WHAT TIME HAS WROUGHT.

4 writer to the Spirit Lake Beacon
made an automobile trip from Spirit
Lake to Sibley the other day. It was
the f,rst time he had made this Trip
since "those early years IN Tue
seventies when grasshoppers were
lavyine ruinous tribute upon northwest
Iowa" Continually, he said, there came
to his mind the wonders that nave
transfgured the face of nature ana the
entire situation within this generalloA
az time. When he first made the trip,
he saws. the only reliable conveyance
was the stage carrying the United
states mails three times week. fol
this distance of nearly forty miles the
prairie trail wound around the slougns
and along the ridges, for there was ~
tie of road making at that day. Inc
farmers were very poor, SO lmpoyei'
ished by the predatory locust mat the
state was furnishing seed grain ana
other aid was coming into the namlets
for distribution. Some OF the nome
steaders had fed, leaving their shacks
to crumble and their fields to the pro-
cesses of nature. Those who held the
fort were twisting hay for fuel and 70
exc out a meager existence were chas-
inc the redolent muskrat to his lair.
During those years of catering to the
pests from the plains 1t was no picnic
to pioneer it in northwest Iowa. Land
was SO low in value and so trifiing ~
public esteem as to make its posses
sion fairly a matter Of reproach.
This Spirit Lake writer saw differ
emit picture when he made his second
trip over this stretch of country ana
he marveled at the changes made by
the march of progress since those "du-
bious days. No, tract of wild land re-
mains along the way, he says. Fine
farms are in evidence everywhere and
abundant crops betoken continued
prosperity. Fine fat draft horses have
taken the place of the pioneer ponies.
Carriages are owned at every farm
house and along the way appear men
and women and children bearing on
their comely persons evidences OF easy
circumstances Comfortable homes and
big red barns dot the landscape and
the school house appears at frequent
intervals. Telephone poles and mail de-
livery boxes would have been strange
objects to our pioneers-a almost as
much Of wonder as the automobiles
SO common along the way.
It is a pretty picture that unfolds to
the beholder as progress is made
across these prairies. The pioneer was
the salt of the earth and the landscape
in state Of nature has indutiable
charm. But it is incomparably crafty

THE MAINE RESULT,

IL Inc clcCJlOu OF uoulOCFdLlC gov
ernor, two and possibly more con
gressmen and democratic legislature
that will elect a United States senator
in such rock bound republican state
as Maine should bring the republican
factionists to pause for reflection. II
the republicans persist in carrying
their factional quarrels to the polls. in.
stead of settling them at the primaries
or state conventions, there will be the
same result in many states now con
trolled by the republicans when the
votes are counted in November.
All republicans must see the utter
futility of carrying q fight to such an
extreme as to bring on defeat. The
most rabid nationalist must see the
danger of pushing party quarrels to
the point of disaster.
It is generally agreed among all
republicans that the present session
of congress has established q record
for needed legislation that surpasses
the efforts of any former congress
President Taft was given loyal support
in securing the enactment of laws to
carry out the republican platform
pledges. The record is such that the
republicans can, II they will, go before
the people in November and win q
sweeping victory at the polls. The
republican president and the repub.
lican congress have made good. II
they do not win such q victory there
will be but one thing to blame, the
quarrels within the party. Republican
candidates in republican states will
not be defeated by democratic votes
If they are defeated at all 1t will be by
republican votes, just as the repub
lican candidate for governor, the re
publican congressional candidates and
the. republican legislative candidates
lin Maine were defeated by repub'
licans.
The record of the democracy In the
present congress is simply a repetition
of its past history. Democratic mem
bers voted against all the progressive
legislation enacted. Their efforts were
directed at blocking every measure
proposed for the benefit Of the people.
Given majority in the next congress
they will be in a position to more eft
fectually block the progress Of legisla'
ton, and in addition, they will tie the
hands of the president and plunge not
only party affairs but business affairs
into chaos. And looking ahead farther
there is the general election OF 1912
the result of which will depend much
upon the outcome of the congressional
and state elections this fall
It is time for every republican to
consider the wisdom Of biting of his
nose to spite his face.

If a set of boys at college, or a
number of pillow boys in the field did
as little work as the Mississippi legis-
lators have done, and did
their work as poorly, the col
lege boys, would all get fired and
the pillow boys, If they were negroes,
would be knocked in the head. 1t is
one of the most remarkable things in
the world that Representative men,"
chosen from their several commu-
mites as representative men, when
they get away from home will
become so utterly careless, so neg
glectful, Indifferent and wasteful, as
the average legislator is. 1t is not
peculiar to the Mississippi legislature;
it is the same nearly everywhere. It
goes to show. beyond the peradven-
ture 20 a. doubt. that what this coun-
try needs most, of all its rany needs,

The committee to solicit subscrip-
tons to stock in the Mississippi Val
ley Transportation Company, after
resting Saturday and Sunday, took up
their burden again yesterday. The
matter is expected to be closed up tlis
week or not at all 1t will be sorry
day for Hattiesburg if this opportunity
to secure better freight rates is ne
elected. In our opinion it will be a
penny wise and pound foolish" policy
for those who are most largely inter-
ested in the future growth and pros
perity of Hattiesburg, not to invest
the small sum asked for, in freight
rates. The stock itself has promise
of being good; worth the money; but
aside from that this investment in
freight rates, if not single share of
stock was ever issued, would be
good investment. But will we get
the rates." some of the doubling
Thomases say. Well, if the subscrib-
ers do not get the rates, they will not
have to pay their notes; and for the
small amount of cash they are called
upon to pay in, only $500. they get
contract to have their money re-
funded if freight is not being deliv-
cred at a specified time at the agreed
rates. That is about as near a safe
and sure proposition as any commu-
nifty ever received from any railroad.
or transportation company; and the
community that expects a guarantee
company to come along and guaran-
tee something like hundred per cent
dividend the first year ON any pro-
posed public enterprise. will have to
take the other end of the string and
become the guarantors, for there is
no other company in that line of bus
mess so far. 1t is an open field if
anybody in Hattiesburg wants to oc-
cupyit.
