The announcement that G. l.. Carl
son, the scientific horseman will pub
lish from Norfolk a monthly maga.
zine for farmers and stock breeders,
will be received with satisfaction by

announcement means added prestige
for Norfolk, as well as for Nebraska.
Mr. Carlson, recognized the world over

advertising that never could come in

The returns from the British elec.
tion-which really is a referendum
vote on whether the policies of the
government shall be approved or con-
demned-show no disposition on the
part of the British public to take the
back track. Neither do they show a
radical sentiment strong enough to
put the liberal government in an ir.
resistible position. The outlook now

WINTER SPORTS.

Some genius should invent a game
that would keep men and women out
doors through the winter Billiards is
an elegant game. But usually played
in stuffy rooms regulated to the TEN.
perature of the coolest blooded, it
leaves the players pale and lifeless
the next day. Bowling is trifie bet
ter, as 1t is exercise enough to require
some fresh air, but it is pretty active
to appeal to the ordinary working or
business man. Basket ball is so ath-
letic as to be attractive only to the
younger class of men in good train
ing.
Skating and coasting appeal mostly
to young people. Half of the United
States is too warm for regular snow
and ice and these sports lack the COM
petitive element which alone stirs
permanent interest.
For a host of business men, winter
begins the day that ball parks close,
or the tennis racket or golf clubs are
taken home. The healthy tan and
color leaves their faces, and
they sink into an inelastic humdrum
of regular routine, usually in poorly
ventilated rooms, without athletic
stimulus.

ment of Judge Garland of South Da.
kota to the court of commerce. show
the broad mlndedness of President
Taft in marked degree. Both these
jurists are democrats and most pres.
idents would have seized the oppor.
tunity to make partisan appointments
all along the line. Particularly would
most chief executives have selected a
man of the same political complexion
for the chief justiceship.
The list OF jurists just appointed by
President Taft is longer one than
usually falls to one president at a
given time, and with his splendid ju.
dicial knowledge and temperament,
together with his high ideals as to the
bench, the people in general will ac.
cord to, Mr.. Taft the ability to select
these judges better, almost, than any
other person in the country today

this connection, the country will ac-
cept the appointments as the best that

NORTH NEBRASKA SOIL.

Every citizen in this territory
should read with particular interest
the splendid article appearing in to-
days News over the signature of
George Coupland of Elgin, regent In
the University of Nebraska, in which
Mr.. Coupland gives hitherto unpub.
lished scientific facts showing that the
soil in north Nebraska is the richest
and most productive on the face of
the globe. This fact backed up by
scientific data, should give a new
pride to the region of which Mr.. Coup
land writes and should prove a source
of greatest satisfaction to those who
are fortunate enough to have cast
their lot in this, the most fertile gar.
den spot on the planet earth
The fact that we have such wonder.
fully rich soil, however, will not alone
produce the wealth that this land is
capable of. Scientific farming must
be coupled with the land to get a max
imum OF results. Mr.. Couplan1 in his
article tells how crops should be ~
tated in order to get the best results
and he makes strong point which
should be given serious consideration
by the farmers at large when ne urges
that the young men on the farms be
sent away to reliable colleges and uni
versities where they can learn the
very latest methods in scientific farm
ing.
The public schools of north Nebras-
ka could do not better than to study
Mr. Coupland's article in today's News
and it should be given most careful
consideration by communities inter-
ested in the upbuilding of this great
territory.

The idea that suppressing the news
of crimes or other bad" things that
happen in a community, will save the
community from black eye, is one
of the most fallacious theories under
which any town ever labored Hap
penings of this sort can not be sup
pressed and the sooner the truth is
published, the better for all concerned.
Any town attempting to suppress
news of this kind will find that it's ac-
ton only breeds rumors a thousand
times worse than the actual facts, and
that ultimately publicity will be
sought in order to get the truth before
the people. Disgraceful events have
been happening ever since Eve fed
Adam the apple, but it never yet has
been possible to suppress this sort
of news successfully.
