CITY EXPANSION.
The people of Norfolk rejoice In th
Decision of Judge Welch , annexing coi
tain suburbs to the corporation. Th
annexation was eminently just an
was called for by existing condition !
As a result of this annexation , Noi
folk will gain about 00 people la pot
ilatlon and will , It IB now believed ,
ring the city up to 5,000.
And the pcoplo brought Into the city
Imltfl are equally benefited with those
ilroady rcBldcntH of the town. For
low there will be posHlblc an oxpan-
slon of the city water system , BowerB ,
IghtB , sldi'wnlkB. etc.
No good reason can be offered why
x'oplo deriving thojr Biistenance from
ho city of Norfolk Bhould not Join
with the citizens of the city In keeping
ip the town. And many good reasons
can be advanced for such a require-
IHMlt.

The people of the Third district of
Nebraska will unquestionably consider
his point when they come to vote , and
his Is one of the reasons why they
will' send CongroHHinnn Boyd hack to
iVashlngton. In the first place he has
made a splendid record ; ho IB ono of

ooks at things with the viewpoint of

Judge Hoyd IH opposed by J. P.

ho two men , nt this time when flnan-
: lal legislation Is about to come up ,
t would not seem difficult for the peo-

TAFT IN NEBRASKA.
Nebraska for the first time In its
career has had the honor of a visit
from a Republican presidential iiomi-
100 during a campaign. For the see-
md time within slightly over a year
Norfolk 1ms bad the pk'iimiro of a vlHlt
rom William Howard Tuft. Mr. Bry-
m's own slate has turned out In
crowds of thousands at tbo various
speaking points to listen to the He-
iiibllcan candidate. And It is safe to
say that Nebraska , just as was fore-
mted yesterday to Judge Tnft by
Governor Sheldon , will glvo the Re-
mbllcan ticket from JG.OOO to 20,000
: najorlty.
Judge Tnft made friends through
northern Nebraska. Ills big body , his
itoon , clear eye and the unanswerable
uul sincere logic of his arguments , as
well as his warm , hearty hand-clasp ,
undo real friends of thousands who
saw him and heard him talk , even
though but for a brief 11 vo minutes.
For there was sound horse sense In
ludgo Taft's talk. It was the sort of
argument that must make votes , and
many of them , for the Republican na
tional ticket this fall.
Judge Taft's direct talk to Nebraska
'armors could not fall to go straight
: iome to them. "I am speaking to an
uullence of men , " bo said , "who for
the past twelve years have enjoyed a
*
prosperity unequalled in the history
of the country , and I wish to ask
thorn whether the recollection of the
last Democratic administration , in
which the passage of the Gorman-Wil
son tariff bill was largely through 'the
Instrumentality of Mr. Bryan , loads
them to desire to change from a Re
publican administration under which
they have enjoyed such prosperity , tea
a Democratic administration under
which they had the burden of 50-cont
wheat , 20-cent corn and 10-cent oats 1
It Is a question of business , gentle
men. "
Certainly there Is truth In that ar
gument. Surely there is not a farmer
In the state of Nebraska who will not
realize the weight of Judge Taft'E
point.
And right here it must be borne li :
mind that the laboring man in Ne
braska , and the merchant and business
man , will qnjoy prosperity so long ns
the farmer is prosperous. The fannoi
Is the backbone and the foundation
stone of Nebraska's prosperity. Pros
porlty for the farmer means prosperitj
for all , plenty of work ofr the work
man at good wages , and business foi
all.
And the victory of the Republlcar
party at the polls means prosperity foi
the Nebraska farmer , Just as a Demo
cratlc victory would mean as It ilk
mean the last time n Democratic presl
dent was elected low prices and ban
times.
THE LARGER TAFT.
It is ono of the pleasant nnd satis
factory surprises of this campnlgi
that Mr. Tnft steadily and strong ! ;
gro\s's upon nil who are watching hli
career. The events of the past weol
or two have shown him to bo a mat
both of unusual courage and extraor
dlnnry magnanimity two characters
tics which appeal to nil mnnly met
most strongly.
When the Hearst disclosures re
gnrdlng Senator Foraker compollei
public attention which has resulted ii
ForaUer's effaccment from the polltlca
map Mr. Taft was urged to demant
the Ohio senator's retirement from no
lltlcal activity , ho quickly replied : "I
I could win every vote In the Unltei
States by so doing , I would not hit <
man when ho Is down. "
The people are not ill love with Senator
ator Foraker both In' his methods , hli
sympathies and hla temper , ho has elate
late years been steadily drifting awa ;
from his better self , which in his
younger years manifested Itself In de
votion to the flag of battle and with
equal counigo In the halls of leglsla <
lure later on. They have been com-
tolled , however , to take cognizance
of the recent revelations. Ncvorthe'
ess , there Is nt thing that so wins the
appreciation and respect of the Amor-
can voter like magnanimity.
Judge Taft saw this man who hail
lone In tlio months just past , all he
could do , to block his way to tlu
iresldency , humiliated and discredited
becaiiBo of Ills own unfortunate all !
inces. But he had nothing in such n
moment but kindliest pity for a brll
llant man gone astray. No censure
no bitterness was his to give. He slm
ply kept aloof from the matter , letting
the man nettle the cose for himself
Taft's noble utterance attaches hlir
inoro firmly than heretofore to his fol
ow countrymen because they see In
it the revelation of his great-hearted
nosR , which IB unmistakable.
Following this notable Incident , r
day or two only had passed when the
Roosevelt loiter to the country , glv
Ing out for publication a letter frorr
Secretary Taft written a year ago wet
ssuod to the press.
This letter of Taft's shows the
flplendld , sane courage ho possesses
as It has not been so clearly shown
Defore. At n time when there was nc
public excitement about It , when Mr
Taft wrote a purely personal letter , lit
utterly refused to be a party to t
series of resolutions suggested for the
Ohio Republicans endorsing him foi
tbo presidency and Forakor for the
senate "In the Interest of harmony. '
Ills letter shows his clear vision. II
gives a glimpse of an American states
man whoso House of moral issue couU
not bo thwarted or swerved by any ad
vantage which might accrue to his owi
personal benefit. Ho promptly wrote
In reply that President Roosevelt's
policies and Senator Fornkor's were
antipodal and antagonistic. Ilo was
sum that Ohio and the nation agreed
with him In endorsing the president
Both could not bo approved nt tlu
same time and he declined any all !
anco with the senator , cvon If It cos' '
lilm the presidency.
So here within a few days , Just before
fore ho starts out to moot the people
of the west and bo greeted by them
there Is given nn opportunity througl
unexpected sensational events , for tin
voters to take the measure of the rea
character of the Republican candidate
Never in American history have tlu
two noble qualities of large hearted
generosity to a foe In the hour of theli
defeat , and self reliant , clear sighted
unequivocal choice of the right , whoi
It would have been so "easy" just t <
be supine and neutral been so vlvldlj
revealed. Magnanimity and couragi
are allied virtues which only come t <
their full maturity In great souls. On <
without the other is often seen Ir
lesser men but together whorevei
seen they are Incontrovertible evl
deuces of nobility.
William H. Tnft looms up largo or
the horizon. His intellectual attain
ments have long since been acknowl
edged. Added to these , his splendli
human sympathies and his high mora
courage , now so fully known , will en
dear him to his countrymen.
Norfolk and Nebraska rejoice tha
within a few days they can voice thel
enthusiasm and loyalty to the large
Taft the man whom n great nattoi
will delight to honor ns n great presl
dent.
AROUND TOWN.
Taft wears an old fashioned mus
tache.
And ho certainly Is a good ham ]
shaker.
But sometimes the newspaper "He
turns out to be true.
Judge Taft has an attractive set o
pure white teeth that show througl
his smile.
Now that the governor has clearei
up the matter of just what ho did saj
some of his friends are left In th
position of having said he didn't sa ;
practically what ho himself says h
did.
There were a number of Democrat
In Norfolk who deserve genuine ar
preclatlon from the Republicans. Dui
Ing Taft's stay they put out the llagf
and some of them even went so far ate
to wear Taft badges.
They might have known that If thn
flro alarm was sounded when the Tal
train arrived there'll be a second fir
alarm during the day. But then I
gave the boys a chance to try out th
now hose cart and that's wort
something.
ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
No man with a small Income ha
lived consistently If he has the dyi
popsla.
Wo are all Inclined to waste to
much powder when the enemy Is nc
In sight.
An Atchlson prohibitionist will enl
permit a water spaniel dog to stay n
bis house.
Necessity will make the dumbce
man eloquent When a dog got
hungry ho can aa good as talk.
