could see the big lag high upon the

Now and then they heard cheers

"Never-come Gu"
They went out, and down the eleva-

Vernon looked up and down the street,

AS they set forth in the bright

having come out into public view, for
the time being they dropped their diff
ferences and their MISUNDERSTANDING,
and began to talk in their common,
ordinary fashion.

we thought, that is, we heard, that you

Vernon shook his head as with
pain that would not let him speak. He
was looking disconsolately acro.s the
chamber to where Miss Greene stood
talking with Bull Burns. AS in
dream, he heard Mrs. Overman Hodge.

We cannot always give a reason for

to color to Il greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repoSe and

phase of life. The colorless room has

Color in q house includes much that

carpets, draperies and ornaments, but
it is first and pre-eminently applied to

a single room or for an entire house

influence and personality of every per-

NORFOLK'S OPPORTUNITY.

If the business men of Norfolk
could be induced to drop their every
day affairs for a few days and take a
trip through the country to the
northwest of us, and see for them
selves what has been done in the way
J. development during the past five
years, it would convince them of the
r?oe9sity of making Norfolk a jobbing
.vtter, and that right now.
Norfolk is the natural gateway to
Il vast empire which has developed so
rapidly that not half dozen men in
the city realize what lies at our very
doors. We know of Pierce and Knox
counties, because they have been set
tied a long time and we know that
they are rich and good. Boyd coun-
ty was not long in settling, but it is
one of the richest counties in the
state today, and it's farms and towns
show wonderful progress in the few
years they have been settled. But
after the South Dakota line is crossed
is where the marvel of the age be-
gins to make itself manifest.
Gregory county, which was only
opened for settlement five years ago,
is now as we'll developed and as
thickly settled as Madison county,
it's towns and farms are we'll devel-
Oped and up to date in every particu-
lar making them invaluable trade ter
ritory. And then there is Trip coun-
ty, the latest wonder of the world
in agricultural development. A farm
on every quarter section, progress
sive, ambitious class of people whose
wants are numerous and who are will
ing and able to pay for what they
get, makes an opportunity for Nor
folk as Wholesale center that was
never before offered to any town.
And the opportunity is now, and must
be taken advantage of now, not next
year or the year after, because we
are speaking of a country whose peo-
pie do things fast and have no time
for the indoleLt to wake up.
These same remarks have frequent
ly been made by The News, and it
is not expected there will be any
more results than before, but it does
seem a crying shame to allow as val
liable trade territory as now lies
at our door, fairly begging us to get
into position to supply their wants, to
be wasted in the slovenly manner
in which it is being done.

COLLEGE FRATERNITIEs.

The action of the authorities of the
University of Missouri to abolish the
Greek letter societies, will probably be
unsuccessful and do more harm than
good. 1t will likely result of sub-rosa
organizations, which will give an un,
wholesome tone because of their il
legal standing.
Greek letter fraternities have their
place in the modern university. They
provide a pleasant home for the stu.
dent who otherwise would have to
knock about in a lonesome way. They
give a circle of warm friendships that
last a lifetime.
There are youths who are injured
because of the idleness which the So
ciability of the fraternity may breed,
There are students who are benefited
by having a restraining influence over
them in the shape of their fratern-
ity.
On the whole they work for good,
and the modern university can't very
we'll keep them out.

he begins to grow red and saw the

it does not affect his business by a

The strong contrast between Mr..
Roosevelt's enthusiasm for Taft in

places the eXpresident in rather
awkward position. OF course, If he
and the president have parted com.
pany in their political views, Mr.,
Roosevelt is under no obligation to
back Mr.. Taft up. But the people at
large do not easily adjust themselves
to sudden changes. On the large
questions of the day, the two think
about alike, and the closer they get
together the easier it win be to cut
abuses out of the party.

THE NEW OIL ROAD.

The county commissioners of Madi-
son county are to be commended for
taking the progressive step which they
did take the other day when they
determined to build an oil road in
this county. While the road will be
but four miles long, to start with, the
experiment will unQuestionably result
in multiplying that stretch many times
in the course of a few years and be-
fore so very much longer Madison
county's highways will be a JOY to
the travellers and a source of eCOno-
my to the farmers.
The automobile has become a great
source of good road agitation, because
the auto is worthless in a country of
bad roads. And now that the farm
ers have become great purchasers of
the auto, we may expect a still great
er demand for better highways. al
though as a matter of fact, the need
of roads for the sake of cutting down
the expense of hauling the farm pro-
duce to market is still the greatest
factor to be considered.
Madison county, by action of its
commissioners, has been placed in
the forefront of Nebraska progressive
ness and here's hoping the movement
will spread like the measles.

Nebraska should send nothing but
republicans to congress from this

the unsettled condition of politics,
would prove misfortune to the
state and for which we would pay
abundantly. To send a United States
senator who is a republican to Wash

elect George n. Beels to the house
of representatives at Lincoln, and
Charles Mcleod as state senator, be

these two representatives that Madi
