Philadelphia = Although Philadel- phia is known as the City of Homes" and contains many public buildings of historic renown, the number of resi- denees of the seventeenth century now standing are comparatively few. One of the reasons for the disappear ance of the old landmarks is the fact that many of the old residential sec tions of the city have been trans formed into business localities and the old structures have given place to modern office buildings and business houses. It is a curious fact that the oldest house in Philadelphia, and the only residence of size in the city with gable ends facing on the street. stands at American and Ionic streets, in tho

asks is that the depot that is already

OTHER ROADS DO IT.

The Union Pacific and NJ. e. O.
roads consider Norfolk important
enough to run their trains into town.
Why shouldn't the Northwestern,
which profits from Norfolk's business
to much greater extent than those
two?
The Union Pacific gives Norfolk an
excellent service to and from Omaha,
picking up passengers in the heart
of the town and bringing them back
to the same place. The NJ. & o. road
likewise renders a splendid Norfolk.
Omaha service, making it possible for
passengers to take trains and leave
them, in the center of the town.
The Northwestern has a station To-
Gated in the city's heart. All that
it would have to do would be to run
it's trains another mile. And expert
railroad men have in the past de-
clared this to be perfectly feasible and
practical.

WHY NOT FOR NORFOLK, TOO.

WHY NOT FOR NORFOLK, TOO?
The Northwestern railroad sends its
trains by roundabout route and over
the Union Pacific's tracks for the sole
purpose of entering and leaving the
city of Omaha at point convenient
for the travelling public. 1t could save
fifteen miles on every train by using
its own depot on Webster street, in
stead of going far around to come in
at the union depot there.
That shows what the Northwestern
railroad is willing to do for the tray
cling public and for city when it
thinks the traffic and the city are
entitled to consideration. But it
doesn't seem to think the travelling
public of north Nebraska and Norfolk
are entitled to even such a slight con-
sideration as to make it worth while
to bring Norfolk trains clear into
town, instead of stopping them a mile
away and forcing passengers to get
the balance of the way by any means
they see fit.
That the running of main line trains
very simple matter, has been repeat
edly stated by railroad experts. Yet
the people of this vicinity continue
to be dumped off out in the country,
practically speaking, and when Nor
folk people want to spend their money
with the Northwestern for passenger
service, they're compelled to make
their way to point mile out of
town before they can board the train.
Norfolk, the Northwestern railroad s
literature will tell you, is a point on
the main line of that system. So far
as revenue is concerned, Norfolk is
one of the most important towns on
the Northwestern's lines. Yet this
town is getting service inferior to that
which hamlets are entitled to.
The Northwestern has no adequate
depot facilities at the Junction. 1t
has a $4,000 depot up town. Why
doesn't it run it's trains into that de-
pot, as it ought to?
Norfolk is entitled to better treat
ment from the Northwestern railroad,
in this regard, than it is getting. And
there's going to be concerted de-
mand made until relief is accorded.

one who has been doing wrong act
against his fellows or againct society
is convicted. But ii needs to be borne
in mind constantly that the graft and
corruption which the press is so fire.
quently disclosing could not prevail
unless there were many people who
are easily receptive to it. Every get
rich-quick scheme in the country is
shared in quietly by hundreds who
are willing to share in the proceeds
but who would not for the world want
to be known as in any way connected
with it.
