CORN PALACE SUCCESS.

Those commercial travellers out of
Norfolk who have been trying to In
terest the business people of Norfolk
In corn palace project similar to-
argument in new success for the
venture at Mitchell this year. At
least the following dispatch from
Mitchell contains nothing which could
in any way tend to discourage the
corn palace advocates:
Mitchell, S. d., Sept, 24.-Two ex-
press trains today on the Milwaukee
road brought in the largest crowd that
Mitchell has ever had on the second
day of its corn palace, these coming
from Aberdeen, Platte and Armour
The bands from Tyndall and Armour
accompanied the people from that sec
ton. AT the afternoon concert there
were few vacant seats in the vast
building and there were hundreds OF
people still on the street who did not
care to get in the jam in the palace.
Sousa and his band has captured the
people of the state with his music.
There are a great many Iowa and
Illinois people here who are pleased
with the display of the agricultural
products in the palace and are carry
ing home with them samples of the
corn and wheat. Two excursion trains
will come tomorrow from Sioux City
and Canton.
Every Norfolk man who has visited
a.,
over the undertaking of similar pro-
ject in this city. For Norfolk has
much the same geographical location
that is enjoyed at Mitchell and It Is
argued that even mightier and bet
ter settled territory would contribute
to the success of the corn palace here
An agricultural display, a fine blood
ed live stock show and festival OF
merit with high grade attractions such
as Sousas band, all occupying a week
after the fall harvest, should prove Of
great interest in this section. 1t would
be great advertisement for this new
northwest's ability to produce higl
class grain and stock. 1t would brins
the people of the northwest together t
shake hands and renew old times. |
would serve TO retain for the north
west much of the shopping that nov
goes to Omaha and Sioux City at in
terstate fair and Aksarben time.
At Mitchell the expenses of the af
fair are paid by admissions to the BIZ
entertainments which are given tire,
times a day.
1t is none too early for Norfolk t
begin planning corn palace for mex
fall.

AFTER IMPURE MILK.

It is gratifying to note that both
and state authorities have TAX
en- up the matter of impure milk and
the disease that it spreads, for thor
ough investigation. AS result of
this investigation, even though munich
palities have not yet been brought to
a realization of the Importance OF 1t,
let it be hoped that the public may
receive something like protection
against the spread of diseases by
means of impure milk.
President Roosevelt is said to be
deeply interested in this question and
has directed that the impure milk
problem be probed to the bottom all
over the United States. AS result
circulars have been sent out from
Washington to state and municipal Of
flcials of Nebraska and every other
state, seeking detailed information as
to the spread of epidemics and con-
tagious and infectious diseases by
means of unsanitary milk. 1t is ex-
pected that the circular will bring
much valuable information to the ma
tional government.
DR.. c. A. McKim, state veterinarian
in Nebraska, has called a meeting of
Nebraska stockmen for Oct. 2, at
South Omaha, to discuss just such
questions and the means of eradicat.
ing the evil.
The News has in times past suggest
ed that, pending state law providing
municipal protection, Norfolk and 9th
er cities would well afford, for the
sake of the public health, to appoint q
local inspector whose duty 1t would
be to make sure that every COW Civ
ing milk drank in the community was
in good health. and ordering every
tubercular COW found to be shot. The
city could even afford to recompense
the owner of such condemned animals
That this view is sound is shown by

hope they profited by their generosity
in giving such valuable prizes.

Early Dakota history was recalled
by the Canton Tribune in commenting
on the establishment of the Trip
County Index, the new paper at Lam.
70: "The Trip County Index, pub
lished by w. Il. Brldgman, is the new
est reservation publication. 1t is
published at Lamro, in the county
west of Gregory, which was named
after General William Trip, the first
surveyor general of the territory, and
the elder half brother of Judge Tripp.
Gregory county was named after j.
Shaw Gregory formerly agent for the
Ponca Indians, and son of Admiral
Gregory of the navy. General Trip
and Major Gregory were among the
most prominent men in the territory
in 1870. General Trip was brilliant
lawyer and Major Gregory was what
might be termed an old school club
man. He was a bachelor and enjoyed
the company of his friends in elegant
quarters in Yankton for years.
The following rather unique creed
of state senatorial candidate in Wis
consin is attracting some attention:
| believe that all men are created
| free and equal, but that a great many
of them do not continue to be either.
l believe that an industrious, honest
rich man Is better than a lazy, good
for-nothing poor man.
| believe that the president of a
clean corporation is better than side
walk political reformer.
| believe that this is a grand coun-
try, and that it is not a sure sign of
statesman to kick against it, as jack
ass has a greater reputation for kick
| ing than for brains. | believe that
railroads should have no more favors
than individuals; but that if we had
no railroads in Wisconsin not many
of us would want to live here.
| | believe that a farmer who ships
diseased stock Is as bad as the packer
who sells tainted meat.
believe that the primary law should
be amended-with an axe.
| | believe that the present Australian
ballot should be simplified so that it
will look more like ticket than bed
quilt.
believe that it is better to enforce
our laws rather than increase them.
believe, if my opponent has performed
his duty as he should, for the past
eight years of his office, that he is
tired and needs a rest.
do not ask your support on account
of my nationality, as all my people
have been born in this country and l
am simply an American. l do not ask
your support because of my religion,
as l do not belong to any church, al.
though l am a christian and l believe
that Christ has done more for the peo-
pie of Wisconsin than Bob La Toilette
ever has.
make no promises, and if elected
will vote as 1 please, and believe
that my vote will please the people of
this senatorial district.

COMING TO FEDERAL CONTROL

COMING TO FEDERAL CONTROL.
That the country Is gradually but
surely coming to President Roosevelt
in his theory that the only efficient
supervision of railways, both intra-
state and interstate, must come from
the federal government instead of
from various states, was indicated by
several new developments at the close
of the week.
The incidents In South Dakota,
where the railway commission voted
to reduce passenger fares from three
to two and half cents, and in Louis.

claring that drastic railway legislation

gality Of such rate making. This
epoch will be reached later in South
Dakota and Louisiana, as we'll as other
states. And 1t is significant to note
that the decision Of Judge Lochren
marks another step toward the theory
of the president that efficient super

regulation demanded by the public
and for the sake of protecting corpo
rations against unjust legislation, car
