The First to Fall.
From the wichita Reaco,

From the Wichita Beacon.
Coz I. Crawford, United States senator
from South Dakota, thought there were
not enough progressives to nominate him
for United States senator. SO he ran as
q progressive republican" A standpat
republican beat him easily.
4 Soft-hearted progressives who thhak the
s~tandpatters mean what they say when
they Invite them back, will learn in time
should come back and hold office. They
are not invited back for that purpose.
Mr.. Crawford, O. good man, Is the first to
fall OF that group Of progressive repub-
lIcan senators who decided to lend their
support to the party controlled by the
forces Of reaction and dedicated to re-
action,
He thought he could lead the progress
sives back into a party which has made
no change in its national management
since the Chicago convention. He goes
down a sacrifice to his own credulity-a
credulity which was doubtless accentuat-
ed by his practical desire to count the
votes. '"-@#
There are other progressive republicans
who will pay the same penalties that
Crawford has paid for not staying with
their own crowd. 1t Is a part Of the In
forward movement of humanity. Those
good men who hRv not the courage to
stand upon h one side or the other are
ground futilely beneath the millstones.

It was found difficult to nance this en-.

The khedive OF Egypt cared nothing abou,
the commercial aspects of the canal. He
merely wanted the financial consideration
for the concession. and the French com.
pany secured the concession from tn,
khedive Of Egypt by making him certain
compensations and making provisions
similar to those we have made with the
republic OF Panama. and the same con.
ditions adopted In the Clayton-Bul
treaty as to universal use in equal
treatment were applied to the Suez canal
At the beginning OF this century the
United States government determined that

The United States relieved the balance Of
