financial situation is also somewhat
brighter, and there are a number of
farorable indications of late.

Conditions would seem to be as fav

their views and desires.
The M-nntorinl fleet Ion in New Mex

can popularity. The republic-ana won,
but by a very small plurality. The in
dication are that the party in power
has lost some ground, but that it can
still retrieve the situation by pmmpt
action. Th" people do not suem to feel
that retrenchment of expenses has
come fast enough; that business condi-
t'ons are satisfactory, but they have
not given up all hope of betterment
Their victory was the most sweeping
in history and they have not yet lost
alt their prestige, but it is evident
lhat they are losing instead of gain
ing, and a few more breuks like the
abolition of excess profits taxes, and
giving the larger part of tax reduc
tions to profiteers will cost theni their
kingdom regardless of the fact that in
some places they have made progress
in the right direction.
There are rumors that Senator
Hitchcock is about to attempt a tie-up
with the Bryan faction by a slate con
taining the name of Hitchcock for
senator and Allen for Governor. Did
it ever occur to the slatemakers that
democrats in general are tired of both
faction; that to their mismanagement
and personal bickerings they attribute
a large part of their past misfortunes;
that they have no confidence whatever
in Hitchcock as a leader that will
benefit the people, anil less in Tom
Allen! The Bryan faction endures Al
len because a number of them like the
Bryans, but none of them have as
much confidence in him as in Hitch
cock. Some new men as well as new
issues is what the democratic party
most needs. To go to battle under
old leaders diminishes good prospects
of success.

holds that labor l worrc injured than

very large share of such exactions.
This thing of a workman t-lr'' "ig to
hold prices where they will afi. l him
a permanent job, may be a new thing
but who will say that there is not some
.-ense in it.
A great deal of attention has been
given North Dakota since its capture
by the Non Partisan League, and
much has been said for and against
its policy. South Dakota is much less
known but. it also has enacted come
laws that are worthy of consideration
by sister states. They have a state
loan that enables its farmers to get
money about 2 per cent less than
formerly paid, and the charge is but
6 per cent for interest. The loans
have a fixed yearly payment, amor
tize and are fully paid at the end of
33 years. The amount loaned to each
man is limited to the $200,000 the
state advanced to start the system in
operation has been all paid back but
$35,000. If desired the loan can be
partly or wholly be paid off any time
after five years. There has been over
$30,000,000 loaned" and but one fore
closure.. At first there wai consider
able opposition from the bankers, but
its operation has made' business ' fo
much better for them irt other' ways
that; they are all satisfied and some
are enthusiastic over the new. law.
Aspirants for the legislature should
familiarize themselves with the terms
and workings of this law as it might
be the means of furnishing needed
development money for the western
part of the state.
the beginning such a plan might be .-o
conducted that it wouM make less
mistakes than the courts on a certain
class of cases, but from the manner in
wh eh the Klan must of necessity oper
ate in arriving at its conclusions, it
inu t in the end prove a failure, and
either this plan mu.-t give way to ocn
trials, or government itself must de
gtnerate into this form of anarchy.
The writer talked with a tailor who
commanded the highest individual
wages paid in San Francisco, anil who
was placed by one of the leading
house in charge of their workmen
making money for the firm, and by
turning out a satisfactory amount of
production keeping his bunch working
all the time at good wages. He ad
vanced a policy that has a new sound
as coming from working men. It was
that they not op'y be satisfied with
hours and wages that will produce
goods at a price the consumer can af
ford to pay but that labor strike to
compel reasonable prices. If the con-
A correspondent of the Lincoln
Star defends the Ku Klux, and says
the presumption is that they are a
( law abiding order and that as they are
a secret society there is no way to
find out whether they are or not It
occurs that had they not intended to
operate similarly to the old Ku Klux of
the Fouth, they would not have chosen
so discredited a name. The setting up
of a private tribunal for the trial of
crime, and misdemeanors without
hearing but one side of the evidence is
a form of treason, as the members
yield allegiance to their order rather
than their government, and if they un
dertake to punish in a cUfferent way
and dillerent degree from the consti
tuted authorities. Our legal procedure
is not always just, but from the na
ture of things is preferable to that of
secret tribunals who depend on state-
I mentr of interested or prejudiced peo
jple to take the place of evidence. In
The announcement that there will
ke a reduction on freight on fruits and
vegetables from the Pacific coast, is
more important on account of being
an Indication of change of policy than
fw any other reason though it means
much to the producers of a big section
as well as to consumers everywhere.
This meeting of reducing business
with increasing rates has been the
poorest kind of rolicy, and it is en
couraging to .;ee the transportation
companies preparing to prosper with
customers instead of at their expense.

Textile f;ictories, shoe factories and
many other suspended or partly sus-1

crease in commercial failures, and this
