who He Is.
Judge Norris is a man Of III usual force,
an eloquent taIker, and is popular as a
3urist. Thenominee is now judge Of the Four
teenth judicial district. He was born -
sandusky county, Ohio, July IL, 1851. In
1885 he removed to Nebraska, making his
residence first at Beatrice, where he prac-
tcAd law six months. and then removed
TO Beaver City. About two years ago he
transferred his residence to McCook. One
Of the west end delegates, in speaking
Of him very truthflly said: He is the
kind OF a man who can roll up a majority
Of over 400 votes for himself in a dis
trict, which at the anne time give a ma
iority OF over 600 votes for the fusion
nominees on the state ticket" This hap
pened when Judge Norris was a candidate
for a second term OF the position which
he now holds
E~nthusIastic and snnguine.
Never since the days Of the big repub-
lican majorities in this section OF the state
has there been so much interest manifested
in a congressional convention. From each
Of the eighteen counties came an enthusias-
tic delegation, and candidates were almost
as numerous as when the republicans out
numbered the fusienists in the district by
several thousands. About half OF the dele
gates arrived last night and the others
came on the early morning trains. Nearly
all Of the candidates opened headquarters
in the Bostwick this morning, but did moth
ing more than receive their friends and
mingle with the crowd. The utmost har-
mony prevailed in the preliminary Skin
mlshlng. In the hsndshaking the candi-
dates were Joined by two aspirants for the
gubernatorlal nomination, ]. P. A. Black
of Franklin and j. B. Dinsmore Of Clay.
The prospects OF carrying the district
this year for the republican ticket are, ex-
ceedlngly good. Since the populist year of
1895 the. fusion majorities have grown
steadily smaller and on state and national
tickets have disappeared, the Mckinley
electors receiving a majority OF 4S9 votes
and Judge sedgwick a majority Of 1,7O1. In
1900 webster L. Marian, the republican
nominee for congress. was defeated by only
400 votes. In 1892 the fusion majority for
congressman was $3.50. Since and including
that year the district has voted for con-
gressman as follows:

WHY DON'T THEY GO?
A Way to Push on the chang On's


Perhaps some day you will wake up to
the fact that coffee is quickly and surely
doing the business for you. You wonder
why the symptoms Of disease which grow
more and more pronounced do not disap-
pear. but hang on in spite Of all the medl-
oines you can take.
Fixed organic disease may result II you
keep up your present course, and yet 1t is
an easy thing to give up coffee and get
well. Have your cook make Postum Food
Coffee strictly according to directions, and
that is easy. Use enough of 1t and boil
long enough to bring out the taste, then
you will find that the famous food drink
will satisfy your coffee taste and the old
troubles gradually disappear.
There are hundreds OF thousands Of cases
in America that prove the truth Of this
statement.
A gentleman from Columbus, Ca, says
my wife had been an invalid for some
time and did not seem TO yield to any sort

RepeaI of the Income Tax.

In discussing the downfall of the
income tax, the Memphis News says:
Unless it shall be demonstrated that
Shiras was not responsible for that fatal
blow to justice and respect for law, his
name will go down In American history
coupled with that of Benedict Arnold
and Aaron Burr. 1t may be assumed that
Justice Gray will not allow the charge
that he is responsible for the deciding
vote to go unchallenged If he Is not
guilty.
1t is indeed well to know who the
trucking judge was that rendered a
graded income tax impossible, but it
is much more important to take steps
towards overcoming that appalling de-
cision. For under that decision taxa
tion for federal purposes is largely
to pay them, while those who could
pay them without feeling the burden
of federal taxation as at present
planned falls in great part upon hum
bile consumers. The millionaire es-
capes taxation in proportion to his
means.
There is no tax so just, so easily
borne, as an income tax. and this
country turned to it in the days of
the civil war, and nearly all other
countries maintain it as perpetual
source of revenue.
When the supreme court reversed
itself and struck down in a five-by-
-four decision its own rulings through
out one hunured years, class became
predominant in the great court, and
the one vote that turned the scale
was cast by either Gray or Shiras,
ana the country is entitled to know
which one 1t was. There is no rea-
son why it should not know. Let the
inquiry go on until the wrong done the
country and the mass of taxpayers is
fully and clearly placed. and the
American people will do the rest.

Poll lax the Basis Of Voting.

1t should never be forgotten that
the payment of poll tax on or be-
fore February first, is the essential
condition of voting in the approaching
state primary, if the democrat offer
ing to vote is under As years of age.
Under the primary election law and
the rules of the state executive. COM
mittee only those can vote at the COM
ing primary who are qualified to vote
in the November election, and in the
November election only those can
vote, under 40 years of age, who had
paid poll tax on or before February
l. Payment of poll tax now will not
suffice, and the dating back of poll
tax receipts to February l is an of
Tense against the law. which should
De exposed and punished.
This provision will operate to re-
duce the vote in the coming primary.
The vote may rise to. 70 per cent of
the registration, and undoubtedly 1t
will in the agricultural counties, but
in the mining counties and in all
urban districts it is believed 30 per
cent of the registration is nearer the
number Seventy per cent would give
the party vote slightly above 1885,
900, while so per cent would reduce
the vote to 100000 These may be
considered maximum and minimumA
for the vote will not exceed 70 per
cent of the registration, and it will
not fall below 50 per cent.
This means that the vote of Jeffer-
son will be between 1000 and 10000 in
round numbers, with the chances
much in favor of the former number.
This county seems to have no pride
in the casting of a full vote, for out
of 5000 white men in the county less
than $4,000 are registered.

PoPuLlsTs AND REPUBLICANS.

From the Double Springs New Era.
Why is it that republicans and popu-
lists all over the state are favorable to
Joe Johnston being nominated for gov
ernor by the democrats? The answer is
simply this, they know full well that
Johnston IS not as strong a man as
Governor jerks, and would De easier de-
feated at the general election in Novem-
Der; hence their desire to have Johnston
nominated. This is the same old game
they have been playing FOR many years,
but the rank and file of the democrats
over the state will not allow any such
thing to materia1ize.

PRACTICE OF PISTOL CARRYING.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Give a man a pistol or a knife and II
he gets into a quarrel he win use it.
There ought to be, in this stake OF civil
ization, some method of preventing men
from carrying knives and pistols. I'm
doubtedly there is a way. Other commun-
tiles, nominally less civilized than Chi
cago have found It. Chicago can DEVICE
measures If the proper authorities get to
work at the matter. Send to the bride
we'll without the alternative of a fine,
weapon. That plan has been worked else
where. If 1t does not work here more
strenuous expedients can be devised. The
necessity is for initiative Of some kind.
