THE STREET FAIR.
Further Opinions Obtained from Norfolk
Business Men,

Business Men.
A number of other merchants and
business men have been asked their
opinion in regard to holding street
fair this fall and, as before: the majority
seems to be highly in its favor There
appears to be well defined sentiment
that it is Norfolk's turn to entertain
and the street fair method is meeting
with much favor, The following are
the opinions
David Baum-It would be first rate
thing if all would take an interest in it.
w. H. Blakeman-It is a very good
way to advertise, but rather expensive.
G.. A. Luikart-It would be source
of profit and splendid advertisement
for the city.
Geo. B. Christoph-If all a.e willing
to take hold and push it along | would
like to see it undertaken.
l. M. Macy-It would be good thing
for the town financially. We have had
no celebration for several years.
G. M. IhOmpsOn-A gOOd thlng ii
not too expensive. 1t would cost con-
siderable to make good display.
G.. d. Jenkins-Would benefit some
lines of business very much and would
result in great deal of pleasure.
N. A. Rainbolt-Never had experience
with that line of entertainment and
don't know the cost or the benefit of it.
G. G. Gow-Would be very good
advertisement for the city. We would
have to raise at least 81 800 to make it a
success and | doubt if that can be done.
w. H. Bucholz-We have not had as
many celebrations as town of this size
should. The business men should dc
something for the entertainment OF
their customers.

FAVOR A STREET FAIR
Some Interviews With Norfolk
Business Men.
MAJORITY SEEN WOULD SUPPORT IT

Some Believe II is Time for Norfolk to
Wake Up-If the Move is Made II Must
he at Once-A Few who are Not Fa-
vorabIy Impressed.
1t is the opinion Of good many resi-
dents of Norfolk that the city should
undertake something rs city, for the
entertainment of the people of the terri
tory of which it is the metropolis. Not
for years has anything been under
taken to attract trade or friendly re-
lations with those upon whom the mor-
chants depend for portion of their
patronage. The street fair proposition
has been discussed at some length and
ment with high favor Many places
whose resources cannot be compared
to those of Norfolk are preparing for Il
fair this fall and will undoubtedly sue
ceed in drawing crowds from their
surrounding territory and interesting
them in visiting the city.
If Norfolk undertakes anything of the
kind preliminary steps should be com
menced at once, as there is much to do
and the golden fall with its entertain
menrs and enjoyments is rapidly ap-
preaching.
At Omaha the knights of Ak. Sar- Ben
and at Fremont the knights of St.
Eebragus are doing much to advertise
their towns and provide fall festivals.
TO be up to date THE News
suggests that Norfolk hustlers might
organize into the knights of Klo From
and do something in keeping with the
name that would be surprisingly de.
lightful.
Knowing that fall festival had been
discussed more or less, tho reporter for
this paper while on his rounds this
morning, interviewed number of re.
preventative citizens and although nc
effort was made to see all, it seems that
large majority are in favor of the
project.
The following are the opinions OF
those seen:
+. b. Ovelman-It is something of @
chestnut
Geo Davenport-It would be a very
good thing.
J. b. Maylard-It's a good thing
Push it along.
@. p. Micheal-I would like to see one
very much. 1t would be good thing
for the city.
Robt Utter-Am very much in favor
of it. 1t would be both entertaining and
money making.
+. A. Beeler-It would be gooG
thing for the town and would certainly
draw big crowd
Captain A. n. Gerecke-A good
money making thing for the city. A
business proposition.
Asa X. Leonard-Very fayorably i'm
pressed with the idea and consider il
would be an excellent thing for the city
Al Degner-It would be fine thIns
for Norfolk but as Ringling's circus il
coming that may answer The amuse
ment purpose.
p A. Shurtz-It would be very mic,
thing. The people should get togethe
and do something toindicate that Nor
folk is on earth.
Frank Davenport ought 10 get ,
crowd here some time. This town
ought to be advertised little. II W,
could have a good one it would be flint
thing,
w. II. Johnson-It is good thing
but requires lots of money. IL will taxi

1he Sword and tho Pen.

The saying about the sword as the
supporter OF the pen has more ven
cradle antiquity than the German
kaiser attributes to 1t. says the West
minister Gazette. Nor was it originally
said By Prussian king; but it was
said TO a German kaiser at a time
when no one would think 1t probable
shat the imperial dignity would pass
TO Prussia. Moreover, the author OF
the saying was an Englishman and not
= German. The English Franciscan,
aominalist. philosopher and statesman,
William of Ockham, offered his ser
vices 10 the Emperor Ludwig the Ba-
varian, during the conflict between
pope and emperor. with the words:
'Tu me defendas gladio, ego tie de-

friar OF the middle ages meant was
that he would undertake the literary
campaign against popery If the en-
peror would protect him in the event
