"ShaII the People Rule z"

Norfolk, Neb., Aug 29.-Editor
News: Shall the people rule? Yes!
If the people of Nebraska will go to
the primaries September /, they shall
rule. The people who are too busy on
that day to be United States citizens
shall not rule.
The new primary law was passed to
give the people of Nebraska the op-
portunity of ruling if they wish to. If
they don't care to rule let the law be
repealed at the next legislature, and
let us go back to the old caucus sys-
tenn. 1t is much cheaper.
The farmers of Nebraska are surely
not awake TO their new responsibility.
The records thus far show that the
towns nominate the candidates under
the new law because the farmers
think it not worth while to attend the
primaries.
The farmers of Nebraska rule in
everything but politics. Money talks,
and the farmers have the money.
When they tune up their fiddle, mer-
chants, tradesmen, professional men,
everybody dances to their music. But
in the game of politics they are losers
because they do not play their hand.
September l finds the average far
mer busy haying. If he stops to go
and vote ton or two of hay may get
wet and spoil. If he doesn't stop,
some otfice-seeker is nominated that
the farmer does not trust. Perhaps
he would have been nominated in
spite of his vote. Perhaps not. Many
a rascal has got into office because
some good man was too busy to vote.
In the worlds fight for freedom
millions of brave men have sacrificed
their time, their fortunes and their
lives for liberty, for representation,
for the ballot. All these priceless
privileges are ours by Inheritance; and
yet, there are thousands of farmers
and others in Nebraska who allow
petty affairs to steal away their citi-
zenship They are like Esau of old,
they sacrifice their birthright for a
mess of pottage.
Democratic farmers of Nebraska, do
you want Jim Dahlman of Omaha as
your candidate for governor? If you
don't, get busy September /, for the
Dahlman forces are already busy.
Republican farmers of the Eleventh
district, do you want c, A. Randall of
Newmans Grove to take the senator
ial nomination away from Stanton
county where common courtesy and
precedent demands that it should go?
If you don't, go to the primaries Sep
TENDER l and see that Appleby of Stan
ton is nominated.
Political wise-acres are wagging
their heads and telling that the new
primary law is a fizzle, that it is a
great expense and that the bosses

Frank PiIuer,

Pierce Leader: The many friends
of our popular and efficient county
superintendent, Frank Pilger, will be
delighted to learn of victory which
is statewide a victory which is an
honor 10 any superintendent and a
credit to that county from which said
person halls.
The victory is this: OF all the coun-
ty superintendent in the state Mr..
Pilger is the first one to file his annual
NerOrt with the state superintendent.
And that does not cover it all. For
the past three years he has won the
same victory. The people of Pierce
county have one of the best, if not the
best, county superintendent, in the
state and we sometimes wonder if
they appreciate this fact Superin-
lendent Pilger has never spared
neither time nor effort in supplying
our country schools with the best of
teachers, and not once has he had
any trouble in securing sufficient
teachers to fill the schools, a difficulty
which so many counties experience
each year And those teachers are
required to attend institute each year
and pass a certain grade in their ex-
aminatonS or they will not he allowed
90 teach. Note what he says in his
School News Of August: "One lady
Is mad at us because we won't leave
her teach She has the promise of a
school. She has, also, several grades
below 40 per cent, What do you think
of that?" And again regarding insti-
tutes: "A teacher who breads attend
ing institute, is not a good teacher,
She breads her school work She is
not professional" That's the right
kind of a stand to take. SO long as
such rules are put into effect and en-
forced, it can be relied on that our
schools are in the hands of safe and
competent teachers.
But back to our first subject; We

FOR A NORFOLK DAY
At TRIP DRAWING
SUGGESTED THAT VISITING TRIP
AND DRAWING BE COMBINED.

With the dates for the opening of
Trip county drawing near and with
no definite time as yet set for the
Norfolk visiting excursion up the
Bonesteel line, several Norfolk citi-
Zens have suggested that Norfolk
registration day" be set during the
Trip drawing and that the registra-
ton day be combined with the Nor
folk excursion. In this way the towns
on the north line could be visited and
at the same time the big land draw
ing could be taken in.
Mayor Sturgeon is inclined to view
the new proposition with favor. Mr.
Sturgeon says it has been hard to ar
range for special cars but that cars
will be ready at the time of the open
ing.

Touchinq.

Sparta Notes, NerdigTo VItIZen: me
two doctors who were canvassing this
neighborhood last week professed
themselves to be endowed with more
than ordinary curative powers, and
their sense of touch must have been
near the perfect mark. Their claim
was that they asked no questions and
that by simply touching you in the
neck with their hand they could tell
your ailment to a dot, but we did not
learn of anybody being touched in
the neck for anything in this vicinity.

Guard Strangers From Drowning.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 26.-SpeClal
to The News: A movement has been
inaugurated in Lyman county for the
placing of warning notices at al!
crossings of streams in that county
which are dangerous during high wa
ter. The past year or two several
persons have lost their lives while
attempting to cross streams within
the boundaries of the county and 9th
ers have had remarkable escapes
from drowning The old timers are
aware of the danger attending efforts
to cross some of the streams when
they are greatly swollen by excessive
rains, but strangers In the county,
such as those from other states who
have taken homesteads there and
parties travelling through the country,
little realize the danger of attempting
to ford some of the streams when the
water is high 1t is for their benefit
that it is proposed to post the warn
ing notices at each crossing which is
considered dangerous. The notices
will show the danger line and will
advise travellers not to attempt to
ford the streams when the danger line
has been reached. 1t is believed the
posting of the warning notices will re-
suit in saving lives during each sea

RETURN FROM PARK.
TELL OF STAGE COACH THEFT

Half Mile Behind the Seventeen
Stage Coaches Which Were Help Up
In Yellowstone Park.
Mr.. and Mrs George Williams of

counted up their loss and Mr.. Williams
says that 81 AS in cash was stolen
and $2,335 including cash and jewelry.

plumber amounted to $4,000.

ed up their losses. One Tennessee
man had three daughters, each Of
whom wore a diamond ring. Two
gave up their rings. The third wore
one worth $500. She dropped into
the bottom of the stage and told the
robber shed rather die than give it
up. Then I'll kill YOU" the robber
