as though they were of that family,
though they might need to have q law
suit to prove it.
So they painted "progressive'' on the
sides OF the two wheeled cart that con-
tanned the personel of the crowd and
then hitched to Folly'' convinced that
they would now rise to heights hitherto
unknown in politics and feed ill the

city called Chicago, his gas engine got
out af order, and down came baby and
all.
Did it hurt EN-? Not bit. As We
said elasticity is the one great quality of
the crowd. The cart only bounded up
into the air with Judge Lauder IN the
shafts who just tied the vehicle to led.
dy Roosevelt's airship in a jiffy. Two
months ago these people refused 10 ac-
company Teddy in his mrial flights, but
now they are ION behind" riding with
out his permission, which however only
again proves the india rubber powers Of
stretching possessed by this funny
crowd.
At present the 'caoutchoucic. pro-
gressive" faction of North Dakota is
making cycles like tin can tied to a
dogs tail. Poor dog. While we must
smile we cannot help but pity him.

The tax levy for the ensuing year was
made last week as shown in the COM
missioners proceedings printed in this
issue. In the estimate of the money
needed for the use Of the county we find
new item, "Sheriff salary, deputies
and mileage e4OUo'' and following that
the item '.Jailor $780," Heretofore the
sheriff has been paid entirely by the
fee system. but the last legislature
changed the law so that the sheriff be.
comes salaried officer. It will make
the Office more desirable in this couaty
as in late years the Office Of sheriff has
not been very lucrative, as this county
has had so little litigation Of any kind,
few boarders at tho Jail, and compare
tive few foreclosures.

THE cAoUTcHoUc CROWD

u b I. - . s.
The political term progressive as
used or abused in this state Of North
Dakota has assumed caoutchoucic
qualities in a most amusing degree. It
has become so elastic as to cover any
sort Of political complication.
The advice Of some old Boston fellow
Of years ago, ITO hitch your wagon to .
star" has been SO faithfully carried out
that the progressive" stables are now
full Of ring -boned and spawned equines
with faded stars under their forelocks.
Originally in this state there was body
Of insurgents whose progenitors on
the mothers side were called 'mug-
wumps'' while the father was Of the
race Of .kickere." The descendant took
after his dad mostly, in length Of ears.
nse Of heels and fondness for oats from
the public crib.
We will not attempt at this time to
detail all the different celestial bodies
to which the band wagon Of the insur-
gent herEaphrodite has been hitched
during the last ten ora dozen years in
North Dakota, but it is matter Of
common knowledge and is written down
in the poll books Of history.
It is also matter Of record that mono
ofthese supposed stellar equines were
trpe stars but have proved to be but
msteors which have invariably fallen to
earth-and sometimes even found
themselves in courts accused Of false
pretences. 35,.
But rs We said, the caontchouc quail.
ties Of the insurgents have always.
brought them to. the front smiling as
though nothing had happened. Or,g,-g
nAlly the faction was made up of peo.
pie who were against Alex. That was
tho shibboleth and pass. word. Along.
