"BARNEY" BRUCE DIZZY.

The Rolfe (Pocahontas county, Ar
row, edited by Barney" Bruce who
has heretofore had progressive lean
ings, grows dizZy-headed trying to
keep up with the procession and
pauses to ask himself a few questions
as follows:
We thought the preference primary
for senators good thing, but along
comes a national progressive leader,
Senator Bourne Of Oregon, after try
ing in two primaries and being de-
feated, nominating himself by petition
as an independent and making the
race as such.
We thought the primary for the
nomination of state officers a good
thing, but along comes set of fell
lows styling themselves progressives
and repudiating the nominations made
at the Iowa primaries and nominating
a ticket against them by the old star
chamber methods.
We thought the presidential prefer
entail primary a good thing, but along
comes the deligates-at-large from
Massachusetts,, so-called progressives,
repudiating the instructions from their
state and voting for another man in
the Chicago convention.
We thought the organization of
trusts in restraint of trade and for
the elimination of competition wrong,
but along comes national progress
i've chairman and tells us the trusts
should be given legitimate national
recognition by being chartered, then
regulated.
We thought the publicity of cam
paign expenses all right and good
thing, but last week came Munsey,
who had qualified as progressive
by giving $11S,O0O to the Roosevelt
campaign, and tells us it is wrong to
make the rich men tell how much they
give to elect or nominate candidate;
that they won't if they have to tell
about it.
AS one who has tried to be progress
i've, We pause to ask: what in the
dickens is progressiveness?
Is it something to regulate the other
fellow, only to be repudiated when it
doesn't work our way, and to be ex-
cused when violated by the assertion,
4 care not for consistency
No, no, it is a we'll defined set of
principles which can only be estab-
lished by those who advocate them
sticking to them in defeat or victory.
The progressive cause has been set
back ten years by letting it fall into
the hands of people who know nothing
about what it means, and care less il
they can accomplish their purpose.
