MOTOR BOAT is FINISHED.
Built Complete by James Delaney ard
e F. Huse Of Norfolk


Hard at work on the stage OF the
Norfolk Auditorium for the past
month, James Delaney and E. F. Fuse
have at last got to the point where
the drawing of breath is a luxury.
A motor boat will be launched and
christened in time to ply the cool wa
tiers of the Northfork on July 4.
The launch is an 1S-footer, fiat bot
tom, with a beautiful narrow prov,
built for speed and equipped with a
powerful engine.
The two Norfolk young men are
credited with building every inch of
the boat themselves, with no profes.
sional assistance whatever. The en-
CINE was shipped in posthaste from
the east and work has been going on
night and day to enable the owners
to have the boat ready for launching
on the Fourth.
No formal program for the launch
ing has been announced, but it is re-
ported that on the morning of July 4
the pretty little craft will be ready to
slide down the planks into the waters
of the Northfork. One report also
says that a number of bottles of ice
water will be broken over the prov of
the boat by some popular lady of the
city and the words, Il christen thee
-" will be said Then the gas
oline will be started running and the
chug.chug of the motor will be heard
as the first boat of its kind built in
this city will make it's initial trip up
the river.

Gated brick, which he said was much
more satisfactory than the concrete

There were many arguments IN IA

Mr.. Craig it was brought out that Har-
Ian and Sioux City officials claim that
some brick people are combined with
contractors. Should town turn down
the bids filed by contractors and buy
the brick on their own accord, the
bidders get a commission just the
same in many cases, it is said.

Why We Like Eiuhta.

Niobrara, Neb., July 4.-Editor
News: Primarily and fundamentally
our interest in prize fighting is psy.
Geological and not animal or physical.
The animal interest is secondary, and
incidental, but real. Anything that
exhibits highly developed power APP.
peals to our imagination and feelings
The prize fighter not only exhibits
power in action-concrete power
but there is to us large degree of
hidden reserve power, which we can.
not fathom and which we therefore
magnify and half idealize, as we do
all mysterious, felt, unmeasured per-
sonal forces. Moreover, we feel sub
consciously that the fighters ability
to conquer is possible us, if only re.
motely, and this indirectly feeds our
vanity.
No doubt the love of physical con-
test is rooted in our inherited nerves
and in our sympathetic, but selfish
and brutal desire to see Jeffries or
Johnson strike hard, clever blows and
endure punishment, and finally land
thrilling and irresistible blow, but
if like power could be manifested in
concrete spectacular manner, in con-
test, with the Troglodyte brutality
eliminated, we would be fascinated
and thrilled without being uncon.
sciously lowered toward the point
where we could watch bull fights and
bloody gladiatorial contests with un-
concern or delight. The moral prob
lem is one of tendencies.
With apologies to Ebert Hubbard
and Jack London, whatever is natural
is not right. 1t may be natural to
fight half clad for a piece of raw meat
on bone, or murder those who have
erased our names from their visiting
list, or pound our friends faces with
gloves, but the body social is not ele-
waited thereby.
Our danger lies in the fact that
manifested power intoXicates us and
causes us to excuse the associated sci.
fish animal qualities that, given full
play, made Sulla and lilly and Ma.
poleon what they were and are.
Yours truly,
Frank Thompson.

Not to Tear Down Railroads.

Beverly, Mass, July 2.-President
Taft had long talk with Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission regarding the admins
tration of railways. At the conclu-
sion of the interview it was made
plain that the added authority given
to the commission by the new statue
is not to be used arbitrarily or for the
purpose of hindering the railways in
conduct of their business. The power
to suspend new rates, probably the
most direct weapon placed in the
hands of the commission, is to be
used only in exceptional cases. Chair
man Knapp told the president that
the commission had refused an appli-
cation under the new law for a sus-
pension of increased rates on horse
vehicles and automobiles. He said
that there was nothing on the face
of things to show that the new rates
were unjust or unreasonable. The
interstate commerce commission will
not aim to fix definite rates for the
railways and the power of suspen-
sion will be applied only to rates
when prelimina y nearing gives in
dication that they are excessive.
