TIME TO REFORM.

II Is said that Norfolk has not been
SO infected with women of the street
for years as 1t is right now. 1t is
claimed by those who know that in.
mates of the redllght district have not
| in many moons been allowed to walk
about town and to remain inside the
city limits as much as at the present
time. The other night Il house was
raided n man and woman found, and a
notice given of arrest Instead of TAX
| ing the prisoners to Jail, as the law
provides, n police officer of Norfolk,
because he declared that the Jail was
no place for n woman, allowed the pair
to remain at liberty over night on
their promise to appear in court next
morning Next morning they had fled,
of course.
Who is responsible for this condi-
tion of affairs?
At the last municipal election, the
whole campaign was waged and turned
on the police force. That was the piv-
otal point of the votemaking re,
form was promised.
Has the reform been delivered?
Not many days ago Judge Wester.
welt, police Judge, publicly brought to
light a condition in the police depart
ment that was wrong. Under his fire
one man admitted that he had been
wearing policemans star and had
impersonated an officer He claimed
he did 1t for the good of the commun
ity. Impersonating an officer Is a
penitentiary offense in Nebraska. The
city attorney had declared to the po
lice Judge few days before that he
would take action against any case OF
the sort brought to his attention. And
the man admitted in public that he
had worn the policeman's badge ant
that he was not an officer under bond
Furthermore he declared that. in spite
of the orders of the police Judge, ht
would continue to make arrests, ever
if he had to put up the necessary
bonds to do it,
Under the police department which
J lost office to allow the reform police
men to take the field, there was NJ
complaint of the city's being file,
with women in violation of the ordi
J nance.

to fulfill its duty by placing a woman
lawbreaker in Jail because it consid

NoRTHWEsTERN's NEW BALLAST
lncoIn-Fremont Line is to be Brought
up to NorfoIk-Lonq Pine Class.

1t is reported that the Northwestern
will ballast and lay new rails on its
Lncoln-Fremont line of road during
the year to come and that the road
will be brought up to the standard of
main lines. 1t is not known just how
soon the work will start but it is be
lieved that it will begin when the frost
gets out of the ground.
The ballast will come from Grand
Junction, Iowa, where the company has
a ballast quarry. This rock was used
to ballast part of the Iowa main line
and to improve part of the line west
of Missouri Valley.
Some rapid work is being done or
the line being built by this company
said that work will soon be in prog
ress on both ends of this extension
1t is predicted this extension will be
built and in use before the line to Ian
der is complete. The work west o.
Casper has been going slowly, because
of the scarcity of labor. and it is now
believed that it will take most of the
next season to complete the line tC
Shoshoni.
A great deal of work has been done
on the Northwestern line from Ere
mont to Long Pine during the past five
years, and this piece of road is nov
up to standard. 1t is laid with heavy
rails and grades and curves have beer
taken out to such an extent that it IL
capable of handling heavy traffic eco
nomically.

MAY BUILD NEW 1AEATER
A SYNDICATE OWNING ELEVEN
PLAYHoUSES, PLANS 1T.
sTlTT is NOW DRAWING PLANS

A Theater With Seating Capacity of
800 to 900, and With Stage Facilities
For Handling All of the Shows on
the Road is Designed.
A proposition has been under way
for a short time toward the building
of another theater in Norfolk, which
will be owned and operated by an out
side syndicate. This syndicate owns
or controls eleven houses now and has
ample booking facilities to assure a
full bill throughout the season.
1t is impossible to ascertain any in
formation regarding the syndicate be-
yond these and the fact that it is
strong enough financially to build a
theater in Norfolk and operate it. ].
C. Stitt has been given a commission
to draw up preliminary plans for o
modern house of between 500 and 900
seating capacity with stage large
enough to accommodate any of the
road plays. The house is to be aDso-
lutely modern in every way.

A short time ago the cry of our NOR
alistic writer's were fearing that Amer
leans were going money mad, The
danger of sacrificing everything to the
amassing of wealth was extensively
dealt upon. During the past year n
great change in public sentiment has
taken place in public opinion. The
pendulum has swung to the opposite
extreme. Rich men are put on the de-
fensive and there is strong feeling
that wealth is likely to imply dishon'
esty. Either of these extremes are
harmful. Wealth is not to he wor'
shipped, neither is it to be despised.
Our great institutions could not exist
without rich men to back them, but
they should not be allowed to oppress
the widow and orphan for their own
enrichment Money is necessary but
It must be honestly manipulated If the
country is to continue prosperous.

great burdens of life that break down
the health and nerve of the average
person in this nervous and high strung
age as it is the little worries and ag-

sad state that so many intelligent and
resourceful men and women should
be reduced to nervous prostration by
the friction of little things which are
of no vital consequences taken one at a

career OF Marshall Field, who began
as clerk at the age of seventeen,
with only an ordinary education and
unaided, through the years Of close
application and times of discourage
ment, to the place which he occupied
at the time of his death, proves con-
clusively that man can become inn
