Americans are the greatest fruit
eaters In tHe world. The importation
of foreign fruits has grown phenom
enally in the last generation. A generation -
oration ago the banana was a rare
wiry. Last year 40.000.HOO bunches
ere brought Into this country. Dur-
Ig the same time only a few hundred
lousand bunches wore oaten in Eng-
and. The English take more kindly
o American apples , of which they eat
million barrels a year.

If China succeeds in collecting that

China has decided to reciprocate.
When the call to arms came lifty
rears ago , a large body of students

o Join the confederate army. It was

00 old men , the survivors of that stu

and received their long waited for
bachelor of arts degree.
Although Canada was won Iroin
he French by the English more than
a century and a half ago , the French
residents of a suburb of Montreal oh-
ected most strenuously to a recent at-
empt to place an English sign on the
lostolllce. They gathered in the vil-
age square and after a patriotic dem
onstration in which the songs of their
athers were enthusiastically sung
hey placed a sign in the French lan
guage upon the building. It takes a
eng time to make an Englishman out
of a Frenchman.
The incident of 2,000 voters being
ilisfranchised for live years for vote
selling in Ohio Is still fresh in the
public mind. Probably not many have
thought to ask who bought their votes
or what punishment was meted out to
the purchaser. But recent disclosures
supported by affidavits of the offend
ing voters seem to prove that Judge
Blair , who made this wholesale on
slaught to purify the ballot Is , him
self , the guilty party. If the offense
charged were not so serious , this
would add a spice of comedy to the
melodrama , with Blair in each case in
the leading role.
FARM LIFE CHANGED.
In ten years the automobile bus
revolutionized the world. It has ou
distances into fractions of their for
mer selves and created a new relntion
ship among country towns and be
tween the farm and the town.
"Booster" trade excursions , carry
ing the citizens of one town over a
great distance and permitting them to
become better acquainted with the !
neighboring communities , have come
to be quite a commonplace spectacle ii
this part of the west within the pas
few months , and their popularity i
increasing.
With the arrival of the automobile
and good roads , farm life isn't the
drudge that once it was.
SUMMER IN THE CHURCHES.
To the prevailing sight of closet
church doors during hot weather , with
the parsons mostly summering at coo
resorts , it is commonly remarked , am
with much force , that the devil neve
takes a vacation.
At the same time , when the young
sters are driven up to Sunday schoo
right through the summer at a periot
which the day schools recognize a
rest time , it takes a good many pic
nics and Christmas trees to wipe ou
inner resentment at conservative re
llglous high brows.
When the small boy remarked tha
"We have a very kind minister at ou
church , who preaches short sermon
on hot Sundays , " the old folks laugl
ed , but he had really hit on a profoun
truth.
PLAYING BALL ON STREET.
Playing "catch" on the street In Noi
folk has been permitted by the pollc
without Interference , but the time ha
come when a halt should be called.
serious accident Friday evening , who
a Hoskins man driving an automobll
was struck In the face and serious ]
wounded , ought to be enough of
warning to t'he authorities to put
stop to the nuisance.
The streets were made for vehicle
and not for a baseball field. The dan
ger of throwing a ball back and fort
on a principal business street , or an
other street , Is obvious. Friday's ac
cldent tells the story. v
And what happened Friday will hap
pen again , unless the nuisance is don
away with. The next time the bal
may strike and kill. No person wh
drives on the street Is Immune from
the danger and the next victim may b
you , or some member of your family ,
If street ball playing goes on.
HOW ABOUT A HOSPITAL ?
Do you think Norfolk doesn't need
a hospital ? Do you think the people
of this city arc doing their duty by
themselves , or by their families , or by
the tributary which looks to Norfolk
as Its metropolis , in not building a
hospital ? Is it fair to ourselves that
when members of our families are sicker
or injured , they must bo carted 120
miles tin n rough railroad Journey , be
fore they tan get modern , sanitary
care ?
Suppose It was your wife , or your
ttlo girl or little boy who was slid-
only stricken and needed hospital
are , If n battle were to be made for
Ife ? Wouldn't you think , then , that
Norfolk needed something of that
ort ? Don't you think we owe it to
nil-selves to get busy on this proposi-
Ion ? Is there a man in all Norfolk
vho wouldn't gladly go Into his pocket
nd give as liberally as he could , to
stabllsh such an Institution in this
ity ? Surely not.
As a rule the maintenance of hos-
) ltals In small cities is unprofitable ,
riit a proposition was made to the
Corfolk Commercial club some months
igo whereby , if the city will build n
; 10,000 hospital , its maintenance for
ever will bo taken care of by the Epis-
opal church of Nebraska.
The News hopes , and it believes the
icople of Norfolk hope , that the di
rectors of the Commercial club may
ee their way clear to take up the
natter of raising money for a hospital ,
vithout further delay.
Norfolk has needed a hospital for
nany years , and it needs It worse
every day. The cost is a small matter ,
vhen its importance to the community
s considered , and there's no time like
.he present for getting busy on the
proposition.
COLLEGE MEX IN BUSINESS.
The statistics of any of our college
graduating classes show a remarkable
hange as respects choice of business
nnd professions.
Take for instance , the Harvard class
of 1911. Here are the figures of stu-
lents choosing the so-called learned
professions : Law , 78 ; medicine , 2-1 ;
ministry , S ; teaching. 49 ; total. 159.
These are the total for business
Callings : Business , So ; engineering ,
4C ; banking , 22 ; manufacturing , 23 ;
chemistry , G ; total , 184.
That Is , the most famous American
miverslty , once almost exclusively a
training school for the scholastic pro
fessions , is turning out more business
than professional men today.
It is felt by many people that it is a
mistake , as a business proposition , for
a young man who is bent on a com
mercial career , to spend four years in
college. The recently published fig
ures of the Dartmouth college grad
uates of the year 1900 do not support
that Idea. The returns of that class
so far as available showed that they
are now averaging to earn ? 2C30 per
year.
And yet everyone of us counts in
his personal acquaintance college men
who are grinding away at adding up
columns of figures or tending ribbon
counters , work for which six months
in a commercial school would have
given adequate preparation.
What is the mysterious influence of
the classic shades of college , assum
ing due attention to work on the part
of the student , that has this power to
enlarge the scope of a man's life , even
from the coarse and fleshly viewpoint
of business success ?
It would indeed be hard to analyze.
Ono great element must be the per
sonality of the college faculty. The
boy comes from a secondary echool
where methods of teaching are too
often conventional and routine. He
finds the teachers repeating facts and
directing them how to do certain prob
lems , after rules found in books.
The typical college professor Is a
more original worker. He is apt to
proceed as if no book on the suhjecl
had ever been written , and as if pro
fessor and student were original ex
plorers in mi untried and undiscov
ered field.
This gives a student the habit of
thinking out things for himself , and
discovering and creating successes out
of situations where others see onlj
failure.
THE NEW FOURTH.
The movement for a more patriotic ;
expression of national sentiment on
July 4 gains force every year , and
awakens approval even from those
who are tolerant of the destructive
burly burly once universal.
At the same time , to make this civic
birthday look good to the small boy
there must bo something more thai
the solemn splurge of the Fourth of a
generation ago , accounts of which yen
can find In the files of our older news
papers.
Of course the fathers used to have
a Jolly time with wrestling matches
barbecues of fat animals , and other
exuberances. But when one reads the
typical July 4 speech of about the
year 1840 to 1850 , it Is clear that the
patriotism of today Is at least more
intelligent.
But how the eagle did scream at
those florid and rebundant functions
of our previous history !
According to the holiday oratory of
those celebrations , the entire polltica
wisdom and constructive statesman
ship of the world was centered under
the stars and stripes. We were n
bumptious I youth , and we used to pro
claim the truths of statecraft to a
waiting and awe struck world , much
as the college graduate of today tells
how the earth would cease this dis
tressing creaking on its axis If It
would but grease the bearings with
the wisdom of newly fledged alumni.
As the youth grows more modest
the farther away lie gets from his college -
lego degroo. so America takes Its place
In the sisterhood of nations with loss
aggressive self assertion. We believe
we have the best government In the
world , but we do not feel that it Is
always good manners to be proclaim
ing that fact In the ears of our neigh
bors.
bors.The
The new Fourth and its oratory will
look more to the future than to the
past. If It tells of the deathless deeds
of the patriots of old , It will be from
no fooling of self satisfaction but
merely to show the youth of today the
standard that Is bet for their far up
hill climb.
Thp new Fourth will always be a
lay for young heart * . What If the
iroworks do look a little palo to the
ilaso eyes of ago. If they stir the
'Ahs" and "Ohs" from the children ,
hey make good. And first and fore-
nest in the new Fourth must always
ie manly athletics , for the llrst stop
n patriotism Is to place n sound nor
mil body at tbo service of your coun
try.
AROUND TOWN.
You can't expect anything In this
column today.
Please pass the bromo-selzer.
The Rosebud got an inch of rain
Wednesday night , as well as the north
edge of Xebraska. Apparently not out
of the rain belt Just yet.
Does your face get muddy these
lays ?
We haven't the heart to ask you if
t's hot enough for you.
What chance has the primary law
among democrats of the Ninth Judicial
ilistrict , anyhow ?
If Gov. Aldrich's Information about
Ohio opposing Taft is no more au
thentic than bis wildcat dream about
Nebraska going for the pompadour kid
of Wisconsin , it needn't worry the
president a great deal.
The nldfashioncd raspberry pie , with
juice around the edges , has been
round , in all its deliclousness , in a
liouse on Nebraska avenue and Elev
enth street.
A tea party might be all right these
days , if it was iced tea.
But a swimming party would suit
us better. Are you on ? You know
what the last guy in , is. Now beat it.
There's always some place where
It's hotter. Won't mention any names.
How can a man sleep eight hours a
day , work eight hours a day. spend
three hours a day at meals , play golf
two hours a day , run an automobile
the rest of the twenty-four and stil1
have time to mow the lawn and water
the trees and spade up around the
woodbine and trim the hedge ?
This is a good time of year to culti
vate the neighbors' chickens. A little
later they'll be about right to decapi
tate.
A Norfolk farmer , who has a colored
farmhand , said to the man : "I'm go
ing to pay you on a sliding scale this
year. If the crops are good , I'll pay
you well ; if they're poor , the wages
will be lower. "
"I've worked that way before , " the
colored man said. "Once I worked
that way for a fellow and at the end
of the season I owed him money. "
There may be ways of ridding Nor
folk of criminals and thugs who have
been camping around this town for the
past three weeks. But a police force
70 years old is not the way.
Where are you going to celebrate ?
If you get a powder burn , or if the
children do , have a doctor dress it at
once. That's cheaper than the lock
jaw.
There are too many unswatted flies
roaming around.
And too many uncut weeds.
And too big a town without a hos-
prtal.
Cast your lamps on that cluster light
yet ? How'd Norfolk avenue look , with
a string of 'em running along each
side ? Fremont's got 'em.
What's become of the old fashioned
ante-Fourth noise. Time was when
you didn't dare drive your horse
around town for a week in advance of
the Fourth , lest it be scared to death ,
and the list of Fourth of July acci
dents began long before the arrival of
the celebrated day. What's become of
the Insane Fourth , anyhow ?
Only three more sleeps , and not
much of that.
With a big land rush coming , it
would be a great little time to build n
new hotel In Norfolk.
Tomorrow there'll bo no News. The
Fourth of July is one day in the year
when we absolutely refuse to work a
goldarn bit.
A humorist at Erie. Pa. , sending out
a dispatch about a train robbery , says
It was done in true "wild west" fash
ion. We appreciate the courtesy of
the headline writer on The News who
changed it to read "wild cast. " That's
more like it.
With a hundred thousand people to
pass through this city during the com
ing hind rush , It behooves Norfolk to
get busy and light her streets with
( luster lights from beginning to end.
XOW'H the time.
If you value your health , or your
llfo , don't drink Ice water or anything
else with Ice In It , this hot weather.
It's a very Injurious thing to do.
"American Illes 93 miles In 71 min
utes ; " "Italian tiles lit ! miles In an
hour In an automobile ; " "Atwood flies
Into Xew York City. " Where the
deuce do all the Illes come from , any
way ? We keep swatting and swatting ,
; ul still the air Is full of 'em.
I'Set the alarm clock for 4 a. in.
And don't hold the llrecrackor In
your hand after it's lighted.
And If you do get a powder burn ,
get a doctor to dress the wound , bo It
ever so humble.

This story of Jononh opeixs up bright
and tremulous with llfo an n Jmu >
morning. Seventeen-year-old Bhopbcnl
boy , light hearted and strong , IH strid
ing over tliu fields of Hhochom to llnil
a brothers and tht'lr nooks ITo stop
one by tliu wny to unit if ho has m-en
thorn. The stranger tolls htm thoy'ro
nt Dotlinn , thirty mllon nway. Iltv
starts off n tnln with nil the buoyancy
of youth , hh young frnnlc eyes tlllctl
with wondrr as ho remombiTH bin
gtrango drcamn by night God has told
him lie is to occupy largo nparo HOIIW
day if ho Is faithful in Niiuiller ono.
Then the chapter climes like tbo storm-
lest and blackoHt day In Divombi'r
when tliu old year is dying. All In dark ,
nnd black as HII ! nnd guilt and jcnl
ousy can ntnko It Joseph noJd Into
slavery , Jacob mourning him an dead ,
the brothers carrying a load of guilt
Uiat only the yearn of God's provldeiieo
can clear away. In that day , In Pha
raoh's pnlaco. with Joseph as prlmo
minister , the triumph of tbo dreamer
la complete.
Substance and Shadow
In nothing Is the practical man BO
likely to err HH in underestimating tbo
vnlua of tbo man of thought. Ho
doesn't read history aright. Sonio man
of thought , some pioneer of Imagina
tion , Homo < 1 rim mer , 1ms been back of
every worthy work the world has over
known. Bainuol Adams did as much
with his pen as George Washington
with his flword for the colonies. Our
national clangor today is American
Ideals becoming materialistic. Wc'ro
placing our trust In horses nnd chari
ots rather than in men. I stood not
long ago on dock of Hteamer watching
the launching of tbo mightiest onglno
of destruction the world has ever soon ,
turret rising upon turret , batter- upon
battery. No wonder bands played ,
flags waved and crowds cheered. The
evening papers called attention to thin
floating citadel as n symbol of the pow
er of our great republic. Yet the event
was neither so InteroHtlng nor so suggestive -
gestivo of tbo real glory and hope of
our nation as the simple commoiu'o-
ment exercises which will take place-
In hundreds of towns throughout our
land during the month of Juno. Young
men and women representing the best
and highest typo of tbo American people
ple will graduate from our high schools ,
colleges and universities. These rep
resent the real strength of our nation
more than armies or navies.
Looking at or Through.
"Where there is no vision the people
perish , " says Holy Writ. Then is tolii
the story of Abraham forsaking his
Idols going out , "not knowing whith
er ; " Jacob nt Bethel , with tbo angels
descending and ascending the heaven
ly ladder ; child Samuel on his couch in
twilight of temple ; Solomon nt Glboon
hearing God soy , "Ask what I shall
give tbee. " Tell me your dreams , I'll
tell you the history of your llfo.
Dreams are shadows of things hoped ,
for , the substance of things not seen.
Every concrete thing in the world IB n
dream made true , whether Indian wo
man weaving a basket in Oklahoma or
engineer pushing a tube under Hud
son river. Phidias dreamed and the *
marble spoke ; Joan of Arc dreamed
nnd French armies fought ; Field
dreamed and tied two continents to
gether ; Bell dreamed and the tele-phono
spoke ; Edison dreamed and the phonograph
graph sung ; the Wrights dreamed and
airships sail the skies. The world's
dreamers are the world's doers , for it
must needs be the dream come true.
The difference between dreamer and
visionary is as much as between child
like and childish. Much depends OR
the looking. Ono can look at a windowpane -
dowpano or beyond it , upon n tele
scope or through it
The Triumph of the Dr am r.
When Lorenz , great Austrian sur
geon , was a ragged , barefoot lad , he
found ono day n glove , the glove of a
gentleman. Mother wild sadly , "It will
bo long before you can earn the other ,
my boy. " Ever read the story of win
ning the other glove ? It's Uirllling.
Years of struggle , poverty , defeat A.
terrible ecnyna breaks out on him nnd
closes the coveted door. Twenty years
later , in our day , the prayers nnd
blessings of Europe nnd America are
his he has found the other glove.
Thursday noon , Dec. 12 , 1001 , a great
Inventor awaits the decisive moment
of his life. Signal Hill , Newfoundland ;
a bluff , raw day ; 300 feet below him
thunders the cold sea stretching out
2,000 miles to the coast of the British
isles. No sound. A kite gyrates wild
ly above. Then throe sharp clicks. Ten
minutes Inter more agreed signals.
Dramatic moment the dreamer has
won Marconi's wireless is assured.
Surely the Southern Cross never
crowned more sublime scene than at
4 o'clock on the morning of Oct 112.
1402 , when Rodorlgo do Frinna from
masthead of Columbus' flagship shouts ,
"Land , land ! " The news Is flashed
from Plnta to Nina to Santa Maria ,
nnd San Salvador is written on tbo
world's map for first time. The mys
tery of the sea is revealed the dream
er's dream Is now history.
What's the dream of that young car
penter ? Ruler of synagogue ? Rabbi ?
High priest ? Foolish boyl He has no
teacher , no great friends , no money ,
Still he dreams a dream of world
conquest Huh ! He hasn't even a
word. They crucify htm between
thlerea. The dreamer has triumphed
by wny of the CTOM.
