AN INTENSITY OF
 PARTISAN SEIFISHNESS
AND NGRATITUDE


 1 Much moro notable than the fact 1 that InSurgent Senator Cummins was
 called upon to open the campaign of
 the Republican regulars in Chicago,
 was his utterance there, to the effect
 that it is better to support the worst possible Republican than the best | possible Democrat for office. It is almost impossible to realize that
 Progressive of Senator Cummins' prominence and professed adherence
 to the highest standards of public
 morality, could have uttered a senti- ment which must be classed far below the lowest standard of political de-
 cency
 For many years, the Republican
 party has appealed, in crises. for In
 dependent Democratic support, and
 has received it in a number of cases Independent Democrats naturally ex-
 pected that whenever their party
 merited Independent Republican sup
 port, it would be given. Instead. they receive from one of the more prOmi- nent leaders of that element "a slap in the face''-a clear statement that the worst briber and corruptionist, the most interruptions of campaign work CTS, the most greedy of trust manag- CTS, if he but carries the label Re publican, is better than any Demo- crat, however high in personal char acter and however devoted to the peoples welfare. Such a statement indicates an intensity of partisan sel- fishness that is beyond estimate.
 How much success would Cumnins, La Toilette and the other Insurgent Senators have met in their attacks upon the Administration railroad bill. if the Democratic Senators had not supported them but. instead, had left them to skin their own skunks'', if they could? How could the Repub- Iican Insurgents in the House have succeeded in eliminating Cannon from the committee on Rules, but for Dem ocratic aid?
 Suppose the Democrats of both houses had acted upon the principle, a parallel of Cummins' principle as above quoted, that the worst possible Republican bill and the worst possi ble Rules committee were better than the best possible Anti-Regular Repub- lcan move, where would the Insur- gents of either branch of Congress have come out? They would have minority, and wholly insignificant except in volume of sound. They 1 asked for Democratic aid in worthy | causes and received it; now one of their leaders says, in substance, that no person or measure. carrying the | label s'Democratic", is worthy of Re publican support against the worst | possible that is labelled Republican, ' l
 If Senator Cummins correctly rep | resents thes Independent Republican | sentiment of the West, that element | is out of harmony with the Indepen- | dent Republicans of the East and | ranks far below them. There have | been several eases this year when Eastern Republicans repudiated, by their votes, this Cumnlins sentiment, and more are indicated by the signs of the times. ----

The Needed Neilines

Boisterous Aut u m n winds. play rudely with hats and hair, but the woman who goes about with a becoming veil tied snugly around her head is sure of keeping in order. And the Veils,-they are bewitching.
 Is it for motor wear?
 The latest fad is 8 long Scarf Veil with a piece of elastic shirred within the
 heIn,a button at one end and a loop at the other. This fastens about the neck and keeps everything right.
 Button Wells are in all fashionable shades, as are the voluminous Squares and Scarfs of chiffon cloth
 Chantilly Lace Wells in either white or black.
 Novelties in Mesh Wells, squares, dots, figures.
 Take time to make se- lections carefully. A Veil should be tried before a mirror.
 Remember the Special in P. N. Corsets! Two dol lar models for $1.OO. @

NEW MORNING PAPER

The expected change in the name Of
the Daily News Of Fargo took place just
before Christmas and henceforth the
morning paper Of the Gateway city will
be known as The Fargo Courier-News.
Last fall the Courier Publishing Co. was
INCORPORATED and capitalized for $50. 600.
and it vas understood at the time that
the News would either be suspended OF
absorbed by the new publishing
company. In due time the News was
sold under foreclosure proceedings which
enabled the consolidated company to Get
possession Of the plant and in this way
a large indebtedness was wiped out.
The News vas a financial disappoint-
ment to every one who took hold of it,
snd there are, various stock contributors
over the state who a testify to the
same experience.
Walter F. Cushing is managing editor
of the Courier-News and NH Hatcher is
business manager. Mr.. Cushing vas for
merly with the Bismarck Daily Tribune,
and it has been his wish for several
years to be placed in charge of an in
dependent daily paper in North Dakota.
and as this is the policy announced by
the new publication it seems that his
wish has at last been satisfied.
Fargo ought to support just as good a
news-eathering morning paper as the
Grand Forks Herald and here is hoping
that she does.
