J. Adam Dedo Ima this to say of
President-elect William Howard Taft :
"Mr. Taft has all the good qualities
of Hoosovelt without his faults. Ho
is probably the biggest man wo have
In this country and four years from
now he will have a stronger hold on
the people than has Hoosovelt. "
The Celestial Emperor Is announced
dead In Peking and the real ruler of
the empire , ( ho dowager empress , IB
followed to the grave. She ban done
wjiat fdio could for fifty years to pre

change. She has seen It fairly seeth

since the war In Manchuria.

Madison Square Garden , Now York's

that the garden will over bo a paying

Many of America's great men of the

The simultaneous death of the des
potic , old dowager empress of China
and the emperor who was merely
a tool for her to use , causes many
surmises as to who will be the real
future ruler and what policies he will
advance. Meanwhile the American
licet awaits results , ready for active
service In case any attempt Is made
to dismember the Chinese Empire.
The lack of proper coaling stations
Is one of the weakest points In
America's defense. In time of war ,
It would be impossible for the great
fleet of which the nation Is so proud
to make a trip around the world. Un
less our deficiencies of this kind are
remedied our national pride Is to have
a humpty-dumpty experience earned
nt great expense of money and human
life.
The Reformed Spelling committee
pursues Its endowed and supposedly
well salaried way apparently not at all
disturbed by the ridicule which is
heaped upon its efforts. It is about to
launch upon an Innocent public an
other list of mutilated monstrosities ,
numbering about 300. They furnish
unlimited Joy to the humorous para-
grapher , but are otherwise a total
failure.
President Taft already gives out that
one great purpose of his administra
tion is the winning of the south. If
this can be done and the solidity of
the south be broken up , politically , it
will make for development of that
great section and the welfare of the
entire nation. President Taft under
takes a great task but Its accomplish
ment will demonstrate the highest
kind of statesmanship. '
One hundred and twenty-five years
Is a long time to wait for the public
declaration of a nation's gratitude , but
the Prison Ship Martyr's monument
was dedicated November 14 nt Brook
lyn In memory of the revolutionary
soldiers who died because of cruelty
of the most crushing kind on the part
of their custodians. President-elect
Taft spoke to 50,000 people in memory
of the "unknown dead. "
Wo admire fine rhetoric and elo
quent speech but our Judgments are
convinced by sincerity. An exchange
aptly says : "Clear cut logic and plain
statement , have more weight than
florescence. We listen to verbal elo
quence and linguistic pyrotechnics and
feel a charm as in the brilliant techni
que of the musician but to move , to
convince , to bring action there must
bo a man back of the words. "
General Viscount Torlo , one of the
elder statesman of Japan , out-Hobson's
Ilobson In his dire predictions. Ac
cording to this prophet the United
States and Japan are to have a hun
dred years of war and engage In n
conflict that will make all previous en
counters between warring nations look
like thirty cents. There's nothing llko
throwing a big scare when you throw
any. Meantime President Hoosevolt
says that the relations of the two great
peoples were never more friendly and
the ordinary sensible citizens of the
republic pursue the even tenor of his
way. Some people wore born to scare
children. Torlo Is one of them. But
wo are not children.
The attempt to mix politics and re
ligion In an attack on Mr. Tnft be
cause he is n Unitarian Is an indica
tion of narrowness and bigotry that
will not bo tolerated. President
Roosevelt Is entitled to the thanks of
the people for the aolar plexus blow
ho delivered against It , In his recent
open letter. The days of "Knownoth-
Inglsm" In this country are happily
passed forever. Fitness for office ef
ficiency and high personal character
are the requisites for holding public
office. A man's religious views are his
own and he has a right to cherish
them.
The legitimate Industries of the
country began preparations for renew
ing or Increasing their business upon
hearing this simple statement made
by Mr. Taft : "Every business man
who Is obeying the law may go ahead
with all the energy In his possesHlon ;
every , enterprise which Is within the
statutes may pioceed without fear of
Intelforcnco from the administration
when acting legally ; but all Interests
within the Jurisdiction of the federal
government may expect a rigid en
forcement of the laws against dishon
est methods. " No one can complain
of that.
Herbert S. Hadley , the newly elect
ed governor of Missouri , said recently
In Kansas City , that he proposed to
make his administration a construc
tive one ; ( lint the resources of the
state were as yet very mengerly de
veloped. He believed that scientific
investigation of soil and crops would
show clearly that cereals , vegetables
and fruits would be most successfully
grown , what natural resources could
be developed , and open ( ho way to
adding millions to the wealth of the
people of the state. What Is true of
Missouri is true of all the states.
Even the eastern part of the country
which has been settled the longest
and developed most fully , has re
sources yet untouched. The genera
tions of future years will not have the
boundless natural resources which
those proceeding us found waiting for
the hand of man to subdue and utilize.
They will have to apply this greater
knowledge to scientific research and
discover nature's hidden treasures
which have noi yet been revealed.
Each year discloses now values which
mean wealth to the discoverer and
added comfort to the people. It will
always be so. There is n great deal to
learn yet. '
HOME'S HOLIDAY.
Every day wo celebrate has a
special character of its own. Thanks
giving day is no exception to the rule.
It Is the day of days in which the
home is magnified and glorified. It Is
the highest tribute which posterity
pays to those who on "a stern and
rock bound coast" laid the founda
tions of civil and religious liberty on
this continent. It is the greatest gift
contributed by New England to the
larger national life of today. The day
set apart in 1021 bj the Pilgrims that
they might gather In family reunions
and to Him who had cared for and
spared their lives in 1021 has taken
deep and abiding root in the national
conscience steadily until on this 2Cth
day of November , 1008 , nearly three
centuries afterwards , ninety millions
of people , who live within a great free
republic , the best the world has ever
seen , at the suggestion of their presi
dent and leader , assemble at their
homes and In their churches , In the
same spirit of thankfulness.
But It is as a day of home gather
ing that Thanksgiving ; gains the at
tention and holds the affection of the
people. While it has far out grown
Its original confines Its spirit of honorIng -
Ing the home and acknowledging God's
goodness has permeated the lives and
hearts of the millions of every clime
and race and creed who In the larger
America swear glad allegiance to the
Hag of the great republic.

There has been no decided change
In the Democratic tangle over the hos
pital stewardship , for which several
local Democrats have been candidates.
An effort made by some Democrats to
induce all of the other candidates lo
withdraw In favor of Herman Gerecke
has not been successful In clearing the
field of candidates. The situation
therefore remains unchanged.
There are children in Norfolk who
attend two Sunday schools , so at
tractive are some of these Norfolk
Sunday schools. By going to an early
morning Sunday school and later to n
12 o'clock school , the industrious
young ladies , for they arc girls , are
able to possess a varied number of red ,
white and blue cards , silver and gold
attendance pins and Christmas favors.
Declaring that they "had not been
treated so white" In any town visited
this season , the members of the Oak
land football team have been lavish
in their praise of the fair treatment
given them here. The visitors also
declared the local game the cleanest
they had played In. Oakland has
ployed a , , number of hard games this
season , playing tie games with Ban
croft , Fremont and Norfolk.
WHAT NORFOLK NEEDS.
The fact that two or three Industries
were started In Norfolk and did not
succeed , Is not by any means an In
dication that manufacturing Industries
of the right sort , rightly managed ,
could not bo made to prosper In this
city. As a matter of fact there are
many reasons why manufacturing In
dustries of the right sort should , if
properly started and judiciously man
aged , thrive particularly In Norfolk at
the present time.
Because failure comes to a factory
operated by men who have had no fac
tory experience and no technical know
ledge of the business they are trying
to run , Is no reason In the world for
concluding that Industries of the right
sort , properly conducted , should not
pay In Norfolk.
Inexperience and Ignorance will re
sult In failure In any business under
taking , whether It be In Norfolk or In
Chicago. Norfolk can not bo charged
with failures duo to lack of proper
management.
It could bo told Just as well In ad
vance as afterwards that no factory
of any sort could micccod and grow' '
which did not have behind It wise
buslnoss judgment and a practical
knowledge of the production being at
tempted.
Norfolk right today presents prob
ably the greatest opportunity ( o new
factories of certain typos and whole
sale houses In certain lines , to be
found In any city of this size In the
United States.
A glance at the map , showing Nor
folk's remarkably advantageous geographical
graphical location , with railroads out
i
In five directions stretching for hun
dreds of miles Into territory that Is
logically tributary to Norfolk In ( he
matter of wholesaling and manufac
turing , Is all that is necessary to In
dicate the possibilities of the situation.
Within a few months Trlpp county ,
S. D. , will bo opened up to settlement ,
bringing 5,000 new homes within Nor
folk's ' exclusive territory.
Certain ( ypes of manufacturing In
dustries and wholesale Industries could .
locate here right now and grow with
the growth of this new country.
A year or so , unless the opportunity
Is taken advantage of , will see that tor-
rllory slip awny from Norfolk and won
for sonic other more distant center.
There are hundreds of men In the
United States today who are looking
for just such an opportunity as Norfolk
affords. There are hundreds of them
who , with limited capital , are unable
I
lo start on large scales In the cities , '
but who would gladly start in some ,
small city such as Norfolk , with their
!
limited capital , willing to work hard
to grow as the territory developed.
Those men do not know of Norfolk.
They may never have heard of the
town.
It Is for Norfolk to seek out those
men ; they connot be expected to seek
out the town.
If Norfolk had called the attention
of Judge Witt en to its geographical lo
cation , a Trlpp county opening regis
tration point would have been estab
lished here. If Norfolk would call the
attention of the men seeking locations
for factories and small wholesale
houses , to the geographical location of
this city , some no doubt , could be
easily Induced to take advantage of
the opportunity afforded here at this
time.
Norfolk has much to talk about to
the prospective locator. Already many
buslnoss houses are taking advantage
of the opportunity offered In this big
territory at Norfolk's rront door. It
stands to reason that other lines of
industry , not now represented here ,
could profitably enter the field. It
would mean much for Norfolk to
awaken a new growth.
The commercial club could spend
the funds entrusted with it by Norfolk
business men in no better way than to
advertise the geographical advantages
offered by Norfolk.
The most effective and economical
means of getting at this advertising Is
a matter of detail. It might well be
left with some experienced advertising
agency. Perhaps a page ad. In some
paper as the Chicago Tribune a page
giving the map of North Nebraska
and southern South Dakota , with Nor
folk's general location impressively
shown , and reading matter that would
drive homo the opportunities to be
had here perhaps that might be as
effective as anything that could be
done. An advertlseing agency would
know. Their advise would be expert
upon the point.
The fact that something of this sort
ought to bo done Is of prime Import
ance. It could be done. Other cities ,
with less advantages to talk about
than Norfolk , have advertised and
gained new Industries.
Norfolk could gain new Industries by
letting the people 'Interested ' know
what there Is here to offer.
Few cities have an asset as valuable
as Norfolk's geographical location.
No business house with so valuable
a talking point would lose opportu
nity to make that point known to the
world at large.
Norfolk will never make a city un
less It takes advantage of the oppor
tunity now open to It. By sitting with
Its hands folded and waiting "for some
thing to turn up , " Norfolk can never
expect to be bigger than It Is today.
If It Is going to bo satisfied to drift
along and never take any aggiesnlve
action to brliis about growth , Its size
will not materially Increase.
But Norfolk has the opportunity to
grow. What It needs now , more ; than
anything else , is advertising. And the
time to do that advertising Is now ,
tieforo Trlpp county is opened.

I have a new system of poultry rais
ing , the Egg-Ill system. It combines
all that King Solomon know about
hens with all that has boon learned
by later wise mon vl/ . Christopher
Columbus , Napoleon , Charles Darwin ,
and Farmer Bryan.
Under my Egg-Ill system a hen will
average six eggs a week right through
the fall and winter , the Black season
with ordinary hens , the season when
eggs soar up to 25c , 30c and even -10c
per dozen in the cities.
With each hen laying C eggs per
week ( under my system the hens
keep the Sabbath , so It may be used
lawfully In South Dakota ) It Is easy
to compute that twelve hens kept In
a goods box on the back porch , the
kitchen roof , or even on the fire-
escape , If there Is no other room , and
fed on the scraps from the table , that
otherwise go to waste or are fed to a
non-laying dog will keep a small
family from starvation , at 30c per
dozen.
Six dozen hens , kept In a coop made
of goods-boxes and barrel staves at
the end of a small city lot will , at
thirty-six dozen eggs a week , pay not
only for the small amount of extra
grain it will bo necessary to buy for
that number , but will keep an ordin
ary family of six people in comfort
throughout the Winter.
If John D. Rockefeller had started
fifty years ago to raise hens Instead
of oil he would have owned the
world by this time at 30c per dozen ,
for , starting with twelve hens ( a very
modest start ) and doubling your num
ber every six months ( a seemingly
easy thing to do ) and in even the
short space of twenty years you will
have hens enough under my system
to jlay f089.5GO.-4G 1,26840 worth of

This system of raising chicks without
a mother Bavos the trouble of wean
ing ( bom and also Insures that no
chickens will bu smothered by the old
hen lying on them. They are readily
raised by hand and soon learn to
drink without the finger.
Of course Ihlawny of beginning the
poultry business yields no Immediate
returun ns the earliest you can expect
a pullet ( o begin laying , even under
my Egg-HI system Is nix ( o eight
months old. The merit of It lies In Its
cheapness.
J
The most Important part of my Egg- ,
HI system Is the secret of gotlng the
lions over the moulting period by
Sept.l and getting them down to their
regular business of laying. This portion
tion of my system IB still In the ox-
perlmontal form and will bo made
public when complete data are at
hand.
The second secret of Importance Is
the art of preserving eggs In n fresher
or semi-fresh stage , I. e. fresh enough.
The slmpllst way , and perhaps the
oldest , as It SOIIIB to have been used
by Mrs. King Solomon ( which Mrs.
Is not recorded ) Is to cover the eggs
In common salt. A barrel of salt , cost
ing about $1.75 will make three
barrels of preserved eggs worth
$175.00 at 30 cents per dozen. The
secret is to thus preserve eggs during
April May and June , when they are
worth anywhere from six to twelve
cents and sell them , during December
and January at 30 cents or more.
Could this plan bo generally adopted
among all poultry raisers It would
have the very desirable effect of
making eggs worth eight cents In
January when they are most scarce
and 30 cents In Juno when most plen
ty. If , in giving my Egg-Hi system
to the poultry world I succeed In
bringing about this dream of the early
masters of the art , my name will bo
Immortal.
Will disclose more of the secrets
of my Eg-HI system as soon as dis
covered. Uncle Oscar.
