We could hardly hope for a higher price grains by reducing the tariff on anything; neither could we expect any larger yield. We venture the assertion that North Dakota has the largest hunch of satisfied citizens of any state in the union, and it is very doubtful whether they would be willing to exchange the prosperity of today and the republican party for new and disastrous policies with not!i ing to win and everything to l.we. The wise and conservative citizenship can be depended upon to say "I will not tamper with the prosperity that we have in order to aid the political ambitions of any man." Let good enough alone. Plaza, N. I). Pioneer. The present insurgent movement reminds one so much of the free silver movement several years ago that they look like twin brothers. Who wants to run for the legislature this fall? Speak up gentlemen. Don't be bashful. The time will soon be here, and it is a great thing to serve the people in the legislative halls. What difference does it make wheth er Joe Cannon continues as speaker of the house or not. It will be only about throe months till the base ball season opens and the fact that a man is an insurgent won't cut any figure as long as he root's for the home team. regaining political sanity, for an insurgent or a deserter deserves the political death that always is sure to follow as one of the just judgment to derilicts. Falls City Journal. It is mighty easy to get up and criticise n man in a meeting of con genial spirits, especially when the man you are criticising is absent, but when that criticism comes out in hold, bad, black type in a newspaper somehow the remarks don't look or Hound nearly as cute. Some of our friends up at the capital city are discovering that fact. Conditions at this time indicate that there will be an attempt for a better understanding between the pre.'i.lent and those who have been opposing him. The fact is that there has been altogether too much that i sensational sent out by the different correspondents holding forth at Wash ington. They recognize the fact that a war, whether it be political or otherwise, gives them a better chance to earn their salaries and their papers chance to sell more of their products of the print shop. An announcement that the president and the insurgents have got together and the difficulties settled should be hailed with delight by everybody who has at heart the welfare of the country and who be lieves in the ability of the republican party to continue the prosperity of the country. Hon. George C. Junkin, Sectetary of State has been mentioned as a candidate for congress from his dis trict. Junkin is one of those sort of men who generally says what he thinks and after saying it proposes to stay by it. We don't know just exactly which district he lives in, but it is somewhere between the Missouri river and the western line of Nebraska. It doesn't cut much ice just the locality for the gentleman is broad minded enough to cover the whole state. If we mis take not it is the Fifth district which is lucky enough to own the secretary of state as a citizen and Ciosper is the name of the county. It is richly amusing to read the names of the men who held that insurgent meeting condemning Senator Hurkett, at Lincoln recently and see the names of men, so many of them who were openly supporting Mr. We believe that the very worst thing that could have happened is for those men who for years have been called republicans, and many of them have been entitled to be so called, was to call that meeting at Lincoln a few days ago for the purpose of getting the scalp of Senator Hurkett. We be lieve it a very unwise move for any one who believes in upholding the republican party to call a meeting of discontented men for the purpose of private or political gain. The fact has been demonstrated that that meeting was called for the purpose and for. the defeat of Senator Hurkett and the boosting of some other man. The men themselves who called that meeting cannot point to anything in the political life of Senator Hurkett which would warrant the calling of a meeting of this kind for the purpose of defeating him for reelection. A meet ing of this kind can result in hut one thingand that is the probable election of W. J. Bryan to the United State The meeting called in Lincoln next week for the purpose of forming an insurgents league or more properly speaking to inagurate a howl against the administration of President Taft is about the biggest fool thing that has ever happened in the state of Nebraska sincethe wild Indian roamed tho prairies and the buffalo chewed grass along the banks of the mighty Platte. Just as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the men responsible for that, meeting will sec the day when they will wish they were dead and will find a home in the in the ranks of democracy. The man who expects to some day ask of the republican party the privilege of representing it either in the state house of Nebraska or at Washington should consider seriously what he is doing before he aids in making that meeting a success. Kvcry Democrat paper in the state is giving that meet ing as wide advertising as they can for they see in it a chance that the democratic party may obtain what has been denied them by the people, so long. The success of that meeting will mean continued democratic conducted institutions in the state and in all probability a full democratic repre sentation from Nebraska in Congress Nave the republicans of Nebraska so soon forgotten the six years of demo- popo control brought about by just exactly such acts as republicans are now committing? by the machinations of some politi cian who thinks by taking a certain stand he can get glory therby. There has been nothing in the administrat ion of President Taft which would warrant any republican in going back upon his administration. The charge has been made that he is, or has been, friendly to Speaker Cannon. That has been the sole hone of contention and the foundation on which other things have been built upon. The administration of President Taft is not yet a year old. In that time he has had many important questions to meet and solve. In that time he has not only had questions to solve which would have been hard to solve with his friends around him, but he has hail to solve them en- eonipaseu aoout by enemies, and most of them within his own party. hey have not only made life miser able for him in Washington, but they avc endeavored to turn the country against him. In this they have been ably seconded by the country press in many instances. Instead of giving democratic assistance to carry our ic president to understand that tiny republican pledges. were with him, and that they could be ponded to. help l.im carry out the lings which the party had pledged io people to carry out, they have As the editor of a populist paper at one time in the days of long ago, we have no apology to offer. Like many a wak-knccd brother now posing as sought to discredit him, and why. i an -insurgent we thought we were localise circumstances have been such right in advocating reduction in that he has appeared to he trienuly i freight rates and some of tho oilier to tho speaker of the house, the man j things which ti e popuIiMs got down to whom he must look to see that his j on their knees and prayed for and recommendation were put properly j then when they got a chance to have before congress.

Those who still cling to the old machine all claim to be pro gressives, because public senti ment is largely in that direct ion. The fight they will make will bo of the bushwhacking variety. Our old friend Pell Barrows, who is running the Plattsmouth News for ex Congressman Pollard, comes the nearest to being unashamed of his position of any we know. He stands up and boldly cham pions Uncle Joe Cannon, and says the insurgents are no bet ter than democrats. Bell is bound to be radical wherever he is He takes his politics straight When he run a Pop paper in Albion, he went the full length of radical Popism. When he changed his politics his baptism was no sprinkling affair, but complete immersion. There is never any doubt as to whore ' he stair.! on any proposition. And he is always ready to defer.. 1 his position. ' Tliat's v. whole lot more connner.i'.u'Je than the two-faced pohcy way many noliticans and editors haye."

V.-UICII no i i c It. 'ee ;i.-,m A. we i;.: I T-t--nd '. ' lation which they demand. ' There is no bushwhacking in the stand the friends of President Jaft have taken. There can be none. The bushwhacking has all been done by the oppositien to the president. The editor of this paper has never been a Cannon man or even an ad mirer of that gentleman. But we tlo believe that any tie-up with the democrats which will tend to give them political glory sufficient to land them in power at the next session of congress has greater menace to the country than having the aged speaker holding tlown his job under present conditions. The republican party in the past has been able to take care of unpopular conditions which have arisen in the past without the aid of democratic support and they will be able to do so again. The editor of this paper will not doff his hat to any man as being more progressive than himself, and we certainly will not take off our hat to any man who thinks that it is necessary to get who loves his country and believes that the party can solve the great questions before it as it has many times before. Let it be known right now that the editor of this paper is the kind of a stand patter who is loyal to Presid ent Taft until ho has had time to prove himself unworthy of the support of every loyal republican. We feel that this is a stand which any man should not be ashamed of. We take such a stand because we sinccrly believe that it is right. No man can ac cuse us of taking tin t :.tand for any other reason and we e::pect to uphold it. If we are wrong in our contention, that is our mistake, but until we have have reason to believe that we are on the wrong track we will he found taking the stand we have ami proud of that fact. ship to the speaker as a means of mak ing their own cause popluar with the people. There are among the in surgents many grand, good and able men, hut they have been altogether too swift in trying to take advantage of a condition which they have taken every opportunity to swell in impor- ance for the purpose of making them selves solid with the people to the detriment of their own party which las elected them to office, not to popularize themselves but to bring lonor and credit to the republican party by giving the people, as it always uis done before, the relief in legis- inight reap with us yet. The experience of that short three months as editor of that populist paper was most valuable of our life. We look back upon it with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure.
