. The business
world does not stand aghast at the
idea of Bryan at Washington as they
did a ftw yea i a ago. Bryan has
changed with his own prosperity and
is more or less conservative. At least
he is not the wild , frantic , raving
bioncho he once was , a brilliant hut
ingtilded lire rocket. I d , , not want
o bee Bryan president but as a candi
date ho will iiot disturb business con
ditions.
"Nebraska business and financial In-
stitutloiiH are again actlvo with the
same prosperous conditions at hand.
Of course wild speculation and rash
Investments have boon inoro or
checked. "

by long and hard ivork do not enjoy
