COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATION.

There may be compensation even
though Norfolk should lose the federal
court and n portion of the appropra-
ton needed for the hospital If moth
ing more, the loss will impress wildly
upon us the fact that there come occa-
sions now and then when, for the citys
public welfare, there should be some
organized method of meeting emergen-
cies and looking out for Norfolk. Many
have expressed the idea that there was
little or nothing that a business mems
organization could do The present
crisis brings home tte fact that there
are occasions which demand public &C
ton.
The incident will place more faith
in the Commercial club and it's posi-
bilities. Perhaps we have all, in not
realizing just what Commercial club
can mean to city, helped to bring
about inaction. 1t now becomes the
duty of us all-of all Norfolk-to
breathe back into the Commercial club
renewed confidence and energy and
encouragement.
Men who work for the public work
at personal sacrifice. The burdens
Of all invariably fall upon few. And
the work of those few is seldom fully
appreciated by the public at large.
But that's the human way.
Business men Of Norfolk realize that
past indifference may have contributed
to inaction on the part of our business
mems organization. Lack Of encour.
agement from the members may have
been like throwing cold water upon
efforts OF officers. There has been
nothing deliberate among members to
discourage the men chosen to do things
that need looking after; there has been
probably nothing deliberate in the lack
of achievement. A sort of public in.
difference has perhaps had much to
do with results. 'H
The federal court situation and the
hospital incident bring home the re.
suit OF Indifference regarding public
good. Once realizing that co-opera.
ton and encouragement are needed
from every individual in the town
where few are to carry the burden
of public betterment, Norfolk business
men will stand together loyalty. 1t is
perhaps safe to say that no city of
5000 people could be found anywhere
in this country where live as progress.

Norfolk
The trouble has been that the value
of cooperative organization among
business interests has been treated
with something of lack of interest
The loss of two important possessions
would bring out this value in black
type.
There is this hope left with regard
to both these matters. The legislature
has not yet passed the hospital appro
priation and If immediate action were
taken the hospital here might fare as
it should, or nearly so. The amended

OUTRAGE TO NORTH NEBRASKA

OUTRAGE TO NORTH NEBRASKA
No greater injustice to half states
popul9 zion was ever perpetrated than
exists in the move by the Nebraska
congressional delegation to deprive
the northern half of this state of a
federal court point. 1t is reported
from Washington that the Nebraska
congressional delegation has practical
ly determined to designate Omaha,
Grand Island and Alliance as federal
court towns to handle cases original
ing in the northern half of the state.
For the greater portion of north Ne
braska this would merely mean a con-
tinuation of the old journeys to Omaha
and back, consuming 240 more miles
of travel and many more days in time
than would be necessary if the people
of this section were given their due in
the designation of Norfolk as a point
for holding court terms.
There is one United States court
house in northern Enthusiastically
ern Nebraska" advisedly because Oma-
ha and Grand Island are not in north

The people of the Third congressional
district years ago succeeded in estab-
fishing a federal court point in their
midst. Later they succeeded, through

DRUG SMUGCLER'S
CASE CONTINUED
Cripple Accused of Secreting Morphine
in Wooden Leg for Benefit of
Prisoners Serving Long
Terms

Henry Watkins. charged with trying
to smuggle morphine to the prisoners
in the city jail, was taken before Police
Justice Chambers yesterday afternoon
and asked that his case be continued
until this morning, as his attorney had
failed to put in an appearance. He said
he had engaged Attorney Townsend to
handle his case and expected the lawyer
would be present. The case was set
for this morning at 1880 o'clock.
WATKINS is a cripple, both legs having
been cut off above the knees in a rail-
way accident several years ago. He is
said to have secreted a bottle of NOR
phine in one of his wooden stumps.
Saturday night he applied at the police
station for help, and asked that he be
locked up for drunkenness. His request
was granted. When admitted to the
Jail he asked trusty to lock him up
with the long term prisoners, but Jaier
Boise heard the request and took the
man out and searched him. The bottle
was found, and a complaint was sworn
out for Watkins arrest.

In accepting the election to the United
States senate Guggenheim came out
strongly in favor of the policies of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt, and 1T is De-
lieved by the people of Colorado that
he will carry out his expressed pur-
pose of standing by the president in all
the policies of government. He belongs
to a family which is somewhat Old
fashioned in it's views of business
honesty ana square dealing, and the
people Of the state have wonderful
faith in his candor and sincerity
In realizing his ambition to become a
senator Guggenheim has had to adjust
himself to various new phases of public
life. He has for years been studiously
avoiding newspapers, and seldom per-
mitted his name to appear in print. One
tic of the man.
why do you wish to enter politicS?"
asked a reporter who called upon him.
why should 1 not?" said Guggen-
helm. ''It has always been my ambi-
tion to be lawmaker. am absolutely
independent in fortune, and I can take
position in the United States senate
that man without means might not
dare to take. 1 will do what my con-
poor 1 might be afaid of the conse-
quences."
This sounded good to journalists who
read it and Guggenheim was besieged
by other men of the pen to whom he
talked of the business sacrifice he was
making with perfect candor and frank
ness.
One of these writer's went away and
had circulated throughout the country
a statement that Guggenheim had told
him that he had secured his election
| by the influence of money. A Denver
newspaper man who accompanied the
interviewer to meet Guggenheim de-
nounced the statement attributed to the
candidate as a Misrepresentation of
what he actually said. The Republi-
can majority in the legislature solidi-
| fled more closely than ever to give
Guggenheim it's entire support and the
Denver Press club passed resolutions
denouncing the fake, but the mischief
the garbled interview accomplished was
| extensive.
Has Big Majority
| In the recent election the Republi-
can party in Colorado won by such a
majority that the vote in Guggen-
| helms favor on the senatorship stood
rs to 29. The tremendous majority was
accomplished by the announcement
made during the campaign that If the
Republican party was victorious Simon
Guggenheim would be the next United
States senator.
| one of the strongest arguments used
by the campaigners in favor of the
Guggenheim election was that he was
sacrificing SIS 900 a year In order to
serve his state. The people of Colo
RADIO knew the business connections
which Guggenheim had and the inn
mense income which he derived from
the management of the various COM
panies. The fact that he meant to
give up all these was to them strong
proof that he was really In earnest.
/ Therefore the voters furnished an inn
inense majority in the legislature to
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-23

put him in office. The majority was
so great that the only money Guggen-
helm had to spend to secure his cleo
tion was what he paid out to keep
open his headquarters at one of the
, leading hotels during the first fifteen
days of che session.
In his speech of acceptance he said:
GLADLY do 1 give up commercial
career for the purpose of assuming
the responsibilities of senatorship and
devote myself entirely to the obliga-
tions of the high office. I want to be
judged by my record, which 1 hope
will be such that all the people of our
state may feel that their confidence
has not been misplaced"
Guggenheim's fortune is still so great
that his income will probably be larger
than the most wealthy men in the
United States: To gain an idea of
the actual wealth of the Guggenheim
family, 1t is only necessary to say that
the stock in the Guggenheim Explora-
tion company, which has $25, 100000 cap
ital, is now selling at 1926 "a share,
making the market value of the stock
$S1 000, 900. The American Smelling and
Refining company has $10O,OO0,00O cap
ital stock, half common and half pre-
ferred. The common sells at 150 or
more, making the 50,000,000 actually
worth $75,000,000. The preferred sells
at 115, making the market value $751;
100000. The actual value of 100000, 900
is therefore $132,O0OOOO. The American
Shelters Securities company has SAT-
100000 preferred and $30,000000 common
stock. This stock is not dealt in act
lively, nearly all of it being held by
the Guggenheims and their close asso-
ciates. This makes $300000,000 as the
total value of the stocks in the import
ant companies managed by the Gug-
genheims. Such stock in these COM
panies as is not held by the family
is more than compensated by the hold
ings in other companies, so that the
wealth of the seven brothers may Se
conservatively estimated as being in
the aggregate above the $30O,000,00
mark.
What part of that Simon Guggen-
helm owns can only be conjectured,
but the fact that he has been at the
helm of the chain of smelters in the
west for eighteen years is pretty good
proof that he is not the poorest of the
seven, and his action in discarding an
immense income for the purpose Of
making a name for himself as a law
maker is additional proof that he is
so well supplied with this worlds goods
that he can afford to regard fame as
of immeasurably more value to him
than money.

She seemed listless. Physicians have
testified in the case that Mrs. Cressey

theory. Her mind seems fairly clear on
subjects of interest to her, but occa-

parts of the west, all operated under
one management, which results in such
great economy of operation that the
profits are immense.
Simon Guggenheim was born in Phil
adelphia, and is next to the youngest of
seven sons. Up to the time he was 20
years of age the family was compara-
lively poor. Their fortunes have been
made since Simon came to Colorado In
accepting the election to the United
States senate he said he had resigned
from all his active business connections,
that he might be free to work for the
interests of the state. The positions
which he really gave up are as follows:
Held Many Jobs
President Western Mining company,
Leadville Colo; president Federal Lead
company, Missouri; president United
States Zinc company, Pueblo, Colo.
managing director Guggenheim Ex-
ploration company, New York city;
member executive committee American
Smelters Securities company, New York
city; director United States Zinc COM
pany, Pueblo, Colo; director American
Smelters Steamship company; director
American Shelters Securities company,

mittee American Smelling and Refining

and Refining company, New York city;
director Federal Lead company, Mis-
souri, director United Lead company,
New York city; director Guggenheim
Exploration company, New York city;
director Western Mining company,
Leadville, Colo.
From the fourteen salaries of these
positions he derived a revenue aggre.
eating $4,000 year. He was a tireess
worker and the burden of managing
twenty-five smelters fell largely upon
his shoulders. 1t is probable that fully
o dozen men will be promoted in the
business organization of which he was
head to do the work which he accom-
plished alone.
Men under Guggenheim received
salaries of immense proportions. John
Hayes Hammond, chief mining engineer
for the companies, is regarded as the
greatest expert in his particular calling
in the world and is said to get 100000 a
year. A. Chester Beatty, assistant gen.
eral manager and engineer, is reported
to have salary of $4,000 year. The
Guggenheims, besides being engaged In
the management cf the twenty-five
smelters, are said to be interested in
the Yukon Consolidated Gold Fields
company and the Continental Rubber
company, the former operating IN
Alaska and the latter in the Congo Free
State i'm Africa. Simon Guggenheim is

United States, a large part of the smelt-
