Mayor Friday ought to hitch his
wagon to a star. AH part of a political
harangue to the city council , point
Ing out what a great mayor ho had
been and why he must be retained In
the position , he said : "I know moro
about city business than old man Huso
or the whole Huso family. " That
ought to qualify him for the white
house , instead of a mere mayoralty.
It might be just as well to turn
some of theee convicted Norfolk bootleggers
loggers over to the rock pile In the
city Jail yard , and let them help do a
little good work toward the city's
streets , as to give them their liberty
on a small fine. Now that the rock
pile Is at hand , them Is no reason
why it should not bo oftener used for
the purpose for which It was Intend
ed.
Michigan defeated woman suffrage
by a vote of fifty-JIvo to forty-five. Ye
none of the legislators will deny tha
the average woman is as well qualified
to vote as the average man. The
,
thing that prevents a moro rapid ad
vance of woman suffrage is that so
-
few women want to vote. When the
-
Americans are as anxious for equa
suffrage as English women are , they
will have It granted promptly.
Mayor Friday , for some reason o
other , seems to want to hold onto the
office of mayor. He's not at all pleas
ed that some other democrat should
have the audacity to bo mentioned fo
the nomination. And ho goes on record
ord as guaranteeing that the demo
cratic city convention will renomlnnte
him. What's the use of holding a con
vention apparently the democrats
won't have anything to say about it ,
anyway.

The Germans have made salesmanship
scientific as they do everything. They

It was feared at first that in the

The republican insurgents have been
at a loss to know what the popular
trend was going to be In regard tc
this subject. But they may feel ful

president's Canadian policy they car
be right and popular at the same

< The president sees th.e crisis not sc
very far away at best that must be
met by every industrial nation as pop
illation .increases , industry thrives
trade expands , and a surplus of manu
factured goods require a foreign mar
ket. England met this crisis one wnj
in the forties , Germany met it in an
other way in the eighties. In Ger
many agriculture and manufacture :
kept protection together , in Englanc
they lost it altogether. Every notioi
mutt meet the crisis in one way 01
the other. Free trade in farm pro *
ducts means free trade in the thlngi
farmers buy.

The city council for once refused to
n > bulldozed by the mayor into adopt-
UK his honor's pet hobby. And he
even tried to lead tin ; council Into vot-
for the resolution by declaring
that "it meant nothing at all , " that
It "had nothing to do with calling n
Ijond election for 'i $55,000 street
lighting plant. " Thia wns pretty near
ly as raw as the mayor's tactics of a
few weeks ago when ho refused to
allow the council to act on the resolu
tion , declaring that no matter could
bo brought up for reconsideration ,
showing either the grossest Ignorance
of Roberts' rules of order , or else a
deliberate intent to deceive the city
council in order to railroad his own
t hobby through tlmt body.
NEBRASKA SHOULD ADVERTISE.
Governor Aldrlch in a speech at
Lincoln the other night advocated a
legislative appropriation for advertis
ing Nebraska. This is in line with
a movement which was set on foot al
most a year ago in Norfolk , and it is
in line with modern business methods.
If Nebraska Is to gain her fair pro
portion of population , judicious ad
vertising of the stato'n resources must
be done and the people of Nebraska
will have something charged up to
the present legislature If that body
falls to meet this demand.
There Is complaint because farmers
are Hocking to Texas and to Canada
Complaint , however , won't prevenl
the emigration. Only the right kind
of advertising can overcome thih
movement , or , rather , bring about :
similar Immigration for this state.
Nebraska is a state of Ercat possl
blllties , not nearly so thickly settled
as its rich lands would justify. But
the people looking for locations of
this kind don't know the facts.
The state could well afford to appropriate
propriato $100,000 for advertising pur
> oses , and If it fails to approprinte a
; bed portion of that amount , we cm
je classed as back numbers.
THE S O'CLOCK SALOON LAW.
The proposed amendment to the
Nebraska 8 o'clock saloon closing law
which would permit cities of over
r > ,000 population to decide at wha
hour of the night their saloons shouli
close , will not find favor with UK
people of Nebraska. The bill wil
not find support in even the cttiefc o
over 5,000 , unless it be in Omaha.
Nebraska people now feel that thej
have a pretty good snloon regulation
law. The saloonkeepers , themselves
are well statisfied with the law as I
stands today. And to so amend the
present statute as to give cities o
over 5,000 option as to whether o
not they should live up to the exist
ing law or extend the time limit foi
3
saloon closing , would merely preclpl
,
tate an everlasting local row betwecr
the 'early" closing faction and the
"lato" closers.
It Is easy to contemplate the bitterness
terness which such an amendment te
3
the Jaw would inject into municipa
campaigns. The whole fitness of i
man for office would come to be meas
ured by the view ho took of the sa
loon closing hour.
There is perhaps no better llquoi
regulation anywhere than in Nebrns
ka right now. And the liquor inter
ests , themselves , ought to have learn
ed by the narrow escape they jus
sustained over county option , tha
they'd be wise to let well enougl
alone.
OVER ALL AMERICA ?

The starched , bewlgged and frlllei

They do not understand the Amer
t.can temperament over there. On
gets some idea of it by comparing di ;
ferencee between the various section
of our own country. With the conson
atlvc New Englander , speech is guari
cd , premeditated. In his mind ther
a Is u certain obloquy attaching to an
failure to realize all of his words i
actual performance. He Is not nrj
to announce his plans until ho ha
the means for carrying them out nal
it cd down tight.
The American weeterner , on th
contrary , is accustomed to revet
it those more transitory purposes fern
ed by all of us In secret thought , eve
Is If the cold reflection of the niornln
after should reveal those purposes a
Illusory.
The former temperament is th
safer , the latter the more Interestini
It Is In the latter spirit that man
of our statesmen often speak wit

AROUND TOWN.
There is this advantage In shaving

nornlng : When you cut yourself , nt

the residue of a slaughter house all

A Norfolk 'bridge" club now spends

Back to the mountains , you are
wild you Rock county robin.
According- Mayor Friday , Norfolk
just has to re-elect him or the town
will go to the dogs. He's the only
mayor who ever has done anything for
the city. * He's held the job two terms
and there's something about It that
he likes so well , that he's willing-
nay , anxious to keep right on boss
ing the town. And OF COURSE he'll
be re-elected. OF COURSE. HO\t
could this town run without him ?
Will the first robin last ?
We hope both Oakdale and N
succeed In getting the state capital.
Is the barometer high enough foi
you ?
The mayor says he won't have to
run independently. He says the dera
ocrats have got to renomlnate him
And who gives the democrats of Nor
folk their orders , if not His Honor9
Shoulder arms , democrats ! Forward !
March ! ! Hep. Hep. Hep.
How these rfrls do grow up ! A
former Norfolk school girl came back
to town the other day for a visit , and
got her name in the paper as "Miss
. " Now it transpires that she's
been married three years. The re
porter who did it , ought to "buy. "
A Norfolk woman planning to send
away to a dressmaker to have a gown
designed , found that among othe'r
i'acts she'd have to tell the dress
maker , Is her age. So she wrote : "I'm
52 , but everybody say * 1 look younger
than that. "
We'd like to be right sure that that
"robin" which was seen by "Rock
county school teacher , " wasn't a snow
bird.
Wu often wonder , in reading over
the "Around Town" column , why the
man who runs it doesn't print an item
now and then about "furnace golf"
or just straight golf the kind that's
soon-to-be-played. It's a great little
idea.
a
u Poor Marjorlc Gould ! Think of the
humiliation of having to sit there and
see your husband knocked out by your
brother-in-law's brother , in three short
rounds.
If the state capital is to be moved ,
here's hoping the Oakdale bid will be
successful.
Another sign that spring is near :
3T The tramps are arriving.
3-
tMayor Friday declares the demo
crats will nominate him. That ought
to settle it , whether the democrats
want him as their candidate or not.
But then the mayor also declared up
and down that the limit of seven
would be taken off the number of sa
loons in Norfolk. When he found he
. couldn't bulldoze the council into his
way of thinking , he got pouty , put on
his hat and went home , refusing to
put any motions for the council to act
on. So if the democrats fall to obey
his command to nominate him , he'll
probably get sere , put on his hat and
e go home.
Norfolk has had three terms of Frl-
18
day-overy-day-In-the-week. And foi
some reason or other Friday likes the
n job of bossing the town so well that
he Insists on a fourth term. In faci
he says he'll have it.

when hi1 "cnt them out to preach. Every
one Is f.imlllar with the Hlblo niirraUvM
r - / > pectli\K these domnns some of them
very .itnrlllrur. For Instance , our J.ord'
visit to Ihe. country of the Oiidarene .
where lit WIIN met by a oraxed mnn.
obse.Mfed of evil spirits. The Master ad
dressed , not the man , hut the. dcmonn o *
whom a Irtrlon hud taken ponacAnlon
crazing their victim by Ihe.lr various a.n < l
contradictory KUKKesllon.M am ! command ;
A lnlon of them were In him nnd the :
ru | lfti > ( l that If they must oorno out thtv
bo Kcantrd opportunity to go Into Hit-
herd of .twin * nearby so ftnxlons were
they for earthly , sensuous life. Jeau *
granted their request , becaune > wln -
ownlng wan forbidden to the Jew under
Ihe Law. The effect of the de.monlncal
of the swine waa to craze tha
herd until they ran violently down a t p
. place and were choked In the ea. Th
object of the dc-mona may have been a de-
slre to reside In and obicsn the swine , or
possibly , by destroying the twine , to
arouse Indignation K lnst .lean * ( Mark
. v. 1-14) ) .
Another remarkable Instance wan the
one when Pt. Paul commanded the rl'
splrlta to come nut fit the obsenscd wo-
mun , who was a coothsayer or fortun-
tfiler and prophesied that Paul and HHu'
were Henanls of God. AlthoiiKh the me *
sage was nn endorsement of them , Bt
Paul realised that n endorsement from a
demoniac source wns unworthy of hi *
Macter and of his Gospel ( Acts xvl. JUS )
Spirits today , Including mediums , fre 1 >
acknowledge that many of the aplrlt *
which communicate through ( hem ar
"wicked Hplrlls" and "aeduclnir spirit" , "
just K SI. Pnul xald ( t Timothy 4 : 1) ) .
Hut bcllevluK the .splills , that they repre
sent dead human belngf , the medium *
naturally uppo."e t.ome of them good
Thn Hlble alone U'llw that they or * all
fal. o. and that they am not human iptr-
lln at ttll ; that dead men are dead and
know nothing and can communicate noth

they will remain dead until the resur

of humanity will hear the vole * of th
Son of Man.
Demon * Once Holy Angl *
At one time , raid Pastor Russell , all the
anvels were holy , Satan being first to de
flect. Early In man's experience as a
sinner the holy aneeln were permitted to
have fellowship with him for a two-fold
nurpote :
(1) ) To KV ! them the opportunity to do
all In their power to lift up the fallen
race , * o that , subsequently , It might be
seen that this WHS Impossible and that the
Plan devlptd by God IH not only the b Jt ,
but the only plan of iftlvatlon for man
kind.
(2) ) Addllloi.ally , God wished to prove or
tent the holy nngelH In respect to their
loyalty to him and the principles of ht *
government , as ( hey never had been test
ed previously , because cverythlnc wan
harmonious and sinless.
In ancient times the nngels appeared as
men , amimlng human bodies and cloth
ing , etc. Note , for Instance , those who
came to Abraham ut Mnmre nnd who ate
with htm. and talked with htm , but whom
he know not to be angels until the con
clusion of their visit ( Genesis avtll )
And there. rn many other Scriptural ac
counts of fclmllor Import. Do It noted ,
however , that nil Ihe accounts of aucl.
materializations after the flood were by
holy angels. becaiiKe. from that time on
ward , the unholy angvla , on account of
In , were deprived by the Almighty of the
powtr of materialization. Tiiey were put
under restraints of darknea * , Invisibility
Ae the Apoxtl * pay * , Those angeH which
kept not their first estate , He cast down
to tertorut and reserved < iem In chains of
darkness until the judgment of the great
day ( II Peter II , 4 ; Jude , C ) . Elsewhere
they are referred to ns having been dU-
obedlent In the days of Noah , while th
ark was preparing ( I Peter III , ft ) .
Th * Sin of th * Fallen Angela
Th * Apostle declares that their aln wa
In Itavlng their own habitation. Dy thU
wa * meant that they preferred to llv * In

ratb r than to live on the iplrlt plan *
