just past. 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.

THE EDITOR'S POSITION
"There are no openly avowed
"standpatters" in Nebraska.
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."

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. Regret that

IF typewriters were machines run mechanical means in
stead of human hands, you would find that, with a given amount
of power, a Monarch could be run at a higher maintained speed
than other typewriters.
Run by "girl power," you find that the Monarch is run at
a higher all-day average speed than other typewriters, and
without a "tapering oft;" irom fatigue toward the day's end.
Both these truths are due to the fact that
