It Is a sad discovery for Mr. Com

The veteran newspaper man , Murat
Halstcad , has left the field of his

Mr. Taft has been elected a member
of the labor union known as the In
tcrnatlonal society of Steam-shovel-
men which was greatly pleased by his
successful efforts to settle a wage
controversy In which the members at
work on the Panama canal were Inter
ested.
Now that the housefly has been

dangerous pest.
It will bo a great disappointment to
the English people If Peary brings the
North Polo In as a United States
trophy , before Lieutenant Shackleton
motors back to England , with the
South Pole. Judging from previous
expeditions however , there Is llttlo
likelihood of a triumph In either case.
It Is said that oven the socialists are
complaining of slack collections for
their campaign fund and you can get
into their game for fifty cents and
get a year's subscription to the Age

that n large fee for a publication with
such a magnificent name.
Mr. Bryan has established receiv
ing headquarters at Democratic news
paper offices and all who desire a
change of administration of national
affairs are requested to stop up and
pay their money like men but re
member you are limited to the trifling
sum of $10,000.
The Pierce Leader Is a Democrajtc
newspaper and admits It sincerely
hopes D. Rees , Democratic candidate ,
will be elected senator from the
Eleventh district. In the same arti
cle the Leader admits that It hopes
the Republicans will not nominate R.
Y. Appleby of Stanton for Mr. Rees to
run against.
If Mr. Bryan Is such a successful
reformer It seems strange after being
the leader of the democratic host for
twelve years that Colonel Guffy re
mains In charge of the democracy
of Pennsylvania , Sullivan still holds
forth In Illinois , Taggart lu Indiana ,
Murphy In Now York , O'Connor In
Minnesota. Democracy doesn't scorn
to appreciate a reform leader.
At the grand review of troops which
was one of the features of the grand
celebration of the 300th anniversary
of the founding of Qubec , the title
deeds of the old battlefield wore pre
sented to the Dominion for the purpose
of creating a national park for the use
of the people of Canada , on the plains
of Abraham.
President Castro of Venzuela Is
still In the limelight. He is always
prancing around with a chip on his
shoulder , daring some nation to knock
it off. Just now It Is Holland ho is
trying to pick a fuss with. It seems
nt times as though Uncle Sam would
eventually have to spank the Impu
dent youngster , but It would be at a
loss of the old gentleman's dignity.
The excavation of the famous Cul-
obra cut Is half completed. The Amer
icans have removed as much dirt In
ono year as the old French company
cut out in ten. It is not yet time to
congratulate ourselves on the success
of the big ditch , but the Indications |
now are that the great water-way will
be completed and bo put In operation '
n a manner to call for the congrntu
atlons of the world.
Mr. Hryan has resigned the edltov-
shlp of the Commoner and announces
that the profit derived for the pub
lication above actual expenses will be
turned toward the Democratic cam
paign fund. Ho also donated to the
same purpose $1,000 which ho re
ceived for talking Into a phonograph.
Mr. Bryan gives every evidence of
being definitely Interested In the suc
cess of the Democratic ticket.
When the United States govern
ment returned to China several
millions of Indemnity money which
wore paid In excess of actual damages
committed during the Boxo uprising ,
Chinese officials were speechless with
astonishment , but have now recov
ered their gracious diplomacy and an
nounce to our government that the
money will bo used for the education
of Chinese students In America.
On a foggy day it Is Impossible to
see the tops of the new skyscrapers
now under process of construction In
New York city , the tallest of which
will bo 900 feet above the sidewalk. A
business man dictating letters hun
dreds of feet above the ground will bo
effectually above the clouds as though
on a lonely mountain top , and only
the dull roar from the streets reminds
him that far below lies a teeming city ,
with congested traffic and thronging
thoroughfares.
Florco and furious Is the clashing
between the police and pcttlcoatcd
suffragists In London town. These

the particular scalp they are after
now.reposes on the head of Sir Henry
Asqulth. No sooner was ho made
premier than he slammed his official
door In the faces of the women suf
fragists nnd ever since It has been
war to the knife.
There is every Indication that
Hearst Is going to cut quite a figure
with his Independent party In the east
and in New York. His following In
the empire state assures a Republican
majority there , for no ono will claim
that the Hearst party will draw to
any extent from the Republican votes.
Hearst's methods are not admirable.
Yet there Is no doubt but that the
Democrats In the present campaign
will realize that they count.
Rich arid poor , strong and weak , ed
ucated and Ignorant will all agree
wlth Mr. Taft In his present state
ment that the greatest question now
before the American people Is the
Improvement of the administration of
justice , civil and criminal , both In the
matter of Its prompt dispatch and
the cheapening of its use. If Mr.
Taft acquires the habit of hitting the
bull's eye as squaVely as that right
along he will make a president to bo
proud of.
The first cargo of Iron ore to ar
rive In the new steel manufacturing
city of Gary , Indiana , was received
last week. The event was appro
priately celebrated with speeches and
music. Hon. John W. Kern , Demo
cratic candidate for vlco president ,
was one of the speakers. Gary has
been elaborately laid out and built
upon the most up-to-date plans. It Is
the hope of the founders to make this
now place a model city and Its de
velopment will be watched with In
terest.
Every year the business and Indus
trial world demands more of the
young man who would succeed. So
great Is the money capital of our
country'so keen the competition , so
creat ; is the value of time and so
expert have leading men become thai
the demand Is for expert and intelli
gent young men who have been
taught practical life lessons and thor
oughly educated for business. There
Is smaller chance for success for the
poorly equipped young man than ever
before.
Mr. Bryan's appeal to farmers to
send In $5 contributions to the cam
paign fund is not likely to bring any
very largo sum Into the party coffers
In 189C many of them were Inclined
to try his prescription for their flnan
clal Ills , hut nt.thls time they arc
getting from two to four times as
much for their products as they were
then. Having been spared the dis
aster which Bryan's prescription
would have brought upon them then
they are now too well satisfied wltl
their present prosperity to pay him
for a second prescription.
Mr. Taft Is not a self seoldng poll
tlclan. If ho wore he would not bo
a candidate for the presidency now
for his personal ambition was to be
come a judge of the supreme bench
Ho gave up his judicial career when
duty called him to the Philippines and
although three times during his ser
vice there the opportunity to enter
the supreme court was offered him
it was refused , even though it was a
life long goal. Mr. Taft , saw that his
duty i lay to the pcoplo whom he hn.il
taught to believe In him na the per
sonification of American justice and
good faith and when he left the
Islands It was to take up the work of
secretary of war In which position
he was still able to dlroct Philippine
affairs. Ho Is not and office seeker ,
hut a faithful public servant.
THE CHAUTAUQUA.
The chautauqua la good for the
community. Lectures of the high or
der brought by a first class chautau-
qua have a lasting Influence for good
upon the community's life , and such
Influences should bo encouraged by
the city.
Many people failed to comprehend
the full meaning of the chautauqua In
ulvance. Now that ono has como and
gone , the proposition finds more favor
In Norfolk than ever.
Norfolk would benefit if the chau
tauqua were to become permanent.
William Allen. White , the Kansas
newspaper man who has gained na-
tonal fame by his clear cut state
ments on every question ho handles ,
n a short article makes some points
which arc crowded full of common
sense and practical wisdom' . In
speaking of the need of the times ho
says : "The demand of the time is
for men men who are willing to take
off their coats and go to work. The
country "has plenty of lawyers , musi
cian's and preachers and editors and
others who conspicuously fall to make
two bales of hay grow whore but ono
grow before. The professions are all
overcrowded , the offices are full of
men who are growing hungry on genteel
tool refinement ; the streets are being
worn smooth by weary feet of countess -
ess thousands of gifted and highly
educated individuals who are filled
with an unspeakable yearning to ac
cept lucrative positions , but whenever
never think of hunting jobs. Every
situation that Involves an arm chair
is besieged by clamoring applicants.
When a city business man advertises
for a cashier or bookkeeper , he haste
to hire a platoon of police to protect
him from the answering throng.
There are too many Illy fingers In the
country and yet not enough hands
with blisters on them. "
THE PROPOSED EXCURSION.
The excursion of Norfolk business
men up the Dallas line of the North
western , plans for which have taken
definite shape , will be ono of the
best things Norfolk business men have
done for years.
Such a trip Into ICO miles of trlb
utary territory would open the eyes
of many Norfolk business men as to
the wealth of the country which lies
right at Norfolk's door and which
ought to be taken advantage of by
this city for wholesaling and manu
facturing distribution.
The country north to Dallas is de
veloping today faster than any other
region In the United States. It is all
tributary to Norfolk , if Norfolk will
take advantage of the opportunity.
Norfolk Is located Ideally for a dis
tribution point to five different direc
tions. Only organized effort will de
velop the city's possibilities along that
line. And this trip would help some ,
by demonstrating to the business men
of Norfolk what Is available to the
north as a field of operation.
It would bring about a more cordial
feeling between Norfolk and her north
ern neighbors. Incidentally , the trip
would bring the business men who
went on the excursion , closer to
gether.
Norfolk business men are today In
greater harmony than they have been
for years. All that is needed now Is
somebody to start things for Nor
folk's development. And this excur
sion Is a good thing to begin with.
HOUSES BACK FROM STREET.
Norfolk needs an ordinance requir
ing that residences shall bo built a
reasonable distance back from the
street sidewalk. Such an ordinance
is needed in order to maintain the
beauty of the residence district. In
most cities such an ordinance exists.
An oven , uniform residence street can
not bo maintained without such re
quirement. And It Is decidedly to
the interest of the community that
the beauty of straight lines of resi
dences along a given thoroughfare
should be maintained.
It Is altogether wrong that ono
house , built near the edge of the side
walk , should bo allowed to break
the evenness of the line of residences
and destroy all of the effect of untold
effort expended by way of time and
money and hard work to accomplish
somethlrtg In the way of an attractive
community.
Property owners who voluntarily
build their homes In even alignment
along a street In an effort to beautify
the street , have rights In the protec
tion of their alignment. And where
those rights are disregarded by the
indifferent Individual , at times through
pure malice , the city should step in
and extend the deserved protection.
It Is unfortunate for Norfolk nt
large that such an ordinance has not
been on the city books for some tlmo.
Enough in the way of an object les
son has been had now , however , to
suggest the enactment of such an or
dinance in the near future for the
aako i of tlio city's npprarnncc In time
to come.
NEIGHBORS ENDORSE HIM.
R. Y. Appleby , Stanton county's cnn-j
dldatc for the Republican nomination.
as senator from the Eleventh sona-
torlal district , has been formally endorsed -
dorsod by a signed statement by the
county committee of Stantou county.
The endorsement , which came en-
tlrely voluntarily upon the part of
the signers , expressed In a brief way
the confidence the men who have
lived neighbors to Mr. Appleby In his
eminent ability to serve efficiently and
well as senator from the Eleventh dis
trict. And upon the basis of Mr.
Appleby's qualifications to servo as
senator those friends of his In Stanton -
ton county ask the Republican voters
of the district to nominate him at
the coming primary election. Follow-
ng Is the statement which the Stanton -
ton county Republicans have Is
sued :
We the undersigned members of the
Republican county central committee
of Stanton county , Nebraska , believing
that In all fairness that Stanton
county Is entitled to the nomination
of the Eleventh senatorial district and
the Republicans of this county pre
sent for said office Mr. R. Y. Ap
pleby whom we know nnd can assure
the voters -of the district that If
nominated nnd elected ho will rere-
sent every legitimate business Inter
est In the district.
Wo believe that the Republicans
want to do the right thing and In this
cabo wo simply nsk that wo bo treated
as .every county In the district has
been treated since the organization of
the district as now constituted , nnd
wo ask for Mr. Appleby the same
cordial support he has ever given the
candidates of the other counties when
they asked for the nomination In their
order.

OUR NEW SERIAL STORY.
It has been the privilege and pleas
ure of The News to present many ex
ceedingly high quality serial stories ,
many of them by very noted authors ,
to Its readers. None has ever yet
been published in this paper , however ,
of greater merit or of greater human
Interest than that which begins In
this Issue , "The Port of Missing
Men , " by Meredith Nicholson.
This story , in book form , remained
one of the best sellers In the country
from December 7 , 190G , until Septem
ber , 1907. It was first on the list In
February , March and April , 1907.
It Is easy to account for the popu
larity of "The Port of Missing Men , "
when you read it. A story of Intrigue
which might have been taken from
the pages of mediaeval history , it be
comes glowing romance when brought
down to the present the kind of
romance which causes the reader to
burn midnight oil. With the
scene transferred to America , the In
terest Is greatly increased for
Americans.
The fascination of mystery holds
the reader as he Is swept from one
thrilling Incident to another. Who was
John Armitage , the hero ? What was
he ? Why was his life so persistently
sought ? These questions arouse the
keenest Interest nnd deepen Into a
problem which baffles the reader until
Its solution Is reached In the end.
Pursued by his enemies , suspected
and , treated with cruel Injustice by
his social and professional equals ,
there is one who believes In Armitage ,
Shirley Clalborne , the superb woman.
Great Is the reader's delight to find
her twice saving his life.
So In this story of Intricate plot ,
dramatically unfolded , this old world
romance In a new world setting we
have the old and ever new story of
love , love which makes the world go
round.
PIERCE COUNTY CUSTOM.
Pierce , Neb. , Aug. C. Special : The
article in The Norfolk News of today
saying that the Republicans of Pierce
county will-yield to the wishes of the
Republicans of Stanton county nnd
the majority of them vote for R. Y.
Appleby for state senator , Is a state
ment without any foundation.
The friends of Senator Randall have
Issued the following statement ; "Both
Appleby and Senator Randall , of New
man Grove , are good men. Randall
has the advantage of being in the
senate one term. He has made an
excellent record. In county affairs It
has always been the practice In Pierce
county to give an official who has
made a good record a second term and
It isn't unreasonable to suppose that
the Republicans of Pierce county will
take the same view when they como
to vote for the office of state senator.
Mr. Randall has many friends In
Pierce county who know his record In
the state senate and they are doing
some missionary work for him. "
Sioux City Journal.
The News believes that the Repub
licans of Pierce county , as a whole ,
are done an Injustice in the above
"statement" Issued by a few partisan
friends or a friend of Senator Randall
at Pierce and published in the Sioux
City Journal.
The News has no objection to a
statement being Issued by friends or
friend of Senator Randall setting forth
the senator's reason for presuming
that he may hopefully ask for more
senatorial honors than have over be-
fore been given to any ono man bj
the Republicans of this district. Hut
The News Is not ready to believe that
the Republicans of Pierce county na
. a whole will allow theniEelvos to
. be bound by the statement of a few
j I partisans to so Inconsistent a proposal
! ns that Included In the above "stnto-
1 mcnt. "
I
: In their statement , Senator Ran-
'dall's ' friends In Pierce are perfectly
, frank nnd fair to Mr. Appleby , so far
as his qunllflcntlous for the senator-
ship are concerned. They say at the
start , first of all , that Mr. Apploby Is
a good man and , Inferimtlnlly , that ho
would mnko this district n good sen
ator lu the state legislature.
"Both Appleby and Senator Randall ,
of Newman Grove , nro good men , "
the statement starts out *
Admitting that R. Y. Appleby Is
fully ns well qualified In every wny to
represent these four counties In the
stnto senate as the Novnmn Gro\o
banker , the Pierce .rle..d& of Sen
ator Rnndall prrsen4 wn exceedingly
fnt fetched argument ns to why , both
candidates being good men , Pierce
county should turn Its back upon long
established precent and break faith
with Stanton county at this time.
"In county affairs It has always
been the practice In Pierce county to
Ive an official who has made a good
record a second term and It Isn't un
reasonable to suppose that the Repub
licans of IMerco county will take the
same view when they come to vote
for the office of state senator , " says
the statement. And It Is In this part
of the statement that Senator Rnn
dall friends In Pierce city seize upon
n false argument In a rather bold way
apparently with the hope of mislead
ing the Republican party at large In
Pierce county and In the Eleventh dis
trict.
Wo grant that it Is the custom of
Pierce county , as It is of other coun
ties , to give an official who makes a
good record In county affairs a second
term.
term.We
We deny that such a custom has
ever been adopted In Pierce county
or any other county with regard to
the state senatorial matter. We sub
mit that county office nnd state scna-
torlr.l office are two distinct proposi
tions and that they must be subject
to entirely different treatment because
conditions surrounding the two classes
of office are utterly different.
The Randall partisans In Pierce city
all know full well that were every sen
ator in the Eleventh district to be
given a second term for good service ,
It would take sixteen years before
each one of the four counties in the
district Pierce , Madison , Stanton and
Wayne could have n turn at the sen-
atorshlp. During those sixteen years
four men would have a monopoly upon
this office. The Pierce "friends" of
Senator Randall would turn the senn-
torship over to Senntor Randnll and
three other men during sixteen long
fears.
And there Is one strange inconsis
tency in the "statement" sent out
from Pierce by the Randall partisans.
They say "It has always been the prac
tice In Pierce county to give an of
ficial who has made a good record
a second term" and for this reason
they contend that Mr. Randall should
be sent back to the senate.
If that sentence were truth , we
would not quarrel with these Randall
friends for asking the same treat
ment for the present senator that had
been given to his predecessors. Butte
to none Is the deception of that sen
tence more apparent than to those
very friends who Issued the state
ment.
If Pierce county has "always fol
lowed the practice of giving n second
term" In return for good service , why
did not Pierce Republicans Insist upon
a second term for Dr. Alden when he
was senator from this district ? Surely
he made n splendid record in the sen-
nte.
If Pierce county "has always fol
lowed the practice of giving a second
term" In return for good service , why
did not Pierce Republicans Insist upon
a second term for Dr. Williams of
Wayne when ho was senator ? Surely
Dr. Williams mndo n good record.
If Pierce county "has always fol
lowed the practice of giving n second
term" In return for good service , why
did not Pierce Republicans Insist upon
a second term for Hon. W. W. Young
of Stanton when ho was In the sen-
nte ? Surely Mr. Young made a good
record.
But no. We find upon examining the
matter that , although Pierce county
has always followed the practice of
giving second terms to county of-
flclals in return for good service , not
until this year have the Plerco par
tisan friends of Senator Randall ever
contended that the county plan should
bo brought into the senatorial district's
politics.
The "statement" Issued by Senator
Randall's friends in Pierce In reality
appeals for votes for R. Y. Appleby
as the Republican senatorial nominee
In the Eleventh district.
In the first place the "statement"
recognizes Mr. Appleby's ability and
his qualifications to represent the
Eleventh district as It should be repre
sented. And In the second place the
"statement" argues that past prece
dent In the matter should bo followed
ito the letter nnd should not nt this
time bo broken.
These friends of Senator Randall ,
eager ns they are that his pormmal
ambition to secure two sonntorlnl of
fices where only one grew before , tell
MB frankly thnt R. Y. Apploby of Stanton -
ton In a "good man. "
They mnko an appeal for fair play
for consistent adherence to the
practice thnt hns "always" been fol
lowed.
It la difficult to see how even these
friends of Senator Rnndall , them
selves , can. under the circumstances ,
vote for anybody but Stnnton coun
ty's candidate , Mr. Appleby.

Senator Randall's Pierce friends , in
n formal statement just Issued , admit
that R. Y. Appleby of Stanton county
Is as well qualified to be senator ns
is the Newmnn Grove banker , himself.
Every Republican In the Eleventh dis
trict knows that the privilege of nam
ing the nominee should go this year ,
by all that Is right and fair and by
virtue of long standing precedent
established years ago by the Repub
lican party in this district , ( Just ns
the same precedent has always been
followed in other districts over the
state ) to Stanton county. Since Mr. |
Appleby , whom Stanton county pre
sents , Is satisfactory In every wny ns
a candidate to even the partisan'
friends of Senator Randnll , It would
seem that there Is no reason whatever
for not keeping faith with the Repub '
Ilcnns of Stnnton county this ycnr , ns
Republicans of Stanton county have
always In the past kept faith w 1th ,
Madison nnd Pierce nnd Wayne coun
ties.

What sort of a woman Is most pop
ular with her husband ? Nobody

the sort of w6man he admires. It Is
better for her to bo her natural self.
