The New Insurgent.

The Honorable Bill Stone, senator
from Missouri, slipped on his gum
shoes and tip-toed into the senate to
remark, quietly, in the midst of an ex-
citing debate on the railroad bill, Il
do not concur in Senator Rayners in
vitation for the republican insurgents
to come into the camp of democracy.
Indeed! And who could have
imagined he did concur? Why, he is
the originator of insurgency, a natu-
ral-born iconoclast He was the man
about whom the popular 'show-me"
phrase became identified with any
thing or anybody Missourian. He
never concurs in anything.
Senator Stones remark was not at
all germaine at the time, 1t was a sur
prise to everybody. for the Rayner
matter had been old for days But
the Missourian's strange move carries
its meaning, nevertheless. He added,
"for the democrats can do more good
where we are" More harm, more
bllSCulSit hC really liSdhI Il6 Hltdul
they could play more politics than
they could by cooperating with any
number of senators in serious effort
to enact needed legislation.
From the first the democratic pro.
gram has been to obstruct republican
measures, measures the people de
manded. They have succeeded in bur
dening the railroad bill with so many
amendments that 1t may sink under
its own weight. But the democrats
have not been able to do this alone
They have had the help OF some repub,
licans, who, If more earnest in theiI
| intentions, have not been half as wise
or wary. They have played into the
hands of democrats and helped them
manufacture campaign material.

passed at this session OF congress. II

eliminating inquiry for the cause and

Get Together.

The advocates of municipal owner
ship have nothing whatever to fear
from the demand that is being made
for a better and more ample supply
OF water for Omaha's users. That the
people of Omaha are committed to
public ownership of the water plant is
established by the fact that two large
issues of bonds have been carried by
decisive majorities. II is no defense
for the present condition to assert
that powerful enemies are under
taking to defeat municipal ownership.
No such intention is entertained.
What is desired is that some action
be taken looking to the relief of the
present condition. Medical experts
have condemned the water supply, and
other experts have added their con
domination The water company and
the Water board have agreed that the
service is not what it should be, and
yet the supporters Of the do-nothing
policy urge that Omahas citizens re-
main patient uuQeT tuS ndTuSulpS
they have so long endured. This advice
might be available If the impending
decision of the United States supreme
court were to be discounted. If the
decision is in favor of the city. the
work of appraisal must begin again
If it is In favor of the water com
pany, the city must accept the plant as
it stands. In either event the ex-
tensions and improvements required
must be made.
SO long as this must be done, and
the only thing in the way of doing it
is the failure Of the Water board and
the water company to agree on a plan,
it seems that to urge them to get to-
gether is not an unreasonable course.
The question of municipal ownership
is in no wise involved. 1t is merely
a question of furnishing water suit
able for domestic purposes and sufi-
cient for protection.

I'm TO Senator Lorimer

Many interests are vitality concerned
in the charges Of bribery in connec-
ton with the election of Senator Lori
mer of Illinois. Every member of the
legislature, regardless of party afilia-
ton has a duty in aiding the investi-
cation for the facts; the citizens of
Illinois should give any help that lies
within their power; the officials
charged with the work of law enforce
ment should stop at nothing short of
the most complete inquiry; the SEN
ate may have a duty later, but over
and above all William Lorimer owes
it to himself, to the legislature, the
people and the senate to give his most
vigorous support to every fair means
of getting at the facts in this case.
No consideration should deter him.
He has solemnly declared to the pub
lie that the charges preferred against
his personal and/offcial integrity are
false and based on attempt to ruin
him in public life. II the senator is
right, his accusers are wrong and
should be punished. Defaming pri-
vate character is a serious crime, so
is the betrayal Of public trust. Let

Much progress has been made in
late years toward turning the tide of
life from the city to the farm, but
much more must be made before the
conditions that provoked the cry,
Back to the farm" are substantially
overcome. The government has done
vast work in settling thousands of
people upon homesteads in the west
and private enterprise has lent some
aid; agricultural schools have accom-
pllshed splendid results in their cru
SADIE for more farmers and better
farming, but they have room for still
greater work.
Consumption is getting too far
ahead of production in this race of
economies for the safety of the coun-
try. Whether those students who say
that in very few years we will be
buying abroad instead of selling are
right or not, certainly they have some
ground for their apprehension in the
present cost of living, to say nothing
imports.
But IT is one thing to say that the
young men must stay on the farm, or
those in the city must go there, and
quite another thing to get them to do
this. II is often vain to get the other
fellow to see that this Is his duty, and
ii has not yet been possible to talk
down the lure of the city even by try
ing to blind your man with the dazzle
of potential wealth on the farm. This
is one of the most serious phases of
the problem and one to which Secre-
tary Wilson, James ]. Hill and other
pioneers in this crusade may well af-
ford to address themselves.
Before we come to this obstacle,
however, why not proceed to the ut
most possibility with the more simple
problem of intensified farming, Of
making two blades Of grass grow
where one grows now? 1t is admitted
that American soil should be made to
double its production. This work is
going on. under state and national SUI
pervision. Agricultural colleges are
achieving splendid results in it, and in
some cases railroads have taken it up.
1t could be made, it seems, to answer
the purpose until this tide of youthful
migration could be turned around.
And, in the meantime, the whole
problem will not be solved so long as
farms in old eastern states capable Of
producing good crops and selling at
SIS an acre are neglected or aban-
doned for places in the newer west,
where land is worth from 500 to
$500 an acre New York @railroads
are finally awakening to the peril Of
this situation and organizing educa-
tional campaigns. The problem is a
large, complicated one and will de-
mand the best thought of large men
before it is properly solved.

men do not have to see president to
know there is one, but seeing him
helps them to realize the possibilities
that lie before them. 1t Is a most
wholesome thing for the president to
go about among the people, come in
contact with them, let them see him
and know him. President Taft him

of this idea.
