In a Herald interview Willis J Abbot argues irrigation is less crucial than soil moisture conservation. The piece asserts western Nebraska can yield prolific crops with rainfall properly captured through tillage, noting upland fertility would rise with farming while some irrigated regions face diminishing fertility due to alkali issues.

In editorials the Taft Aldrich agenda is blamed on preserving eastern interests, with debate over taxing one group to support another. Opinions condemn the 8 o clock saloon closing, praise it in small towns, and critique Bryan on Democracy and the Tariff. The piece notes Ballinger Pinchot disputes and interior department firings as political wins for the administration.
The piece argues Taft aims to be known as a great conciliator but may be tagged the great apologist after his 14,000 mile swing around the circle. It cites his Boston speech apologizing for party sins and praising Aldrich, signaling a shift away from progressives toward reactionary policy allies.
