" Now York Globe : Who Is tha au thor of the cost of production rule as the proper one to apply in meas uring protection ? William H. Taft , The doctrine was first conspicuously approved by the Ohio republican con vention that presented the name of Mr. Taft as a presidential candidate , The proposition Mr. Taft defended and I eiucidated in his Columbus speech be ' fore his nomination and in his let tor of acceptance and campaign address - dress afterward. It was by Mr. Taft's , express approval that the language ol the Ohio platform was transferred tc , and Inserted In the national platform , The Iowa "Insurgents , " although ap parently unaware of the fact , In ; dorsed a distinctive Taft policy. ; Who has been the most earnest and s potent advocate of a permanent tar ! iff board with authority to inquire . into and report on differences in pro t ductlve costs ? William H. Taft. This has been one of the president's pel ideas. He has pushed It on all pos sible occasions , In regular messages and special messages. When effori j was made to eliminate the commlsslor . section from the Payne-Aldrich bll he compelled its restoration. Agalr i the Iowa "Insurgents" Indorsed a dis tlnctive Taft policy. So It also Is as i to the third proposition. The presl dent has expressed approval of piece 1 meal revision , which seems a neces t sary implication of the other features t of the Taft tariff policy. j Yet the Iowa "insurgents , " althougl thus almost slavishly following tin 2 president in the Held of idea , havi f placed themselves in the category o antl-adminlstrationlsts by giving bin . but a .qualified Indorsement and b ; i condemning his signature to tin B Payne-Aldrich bill. Because he tool i- what he could get and bided his tinn s until ho could get more he is assailed iTills is far-fetched attack. His cholo iwas not between what he wanted , bu 1 between the DIngley schedules and th Payno-Aldrlch schedules. If ho htn withheld his signature the Dingle ; n schedules would still bo in exlstonc f with their higher rates of duty , t It Is sufficiently obvious that diffei ionces over the tariff are not the res t son for the heat of the turbulent low ' convention. This may be the surfac y excuse for the row , but the real cans , Is deeper and different. Ambltlou a men are struggling for control , an J , they arc rallying their partisans. Th y "Insurgents" complain bitterly becaus d Attorney General Wlckorsham rea if them ont'of the party and asked thn J- , , their leaders bo relegated to prlvat rlife. . The "insurgents" are doing th ' > very thing of which they have con d plained. They are engaged In th n business of trying to stigmatize an o retire republican loaders who onjo | the confidence of other states an g constituencies. Because Preside ! o Taft has refused to Join in thes measures of expulsion ho Is fallen upon. His offense Is not that ho sign ed the Payno-Aldrlch bill , but that ho has not always followed the ad vice of the "Insurgent" leaders and has consulted with the republican lead ers , as lie found them , In both houses of congress. Shallenberger vs. Dahtman. Fremont Tribune : Governor Shal lenbergcr Is making an adroit appeal to the democratic votora for their sup port at the primaries next week , as his speech at the courthouse Satur day evening showed. There was evidence ot a contest be tween him and Mayor Jim Dahlman of some degree of bitterness. The governor declares he is entitled to a renomlnntlon without opposition , not > nly because ho Is ono of the few lotnocrats who have boon chosen lilef executor of the commonwealth , nit because of his record which ho , ilmself , admits Is n most excellent > ne. But , ho says , the bad element of its party was peeved because ho sign- jd the 8 o'clock closing * law for sa- ooria , even after several tralnloads of Omaha democrats had presented ilm a petition In boots requesting him lot to sign It ; and so this bad nlo- nont brought out Mayor Jim as a can didate against him. That the mayor s causing trouble Is quite evident , for the governor is hurling things at Him that hurt when they hit. The governor bids for republican votes at the primaries because it. Is the boast of the mayor that ho Is go ing to get the votes of anti-option re publicans at the primaries. The gov ernor pays the republicans the de served compliment of x saying that there are a good many more decent republicans than disreputable ones uul that he is willing to share witli Dahlman on this basis. But , of course , with a few excep tions , the republicans will permit .heso two rival candidates to settle ; heir own family row In their own way ; to wash their dirty linen In their own back yard. Mayor Jim is flat-footed against county option and will veto a bill for It If ono is passed. The governor will sign one if it is passed. This peculiar attitude Is the result of his'doing a bare-back stunt of riding two horses going in opposite directions. The democratic convention declares against county option. The populist convention declared for county op tion. The governor is a candidate of both parties. The governor is against county option but will sign a bill for it. The mayor is against county op * tlon and will not sign n bill for it. Democrats may take their choice. Assuming that the governor will bo renomlnated , as the Tribune believes lie will be , it is pertinent to observe that he is placing great emphasis upon the merits of the 8 o'clock closing aw. As we have hitherto shown only five republican members In both the houses of the legislature voted against the 8 o'clock bill while an over whelming majority of the democratic members voted against it. Therefore but for the solidarity of the republi can members favorable to the bill , It would not have afforded the gover nor an instrument wherewith to to at tempt the salvation of his political life. And , incidentally , it should not be overlooked that Frank P. Lawrence who is an unopposed candidate at the democratic primaries , was one of the representatives who cast their vote against the 8 o'clock law , which is declared by the democratic govern or to be such a wholesome measure. What will Shallenberger democrats do to him when they get the oppor tunity on election day ? Finally , we will be permitted to observe , also , that the governor can not In good conscience , object to the action of the liquor interests in bring ing out a candidate against him. They raised ? 15,000 in Omaha for the Shallenberger campaign of two years ago and in view of this he tacitly agreed to stand by them. This is ac- cbrdlng to common reports of the last two years , which have undoubtedly come to be widely accepted as the truth. How would you , gentle reader , feel about It If after you have bet $15,000 on a man he should throw you down ? The governor can ride two horses as well as the next one but can ho make a virtue of treachery ? Had Narrow Escape. Dodge Criterion : Monday after noon Henry Pietzmeler , John Marok and Joseph Deppe met with an acci dent that might easily have cost them their lives. They were moving their hoary threshing outfit and were crossing n steel bridge acres the Maple about twelve miles south of town. Marek was guiding the steam engine and the other two were placing planks on the bridge iloor for it to run on , when one side of the bridge gave way with ' ' out warning and the entire outfit lei e ! to the bottom , about thirty-live feet. t Only one side of the bridge broke 0 thus letting the heavy engine and 1 j thresher slide off. The bridge re Y mained hanging to the firm side There was no warning and the mer had no opportunity to run or jump. All three were caught and bruised Marek had his back hurt and was a i terribly bruised about the face am o body. Pietzmeier was also brulset e and cut and had an ankle broken. s I Deppo was cut about the face anc d neck and had some ribs broken. Ale o ! though severely hurt , It Is thought ale o | will recover. Falling that dlstnnci d , mixed with the machinery the men an it extremely lucky to escape alive. o , o j TUESDAY TOPICS. o W. S. Slaughter of Herrlck wa d I hore. y ' Sheriff C. S.

Discouraged with financial loss by the destruction of their farm and home in Colorado some time ago by prairie fires , Mr. and Mrs. 0. D. Buckley have returned to Norfolk to stay. Some time ago they loft the city for Colorado rado , where they had a farm. A short time after all their farm buildings were destroyed by a prairie flre. They have returned and declare they are much discouraged and expect to re main here. Mr ; and Mrs. Buckley live on Hayes avenue. C. Andrews , the painter who arrived from Arlington , very ill , and who was given treatment by Dr. J. H. Mackay , city physician , was given a railroad ticket and fifty cents and sent to Sioux City.

Shak ing with an attack of chills and fever the painter told a hard luck story , lit had worked at Ills trade all over the state and was sorry If he had to be "dumped onto the shoulders of ilie Norfolk authorities , " but ho was ill and he could not help it , he said. On recommendation of the mayor , tin sick man was turned over to the cl'.j physician who gave him treatments for his illness. Dr. Green at Chautauqua. "Signs of the Times and Future America , " was the subject of Dr Thomas Green's lecture on the chau tauqua platform yesterday afternoon A fair sized crowd were seated in the largo tent and the doctor was heartllj applauded. Dr. Green contends thai America Is the country that every na tion today looks to for their future "Mathew Arnold was right when h ( said : 'America holds the future , " said Dr. Green. Dr. Green Is a strong advocate o America's holding up the peace stan dard and during his lecture ho ex claimed that there was but ono thlnf ho would bo proud to see changed 01 the American flag. Not that ho want ed it advertised , or spread broadcast but printed across the stars am stripes the word "peace" should ar pear. Ho based his argument on America1 ! defense , not with the battleships , for tresses or other warfare , but on tin production of grain from the sol alone. The corn crop itsulf In one sen son , he said , could pay the national debt of the United States , Including the interest up to July 31 ; the work of the Panama canal and all other debts. No country Is looking for war with the United States , says Dr. Green , not because they fear the army and navy , hut because they depend on our pro ducts. If the ports should bo closed to the outside world during war , within six months their own people would ho clamoring for food. "When the farmer holds the lid | down over the bread basket , the vic tory Is won. " j The doctor spoke very little on | Japan , although his last year's lecture was on his trip of Investigation In Unit country. "Tho Truth About ' Japan" was the subject of that lec ture. Dr. Green says his predictions ! then , have all proved correct. "I don't think there Is anyone today who will live to see the day when the United States will go to war with j Japan , " he said. i Ho told of how the soil throughout Japan had been worked over for so many thousands of years that today i It must be fertilized to grow anything. ' America , however , Is different. The 1 soil Is now , productive , and In short , Is ' our only future defense. America has made Itself necessary to the rest of the world. It must now keep Itself that way. He went a little Into American his tory , telling of the Louisiana purchase , the entrance of Oregon to the United States and most interesting of all the state of Texas which was for six months a republic of its own , with a president and a constitution. This , however , was of short duration and at the opportunity , Texas knocked on the door of the United States and was received with open arms. This state , he says , is the only state in the union which the United States did not light for or pay one cent. Texas fought for Itself , freed itself and then came Into the union without any expense to the United States. Ho told of how Alaska lias paid for Itself over and over again , saying that the lumber hogs have now lleeced the country from so much lumber that Alaska today stands alone as a part of the union which can provide lumber for the construction of vessels , a coun try where timber stands ready to be turned into vessels which can again comprise the once American merchant marine which ruled on the high seas. Hawaii , on the other hand , is the most important coaling station in the country. Both these territories , when asking admission to the union , were fought against by the congressmen. Speaking of modern science , Dr. Green said Edison was right in pre dicting that in ten years airships would be carrying mail , in the manner of the steams train now. He believed In ten years he could leave Chicago on the "transcontinental airline" one night and reach Norfolk for breakfast the next morning. "Now you mark my prediction , " he said , "see if I am not right. " The evening's program was a con cert given by the Otterbein male quar tette. The Chautauqua Ladies' or chestra was due for Norfolk last night , but were held at Neligh for the reason that the Otterbein male quartet found it impossible to get to Neligh in time to give their entertainment , so the two organizations were switched. After the prelude Tuesday afternoon by the Otterbein male quartet , Governor H. A. Buchtel , the preacher- governor of Colorado and chancellor of the University of Denver , will lec ture. The quartet will give a concert In the evening. Brick for the Paving. The city council has let a contract to pave seven blocks of Norfolk av enue with brick. Katz , Craig & Co. were the low bidders for the brick paving. The city attorney was instructed to send the contract to Omaha to be signed and returned for the approval of the city council. The Katz , Craig company' * bid was | 2.10 per square yard for five- inch base and a 22-test quality of brick. Mr. Craig says he will go to work as soon as possible and if noth ing happens to hinder his work the paving will be laid this fall. The bid of William Gobler was re jected , as was the Lana Construction company's bid of $1.591per square yard for concrete paving , not figuring . j on the curbing. M. Ford of Omaha I bid $2.04 , Purington brick , but on only i p ) a four-inch base. J. W. Turner's bid ! i for brick was $2.34 and for creosote , ' block $2.49. In all there were five i bids and two of them were rejected. A number of the contractors bid on ' [ creosote block , which came as high as . $2.59 per square yard and as low as ' $2.49. Craig's former bid was $2.29 , i and according to the city engineer there will be a great deal of differ ence in the brick quality. WHEN YOU ARE CROSS. Women Yield to "Nerves" and Inflict Misery on Husband and Children. Buffalo News : The sin of being tired ! What do I mean ? Just what I said. You cannot be tired without feeling cross ; you cannot bo tired without looking cross. And cross pee pie are not an addition to any so ciety. Don't you know after a long day's * work how you feel all nerves ? And you are quite aware that the "least little thing will upset you. " Well , you have no business to fool like that. You can't help It ? Yes , you can. The fact of the matter is you dc i not try. | "Feeling tired" seems the natural order dor of things when you have been do Ing too much. Unfortunately other peonlo have tr suffer as well ns yourself , and inno a cently. They can't help it If you wll ' overtax your strength. l" "It is all for them" Yes. but lool < at the price they have to pity. You can't bo yourself when you are look ing cross , and husband and children are depressed by the spectacle. When a man conies homo from his work ho wants to see something more cheerful than a washed-out woman. "For good ness * sake go to bed ? " ho has some times said in despair. "You look like a dying duck In a thunder storm. " And the woman feels badly used. After she has been slaving all day for him he can't even bo sympathetic. She forgets that ho doesn't want her to slave , and she doesn't know that her appearance Is a reproach. The wo man who is tired cannot help looking a martyr , and the man feels she is tired on his account. And she soon tells him so If ho dares to make any remark , for she has lost control of her nerves In fa tigue of mind and body. If there are children to dance upon those nerves , woe betide the children ! And all this because she Is tired. Women don't know how solllsli they are in inlllctlng this three-fold misery upon husband and children. "What Is the mutter with mother ? " said a schoolboy anxiously. "I haven't heard her speak a pleasant word for a week. " That Is just the point wo men keep tholr tiredness and cross ness for the time when husband and children are at home. Colome Trims Dallas. Colome , S. IX , Aug. 10. Special to The News : In a loose , but interesting game hero last Sunday , Colomo defeated - feated the strong Dallas team , cham pions of western Gregory county , by a score of 4 to 1. Reed in the box for the homo team pitched a Hover game , and received good support In the pinches. Colomo knocked Dexter out of the box in the third and Parker , who succeeded him , prevented fuither scoring. Witten plays here Saturday , the deciding game for the champion ship of Trlpp county , while on Sun day Dallas and Witten meet on the Colome diamond to settle a series of throe games , which stands a victory each. The score : , " II. H. E. Dallas . . . .1 0000000 0--1 6 S Colome . . .11200000 x 4 8 3 Batteries : Colome , Reed and Ford ; Dallas , Dexter , Parker and Hess. O'Neill , Nob. , Aug. 10. Special to The News : The Holt county race meet , beginning today , promises to be the best of Its kind since the organi zation of the association. A large string of the best harness and running liorses are here to go for the big imrses put up by the management. The track Is In perfect condition , and the weather ideal. Hotly contested races are looked for , as every horse is on edge. Two of the principal streets are rapidly being converted into a city of tents and booths. The Savidge Bros. Carnival company will entertain the crowds during the evening. A number of other good attractions are liere to 'please the visitors on the ground. Hamburger , peanut and refreshment stands are filling up every opening be tween the business houses , and the air Is filled with the cry of the spieler. The most popular resort of the visitor Is the Electric theater , where the mov ing pictures of the Jeffries and John son contest , and also the championship battle between Joe Cans and Battling Nelson are being exhibited day and night. At the race track a ball game will l > e played every day between the best teams of the northwest , and as those games will be played before the races begin , the games will be fast and classy. The visitors to the races are assured of the best of protection , as the police are not allowing any sus picious characters to stay in town , but are hustled out as soon as they are spotted. The race meet officials have made strenuous efforts to make this meet a record breaker and from all appearances they are making good. Witten Makes a Boast. Witten , S. D. , Aug. 10. Special to The News : In a decidedly one-sided game in which the Witten champions took advantage of the opportunity to get a little practice from a bunch of players from Roseland they skinned them to the tune of 10 to 5. In the first three inning the champions ac tually played horse with the Roseland team , and allowed them to make five scorces after which it was impossible for the Roseland outlit to find the ball without their spectacles , and not one of them brought their spectacles along with them. After the third Inning it was ono , two , three and away for the Roseland players , and the champions batted the ball wherever and when ever they pleased. The champions have only lost two games this sea son and yet the Colome bunch of hired players after having played only three or four games have nerve enough to claim the championship of the Rosebud country. The Witten champions can give any team in this country five outs to their three , and make monkeys out of everyone of them. The champions have played twenty-six games this season and to date have lost but two games. There are men In this community who , are standing ready to bet $1,000 against $500 that with Reed and Barrett as the battery they can beat any team in northeastern Nebraska or South Dakota. If you don't bellovo this write to Captain Guy Hood and your money will be covered quicker than a cat can lick her tali. The battery Sunday for Rosoland : Shiner and Lundak ; Witten , Wllkerson and BPT- rett. CASE COMES UP WEDNESDAY. Madison County Register of Deeds > I Case to Be Decided Then.

Perdue , dop- ity state superintendent of public In struction , Is n candidate for the noinl- lation of state superintendent of pub- lo Inn'ructlon on the republican tlckot. Mr. IVrduo's excellent work as deputy state superintendent has won for him the respect and conlldonco of all school men and friends of education. Ho has practiced the "square deal for nil the school Interests In the state , " iind stands for a common sense prac tical education. Misrepresenting Burkett. Fremont Tribune : If we were to treat the senatorial candidacy of C. O. Whodon In a serious manner wo would say ho makes the mistake of proceeding upon the theory that ho mist attack Senator Burkott , Instead if outlining his own policies. It Is not i good foundation upon which to build. It Is evidence , however , that Senator Burkott is very strong , and Is therefore recognition of a fact. Mr. Whedon had oodles of money md is spending it freely for printers' ink , with the hope of undermining Senator Burkott. Many of his state- nents are misleading. Some of those , with the authority of Senator Bur- ket as to his own position wo note below - low : "Mr. Burkett voted against free lum ber , " assorts Candidate Whedon. The facts in the matter are that Senator Burkett worked for free lum ber , spoke for free lumber and voted for free lumber , and the record so shows. Mr. Whedon says that "Senator Burkett voted against an amendment reducing the duty on barbed wire. " Senator Burkett Introduced an amendment reducing ( lie duty on barb wire from $2.70 per hundred to soventy-llve cents per hundred and the record so shows. Mr. Whedon further says that "Senator Burkett voted to increase the duty on boots and shoes. " The facts in the case are that no body voted to increase the duty on boots and shoes. On the other hand the duty was lowered 6C percent by the new law. Are the people going to be de ceived by such misrepresentations of n faithful public official's recommendable - X. dable record ? Congressional Candidates. Fremont Tribune : Two republican candidates have filed for the primary nomination for representative in con gress from this , the Third district. These two contestants are Lawson G. Brian , present state treasurer , and J. F. Boyd of Neligh. Both men are good men and either would creditably represent this dis trict nt Washington. Mr. Brian has made good ns a state ofllcial. Ho has an excellent record to Ills credit as custodian of the state's exchequer and as a member of the various state boards to which ho belongs. Mr. .Boyd has also proven his quality as a public ollicial. He has been county attorney of Antelope county , judge of his judicial district and for two years a member of con gress. After serving his constituents for two years at Washington ho was renomlnated without opposition. In the election which followed there was a slump to democracy in Nebraska , by reason of the Bryan presidential can didacy and he was defeated. He de served an election then and we believe this year his delayed deserts should be accorded him. He was an efficient member of the house. He was de voted to the interest ot his constitu ency. Ho was faithful to duty , always In his scat , always in attendance upon committee meetings , where the real and efficient legislative work is done. Doing a student of public affairs and having had experience at Washington which counts for much , it would ap pear clearly the proper thing for this district to send him back to his for mer scat to assist this republican ad ministration to carry out its great problems of reform. It is casting no aspersion upon Mr. Brian to say wo believe Mr. Boyd the more available candidate. He is not an unknown quantity and his re cord commends him for tills nomina tion. From South Dakota Papers. Burke Gazette : The fact is that the publication of the statements does not do the people of South Dakota n bit of good nor safeguard them in any way. There is one of them in the Gazette now , and wo defy any or dinary man to look it over and tell what it nil means and whether or not the company is operating on a sound basis. It is usoles to try to deny that the system of publishing Insurance statements was inaugurated for the purpose of furnishing patronage with which to keep newspapers in line , and for absolutely no other purpose and had it not failed of its purpose there would probably bo no talk now of re pealing the law. Mitchell Republican : The people of South Dakota can afford to buy auto mobiles as well as those of any other state in the union. They have made money generally and they should not \ bo denied the pleasure of spending some of it. Automobiles nro expensive but their use is an entirely virtuous recreation and healthful withal.
