siding on South Jackson street was
walking down Main street Monday
night in front Of Rogers saloon, yell
ing with election enthusiasm someone

Great Demonstration is Given in Honor
OF BRYAN.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.-The greatest
demonstration in the history Of Lin
colin, was given TO ryBan by his fell
low townsmen tonight on his return
to his home city at the close of his
campaign. 1t was of non-partisan
character participated in by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike and the
Democratic candidate was driven
through the streets, cheered by al
most the entire population of the
city. The reception was rendered him
as a citizen of Lincoln rather than
as a candidate and in his speech he
avoided all references to party issues.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was greeted with
vociferous cheers. The candidate was
moved to tears as he made Affection
ate references to Ids wife and when
ne closed the demonstration accord
cd him was such as he rarely had ex-
perienced in his three campaigns.

Mayfield Travelling Man Meets Death

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. THAT it
was thrown aboard the train by those
responsible for the mans death is the
only solution that can be offered in
connection with the finding of the
body of Lee Marshall, travelling sales
man of Mayfield, KY, in an empty
coal car attached to an Illinois Cen
trail train near here to-day. Death re-
suited from two bullet wounds, and
when found by the train crew the
body was still warm. No weapon was
found which could indicate suicide.
The police so far have been unable to
ascertain by whom the man was
killed.

Camp Memo, Reelfoot Lake, Tenn,
Oct. 3O-"We know who fired the shot
and who put the rope around Rankins
neck" said Gov. Patterson in a state
ment this afternoon just before his
departure for Union COty, where a
special grand jury is investigating
the night rider depredations in this
section which eliminated recently in
the murder of Capt. Quentin Rankin.
The Cover in his statement said:
1.-THE proof which has thus far de-
veloped is positive, as to the guilt OF
some of the men under arrest and i'm
plicates many Others This will all be
presented to the court at the pro-
per time and long step has been
taken to discover and suppress law
Iessness in this region. Conditions
have been extremely bad, the night
riders going from one lawless act
to another until the elimination came
with the murder of Capt. Rankin and
the attempted murder of Col Taylor.
We know who fired the shot and who
put the rope around Rankin's neck.
THE number of men actually at
the killing was probably NOT more
than ten, while some stood guard ond
others held the horses. The whole mum
Der engaged in the undertaking did not
exceed thirty-five. The inquiry will b
further prosecuted and the State will

AN IMPRACTICABLE PROJECT.

The revived talk about making a
new state out of the northern portions
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
shows how wise were those old franz
ers of the constitution, who seem to
have provided against all the follies
that they could have been expected to
foresee. They at least made this i'm
practicable; since no new state can
be formed out of existing states or
parts of states without the consent Of
all the states concerned as well as Of
congress. AS the consent Of the states
concerned in this instance cannot be
obtained, the scheme can end in moth
ing but talk, and is a waste of ener-
gies that might be better employed.
1t is fortunate that this is so; since
the plan, if it could be carried through,
would ultimately react with most force
on the communities that now propose
it. These are the lake cities of the
three states and the inhabitants and
owners of the mining districts. The
cities are troubled by a lot of problems
such as grain inspection laws and rail
road laws which are different in the
several states but all have to be APP
remedy for that, of course is such
an agreement in the laws as rational
people ought to be able to bring about
without any great trouble. But the
real incentive is that the taxation laid
upon the mines brings in a handsome
revenue; and the people of those sec,
tions think it would be good thing
to keep that themselves instead of
having it go to the support Of the
whole state.
If they were to look a little way
ahead they would see the folly of this
1t is as certain as any future event
can be that the iron supplies of the
Lake region will be exhausted in from
forty to fifty years. These are not
veins of metal, extending to unknown
depths as in Pennsylvania and Ohio
but surface deposits, mined from open
pits and of ascertained extent. They
will be gone in just so long, at the
present rate of consumption. After
that has happened this new state, if
it existed, would be shorn of power
and Importance and shrink like Ne
vada. OF course it would have a big
commerce, but that is about all. The
idea of such a state is unwise, and
fortunately wholly impracticable.

A new idea in the line Of effort to
suppress the carrying of deadly wea-
pons has been advanced by member
Of the city council Of Cleveland, Ohio.
He has introduced an ordinance pro-
hibiting the display of revolves, MUIR
derous looking knives and other wea-
pons in store windows or conspicuous
places on the ground that this would
have a tendency to check the desire
to purchase and carry. such weapons.
There Is no doubt that untold numbers
Of crimes arise from carrying con-
cealed weapons which might never be
committed if the instrument of death
were not ready to the hand. If the
weapon could be eliminated the grand
jury would have less to do.

1t seems a pity that the custom of
financing presidential candidates like
public service corporations or promis-

country. 1t was not so in the early

prices we pay for increased national
wealth and the progress or Industrial
civilization. Since Mark Hanna took

THE CITY's OFFICIAL PAPER.

In selecting The Daily News as
the official paper for the city of Nor
folk, the council has paid a compli-
ment to this newspaper which is APP
preciated and has performed a public
service to which the people of Norfolk
are entitled.
Official papers are created for the
purpose of carrying to the public and
to the taxpayers reports of the pro
ceedings and the action OF the official
bodies elected by the people to do the
public work. 1t is of prime import
ance that the official paper should be
paper that reaches the greatest
number of people interested in the
official proceedings. 1t is the plain
duty of the city council to buy with
the city money the best possible SER
vice that can be had for the public
at large.
In making The Daily News the Of
fetal paper for Norfolk the city coun-
ell has performed its conscientious
duty and its plain duty in many re-
spects. In the first place it is con-
ceded by all that there is only one
newspaper in Norfolk which reaches
the Norfolk public at large. 1t is
further conceded that The News, with
nine carrier boys to serve its city
subscribers, reaches practically every
home in Norfolk. Therefore in select

WHAT WILL HE DO I?

There is nothing in this world which
is so Accordingly interesting as the
biographical element in human life.
1t is not unwholesome, that looking
toward the future the people should
be intensely interested in what Mr..
Roosevelt will do when he becomes
an eX-president. There are some rea-
sons why this should have more than
case. He will be the youngest man
that the country has ever had who,
after having served seven years, as
the chief executive of the nation,
leaves the white house to take his
place in the ranks of the people once
more as a private citizen. For next
just fifty years of age. Not only is
he in the prime of life, but he has a
physical constitution that is most mar
velous in it's power and excellence, a
personality which is the most pro-
nounced of any man in public life on
this continent, a record of great
achievements, and with these very
comfortable fortune.
Added to all this, in some respects
Mr.. Roosevelt has been particularly
near to the people. He is man in
terested in all sides of life and be-
cause he has shown this interest in
a thousand different ways he has be-
come acquainted with the people and
he with them to an extraordinary de-
gree. He has been such a combina-
| ton of the scholar and the rough
rider the man of affairs and the liter
ateur of high ideals and intense prac-
| ticality. Interested in a most siren
uOus manner equally over the regula-
| ton of great business interests, so
| that the giants might not take up the
whole sidewalk to the exclusion of
the many who only asked their share
in the commencement at Harvard; in
a baseball game at Princeton; or in
bear hunt in Louisiana. These
things have made him, by his broad
humanity, the most interesting char
acter in public affairs that America
has seen in this generation.
The interest of the people in his
future is altogether and wholly very
kindly one. There is little doubt that
he will go abroad for a season be-
fore he takes up any further serious
work He may take trip as a sight
seer and visitor, but is far more prob
able that he will take his guns and
his dogs and few friends along with
him and seek the recesses of South
Africa or some other unknown and
new country in search of big game.
Such trip would satisfy his restless
spirit of adventure.
Moreover, there are several other
reasons why the president is quite
likely to take a rest following his
withdrawal from the white house.
The indications all point to the nom
ination and election of William H.
Taft as his successor Should Mr.
Roosevelt remain in Washington, or
close to it, he would be under the
charge of dominating the Taft admin
istration. This would be embarrass-
ing both to him and to the man he
so highly regards. Mr. Roosevelt is
reported to have said few days ago,
IF William Taft is nominated and
elected president, which would be
very gratifying, it would make i'm
possible any criticism II were abroad
to the effect that / was debating TO
