The Nebraska legislature has con-

estimation Of the people since the ses-
sion first commenced The voters
held high hope that they had chosen

been pressing for solution, but it is
now feared that they have passed

and sullen at the insistence of the
press that certain matters should re-

the adoption of an anti-pass law, and
there are at present no hopes that
they will change the program. In the
sincerely desire that something should
be accomplished in the interests of
the public; but they are without or
ganization and the session is drifting
into history without the desired ac-
complishment! The newspapers in
every section of the state have ad-
vised and scolded, but to no purpose
and the matters that should have re-
ceived attention will pass over to the

The best argument for the paving
of Main street in Norfolk that has
been offered for some time is the
street itself With wagons and bug
gies dragging along through the busi-
ness part of town hub deep in mud
there is every incentive on the part
of people having pride in the appear
ance of the city and hope for its fu
ture to encourage the fixing up Of the
main thoroughfare. The town has ad-
vanced from the village state and
the business street should bear evi-
dence of the fact. Whether the city
is to wait until it has 5000 people in
the corporate limits and do the work
under compulsion, or whether the
property owners will anticipate that
time and proceed with the work at
the earliest possible moment depends
upon the enterprise of the people. II
will cost no more to pave now than it
will later, and meantime the public
will he getting the advantage of the
improved conditions. None but the
verest pessimist would dare to argue
that the city will never be paved and
he wouldn't believe It, 1t is conclu-
sively proven that the bitches pre-
pared for drainage are not efficient in
the prevention of the forming of mud
and II Norfolk is to become clear OF
the mud nuisance it can only be done
by paving or the laying of macadam.
The proposition of paving is pertinent
right now and should be settled right
1t will be worth all it costs to have
the streets free from the annoying
mud and dust that bother each year
and there will be value in 1t to the
business interests.
