Profanity Useless

Profanity is SAID to be on the de-
crease, which, II true, is cheering
news. Siugularly enough the blame
for so much profanity in times past
is placed upon the horse. That such
a noble animal should be guilty of
being so responsible for such an
evil comes as a shock, yet when one
remembers how hostlers, jockeys
and Others interested in horsehesh
have made the air lurid with their
language there seems TO be some
truth in it. And it must be confess
ed that there is great proyocation
when a horse balks, or takes the bit
between his teeth, or discovers the
white Of ITS eyes preparatory to
kicking.
But now the auto Is working most
greatful change as it displaces the
horse. OF course an auto can do
lots of mean things, but what is the
use Of swearing at cold iron when il
breaks down? Unlike the horse the
auto is inanimate and all oaths and
whippings are wasted upon it. But
whatever the cause Of lessened pro
family there is cause for gratitude,

Democrats in the east are banking
much on the vote Wilson is going to
get in the west, and are already fgur-
ing Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mon
tana and other western states in the
democratic column. There is going to
be a woeful awakening for these sta
tisticians. Not one Of these states is
going to cast its electoral vote for
Wilson. Voters may be disguised at
the tactics which dominated Taft.
They may not like Roosevelt's action
in splitting the republican party and
forcing his own nomination on the
progressive ticket, but just the same,
they are going to think long time
before they can change their party
faith at the behest Of Tammany Hall,

failure and ruin. The west is not for

"That peculiar and strange friend
ship" existing between Secretary Of
State Norton and the Devils Lake
Journal seems to have stirred up the
latter very effectually. Other news
papers in the state that are interested
in the matter will probably show up
tn fact that when Bloom asserts that
his Journal receives the work because
he and it were the lowest competitive
bidder that he is simply d-m liar
and will prove it. The Democrat does
not depend upon political patronage
and jobbery to make mon ey so that
we don't care to spend money or time
to show how and what causes this
most peculiar and strange friendship
between the republican secretary Of
state and democratic newspaper
but it is peculiar one to say the
least-especially in the face Of the
fact the democratic newspaper is sup
porting republican Pat Norton for con-
gress in lieu Of the candidacy Of one

1t looks to us pretty much as if the
idea of a third party state ticket was
calculated to serve but the purpose
of defeating L. B. Hanna. The utter
futility of the efforts. Of Lauder and
all his cohorts to launch third tick
ct with single hope Of success in
single case is apparent to all not
prompted by some Interior motive. The
people are, as a whole just as much
interested in local issues and in a
great many cases the local issues are
OF paramount Importance. It is so in
this state. A. demand for clean cut
division along the whole line will only
serve to detract attention from the
national issue and center the fight on
local candidates with inevitable dis
aster to the third party ticket. The
people will prefer what they need in
the matter o. state candidates even
at the sacrifice Of what they would
most prefer in national way.

We wonder If the action Of Aaker
in resigning the Office given him by
the people Of the state at the recent
primaries, and then agreeing to take
the nomination for governor on new
party ticket, given him by few men
will do him any goods It looks to us
as though he had one of two reasons
for his action. He either wants lot
Of advertising for his school, and can
get more as candidate for governor
than he could at the other job, or
he wants long job. In the latter
case the people should make it a,
point to turn him down cold. We

cial privileges to the credit Of politi-
cal gain, but then, the exposure Of
the questionable. methods that Norton
has employed, will never convince the
searchlight. that he is anything short
Of being a saint, just because Norton
is a progressive.
Of course, the manner in which the
contract for the printing Of that pro-
gressive farce, the Publicity pamphlet,
is approved by the searchlight, we
presume, as well as the contract let at
the last meeting of the board. These
matters may seem small and insight
fcant (only about 100000 involved)

WILL HEARST SUPPORT RoosE

Mr.. Hearst's organs congratulated
the Colonel upon his luck in getting
in controversy with Mr.. Archbold and

is indeed phenomenal.

do furnish a public megaphone carry.
ing sound to multitude Of ears, and
that megaphone Mr.. Hearst is lead.
ing more and more to the Roosevelt
interests. But his purpose is selfish
rather than patriotic. He is opposed
to Mr.. Bryan.
It is a day Of party disruption. The
disruption will not be confined to the
Republican party. There are signs of
disaffection within the Democratic
party and those signs multiply. OF
them the most portentious is Hearst
and in case Hearst pumps for Roose-
welt, he will swing many votes, while
even if he persists in perfunctory
support of Wilson and in real propa'
ganda for Roosevelt, he will detach
votes from Wilson. ..

The result of the Vermont election
furnishes much encouragement to the
progressive party. There is no use in
denying that. Where a party, in its
first campaign, can go into a state as
conservative and even old fashioned
as Vermont and pol. within 5000
votes Of as many IS the party which
has always carried the state by from
10000 to 10000 votes, it IS time for
the gray boards to sit up and take
notice. The showing Of the Demo-
Gratis in the state was most disappolnt,
