Dispiritinc Defeats.

The dispiriting effects Of defeat on
land are too well known to need more
than reference; but we are inclined
to believe the dispiriting effects of a
series of disasters at sea, such as the
Russians have recently encountered,
are more far reaching in their results,
because it is realized that a disaster
at sea such as overlook the battleship
of Admiral MakarOff involves possible
loss of life to every one on board

either not the wit or the principle to
face the music and do their duty.
We doubt if any of the actual mis-
deeds of the party in power will count
more powerfully against it with the
people as a whole than its pusil-
lanimity. The American people hate
and despise a coward above all created
things. Mr.. Roosevelt has had more
sins forgiven him than ten men could
carry who had not the reputation Of
boldness that he has shrewdly Guilt
waited, while making his terms when
ever necessary behind the scenes.
Awkward as it might have been in de-
tails, we feel sure that the Republican
party would have gained by holding
congress in session until it had COM
pleted its work, and taking the respon-
sibility for such plumbers as it might
make. rather than shouldering respon-
sibility for admitted incapacity.
When a party says plainly that a
mere chance of success at the polls
means more to it than the conduct Of
government, when it declares that
every public interest must wait for at
least twelve months lest some votes be
lost at an election, the people incline
to repudiate it, and they do we'll. There
ought to be no more instructive figure
for the voter than that of a house OF
Republican Legislators scrambling pell-
nell away from the national capital
where duty waits neglected and alone

Congressional Contest Looks

Literature.

Fairmont, Sept. l0.-Hon. Herbert j..
Miller's congressional candidacy is ia
vorably received throughout Martin
county. Conservative republicans make
the prediction that the Luverne man
will carry this county at the primaries.
His views ON the tariff question meet
with popular approval, even many of
for Mr.. McCleary having expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Miller will gain
strength daily because of his stand.
There appears to be an uprising in be-
half of Mr.. Miller. Men are coming to
his support without the need of well
oiled machine to carry them along. 1t
is fact that Mr.. Miller has no organ
ization. The voters are favorable to his
candidacy because they feel that should
he be sent to carry out their wishes. A
casual survey of the situation will con-
vince most anyone that there is decid-
ed opposition to McCleary.
Ten days or two weeks ago the con-
ditions in Martin county were far diff
ferent from what they are at the pres
ent Cine. A well-known republican of
statewide prominence, who did not care
to have his name mentioned for obvious
reasons, said to me today that he had

Can Mr. McCeary for all his years in congress, show
record like that Can he show bill proposed
by him congress to strike at the injustice the people
receive from monopoes? There the coal trust; the
steel trust the lumber trust all sorts of monopoes and
combines plundering the people and making their own
price both for that which the people have to sell and have
to buyhas he made pretense to lift burden from
the people? and is he not proposing to revise the
tariff upward? And not 'the bill that bears my
name in the interest of the banks rather than in the in
terest of the man who tolls the farm and in the shop
and in the factory?
Garden seeds and letters calling attention to them
very nicely written but they simply part of the Nc
Ceary machine to catch voters. 1t is easier thing to
get garden seeds which cost the sender nothing, and
which Uncle Sam pays the postage than to attack the
monopoies and the trusts Perhaps the seeds sent would
cost the farmer ten cents But will they blind him to
the fact that the congressman has done nothing in all his
years in congress to lcgate in their interest and adjust
the burdens daily placed upon them by the great corpora
tons of New Jersey?

republican has Changed his mind He is
free to say that if there should be no
change of front on the part of the voters
between now and Sept. 20 the county
will be landed safely in the Miller col
umn. On interviewing other well known
republicans here L found that they held
to the same view.
Many of Mr.. McCleary's staunchest
supporters in the past have concluded
that it is time for him to step aside
f.. c. Dean, who is personal friend of
Mr.. Miller, as well as Mr.. McCleary
made the statement to the writer that
he would support the Luyerne man at
the primary. He will do this not only
on account of the fact that he is a for
mer neighbor of Mr.. Miller, but he feels
confident that new man from the Sec
ond district could do no less than Mr.
McCleary has done, and he might be
able to accomplish more. Mr.. Dean was
of the belief, although he has not can
vassed the situations, that Mr.. Miller
will carry, Martin county at the pri-
maries. He basis this belief upon con-
versations he has had with gentlemen
who have felt the public pulse.
Among the well-known business men
of Fairmont is l.. III. Brossemer. He
favors the nomination of Mr. Miller fol
congress, believing that gentleman
to be fully capable of looking after the
peoples interests. He feels that Mr.
Miller would represent the people as they
wish to be represented. +. n. Forsetl

BATTLE CREEK, Neb., Nov. 12-(spe-
cial Telegram. 1.-The authorities of this
place are looking for a man who gave his
name as James McClain and professed to
be a hunter from Omaha, and who Is
known to have driven away with load of
guns and boxes stolen from Morse's hard
ware store here, and who told the driver
he was going to steal James Gillespie's
daughter from her home fifteen miles
south.
The man gave Twenty-sixth and Farnam
streets, Omaha, as his address and said
he had wife and two children there. He
claimed to have served four years in the
regular army in the Philippines. For some
time he has been working around here
among the farmers.
About midnight he went TO Cox's livery
barn and wanted a team and driver to
take him and some guns and ammunition
he had out in the country to William Tied
gems place, about four miles south of
town, where he said some boys from Omaha
were to meet him and go hunting in the
morning.
He secured the team and driver. Will
liam Losey, whom he requested TO drive
to the rear of Morse's hardware store,
where he said his guns and ammunition
were. The driver did as requested ana
loaded In some guns and boxes and they
drove away. The driver returned about 4
o'clock this morning, bringing back some
OF the guns and revolvers and also some
of the boxes, which, when examined, were
found to contain valuable cutlery of all
kinds. He Immediately hunted up the
marshal, to whom he narrated strange
story.
After leaving here he and McClain drove
to the Tiedgen place, but after reaching
1t McClain said he had decided not to stop
there and asked to be driven about eleven
miles further south to James Gillespie's
place. He said he was going to steal Gill
lespie's daughter The driver took him on
and when they reached Gillespie's McClain
went into the house, taking some of the
guns and revolvers with him. Shortly after
he entered the house dog barked and
on. 1t ran at the team and bit one of the
horses causing the team to run away. 1t
ran some distance, but without doing any
damage When the driver gained control
of the horses he did not go back to Gill
lespie's but came at once to town.
After hearing the story the marshal ac-
panied by the driver, went to Mr.. Morse's
store and found that one of the back win
dows had been broken and the cutlery and
gun cases rihed. The marshal Immediately
secured a team and taking William Losey
started for Gillespie's place. No word has
yet been received from them In the mean
time all surrounding towns have been noti-
fed to be on the lookout for McClain.
