most convenient to the whole northern
part of the state, was Norfolk
The people Of the northern part NJ

method has long been worked upon
this section of the state Northern Ne
braska people have suffered as re-.
suit of this loopholo I'm the law. Relief
was demanded and promised when
Senator Burkett started a bill last
year. It was talked over a few days
ago In Washington and amended by
putting on a number of additional
towns, including ONcill and Atkinson.
But now comes word that with so
many towns on the list, the bill could
not pass because the committee would
consider It unreasonable. Il Is there
fore to be withdrawn and amended,
cutting out all towns in northern Ne
braslia excepting Omaha, Grand Island
and Alliance, which merely makes a
farce of the proposed law because it in
no way gives the needed relief.
North Nebraska would be glad to
have three court points If that were
possible. This whole section would be
glad to have Ainsworth and O'Neil
included in the list But If these two
cities are to be stricken out by the
congressional delegation, then until a
better day, the people of this territory
do demand and righteously that at
least one north Nebraska court point
be left.
The injustice of the proposed amend
ment is apparent when it is known
that Norfolk Is easily accessible to this
section, while Omaha, Grand Island
and Alliance are in distant portions of
the state, And, further. when it is
known that the government has al
ready gone to more than 100000 ex-
pense to fit up building here for this
very purpose.
The people of this part of the state
will unquestionably demand that the
congressional delegation include Nor
folk in the list; and in all fairness the
state legislature ought to pass a reso-
luton also making this demand.

CONGRESSIONAL TERMS.

Perhaps no stronger argument could
be found for change in the law which
allows thirteen months to elapse be-
tween the election of congressman
and taking his seat, than the present
condition of the Nebraska judicial divi-
sion bill.
North Nebraska will suffer gross in
justice if the amended law is intro.

planned, leaving out all north Nebras-
ka cities from the list of federal court
towns. While Congressman Kinkaid
has done everything within his power
to get two or at least one court town

may, in this case, cost northern Ne

Half of the bills introduced In the
Nebraska legislature during the first
six days of it's session are against, the
railroads; fourth of the laws pro
posed In the South Dakota legislature
are against the railroads; pretty much
the same proportion exists in many
states. Much of the so-called reform
which Is being proposed is grandstand
quality. Sincere reform of existing
evils is to be commended and will be
commended by all good citizens. But
there is another brand that always gets
mixed up with the genuine article.
There are fake reformers in every
state There are newspapers In every
state playing to the galleries for the
purpose of detractng attention. and
then delving into the graft game Just
as industriously as any of the much
footed corruptionists. Some of these
so-called reformers, who are always
ready to take ride upon the crest of
any popular wave that comes along,
will bear watching. Their love of the
dear peo.pul is not always the motive
for brass band demonstrations.

tons; nevertheless the state Journal
and its allied evening paper, the Lin.
coin News, early last summer began
deVotlng column upon column Of ed
itorial and news space toward the can
didacy of Norris Brown for the sena.
torial nomination. It was alleged that
in return for this support the attorney
general bungled the suit against that
newspaper company and got it in such
shape that II could not be won. II was
also alleged that Mr. Strode an attor-
ney for lumber dealers in case of
the state against them, was appointed
deputy attorney general
The charges were ugly ones. Chair
man Rose of the republican state cen
trail committee denied them as false
in every particular. Mr.. Brown de-
MED them And Governor Sheldon is
quoted as saying that they amounted
to nothing.
The resolution for an investigation
was tabled. And on the day after
ward the republicans in the legislature
showed their faith in their candidate
and their respect for the convention
which ahd endorsed him, by giving
their undivided support to the man
against whom these charges had been
assailed
Senator Brown gives no line or word
to the incident in his acceptance
speech, which is an act of discretion.
For the allegations were not consid-
cred serious enough by the legislators
who elected him to warrant official
action, and therefore the senatorelect
was fully justified in disregardng the
story ana declining to put more wings
upon it than had already been sprout-
ed.
Norris Brown is no longer the attor.
ney general. That Office with its asso-
Citations has become thing of the
past. It's former occupant has stepped
from its door and, holding the repub-
lican state conventions order for one
brand new toga, he has stepped up to
the department where such robes are
kept and, brushing his way through
the crowd who tugged at his elbow.
has claimed his property.
The republican party of Nebraska
presents Senator Norris Brown with
feeling of responsibility for his Gre
alton and with the sincere hope that
he will reflect credit upon his constitu-
ents and upon our party.

COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATION

There may be compensation even
though Norfolk should lose the federal
court and 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 business mems
organization could do The present
crisis brings home The fact that there
are occasions which demand public ac-
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 a 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
The federal court situation and the
hospital incident bring hone 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 a 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
sive and up-to-date and loyal a set of
business men as reside right here in
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
1t should, or nearly so. The amended
judicial division bill has not yet been
introduced and If proper action were

OUTRAGE TO NORTH NEBRASKA

OUTRAGE TO NORTH NEBRASKA
No greater injustice to half states
population 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

ha and Grand Island are not in north
