NORFOLK DRIVING CLUB
OFFICERS ELECTED AT WEpNEs.
DAY EVENING MEETING.
a NEW PACE FOR RACE MEETS

Same Efficient Officers Who Made the
Norfolk Meeting a Success Last Year
VIII Have Charge Again This Year.
Future 10 Rosy.
9. H. Groesbeck, president.
John Friday, vice president.
=. M. Barrett, secretary.
J. e. Haase, treasurer.
Some of the enthusiasm generated
at last years big race meet and base
ball carnival in Norfolk was in evil
dence at the annual meeting of the
Norfolk Driving club held Wednesday
evening In Eagle hall.
Charlie Groesbeck, who helped Nor.
folk score ten strike with last years
success, will continue as president of
the club. =. NJ. Barrett was re-electe
secretary. j. e. Haase is treasurer
again and John Friday yice.presdent
for the coming year.
President Groesbeck and Secretary
Barrett will represent Norfolk at the
annual meeting of the north Ne
braska race circuit at the Oxnard hotel
In Norfolk next Monday afternoon.
The Norfolk races will be better
than ever next summer. 1t Is expect
ed for one thing that the sizes of the
purses will be increased.
Some new ideas will be introduced
in the racing week plans for next sum
mer. Something different from the
old time street carnival was proposed
at the meeting Wednesday evening
and some popular invocations will pro-
badly be introduced. OF course there
will be the races and Of course there
will be the base ball carnival.
Last year Norfolk set a new pace
for racing meets. The attendance at
the Norfolk races was not equalled in
north Nebraska. And the base ball
games won the hearts of the fans.
That's why the Norfolk racing future
is rosy.

Bryan Speaks Briefly.
Mr., Bryan spoke briefly He said
that while many differ as to the para.

that all could agree upon. 1t is:
Shall the government be run for the
people, by the people. not by the few,
for the few"
"The few are interested" he con.
tinued, Gin denying labor its just re,
ward" He told how the tariff has
worked to the injury of many and the
benefit of the few, and how important
the railroad question Is to all. Yet he
could not agree that any one problem
mentioned was more important than
that the people shall have full control
of the government and that laws shall
be made for the people as a whole
When that is done all Of the other ills
will be cured.

CASH MAKES THEM BRAVE.

Dlsbursing officers of the Wittpenn
administration in Jersey City either
have strong faith in the validity of the
ripper bill, by the grace of which
they hold their jobs, or else they need
the money" for they have ignored the
notice of the ousted Faganites that
they would be held responsible and are
paying out the salary warrants.
Responsibility of that sort sits lightly
on the shoulders Of men who have the
bird in the hand" of a lump sum of
money. They are willing to face the
remote contingency of having to share
with the city the cost of refunding
should tho law be declared void. They
know which party will pay the refund
If 1t is called for. Cash makes them
brave.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY /, 1905.
GOVERNOR AND NONRESIDENT

For President. William H. Taft, of
Ohio. For Vice. president, John Frank
lin Fort, of New Jersey. That is the
form OF ticket that is just now in the
mind Of the Republican voter.
John W. Griggs resigned the Office of
Governor to take an appointive posi-
tion under the Federal government.
He has ever since been resentfully
criticised for that act. But an election
TO the exalted office of Vice-President
is an altogether different thing. 1t is a
call by the people themselves to q
higher post in the public service.
There could be no criticism of a Coy
ernor who should be elected to the
vice-presidency of the nation.
IT Governor Fort should be nominal
ted and elected Vice-President he
would take office on March 4 next year,
and thereupon the acting Governor of
New Jersey would be Thomas J.. Hill
lery. OF Morris County. president of the
State Senate. Senator Hillery would
discharge all the duties Of the office OF
Governor until q new Governor should
be elected in November. He would be
acting Governor by virtue of his office
of president of the Senate and would
retain that office while acting as Cow
ernor. Probably Senator HIlery would
be the party candidate for Governor.
Foster NJ. Voorhees, was nominated and
elected for the full term as Governor
while he was acting Governor.
President Roosevelt's special message
has opened up some new and lmpor-
tant vistas in the politics of this State.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The Common Council committee on
construction and alteration of public
buildings has become solicitous as to
the responsibility for the construction
OF public school buildings if the new
School Board is to have the power to
supervise their erection. If a School
Board official is to supervise, then the
committee cannot be held responsible
for accident due to faulty construction.
The objection applies to the action of
the School Board this week in reform
ing the methods of the old board. The
Council committee is to get an opinion
by the city counsel.
Responsibility is elastic and covers
many official sins and ~delinquencies.
Whenever was a Council committee
held responsible for anything? There
have been faults and neglects and de-
fects galore in the construction of pub
lie buildings in the past, and we can
not remember a single instance in
which the responsibility was visited,
with penalties, upon anybody.

NAY BE

President Roosevelt's remarkable
message to Congress was we'll timed
for the candidacy of Secretary Taft.
The Ohio Republican primaries are
500 to be held to elect delegates.to the
Republican State convention and to the
national nominating convention, and
the effect of the message upon these
primaries cannot be moderated, mas
much as it is universally recognized
that Taft is the favored, candidate of
Roosevelt and represents tho Roose-
yeltian policies.
But the message may have a still
more marked effect. The sentiment
for the denomination of Roosevelt has
not been much in evidence since his
~disavowal of a candidacy, but it
has only been dormant. The message
may galvanlze it into a new life. IT
can be argued that II the national con-
vention should make Roosevelt the
candidate for President and then adj
journ sine die he could be voted for and
elected without the formality of an
acceptance and would be President in
spite of himself and without any viola
ton Of his pledges.

TAXING THE PRICE OF A TITLE.

IT Assemblyman Keller, of New York,
can force on the statute books his bill
taxing marriage settlements given by
women living in New York to aliens
living abroad 20 per cent, he seems to
fancy that it is a Ease of the foreigner
paying the tax, The sort of foreigners
that marry here for the dowry would
surely add the tax to the price of the
title or name if expected to pay.
The papa buying the costly preferment
for his daughter would easily find a way
of evading the payment of the addi-
tional 20 per cent. for his indulgence.
His, class manages to dodge other taxes
without much trouble, and the taxing
power under Mr.. Keller's bill would
have a long hunt for the impost. Per-
haps he has heard of the case of
a girl recently acquiring a title by
marriage making no marriage settle
ment," but carrying away $5,Oo0,oOO in
pin money. There could be no $1,000 600
collected on thai transaction.

Speaking Plainly.

The following %anecdote, after remaining
in storage many years, has been recently
busted and brought to light:
A young and afterward distinguished at
torney from an u~p-country district Of New
York State. was arguing his first appealsin
the old general term of Supreme Court.
He had been in many legal scrimmages in
Justices courts at home, but had never
stood in the awesome presence of five
sedate and learned judges of the Supreme
Court, in general term assembled. His
embarrassment was great. He repeated
himself and misplaced his words so often
that 1t was quite evident that he must
soon be routed by his own confusion unless
something should occur to break tho spell.
Finally, and just as he was ioundering the
deepest in a chaotic tumble of language
and ideas, the presiding judge interrupted
with the following remark:
'Mr. Smithers, 1 believe it will be n
great relief to yourself and to the court If
you will address us in the same free and
informal way that you doubtless use in
addressing your local Justice Of the peace"
well. then" replied S~1lithers. II wish
that while I am busy alleviatiug your
honor's dense ignorance lof the law. you

court laughed heartily and waved for him
to proceed. He grew eloquent, and won
his case. in the midst of hearty applause

oners who come before them must
endure when sentenced. just what
filthy and debasing surroundings in
too many cases will be theirs, there
would doubtless result not only a
greater inclination to temper Justice
with mercy. but a decided improve
ment in Jail conditions.
There are too few jails run
on the principle that in inn
p%risonment the aim should be
not merely punishment but reform,
and too few police magistrates not
liable to perform their duties occa-'
sionallyf in haphazard fashion, accord
ing to whether or not they happen to
be suffering from Crouch" superin-
duced by an ~undercooked breakfast or
by some other influence foreign to the
case in point.
