is the way he went at it. He planted
potatoes in January, with corn between

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The move just undertaken by the
Commercial club looking toward bet
ter roads for the country around Nor
folk, deserves the loyal and liberal
support of every business man in Nor
folk. From a selfish standpoint, If
from no other, no business man can
afford to pass this opportunity to Sc
cure better highways leading into this
city.
The plan should appeal with equal
If not greater force to every farmer
living within a radius of ten miles of
Norfolk. Better roads will mean more
money in the pocket of every indi-
vidual farmer,
From the merchants viewpoint, bet
ter roads will make 1t easier for farm
ers to come to Norfolk to trade and
thus will induce trade to Norfolk
which otherwise would go elsewhere.
Thus the plan should be n good in
vestment for the business man.
From the farmers viewpoint, better
roads mean less cost in transporting

Il. IL HARTMAN

The death of Mr.. Hartman has re-
moved a man who did much to develop
the state of Nebraska. The superior
railroad running through this state,
upon which millions were spent, stands
as a monument to his broad gauge as
constructive genius.
The fact that Union Pacific stocks
advanced almost thirteen points Fri
day, following Mr.. Harrimans death,
is a tribute to the railroad that he
built. The indication is that the Union
Pacific has been so well built that the
death of the builder has no damaging
effect upon its credit.
OF Mr.. Hartman the Omaha Bee
fittingly says:
Edwin H. Hartman, who controlled
more railroad mileage than any other
living man, dies with fewer enemies
1t is safe to say than any of the other
great railroad owners who have gone
before him. His policy of construc
tive building, selfish or unselfish, gave
employment to thousands of men, en-
larged towns, increased commercial
activities and gave tremendous i'm
petus to growth in the west.
Omaha can only think kindly of the
man who freely expended money foI
the development of terminal facilities
made greater the great property which
means so much to the city and left
monuments here which for many years
will attach his name to that of the
community.
mo man can die of overwork with
out bearing with him to the grave one
side of the worlds respect. How he
compared with other great railroad
commanders will always be hard tc
tell. He missed acquiri, g the Burlng
ton and spent fortune in acquiring
nothing. He nearly missed getting the
Illinois Central and committing an
other strategical mistake. But he
made few plumbers and must rank
with the geniuses of acquisition. II
may be said of him that he was per
sonally amiable and that, counting &C
cording to the good done in the world
he was one of the most beneficent fig
ures in the list of great careers cred
tied to America"

The Oldest and hoariest of gratis is
the franking privilege. In these days,
when senators and representatives
have not only voted themselves extra
salaries and private secretaries, but
have built sumptuous Office buildings
for themselves with the public money;
when no congressman thinks of TAX
ing a bath or trimming his finger
nails or having a glass of lemonade
except at the public expense, it is
probably useless to protest against
this steal. Every man should pay his
own postage. There should be no
such thing as a franking privilege,

bers might be cut off. The govern
ment printing Office could be reformed

the ranking privilege curtailed at the
same time. Add to this a proper re-
form of the second class mail rates
and fiscal reform would be accom-
plished. For years now the postoffice
has been prostituted to the uses OF
certain publishers and advertising con
Germs who have influence enough in
congress to keep the rates from being
made right. With these two changes

There are numberless indications
that the Japanese people look upon
the Pacific coast with longing eyes
and behold in it prize that spurs
them to the greatest sacrifice and ex.
ertion in order to gain a foothold
upon our soil. The law of self pre-
servation demands that the Oriental
races be excluded from America. The
two countries whose interests meet
upon the Pacific can continue to live
in state of friendship and amicable
commercial conditions just so long as
each is willing to recognize the in
superable barrier that divides the two
races; but if the brown race shall seek
to assert race equality upon our own
soil and demand to be admitted to all
the privileges conferred upon those of
Caucasion blood they must not be sur
prised if their attempt to occupy our
soil permanently in large numbers
should arouse the most intense and
determined opposition.
