CONFIDENCE RESTORED.

The upward turn in financial mat
tiers has already renewed confidence
throughout the country and there now
seems every reason to believe that
New York's furry Is completely over
and that prosperity will continue un.
abated.
Stocks in New York were stronger,
wheat went up in Chicago and live
stock has advanced at all markets.
This must mean restored confidence
throughout the business world.
The expectation at present is that
banks will resume the payment of
currency within a week, and this an
nouncement has tended to make the
heart of the commercial world beat
more strongly.
With abundance of crops all over
the west, with labor employed and
with holiday season coming on, it is
apparent that normal conditions must
rule the day and that the holiday bus
mess will be unusually large.

NO SYMPATHY FOR GAMBLERS


Now that the country is beginning
to get at the facts of the causes which
led up to the recent financial strin-
gency less and less sympathy is felt
for the money kings Of New York and
their imitators in other parts of the
country, and it is quite evident that
these gentlemen need look for little
assistance from the coming session of
congress. Almost all the congress
men who have reached Washington
admit that the situation Is a serious
one and that some radical remedy
must be devised to supply plenty Of
money. They are, however, says Ray
mond, the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, almost to
a man disposed to put the blame for
the recent trouble upon the specula-
tive influences of New York.
Every congressman from the west
reports the same thing, continues the
correspondent. They come to the
white house and treasury department
and tell identical stories of constant
prosperity, good crops, large demand
for manufactured articles, and with
it all scarcity of money. Many of
them are unable to understand how
two such contradictory conditions can
exist at the same time. What they do
know is that western banks and west
ern capitalists have now and have had
vast sums on deposit in New York,
while western banks today hold New
York commercial paper upon which
they have advanced millions upon mil
lions of money.
The constant complaint which is be-
ing dinned into the ears of Secretary
Cortelyou and President Roosevelt is
that western banks have money
enough on deposit in New York to
move the crops if they could only get
at their own cash. 1t was this COM
portant business center of the west,
which finally induced the president to
resort to the extraordinary device of
issuing interest bearing certificates of
Indebtedness at time when the treas
ury actually had on hand a surplus
amounting to $25OO00,0O0.

EXCHANGE DAY.

1t is with no small degree of salts
faction that The News views the prep
lrations to establish a Farmers Elk
change day in Norfolk, and it is par
rcularly gratifying to note the inter
est that has been taken in the move
by both farmers and townspeople
The News has urged the establish
ment Of an event of this kind for sew
eral years, quoting the success with
which such events are attended in
Wisconsin towns, where they particu-
.arly seem to flourish. An exchange
day held once a month in Norfolk,
when farmers from far and near may
bring articles to a common meeting
place and there either sell them out
right or barter and exchange them
TOR something else that will be of
more service, ought to prove a great
benefit to every one who avails him
self of it's advantages. Around every
place are a number of pieces of ma
chinery and other articles, which have
been outgrown for one reason or an
other and are an eyesore around the
premises, Of absolutely no value I'M
less they can be put to use, which are
Just what some one else wants, and
hey may be brought to the exchange
market and traded for something that
will be of benefit to the owner. Be-
sides the exchange of this class of
commodities, live stock, fruit, vege-
tables, in fact everything that is a
surplus on the farm, may find a good
market on this common day. For
the initial Exchange day arrange
ments have been made with horse
and cattle buyers to be present and
bid on that class of stock. Three
brass bands and a parade will help
9nliven the incidents of the first Ex-
change day in Norfolk. With a con-
tinuance of the enthusiasm with which
this Norfolk event starts out, there
seems no reason why it will not in
time become as much factor in the
life of the community as similar days
have grown to be in those prosperous
Wisconsin towns.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

One of the strongest objections to
government ownership of railways was
illustrated incidentally Saturday in
President Roosevelts letter to cabinet
members instructing them to order
their subordinates not to take any
part in the third term movement
AS has been pointed out before,
government ownership of railways
would mean the building up of an
immense and potent political machine
which could not be thwarted. 1t would
mean that the party in power would
become so intrenched that nothing
short of a revolution could ever over
throw it.
The federal appointments now make
up pretty strong element. There
are good many men directly under
the various branches of the cabinet
And over the cabinet, as was shown in
this letter, is one mantle president
In this instance the dictate of that
head of this machine was that sub,
ordinates cease trying to put him back
in the white house. But in another in
stance the dictate might be, secretly
enough, that the party in power was
to be kept minded, that the presi
dent in the white house were to be re
elected again and again and again sc
far as anybody knows.
There would be grave danger, in
the couple million men who would be
thrown directly under the dictation OF
the president, that machine would
be built which could absolutely con
troll the palitics of the nation. The
country itself would be helpless
against such an organization. And 6
word from the head of the machine
well, word from the head Satur
day stopped big political movement

SOUTH DAKOTA PATRONAGE

President Roosevelt has adopted a
new method of disposing of state pat
ronage in case of deadlock. 1t was
with the drawing of straws and the
flip of coin that he settled a quarrel
over patronage in South Dakota be-
tween Senators Kittrege and Gamble.
These two senators have been at
swords points for long time, though
both are republicans. Last summer
when they passed through Norfolk
with Secretary Taft, they refused to
warm up to one another and the car
was chilly when it reached Norfolk.
Nominations made at the. request of
one, have been promptly blackballed
by the other.
Finally the president sent for each
without the others knowledge. When
they came he requested them to lay
their guns on the table. Then he
held up his hands. In one hand was
a long strip of paper, in the other a
short one. Kittrege guessed the left
hand and won. Again Kittrege won
in a similar lottery and yet a third
time. Then the president borrowed a
silver quarter from Indian Commiss
Toner Leupp and tossed it high in the
air. Call it, Kit" he cried. Kittrege
called heads and heads won. "By
George, you're won again." cried the
president
The incident attracted considerable
interest because of its unusual feat
ures, in Washington. AS a result OF
Kittrege's luck, the senior senator had
the first choice in making appoint
ments

WANTS THE TRIAL TO GO OVER
Unless Continued, Boche Will be Put
on Trial for Murder Next Monday.
A Number of Divorce Gases Disposed
of by District Court.

Madison, Neb., Nov. 26.-Special to
| The News: Senator Allen, as counsel
for Herman Boche charged with the
farmer murder, has filed an applica-
ton to have the Boche case go over
until the next term of court. In the
motion to have the case continued SEN
ator Allen claims that the public mind
is not at this time in such a condition
That Boche can secure the fair and inn
partial trial to which he is entitled
In support of his motion Senator
Allen has filed complete list of ths
newspaper articles on Boche that have
appeared in the papers of the county
since the murder. Boche's attorney
claims that some of the articles show
prejudice and that the great amount
OF space given the prisoner is evidence
of public interest and feeling in the
case.
The volume of the newspaper clip
pings was startling. The clippings
from The News formed a complete
history of Boche's acts from the mo-
ment that he again came prominently
into the public eye on the morning of
| that May day murder.
Senator Allen has been given until
Friday morning to file additional aft
davits in support of his motion.
Some action on the motion for a con-
tinuance is expected next Monday
morning, when district court will con-
vene for jury work
The Boche case has been listed for
trial next Monday but it can hardly
be reached before Tuesday even If
the trial is not hung up on motions.
1t was announced Tuesday afternoon
that the courts work for the present
week would be concluded by evening.
Judge Welch's attention has been
given to routine court business, mo-
tons and divorce cases.
| Three divorces were granted, about
the first definite action OF the court.
George r. Seller of Norfolk was
granted divorce from his wife, Mrs.
Anna S. Seller. He was granted the
custody of the child.
Mrs, Anna L. Hull of Norfolk was
divorced from her husband, Hoagland
Hull.
Mrs. Ida Verplank was released from
the ties that bound her to her hus-
band, John Verplank.
These cases were not contested.

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS.

An interesting article in last week S
Saturday Evening Post by Joseph
Medill Patterson tells some rather
remarkable facts concerning the
''nickelodeons," or moving picture
shows that have become so popular
in such a short time the country over.
Three years ago there was no such
show in America and today there are,
he says, between 1000 and 5000. He
says that this type of entertainment
is tapping an entirely new stratum of
people and is developing in theater-
goers section of the country's pop
ulation that formerly knew and cared
$3.50 per week in a city to operate a
moving picture show with two film
changes week. There is as much
variety in the pictures shown as there
Is in the drama. The picture machine
people have studios of their own where
they prepare the scenes. In New York
they hire actors just under first class
to pose. In Paris there has developed
a class of actors and actresses who
do nothing else but pose for the pic
ture machines. Mr.. Patterson gives
the moving picture machine a special
place in the life of today-calls it a
potent factor in civilization.

ROOsEVELT's PART IN IT.

President Roosevelt's part in the
recent financial disturbance is discuss
ed by a number of well known men
in last weeks issue of current mag
azine. John Wanamaker lays the
trouble to dishonest financiers and in
no way holds the president responsible
for the condition. Others more or less
blame the president for melting loss
of confidence.
John G. Shedd of Marshall Field
company gives the president credit
for being sincere but says that for a
man in his exalted position his utter
ances have probably been incautious.
Mr., Shedd says that with commodities
all being brought faster than mills
can produce them and that with prices
and wages high, no serious harm
could come at the present time.
John Wanamaker puts it this way:
Things are quieting down, the worst
