FOR AN ALCOHOL FACTORY.

The suggestion that Norfolk be made
an alcohol manufacturing center un.
der the provisions of the denatured al.
cohol bill that has just been made
law and which takes from alcohol to
be used in the arts and manufactures
the internal revenue tax, ought to be
worthy of investigation by Norfolk
business interests, inasmuch as there
is today owned by this city an aban-
doned sugar factory in which there are
now boilers and around which there
are many acres of fertile land to be
used.
With the tax taken off OF alcohol
which Is to be used in the manufac-
lures and the arts, the plant could, 1t
is said, be made a success here as well
as anywhere It Is done in Europe
and there is said to be no reason why
it could not be done here. Local cap
ital would probably invest in such an
industry, If someone who knew how
to run the plant and manage the in
stitution could be found, and it might
be the means Of rehabilitating a plant
that has lain idle for some little time
and which, by it's idleness, has cost
Norfolk many dollars.
1t has been pretty we'll demonstrate
ed that no sugar factory is going to
go back into the abandoned buildings
here and try to make success of the
industry where one firm has failed
1t is true that Norfolk farmers already
know all about beets, and that this is
an advantageous feature over starting
an industry that would require new
knowledge along some other line, bu
it is also true that the farmers of this
section of the state can make none,
too easily off of other crops, in which
there Is not so much very hard labor
Beets are for the country that will
raise nothing else. They are for tn,
land that has to be irrigated, ant
which will then produce as good ;
beet as any acres. But land that will
F produce corn and wheat and othe
such crops, will not permanently, a.
l was demonstrated in Norfolk. be glvel
over to the raising of beets at tn
rate that can be paid for the roots
= And where the factory overpays, il
order to secure the beets, such result
as that in the factory down at Leavit
are found, that plant now being in tn
hands of a receiver.
e 1t looks now as though the packin
plant that had, a while back, bee
suggested for Norfolk's deserted builC
# ings, would not materialize, and otl
er sorts of industries that have bee
C suggested have not shown signs {
= growing out of their infant stage. An
so it is about time for Norfolk to b.
e gin to look for something new wit
X which to start again the wheels {
J. manufacturing in this CITY, And til
o. denatured alcohol bill opens an oppo
n tunity.
1t might be that this could not /
~ made to pay, but it looks as thoue
n it surely ought to be worth the inve
tigation of the business men who oW
it stock in the old sugar factory.

Now that It Is learned that the dig
ging of the canal which Is to drain the
west end of Norfolk, will cost Madison
county but nominal sum, and that
the expense of the digging will be
taxed up against the property owners
who are to be benefited in the end,
the people living throughout the coun-
ty will need to have no alarm over the
situation. And It Is further learned
that the first estimates of the cost
were wildly exaggerated, and that the
ditch will not be nearly so expensive
as had been believed. The ditch will
save the taxpayers of both the city OF
Norfolk and the county of Madison
many hundreds of dollars each year or
repairs.

In Massachusetts the position OF
lieutenant governor is n stepping stone
TO the seat of governor and the man
who worthily serves his apprenticeship
as lieutenant governor invariably gets
the nomination for the higher office.
That would be n mighty good idea for
Nebraska to work out. In the past
there have been times when the lieu
tenant governor became governor by
accident. and the state lived to see
the day that that condition was re-
gretted

The Russian czar made professions
of wanting to do the square thing to-
ward his people, but he failed to come
up with the goods. The premier's
speech, in which he said that there
could be nothing that had been asked
by the lower house, was like throw
ing n red rag in the face of a
bull, and trouble that has been
brewing for many moons over there
may very easily be expected as re-
suit, There is no race of people on
earth which, after having been
whipped into line and downtrodden as
the Russian peasants have, will not
eventually revolt. Russia has stood as
the most cruel and brutal of all the
worlds governments in her treatmen

though the revenge for all Of the terms
