General regret is felt throughout
the nation as well as the state of
New York that Governor Hughes
should decline to again be a candidate
and declare his decision to retire from
public life. Few men have been so
highly regarded for their sterling char,
acter and unimpeachable honesty cou,
pied with high order of ability. Mr.
Hughes has been popularity spoken of
as presidential possibility in 1912. Be
that as it may, he has resolved to
resume the practice of law at the
close of his present term and try to
place his family on safe financial

THOSE POLICIES.

There is a whole lot of confusion
in the public mind in regard to Mr..
Taft and the Roosevelt policies that
has no foundation whatever, in fact.
There has been a great deal of cheap
oratory and more of loose writing in,
dulged in to give the impression that
President Taft was not in sympathy
with the ideas of Theodore Roosevelt.
1t has been boldly asserted that he has
surrendered to the interests" and
could not be counted upon to carry
on the contest for the general welfare
OF the people so courageously waged
by his fearless predecessor.

The underlying factor in the wheat
market which has so far been sue
cessful in holding prices up, is the
pronounced disposition of the farmer
to exact the maximum price for his
wheat. SO far through the season he
has refused to sell on the declines
and has sold only a moderate quanti-
ty on the advances. The adjustment
between supply and demand has been
so closely maintained by this selling
policy that the wheat surplus in sight
remains abnormally small.

HOW ABOUT FREIGHT RATES?

1t is generally believed in Norfolk
that this city is Disseminated against
in the matter of freight rates in favor
of Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City and
Fremont.
1t is likewise generally believed that
the railroads, by refusing to treat Nor
folk fairly in the matter of freight
rates, are preventing the citys devel-
oping into the wholesaling and manu-
featuring center which its wonderfully
advantageous geographical location
ought otherwise to make it.
There is an interstate commerce
commission at Washington whose duty
it is to correct determinations of this
kind.
Norfolk business men believe Nor
folk has a case. The News believes
Norfolk has case and that if the case
were once brought to the attention of
the interstate commerce commission
the city would be given relief. Attor.
ney Harry Bronze, who was employed
by the Commercial club two years ago
to start the case which later was al
lowed to drop, gave it as his opinion
that Norfolk was being done a gross
injustice and that he could win the
case for the city.
Norfolk believes that it will never
attain the growth to which its natural
advantages entitle it, until the matter
of freight rates is adjusted.
Two years ago the Commercial club
under A. J. Durland's presidency, start
ed a fight for this adjustment. Rail
way employees came before the club
and requested that the matter be held
in allegiance until September of that
year, because they said they feared
agitation would reduce their wages.
The club granted that request. When
September came Mr.. Durland was not
at home, and the matter of freight
rates was dropped. 1t has never been
taken up since.
Norfolk is now starting new year.
The Commercial club could do nothing
of so much benefit to the city as to go
after and win more favorable freight
rates. And the time seems ripe just
now, when Norfolk's territory is ex-
banding so that wholesale center is
practically demanded here by north
Nebraska and southern South Dakota,
for the Commercial club to center its
efforts upon this one paramount ques-
ton and throw the real Norfolk spirit
of push and enterprise into the move
ment with the intention of taking the
city out of the small town class and
place it where it rightly belongs as the
trading center as well as the geograph-
ical center of north Nebraska.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP.

1t is easy to decry present conditions
and to paint them in dark colors.
1t requires no master hand to point
out the weak places and then to draw
from all this the deduction that we
live in a very degenerate age and
that politically, socially and morally
we are going to the bad rapidly.
1t is rather the fad just now in some
otherwise very estimable circles to
make business of this sort of thing.
Now, no one denies that there could
be and ought to be vast improvement
in our public and private thinking and
living. But he who imagines that the
American people are going to crown
with laurel leaves mere phophets of
evil, however gifted, however honest
they may be, is to have a rude awak-
ening.
