The Root waterways providing for
the settlement of all present and fu-

the United States is likely to be re-
jected by the Canadians because Of the
provision which gave to the United
States $4,000 of the 100000 cubic feet
of water per second flowing over the
falls at Sault Ste. Marie. The claim
fthis country to the larger volume
of water was based upon the position
of the international boundary at that
place. But it is a short sighted policy
to exasperate this near neighbor by re-
fusing an equal division of water at
this point and therby probably lose her

portant matters.

Senator Flint has introduced a bill
directing the secretary of war to es-

Pacific coast in connection with the
line of steamers along the Atlantic
coast operated by the Panama railroad
and appropriating $10,000,O00 for such

the need of such line of steamers,
but considering Senator Flint's close

into the requirements of the bill quite
carefully before endorsing it.

The chief argument of those OPP
posed to tariff revision is that there
is already deficit, and they ask, how
is the deficit to be made up II the
customs, duties are lowered or re-
moved. This argument has little force
from the fact that there is little de-
mand for lowering OF the tariff on
imports which now actually compete
in this market and are therefore large
revenue producers. It is not the
prices on goods which are In COM

The lesson of preparedness is one
that every man especially every young
man should take to heart. 1t was
Benjamin Franklin who said that the
tax we pay to the government is an
insignificant tax, but that the tax we
beg for food? There is only one rea-
son why this condition should exist for
any length of time; that is because
when prosperity comes We abuse It.
We lay hold on the fat of the land
and feed upon it, throwing all else to
the dogs. BY these spendthrift meas
ures we are shortly bankrupt. There
is no reason in the nature of things
why this country should ever have a
panic, no reason why it should not
have prosperity all the time, instead
of only part of the time. The reason
that we have prosperity by spells and
jerks is because of our bad methods.
If we insist upon being wasteful in
the years of plenty, years of famine
must inevitably follow.

NORFOLK rs BOUND TO GROW.

NORFOLh Is BOUND 10 CHOW.
In his address to the Norfolk Com
mercial club Thursday night, e. r.
number of ideas that have attracted
attention among business men of the
city.
That Nebraska is great state and
that it will, within the next few years,
develop into just as great and rich &
state, acre for acre, as Iowa or Illinois,
was his forecast. He cited the fact
that Illinois has perhaps seventy five
cities like Peoria, Bloomington, ETC., of
$1,000 to 10000 population.
Iowa has her score or more of cities
of $4,000 to 10000 population-cities
like Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Marshall
town, Keokuk, etc.
The territory in which those cities
are built is no better than Nebraska.
those cities are none of them located
better than Norfolk-few, indeed, sc
advantageously.
There are manufacturing industries
in those cities-120 manufacturing es
adjustments, for instance, in Water
loo.
Manufacturing will move to Ne
braska. There is no reason why this
state should not make stoves, harness,
buggies, shoes, and hundreds of other
articles, used by the people of this
region.
Mr.. Quincy scoffed at the man who
says manufacturing cannot be done
successfully in Nebraska. 1t can be
done in Nebraska as we'll as in Iowa
or Illinois,
1t is up to Norfolk, Mr.. Quincy said,
to decide whether it will become a
center for manufacturing, distributing,
shipping and business generally. 1t is
located right. it is a wonderful OPP
portunity, remaining only for Norfolk S
business men to take advantage Of
Mr.. Quincy urged all of Norfolk S
business men to cooperate for Nor
folks growth; to get together in this
one movement for Norfolks advance
ment; he urged that infant industries
in the city be given encouragement
loyal, neighborly encouragement. He
frowned on the knockers and the pessi
mists.
Mr.. Quincy is not alone in his faith
that Norfolk has the chance to become
center of importance. All Norfolk
business men see the same oppor-
tunity. And they agree with him that
this territory, which has been growing
and developing for twenty years, is
just now about to blossom forth into
territory similar to that of Iowa
and Illinois.
And when Nebraska does become an
Iowa, surely there is no reason why
Norfolk shall not be Cedar Rapids.
