DROP,OF STEEL PRICES.

The drop of prices in steel with cor
responding reduction of wages, as an
nounced by the United States steel
corporation, seems to point to the
existence even at this late date of busi-
ness depression in the east. People
living in Nebraska and South Dakota
know nothing of the depression that
the east has undergone. Agriculture,
after all, has proven, in this case as
many times before, to be the back
bone of genuine prosperity, and it has
been brought out that the agricultural
region, with good crops, need have NO
worries as to the future. Never were
prices better than now, never were
crops better than they have been, dur

The point which it was desired TO

AROrT THE DYKE.

With an unusually large amount of
snow packed in the country above
Norfolk, it is not at all unnatural that
this city at this time should view
seriously the forthcoming possibilities
of high water,
At this moment, with prospects OF
unusually high water, the city coun-
Gil should by all means make pro
vision for keeping the dyke to the
north of town, in ship-shape. Some
officer in the employ of the city, the
chief of police, for instance, should
be given the responsibility of seeing
that the dyke is kept in order
A break in the dyke would mean
loss of many thousands of dollars to
Norfolk business men. The News
has repeatedly called attention to this
matter before There is no longer
time for delay We are right up to
the spring flood time and the business
heart of the city should be given
every possible protection.
1t should be somebody's business to
see that the dyke is at all times
capable of doing its work in holding
back the wall of water,

TAFT ON NEGRO QUESTION.

President Elect Taft is not going ID
stir up the negro problem by appoint
ing any negroes to federal office in
states where such appointments would
prove Objectionable to the white citi.
zens.
When he was in Washington on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr.. Taft
showed the draft on his inaugural ad.
dress to several friends, some of whom
had opportunity to read or hear it all,
1t is understood that he read or showed
it to President Roosevelt.
1t has been learned that among the
several subjects discussed in the draft
of the address as it stood on Wednes-
day was this question of the appoint.
ment of negroes to federal offices. AS
it stood then, the draft contained a
strong and clear assertion of Mr.
Taft's views. 1t discussed the condi-
ton of the negroes generally, and re-
ferred to the great advance made by
the race especially since the emanci.
patton of the slaves. 1t went on to
discuss the possibilities of further de-
velopment and finally came squarely
to the question of appointment to
office
On this point it said that where ne
groes had demonstrated their fitness
to share in the responsibilities of gov
ernment and their personal qualilica-
tions for office, and where their selec.
tiOn would not create feeling in the
community in which they reside, they
were entitled to take their share in
the administration of the public busi-
ness, But where their appointment
would tend to create a feeling in the
community in which they live such Sc
lections should not be made, and he
would not make them. Some of those
wno have seen or heard this part of
the draft of the Inauguration address
regard it as an explicit announcement
pointment of negroes to office in any
of the southern states
However. if he finds any negroes
capable of filling offices in some of
the other states, he will not hesitate
to appoint them.
This position is not in accord with
that of President Roosevelt.
The Democrats of the senate have
just been engaged in a sharp fight to
prevent the confirmation of the reap.
pointment of w. d. Crum to be col
| lector of customs at Charleston
S. c. Crum was confirmed on his
first appointment, but only after a
long and desperate fight. When the
reappointment was made, the senate
Democrats saw an opportunity to get
an expression from Mr.. Taft rigb' at
the start of his administration
The Democrats were so persistent
in their opposition that the matter
was finally withdrawn temporarily by
Senator Frye, chairman of the com
mittee on commerce, to which the
nomination had been referred. Now il
appears that Mr.. Taft is not to be
embarrassed by such tactics and &C
cording to well defined and seemingly
reliable authority, has wisely deter
mined to make statement of his
position right at the outset

the subject of peacocks for the benefit
of Banker Wallie Tucker of Winside
whom the Tribune states is making

cocks for the park, The Norfolk News

and that the Nebraska climate was

The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1909-02-26

that Norfolk would be an ideal spot for
peacocks; plenty of sand, if though
perhaps too many shooting irons. The
only peacock the Democrat ever saw
in Wayne county was on John Owens

Those who reckon when estimating
strength that in case of war with
Japan that Great Britain would slue
with the Japanese because OF an al
lance between England and Japan
would be disappointed, The Anglo
Japanese alliance instead of adding TO
the complications to our difficulties Is
rather a most excellent guarantee OF
peace for they must listen to the ad-
vice of their ally. The money market
of London would not be open to them

whatever ground of neutrality the BTU

on, the British colonies of Canada and
