For LAW AND ORDER.

Some day this country is going to
lishment of a republican form OF
government brought in the millennium,
and take measures for the direction
of human beings as they are today.
And then two of the simplest and most
necessary rules will be rightly applied
and enforced. Until then, we must ex-
pect to suffer continual outbreaks
from beasts in human form, and to
be more or less at the mercy of the
thug and the assassin.
The first step is the rigid prohibi
ton of all meetings and publications
that advocate the overthrow Of gov
ernment or the resort to violence In
any form for the redress of griev
ances. This is fundamental; it is the
first remove from the condition o1
chaos out of which society emerged
Yet because we have been blinded by
the brilliance Of those words free
dom of speech and of the press" We
have failed to realize that there car

is allowed to any one. Excep

times, we permit public assemblage'

HUNT THEM DOWN.

There Is absolute public sympathy
with the authorities that are following
Emma Goldman through the country
preventing her from making public
| speeches and preparing to punish her
for violation of the law. There is
universal approval of the course OF
President Roosevelt in denying to an
anarchistic publication the use of the
mails and in calling attention of the
local authorities of the city where 1t is
published to the infamy of permitting
its distribution.
These wretches should and must be
| followed to the end without hesitation
and without mercy. When a mad dog
runs foaming at the mouth through the
streets of city or village, we do not
wait to swear out warrant. We
shoot 1t down at sight. We may not
take the same measures against these
equally dangerous enemies of all hui
manity, but we may and should shut
them up where their bloody harangues
will do no further mischief among
weak or disordered minds.
President Roosevelt is exactly right
in saying that these creatures are far
worse than ordinary murderers. For
the latter at least have courage and
take their risks. These brutes merely
incite passion and persuade others to
use the knife, the pistol and the bomb,
that they themselves may save their
own skins whole and be ready to con.
tinue their crusade against society.
The crimes committed under shelter
Of the name of freedom of speech and
of the press already equal those of the
worst days of the tyranny of mon
archs. 1t is time to put an end to
them.
1t is perfectly easy to draw the line.
The moment that any man or woman,
from the platform or through the
press, counsels violence, either direct
ly or in yelled terms, that moment the
prison doors should open. This is a
crime. We live under a government
of law. That law provides remedy
for grievances. The crime of the
anarchist is against the life of the
government itself and the life of so.
ciety. We have been foolishly lax,
criminally lenient. 1t is time to hunt
down the anarchists and to put an end
to the propaganda of crime. Let every
city and state look to it.

TAFT's STRENGTH GROWING.

The events of every day make clear
er the growing strength of Secretary
Taft and the certainty of his nomina-
ton. One test will disclose this. The
country thinks with equanimity of the
probable defeat of every other candi-
date mentioned for the presidency.
Just suppose for one moment that the
country could be made to believe to-
morrow morning that Taft would be
beaten. 1t would be in chaos and
uproar The people who believe in
carried so far and which he has prom
ised to perfect would not know where
they stood. They would feel certain
that in the confusion, in the struggle
of factions and individuals, the great
interests which have done such evil
work in this nation would have their
way. They would believe, as they now
believe, that no other man either
could or would carry the work of
reform to completion, and that the
country was doomed to fall back into
more wretched and ominous place
than that which it occupied before the
restoration of right ideas and of JUS
tice to all began. Woe to the repub
lie when the people are convinced that
such a situation exists.
But they have no such feeling now
There is buoyancy hopefulness, q
certain conviction everywhere thai
we are on the way to greater and bet
ter things. The people are serene
because they know that wisdom ant
justice are to guide them. This is the
secret of the calmness with which they
viewed the financial distress of few
months ago. 1t touched them. Mos
of them suffered from it in some way
They had it in their power, by remon
STRANGE, by losing their heads, to throw
the whole country into panic ant
ruin. They did not. They bore thei
burdens quietly, they submitted to in
convenience and loss, they awaited
the issue with confidence, becaus
they trusted in the hand and brail
that guided them. They are equal,
serene today because they feel tina
Taft's nomination is assured, and tha
their interests are safe in his hands
This is better than the most spectac
ular campaign work could accomplish
1t alone would make the nomination o
Mr.. Taft a certainty.

Senator VIM. Pinckney Whyte of
Maryland who died at Baltimore last
week, was seventy-four years of age
and had been in public life since 1S47.
He filled many important positions,
being governor of his state from 1871
to 1874 and was elected senator in
1875. He was democrat in politics
and belonged to the "old school" of
public men. Although strong parti-
san, he was a courteous gentleman of
the highest sense of honor and served
his country well.

THE REAL ISSUE.

"A progressive, yet safe, admins.
tration." is the keynot of the platform
upon which ]. d. Sturgeon stands in
his candidacy for mayor. Mr.. Stur-
geon believes in the broad gauge pol
icy of placing the city where its loca-
ton on the map rightly entities it to
stand-the leading city in the north
Platte country. When the men who
originally surveyed a townsite here,
when the railroads ran into the town
from various directions, when men
came here to help develop city, all
could foresee that in the course of
years Norfolk would be the logical
center of country vast in extent and
resources. Norfolk has made strides
toward fulfilling the destiny intended
for her by nature, but the time has
now come when the town must take
on more metropolitan air and main
tain the position to which our location
and opportunities entitle us.
If Mr.. Sturgeon is elected mayor
of Norfolk, while he will stand for
progress and achievement, there will
be nothing spectacular nor revolution
airy in his administration. He will not
expect TO accomplish all that must be
done during the period of his admin
istratiOn, he will not expect to spend
money that there is no way of repay.
| ing, but will be content to make a
start toward a new order of things
And that start will be primarily to
pave the business district of the city
The nAst essential issue before the
people of this city today is the paving
of Norfolk avenue.
Norfolk is waking to its real needs
The people during the past few years
have demonstrated this in various
ways. But there can be no question
in the mind of any thoughtful citizen
who observes and understands the sit
uation that the pre-eminent need at
this time is placing Norfolk avenue
in as good condition as the streets OF
many towns smaller than NorfolB
where a way has been found to pave
the public highways.
The sentiment in favor of doing
this is overwhelming. There are two
things above everything else of a pub
lie nature that are a true index Of the
real civilization and character Of any
community. These are good schools
and good roads. The first NorfoH
has and they are the pride of the city
But the roads-well they are pitiably
lacking.

any time of the year when it is muddy,
is a disgrace to a city whose people
lay claim to any degree of intelligence
and energy. 1t is the sore spot of the
community. What is worse, this is
apparent to everybody. Every strang-
er notices it and wonders. He does
not wonder so much that it Is what
it is, as he does that 1t is allowed to
remain in such condition.
There is every reason that it should
be paved and paved quickly. The
question of increased taxation does
not hold valid for moment. For
every dollar expended, there will be
a better return from the narrowest
possible point of view than any other
investment which can be made; from
the broader standpoint of the public
good it will mean more comfort to
every man, woman and child who
lives in the city than any other one
thing which can now be done and as
The achievements and conditions Of
Norfolk it will add to the statue Of
each mans citizenship.
Pave Norfolk avenue and in the
very act great stride has been taken
toward that larger and better and
more beautiful Norfolk, aud every
stranger, every travelling man, who
passes through the city will notice It;
he will go out through the other towns
Of Nebraska and the adjoining com
monwealth and tell about it; his com
ment will be an advertisement OF the
fact that this city has wakened up to
its possibilities and begun those i'm
provements which are placing it in
the front rank of the go-ahead and up
to date communities of the state.
Until this is done all our claims to
being progressive count for little. It's
present condition is nothing but a
humiliation and a shame to everyone
who has an iota of appreciation of the
comfort, the convience, the beauty Of
the city. The people are eager to see
this improvement made. Common
sense and every business reason that
can be adduced demand that it be
done.
There are several things that need
to be pushed to the interest of the pub
lie veal in order that Norfolk may
take that place which destiny has pur-
posed the city should occupy and The
News is in favor of them all, But
first and foremost pave Norfolk av-
enue. The rest will follow.

Clyde Fenimore Burns, associate
editor of the Railway Review, in a

Railroads Abandon Steam?" answers
it affirmatively in the long run. He
says THE present operating cost for
the movement of every car and en-
gine in the country is $1,400,000, 900
in one year. BY electrification this
would be reduced by about $250,000,-
900 representing that much actual saw

is to sell it to merchant, provided
the railroad pays the same price as
the merchant. Railroads want results
from their advertising and to reach
naturally patronize the medium which
covers the widest scope of country
and has the largest circulation of any
paper in the Third district. And that
is not the Fremont Tribune. Hence
the rub. The News is being paid in
cash for all railroad advertising it is
doing-not in mileage" that medium
of exchange for which the reformer-
for-revenue, ffice-andemolument edi-
tor of the Tribune contended so siren
uously at the time the new railroad
law was under consideration.
When the source of the above sneer
is considered, coming from an editor
who until a few years ago was an
abject railroad tool who only became
a reformer when little railroad print
ing was taken from him and sent to
Chicago, the situation is seen to be
ridiculous. The editor of The News
has at least been consistent in his
career. He has never occupied the
position of subserviency to railroad
interests-he has always believed as
he does today that the railroads are
factor in the upbuilding of new
country and they should be given an
equal chance with every other interest
to develop their property and make it
earn a fair, equitable profit on actual
investment. He would not cripple
| them, nor would he allow them to
dictate the policies of government as
they used to do when Hammond and
others of his ilk were helping them.
This is the position The News oc-
cupied fifteen years ago, ten years ago
and still occupies. Give the railroads
a square deal and give the people a
square deal as well. Be fair.
The editor Of The News has never
asked but one political position,
and he has today the endorsement OF
the Third congressional district to
help carry the vote of Nebraska to
Mr.. Taft. He was never a candidate
for public Office in this district and
as such candidate repudiated by the
people by one of the largest majorities
ever recorded against the republican
ticket; he has never attempted to ride
a popular wave into fat job; he has
gresham whom he did all he could
to defeat, and then suddenly when a
luscious bone was thrown to him, in
stalled himself as the self-constituted
manager of that congressmans cam
paign at the next election. Talk
about political influence that is
bought, forsooth!
That the editor of The News was
not the choice of the pooh-bah of
Fremont was manifest at the Norfolk
convention, when the aforesaid p b.
rushed to the scene at a late hour and
in conjunction with that other re,
former, w. H. Harrison, attempted to
bring about the defeat of The News

effort and what his influence amount
ed to, even at home, became pitiably
apparent when the solid vote OF

seems we must wigge along someway
