Within Party Lines.

The sentiment expressed at the re-
publican banquet just held in Omaha,
but participated in by representatives
from all sections of the state, is to the
effect that Nebraska republicans will
settle any differences they may have
within party lines, and when the time
comes present a solid front to the dem
ocratic opposition. Alleged diver
gences of opinion within republican
ranks have also apparently been
democratic organs and the few wobbly
newspapers that profess to be repub-
lican while bending most of their en-
ergies toward giving aid and comfort
to the enemy.
The democratic leadership and pro-
gram in Nebraska holds out absolutely
nothing to attract republicans. And
no republican, even though not en-
tirely satisfied with what has been
done at Washington so far, can see
any prospect of betterment by turning
over the responsibility for government
to democrats who have invariably
made a dismal failure whenever en-
trusted with power. The republican
party is, and always has been, a party
of progress and prosperity. 1t has
given the country and this state all
the really progressive legislation we
have had, in prompt response to pub
lie demands and needs, but without
getting ahead of the procession.
In Nebraska this year, as well as
throughout the country, the lines will
again be drawn between the repub-
licans as proposers and promoters OF
constructive legislation and the demo

structionists, Comparison of the rec.
ords of the present democratic gov.
ernor and legislature in Nebraska
with their republican predecessors is

and to the advantage of the repub.
licans. 1t is gratifying to know that
the party in Nebraska is made up OF
| live, up-to-date, wide-awake repub.
licans who are as fully agreed upon
republican principles as they ever
were, and thoroughly convinced-that
the best government we can have is g

Two years ago the railroads Intended
to advance rates, but were induced to
let well enough alone by the protests OF
labor, the commerce commission and a
presidential letter This year the situa-
ton is very different for all concerned,
and freight rate advances have been and
are being announced by the carriers every
where-east, west north and south In
New England passenger rates are also GO
ing up. and there il talk OF similar action
elsewhere.
Not unnaturally, these advances are at
tributable by the carriers to two things
the increased cost OF the materials they
use and the increase In wages demanded
and obtained by their employees. One esti-
mate puts the aggregate amount Of the
wage advances for the year at the 'lOo'-
OOc,OOO mark.
