dream, and they have earned the right
to it. Yet they may find that it Is
rather far cry from squeezing in one
congressman from Milwaukee to elect
ing a president Of the United States.
There have been many third parties
in the land, from the days Of the old
Knownothings and Free Sellers down
to the Greenbackers, Prohihitionists
and Populists. And they all sang that
same glad song. Only little longer,
brethren, for the light is breaking and
the truth Will prevail! Well, in the
end the truth did prevail after Il fash
ion, but not through their parties The
Greenbacllers elected many congress-
men and governors of states, vet they
went the way of the earth. The Pop
ulists in little more than two years
jumped up TO Il strength of nearly
100000 votes had twenty-five or thir
ty congressman, six OF eight senators
and more than that number of COVER
nors YET they likewise took the long
trail Exactly so, retort the Social
lists, but the Greenbackers and Popu-
lists fused themselves 10 death, and we
have resolved never to fuse Wen,
that may be Il saving grace. and it
may not. The Prohlbitionists never
fused.
Third Parties Do Good.
All these new parties make for good
IN the end. They sow the seed, and
these terminate and grow, but others
reap the harvest. The spirit of Pop
ulism was carried forward by Bryan
and Roosevelt. ana now the progress
sives are bearing it along. SO even if
the Peoples party died its labor was
not wholly in vain The Prohibition
lists never elected a president or any
| other official to speak of. vet county
after county and state after state are
adopting some form of.prohibition.
The pioneer grubs put a little clear
| ing in the forest and there dies and is
buried. Years afterward city springs
lap where his cabin stood. The millions
in the city may not remember even the
pioneers name. Yet he played his part
in the drama Of progress. All honor to
the political pioneers in whatever camp
they are found. Whatever of truth
they utter will live after them aud win
ultimately triumph, though not IN their
way nor yet IN their day.
In some aspects the Socialist party
lis different. however from any Of those
that have gone before. For one thing,
| II has an existence in many lands, 1t
is the balance OF power hi Germany,
! Is very influential In france and has a
strong footing IN Great Britain and
generally throughout Europe! For an
other thing, it is compactly organized
and Its devotecs are zealots, as ready
to 80 to Jail as to congress. Fer a third
thing. it VIII not enter into combina-
ton with other parties, as already
noted For a fourth, Its elected repre-
sentatives are not liable to betray and
liscredit 1t, since each one leaves a
written resignation in the hands Of his
local organization, to be sprung at1any
time that he goes counter to the party =
will All these things make for per-
manence and solidarity a word al
most ais much In vogue among the COM
rades as Fsclass consciousness"

Haskell Town
Lot Cases Are
Continued
Trial of Governor of Oklahoma and
Associates is Postponed Until
Next Term of Court.

TULSA, Okl., May 3.-The trial of Charles
N. Haskell, governor of Oklahoma, and five
other men in the MuslSogee town lot cases
this afternoon was continued until the next
term of the federal court. The postpone
ment precudes any further hearing in the
case during the next five weeks.
More delay in the trial Of Charles n.
Haskell, governor OF Oklahoma, and five
other men in the Muskogee town lot case
was experienced today when the federal
court adjourned until afternoon to allow
Haskell IS attorney to prepare his argument
for continuance.
Haskell asked for a continuance on the
ground that the government had denied
him access to documents in possession of
papers, he declared, would show that when
the Creek town lots were disposed of in
1901, the government approved of the trans
action. sylvester Rush, special attorney
general, argued that Governor Haskell and
his co-defendants were attempting to bring
about delay.
They have asked the government for
hundreds of documents without knowing
what the papers contain" said MIR. Rush.
These defendants are on fishing expedi-
ton in the hope that somewhere or some
how they will be able to get something
that will be of value to their defense"
1t was declared that the Department of
the Interior had teegraphed that all of the
papers asked for had been forwarded here.

One VindiCation
for Ballinger
Supreme Court of District of Colum-

from the Records.

WASHINGTON. May S-Secretary Bal
linger received what might be called one
vindication in the supreme court of the
District OF Columbia today when a charge
that he had shirked his duty as secretary
of the interior was ordered expunged from
the record.
In an injunction proceeding In connection
with homestead claims on the Slletz Indian
reservation in Oregon the petition alleged
that because Mr.. Ballinger, as a lawyer,
had been counsel for some of the claim
ants, he refused to pass upon the case
when he came into office and delegated
the work to his first assistant Franz
Pierce, and had therefore refused to give
the benefit of his judgment and had there
fore shirked his duty.
Secretary Ballinger denied the imputa-
tion, declaring that the cases had been
referred to Mr. Pierce in the regular course
of business as the latter had direct charge
Of general land office affairs and the
court struck out the charge.

In the meantime 1t Is worth while for the
people of Nebraska to inquire what special

pie chance to vote on public questions. "
II. II. Hanks was here from Nebraska

Executive Reads Dispatches from
Washington on situation.
CINCINNATI o., May 3.-President Tar,
read with'keen interest the dispatches from
Washington, dealing with the critical situ-
alton in which the administration railroad
bill had BEEN placed. lie had received
the news he said, however over the tsLS-
phone from Washington.
The president would make no comment
for publication regarding the attitude Of
the insurgents in the senate and house. to-
ward the MEASURE.
Several times OF late to those who have
talked with him. 1t has seemed that the
president was about to make some state
ment regarding the situation in congress
but he has refralned, evidently, in the hope
that matters would right themselves.
Mr.. Taft is far from having lost all hope
but it is believed he is discouraged by the
lack Of support from men who nomInally
belong 10 the party. As there seems to bs
lack OF a working majority in either
branch OF congress the chances for the
various administration measures seem any
thing but bright.
The pre- rssident explained today that he
was not sufficiently acquainted with the
latest details OF the situation in Washing.
ton TO allow him to comment on the rail-
road bill.
But the morning papers publish an obit
uary OF the bill," suggested one OF his
interyiewers.
Many obituaries are premature" re.
torted the president.
