THE PROPOSED EXCURSION,

The excursion of Norfolk business
men up the Dallas line of the North.
western, plans for which have taken
definite shape, will be one Of the
best things Norfolk business men have
done for years.
Such trip into $50 miles of trib.
utary territory would open the eyes
of many Norfolk business men as to
the wealth of the country which lies
right at Norfolk's door and which
ought to be taken advantage of by
this city for wholesaling and manu-.
featuring distribution.
The country north to Dallas is de-
veloping today faster than any other
region in the United States. 1t is all
tributary to Norfolk, if Norfolk will
take advantage of the opportunity.
Norfolk is located ideally for a dis.
tribution point to five different direc'
tons. Only organized effort will de-
velop the city's possibilities along that
line. And this trip would help some
by demonstrating to the business men
of Norfolk what is available to the
north as a field of operation.
1t would bring about more cordial
feeling between Norfolk and her north.
ern neighbors. Incidentally, the trip
would bring the business men who
went on the excursion, closer to-
gether.
Norfolk business men are today in
greater harmony than they have been
for years. All that is needed now is
somebody to start things for Nor
folks development. And this excur
sion is a good thing to begin with.

OUR NEW SERIAL STORY.

1t has been the privilege and pleas.
ure of The News to present many ex.
ceedingly high quality serial stories,
many of them by very noted authors,
to it's readers. None has ever yet
been published in this paper, however,
of greater merit or of greater human
interest than that which begins in
this issue, "The Port of Missing
Men," by Meredith Nicholson.
This story, in book form, remained
one of the best sellers in the country
from December Z, 1906, until Septem.
Der, 1907. 1t was first on the list in
February, March and April, 1907
1t is easy to account for the popu.
larity of The Port of Missing Men,
when you read it. A story of intrigue
which might have been taken from
the pages of medieval history, it be.
comes glowing romance when brought
down to the present-the kind of
romance which causes the reader to
burn midnight oil. With the
scene transferred to America, the in
terest is greatly increased for
Americans.
The fascination of mystery holds
the reader as he is swept from one
thrilling incident to another. Who was
John Armitage, the hero? What was
he? Why was his life so persistently
sought? These questions arouse the
keenest interest and deepen into a
problem which battles the reader until
its solution is reached in the end.
Pursued by his enemies, suspected
and treated with cruel injustice by
his social and professional equals
there is one who believes in Armitage
Shirley Claiborne, the superb woman
Great is the readers delight to find
her twice saving his life.
So in this story of intricate plot
dramatically unfolded, this old world
romance in a new world setting we
have the old and ever new story OF
love, love which makes the world &C
round.

Every year the business and indus

is smaller chance for success for the

PIERCE COUNTY CUSTOM.

Pierce, Neb, Aug. 6.-Special The
article in The Norfolk News of today
saying that the Republicans of Pierce
county will yield to the wishes of the
Republicans of Stanton county and
the majority of them vote for R. Y.
Appleby for state senator, is a state
ment without any foundation.
The friends of Senator Randall have
issued the following statement: Both
Appleby and Senator Randall, of New
man Grove, are good men. Randall
has the advantage of being in the
senate one term He has made an
excellent record. In county affairs it
has always been the practice in Pierce
county to give an official who has
made a good record a second term and
it isn't unreasonable to suppose that
the Republicans of Pierce county will
take the same view when they come
to vote for the Office of state senator.
Mr.. Randall has many friends in
Pierce county who know his record in
the state senate and they are doing
some missionary work for him.
Sioux City Journal.
The News believes that the Repub-
licans of Pierce county, as a whole,
are done an injustice in the above
statement" issued by few partisan
friends or friend of Senator Randall
at Pierce and published in the Sioux
City Journal.
The News has no objection to a
statement being issued by friends or
friend of Senator Randall setting forth
the senator's reason for presuming
that he may hopefully ask for more
senatorial honors than have ever be.

HOUSES BACK FROM STREET.

Norfolk needs an ordinance requir-
ing that residences shall be built a
reasonable distance back from the
street sidewalk. Such an ordinance
is needed in order to maintain the
beauty of the residence district. In
most cities such an ordinance exists.
An even, uniform residence street can
not be maintained without such re-
quirement. And it is decidedly to
the interest of the community that
the beauty of straight lines of resi-
dences along given thoroughfare
should be maintained
1t is altogether wrong that one
house, built near the edge of the side
walk, should be allowed to break
the evenness of the line of residences
and destroy all of the effect of untold
effort expended by way of time and
money and hard work to accomplish
something in the way of an attractive
community.
property owners VINO voluntarily
build their homes in even alignment
along a street in an effort to beautify
the street, have rights in the protec-
ton of their alignment. And where
those rights are disregarded by the
Indifferent individual, at times through
pure malice, the city should step in
and extend the deserved protection.
1t is unfortunate for Norfolk at
large that such an ordinance has not
been on the city books for some time.
Enough in the way Of an object les
son has been had now, however, to
suggest the enactment of such an Or

cial ills, but at this time they are
getting from two to four times as
much for their products as they were
then. Having been spared the dis.
aster which Bryan's prescription
would have brought upon them then,
they are now too well satisfied with
their present prosperity to pay him
for a second prescription.
