PRIMARY AND NEWSPAPERS.

ton before the primaries as provided
by the new law. For such announce
ments uniform price of $500 will be
charged for county and state offices

Spencer Advocate.
The News has always contended
that newspapers of the state will be
chiefly benefited as a result of the new
primary law enacted by the last Ne
braska Legislature and which is sched-
uled for trial this summer for the
first time. No primary law that has
proven satisfactory to the voters has
yet been adopted by any state and
there will no doubt be features in the
law this year TO provoke unpopularity
for the new measure, But the law
was enacted at the request of all party
platforms and the public ought to have
a chance to try it. One of the first
newspapers to control the nominations
of all parties. The best advertised
men will win. And one of the first
problems up against which candidates
will find themselves is the problem OF
publicity. Advertising in papers be
fore the primary is not going to be in
no oil oil
the Spencer Advocate showing thai
Boyd county candidates for nomina
tons in either party will pay for the
advertising space in that paper at 81
per, while dailies in larger centers o
population, reaching more people, will
no doubt charge higher rates, in &C
cordance with their calculations.
To certain extent the same system
has been witnessed by Nebraska TO
some years, in the Douglas county pri
maries. People out through the stat,
will recall having seen photographs o
all candidates, republican and demo
cratic, inserted in the advertising col
umns of all papers some days befor,
the primaries. The candidates foun,
that the easiest way TO reach the vot
ers with announcements of their can
didacy for nomination, was through
the newspapers, and it was demon
strated that the men whose names
were best known by the voters gen
orally won.

is also true that man who had spent
his lifetime I'm the service OF his coun.

than this. There IL no reason why a
man of Minister Congdr's ability de-
voting all OF his energies In behalf OF
the government, should not have been

as though he had spent his time and
energy In his own behalf.
As It stands today, there is little In
ducement for q young man to enter
politics for his lifes work, and there
are many inducements to keep out.
The salaries often are attractive
enough, but they are salaries that come
easy and go easy and when they sud
denly come to an end, the Office holder
who has been drawing the big checks,
Is at loss which way to turn. He
has no business of his own, the work
that he has learned was for building
up the governments business, and he
has accustomed himself to ways Of
living In keeping with position and
salary, which are difficult to quit.

ness for himself II Is safe to say that
he would have left enough In ma
terial way TO his widow and children
to keep the wolf from the door. There
is nothing disgraceful about poverty,
but after giving over his life to hard
work a man Is entitled to enough OF
an accumulation to leave his depen'
dents in at least comfortable circum'
stances. This being true In private
industry, 1t ought to be true of public
service. But the example afforded by
Conger and many another man tends
to show that the field of politics is not
as lucrative in dollars and cents as II

It Is that Conger and many another OF

vice in private industry has as Its
possible reward both honor and a com
potency, so the same faithful service
for the public ought to have as great
a possible reward hung up at the Other
end of the line. Just how this is ever
to be brought about, though, is a per
picking problem. That higher sala
ries will not accomplish the end Is
apparent, since the higher salaries
would go with ease just as lower ones

field of politics must to large exten

is many hours closer to Norfolk than

of railroad from Springview, in Keya

to Omaha, will take another section
now closest to Norfolk, tributary to
the southern part of the state. w.
Norfolk's opportunity for securing a
foothold in that section and, by ap'
preaching the quality of mercantile
stocks found in larger cities, insuring
the city's growth in business is better
today than 1t has ever been before OIL
ever will be again. This fact Is rec
ognized by commercial Norfolk and
the business interests of the town are
preparing to build up trade that has
hitherto gone through Norfolk instead
of stopping here.

Discrimination Is abomlnable. That Is
one OF the main things that has occu-
pied the public's attention In America
for many moons There ought to be
no discrimination. Yet there Is no
remedy, so long as state has iurls-
dlction over commerce within Its Dor
ders, while the federal government
controls transportation between states.
The president insists that the state is
out of order in trying to control any
transportation and that 1t all belongs
to the federal government, which
alone could equaize and adjust condi'
lions to the end that all states and all
peoples would pay equally, just as is
the case in postal matters.
If each state were to control intra
state postal affairs, with federal de
partment to control interstate postage
matters, somewhat the same confusion
would result which is now seen in the
efforts of states and nation to control
variously, the two classes of transpor
tation.
Commissioner Williams argues tina
congress has power only to contro
such matters as are delegated to 1t b!
the states. President Roosevelt takes
the view that congress has certain
constitutional functions to perform
and that is one Of them.

STATE AND NATION.

The confusion foreseen by President
Roosevelt as a result of efforts of both
state and nation to regulate commerce,
has been eXemplified in Missouri, A
conflict of authority has arisen and
the transportation companies are obey

disregarding the order of the state
court. Just such confusion as this
foreseen by the president, caused him
to deliver his recent address urging
that the control of all commerce, in,
trastate and interstate, is the function
of the federal government and not
the function of the several states
which by passing unequal laws place
determinations upon the citizens OF
some states as compared with those
of others. 1t was to this doctrine, ad

THE CENTURY "STUNG."

Richard Watson Glider has been
stung. Mr.. Glider is editor of the
Century magazine and the Century
prints in its current issue letter of
Victor Hugo in which the author de-
scrbes his purpose In writing Les
Miserables." An introductory para
graph says that lit is believed to be an
unpublished letter." But the letter
turned out to be lemon.
"Old subscribers" began writing i'm
mediately after the publication of the
letter, to tell the editor that the letter
In question had been published quite
generally as an addendum to Les
Miserables." Many reprints at pres
ent circulating in the country contain
II.
Richard Watson Glider is a brother
of Robert Glider one of the live men
on the Omaha World.Herald. The
Omaha Glider found the Oldest mans
frame that has yet been dug up in
America. Perhaps he might give his
brother a few suggestions in the art
of being accurate But after all it's
satisfaction that even the magazines
are not perfect. This is the eXplana-
ton given by one of the Century ed
itors:
"The letter was sent to us by q
friend of the Countess Rozadowska,
whose husband was formerly Italian
consul at Chicago, The countess found
it among the papers of her father
Count Pope, who died some years
ago. We had a search made of the
volumes of Hugo's correspondence in
the Aston library and the man we as
signed to the task reported the letter
could not be found. We also submitted
the letter to Hugo expert, and he
pronounced it genuine, so we thought
ourselves safe in publishing It,"
