insurgency Spreads.

Insurgencytis rampant throughout
the middle west and the western
states, and us making Roadway in
the east. What does it mean? What
is the significance of this rebellion
within the republican ranks? 1t is
a protest, says, the Boston Traveller.
The great republican party, once the
party of personal freedom and hui
man rights, has become the party
Of Industrial slavery and the guar
dian OF property rights. Decade by
decade it has yfostered a system of
legislation and control that has
placed business oligarchy at the
head Of industry and government,
and made popular rule more and
more of a mock cry.
The fact hast become so clear, the
issue between ksproperty rights and
human rights | so definitely drawn,
that honest republicans who wear
no plutocratic goggles and do not
bow the knee in partisan idoltary
will no longer tolerate such abuses.
These men are insurgents, as the
founders OF the republican party
were insurgents. They are trying to
bring the republican party back to
first principles. They want to free
the slaves of theSnew social system,
and guarantee them human rights
henceforth. And If there fis any sal
walton for the republican party, the
way to that salvation is pointed by
the insurgents.

Ignorance IL Bliss.

II we knew the disappointmentB
Waiting for US round the bend,
Could we only scent the trouble
That its talons would extend.
Could We just observe our hnish
Laying for us on the sly,
Would we be so very happy
AS the days are going byf
Could we look into the future
And the bumps ahead discern
That we're lying there 20 meet US
In the road at every turn
Would we wreath our glad young faces
In the framework OF a smile
As we paused upon our journey
Just to rest a little while?
But we cannot see tomorrow,
So rosy view we hold
or the days that are before us
And the things they will unfold
We refuse TO judge the future
BY what's lying In the past.
And We think that we are listed
AS the hero Of the cast.
II is well that what is coming
Should be hidden from our sight
II we knew the worst, fancy
That I'VE wouldn't sleep at night.
We may just as well go dreaming
That good luck our life win I'LL
AS we drift along the current.
And who knows but what II WIFI

ment, for the credit OF the maker Of
the obligation had been sadly impaired
by the record of years of broken
pledges.
IF President Taft had displayed but
half the zeal in an attempt to force
congress to reduce the tariff taxation
on the necessities of life that he dis
played in securing those reductions of
duty which will result In greater
profits to the protected manufacturers,
already enriched by operation of tar
III laws beyond the dreams of avarice,
he would have earned the right to say
that as the endorser of the Repub-
lican party's promises he had saved
its obligation from protest
American People Deceived.
"If he had been but half as anxious
to save the pennies of the working
man by giving him cheaper cotton
goods as he was to save the dollars
of the steel trust by dumping into its
mills it's raw materials at much re-
duced expense, his name would have
been enshrined in the hearts of the
poor as his praises are now sung in
the counting houses of protected
wealth.
The reduction in the tariff on lum-
Der was described by Mr.. Palmer as
purchased ''at the price of trade war
with Canada, now all too imminent,
which is liable to bring into operation
the maximum rate provided in the law
and increase the tariff on lumber prod
ucts by 100 per cent"
ITO say that the American people
were deceived" he proceeded, "by the
double play of rather plant execu-
tive and an astute leader of the Re-
publican organization during the last
inning of the tariff game is to impute
to the citizens of this country a lack
Of intelligence for which there is no
warrant in their record for prompt
punishment they have meted out in
the past to parties recreant to their
trust"
The thrilling events of the last few
days in congress, the Pinchot incident,
postal savings bank and federal cor
p0rations all were included In Repre-
sentative Palmer's diatribe.

IOWA CRASH CAUSED |
DEATH or FORTY-F|vE
Rock Island Disaster Worst In
History Of State

Marshalltown, Ia, March 23-The
Iowa board of railway commissioners
has arrived here to Investigate the
causes which led to the disastrous
Rock Island railway wreck. The ex-
act time the train left Marshalltown
win be sought in m effort to show
that possible order Of the train dis
patcher as to what speed should OBJ
tain might have been violated. A
board will also inquire into the two
hours delay Of the railway company
In getting reserves to the scene.
Hundreds OF people gathered before
the undertaking establishment where
forty-five victims OF the wreck are laid
out. Relatives and friends mingled
with the curiosity seekers who seemed
scarcely less eager to catch sight
OF the unfortunatss who had 30 sud-
denly perished.
Three more victims died since mid
night. bringing the list Of known dead
70 forty-f1ve and making the catastro-
phe the greatest in the history OF the
state.
The little embalming room ct the
back OF the undertaking rooms proved
entirely inadequate for demands. In
consequence furniture was hurriedly
removed from large store adjoining
to give sufacient room for the dead
Five long rows of bodies extended
from the rear to the front leaving
scarcely passageway between for the
undertakers.
Although debris from the wreck had
been cleared away trains are still rum
ming over temporary tracks. The
hu1ks Of the two engines remained
alongside the rails and almost entire
u buried in bank of clay.

UNCLE JOE not
SAYING MUCH
Speaker Taking Back Seat
Since His Defeat.
UP TO THE INSURGENTS

Presiding Officer Of He .se Declares
That Majority Who Downed the Or
ganixation Last Saturday Is Now
Responsible for Legisiation--Great
interest Manifested In the Makeup
Of the New Committee on Rules.
Washington, March 23.-Speaker
Cannon Is not taking any leading or
dominating part In the proceedings OF
the house, nor is he talking for pub
lication as to his attitude on the sub
ject.
From source very near the speak
er 1t was learned that he felt that the
majority which had taken control Of
things last Saturday was now respon-
sible for legislative matters and that
It might be poor taste for him to make
suggestions or to attempt to have any
thing to do with the directing of af-
fairs.
The one thing which is of greatest
interest and which is expected to grow
N interest until finally settled was the
composition of the new rules commit
tee. The fact most prominent in the
situation seemed to be that large
number OF the insurgents" will insist
upon knowing In advance of caucus
action who the Republicans are to be
and upon the privilege of placing an
20. K" on such committeeman.
Representative Hayes Of California,
who has presided over ali meetings Of
the insurgents" during the present
session, stated it was certainty that
q conference of the insurgents"
would be called on this subject be-
tween now and the date Of the Repub-
hcan caucus.
Mentioned az Democratic Member.
Representative Lincoln Dixon of In
diana is prominently mentioned as
one of the Democratic members of the
rules committee.
Many committees of the house have
ASouAACu thCA SCocAOuS lUI tuc ti&uS-
action of business. Representative
Townsend of Michigan, who has the
administration railroad bill in charge,
stated that he expected to be able to
report that measure out Of committee
shortly.
There was considerable speculation
over the probable personnel OF the
rules committee under the Norris res
olution. Various states were con-
structed.
IF l were going to forecast the Re
publican members of the committee, =
said one prominent Western Repub-
lican representative, who has been In
close counsel with colleagues in the
house and Intimately associated with
the speaker. this would be my guess ::
Dalzell Of Pennsylvania and Walter
L Smith Of Iowa 1.-TWO members Of the
present conmittee), ]. 8. Fassett OF
New York. DENNY Of Michigan, McKin-
ley Of Illinois and probably Gardner
Of Massachusetts,"
The last named representative has
al along refrained from anything OF
personal antagonism to the speaker
and is the only insurgent acceptable
to all Of the regulars.
