They know what war is. They
are able to take care of themselves.
They know their people.
Look at the list again. Every
name in it is fairly odorous Of the
smoke of the political battlefield;
battle fields, too, on which they
have been volunteers, not con-
scripts. Read the list, and then,
out Of all the catalogue of public
men in the nation, make list, if
you can, of seven other men who
can lay claim to more experience
more demonstrated sincerity, more
courage, more brilliant capacity to
defend themselves and their cause
before the public. The truth is
that you will be hard put to it to
pick seven men whom you would
back against these veterans of in
surgency.
They are relatively young men;
Nelson,' the oldest, is barely sixty;
the average age of the seven is less
than fifty-four years. They are
pitted against a group of men
whose very calm to leadership
consists in their age. Physically
and intellectually alike, it is pit
iably unequal contest. These
young veterans ought to have
everything in their favor, and the
truth is that they have. Just as
surely as they remain firm in the
faith of their fight, their ranks will
swell with new recruits j. G.

NATIONAL FARM LAND CONGRESS


Although there is much to hope
for from the National Farm Land
Congress which. met last week in
Chicago, the fact cannot be blinked
that it was a boomers affair. The
big land owners and the land grant
railroads we're represented con-
spicuously, both in person and by
counsel. Its proceedings and &C.
ton must therefore be considered
in the light OF the familiar anec-
dote about the home seeker at a
suburban railway station who
asked a little boy how long it
would take to walk to q certain
addition The boys estimate
was about half an hour. "Why,"
protested the man, "tbe advertise
ments said five minutes" well"
the boy replied, 'you can believe
the advertisement or yon can be-
lieve me, but ! amt tryin' to make
no sale." 1t was the advertise
ment rather than the boy that the
National Land Congress rssem-
bled. 1t was after settlers, and
the only kind Of settlers it wanted
was those who would buy vacant
land for cash or take it over on q
mortgage, pledging their future
earnings. While the chorus Of
the conventions song was all
about the bringing Of the workers
to the vacant land, the iuducement
urged was less the wages for their
work than the certainty Of higher
land values to enrich them.-rhe

THE INSURGENTS

passage of the tariff bill were Bev-
eridge OF Indiana, Bristow Of Kan
sas, CAapp Of Minnesota, Cummins
and Dolliver of Iowa, La Toilette
of Wisconsin and Nelson of Min
nesota.
Let us see whether these insur-
gents are the kind of men to make
parliamentary revolutions. What
do they represent, for whom do
they speak, with how much secur-
ity of backing at home, and with
how firm tone of confidence in
their cause and their star?
Beveridge survives because he
was always Independent of the
machines; he happened without
it's consent, he has existed without
it's approval, and now he is surviv-
ing despite its undoing.
And look at Wisconsin. The
name suggests scrappy politics.
There wasn't n more perfectly APP
pointed political machine in the
union than the one in Wisconsin
which La Toilette smashed. He
had absolutely nothing with which
to smash it except the people.
But, after following him through
the dozen years of that light, are
his people likely to desert La Fol-
lette because he has got mixed up
in disagreement with a machine
OF at Washingtonp
And Iowa 1t never had any
political history that any body
knew about until Cummins started
trouble. His complaint was that
limited group of railroad lawyers
ruled the state. They were not
even first class railroad men; just
understrappers for bosses who
lived in Chicago, who in turn
were agents for greater bosses in
New York. They had a splendid
system Of control, but it was
busted" completely because the
people were tired Of it; and Cum.
minis is the fruit Of that fight.
Dolliver 10 a by-product, 20 to say;
he will go along because his life
business is representing his peo-
pie, and he has the brains to un-
derstand what they want and the
nerve to do it.
And Bristow, who won the fight
everybody thought was impossible
against the old Kansas machine.
Is he going to be afraid TO fight a
Senatorial mschinep Or are the
people who put him where he il
going to desert him because he 10
doing precisely what he promised
them he would do?
Then look at Clapp and Nelson
Of Minnesota. Il 10 only a few
years since James j. Hill took his
merger OF to Minnesota for dom.
,cile, because Hill knew be could
control Minnesota politics be.
You'd peradvsni urs! He was on.
titled 70 believe that; but hc rsck.
onsd wrong. Minnesota shook
hersslf free, started the merger,
eight, and won for herself and the
nation a. immense victory. Clapp
and Nelson represent the New
Idea that has bssn fructifying in
