The returns from the March con
ventions, as has been represented
right along, show that the insurgent
or SO called progressive faction of the
party will control the April state con.
vention to select delegates to the re-
publican national convention. II
may 60 out of its way and indorsr
Mr.. Crawford for the q. S. Senate but
that will not nominate him. They
told us two years ago that the ma
chine in power could control caucuses
and conventions but with the dir,ct
primary things would be changed
The insurgents have the committees
and the machine this time but the
people will make the nominations in
June. Lake Preston Times.
After the fight put up by Kittredge
and the old machine in their attempt
to secure control of the state conven.
ton for the purpose of endorsing Kit.
tredge, it is with poor grace that they
speak of the convention "going out Of
its way" to endorse Crawford. Kitt
spent two months of his time in try.
ing to fix the convention so it would
go out of its way to give him an en-
dorsement. Futher, to say that the
''insurgents have the committees and
the machine" is dirty fling. Where
ever the old machine had the county
committees it appointed Kittredge
delegates and ignored all progressyes
sentiment. Where the progressives
had the committee in this county and
dispensed with the primary the de-
legation was divided evenly. The
old machine cannot show such an
instance of fairness. The machine
went into the contest for the control
of the April convention with some
thing like l56 appointed delegates
and out of thirty counties holding
primaries it only succeeded in secur-
ing about so delegates. The progress
sive majority was elected by the peo.
pie. The people will make the nomi.
nations in June, and at the March
primaries they indicated quite clearly
along what lines those nominations
will be made.

The U. S. supreme court has hand
ed down decision to the effect that
Minnesota railroad rate law is uncon.
stitutional in that it provides for pen
alties for violation of the law which
practically prevent the railroads from
getting into court to test the con-
stitutionality of the law. As the law
mentioned did carry with it excessive
penalties, from $500 to $500 for each
offense, and each individual sale of a
ticket at the above prescribed rate
constituted a separate offense, the U.
S. supreme courts decision may be
just. 1t goes futher, however, and
upholds federal circuit courts in prac-
tically abolishing state laws Ly in
junction. The railroads have a right
to a fair hearing, but experience proves
that under the course prescribed by
the U. S. supreme court the people
are compelled to go through lot of
red tape, and all the time the railroads
are disobeying the law, and if the peo-
pie win in the courts there is no re-
dress for the excessive charges made
by the railroads during the long drawn
out trials, appeals, etc. The penalties
may be unreasonable, but the penal
ties exacted by the railroads are un-
reasonable and neither the supreme
court nor congress has provideda way
for the people. 1t seems to us that
the decision of the U. s. supreme court,
in so far as it upholds inferior federal
courts in stopping the enforcement of
state laws for the regulation of intra-
state rates, is unjust Especially is
this SO when there is no national con
troll of both intra-state and interstate
rates, but until such time as the former

From SUNDAY Sermon bvRev III. Preston
Love, upon the lips of Christ and
His apostles was not the usual con
ception of that word as the world then
knew it. 1t was word of new spiritual
and social significance.
Social love of the gospel, is the love
of the gospel, is the only kind of love
that will hold together society and
nations. Where this kind of love is
not, there is death, dying communities
dying empires.
To be loyal to the members of ones
own family alone, is that great ad
vantage to humanity' To love those
who love you will not help society very
much.
Christ demands from His followers
love for man as man. He demands
the acknowledgement that all men
are members Of common family
and it is from this kind of love alone
that truly Christian society can arise
You know the story of Father Dam
len, living among the lepers on the
lonely island, sharing at last the dis
ease of these outcast creatures, uplift.
ed in his sufferings by their love as
he had upIifted them by his devotion
Do you know any kind of love that
would inspire man to live a life like
that, except the love of Christ con
straining hims
The pagan world knew nothing OF
love like that of Father Damien
yes, and the world of conventional
Christians today, knows nothing about
it either; but the true Christian knows
lit. 1t is the real test of our fellow
ship with Christ, it is His spirit.

Uuder the recent decision any stock
holder or railroad officer can stop the
enforcement of state regulation Of
rates by applying to circuit federal
court. Theprocess is long and clumsy
and the people are left without protec.

islature if their law is not upheld
The operation can then be repeated
on every new law enacted.

BRowN county has alwas been the
hot bed of the old machine. When
all else failed they still pointed with
pride" to Brown county. But even
that county seems to be going against
them now. At the March primary the
Kittredge forces received total vote
of ], ,229 and the progressives vote OF
ST. At that rate of progressive gain
Brown county is very likely to give
the progressives majority in June,

In persistently refusing to pledge
himself to abide by the endorsement
of the republican prrty for U. S. sena.
tor at the June primaries, Kittredge
shows that he is afraid of, and does
not have confidence in, the people
composing that party. If Kit lacks
confidence in the people, it is the best
reason in the world why the people
should have no confidence in him.

Paul Gil,nore's Great Ride.

If all equines had the same DISPOSE
ton as those of Pocatello, Idaho, Paul
Gilmore would not be the lover of
horses he is. While playing that town
a few days ago. Mr. Gilmore thought
some equestrian exercise would benefit
him. He summoned his pet cow punch
er and private secretary, "GriZzfy,'' who
in private life is Wi1let Louis, and
commanded steeds to be brought forth.
'Griz'' Immediately set forth on his
quest. zs
AS he was a stranger in the town,

street corner and asked the way to a
livery stable. We'll. now, friend" an

barn. The door was pried open with
an axe by the guide. While subdued
snores were heard within. Il wouldn't
disturb 'em, if l was YOU" said the
stranger, I'VE want to have 'em fresh
for the ride. They are sleeping now"
Louis hurried back to the hotel and

Maiestic's New Bill.


The Sherman Stock company will
offer at the Majestic for the first half
of next week beginning Sunday, matt
nee, After the Roundup a western
play, dealing with life on the plains.
The piece is by Whitney Collins, and is
said to possess unusual merit, and in
the hands OF company that has al
ready established itself, it is safe to ex-
pect that the public will set the stamp
of approval on the production. The play
tells a story of interest to every one
and contains many striking characters.
Before the opening of the piece Jim
Forney a cattleman has met, in d
wine room in Denver, Jennie Latimer
who afterwards becomes the wife of
Bill Hughes, who knows nothing of her
former reputation When she is brought
to the ranch, she comes face to face
with F'orney who recognizes her. In
order to keep her husband from learn
ing the truth she seeks an interview
with F'orney, and meets, him in the
bunk house after dark, and begs him
not to tell her husband Jim makes
her the promise, but while she is there,
she is seen by the Scorpian, who is an
enemy of Forney, largely for the rea-
son that Hughes has given him the job
as foreman, instead of giving it to him.
The Scorpian tells the old man and
here the trouble begins. The Scorpian
becomes dOuDly enrageQ at F'Orney De-
cause the latter has won the heart of
Bill Hughes sister Bess, whom he had
set his heart on. In order to get even
he is determined to stop at nothing.
So he tells the Kid that Forney has
accused him of stealing cattle on an
other ranch and gets him fired. where
as it was the Scorpian himself that
started the lie in order to further his
own interest. The Kid is discharged
and in order to get even he and the
Scorpian cause a stampede of the cat
tie, causing loss of many for the pur-
pose of putting F'orney in a bad light
with his employer. The old man final
ly learns the truth, and welcomes his
wife and Jim Forney back while the
mob takes charge of the Scorpian. The
parts of Lazy Williams and Bridget
Doyle furnish plenty of comedy to
liven up the piece and the whole play
is built with the object of pleasing the
people. During the last half of the
week THE Miners Daughter will be
given. 1t is new piece with consider
able merit, written by Robert Sherman,
the author of the two plays presented
the first week Amateur night will oc-
cur again on Tuesday as usual and
many interesting acts have already
been arranged for.
