WANT PEOPLES OPINION
COMMERCIAL CLUB WANTS TO
KNOW WHAT WE WANT.
APPEALS FOR MORE MEMBERS


Club Are Needed For the Carrying
on Of Investigations Into Good
Things For Norfolk.
Norfolk, Neb., March 14-To the
People OF Norfolk: The directors OF
the Commercial club are making an
effort to develop for the benefit of Nor
folk all the good things that come
before them. We believe we are get
ting nicely started but would appre-
ciate little more active interest on
the part of our citizens in these pro-
jects and their advice from time to
time as to their feasibility.
One subject we have up now Is the
the Elkhorn river; this we all know
has been exploited to some extent by
several of our citizens at different
times, generally with favorable results
on paper, though the work was only
done in an experimental and wholly
preliminary manner and not by engi-
neers. One of these estimates gives
a possible 500 horse power at Thir-
teen tn street with three miles OF
canal and a low wing dam including
an aggregate expenditure of $4,000.
Mr.. Orchard made some estimates on
canal from the Yellow Banks along
the bluffs to the west side of the city,
being probably an expensive PROPOSE
Il; n civ
his figures in this matter.
Our idea is to have civil engineer
make a survey of the Thirteenth
street proposition so that we can have
accurate figures to go on together
with advice from an expert, familiar
with the professional and mechanical
features involved from a practical
standpoint This would cost 500
possibly 5000. Shall we do 1t?
Let us know what you think about
it and also we ask YOU to help in
crease our membership. Columbus
has $50 members. We Should do bet
ter than Columbus. Every man in
Norfolk should have at leasts one

body who is earning livelihood Mere
whether from Offices stores wagons,
shops or anything else) would take
some of these shares, we wosid then
have enough money for all incdentaEs
and projects like the proposed survey
or the coming teachers association
in April, without begging the street
from time to time. Then, as matter
of fact, it is hardly fair distribution
OF the responsibility of furthering the
interests OF the city to ask directors
to- socilit 8Uads for these special DC!
casions when they give practically az
half day every week to the general
welfare, besides many little and sons
big bits. of time to current matters.
What do YOU think about ten-day
chautallqua beginning July 81 with
two entertainments daily, our part be-
ing to guarantee the sale OF 500 tickets
at 81 each. receiving one-haif of ex-
cess receipts above $4,000? wayne
and Albipn had this same thing last
year and carnied 1T off successfully.
At Albion the receipts were $500.
They had one special train that
brought 900 people.
Respectfully,

 Suitable reservoirs built al and near he headwaters of all the navipable streams will store up the superhous waters that pour down from moun- tains and hill-tops into the valleys carrying destruction to the end of their course to The sea. In the late summer their waters diminish and with the sand and silt, deposited by the flood at the bottom of the rivers, navigation Is more or less impeded or interrupted for months, even for the shallow boats that can only be used on account of the shal- iowness of the rivers during part of The season. Worse than the interrup- lion Of navigation is the loss entailed by the necessity of using shallow boats. With deeper boats twice the amount of freight could he carried al little addi- uonai expense, and the bulk of the heavy freight could be carried at redu- ced rates. which would benefit the con. sumner as well as the producer-and that means the entire population.

To Prevent Corrupt Practices.

'.The Good Citizenship League of Connecticut, the President of which is Dr. Edward W. Goodenough of Wa terbury, has it's headquarters at Mans field Center, is engaged in good eao.e and we gladly comply with it's request to print the following circular.
 "Ours k splendid State politically. and k constantly growing better. Tae situation as to corrupt influencing of voters cannot be said to be really bad. but yet there |, in one way and anoth- CT, great deal of such influencing. It would seem that only by the irony of fate could this be true. Cur fathers were ready to sacrifice all that was dear for that which was dearest-the prir. ilege of voting and of voting according to conscience and judgment. But some unworthy sons of worthy sires have So little of conscience or of judgment that they barter their priceless birthright for pitiable mess of pottage offered by a selfseeking demagogue 10 whom the term "politician can be applied only by besmirching that noble term. Inas far as the naturalized voter and the one of foreign descent is guilty of Venality, either actively or passively, he lends himself to that which most surely tends to degrade his adopted country below the level of that from which he has thought it worth while to come. Be low for of all forms of government | boss-ridden Democracy would be the lowest.
 Ne have enough law against eorruR practices, and undoubtedly the law does much to prevent trespassing y the very fact of it's standing on our s,a- ute book like a big ugly-looking bull dog on a lawn. Moreover our watch dog has teeth and shows them. BaE the fact is that he needs, on occasion, something to sic i'm on. For many reasons it is hard for the average rer
  dent of a community to do the siekins- on act. We do not wish to put pc mium on lack of community initiative s but rather to encourage it. To aprss to mercenary motives for law enioff- ment Is furthest from our wish, but st are willing to guarantee that at les' the possible cost of getting eyidens will be met. Hence the following.
 In every town in the State having population of 5,000 or less, the usa Citizenship League of Conneelienl sla pay the sum of S75 to the person ia' nishing evidence which shall Iesua the first conviction in any such 1osa' of a person guilty of corrupt pfaeaas in connection with the nosninaliea election of any member of the tiehs'A
