INSURGENT ULTIMATUM

Either the Insurgents" of to- day are the republican party of tomorrow or else when tomorrow comes there will be no republican party.
 There are no birds in last years nest. There are no votes for the republican party in 1912 or in 1910 because it freed the slaves in the civil war or saved us from the silver basis in 1896.
 A few states in the south are surely democratic and few states in the north are surely re- publican, but the decisive votes in the deciding states will be for the republican party only by reason of what it now does and seems likely to do to free the masses and save the government from the clutch of organized privilege.
 The president is depending up- Oil AiOI IIli anu SdIlllOli, Lft SCl wants of organized privilege, to put through the Roosevelt poli- cies he so ardently desires. and his face is turned away from the ''insurgent minority, to whom those policies are dear. It is a false situation which can not last. Nor can any dependence be placed upon those so-called lead CTS to enact those policies into law.
 In looking to Aldrich anb Can non to beat organized privilege off from the prerogatives and power it enjoys. the president is leaning on a broken reed. He belongs with the insurgents and they belong with him.
 Either the insurgents" of to- day are the republican party of tomorrow or eles when that to- morrow comes there will be no republican party. - Indianapolis News (rep.)

WalIaceburg, Ark. Feb. 25-h.
 Mir Editor: With your per mission l wish to make few re- marks in refutation ot some of the remarks Bro. Sn0derass made in last weeks issue of the Plea yune
 First he said the good Bool, said We had the poor always with us, which was true; but he for got to mention that the good book says there were rich people in those days also. Well we have got the same two classes with LIS to day; now what l wish most i this short article to say is that Jim said that the Jews wrote the scriptur ana that if they lived n those days like they do no# he has doubts about the truth of the Bible. Now the scriptures tel us that holy men of tod wrote as they were inspired; inspired by whom? the people? no; by the rulers? no; by the high priests and potentates? ohi no; no; put by the divine spirit of God him. self. Now, Jim, look out l am afraid you are ueading on dangal- ous ground, for those scriptures are thousands of years older than you and toe many millions If people that have lived and are now living on this earth believe in the truth ef them and it don't behooFe maa of your finite mind at this fate day t0 try to disprove the authenticity of the holy scriptures. But then, what are you, anytoW?I have been for a long time trying 10 solve you and l have not madey0u out yet.
 1 once thought you were a democrat, but you soon disabus- ed my mind there Then came 10 the conclusion you must be a republican, but after your speech at BrUsby Creek local l soon found out you were not CT chat persuasion; then 1 determined that you belong to the socialist gang, but there again 1 was at fault. but from your last utter aaces in last weeks issue 1 am ai- most convinced that you are strongly leaning towards a5he- ism, but then Jim l believe when you wrote that article you must have been bilious.
 Now my advice to you would be to stick close to the Sons of Rest and the Farmers Union and your fame as a literary scribe will be accomplished. This l write in a friendly spirit hoping you may see the errors of your ways and be c0mforted.

H di not indulge iE any abuse of his opponent, Governor Doaa ghey but criticized his administration. and denied that 1t had been a business one as the Governor claimed two years ago. He stated that he had invited Don aghey to meet hims1n the stump and up to this time had that pleasure but once, that being at Magnolia.
 MT. kayanauph touched up- on the state house matter; told the people that the first official act of his would be to fire H. L. Banel the republican, whom Donaghey has made chairman of that committee, and that second would be to put @ good democrat ih lis place.
 He criticized tie Governor for cutting the appropriation for the deaf, dun and blind, and sion- ing 2 hill for the appropriations of SG000. to eradicate tEe ticks nom the Arkansas Bull yearl- ings.
 In all, his speach was well re- ceived and it is safe to predict that he made many votes by his visit to this city.

SAYS SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

Washington, Feb. -Se nator Crawford today addressed the senate in support of the conten- tion that instead of wasting months and years in an investi- gation of the causes of increased price for the necessaries of life, congress should devote itself to devising remedy. He attribut- ed the rise in the cost of living to the rapid increase of the gold supply and the corresponing in- crease of the per capita circu- lation in the United States.
 Senator Crawford declared that the investigations of the bureau of labor has been sufficient to es- tablish the facts relative to the increase and he therefore urged that further inquiry would be useless.
 He failed to find cause for re. gret in the situation, he said, ex- cept insofar as it affected wage earners, saying that there had not been corresponding increase in wages. He declared that public opinion should compel such in- crease. thus placing the wage earner on an equal footing with the producer in the enjoyment of good times.

WAITE IS ELIGIBLE,
TITLE TO PENN
Syracuse Athlete Backed
Up by His Faculty in
Protest.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June IA
dispatch from New Haven on Tuesday
contained the information that an
investigation" was being made into
the eligi bility Of Dean H Waite, syria
cdse, 70. who took second place in the
shctput in the intercollegiate games
In this city on May Is. The idea of
this, research was that If Waite were
not eligible his points would be
thrown out and Coy and Fitzpatrick,
Of Yale, respectively third and fourth
IN the original com petition, would
move up to be second and third.
This would add two more points TO
Yale's total, and the Blue then would
be tied with Pennsylvania for first
place in the games. This blissful idea
was based on the supposed truthful
statement that Waite entered Svra-
cuse from Colgate last fall. and was
only freshman and Ineligible be-
cause OF the One-year residence rule
20 compete. There was no statement
made, however, that Yale officially
was LnF3atiSatinz any such story.
II IS unlikely that the point stand

true, but ne entered Syracuse on jan
uary 1, 1909. and at the time of the
intercollegiate games had been in SYRIA
cuse considerably more than a cslenda,
year There is nothing that makes IL
appear that Waite ever did compete
for Colgate in the time he was there
But even If he had his residence ar
syracuse from January I. 1869. makes
him eligible beyond TIE shadow of a
doubt.
Furthermore, Waite came from Mer-
cersburg, and Johnny Mack. the Yale
coach, knew about him while he Wa
there The chances are strongly against
any protest being made at this time
and it is equally likely that had anvthine
been known against Waite il would
have come out long since. He was In

feated Joe Horner, of Nichiean IN
