Ttft the Prog-reiiiTe.
Insurgents must by now see and
ought to admit that they have not
stampeded the president; that with
all the campaign of carping, criticism
waned against him he stands firm
footed on 8 platform of sane con
servatism, leaning to neither' extreme.
He has already proven himself a very
safe and capable leader. But the man
who does not How see that Taft la no
more of a reactionary than he Is an in-j
. , . . . ,
surgent la either obtuse or unfair to
himself. He hss proven that" ho is a
progressive in all that that term lm-
piles for level-headed patriotism.
Is It not about time for the radicals
on both sides to make a few admis
sions with reference to the president
and a few concessions with reference
to themselves? Does not the good of
the republican party and the good of
the country demand it? They both
placed the president on trial; he has
withstood their buffeting. Now. Is It
not their duty to render their verdict.
the only verdict which sober Judgment
and sound reason could render?
Those republicans who go out Into
the campaign and seek to exalt one
element of the party at the expense
of the other are sure to face an Im
possible task and they will be con
tributing the most potent influence to
democratic suctes. The party as a
whole was agreed upon and satisfied
with the platform of 1908. That plat
form made certain specific pledges to
the people. Under the Insistent direc
tion of the president, congress came
very near completing this entire pro
gram and giving the country the laws
promised, so near, in fact, that it
should be able to finish the work at
the coming short session. No con
gress since me civil war ever did as
much In so short a time. And every
body knows that but for the president
much of the work would not have
been done.
If that Is not keeping faith with
the people, what Is it? And if It ia
keeping faith with the people, what
was it the radicals wanted or expected
that was not done? How are they
going to uphold themselves and pull
down the president? If what wbb
done was not enough, was not right,
who la to blame and why did they
stand upon the platform In the first
place and Join in making these
pledges?-
So far as practical progresslveism
goes. President Taft comes nearer
typifying It today than any other man
in official life. As the titular and
actual head of the republican party,
ho represents progress and develop
ment In every act and utterance, and
it la progress and development the
people want. They are sick of mere
talk by aggrieved politicians
,., .Nebraska'! Growth.
The grand assessment roll' of Ne
braska shows an Increase in round
numbera of $14,000,000 for the year,
which really means a total Increase In
valuation of property or all kinds of
$70,000,000. The total valuation of
property in Nebraska is now fixed at
above two billions of dollars. This is
a most convincing exhibit of the
growth of the state and the enterprise
of its citizens.
But a little longer than a generation
ago Nebraska was a wilderness of vir
gin prairie, the range of deer and buf
falo and the bunting ground for In
dians. Within the easy span of a ein
gl human life all tnese conditions
have been changed and in' Nebraska's
confines now are found the homes of
enterprising and energetic people
whose well directed efforts add annu
ally millions to the permanent ma
terial wealth, not only of the state,
but of the nation. ... .'
The growth of the state has been
accomplished without the sensational
flourish that marked some of its
neighbors, but it is npne the less sub
stantial and permanent. ' The citizen
of Nebraska acquainted with the re
aourcea of his home need not dolt his
hat to any other of the great common
wealths of the union.
Hoke Smith Bryan's Man.
scarcely nad the question been
asked as to Hoke Smith's acceptabil
ity as Bryan's preferred candidate for
1 1912 than Mr. Bryan la his Commoner
answered all inquiries in thla signifi
cant manner:
none Mnitn la a sturdy American. H
appreciates the Importance of keeping the
special InterestH out of political author
ity. In the face of great discouragements
he lins ttood faithfully for his convictions.
Defeated two years ago by the corpora
tifcn and liquor Inte-'rMts, he is now vic
torious by n pronounced majority, and
Georgia In to be congratulated tiiat this
able, fAllhful man will ngaln hold the
gubernatorial office.
True, 'the Nebraskau does not jet
nominate the Georgian for uVmoc
racy'a standard bearer two years
hence, but ho comes as close to It as
political wisdom wairauta and iu time
may bo expected to follow this up with
a formal declaration in favor of
Smith. Of course Mr. Bryan does not
say so, but the element of favorable
consideration in Smith that com
mends him most highly to tho Peer
less Leader Is that he has stood loy
ally to Bryan and Bryauism. That
counts for a whole lot more than the
fact that he has stood for hi "convic
tions" In Georgia as a candidate for
governor against certain local corpor
atlons. Many men In many states
have done likewise and yet come far
short of meeting the Bryan measure
of approval. Unless they 'have atood
for Bryan and Bryanism In the face
of hopelesa defeat and prospects they
are not acceptable.
Old-line democrats contend that
Bryan will be a forsaken idol in the
next national convention. U remains
to be aeen how near right they are.
It will be very remarkable if the Ne
braskan falls to show up with a con
siderable following. The only ques-
tlon Is whether that following will be;
of majority or minority strength. But
that he will command an Influence
seems almost certain.

' t ... ,,
I comes me soutn paralleling me wesi
In development, both In Industry and
agriculture. The south s agricultural
output this year will, a Baltimore
statistician estimates; amount to
$-',700,000,000. while its grain crop
will rcacn 200,000,000 bushel. In
addition to thla It will, so other au
thorities assert, get IfOO.OOO.OOO more
for this year's cotton crop than it
would have received bad not the
southern bulls vanquished the New
York bears in the fight to control
prices. Hut with all this stupendous
advance In agricultural pursuits, man
ufacturers are making even greater
progress.
This is true in the west as v.e'l as
the south and it must bring forcibly to
every mind the thought of what the
future holds for these two sections of
the United States. The development
of the present, great as it is, must be
but a beginning of what is to ;ome.
Viewing the matter in this light, It
would seem rather difficult for a man
to bury himself in pessimism as to the
maintenance of the balance in the law
of supply and demand In thla country.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
makes a most comprehensive exposi
tion of the vast development going on
in the south and west, printing In a
single Issue news stories from twenty
six different cities, ranging from the
south Atlantic coast to Seattle, skirt
ing the coast of Texas and going back
into the interior as far as Omaha,
showing not merely statements of
what Is going on, but actual facts
naming the items of expansion. It
shows that new industries are spring
lng up, while old ones are running full
blast; that new progress is apparent
op every hand. It is about the most
complete and convincing evidence of
the general prosperity In the country
today that we have seen. It Is hard
to see how a better showing could be
made than thla simple array of cold
facts. They will stand out boldly
against all the talk of the alarmist to
attempt to create the contrary" belief
that the country ia not prosperous.
New Mexico is Republican.
The results of the election of dele
gates to the constitutional convention
In New Mexico reveal something of a
surprise in the forecast of the politi
cal complexion of the new state. It
had been all but taken for granted by
republicans that it would be demo
cratic from the outset and by the
democrats such a conclusion was re
garded aa toreoae. .But New Mexico
wUI ioin the Iaterhootl of states as a
republican commonwealth, If the re-
suits of this preliminary election are
to be accepted, and we know of no
reason why they should not be.
Complete returns give the republic
ans sixty-eight and the democrats
only thirty-two- delegates to the con
ventlon that Is to draft the state con.
stitutlon. Thla Is a great surprise, no
pouDt, to most people. The most
roseate republican hopes never could
have counted on so large a majority
There Is little doubt that had such a
poll of the state been taken before
the statehood bills were acted on In
congress their passage might have
been facilitated, for alwaya In such
matters politics is bound to cut some
figure, though, of course, In this case
both parties were pledged to state
hood In their election platforms . and
President Taft was determined, aside
from any and all political considera
tions, to force the passage of the bills.
The initiative and referendum is
still an unsettled issue in the constitution-making
of New Mexico. Fifty
nine of the sixty-eight republican dele
gates are opposed to it, but counting
all the democrats as .favorable, they
with the other nine republicans, mak
ing a total of forty-one, might be able
to work a combination that in the end
would secure the insertion of such a
proposition in the draft, but yet it is
not probable and even so, congress
which has the final abitrament, might
pluck It out
Keen the Record Straight.
In Senator Burkett's Washington hall
speech he told the audience v.ith apparent
approval that down in Missouri the repub
licans referred to progressive republicans as
"rebels" Instead of Insurgents.
This may be the fact, but until Senator
Bnrkett gave it publicity no one in Ne
braska had heard of it.

As a matter of fact Senator Burkett

The chairman of the evening did make
reference to the fact that the demo
crats in Missouri preferred the title
"rebel" to "Insurgent." In proof of
this assertion we cite the esteemed St
Louis Republic, which la the leading I
organ of the Missouri mosaback
democracy, and Is supposed to reflect
the sentiment of that wing of the
party. The editor of the World
Herald ia very auxlous to secure the
political downfall of Senator Burkett,

"Party lines sit very loosely In Ne
braska this year." says the World
Herald, with Its customary eye to end
of deluding republicans Into voting
the democratic ticket on the so-called
nonpartisan quality of the campaign.
As a matter of fact then; never waa a
campaign in Nebraska in which party
lines should be drawn more closely.
It la well for the voters to keep in
mind alwaya that the editor of the
World-Herald aspires to be elected to
the office of United States senator, andi,t canvassing board under the primary
he knows he never can achieve this
ambition unless he is abje to secure
all the democratic votes in 'Nebraska

votes besides. It is for this and no
other reason that he persistently

down.
One thousand French peasants are

campaign of settling up their vacant
land, and It Is especially fitting that
French Bhould come to Louisiana.

Three o a Kind
Democrat Find Themselvee with
Too Many Fesrlese leaders la
Bryan. Shallenbergsr and Dahlman.
Loup City Notthwestei n: It looks a
though Shalienbergcr had been crucified on
hts own pet law. He advocated and signed
the law as chief executive with a flourish
cf trumpets and it has proved his own
undoing.
Bridgeport News-Blade: Io not think for
a minute that Jim iMhlman Is going to be
an easy nun to beat at the polls nei No
vember. H may be depended upon that the
Influences which brought ahut-.t his nom
imitlon will exert themselves with much
more energy to elect him.
Blue Springs' Sentinel: Bhullenbcrger has
refused to sign the election certificate of
Jim Dahlman for governor. He is one of the
law. Sulking, however, never wins admira
tion and the governor might as well Join
his colleagues and sign up.
Broken Bow Beacon: W. J. Wryan Is
again urging Governor Hhallenberger to
call the legislature together in extra ses
sion to pass a law for the initiative and
referendum. If the legislature would do
that, Bryan nays he could nupport Dahlman
and so could a lot of others.
Keurney Hub: The Fremont Tribune re
calls Governor Shallenberger's statement at
a democratic banquet in Kearney last year
that "in Nebranka democracy has Joined
hands with decency." In the light of later
events the governor will probably admit
that It waa just a parting handshake.
Albion News: As an example of the re
volt In the democratic party against Dahl
man, It is claimed that there will nol be a
single democratic newspaper In the Fifth
congrenslonal district that will give their
candidate for governor open support Those
which don't openly oppose him will remain
silent.
Foils city Journal: By the time the fhai-
lenberger and Dahlman partisans get over
the count and recount controversy the re
publican candidate will be coming down the
home stretch so far In the lead that the
democrats will begin to wonder what they
were wasting their ammunition on one an
other for-
Grand island Independent: What the
populists really want Is that Hhallenberger
bolt from the result of the democratic pri
mary and be a candidate on the populist
ticket. If hhallenberger accepts they will
seek Bryan's support. Mr. Bryan will prob
ably be hoping that such a proposition
comes not up to him
Sarpy County Republican: Mayor Dahl
man says there will be no party lines In
the coming election but that county option
will be the clean cut Issue. He attributes
his success In the primaries to the repub
llcun party and rests wholly on its support
for his election. If the mayor' meets de- j
feat he will, of course, blame his own patty
for It
Central City Nonpareil: Jim Dahlman Is
running lor governor on a platform that
declares for the Initiative and referendum,
and he endorses this plank in many of his
speeches. County option Is but a local ap
plication of exactly the same principle and
yet he denounces It to the point of profan
ity. Conslbtency does not seem, to be one
of the cardinal qualities of his character.
Winside Tribune: Mr. Dahlman tells us
that if elected governor he will strictly
enforce the present liquor law. If Jim did
thla he would put almost every saloon In
the state out of business, for none comply
with the law. But his talk about law en
forcement is all buncombe. Mayor Jim has
the chance to practice what he preaches
tight now in Omaha, but he doesn't do it.
Hyannls Tribune: The present political
monstrosity the primary election law has
caused more trouble and strife during the
short time that has elapsed since It was
put into effect than the convention system
did c'uring the many years it was iu vogue,
and the Tribune wonders if the next Ne
braska legislature will contain a member
with enough nerve to Introduce a bill to
abrogate the monstrosity in its entirety.
Falrbury Gasette: Everybody In Lincoln
Is Intensely Interested In the outcome of
the. gubernatorial contest between Gov
ernor Shallenberger and Mayor Dahlman,
but about 4 o'clock every afternoon the
crowds at K!ward Young's cigar store on
O street Indicate that the race of the Lin
coln base ball elnh for the pennant as
shown by the telegraphic reports received
there has the stage of action for an hour
or two while the above political contest
takes a rest behind the scenes.
Seward Blade: Mayor Dahlman, finding
that many of the democratic papers will not
support him for governor, Is making an
, effort to convince them that he is In favor
of the enforcement of law. His record as
mayor of Omaha, and his declaration
that he would veto a county option law
should the legislature enact one, and his
well known opposltlop. to the 8 o'clock Clos
ing law is all against him, and it Is too late
for him to begin to hedge. He has talked
too much about what he stands for and
would do providing the people would elect
him governor. ,
Albion Argus: An effort has been made
to persuade Governor Khallenherger to
stand for the populist nomination he re
ceived. Personally we would be much
pleased to have him do it. We would much
perefer to support him than Aldrich. Of
course we are well aware that his candi
dacy would complicate matters. It would
make a three-cornered fight with doubtful
results. But that is no more than It will
be if uniy Aldrich and Dahlman are in the
fight. Home are Inclined to think If the
governor would run that It would surely
elect Aldiich, while others are Just as posi
tive It would elect Dahlman. It might fool
all of them and elect Hhallenberger. We
would like mighty well to try the experi
ment. St. Paul Republican: Since the primaries

The fireman and hrakemsn and engineer
Are valiant fellows and true;
Oh, they're always on tap when It comes

But when there Is trouble along the Hne,
Demanding quick action and brain.

He is always expecting disaster,
And he's ready to face It. too:
Be the trouble a switch or a train In the
ditch.
He knows the exact thing to do.
No doubt he's some rough In his ways of
speech,
And says what he thinks pretty plain;
But the calling he serves draws some hard
on the nerves.
Oh, the Boss of the Wrecking Crew!
He's trusty and tried and true;
With his derrick and crane, his replacer
and chain,
He shows us a trick or two.
Ills path of life Is littered with wreckage;
His passport is "W-K."
When he goes for a ride traffic steps to
one side
And gives him the whole right-of-way;
His stock In trade's nerve and good Judg

He's a stranger to fear and he keeps the
track clear.
