One of the mos-t larjjejy attended
meetings that the Norfolk Commercial
club has over held , last night discussed
the city's prospects at the city hall
and endorsed the work that has been
done by the board of directors and
| President Kllllan during the past year ,
by re-electing practically the entire old
board.
, Several of ( ho re-oleced ( directors
said they could not possibly servo an
other year , but the meeting was so
' unanimous In its insistence and so
enthusiastic in the pressure it brought
to bear , that the board as elected last
night will stand for the time being at
least , and any vacancies that may oc
cur will be filled by the directors re
maining , iu accordance with the by
laws of the club.
President Kllllan declared that he
would not think of serving again un
less the club could afford to employ
some high grade man to give his ( line
and energies exclusively ( o the up
building and promoting of Norfolk. It
was thought that by combining the
position of secretary of the club with
that of secretary of a credit assocla-
! tion which the business men present
. were unanimously in favor of , some
high class expert In city building might
I not be an Impossibility.
Following were the nine directors
elected : A. L. Killian , W. J. Stadel
man. J. E. Haase , F. A. Beeler , C. J ,
Fleming. H. A. PasowalkV. . A. Wit
/.Igman , L. P. Pasewalk , and C. P. Par
ish and P. M. Barrett tying for ninth
place. A motion was made to Increase
the directorate to ten and the whole
matter was then left with the direct
ors.
I There were about 125 business men
present. A hot lunch was a feature ol
the evening , followed by a smoker.
| All were enthusiastic in expressing
the hope that the club might be main-
tallied in its active work for the bene
lit of Norfolk. Mr. Killian made an
appeal for new members and the mem
hership , it was stated , is oven now Iiv
creasing.
The president and directors who at
first said they could not serve again
pointed out the fact that such work U
done at a sacrifice of private business
and that it Involves considerable wor
ry and constant hard work. Friends
of these olllcers , however , argued that
some live wires must take hold of ii
community's public work , or the com
munlty would suffer. The votes were
considered as very highly compllmen
tary to the old board and it is stili
hoped that those who at first though !
it would be Impossible to serve , ninj
change their minds and continue.
The club during the past year has
done much and has begun a number ol
important movements which are no !
| yet ready for final culmination or an
nouncement. There are big things in
] store , if present plans are carried
through.
After a few selections of the Norfolk
j band President A. L. Killian called the
, meeting to order with a brief sketcl
of the club's work during the past year
He said that the new rating of 50 cents
! per month for membership shouli
bring in many more new members te
t
the club , and urged business men am' '
citizens interested in the city's welfare
to join the club. He thanked the d !
rectors and said ho could not have
j worked with a better board ; that they
had worked hard for the entire com
munity with a hearty co-operation will
each other.
"Fake advertising" and lower freighi
rates were the topics discussed b\
members who made short addresses
In his report Secretary J. D. Sturgeoi
says with ( he aid of the secret com
mlttee , whose names are only knowi
( o the secretary and the president
they eliminated the fake advertising
( o such an exent ( that Norfolk's meth
od has been taken up by odier ( owns
Treasurer L. P. Pasowalk repored r
balance of $157.39 in the treasury. His
statement showed that the basebal
club was short $50 at the end of the
season and this was made up by the
club. The race meet was also short
The Fourth of July celebration , ac
cording to the treasurer's repor ( , was
a money geUer and left a balance ii
the treasury out of which other short
ages were paid.
Owing to the Illness of M. D. Tylei
and the Inability of Mayor John Frl
day to be present , they did not dellvei
their scheduled speeches.
John R. Hays made a short address
which was the feature address of the
evening. It was brief and precise. Mr
Hays said people were foolish to us <
fake advertising. Ho also had reference
once to the advertising In the window !
of business places which , lie said , dc
no good. Advertisements should ge
out through a medium which reaches
many people , said Mr llavs. He sail
the kickers should hold off a little ant
help to encourage the directors of th <
Commercial club In their work , and
appreciate the hard work ( hey have
done heretofore.
W. R. Hoffman , who was appointed
on a committee- ( confer with the rail
way olllclals as to a new depot and
elimination of switching on Norfolk
avenue , had nothing to report , saying
that although ( he t-nllroad olllclals ) say
Norfolk has ( heir heary ( good wishes
and co-operation , nothing has been
done to relieve the situation. Mr. Hoff
man made a short address and con
gratulated the club on the work done.
W. H. Blakeman , In a short address ,
said olllcial statements show that the
various railroads In Norfolk take $250.-
ooii out of Norfolk yearly and that nf
this amount the Union Pacific gets
$110,000 per year more than the North
western.
H. C1. Malrau. In a short address ,
said the consumer of Hock Springs
coal pays $ -l."o per ton for freight
charges alone , and If Norfolk expects
to get freight rates here they must
spend time and money.
Rev. Hdwin Booth , jr. , to give the
meeting a little life In the way of ad
vertising , said :
"If a man has something to sell and
whispers it down a well. h6 doesn't
get as many dollars as the man who
climbs up a tree and hollers. " Mr.
Booth said :
"In my business I cannot lie. You
are business men. The 'directors on
the hoard of the Commercial club , said
Mr. Booth , should not be expected to
do all the work. All the members
"should get busy and boost. "
The lunch served by the directors
proved an unusual success. The idea
of the hot roast beef sandwiches , with
pickles , coffee and after-lunch cigars ,
made a hit with those present , who
commented upon the wise forethought
of the hoard In thus providing.
The Norfolk band , under leadership
of M. V. Avery , was a pleasant fea-
( lire of the meeting. The baud has
been directed by Mr. Avery during several
oral months past , without pay for the1
leader , and Its work last night demon
strated that the organization has certainly
tainly fallen into capable hands.
Boosting.
Norfolk , Nob. , Jan. S. Editor News :
What every town needs Is boosters ;
There are too many frogs to roosters
Frown on the croak , encourage the
crow
And you will see Norfolk prosper and
grow.
One of the first men I met in the
city said , "The merchants do not ptili
together , ( hero is no jhibllc spirit , jeal
ousy and selfishness dominate. " I tool ;
him for a knocker.
When another man told me ( he same
story , I concluded that both were quot
ing some one authority. When a thire
produced the wail I wondered if there
might not be something in It. Will
the fourth repetition I took it for i
fact. The fifth man I agreed with , nni
we decided that there was no use try
ing to do anything for town improve
ment.
This is the way "dead-heads ; ' are
*
made. Pessimism is contagious .
Suppose the complaint is partly true
we are not obliged to ( ell it. and spoi :
( he atmosphere , when there Is bettei
truth to tell. It makes a difference
whether you hang a picture with the
face or the back to the wall.
There Is another side to the storj
of Norfolk. Wo do have a good mini
her of live , up-to-date , public spirited
citizens that any city could be prom :
of. It is only necessary that drearm
and wishes be translated into resolution
tion ami our hiuhest hopes will be
realized. If we men will work togethei
as well as we talk , and as earnestly as
we eat at Commercial club luncheons
we will have a metropolis in no time
We have about the best schools in the
state , and a business college. The Y
M. C. A. is assured , the library is tin
der construction ; the Chautauqua as
sembly is worthy of note ; we furnisl
the news to a very large territory , am1
sell goods much farther than most ol
us realize.

You will be excused , outside of bus !

about our radiating tracks that yen
