THE OPENING Gun.

The republican state central COM
mittee will meet at Fargo on the 18th
of September in response to the call
just issued by Chairman Hanna and
plans for an active campaign will be
formulated From that time on until
the polls close in November the public
will be treated to the usual fire.
works incident to political battles. but
the ultimate result is certainty and
the republican party will score
sweeping victory in North Dakota.
The democratic party has based its
fCriorn hope OF success upon the
division in the republican ranks and
the leaders have been frank in their
admission that they anticipated SUBJ
stantial support from the ranks of the
insurgents. This was apparent at the
recent democratic love feast held here
when the candidates for office and the
state central committee met to lay
their plans. There were few of the
disgruntled and defeated insurgent
office-seekers who extended the glad
hand to their democratic friends at
that meeting and. while they were not
in the council chambers, they were
lowering near. This may have been a
crumb of comfort to the democrats
and 1t may not have been. Be that as
1t may, 1t is certain that the division
in the republican ranks which has
furnished so much satisfaction to the
democracy is not of so serious a ma
ture as to warrant the building of any
great hopes thereon.
A large percentage of the insursent
following had. at the inception of the
movement. the courage of their con-
victions and were sincere in what they
protested to believe to be wrong in the
conduct of state affairs. Later on. as
their eyes began to open to the situa-
ton and to the game to which they
were asked to become a party they
grew disguised with their selfish lead
ers and We're glad to return to the
party which they respected for its
splendid record in the management of
state affairs.
The leaders of the insurgents cause
may whine on. and they undoubtedly
will. judging from the support a few
OF their organs are giving the demo-
cratic ticket. but the thinking masses
Will vote the republican ticket this fall.
The state convention at jamestown
opened the eyes of the disruptionists
IN rather rude manner. It was an
unhappy awakening and sicker look

gathering in this state. DELEGATIONS
which they had openly boasted of as he.
ing willing to be led to the slaughter by
them repudiated their braggadocio by
endorsing the state administration, and
every effort to stem the tide failed
Since that time the absolute insincer-
ity Of the leaders OF the insurgent
movement and the folly of the attempt
to side track republicanism for pop-
ulism has been more and more an
parent to the man who observes. Look

PLENTY OF FUEL.

| If there is a shortage of coal and
wood in Pendleton the fuel of good
fellowship was not lacking at the
meeting of the business men and o.
+. x n. officials this morning.
1t would be fortunate if a fuel fam
inc, or Some other such public emerg-
ency happened oftener to bring busi-
ness men and railroads closer togeth-
er, Many of the troubles of business
life, as of private life, are the result
of misunderstanding. If we knew all
about everything, there would be
much less difficulty in getting on in
the world. And the only way to ar
rive at a thorough understanding is
to meet and talk over the issues at
stake.
That there is a fuel famine in pro-
gress all over the northwest is known
to all who read or observe. But that
it is not due to wanton negligence on
the part of the railroad companies, is
also we'll known.
The country is growing rapidly.
New towns and enlarged settlements
are making new demands on the coal
and wood companies. As was said
at the meeting this morning, former
ly carload of coal would "go
around" Now it requires a train
load.
The magnitude of the Pacific coast
has not yet dawned on the pioneers.
Coal companies, railroads, merchants
newspapers, farmens-all are una
ware of the gigantic proportions of the
west. 1t is developing at such a rate
that no one can keep pace. We get
into a rut and sled along in the old
way, while every hour the panorama
of development is changing the map
and We are lost in wonder when the
truth dawns upon us.
Formerly uainload OF coal day
would swamp" all the stores along
the line in eastern oregon.
Today a trainload of either coal OF
merchandise will not cover the bottom
much less fill UP the space.
What is needed is more railroads
more coal mines, more facilities.
There is plenty of fuel in oregon
to supply the state for centuries.
But this fuel supply must be un.
covered and made available. To dc
this in the most practical and most
speedy manner is the great problem
To relieve immediate needs few
cars of coal and wood will be shipped
in. Bigger problems may be discussed
later.
