Nebraska's Growth.

The grand assessment roll of Ne
braska shows an increase in round
numbers of $14,000.0OO for the year,
which really means a total increase in
valuation of property of all kinds of
$70,0OO,O0O. The total valuation of
property in Nebraska is now fixed at
above two billions of dollars. This is
a most convincing exhibit of the
growth of the state and the enterprise
of its citizens.
But little longer than a generation
ago Nebraska was wilderness of vir-
gin prairie, the range of deer and huff
falo and the hunting ground for In
dams. Within the easy span of a sim
gle human life all these conditions
have been changed and in Nebraska's
confines now are found the homes of
enterprising and energetic people
whose well directed efforts add annu-
ally millions to the permanent ma
terial wealth, not only of the state,
but of the nation.
The growth of the state has been
accomplished without the sensational
flourish that marked some of its
neighbors, but 1t is none the less sub
stantial and permanent. The citizan
of Nebraska acquainted with the re-
sources of his home need not dom his
hat to any other of the great common.

Keen the Record STRAIGHT

In Senator Burketts Washington hall
speech he told the audience with apparent
approval that down in Missouri the repub-
licans referred to progressive republicans as
rebels" instead OF insurgents.
This may be the fact but until Senator
Burkett gave II publicity no one in Ne
braska had heard of IT,
The term 'insurgent" was applied in good
nature and promptly accepted by the pro-
gressives as complimentary. Senator Bur
kett will hardly be able to rebaptize Ne
braska progressives. They are insurgents
and not rebels.--W ord-Herald
As matter of fact Senator Burkett
said nothing of the sort in his speech.
The chairman of the evening did make
reference to the fact that the demo
Gratis in Missouri preferred the title
rebel" to 'insurgent." In proof of
this assertion We cite the esteemed st.
Louis Republic, which is the leading
organ of the Missouri mossback
democracy, and is supposed to reflect
the sentiment of that wing OF the
party. The editor OF the World
Herald is very anxious to secure the
political downfall OF Senator Burkett
but should not persist in his misquo-
tation OF the senator's public utter.

Hoke Smith Bryan's Man.

Scarcely had the question been
asked as to Hoke Smiths acceptable
ity as Bryan's preferred candidate for
1912 than Mr., Bryan in his Commoner
answered all inquiries in this signif-
cant manner:
Hoke Smith is sturdy American He
appreciates the Importance of keeping the
special interests out Of political author

he has stood faithfully for his convictions.
Defeated two years ago by the corpora

able, faithful man win again hold the

nominate the Georgian for demoe-
racy's standard bearer two years
hence, but he comes as close to it az
political wisdom warrants and in time
may be expected to follow this up with
formal declaration in favor OF
Smith. OF course Mr.. Bryan does not
say so, but the element OF favorable
consideration in Smith that com
mends him most highly to the Peer
less Leader is that he has stood 10y
ally TO Bryan and Organism. Thar
counts for whole lot more than the
fact that he has stood for his 'convic

Taft The prnnressire

Insurgents must by now see and
ought to admit that they have not
stampeded the president; that with
all the campaign of carping criticism
waged against him he stands firm
footed on a platform of sane con-
servatism, leaning to neither extreme.
He has already proven himself very
safe and capable leader But the man
who does not now see that Taft is no
more of a reactionary than he is an in
surgent is either obtuse or unfair to
himself He has proven that he is a
progressive in all that that term i'm
plies for level-headed patriotism.
Is 1t not about time for the radicals
on both sides to make a few admis-
sions with reference TO the president
and a few concessions with reference
to themselves? Does not the good of
the republican party and the good of
the country demand it? They both
placed the president on trial; he has
withstood their buffeting. Now. is it
not their duty to render their verdict,
the only verdict which sober judgment
and sound reason could render?
Those republicans who go out into
the campaign and seek to exalt one
element of the party at the expense
OF the other are sure to face an inn
possible task and they will be con-
tributing the most potent influence to
democratic sucC ess. The party as a
whole was agreed upon and satisfied
with the platform of 1908. That plat
form made certain specific pledges to
the people. Under the insistent direc-
ton of the president, congress came
very near completing this entire pro-
gram and giving the country the laws
promised, so near. in fact, that II
should be able to finish the work al
the coming short session. No con-
gress since the civil war ever did as
much in so short time And every
body knows that but for the president
much Of the work would not have
been done
II that is not keeping faith with
the people, what is it? And IL Il il
keeping faith with the people, what
was it the radicals wanted or expected
that was not done? How are they
going to uphold themselves and pull
down the president? II what wal
done was not enough, was not right
who is to blame and why did they
stand upon the platform in the frs
place and join in making thes,
pledges?
So far as practical progressiveisn
goes, President Taft comes neare,
typifying it today than any other MAJ
in official life. AS the titular anC
actual head of the republican party
he represents progress and develop
ment in every act and utterance. an,
1t is progress and development tn,
people want. They are sick of mer,

Party lines sit very loosely in Ne
braska this year" says the World
Herald. with it's customary eve to end
of deluding republicans into voting
the democratic ticket on the so-called
nonpartisan quality of the campaign
AS a matter of fact there never was a
campaign in Nebraska in which party
lines should be drawn more closely.
1t is well for the voters to keep in
mind always that the editor OF the
world-Herald aspires to be elected to
the Office of United States senator, and
he knows he never can achieve this
ambition unless he is able TO secure
all the democratic votes in Nebraska
and a large number of republican
votes besides. 1t is for this and no
other reason that lie persistently
pirates about party lines being torn
down.
