President Tuft'H threatened spank- lug seems to have done Cuba good. The I'hllutlelphlii Ledger maintains that President Taft Is the party's best asset American-made automobiles are finding an Incramlng market In all parts ot Europe. Senator Ixirlmer says ho was forced Into the United States senate. Ho may bo forced out. Some of the democrats arc trying to find a dark horao that will be gentle and easy to handle. The benefactions of American cit- IZOUB for the year 1911 amounted to more than $260,000,000. As long as the Installment plan of buying things continue slavery will never be done away with. If things keep on this way , wo shall feel like taking the butter down to the safe deposit vault nights. Senator LaFollette Is spoken of by some of his enthusiastic adherents as "a promoter of political ozone. " The St. Louis Globe-Democrat thinks that if the republicans cannot win with Taft they cannot win without him. In view of the protest from our gov ernment , the Cuban congress may not pass a law giving every Cuban an of fice. Many people would receive larger dividends if they knew IOBS of other people's business and more about their own. Wilson called Watterson a "nice old gentleman. " This would make most people madder than calling them a thief. It is one thing for a nation to be large and quite another for it to be really great. Russia Is an example of this truth. United States Senator Warren owns a great many thousand sheep. He has been called "the greatest shepherd since Abraham. " The socialists are strong in Cologne , Germany , and also In the Chicago stock yards district. They are at least getting a smell. If our manual training schools would only add instruction in broom making how useful it would be when the boys get into jail. The meat packers have had to open a padlocked book , but does the govern ment know the combination that will unlock their mouths ? The $1,000 cow has come to stay , it is said , and the college graduate who con earn but $2 a day must feel a sense of failure when he looks at her. Col. Harvey has put on the eoft pedal at Wilson's request , but prob ably the governor would bo willing to lot him do a few five finger exercises. J. P. Morgan paid $29,000 for a Bi ble , but almost any Sunday school would give him one for nothing if he will attend every Sunday for a year. The subsidiary oil companies and the independents have put up the price of oil , too. It is still possible to meet and talk over prices after dark. Henry Lahouchere made a fortune of J4.000.000 by publishing "Truth , " but if he printed truth , he must have needed a good corps of lighting edi tors. As Dr. Wiley is sustained by the congressional committee , it would seem imprudent to put out any more mince meat consisting of cotton wool d in brandy. Canada proposes to take over by the government all the telegraph and tele phone lines. The prospect is that it will bo done without one's making much fuss about it. Now there Is a movement afoot to divide Now York and to make a sep arate state of New York City , giving it the name of Manhattan. It is being seriously considered. President Taft surely cannot be charged with wanting to control pat ronage when he sends a message to congress advising that body to take away most of that which he has. The National Piano Dealers' asso ciation is to burn 300 square pianos at their coming convention , but we be- Hove jou can keep tin * neighbors awaku equally as well wtlh an upright. As the- Washington ladles may got their ball gowns snowed on If they keep on Inaugurating presidents In March , the public business should be set aside , and ( ho date put off to April. The war department has granted permission for an army ball team to go to Japan to play Toklo university. In time , no doubt all International dif ferences will bo settled in this man ner. It is doubtful if Cuba will ever get a stable government until its climate is reformed. There will always be revolutions In a country where you can always sleep out in the woods nights. Wall street note : It having been re ported that Woodrow Wilson was seen wearing a red necktie , profound de pression pervaded the street , and the bottom seemed to have dropped out of the market. Under President Taft's administra tion there Is a surplus at the end of the third year of his administration in the postofllco department for the first time in nearly thirty years. Credit to whom credit is due. The bath tub trust IB ordered to ap pear In court. The trusts must liavo that homey feeling when they get into court now , and no doubt put up their feet on the mantelpiece as if it was their own living room. A Yukon miner shocked New York by hanging a red flannel shirt out of a hotel window , but if ho had sold a million of fake mining stock , no at tention would have been paid to any thing so commonplace. If the Duke of Connaught had mere ly discovered the cure for some dis ease thus saving thousands of people , or had made some great invention re' ducing the cost of living , the curiosity seekers would never have blocked the sidewalk. The Plttsburg housewives are boy cotting butter for thirty days , but the makers of railroad sandwiches have boycotted butter for many years , and it did not make the cows feel any bet ter natured. George Bernard Shaw says all de cent people are arrested in America. George would not be so bitter If he realized how many worthy persons are thus given a winter's board who could not get it any other way. Andrew Carnegie is going to get $28.70 for testifying before the con gressional committee , and in view of this liberal compensation it would seem as if Andy could have afforded to give them a little more real Infer mation. Now that the high cost of living is the one subject uppermost in the pub lic mind it Is well to remember that William Jennings Bryan in the cam paign of 189C declared , as one of his favorite arguments , that what this country needed was an era of rising prices. We've got 'em. Gov. Harmon is telling what he would do were ho made president in enforcing the trust law. This same man was attorney general of the Unit ed States at ono time ana the Sher man law was then in force. What the people will want to know first Is "What did you do about it then ? " South America presents the great est trade possibilities In the world. This is recognized by other nations. Great Britain has invested three bil lion dollars in South America and Ger many more than a billion. Thus far , etrange as it may seem , Uncle Sam is the laggard in the race. It is high time that ho got into the game. THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. A final effort is being made to raise enough money to finish the beautiful Y. M. C. A. building that has been be gun in Norfolk. And it is to be hoped that the effort may meet with success. Norfolk needs nothing more than it I needs a wholesome place where the i boys and young men of the city may spend their Idle hours pleasantly. A Y. M. C. A. affords such a place , and more. It offers gymnasium equip ment which would mean a very great deal not only to the boys but to busi ness men as well. At present there Is no place provided for winter exer cise among the business men of the city , and such an establishment would prove of genuine value , In dollars and cents and in longer lives , to the com- munlty. It is said that if those who contrib uted in small amounts two years ago , would repeat their contributions now , the building could be finished. As it stands now , the building represents some $25,000 and is doing no good. Another lift of $10,000 would make it available for use and would get ac tion on the Investment already made , OPENS TAFT CAMPAIGN. Nebraska should feel honored by the fact that the distinction of openIng - Ing the campaign for a renomlnation for President Taft , should fall to a Nebraskan. United States Senator Norris Brown , at Indianapolis , dellv- ered what is regarded aa the keynote of the Taft campaign , and In his ad- drcHH he reflected credit upon himself and upon his state Ills npeoch was a concise , clear cut statement of the big achievements of the Taft adminis tration and can hardly fall to cause the people of this country to pause and reflect over the remarkable achievements of a very large caliber that must be accredited to the presi dent. The corporation tar , giving the government power to look over the books of gigantic corporations , the law giving the Interstate commerce commission power to prevent an In crease In railroad rates and the en forcement of the anti-trust law , which had lain Idle for twenty years , were featured by Senator Brown In his re view of President Taft's three years' administration. Ho paid a compliment to Col. Roosevelt velt and said that he had no faith in the theory that the former president would bo a candidate for another term. "Every man who doubts that statement now impeaches his integ rity , " said the senator , referring to the often-reiterated declaration made by Col. Roosevelt during his last ad ministration , that be would not ac cept another term. "I have honored and trusted him too many years to Insult him now with the thought that ho says one thing and means anoth er. " The senator blamed the press of the country for trying to create senti ment against the president. And this campaign against Taft , particularly In the magazine , unquestionably has been responsible for many Americans falling to completely understand a great president and a man whose sin cere interest in the welfare of the people plo at large , can not be Impeached , even by his enemies. OLD TIME RADICALISM. Many of our conservative people feel now-a-days that the foundations of the world arc being shaken , by such laws as the inheritance tax and others af fecting property rights. They regret the passage of good old days when our statesmen all stood without hitching. There is interest , therefore , In the article "Convictions of a Grandfather , " in the February Scribner , by Judge Robert Grant , to learn that Inherit ance taxes were used as far back as the times of Emperor Augustus A. D. C , and that the Romans borrowed the idea from the Egyptians , who prac ticed it still earlier. This idea running so far back into history is getting a strong foothold on our systems of taxation. Many honest property holders feel that no other system of taxation works with such absolute justice. The tax on the liv ing man's stocks and bonds will al ways bo dodged. The honest man would rather pay a heavy impost on such property when he inherits it , than pay a fair tax by driblets while his neighbors are lying out of their burdens. BUYING SUBSTANTIAL GOODS. One of the principal differences be tween retail business in such a town as Norfolk , and the business of the great metropolitan department store , is the substantial character of the stock which the home merchant keeps. The merchant who depends on the patronage of his townspeople must keep his customers satisfied or lose his trade. He rarely puts an article in his stock unless It will stand the strain of wear. The great metropolitan store , on the contrary , uses an enormous amount of second grade goods. They have to offer an appearance of unus ual bargain in order to get people to buy by mail order , or under the in conveniences of a great department store. The margin is not greater than their tremendous expense for rentals , catalogues , and high salaries. Consequently quently they give orders for a select ed class of second grade goods , which can bo finished to please the eye , but have serious defects ! The tendency to consider price at the expense of quality has built up the great mail order houses , but the vogue that it has given to shoddy goods is ono of the causes of high cost of living. Better buy near home , where the merchant will tell you just what an article is. WILL THEY NAME BRYAN. Will the democrats nominate Bryan again ? Stranger things have hap pened. Woodrow Wilson , who a few months ago seemed to be the strongest candi date in the democratic camp , has vir tually been put on the shelf by his record with regard to petitioning for a Carnoglo pension and by the Harvey- Watterson incident , in which it was shown that Wilson was an ingrate to the man who launched his boom and that ho had authorized Watterson , ac cording to the latter's statement , to sollclty funds from certain high finan ciers. Certain It Is that considerable money has been spent by Wilson boomers , patent insides of hundreds of country newspapers containing half page "booms" which unquestionably wore bought at so much per Inch. All In all , Wilson stock has gone down. Then there's trouble for Harmon in his own state and In the general im pression that he has been allied wtlh the moneyed Interests. Folk and Clark are fighting each other In Missouri , weakening the chances of both. At that , though , nclther's chances were very strong at any time , Clark having weakened himself - self when he got between Bryan and Underwood on the wool schedule. j Underwood of Alabama Is another man whom Bryan has attacked and I his position as speaker of the house may or may not help ' " . In case there ] hhotild be an opening for him. Itj might make him and it might break him. him.But But despite all his defeats , and de spite what have been termed by cer tain democrats as his distatorshlp , William Jennings Bryan still stands out pre-eminently as the livest possi bility In the democratic field. Every candidate for the nomination fears him. None of them has the hold upon the masses of democrats that he still possesses. And with one of his old fashioned ringing orations in the Bal timore convention , there need be no surprise if the democrats stampede for W. J. B. ROOSEVELT IN THE RACE. The question as to whether or not Roosevelt would accept another presi dential nomination if It were offered to him. has been answeied at last by a letter which , while it is not signed by the colonel , comes from the Out look offices and was written at the suggestion of the colonel himself , fol lowing an interview between him and Ex-Gov. Stokes of New Jersey. Roosevelt velt will run , as this paper declared a week ago he would , if the nomination comes to him. He will not refuse. The letter , written by Lawrence Ab bott , ono of the editors of the Outlook , says that Col. Roosevelt would no more decline the nomination if there were popular demand that he make the race , than he would decline to en list in the service of his country in case of war. Mr. Stokes held an interview with Col. Roosevelt at the Outlook offices a week ago and suggested to him that he either write or have written a let ter setting forth his attitude as to the nomination. This letter to Mr. Stokes from a fellow editor of the colonel's , is the result. It may therefore be ac cepted as word direct from Roosevelt himself. The authoritative or semi-authorita tive announcement from the colonel that he would accept , will be no sur prise to students of politics. It has been apparent for some days that Roosevelt had no intention of decile Ing to make the race if the tion should come to him. The letter clears the atmosphere of the uncertainty that had been noted in the political arena. It squarely puts Roosevelt out as .a candidate against President Taft for the Chicago nomi nation in June. It may be expected that Senator LaFollette will either drop out of the race voluntarily , or be dropped by circumstances , as a result of this Roosevelt letter. This letter , too , will mark the be ginning of a sharp fight between Taft's friends and Roosevelt's sup porters for delegates. It promises a battle royal in the Chicago convention , without any ceitain forecast as to the outcome , possible at this time , but with President Taft still the logical candidate. THE GULLIBLE PUBLIC. Safe breaking and second story burglary are getting to be an obso lete method of crime. They bear the same relation to twentieth century swindling that old fashioned hand work does to modern labor saving ma chinery. The report just presented by R. S. Sharp , chief postofllce inspector , says that the gullible American public gave up $77,000,000 last year to get rich quick men. The ease with which these gentle men work the great American sucker is simply astounding. A Canaan of financial milk and honey lies before the man who possesses nerve , imagin ation , and a $5 bill. One favorite method of making a million on $5 is to organize a com pany to promote a summer resort or suburban colony near some large city. You get an option on some abandoned farm. No cash need bo paid , the lib eral allotment in the stock of the dream company is enough. You get some Impecunious draftsman to draw plans of a hotel and cottages. A few shares of stock requites him. The first expenditure of cash other than a few postage stamps , comes when you walk up to a newpaper of fice and insert an advertisement in "Business Opportunities. " This may cost you the sum of $1. You adver tise for some gentleman with $10,000 to Join you in a conservative enter prise paying five hundred per cent. From the many replies you will get enough cash to take a suite of rooms in the best hotel in the city , establish a fat bank deposit , acquire financial testimonials , and incorporate your company. Fifty per cent of the sale of shares goes to advertising , and fifty per cent you can salt away in some bank in Buenos Ayres or Mel bourne. The postofilco even more than the newspapers is the means by which this modern safe breaking is per- formed. Mailing lists , technically Known as "sucker lists" consisting of names of people who hnvo money but no financial judgment , have been valued at $100,000 by these people. Sonic of them send out 2fiO letters each to as many as 10,000 persons. The moral of all this for the farm er , the mechanic , the widow with the llfo Insurance policy , Is Don't buy any kind of stock or bonds unless your home banker says it is all right. AROUND TOWN. Biyiin bus been elected president at last president of the Wlnona Assem bly and Bible conference. All things come , etc. We had just about decided to change 'em when the weather man came along with that cold wave bulle tin. That just showB what a contrary cuss ho is. PerhapB Michigan can't bo blamed for dropping Nebraska from her foot ball schedule for next year. Ann Ar bor was so badly outplayed at Lincoln , that they might naturally not run risk of defeat next year. Just a bit cow ardly , though , don't you think ? We see Abe Martin's back. Morn in' , Abe. It's about time to begin worrying over spring Hoods. Also time , with this cold wave on the wing , to order more coal. Back to your nests , little robins. It was all a false alarm. "Wo'vo been treated rojally , " said the Duke of Connaught , in leaving. How else could a duke be treated ? Why is it that a man always smokes too much on Sunday and feels logey .Monday morning as a result ? Our cold this year is starling in several oral months ahead of the one a year ago. ago."A "A handkerchief ! A handkerchief ! My automobile for a handkerchief ! " A Norfolk woman who never did be lieve in 'em any way , and who put 'em on just because her husband made her , has changed' em without his find ing it out , and to that change accredits the fact that she is not suffering fiom a cold. How long does it take you , after you maku up your mind you need a hair cut , to go and have the job done ? Same way here. If wo were Billy Beck we wouldn't ever want to see a railroad train again. The Y. M. C. A. are they going to put it over ? The town needs it badly enough , that's a cinch. When we at last become ically and genuinely bald and the bald spot's getting balder and balder every mln ute wo don't know whether we'll shave our few remaining hairs close to the head , like Mart Kane used to , or let the fringe surounding the bald spot grow out long , like Jim Nichols. Hello , hero's another Hist of the month up to bat. We're for anybody for president who can cut down our January coal bills. We've served notice enouhg on coal men , however , so that they ought to be pretty well buffaloed by this time. The first one that shows his head in that door yonder on the morrow , gets a broadside from the gatling that will put him in a place where it's hot enough without burning coal. ( At least we suppose that's where all coal dealers go , sooner or later. We know they ought to. ) We aren't so sure , now that the coal bills are about due , but that we'll wear those shoes with the hole in the sole another month. There's one satisfaction in the forth coming month for the man on a salary it's a short month. But not so short , at that , as it ordi narily is. Confound these presidential years , anyway ! But there's the usual silver lining in the cloud. Just beyond the 1st of the month comes the 2nd of the month , and with It the groundhog and a chance to learn whether this Is going to keep up six weeks more or whether we're going to be able to go out and bat the little white ball around the pasture right away. So after all , there's nothing in the situation that would justify dropping too darn deep In the slough of despond , or in the pond of deslough , or whatever It Is that you're apt to fall into if you don't cheer up. Can't wo tlo anything without that man Taft imitating us ? A few years ago we took to wearing red neckties and as soon as he heard about it , red neckties began to adorn the occupant of the white house and then all Wash ington fell for 'em. A few days ago wo developed a cold. And now , just as night follows day , the president has a cold. Say , how does ho get the word from Norfolk so quickly , anyhow ? Well , that's nil right , old top. You're welcome to the cold , and here's sneez ing at you. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. The pace that kills Is seldom de voted to hard work. Bragging on your friends usually will help you more than praising your self. There are many words which sound HOI HO thmi "alllnity" but mean about ( tin name. While u Hick man may appreciate sympathy , a remedy IB what he Is looking for. About the rarest creation is a wo man who can use perfume without us ing It to excess. If you sign the cheeks you natur ally BOO thlngH from a different angle than most other peoplo. Even If you don't core much what the bosa say It's a good scheme to listen while ho Is talking. A dog may not reason , but a man would have to do a good deal to get along with as little work. An agent Is so well equipped in that respect that he isn't likely to suffer a nervous breakdown. Good soup IB desirable , but a cook shows poor judgment In making It the best part of the meal. When a man swears off from smok ing and then chows a pound of Battle Ax a day , that isn't reform. On the other hand , women lead men into a lot of trouble oven If they don't have to pull very hard. When we do stay up late at night , the entertainment Is more interesting than an eclipse of the moon. Most men like to have you ask them questions If they are able to hand down the correct answer. There Is a good deal to be said in fa\or of a country as long as people prefer abusing it to leaving it. You will observe that man takes more pride in his pioneer ancestors if they got rich selling town lots. Life in the Open isn't often as sat isfactory as It looks on the calendars sent out by the arms companies. In these prosperous times , it IH an unusual girl who hasn't more rings than the greatest show on earth. There are many men bores , but wo men who entoitaln a good deal , piob- ably pay most for the privilege. A jealous woman doesn't usually need to employ a detective. Don't you hate the person who is always trying to catch you in a He ? Anyone who thinks whiskey will cure a cold is apt to die of pneumonia. It Is said no men have been put' ' back to work in the shops at Falls I City. Your views are not so Important that giving them constitutes philan- ' thropy. A good deal of allegiance is given for the purpose of getting the right' of suffrage. Quite a number of people who mar ried for money find they have sold at a low figure. Time is such a speedy gent ho should carry a mowing machine in stead of a scythe. A jackrabbit is as much worse than a cottontail as it Is bigger. If a man has a mean disposition his folks are apt to find it out. How doth the busy little bee get through a hard winter without work ? Doubtless ono reason so many people ple like to work is because they have to. Too many people start down on the theory that they have a round trip ticket. The mere fact that a suffragette can raise a beard doesn't entitle her to vote. Some men would do better if they were willing to be a little lonesome occasionally. It costs a lot to fight tuberculosis but unlike most wars , the fight is worth the price. Probably a squeaky shoe seems to make the loudest noise ; other sounds might carry farther. Think how long a girl has to practice - tico on the piano before she can call her playing a recital. Strange to say , not everyone who bo- believes heaven is right here on earth , is a resident of California. One trouble with the man who is looking for n fight is that ho is apt to be hard to whip. A country man's idea of hardship is living in a flat. An engaged man who is henpecked , ought to run while the track Is good. Some men who seem Important wouldn't if they didn't have a private office. A social favorite must feel tough to think he has to get to work on time. Remorse so seldom gets busy until It Is In a position to advertise its work. Ono should quit drinking whiskey before It begins to taste better than the chaser. Failure to sneeze when one has n hunch In that direction , Is a Great Disappointment. SATURDAY NIGHT SERMONS BY THE LAD WITH THE LUNCH.
