THE war, which has brought new tax

disturbed trade conditions and important
trade opportunities did not prevent the
President from taking members OF his
cabinet away from their duties and send
ing them to make political speeches in

then the Republicans elected three out of
the four congressman.

WHEN former President Tsft happened
to refer to himself as the "ttular leader"
of the Republican party, the Democratic
papers made an awful howl. They said
he should be President of the American
people rather than leader of party.
President Wilson now calls himself "the
leader of a great party" and the same
editors applaud. Are there two standards
of political morals, one for Republicans
and Cne for Democrats?

GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE

With their customary quick
ness to jump at any chance to
dlscredit the Administration or
pick flaws in its policy, G. O. P.
organs seized upon the fact that
Thomas ID. Jones of Chicago.
whom President Wilson has ap-
pointed on the Federal Reserve
Board. is a stakeholder and di-
rector of the Harvester trust. And
to that revelation we are indebted
for an extremely interesting and
illuminating light on Mr.. Jones'
character and qualities. He ad-
mits the corn: he owns one share
of Harvester trust stock, which he
acquired to qualify him as di-
rector so that he could assist in
"unscrambling" the combination
and restoring conditions favor
able to competition.
President Wilson and Mr.. Jones
are warm friends and we have the
Presidents word for it that ''he
has always stood for the rights
OF the people against the rights
of privilege" That will be suffi-
cient Endorsement for the gener-
al public. 1t may be added, how
ever, that as trustee of Prince
ton university, Thomas d. Jones
stood by Woodrow Wilson in his
great fight to break down the
spirit of caste or clique there and
to infuse the spirit of democracy
throughout the student body.
That fact shows that he is pro-
per man for an important post
under the Wilson Administration
and his presence on the Federal
Reserve Board will be an assur-
ance that no concentration of fl
nancial power will be permitted to
impair the peoples interests.

The census bureau at Wash

port of estimates of population
for the different states for the
period Of 1910 to 1914. This re-
port shows that in the past four
years this state has gained 1O9.-
$40 people. This is a gain of about
five per cent a year and is prac-
tically as good gain as is shown
by any state in the Union. not a
single state went as high as six
per cent a year. From 1900 to
1910 Washington made the great
est per cent Of gain per year. its
rate being ~ per cent: Oklahoma
was next with eleven per cent, and
Idaho was third with 10 per cent;
Nevada fourth with 9 per cent,
and North Dakota was fifth. For
the four years ending 1914 all

dropped to between five and six

North Dakota Republicans are
still progressive. in spite of the
stalwart machine in this county
and few others. If it were not

he runs as stalwart Republican.
the principal kind of Republicans
we have in Richland county. he
will not get one-third of the
votes cast next November. He is
shrewd enough to know that. and
falls back on his vote for the re-
call Of Judges to vindicate his
claim on certain occasions to be
. progressive Republican. AS Lin
coin once said: "A man can fool
all Of the people part of the
time and some of the people all
the time: but he can't fool all the
people all the time"
Nothing is clearer than that
Hanna's only hope of recollection
lies in his fooling the progressive
Republicans until after the next
election. Meanwhile he will con-
tinue to build up his stalwart ma
chine in the state in an effort to
place the party back under the
,dictation. of the same old bosses
that cursed the party and the
state for the last twenty years.
The fact that his nomination cam
paign was directed by those same
old bosses with their headduart-
ers in Minneapolis and st. Paul is
sufficient evidence to that effect.

words, North Dakota has made
the best showing with regard to
steady and consistent gain of any
state.
Iowa again shows loss in

M'CARN CASE IS
NOW NEARING
HANDS OF JURY
Witnesses Placed On Stand to
Give Testimony Against Re-
pute of CIaudius Mcbride

The defense IN the trial of United
States District Attorney Jeff McCarr
rested its case at 1920 o'clock this
morning. Judge william L. Whitney
has called a special session of his
court for Saturday morning at 8
o'clock and, in case the rebuttal and
surrebuttal is completed tomorrow
the argument of the case will be
heard at this time 1t is expected
that the time limit of arguments will
be two hours, and if the special ses-
sion is continued after 1890 o'clock
the case probably will go to the jury
late Saturday afternoon.
Counsel for the district attorney
this morning called John H. Soper,
w. R. Castle and DR.. E. V. Wilcox
on the witness stand for the purpose
of proving the allegation that the
general reputation of Claudius H. Nc
Bride, at whose instance Mr.. McCarn
was arrested, Is not good in the COM
munity in which he now resides. The
defense's manner of questioning at
times met with strenuous objection
from the prosecution.
General Soper stated that he had
known Mcbride for several years and,
when asked whether he knew his
reputation in this community, ans
