Reese. The News believes. further.
more that the selection of a member
/ Of Nobraska's supreme court Is mat
ter that ought not to be influenced by
the selection of this man or that. The
Office is too import to allow a few
once.seekers to fiji It, and 1t is time
for the rank and file of the party to
take the matter into their own hands
The News has no fault to find with
Judge Reese. This paper expects to
support whichever one of these two
Judges shall be chosen by republicans
of Nebraska as their standard bearer
But this paper has failed to find in all
of this pre-primary campaign the
slightest possible reason why Justice
Sedgwick should at this time be
turned out Of office.
1t has been said that certain Office
seekers have thought that they might
be benefited by the nomination and
election of Judge Reese, and that in
this personal ambition there was furn-
ished the motive for putting forth a
candidate to oppose Judge Sedgwick
and to try to force the present justice
out of Office. Judge Sedgwick has
preserved during all Of this campaign
the calm dignity that belongs to his
office, and no utterance as to the NOM
nation has come from him. His
friends and admirers from over the
state filed a petition calling upon him
to make the race, confident that his
past excellent service to the party and
state at large will be rewarded by the
honor of a denomination.
1t Is not enough that a few office
seekers, through selfish hopes that
they might be benefited by appoint
ments in case they succeeded in de
posing the present chief justice, should
attempt to make this nomination for
the republicans of Nebraska. 1t is
not enough that one ofIice-seeker, now
Boosting that he created two United
States senators in Nebraska, should
attempt to depose the present chief
justice in order that his boasts might
be carried still farther in the claim
that he created a supreme judge, as
well. The big question before the re-
publicans of Nebraska is the fitness OF
candidates for the offices which their
friends seek for them, and no good rea
son has been presented in this cam
paign for turning out of Office a jurist
so eminently qualified to fill a place
on the supreme bench as CHIEF
Justice Samuel H. Sedgwick.
Judge Sedgwick ought, by all that
is fair and consistent 10 be renomin
ated next Tuesday.

THE BANCROFT LYNCHING.

Mob violence is deplorable from any
viewpoint. Little glory rebounds to
a community from a lynching. But
back of a lynching it is sometimes an
easy matter to lay all or most Of the
blame for the mob violence upon the
failure of the law to properly punish
for crime.
1t is deplorable that a mob Of
masked men should take Murderer
Higgins from the sheriffs and hang
him to a bridge. 1t was more deplor-
able that Higgins should have slain
two Thurston county citizens. And
most deplorable of all is the condition
of Indifference to murder which has
recently swept over the country, and
whose effect has been to turn loose
altogether too many man who should
have suffered the laws penalty for his
misdeed.
Frank Brink of Ponca must accept
great share of the responsibility for
should have been hanged in a legal
manner. His crime was appalling.
But he paid two penalties for his
crime-the one with his life, the other
with mob execution. This mob fea-
ture Of Higgins punishment was add
ed to this mans career to even up for
the lack Of any punishment melted out
to Brink. The lost confidence in the
laws justice and infallibility, charge
able to the Brink trial-farce at Ponca,
spurred on the mob at Bancroft to
take no chances in the case of Hig-
gins.
At the time Brink, who murdered
Bessie Newton at Ponca, was acquit-
ted on the "brainstorm" plea and was
sent to the state insane hospital as a
part of the farce, despite the fact that
he never showed the slightest sign of
insanity, The News pointed out that
it was just such disregard Of the law
as this that led to mob violence. And
the forecast has proved, in the Hig,
gins case, to have been only too true.
There has lately been too much dis.
regard for the wanton taking Of human
life. Murder has run riot to such an
extent that society must at last rise
up and protest with force. The law
has become altogether too lax in treat.

LOOK INTO PAPER TRUST.

The public at large, because the pub
lie at large always pays the freight
In the end, will hope that report
from Washington Is true in declaring
that sharp eye is being kept on the
new paper merger. The department
of justice is said to be watching the
combine with eagerness and an inves-
tigation is promised, even though only
to establish the legality Of the COM
bination.
It is said that Washington officials
are surprised at the boldness dis
played by the paper people and there
may yet be some ray Of hope for news
papers and their readers that the
threat of the old paper trust to cause
regret over former agitation by the
public press with regard to the com
bine, will not find itself able to be
carried into execution.
1t is said that Attorney General
Bonaparte will soon take up the Ques
ton and 1t will be sincerely hoped that
a thorough search for illegalities will
be made.
For some years the entire country
has been scratching its head In vair
effort to seek out some effective meth
cd by which to prevent just such trusts
as this paper combine. Perhaps the
successful preventive and the airshiI
will come together.

TO HELP BUILD UP THE TOWN

10 HELP BUILD UP The TOWN.
In many cities clubs are being form
ed for launching campaigns to in
crease population Of those cities.
Spokane, for instance, has 100000
club" Los Angeles has a 100000
club" and Long Beach, Cal, has a
100000 club" Norfolk might reason
ably organize 5000 club" or "1O,-
600 club" If it chose, and persistently
go after such goal before the federal
census Of 1910. The first step in this
direction, Of course, would be to ex-
pand the city limits to their proper
places, so that all citizens living prac-
tically in Norfolk today but technically
outside, could be counted. And the
next move that could be adopted
might be an organized effort toward
buying Norfolk products wherever
Norfolk products are available. Such
movements are being carried on in
other places with good effect. Omaha
is after 100000 people with such a
basis as this for its growth. Norfolk
today has a number of manufacturing
industries producing articles which
are used daily by the general public.
If everybody in Norfolk would make
pledge to buy Norfolk goods wher-
ever possible, the number of people
employed in Norfolk plants would be
materially increased, and the city's
growth would take on new impetus
Such campaign is just now being
waged in Spokane. Concerning the
movement there, Spokane paper of
recent date has this to say:
Letters were mailed yesterday to
Spokane housewives urging them to
purchase none but Spokane-made
goods where such are obtainable. This
was the opening gun of the "home
industry campaign" of the 10000
club, which will be waged ceaselessly
from this time forth, $3.50 a month
having been subscribed to this move
ment for the ensuing year. Signs
bearing the legend money Spent al
Home Means Prosperity" and urging
that the public insist upon the made
in Spokane" label adjoining all pur
chases, are being placed in all street
cars and painted on bill boards
throughout the city. The following
letter will be sent to every residence
In Spokane:
Dear Madam: During the B. Y. P
U. convention windows on the princi
pal business streets of Spokane con

resources of Spokane, accompanied by
a big card bearing this inscriptions:

be overlooked and that depends upon
the housewives. You can help make
Spokane grow if you scrupuously OBJ
serve your duty when making a pur

goods when such are obtainable. You
will readily grant that, everything else
being equal, you should patronize the

Much has been made Of the "unwrlt.

locked up in the drawer. Perhaps
such jolting as this Bancroft affair
may tend to bring the law to its

NINTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

Republicans of the Ninth judicial
district of Nebraska are particularly
fortunate in having as their represent
alive on the bench at the present time
n iurist who has given such eminent
satisfaction to both bar and public,
regardless of party Affiliations, that In
all of this district not one word is
heard against him, either for nomin-
alton in his own party or for election
Mt the November polls.
Judge A. A. Welch of Wayne was
appointed last spring by Governor
Sheldon to FIJI the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Judge Boyd, who
resigned to take his seat In congress,
And such excellent satisfaction has
he given on the bench that his election
to a regular term has been demanded
by all. Seldom is such unanimity OF
approval expressed for any man.
Judge Welch must be nominated as
Judge for the regular term beginning
in election and the first of the year
There are two blank spaces on the
primary republican ballot in which tc
vote for him.
1t is hoped that republicans of the
Ninth district will make 1t point tc
go to the primary to vote for Judge
Welch, and thus, by mighty vote
roll up the compliment which the
party owes him for his excellent ser
vice.

nomination.
w. H. Field, having served the coun
ty well as clerk of the district court
