That the problem , of what to do witl

In Senator Elihu Root of New York
those who are behind the movcmen

will be recognized at once , is back o
his speech.

TAFT'S FIGHTING BLOOD UP.
The Canadian reciprocity agreemen
promises to become one of the mos
important factors in the noteworthy
administration of President Taft. Act

support of this measure as he ha
never done before , and with all of thi
power of his office he is pressing congress
gross for ratification.
The president has declared to tin
party leaders that unless they adop
this agreement , in an effort to reduct
high prices , a sentiment will swee ]
the country to wipe from the statuti
books the last vestige of protectivi
tariff.
He has shown that the farmer neet
not worry ; that there is no more con

the price of wheat , while it may b <
steadied , will still depend upon Livei

The argument that the only line es
Isting between Canada and this couc
try is now the line of customs houses
and that this barrier to trade inter
course between two nations so closel ;
allied otherwise , ought to be ton
down , is meeting with approval in a !
parts of the country , without regan
to political party , and the farmers fo
the most part are not worrying eve
the result of closer relationship witl
the neighbors on the north.
The president has declared that a :
extra session of congress will b
called if this congress falls to act o :
the agreement The country think
he means what he says , and for th
most part Is glad of it.
COMMFJRCIAL CLUB WORK.
The Norfolk Commercial club is dc
ing a great many things just now tha
are of vital importance to the deve :
opment and growth of Norfolk , am
the club should be given the hearties
co-operation and support of every cit :
zcn of the community.
Without organization such as th
Commercial club represents , efforts a
developing the resources of the cit ;
and tributary territory would prov
futile and headway would be as diff
cult as with a drifting and rudderles
ship.
Among other undertakings of th
Commercial club , it is to bo noted tha
that organization has begun a vigoi
ous and practical campaign towar
greater development of that richest o
all industries in this vicinity th
farm. And the campaign in this direc
lion , so commendable In every wa
and based upon such sound logic , i
bound to bring great results In puttin
Norfolk on the map In red Ink.
The greatest effort along this line i
the Commercial club's plan to mak
Norfolk a producing center of big
grade draft horses , for which purpos
twenty high grade Belgian horses ar
now enrouto across the Atlantic t
this city. This is a now industry tha
the Commercial club knows will b
successful , and It Is sure to give Noi
folk not only a unique niche in th
live stock world , but a constant lutlov
of money from nil over tbo country , ai
well.
Another Important achievement Ii
the oiling of a road out of Norfolk
into the farm country , to be done Ii
the spring by the Commercial club ni
contractor Jor the county.
And then the movement to glv <
away a quantity of fine seed corn , am
to give prizes for the best corn pro
duced from It , Is another Commercla
enterprise that will be n starter for ai
Important industry. Blair , Neb. , 1 :
said to bo one of the seed corn centers
ters of the world and most Blair con
sells for ? 6 to $10 a bushel. There I :
no reason why Norfolk fanners shoul <
not do as well.
The Commercial club directors an
doing big things for Norfolk , am
every citizen of the city should glvi
the club his moral and financial sup
port by joining. Membership come
at fifty cents a month nnd there ough
to lie 300 members , or more.
THE BIBLE'S WORDING.
The tercentennial of the Kini
James version of the English Bibl
was observed February 7 all over th
British empire , and 1ms been notci
In many American churches.
The genius manifested by this fn
mous translation Is Indicated by th
difficulty with which it Is being su | :
planted by the revised version. 1
is an open question whether the mn
Jority of the protestant , churches havi
or have not adopted the latter , tin
New Testament form of which wa
issued just thirty years ago. Tin
King James version came Into general
al use forty years after it was print
ed. Although the present is a tlnn
when new ideas aiv accepted witl
comparative rapidity , the IP vised vet
sion is accepted with much more dlf
flculty than the version It succeeded
The hold of the King James or an
thorized version is due to Its styli
of matchless vigor. In the emleavo :
to secure a more literal accuracy , tin
revisers of 1881 blurred and tonei
down many virile old phrases , and of
ten broke up the musical rhythn
which gives the older version a poet
io charm.
The Bible owes Its peculiarly viril <
language which has immeasurably In
fluenccd English speech largely to tin
genius of John Wlclif and Willian
Tyndalo. Wiclif's purpose was to pro
duce a translation suth that the "pon
man might read the truth. " Hence hi
adopted homely every day terms o
English speech , discarding the mon
elegant and literal , but less vigoroiii
forms of Anglicized Latin.
Charles A. Dana of the New Yorl
Sun , In some respects tlio most bril
llant journalist over produced in tbii
country , once spoke of familiarity witl
the Bible as one of the most desirab ! <
qualifications for a newspaper writer
Mr , Dana's genius was not of a church
ly type. But his keen intellect recog
nlzed the immense stores of practlca
insight into human life , and the won
derful vigor of English style , whicl
makes the Bible a peerless book , evei
apart from all spiritual significance.
