There Is no reason on earth wli
congress should not do 'tho buslnef

senators and the Lorlmcr case , ai
the Important matters remaining. A

over again and might just as well t

other.
Governor Osborno of Mlchlgti
doesn't believe moral suasion Is su
flclent for prison discipline , but bold

The governor must be somewhat of
back number as a disciplinarian ,
was long ago decided by actual trl
that work was the host substitute po
slble for physical punishment. Woi
makes prison life endurable for bol
prisoners and guards. The old syste
makes It a positive hell for both.

In seizing or attempting to hold n

whose sons desire offices , civil ar
military. For those sons offices mu
bo found , must bo created out of co

the supply.
The Colorado state penitentiary hi
tried very thoroughly the plan of or
ploying convicts on work outside tl
prison. For the past four years aboi
1,500 men have been employed c
ranches and garden tracts leased I
the prison , In constructing a wat <
system for Canon City and on publ
highways. They have built 100 mil <
of splendid mountain road , half of
blasted through solid rock and tl
value of the farm products raise
more than paid back to the state tl
expense of their maintenance. It
most beneficial to the men both phyt
cally and morally.
The putting Into effect of the rec
procity plan depends on the action <
the Canadian parliament as much i
It does on congress. For that reasc
there is less opportunity for changir
its terms than there would be if i
acceptance depended on congrei
alone. The Canadians give the Unl
ed States certain advantages , and 1
return demand certain other conce
faions from this country. Any serioi
revision of the terms of the agreemei
may mean its complete failure befoi
the Canadian parliament. The thir
for congress to do Is to go ahead ar
ratify it and so earn the applause i
the bigger part of the American po
pie.
All who know of the unjust Imprl
onment In Siberia of two Russiai
who had been In America sever
years and had returned to Russia fi
their wives and children , will rejoli
to learn that after suffering the he
rors of a Russian prison two year
they have at last been released , t
through American Interference. /
though they hod been in this counti
two years before the Russian ai
Japanese war and did not return u
til after It was ended , they were seize
as deserters from military duty Ju
as they were ready to return to Ame
lea with their families and sent
Siberia. Such experiences are all ti
common In the czar's domain who
justice and mercy are unknown v :
tues.
HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS.
The celebration of Washingtot
biithday as usual provoked a goi
deal of comment on the decline of o
holidays. In so far as it was observi
by stopping business , there were
hundred people who played games
went to the theater or other entertal
mcnts , to every one who attended j
triotlc services.
But under the tense strain of me
erh life , our holidays are not likely
be very serious affairs for years
come. About all that you can ask
that people shall not try' to cram
week of pleasure seeking into a sins
day.
Patriotism and the true meaning
our holidays will have to bo tnug
mostly in the schools. It Is a prct
slow and sluggish teacher who do
not stop the routine drone of aril
metlc and spelling lu advance of a h
iday , to tell the children the. wendi
ful human Interest story that lies
the background of each of them.
"The curious fact was called to r
attention the other day , " writes \V
Ham E. CurtUs from Berlin , "thatV
helm II has never been crowned olthc
as king of Primula or as emperor c
Germany , although ho ban relgnu
since the death of his father , Juno 1
188S. He has fifty-four titles of in
blllty and almost ns many mllltat
commissions In his own and lu tti
other armies of Europe ; ho Is alwa )
talking about the ellvlno right of king
but ho has never been formally Inau
united ; no crowd has ever been place
upon his head , no wcoptrc has eve
boon placed In his hand , and he has n
title to sovereignty except that whk
comes from the peaceful possesslt
and the exorcise of authority. No or
Is able to explain this singular ami
slon , but it is not without precedon
for twelve other Gorman soverolgt
have ruled without being formal
crowned , and several of the relgnlr
kings of Europe have not submlttc
to the ceremony , Including Vlct <
Emanuel of Italy , GusUiv of Swede
Frederick of Denmark and Albert i
Belgium. "
HATS OFF TO NORTH NINTH.
All Norfolk will take Its hat oft i
the property owners of North Nlnl
street , whoso progresslvoness and e
terprlsc are to make their paving p
tltion the first ono to be presented i
the city council from n residence dl
trlct of the city.
In return for their good cltlzenshl
the people of that street are going i
have ono of the most attractive the
oughfares In town and they cr
never be robbed of the distinction <
being the first residence street in tow
to take on this big Improvement.
Llko the sewer system , the pavh
promises to spread with great rapldlt
now that It has once been started.
Is no longer a matter of urging peep
to pave it is now just a question :
to which paving districts will get the
petitions before the city council fir
and thus bo assured of the Improv
ment that they desire.
There has been expressed the hoi
that the paving up Norfolk aveni
might continue on west , this being
continuation of the main business a
tery of the town , and It is posslbl
now that the people of North Nlnl
street have assured the paving of tl
avenue west from Seventh to Nlnt
that property owners on up the stre
may take the matter in their hane
and get the job done this summer.
Apparently the main thing neede
for such a petition Is a leader to sta
the ball rolling.
IRELAND'S APPEAL.
The coming two or three weel
promises a historic debate in th
English parliament over Irish lion
rule , Premier Asquith having prot
Ised that the liberal government wl
favor complete self government.
The method under which Irelar
has been governed during the pai
century , Is somewhat as if congrei
attempted to handle local governmei
for such outlying communities as Flo
Ida , Texas or California. The splr
of American fair play In the rest i
the country would not tolerate sue
absentee control. Ireland had a pa
llament. usually co-equal with that !
London , for the 500 years en'din
about a century ago. The oxpediei
of governing the country from Londc
Is thus a comparatively recent inn
vation. Ireland merely asks the loci
homo rule given twenty-eight othi
dependencies , and does not questlc
the authority of the English parli
ment.
Its plea Is simply the old "taxatle
without representation" principle , f (
which our fathers quit their home
for patriotic martyrdom. It costs bi
$13,000,000 for the civil government i
Scotland , while in Ireland , a counti
that is poorer and about the some I
population , the cost is $22,000,000.
Industries have steadily decline
under alien rule. There were 193,81
textile workers in 1871 , and but 10 !
588 under recent figures.
John Bull has his choice. Shall h
Irish subjects bo happy , contente
and industriously prosperous , loyal
supporting him , or shall they bo kei
in a state of perpetual shlllaleh swin
n r i v having Irish affairs settled 1
Englishmen ?
Better make a friend of your neig
bor , Mr. Bull. Wo have got pret
well acquainted with him over her
and ho Is very useful in our busincE
with his warm heart , his kind
humor , his buoyant energy and men
spirits. Ho will bo a mighty go <
follower If you will but make hi
feel that he is one of the family 1
stead of an unwilling captive.
AROUND TOWN.
How are your railroad securities ?
The story from Bassett about th
wolf hunt doesn't say anything abe
that rohjn being scared up.
There's a woman in Norfolk who
so contrary that , now that the trous
skirt has been given a black eye
Paris , she'll probably wear one.
What's your honest opinion abe
the trouser skirt , anyway ?
There are a lot of ways we think
woman looks more attractive than s !
would In them.
But what right has any man to ta
of the science of women's clothes ?
In fact , what does man know of w
man , anyhow ?
For instance , here's a question I
Ing debated in Norfolk a questl
that man can't figure out : Should ,
woman pick her teeth with n hairpin
Personally , wo hesitate to answei
for fear of getting Involved In a dli
puto with the whole of fomlnlnlt )
though wo have our views on th
matter.
One Norfolk woman always carrie
a baseball bat with her when she goo
out after dark. Slu > thinks It's mor

Hut speaking of women and w
shudder to think of the way wo'
probably get our feet In It when th
time comes the north Nobrask
school teachers will soon be comlii
back to Norfolk.
( They'll all bo a year older tha

But we can stand for a little addc
age , since their coming will mean the

that.
But back to the woman question-
have you seen those "Girls" poster
advertising next Tuesday night
show ?
Some "Girls" there , all right , a
right , all right.
Notice the lamb ?
It Is only fair to George W. Lose :
former sheriff of Madison county , bu
now a icBident of Fremont , to so
that the "George W. Losey" 'indlcte
at Lincoln for embezzlement from
lodge , is an entirely different perso
and no relation to the former Madiso
county official. The Lincoln Lose
has been a resident of the state cap
tal for many years.
If the legislature doesn't hurry I

Hero come the bill collectors agal

ago that we paid 'em all off. ( At leasl
that'll do to tell. )
There's this satisfaction in ii
though it's pretty nearly the last ai
pearance of the coal man's collector.
But that isn't as joyous as It ma
seem. On his heels will come th
ice man , so what's the use ?
Should one say "them" or "it" 1
speaking of the trousers skirt ?
Now they're going to send to th
penitentiary a man at Butte becaus
he admits he has two wives. Hasiv
the poor cuss gone through euougl
without sending him to prison
Where's the justice in our courts , anj
way ?
About time to begin thinking of
new straw hat and a pair of oxfordf
And grass seed.
And garden.
By the way , which woyld you rathe
do take care of a furnace or mow
lawn ? Or , to put It more proper ! }
which do you dread the more ? ( Ge
that dread the mower ? )
Personally , the furnace game i
more repulsive , because you can't ge
out of it.
A Norfolk man complains of hi
neighbor's chickens. If he'd get
slingshot or an air rifle and learn t
use it , he might find the trespassln
fowl not eo bad , after all. In fac
we're quite convinced that chicken
are all right , IN THEIR PLACE. ( Pu
on the loud pedal when you come t
the last three words. )
And speaking of the damage chlcl
ens do , did you ever notice that I
there's a flower bush In the yard , n
matter where , the man who drive
the coal wagon up to your cellar wh
dow , will be sure to strike It ?
Why not pass an ordinance agnine
coal wagons , too ?
It would be enforced about as muc
as the ctilcken ordinance is. . ,

that such a revival would cloanno tha

Bishop Candler also noticed tba

"Wo cannot got a revival of rellglos

It la useless for any to attempt to

that God Is great , and just , and loving ,
while nt the Htuno tlmo teaching that

forefathers could bellovo this and yet
bcllovo somehow or other that God is
Love wo do not understand. It was
their faith In God's love , and not their
faith in eternal torment , which con
stituted the power of God working In
them for good , and which offset the er
rors of their creeela to a considerable
legree.
What the world needs , and what
Urst of all the Church needs , la to gut

Almighty's character , and In respewt

Church and World StandcHc.
During the "Dark Agei , " th fact
hat the Church Is a specially called ,
ihosen , faithful class and only "a little
lock" was seen and preached to som
sxtent But this lofty CAurc * BtandwA
wtM difficult of application to the
world , and the world's hope under
i different ttandard was not seen. It

tended by God to bo the world's In-
itructors and helpers by and by , when

Etestltutlon of all that was lost by
Adam's transgression and redeemed by
he great Sacrifice of Calvary.
After learning that the boll to which
the world goes In death Is the grave ,
ind that It Is an unconscious condi
tion , a "sleep , " the next lesson Is the
resurrection of the dead : "Many that
deep in the dust of the earth shall
iwake , some to shame and last
ing contempt" ( Daniel ill , 2) ) . Man
kind fall asleep with experience only
prlth unrighteousness and very Indis
tinct glimpses of holinesa and saint-
ihlp. When awakened they will rec-

ty of the saintly Brldo of Christ and
w recipients of her loving care and
jleaslng in proportion as they respond
to the blessed privileges of that time ,
la the Restitution work will progreoH ,
ind they obediently rise from their
legradatlon , their shame and contempt
irlll gradually disappear and eventual-
7 perfection of human nature may be
ittalned In an earth also attaining por-
lection , as the Garden of the Lord.
