RUN TRAINS UP TOWN.

This is a good time for the Norfolk
Commercial club to ask the North
western to run its trains up town. The
Northwestern's Junction depot is a
disgrace. 1t is equally disgraceful to
Norfolk and to the railroad. With
that condition existing, this would
seem an opportune time to ask that
use of that old shack be abandoned for
main line passenger traffic, and that
the trains be run up town, where
there is a $4,000 station. The run.

A city paper suggests, editorially,
that the residents of that city could
greatly reduce the cost of living by
planting back yard gardens twelve
feet square. 1t may be that some com
fort and convenience could be enjoyed
by raising a few vegetables on patch
of ground of that size, but a family
would have to hunt with microscope
for any perceptible decrease in the
grocery bill realized from such gar
den.

CAN'T STEAL OUR TEACHERS.

Sioux City's little effort to take
away the North Nebraska Teachers
association has been nipped in the
bud. The plan would have been great
for Sioux City, but is wasn't appreci-
ated by the teachers of north Nebras-
ka.
The boards of education in this ter
ritory would hardly support a move
ment to destroy a north Nebraska in
stitution. The present plan enables
practically every teacher in this ter.
ritory to attend the conventions each
year, and at slight expense. Nothing
whatsoever could be gained by the
Sioux City plan, from the teachers
viewpoint.
To make the number of teachers
assembled greater would prove of no
benefit. 1t merely would complicate
things. There's no mutual interest
between teachers of this state and
those of Iowa, comparatively speaking
And then north Nebraska is pretty
loyal to it's own institutions, anyway
Sioux City may learn that in time.

HOW TO KEEP THIS ROAD

This road was constructed for
your use.
Don't drive in one track. Avoid

II you use a little care and do
not drive exactly where the last

tributed, which will keep the
surface smooth and the road
will remain good for years;
otherwise it will soon be rutted

The action OF the federal govern.

year have been investigating this
pernicious form of graft and, indict-

number of arrests have already been
o'clock, warrants were served in raids
upon bucket shops of various cities
simultaneously.
President Taft has undertaken a
large number of gigantic movements.
Among these is the new railroad rate
BILL the tariff legislation conserva-
tion of resources, postal savings
banks, etc. And meanwhile, the ad-
ministration forces are at work to
dissolve illegal trusts and to put the
, guilty officials of them in Jail.
The president has been misinter-
| preted in many quarters, due in a
large sense perhaps to his reticence
in talking for publication and his ut.
ter contempt for grandstanding. His
retiring attitude doesn't set well with
yellow magazines and newspapers and
he has been attacked. On top of
this, his recommendation that maya
zines be made to pay their share of
postage rates, has stirred up a hor-
nets nest of attack from all sides.
Realizing that this sort of attack
may mislead the American people. the
administration on next Saturday will
begin a campaign of defense, by
means of a series of speeches that
will be delivered by the president,
himself, and others.

baby" Isn't it possible that we are

fly? No one wants flies, or advocates
them, but if one little fly gets into the
house and makes a tour of inspection
over baby's face, will it be necessary
to send for the undertaken? Oldtimers
recall the time when every sleeping
baby was the fys breakfast, dinner
and supper; there were no screens in
those days, and If there wGs any mos
