AN UPWARD aTnP.

Both the Downing and National
parties have at last decided to
make their nominations by prima-
ries in the future. 1t is little
remarkable that this step was not
taken sooner. Probably the shak-
ing up tLsy got during the cam
paign just closed, had something
to do with abandonment of the
captain system" The primary
is without doubt the fairest and
most intelligent. way Of making
nominations, and will go long
way towards drawing party lines,
as the captain method has kept
MANY men from becoming stro ng
party men. Political parties are
all right when conducted on the
issues that are really before the
people. When a man votes with
q polltlcal party ne should know
what its success would mean to the
country. There is one thing GER
tain, the Gins and outs" will not
be the issues in the future. All
parties will be required to advo-
cate fixed policy and when a man
identifies himself with any politi-
cal party he will know just what
his party propose to do. We take
it that the adoption of the primary
system is an ADVANCE step and
better defined and better organized
political parties will be the result.

WHEN a man runs for Office he
must make his calculations to
either spend more money than the
other fellow or get beaten. Money
wins, and good results cannot
accrue from such state of affairs.
The use of money is not confined
to any political party, TO be sure,
but the party that has and is will
ing to spend the most money is the
one that will win every time. If
the lave was enforced in this mat
ter some officials in high places
would stand convicted already.

The introduction and sale of
beer in this county under the late
ruling of Judge Bryant has the
forebodings OF evil to our people
and should meet with the COM
bined opposition of all classes. 1t
should meet with the moral oppo-
sition, if nothing more, of every
one. In this country prohibition
has prohibited without any doubt.
We, as a community, cannot afford
TO add the beer saloon to the list
of evils we are suffering and as a
town we can at least protect our
selves. Is it possible that the
saloon must at last claim this fair
land as one Of its conquests? Must
we add to the already too long list
OF criminal trials that of the
drunken brawl? Let us arise and
"nip in the bud" this fell destroyer
before it gets permanent foot
hold in our country.

Messrs. Godeir, Gatlin, McClel-
Ian and Oven were selected to
place the grievances complained
Of before the railroad officials.
After this, like a cows tail
dragging along behind, came a
petition from the vinita World
stating that it had been a friend to
the cowmen Gt bad supported Mr.
Mayes for chief and asking that it
be made the official organ. Cour-
tesy of course prevented any ad-
verse action and a brief resolution
to that effect was said to be
adopted, though just who voted in
the affirmative is a mystery as no
one can be found who will admit
OF having done so.
1t is said that 800, 900 cattle were
