TAUGHT LOVER TRICK
OF CHANGING MIND

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 21.-
Helen Dulsky, a pretty Russian
girl OF. this city, found to her sor.
row that she has no monopoly in
changing her mind In her love
affair. She and JOS. Zwalina have
been in love for, some years, but
she was always either saying mo"
or changing her. mind about mar
rying him.
Recently she said mo, wait I'M
til next time" again, and he, an
cry, declared he would go to Sus-
STA and get a wife. Two days later,
to her surprise, she learned he was
in New York and about to sail.
A telegram offering to- marry
him if he returned was hastily sent
and she was made happy by a
wire saying he would come back.
Later, however, letter came from
the steamship company saying that
Zwalina had changed his mind, too,
and that, as his sweetheart could
not come to conclusion while he
was in Wilkesbarre, he did not
care to return to her, and had
sailed for Russia.

CLEVELAND, O.. June 21.-
Cleveland is ready to give an an
swer to the United States on how
to celebrate the Fourth of July
with bloodless results.
No small boy can fire off can
non cracker or skyrocket in Cleve'
land on the Fourth, but there will
be plenty of fun for him neverthe
less. This is the only city in the
country where all this is forbidden
by law.
There will be monster fireworks
celebrations at night in all the
parks, but city employees. not small
boys, will touch off the displays
Park policemen will be there to see
that nobody gets hurt, and the
council had to give special permits
sion even for these celebrations.
A big fire here last year caused
the change from pain to pleasure
The day before the Fourth a
woman and her little boy entered a
big two story five and 10 cent
store. The store was full of fire
works and was crowded will
Fourth of July buyers.
The woman wanted some spark
ers for her boy, and the kind she
got were called harmless. But one
of them sent a bali of fire into {
flimsy cloth drapery, and in two
minutes the store from end to emf
roared with explosions and thu
flashing of fire like battlefield.
The woman who made the fata
purchase became separated from
her boy. His body. hardly scorchet
and still smiling, was found late
by firemen.
Eight girls and two customer!
were killed. Forty more were hurt
The tragedy stirred Cleveland t.
action. as the newspapers and Off
Gals had been unable to do. So thu
anti-fireworks ordinance wal
passed under suspension of tn,
rules. No city ever had such /;
strict ordinance, but II looks like {
success.

dams are lazy because they don't
work as much as the whites I'M this
part of the country. This nisnt
wholly true. Most of these indians
are unable to do a days work lin
the fields. 1t will fatigue them. !"
The case of Jasper Logan, which
came to Mr.. Hartman's notice, was
typical. Logan, in the last stages
of tuberculosis, lived in a small
shanty with his sister, who was
the mother of six children, al
though she is not yet 81, all shown
in the picture. Her husband was
sent to prison and the whole fam
! lily was dependent on one sickly In
| dian for support. Logan couldn't
do a days work and the whole
troop were in squalor when found
by Mr.. Hartman.
| Some of the Senecas, though,
even Carlisle graduates, return to
life in the open air and discard the
white mans attire. They thrive
and raise healthy papooses.
Working with the state board of
health, Mr.. Hartman. who is presi-
dent of the Indian Association of
America, is educating the Indians
how to build sanitary homes.

SHOULD BE REELECTED.

The following reasons why Judges
Barnes, Sedgwick and Fawcett should
be reelected to the supreme court in
Nebraska, as set forth by the weekly
Lincoln Press Bulletin, should appeal
to every fair minded voter in the state
and are here given space because The
News wishes to heartily endorse every
word of the article:
For many years it has been a COM
mon and accepted custom, based on
good and valid reasons, to reward
public officers who have been efficient
in their duties and faithful in the pub.
lie service, with a reelection to a Sec
ond term. This custom has a broad
foundation of genuine merit, being in
the conception of the public partly a
reward for good and meritorious SER
vice rendered to the people and per-
haps in greater part recognition of
the increased value to the public of
the services of the trained and ex-
perienced officer. familiar and expert
in the duties he is called upon to dis.
charge.
No single fact or item in our po-
litical customs and habits proves the
ability of the people to select their
public officers with that intelligent
care and discrimination necessary for
the perpetuation of our free institu-
tions, than this we'll known disposi-
ton to award to a faithful public ser.
want the compliment of a second term
and to gain at the same time the val
liable benefit of a tried and expert
enced officer.
In the state election this year the
people OF Nebraska have an unusual
opportunity to again vindicate this
we'll founded principle and gain for
the state the continued services of
three eminent citizens as judges OF
the supreme court. men OF capacity
and integrity proven by term OF

letes, as a rule. Farmer" Burns told
us year ago, are pure of thought.
Farmer" Burns doesn't use liquor or
tobacco or prolane language.
Can there be IA question but that II
would be better To give the boys of
Norfolk healthtul athletic training
than to allow them to loaf in the
places that are to be loaled In now?
There is but $4,000 to be raised to
make this Y. Nj. G. A. go. That
ought not to be hard in town this
size. Many men OF prominence in the
city thus tar, have refused to con
tribute. They're making mistake.
They owe something to society--some.
thing to the boys and to the future
generation.
Because your business competitor
hasn't given, does not relieve you of
Il responsibility. Rise above those
petty things. Be bigger than that.
BE factor for the good of Norfolk,
and not one to pull back.
Farmers living around Norfolk will
benefit by this Y. M. G. A. Farmers
sons will find there wholesome place
for spare moments. Farmers ought
to help make it possible to have this
institution, Coupons can be clipped
from The News and filled in with a
pledge.
The time is short Every day must
count if the $4,000 is to be raised this
week.
And it ought to be-for the sake of
the boys!

When the people Of the United
States get so busy attending to the
necessary work of the world and
their own Individual business that
they have no time to waste on politi-
cal deals, the Office will seek the man,
not the man the office. The profes.
sional politician who is always run
Ming for Office will find that he arouses
very little interest in the minds of
the public, his place will be filed
by the business man who conscien.
tiously sacrifices his business to per.
form his share of the public service.
When such man administers pub.
lie affairs, prosperity to state and
nation will result.

Many Americans seriously get the
idea that American business men,
American cities and states and the
nation itself do things in a larger
more lavish and efficient way than the
people of any other country; but when
an American gets to feeling this way
to any great extent, it would be a
very healthy thing for him to take
trip across the water and see what
some of those old slow countries which
he thinks of as being Chiefly noted
for splendid ruins and ancient struc-
lures. After he has toured the CONT
nent he will find this bubble thorough
ly burst. There are other progressive
peoples. Other cities are spending
MILLIONS in improvements. Other cit
les have parks, public gardens, mi-
seums, hospitals and great school priv
ileges. Incidentally, they are also
carrying heavy burdens Of indebted
ness and are striving to find new
sources of income to liquidate them.

The country has fallen upon a per-
iod when the virtue of economy of
public funds seems to be wholly dis
regarded. Men talk glibly of pro.
jects which involve the expenditure of
hundreds of millions and when ques.
toned about financing them, reply
easily, "Oh. we can issue bonds for
that" If the government were run
with the slightest regard for reason
able economy the revenue would be
sufficient to cover every reasonable ex-
pense. The extra war expenses are
not only Unnecessary but are an &C.
tual incentive to war. They sink us
to the level of European militarism.
From forty to fifty million dollars
more than is demanded by the actual
exigencies of the case are being spent
in war paraphernalia all because Of
trumped up war clouds. The total
increase in expenditures for the army
and navy for the last eight years has
been s1,072, 100000, which more than

THE PEOPLE WANT FAIR JUDGES

THE PEOPLE WANT FAIR JUDGES
The Omaha World.Herald Is az.
grieved because The Norfolk News
sees in Judge Barnes, Judge Sedgwick
and Judge Fawcett those qualities OF
integrity, honor and legal ability
which should recommend them to the
voters Of this state for further service
on the supreme bench. The World
Herald considers The News the lead
ing republican newspaper of the state
aside from the Omaha Bee, a compli.
ment which The News appreciates, and
for this reason devotes some space In
an effort to discredit the soundness OF
this papers opinion, or It's sincerity
perhaps, in the matter.
The World.Herald, along with Gov.
ernor Shallenberger, would like to
elect the three democratic candidates
for the supreme bench this year. An
incompetent democratic legislature last
winter passed a number of laws which
when brought to test, have been found
impossible because they violated the
constitution of the state and nation.
Perchance the World-Herald believes
that with democratic supreme court,
the flaws in the laws passed by an in.
capable democratic legislature might
be overlooked, "for the sake of the
party" The fact that Judge Barnes,
Judge Sedgwick and Judge Fawcett
are the type Of men who, presiding on
the supreme bench, will render abso.
lutely impartial opinions, based upon
the constitution and upon sound law
regardless Of political party, is enough
to cause furry in the World-Herald s
nerve-centers, for the WorldHerald
would be glad to elect judges who will
uphold the democratic party's legis
lation," whether it be right or wrong
That the people of Nebraska need
have no fear of their interests suffer
ing at the hands of such men as
Judges Barnes. Sedgwick and Fawcett
Is indicated in past decisions handed
down by these able jurists.
1t was only recently that Judge
Barnes upheld the Sibley act, reducing
express rates in Nebraska 25 per cent
declared by many to be the most i'm
portant decision in this state in recent
years.
Certainly no decision ever meant
more to the public And certainly
judges of this type are to be trusted
by the people of Nebraska. These
judges have been tried and found hon
orable, impartial-and, above all, ca
pable.
The fact that they are absolutely
fair will appeal to the voters, even il
it does not appeal to the World-Her
aid
