tory tributary to this city as com.
merclal center. The News trusts that
these new readers may become perma.
nont friends as time goes on. After
visiting them each day for some time,
The News hopes that Its service may
be so satisfactory that they will not do
without It. And from past experience
with other now warm friends, this end
will be attained.
A word OF introduction may not be
out OF order. The Norfolk News has
been running as daily paper for TWEEN
ty years It was nineteen years ago
the first day OF next December that
the paper was taken over by the pres.
ent management. Until four years ago
The News was purely local daily,
reaching only Norfolk. At that time a
campaign OF expansion was begun and
noon edition installed by means OF
which The News might reach all of
northern Nebraska and southern South
Dakota with the worlds telegraph
news and news of this territory, many
hours ahead Of any other papers. The
success OF this experiment has been
more than satisfactory. The growth
has been rapid and substantial ever
since. Today The News has three edi.
lions day, reaches practically every
home in Norfolk, nine out of ten of the
farm homes on five rural routes out Of
Norfolk, and several thousand homes
out through Madison county and the
rest of northern Nebraska and south
ern South Dakota.
The News is always twenty-four
hours ahead with daily market reports.
1t is always ahead with news of this
territory. 1t scores many important
news beats" in vitality important
items. Among the telegraphic reports
given to News readers twenty-four
hours ahead Of other papers, have
been: The fall of Port Arthur, the Slo-
cum horror, the death of the pope, the
San Francisco earthquake, the death
of Edward Rosewater, the Thaw trial
the Bancroft lynching,
and many other equally and less i'm
portant reports. This is mentioned
merely for the sake of showing our
new readers what we are going to do
for them.
The News has tried to do its share
toward developing this new northwest.
1t expects to continue. Through The

Is believed, has felt some benefit.

may become permanent members of
It's northwest family.

TUBERCULAR CATTLE.

lowa's experience with tuberculosis
and milk only tends to strengthen the
argument made and oft repeated in
these columns that Nebraska ought to
adopt an inspection system for the
protection of its citizens from tuber.

expressed the opinion that the Nor.
folk city council could do no more
beneficial thing than to provide for
local inspection until the state gets
ready to protect its citizens as It
should.

that most OF the tuberculosis comes
from tubercular herds of dairy COWS.

THE FARMERS GREAT EARNINGS

Who could doubt that the United
States is to continue in it's present
unequalled prosperity, in view of the
fact that the American farmer this
year has earned a thousand million
dollars more than he did a year ago?
And who, indeed, would covet a
monopoly on the worlds oil supply
or thread supply, so long as the field
for farming remains open to bestow
independence, health, happiness and
the respect Of ones neighbors upon
ones shoulders.
According to preliminary report
on the present seasons crops, which
will be published In the next issue of
the American Agriculturist, the Amer
lean farmer has earned this year
ST., O0O,000,000 more than last And
we all thought he was doing pretty
well last year.
The increased earnings of the farm
are due not to an increase in crop
production, for the crops are estimated
at ten per cent less this year than last,
but to the increased prices for every
commodity which the farmer has for
sale.
And so 1t is apparent, from the fact
that the crop is less but the earnings
greater than year ago, that after all
this general prosperity is being evenly
distributed. Contrary to the outcry
OF the demagogues, every class of cit
lien in the United States is getting a
slice of the melon of prosperity. And
In spite OF the cries of alarm lest with
In few years three or four men will
own us all, body and soul, these fig
ures indicate that after all the Amer.
lean farmer, and with him the rest of
the masses, are holding their own
and then some.
When the farmer is prosperous, the
balance of the nation is bound to be
likewise prosperous. The farmer is
the foundation Of our prosperity and
with this immensely increased earning
for the farm in the present season,
there is every prospect for a cor
increase in the nations
general business prosperity.
With a thousand million dollars
more this year than he earned last,
he American farmer is going to be
able this winter to buy a piano for the
1arlor, an automobile for his own com.

| farmers busy season and Il is not to
be expected that the full farming
strength will ever, at this time of year,
be manifest in the primary ballot. On
| the other hand, however, the city chap
who has merely to step around the
corner to vote on his way home at
night, will take advantage OF the bal
lot as a sort of novelty, and will eff.
fectually silence the voice from out in
the country. This complaint that the
cities have been given absolute con.
troll of things political by the primary
is borne out by the vote. Reports
from Omaha and Lincoln show that
"a heavy vote was cast" Reports
from all smaller towns and country
precincts, on the contrary, show that
IAN exceedingly light vote was cast"
In Norfolk about IT'S votes were cast
altogether, while the towns voting
strength is about 1000. In Creighton
only thirty-five votes were cast and In
smaller towns five and six ballots
only.
And these are but types Of the re-
ports which have come from all Sec
tions, proving that the primary has
created ring" rule by throwing the
nomination of state candidates into
the cities.
The idea that political trades are i'm.
possible under the primary, is another
preposterous feature. 1t Is ridiculous
to presume that there can be no under
standing among communities which
will bring about the same political
barters that are complained of under
the convention system.
And another unsatisfactory feature
that has been brought out is demon
strated by the Bassett instance in
which a well known democrat went to
the polls and voted the republican
ticket. BY concerted voting in the
ranks of another party, few voters
could easily succeed in nominating a
weak candidate on the opposite side
for the purpose of insuring his defeat
and the defeat of his party with him.
A law that allows such trickery is on
the wrong track.
1t is all we'll and good to seek out
systems which will put the best men
in office and which will put down
ring" rule. But it might as we'll be
recognized that the primary is not and |
will not be effective in eliminating
tricks to control politics, so long as |
politics has to deal with human ma
ture. And in seeking to wrest party |
control from factions or machines"
it might as well be recognized first as
last that the public at large had full
sway over the old caucus system, if it
chose to exercise it's rights, and with
out the added burden of another cleo
TONS expense thrust upon it every
year..
No state in the union has yet found
a primary system that was satisfac-
tory. Apparently Nebraska has not
solved the problem And meanwhile
the taxpayers Of the state are paying
pretty dearly for their experiment.

Of school used to be like? How you

new teacher and laughed at the way
she mispronounced most of the names?
And how you half envied the few who
brought their lunches in big square
tin pals, with little cups on top, and
who remained at noon to eat cold pie
and drink cold coffee on the doorstep?
It's great day, the first day of school,
but 1t doesn't last long. The weeks
will fly by and the months, and the

NEW YORK.


Good progress has been made in accom-.
modating the country to the changed
financial conditions, this. too, with strik-
ingly little friction, considering the scare
ity of currency and the widespread sub
stitution Of credit instruments for actual
cash. At the same time wholesale and
jobbing trade has quieted down very per-
ceptibly, and the disposition in industrial
lines has been to curtail production wher-
ever possible, the aim being to avoid un-
necessary or possibly burdensome ccum
~lations of stocks.
There is a rather more optimistic tone
prevailing this week than last, the out
growth of the better feeling at the East,
the large arrivals of gold from Europe,
and the idea that basic conditions, both
as regards the purchasing power of the
people and the absence of large stocks,
are better than in some preceding years
of stress. There are, it is true, increasing
evidences that the level of commodity
prices has been forced unreasonably high,
and that the process of readjustment will

Priest Replies To pone.

In his reply to Pope Plus X, for which
ae has been virtually communicated
by the head of the church, Father Tyr
rell, the English Jesuit, refuses to accept
the implications of the Pope's document
that he, as a Modernist, places himself
outside the pale of the church. In Sc
we're terms he arraigns the document for
identifying true Catholicism with a sci
ence theory and psychology that are as
strange as astrology to the modern mind.
and are practically unknown outside sem
mary walls, save to the historian of phi
losophy." He says the encyclical as an
argument falls dead for every one who
regards it's science theory as obsolete;
for all who believe that truth has not
been stagnating for centuries in ~tleolog-
ical seminaries, but has been steadily
streaming on with ever-incrcasing force
and volume in the channels which liberty
has opened to its progress. He charac-
terizes the document as "a clear and
inal demonstration of the futility of pour.
ing new wine into old bottles of the at

twentieth century under the categories of

Thanksgiving is a heritage from our

cans who are true to their traditions
always do their best, of course. But
this year the American father will find
himself against a proposition which diff
fers a little from that of his progeni-
tors who provided the feast Of thank
fulness for the hungry youngsters Of a
century or two ago. Then the head Of
the household would shoulder his rifle
and go out to knock over a couple Of
wild turkeys while his good wife was
busy getting u from the cellar the
vegetables and fruits to complete the
feast. Nowadays father will have to
hand out In unusual sum If the good
wife is to feed everybody turkey with
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and 9TH

com to be necessary to the celebration
of the day. 1t costs much more now

Latest Kinls in TroIlexs.

On the Madison avenue line at New
York a new type of surface trolley car
has just been put in operation, which is
an improvement as to comfort, speed and
safety. This car, which is known as the
Montreal car" is longer thar the pre-
vailing kind, and has platforms so rallied
as to divide the passengers who enter
from those who leave. Passengers can
leave the car at either end, but can board
it only at the rear. The conductor col
lects fares at the rear door as the pas
sengers enter, so that he will not have to
20 through the car at all. Each rear
platform holds twenty passengers, and as
soon as all up to this number are on he
gives the signal to 90 ahead. Th passen-
gers pay and enter while the car is in
motion. Push buttons at every seat en-
able any passenger to stop the car at any
point desired. The cost of each car is
$500.
