of great anxiety to all business Inter

ues until the produce of the soil ii
safely harvested , for after all It Is the
products of the soil which form the
foundation of our prosperity.

THE Y. M. C. A. FUND.
The Y. M. C. A. fund Is growing
and the prospects become brighter
and brighter for securing such an in
stitution. Norfolk has seldom gone
Into anything of the public improve
ment nature that did not succeed.
There is reason to believe that the
Y. M. C. A. fund will succeed. There
is no reason now to believe anything
else.
Already more than half the required
mnount tms been subscribed. And
there are many persons yet to be en
listed in the work , from whom good
sized contributions have every reason
to come.
Norfolk badly needs a Y. M. C. A.
with all of Us advantages. The gym
nasium feature will be worth a great
deal.
NORFOLK , CONVENTION CITY.
Norfolk may well feel cheerful over
the success that Is crowning the ef
forts put forth to secure more conven-
tlons. For the past several months
the campaign directed along this line
has been more than satisfactory , and
has given every reason to hope that
this line of enterprise may grow still
more.
A couple of months ago we had the
state Y. M. C. A. convention. A little
later came the republican congression
al convention. Then came the north
Nebraska teachers. Next the bankers
of northeast Nebraska came to town.
Shortly the state convention of the
U. C. T. will be here. Hard upon the
heels of that will come the state con
vention of Eagles. North Nebraska
doctors and north Nebraska dentists
will be along in the summer and fall.
And in January comes the state convention -
vention of volunteer firemen.
That is "going some" in the matter
of landing conventions. Norfolk has
been able to take care of all of them
In splendid manner. Every convention
advertises Norfolk. Every delegate in
every convention goes home to talk
about Norfolk and the impressions
gained here. Every convention is
worth while. The more conventions ,
the more prominently will Norfolk be
brought before the people of the state.
Never has Norfolk had the pleasure
of entertaining so many conventions
as now. And the effort to secure more
and more of them should continue ag
gressively.
PLANT A TREE.
In the numerous special days which
are already in the American calendar
there Is none perhaps more beautiful
in its inception than that of Arbor
Day , a Nebraska idea conceived by
J. S'terllng Morton of Arbor Lodge. It
Is the modern thought of civic art
which expresses Itself in a combin
ation of beauty and utility.
There Is nothing in this wide world
which nature affords that has in it
such possibilities of blessing as a
growing flourishing tree. If it is a
fruit tree the owner sees In it the
promise of golden apples , luscious
peaches , mellow pears or something
else which delights the palate and
gives health and gladness to the user.
If it is a shade tree , its growth means
Increasingly , as the years go on , a
larger measure of rest and refresh
ment to those who linger beneath its
branches.
Nebraska should and does welcome
each recurring Arbor Day. On these
broad beautiful stretches of prairie
nothing Is so much needed to add
completeness to the landscape as
trees and their development There
has been a great change since the
days of the early pioneers. Then as
far as the eye could reach In many
places only the tall prairie grass nod
ded In the wind and the vision of
man was unobstructed by a single
tree. But long ere this blessed trees
have been planted and now dot the
towns and the country side with a
shade and a beauty which Is familiar.
But with trees , it Is as with people
In a trolley car "there Is always
room for one more. " Moreover , there
Is need and place for them.
The school children should not be
left alone to add to Nebraska's wealth
*
of foliage , but there should be a gen-
tral tree planting crusade on , Arbor
Day. ,
ees and flowers and chldren are
natural companions and allies. They
servo to make the world an Eden.
One could not think of paradise with
out overspreading branches , quiet
walks , abundant fruit and retreats.
Rippling brooks are there , broad acres
of fertile soil and luxuriant grasses ,
meadows In which grow most bril
liant and many hued flowers , but
above everything else , commanding
the situation and serving us the key
note of Its charms and fascinating
power are tall kingly trees. It Is
such a glimpse of heaven on earth
that every man's homo ought to con
vey. It Is through avenues along
cither side of which are well trimmed
trees which form an arch from which
the sun Is hidden In the heat of the
day that every city ought to be n
hint of the New Jerusalem.
Such homes Norfolk Invites and
such a city , whose beauty Is made
royal by Its glorious well situated
trees. Norfolk can become If each
one will enter Into the spirit of this
glad spring Arbor Day.
Plant a tree and then care for it
while It grows to bless you and pos
j
terity.
MEN OF POWER.
All power is relatlvo'and every class
of men have1 a share of It. There is
nothing on this planet which repre
sents more of that which men crave
than they do power. The names of
Napoleon among warriors , of Shakes
peare among llterateurs , of Moody and
Beecher among preachers , of John
Plerpont Morgan among financiers are
recognized as great because they arc
synonymous with that kind of dyna
mic personal force which is able to
change the map of the world , epito
mize and make graphic the virtues and
foibles of humanity , direct human life
to the highest Ideals and endeavor , or
check a panic which threatens the
business life of a great nation.
Along many different avenues run
powers which make men potential
actors in nr uldlng the world's destiny.
It is not for us to say which is the
most important or valuable when so
many different qualities are essential
If the welfare of the race is to be pro
moted. One is not to be minimized or
the other unduly magnified. But it is
to be conceded that in a complex civili
zation llko that which' the Anglo-Saxon
in free America enjoys at the be
ginning of the twentieth century
there are many very necessary factors
each one in its way needed and
vital to the general welfare.
Today Norfolk welcomes to its hos
pitality the state bankers association
of Nebraska. The city is proud of the
opportunity. It recognizes in the
bankers who shall meet here for de
liberation and recreation , men of pow
er. This age is sometimes decreed
cr
as commercial. And yet history re
cords with unerring accuracy that com
merce has been the consistent courier ,
advance agent and friend of Christian
ity and all that makes life worth liv
ing. ' Bankers in this state , as in the
other states of the union , are among
Its desirable citizens. As a class they
stand for unimpeachable integrity pub
lic spirit and good citizenship. No
class of men more thoroughly possess
the ' confidence of the entire commu
nity. They have in the recent past
proved their right to this confidence.
Here in this new and untrammeled
west , they are the counsellors and ad
visors of men in every department
of business.
The bankers of .Nebraska are not
mere adding machines , computing their
gains day by day. They are the con
servators of the public weal and do
their full share In the development of
the resources of this splendid common
wealth. They are m < ft of intelligence ,
integrity and enterprise.
Norfolk delights to do them honor !
The homes and the hearts of the people
ple accord them a cordial greeting.
The News , in behalf of all , bespeaks
for them a pleasant stay and profitable
deliberation in the great practical
questions which they will consider.
RAISING SHEEP OR HADES.
What a man finds in this country
is what he is looking for. It's true the
world over and yet somehow or other
there has grown up the idea that men
who make no effort to do anything
for society except to cause It trouble
and bring disaster upon It are not to
bo held responsible but on the other
hand are the wards of society. The
spirit permeates many communities
and many people that this class need
special care. More than this , these
are the people who complain most
bitterly against social wrongs. They
get the most kindly treatment and do
it at the expense of others.
If men would only understand that
there is opportunity In this free broad
land for -every energetic , Industrious ,
healthy man to gain success we should
not have as large a class of the shift
less and unemployed and incompetent
on our hands as we do. Industry now ,
as It has In the generations that are
past , coupled with honesty and per
sistency , will win out against great
odds.
There needs to be a tremendous
awakening on the part of thousands
of our people , especially those who
herd together In great centers of pop
ulation , that there are still golden op
portunities for them on the broad ex
panses of land which are yet unculti
vated In almost every section of the
union. What Is needed IB personal
Initiative.
The Los Angeles Times tolls an In
teresting story of a poor Italian Im
migrant who came to southern Call-
.fornla a few years ago. He sought
work and found It. Ho worked for
low wages , but he managed In the
course of a fenjenrs to save a little
money. This he invested In land and
this land he cultivated. It brought
him constantly bettor returns and ns
fast ns he could he Invested his gains
In more land and extended his area
of cultivation. Hw put other men to
work until he had gained n largo prop
erty. A few weeks ago he died In
his old home In Milan , Italy , and left
a fortune estimated at several million
dollars. And this man , while perhaps
his success was phenomenal , was SUP
rounded In California by large colonies
of Italians and Germans who have taken -
on up lands there and prospered be-
yoml nil their dreams. They lead the
simple life. They have raised sheep
and cattle , planted vineyards and gathered -
ered acres of beans. They are In
dustrious , they are obedient to the
laws and are In every way worthy ,
self respecting American citizens.
Compare these people with the men
and women who are preaching violence
lence in the great cities ; who throng
the streets by thousands , shiftless ,
indolent , and turbulent. The differ
ence is that which makes for civili
zation on the one hand and for an
archy on the other. These herds of
people in the great centers are cramp
ed in their lives. They have no fu
ture which holds out any promise to
them ; they have given up the race
and In their despair have become fac
tors for the destruction of society.
They are In marked contrast with
the people who on the lands through
out the west and south have gained
comfort and prosperity. This class
of the submerged found in the cities
are moneyless. These people on the
lands own their homos , acquire prop
erty , are Interested In the upbuilding
of their community. One class makes
bombs ; the other makes money. One
raises sheep and beans and vines ; the
other at the end of a lifetime and for
long years before has gathered a
crop of misery , of despair , of bitter
hatred against others , of loss of char
acter , of Hades.
When men rail at society In a
country like America , as a rule their
grievance is an unjust one. Opportunity -
tunity awaits men here. The broad
prairies of Nebraska , to say nothing
of the other great states which sur
round it , are needing and demanding
the energy and industry of thousands
for their proper development. More
over , the rewards are certain , but they
are not for the shiftless , the indolent
and those who are looking for some
thing else. It is still true that men
choose their paths for themselves and
find themselves at the goal they set
out to win.
WHAT IS AMERICANISM ?
It is always a difficult proposition to t
define with accuracy any term which
is In everybody's mouth. Americanism
carries with it an impression which
we think is easily expressed and which
we really have a very clear idea of in
our minds. We know what it is our
selves and yet like life and truth ,
simple as they are , standing for what
we understand in a sense , an exact
definition is difficult.
Nevertheless , let us attempt to find
an answer to the question , What is
Americanism ? In a word , it is an in
telligent and perceptive comprehen
sion of the great basic principles which
make for the highest welfare of hu
manity. It embodies and combines a
love of liberty with a high respect for
law and order ; an Intense ambition to
get ahead in the world coupled with
an honest desire to help others very
definitely and elevate our fellows as
far as fortune and honest industry
favor us , Americanism is not unbridled f
license , where every man can do as
he pleases ; it is not a spirit of tyran
ny of the many against the few or the
few against the other man's possibil-
.ies ; it is .not anything that is mean
jr low or unfair , either in private life
or in the conduct of government. .
Americanism is the highest privi
lege yet accorded to any people in
humanity's struggle for the democracy
of opportunity as well as the democ
racy of liberty and is a birthright
such as no other people were born to.
There Is no question but what at
the present time there Is a most tre
mendous call for the teaching of Amer
icanism. It has not been understood
In the past as fully as It might be.
Even those who have been born heirs
of ' such a privilege are just beginning
to comprehend Its significance. If this "
be true , how much patience and care
and helpfulness do the thousands need
e
who are pouring into this country from
other lands , who do not know the A
B C's of individual responsibility In
public affairs. How can they ? They
have been repressed and beaten back
and defeated and now when they are
coming unto their own , to that land
of liberty where every man has the
chance to make the most of himself
and of his environment , they are many
times confused , bewildered and revo
lutionary. They have come from lands
where the law of might prevails , and
what they need to understand is that
here the law of might is to give way
to the simple , but nobler law of right
The * recent disturbances in several
of the great cities of the country In
which the only wonder Is that the
tragedy had not been more terrible ,
come to us like the tolling of a bell ,
ns n warning of worse thing * to come
unless we take unto our hearts and
Into our lives these people who have
been less favored than we.
America Is not an Ideal government.
It Is a long ways from being a Kuto-
pin , but nevertheless It stands In the
forefront of the world's progress and
In Its Institutions and Us conceptions
of liberty and Justice nro wrapped the
world's hopes. Hero democracy Is on
trial as never before. Eighty millions
of people lu this generation and many
millions more In the generations to
come nro helping each In his own way
to solve the problem of a government
which shall bo ruled absolutely In the
interests of the many. If It Is to be
successful the many must be fit to
rule , not some of the people , but all
of the people. On their virtue and
their Intelligence rests the destiny of
ultimate America. To teach the
strangers that are coming to us con
stantly this great truth , that they
aloug with us and their descendants
are the Caesars who shall rule the
land , is our most potent interest as
well as our subllmcst duty.
And we need all the help we can
get to do this teaching. In Kansas
City is a learned priest of the Roman
Catholic church , a Croatian by birth ,
but an American citizen by ado'ption.
He has translated recently the two
volumes of Bryco's "American Com
monwealth" into Croatian. His ex
ample is worthy of recognition and
highest commendation. It Is through
such means ns this , as well ns the
thousand and one lesser ways , in
which everyone of us can help , that
we can speed the day when Ameri
canism will be more clearly understood
and defined in the hearts and minds
of the millions who live under the pro
tecting folds of Old Glory.
AROUND TOWN.
Don't lose track of that old saying
about rain on Easter Sunday and the
seven Sundays afterward !
Doc Mackay will probably bo a be

been announcing the death of an Eas

Considering the cleverness and the
attractiveness of the young fellows at

to find prospective wives. Nobody
would ever think Frank Jackson would

to find a girl who would have him.
It Is said that Emll Prlbenow , who
was dumped out of a boat Into sixty
feet of water below the dam , and
who can't swim , managed to save his
pipe as well ns his life. He went
under the water two distinctive times
but he remembered through it all that
the pipe had cost $2 and bo deter
mined to keep it. His hands were
busy clinging to the boat , once he got
plpestera firmly in his teeth and
brought It safely , though damply , ;

rode in on the same train , and they
were downhearted and blue. It hadn't
rained and it wouldn't rain , and a
drouth was coming and they couldn't
sell goods. They got into a .Jjotel bus
and started up town. Of a sudden
there came the gentle patter of rain
drops on the roof of the hack. Then
the rain grew heavier. Within five
minutes these drummers were differ
ent men. Their faces lost the worried
look and their eyes took on a new
look. Good cheer drove away their
blues. You can't tell me that it
wasn't a million dollar rain and then
some. "

DEATH OF CHARUS A. MADSEN
Popular Young Man Succumbs to
Tuberculosis at Mother's Home.
Charles Madsen , a young man
raised In Norfolk and beloved by everyone -
eryone who knew him , died a few mln
utes before 11 o'clock Monday night
at the home of his mother , Mrs. Anna
Madsen , 410 Madison avenue. Brought
home that bis last days might be
spent at his mother's home , among
brothers and sisters and friends , in
the town where nearly all of his life
was spent , be reached here but five
days before the summons of death
came.
Charles Madsen died of tuberculo
sis , growing out of an attack of pneu
monia a year ago Inst winter. Last
winter the firm for which he traveled ,
Parke , Davis & Company , sent him
south on a special assignment to give
him a chance to regain his health.
He worked until eight weeks ago
when he went up to a ranch high in
the mountains of New Mexico. He
became rapidly worse. Friends finally
wrote to Norfolk advising his rela-
tlves of his exact condition. A sister ,
Mrs. J. G. Troutman , tuuit the first
train south. She moved her .brother
to another part of New Mexico at
once , went with him to Denver and
finally when everything seemed of no
benefit came with him to Norfolk.
Charles Albert Madsen was born In
Norfolk on December 18 , 1879. In
1898 he graduated from the Norfolk
nigh school. One of his classmates
was Carroll Powers , whose tragic
drowning occurred in the Northfork
two years ago. Among his other
classmates were A. Klmball Barnes ,
Corl Jenkins of Madison , Dr. W. H.
Pilger of this city and Herbert Dan
iel , now city attorney of Omaha.
When nineteen Mr. Madsen became
a registered pharmacist under the Ne
braska law. He was the youngest
pharmacist ! in the state at that time.
In Norfolk he worked in the drug
store first conducted by C. M. For
ney J , and later by George B. Chrlstoph.
He left the drug store to go on the
road ! for Parke , Davis & company.
He won advancement as a commercial
:
traveler. The company made him
:
field ! director for Illinois and placed
five salesmen under him. His head
quarters were in Peoria , 111.
. Charles Madsen was iin the Irlquols
theater on the afternoon of the terrible
.
ble theater 'fire. ' He was on the first
floor of the theater and was swept
out with the rush of humanity. In
the ' jam at the theater door he was
rendered unconscious and did not
come to fpr some little time. He was
carried to a nearby restaurant.
Mr. Madsen is survived by his
mother and by the following brothers
and sisters : Mrs. Hanna Troutman ,
Norfolk ; Mrs : Rose Collins , St. Louis ;
Fred Madsen , Norfolk ; Chris Madsen ,
Chicago ; Edward Madsen , Missouri
Valley ; George Madsen , Norfolk ; Al
Madsen , Norfolk ; Miss Opal Madsen ,
Norfolk.
Charles Madsen was a Mason , a
member of the local lodge of' Elks ,
the Knights of Pythias and the Illi
nois traveling men's association. He
belonged to 'the ' Episcopal church.

Dr. Klusey IK bringing the world
famous Hot Springs byHlem of all
home treatment to Norfolk TJilH
wonderful treatment has n national
reputation as is attested by the fact
that the United States government
owns the Hot Springs of ArkanMiH
and has established its army and imvy
hospitals there where soldiers HTM !
sailors are sent after all other meth
ods have failed to euro , and Dr. Kin-
soy holds a government license to
treat chronic diseases.
The Hot Springs doctors tnnt
chronic diseases of the heart , lunw.
liver , nerves , blood , kidneys , htomaoh ,
Including rheumatism , paralysis , neu
ralgia , gall stones , piles , goiter , rup
ture , and diseases of women , nmf
diseases of men. The Hot Springs tyn-
tom Is all home treatment and can tin
used anywhere In any home without
Inconvenience ' , annoyance or publicity
and without detaining the patient
from his or her usual business occu
pation. This treatment has cured
thousands of patients , many of. whom
have been given up to die by other
doctors.
Dr Kinsey solicits only difficult
cnbi" . casts' that other doctors h.wo
failed to cure anilhaw1 given up tut
hopeless , but only such cases aH are
curable ( by the Hot Springs system of
nil home treatment will be ucceptffl
as It is the invariable rule of the Hot
Springs doctors to accept no Incur
able rase for treatment. If after a
careful examination your cane IM
found to be curable you will be nc-
copted for treatment for the bare rout
of medicine used. If your case is In
curable you will not be accepted for
treatment nt any price or under any
condition.
Not only is this Hot Springs system
of all home treatment endorsed bytbo
United States government but by the
newspapers , clergy , and businessmen
throughout the country.
If you are skeptical write to the
Hot Springs doctors for the unincH
and addresses of patients whom they
have cured , and you will be furnished
with as many as you may desire to
Investigate.
