RIVAL EDITORS

Some years ago there were Al
Paris two papers, the Razor" and
the Scorpion" which were al
ways attacking each other.
Every week people bought the
Razor" to read how IL cut at the
scorpion" and then purchased
the scorpion" to learn how II
stung the Razor"
A certain philanthropist, feel
ing panied TO see such luminosity
displayed. invited the two editors
to dine. in the hope that over
good fare he could make peace
between them. At the appointed
time one lean, melancholy man
presented himself and was usher
ed in. After an interval, as no
other guest appeared, the host de-
handed:
MAY I ask, are you the editor
OF the 'Razor'70r the Scorpion ?"
"Botht" said the sad-eyed maa.

Major Bates delivered great Grafton Thursday

ing like beaver to get from under the recall ava
anche that's bound to fall on him sooner or later.
Major Bates went after the technical flaws of the
recall statute and the petitions like whirlwind
bites the dust. Great lawyer is Major Bates.
Then he reached the climax. 1.-THE laws of 1913
under which this recall is attempted is purely ere
alton of statute. 1t unheard of in common law
days. but whatever is done must be under its ruling,
said the major.
Because the recall was unknown in common law
days Major Bates wants us to forget it.
Because such laws the mothers pension, indus
trial insurance, minimum wages, eight laws
and other progressive measures were unheard of IN
common law days they ought to be thrown out, is

what Is the Use?

There was a little Progressive
party confab here yesterday with q
select few gathered with the third
party's congressional nominee In this
district Intheir loneliness the Tele-
gram wondered what basis they had
for any hope at all. They certainly
must be clinging to straw with cer-
tain knowledge of sinking to the bot
tom on election day II they be fgnor-
amt Of the fact that the third parry Is
waning everywhere as undfsputed fig
lures show and that the widespread
spirit of returning to the Republican
party is having deadening effect on
their party. they either do not read
or are unwilling to accept the story
figures tell.
Latest evidences of the ebbing OF
the third party are cited by the
wheeling Intelligencer as follows:
The instructive results OF the Cali
fornia primaries. where the Blill
Moose were wont to herd in domt-
Enant numbers, is followed by another
|exem plifcation of the return. of the
Roosevelt followers to the Republican
party in Nebraska. a state they also
Assembled in in embarrassing profu-
sion in 1912. In California; where
the high priest of Rooseveltism gov
erns, and who was the vice presi-
Dental candidate two years ago on,
the Progressive ticket. the party
shows up, or rather is shown up. as
a negligible quantity. Now it is Me-
|braska that indicates the practical
reunion of the former Republican
divisions.
In the presidential election two
years ago Wilson carried the state
with a vote of 109,OoS. against ST.
|21e for Taft and 1858 for Rocse-
welt. Now II is certain from*the in
complete returns already received
that the Republican vote at the pei
mary election has exceeded that OF
the Democrats by comfortable mar
gin. It is also clear that the Repub-
|lican vote at the primary election was
greater than that of the Republican
ticket in the presidential election two
years ago. The Progressive vote has
practically disappeared.
This is more than encouraging
when it is remembered that while
Taft carried almost every Northern
state in 1908, Nebraska went into the
Democratic column. It means that
Bryan's state will be in the Repub-
ilican column this year. which will be
not only reputation Of the Great
Commoner,' but the Democratic ad-
ministration.
