this youth. Shercnffe was the son
OF Wall street broker, who. himself
an old western man. had decided that
taste OF roughing il IN Arizona was
what the younEster needed TO mold
him into shape. with which object he
had consigned him 20 the tender mer-
cies OF Haines with instructions to put
him to work and keep him there for a
year
When the train rolled Ia and John b.
Sherclife stepped OF a Pullman was
rather agreeably impressed with his
appearance. He was a tall, well-set-
up young fellow with a frank. open
countenance and devoid OF that air
OF superiority to all things not truly
eastern that too often characterizes
the cultured tenderfoOt new 70 the
ways Of the west On closer &C
quaintance he turned out to be n very
decent sort OF chap and accepted with
perfect good humor the jests perpe-
trated at his expense by the mischief

There we're two things greatly In
Sherclitfe's favor that helped nightly
toward fitting him into the groove of
his new life. A lover OF horsefiesh

was far above the average of most new
arrivals. Consequently 1t was not long
before he became "one OF the boys"
and the tenderfoot varnish wore or

not long after his arrival that news
OF Bull Grierson's return to Arizona
reached as. He had been seen and
recognized fl a town about 60 miles
from Phoenix. and as there was a re-
ward OF $4,000 offered by the express
company for the capture OF the outlaw.
his probable movements formed an IN
teresting topic OF conversation among
the members OF the Big Sembro aggre-

Like myself. Shercliie had been
appointed a deputy sheriff. at Haines'

Shercliffe had sense enough to shake
his head negatively.

Grierson grinned again.

deed And this leads us to the focus or the present inquiry. How does the inter pretation which Colonel Roosevelt has placed on republican insurgency measure up with the phenomenon of insurgency itself? What are the motives back or that interpretation? E Insurgency is a protest. Its merit lies in that and It's defects lie in the fact that 1t Is only a protest and nothing more.
 There is no democratic insurgency Why? Because neither the policies nor the con ditions of the democratic party are such as to drive Its members to revolt. Be- cause insurgency follows somewhat diff ferent lines in different states, certain
 writers, either self-deceived or -wilfully trying to deceive others, have argued that
 insurgency Is merely local issue. On the contrary, the diverse forms of insur- gency, so far from being evidence that it was no national aspect, simply prove that 1t is resenting a host of abuses. In insurgency the republican party is pay ing a tremendous penalty for repudiating its tariff revision pledges. but the pun ishment Is not being exacted for the tariff fraud alone. The sentence which the re- publican electorate Is passing on the re- publican party covers the whole vile be- trayal of popular welfare to special priv ilege; vending of legislation for money and barter of 1t for favors; the swindle of the nation. by forcing 1t to buy rivers
