ANAryzlNe THE RESULT.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, IN an
analysis of the returns OF the recen.
special election in the ninth Iowa dis
trict takes issue with the democratic
claim that the result showed gains lot
Democracy. The Nonpareils article
was in answer to claim Of the Omaha
World-Herald that the special election
this spring showed bigger gain 1or
the democrats than was made In l9lo
when Judge Smith was elected TO
congress by a n reduced majority
Quoting the majorities given In the DIS.
trict from 1900 to the recent special
election the World Herald said:
7'rr.sIn 1900 the district went republican
nv 6,948: in 1902 by 1858; in ] 904, by
1897: in 1906 by 8,613; IN 1908 by
1854. and in 1910, the year OF the great
democratic landslide, it still went re-
publican by 1,847.
This year the republican majority
Il reduced to- about 1900. In other
words the republicans are 80 per cent
weaker among the voters interested
enough to go to the polls, than 1t was
even last year, when it was vastly
weaker than ever before in its history
There has been no turn in the sentl-
ment which elected the present demo-
cratic congress. The trend is even
more strongly now than a year ago
toward the democratic reform policies.
"Of course" says the Nonpareil in
renly Figures will not prevaricate IN
themselves, but they may BE so man1p-
,lated as to create false Impressions.
For instance: In the l90S election
there was cast for president In the
ninth district, 4A,331 votes and out OF
these Taft had plurality over Bryan
Of $3.50. In the same election there
was cast for congressman only. 1900
votes. and out of this number Judge
Smith received a plurality over his
democratic opponent Of 10,897. Less
than one-half the voters who cast bal
lots in the election voted for congress
man. There was really no congress
aional race that year. It was only
,formality.
am the election in the fall of 1910
there were cast in the district for gov
/ ernor, 37,573 votes. On this vote, which
WAS something more than 10 per cent
Hess than that cast in the presidential
\ election two years before, Governor
Carroll had plurality of 3,791. In the
congressional contest in the same cleo
ton there was much interest and in
stead of less than one-half the voters
registering their preference for. this
office the percentage was more than
95. Out Of total Of $4,000 votes in
round numbers, Judge Smith received
plurality Of 1900. In the recent spe-
cial election there were cast approx
imately 10000 votes, and out of this
number Judge Green receives plu-
rality Of 1900. Judge Green's majority
constitutes per cent of the vote cast,
while Judge Smiths majority was
bout per cent of the vote cast.

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF IN
SURGENCY.

: Certain insurgent senators are in
dignant over stories that represented
them as having decided to support
Taft for denomination" says the Chi
cago Record-Herald in an editorial in
today's issue. 1T Is now reported
that not seven, nor five, but only two
of the militant progressives in the SEN
ate are avowedly for the president
The others are still against him, and
are urging La Toilette to announce q
rival candidacy.
Elm sober truth 1t is matter or no
consequence whatever whether five,
two or none Of the insurgents are with
the president. It is matter Of inter-
est psychologically and politically that
the insurgents should be blind to rhe
great change that they have uncon-
sciously helped to bring about and to
the salient facts of the present situa-
ton. Insurgency has declined and is
vanishing as serious factor. The
rank and file of the republican party
are as progressive as they were a
year ago, If not even more progress
sive, but they no longer look to the
insurgents for leadership, inspiration
or guidance. The progressive senti-
ment is now with or behind Taft, while
the insurgents are like generals who
have lost their armies.
How and why has this extraordin-
airy transformation been brought
about? One observer suggests that it
is reciprocity that has broken down
the fighting front of the progressives.'
This is true, but it is not the entire
truth. AS regards reciprocity, Taft
has been stanch, Independent, cour-
ageous and consistent, while the insur-
gents have been ,timid, weak, lame and
insincere. But reciprocity alone would
not have killed insurgency. What is
fatal to it is the lack Of reason for
existence Taft has proved himself SO
good an all-around progressive that
further talk of revolt would be ridicu-
lous. His attitude on arbitration, the
trust problem, Mexico, law reform,
piecemeal tariff revision, conservation,
etc., has been SO enlightened, so judic-
ious, SO high-minded that the voters
see nothing to criticise and much to
approve and indorse. What griev-
ances have the insurgents now? You
cannot prosper by exploiting little per-
sonal matters or corrected mistakes
of others; issues must be real and
vital On the questions now current
Taft is thoroughly sound, liberal and
candid, and the average progressive

of interest, and the injection of reci-
procity as further element of discord,
the republicans were able to chit the
grit" for relatively larger majority
than that of last fall and when another
year passes they will be back to nor
NAL conditions and will give the repub-
lican state and national tickets six to
eight thousand majority. Fractional
ism and other elements of discord have
gone their limit in the ninth and have
failed to reduce the republican vote
to a minority. With progressives and
standpatters playing the game square,
and with proper respect for each other,
the fellows on both sides who have
been boiling nominations that did not
suit them, are going to change their
modes and get regular.
Here are two facts which will bring
about this end: Cd The republican
record, on the whole, in both state and
nation, is sound and satisfactory. (2)
No division of opinion exists among re-
publicans, that would not under sim
liar conditions, exist to an even
greater degree, in any other party"

Senator McCumher says the practice
has grown on the part of candidates
of establishing and purchasing papers
by wholesale and retail" to discredit
their opponents and win the offices
they seek. The senator should be
more explicit. He should mention any
papers he knows have sold out to poll
ticians If he expects any weight to be
given his assertions. From this dis
lance it locks as if Mr. McCumber is
talking through his hat.

Noting that China has asked Mexico
to pay an indemnity of $6.OOO,OOO for
the killing of a number of Cinnamon
during the revolution and has sent a

Chicago Record-Herald observes that
China has much more tender regard
for Cinnamon who leave home than
for those who stay in China and starve
to death or die of the plague.

THE sEvENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST

THE SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST.
.sThe seventeen-year locust is pest,
but not DANGER" according to the
New York American. ''Dr. Howard,
chief Of the government entomology
bureau, emphasizes this fact by saying
that single field mouse or rabbit
does infinitely more harm than a
swarm of ,cicadae. =,
The real locust is the grasshopper.
Billions of his kind swept Kansas clean
Of every green thing back in '76, but
luckily his day has gone Cultivated
lands and settled sections have put
an end to his forays.
According to DR.. Howard, some one
Numbered in calling the cicada a
locust at all. The name itself spreads
terror-it calls to mind at once the
biblical plague Of the = locusts and
forms a good working basis for run
away imaginations.
During the Kansas visitation an en-
terprising restaurateur served up To-
Gusts under another name and found
the dish in great demand. The ex-
pertinent, says DR.. Howard, went far
to convince many that the 1ocusts and
wild honey OF which John the Baptist
partook were the insects and not the
fruit of>the tree, as generally believed.
The idea is further borne out when 1t
is, remembered that the first locust
tree that, Europe ever knew arrived
there from the United States in the
eighteenth century. s.,

the cicadae are as the voices of a

The Neal TTeatm .nt
and the Alcohol Cure
In Three Days the Patient Is
Free From the Desire

1t is an important point in the treat
ment Of periodical and habltual drunk
eness to reduce as much as possible the
time, and expense required to obtain
cure. This may be done at the Neal In
stitute in Omaha at 1902 South 10th St;
where patients are perfectly cured Of all
desire for alcoholic drinks in three days
time.
The Neal Treatment not only destroys
the craving for alcohol, but in addition
it restores the debilitated- and weakened
system TO a normal vigorous condition.
This destruction Of alcoholic crave, and
up-bulding Of the patients general health
is accomplished without hypodermic injec-
tions or injurious drugs; only 25 doses of
this specific for alcoholism are required
to effect a cure From the very first
dose almost all desire for drink is re-
moved, and a perfect cure is effected in
three days time.
That the Neal Cure does cure and that
the results are permanent is an estab-
lished fact beyond controversy and IL is
being acknowledged daily by hundreds of
grateful patients who have been cured.
We guarantee to accomplish a cure lin

Those In for Creating Town

The petition to create new town
to be known as the town of Sioux
River. out of the territory now in
the towns of Bayfield, and Wash
burn, which was to have been pre-
sented before the circuit court at
Ashland Monday, has been aband
oned by those back of the project
and the matter will be dropped for
the present at least There was
considerable opposition to the crea-
ton of the new town, especially
from those residing in the town of
Washburn and it would have been
impossible to have secured enough
signatures. The laws which were
changed at the last session of the
legislature, also makes it more diff
cult to create town, as it is neces.
sary to have government town
ship in each town.

Dear Sir:
Seemingly. at least, the petitions
presented to the City Council in re-
gard to Pool rooms and theatres =
brought no practical results.
All respectable Citizens will agree
however, that reform is needed.
Minors should pc kept out of the
the Pool rooms.
Some of the pictures shown at the
Theatres have an immoral and de-
moralizing tendency, and they
should not be tolerated.
l. would bring about change to
the better if no pictures were allow
ed to be exhibited except such as
have been approved by the Nationa
Board of Censorship. Such reso
luton can be passed and ought to be
passed and enforced.
And finally as the City is in direct
need of money at-all times, how
would it be to collect the license
money from parties concerned?
Respectfully Yours.
A Citizen.
