OUR SOLDIER DEAD.

Once again the nation mourns its
soldier dead-the dead who bled and
fought and suffered that the stars
and stripes might be perpetuated.
1t is fitting that this great republic
should take day off to pay loving
tribute of honor to those brave souls
who saved this union. And all that we
can do--the placing of beautiful flor
al tokens upon their graves-is but
a slight tribute, indeed, when the suf
ferings that those men endured with
out fiinching, is recalled.
To them-the old soldiers, living
and dead, the United States owes 9
debt that it never, never can repay.

Unique Roadmakina Plan.

Judge William T.. Porter of Law
renee county. Pa, has a unique idea
for improving the roads. His plan is
a Jail on wheeIs-that is place where
prisoners can be locked up at night
and transported from place to place
and employed in roadmaking during
the day. He put his idea to test, and
the results were eminently satisfac-
tory. The prisoners graded away a
high hill on the West Pittsburg road
near Newcastle and constructed a
cement bridge over culvert eighty
feet long. The only expense to the
county from this bridge that would
ordinarily have cost thousands Of dol
lars was for the material and the serv-
ices Of an engineer. The men en-
ployed were sentenced from ten to
ninety days and were informed that
the sentence would be materially
lessened II they would work on the
roads and not attempt to escape, and
they worked.

CARE OF RoADWAYS.
They Should Always BE Dustless TO De
Considered IDEAL

Considered Ideal,
The good roads era has begun in
many states, and already the steam
roller. the piles OF crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out Of
the original roadway are familiar
sights in many OF the eastern states.
The roads built are generally OF APP
proved macadam construction, which,
completed, are perfect strips OF white
ribbon running through the green
fields and hills OF the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built, and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contcntedly sit back
and feel contented. This IL n serious
error and one being made In many
states.
Many fail TO realize that whenever
dust is raised road is being destroy
ed This is particularly the case on
smooth macadam surfaces, where there
is nothing to hold the dust on tho
road and where every cross wind
blows OF any loose material.
As soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them in
repair. Some dust preventive should
be used Immediately macadam roads
are completed In order to prevent dust.
Oil, tar and many special prepnra-
tons are now on the market, and the
communities should be educated to
look upon these additions as n legiti-
mate part OF the road maintenance.
California has its oiled roads, over
which motoring Is a pleasure to the
motorist and not dust path to the
citizen who happens to be on the road
the same day or who has the misfor-
tune to reside along n well travelled
highway.
Massachusetts has proved that road
treatments are success and more
economical than continuous applica-
lions Of water, and in England dust
preventing is always considered
part Of the road problem.

New Dust Layer.

Vice Consul W. Washington Bruins
wick furnishes the following informa-
ton concerning experiments made In
ChemnitZ with German anti-dust
sprinkler:
During the last summer extensive
experiments were made with anti
staubit" to prevent dusty roads in
Chemnitz The material was bought
by the city from potash works at
Ascherseben and cost $261S per met
ric ton of 22,046 pounds. The anti
staubit is sprinkled over the road by
means of the ordinary street sprinkling
cart. After carefully cleaning the
street and moistening the material
with water it Is thus strewn when
first applied. and for each square me-
ter about one kilo 90 pounds per lO.S
square feet is required. All subse-
Iuent sprinkling is done with solu-
ton of 80 per cent water. According
to the experience of the Chemnitz
street cleaning department the dust
preventing effect OF anti-staubit lasted
from twelve to twentyfour days, ac-
cording to the amount of traffic and
the general condition OF the streets.

Europe is not only being greatly
benefited and built up by the millions
that American heiresses hand over to
their titled husbands and the other
millions that American tourists fur
nish, but now it is being discovered
that millions more are being sent for
ward to European countries by the
immigrants who have become pros
porous here. In Sicily, in Hungary, in
Russia, whole villages are being trans
formed and made flourishing by the
small individual amounts sent back to
relatives from this side of the water.
Not only is liberty here enlightening
the world but opportunity is swinging
wide the gates of cheer and hope, not
only to the thousands who come, but
the many who stay in the old coun'
tries.

appointment.
Are you getting the genuine article,
or the spurious imitation? Then is
this to be remembered: Genuine hap
piness does not cost anywhere as
much as the false variety.
Perhaps the only one to be en-
We'd, and yet the one least envied, is
the one whose ideals are humblest
and best fit into the hearts. For true
happiness consists not in the multi
plication of material wants, but in
the simplification of them. There is
likely to be more of 1t in simple
wayside flower than in conservatory
filled with exotics; more of II In the
singing of a wild bird than in the
braying of brass bands; more of it
in the workingman's bowl of bread
and milk than in the sumptuous
spread designed for the perverted pal
ate of the rich; more in the tremu-
lous 81 like you" OF modest youth
or maiden than in the dramatic II

True happiness lies not in what
the eyes may see, the ears may hear,
| the palate tastes and the hands hold,
| but in the soul that senses these
things.
And he who thinks he must toot
the big brass horn or beat the bass
drum to be happy will find the whole
show of life delusion and a disap.
pointment.

HIGHWAY OF THE FUTURE.
One Constructed Of a Material Durable
For Heavy Motor Traffic.


All road builders are now engaged
In trying to devise road which will
stand motor traffic. Many new meth
DDS have been tried with varying de-
grees of success, but none of them
seems to be perfectly satisfactory.
If broken stone is TO form the wear
ing surface, then some means must
be found to hold the binding particles
so firmly that they cannot be sucked
out, and sufficient strength must be
given to the mass to enable it to with
stand the sliding action of the wheels
at bends and turns. Several kinds of
tar macadam answer fairly well, but
they are expensive.
1t would seem that the most prOmis.
ing kind of road for heavy automobile
traffic is what is called durax in Eng
land. 1t is Il pavement of three inch
irregular cubes of hard stone laid in
small segments Of circles.
These stones can be cut by machin-
cry and are comparatively inexpen-
sive. They are laid without grout.
but there seems to be no reason for
it's omission except the cost Great
quantities Of this kind of pavement
have been laid in Germany.

THE PAVING is UP TO YOU.

The paving bonds will carry if Nor
folk will get out the vote.
That seems to be accepted as a
fact.
All Norfolk wants the paving. And
consequently it seems fairly sure that
all Norfolk will make it a point to
turn out to the polls on Tuesday and
give the small bond issue needed for
intersections, an overwhelming ma
jority.
If every citizen of the city will only
make himself a committee of one, the
bonds will carry by a splendid margin.
But indifference may cost the defeat
of the paving, And every man who
favors the upbuilding of Norfolk will

LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK,

The News is not friendly to prohi-
the idea Of county option. Nebraska
has the best liquor law in the United
States today, and we are much bet
ter off than Kansas and Oklahoma,
with their prohibition laws, and their
slack methods of enforcement. The
Slocumb law with the s o'clock clos
ing proposition, comes about as near
controlling the liquor question as is
possible. But portion of the demo
Gratis are following Mr.. Bryan in his
new county option fad and the same
element in the other party seems de-
termined to force the issue upon the
republicans. We do not believe coun-
ty option by legislative action is 60
ing to satisfy its adherents when they
get it. 1t is perhaps true that the
time has come when Nebraska should
! take up the question and settle it,
otherwise the agitation will continue
indefinitely with its consequent ten
dency to keep business interests, polit-
ical parties and communities in I'M
profitable turmoil.
If the question must be met now, it
would be much better for each politi-
cal party to incorporate in it's plat
form plank promising that the leg
| islature at it's session next winter will
agree to submit to a vote of the peo-
pie constitutional amendment pro-
viding for statewide prohibition. Coun-
ty option is a cowardly make-shift at
| best and it would be far better to
have statewide prohibition, doing
away with the strife between neigh
| bOrs who live on opposite sides of
county lines and the county line road
adoption of county option. Let the
question be submitted to vote of
the whole people of the state, which
puts it squarely up to everyone as to
whether we want prohibition or not.
This is the only fair way to meet the
question, and the responsibility for
the result will rest with every voter
in the state, not with few members
of the legislature
AS the matter stands now, both the
leading political parties are split upon
the question. In both parties there
is faction trying to secure the nomi-
nation of candidates for the legisla-
ture pledged to county option, while
another faction in either party is en-
deavoring to elect men opposed to the
proposition. Before the campaign is
over this situation is going to lead
to chaotic condition of affairs, if it
may not be said that they are already
so, and frequently will lead to the
defeat of the regular nominees and
the election of Independents.
This whole proposition might be
nightly simplified by all parties
agreeing to submit the question to a
vote of the people, applying Mr.. Bry.
ans principle of initiative and refer.
endum, if you please-where 1t right
ly belongs.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Whatever sectional differences may
remain in this country, it is a source
of satisfaction that the veterans of
either side are always able to get to-
gether and find some basis of common
sympathy. During recent years many
of the G. A. II. reunions have been
held on southern soil, and the vet.
Grams have always been treated with
respect. Were confederate veterans
to hold reunions in the northern states,
they would receive the same deferen.
tial treatment.
After all, sectional differences are
usually the work of politicians. Men
that stood up to be shot at did so in
any case from pure motives. Every
man who has been through that ter.
rife experience has more in common
with the fellow on the other side who
assumed the same hazards, than he
has with the man of his own party
who stayed at home when the call was
ringing through the land or than he
has with the younger man born since
that time, who has no conception OF
the sufferings of that grim epoch. Let
us all, therefore, in every state re
cognize heroism and self-sacritice
wherever we find it.

THE PAVING, 9 CENTS A YEAR.

ll1E PAVING, ZEN > - FAN.
If you pay $40 year in taxes this
year, your share of the expense of
paving seven blocks on Norfolk ave-
nue. will be 8 cents a year for the
next ten years and 81 cents year for
the ten years after that. The total
cost of the entire job to you, with
twenty years to pay it, will be $3.50.

one cigar a year to have Norfolk S

man in the entire city of Norfolk who
will vote against those bonds?

The Pacific coast records the larg-
est salmon pack ever known. 1t is
thought by those who have studied
the matter that the depletion of the
Boring sea seal herds has an import
ant bearing on the increasing supply
of salmon. AS these herds of seal
go north to their breeding grounds
they instinctively follow the run of
salmon and fishermen estimate that
the greedy seal kills his weight in
salmon every day. While the eXtermi-
nation of the seal is to be deplored
it is some compensation to have so
delicious a fish as the salmon increases.
