County and State Primaries.

rrOn inc 5duefuon O1sE Ifipuhe'
The argument that County and
State primaries are all similar is q
great mistake. A County primary
may be all right and a State primary
all wrong. Admitting all that the ad-
vocates Of q County primary claim as
to its merits and advantages, and
harmonizing Influences, IL is not at all
certain that the same would be true
OF State primary.
In County primary every voter
knows or may know every candidate.
The poor man can canvass the
county without large expense. The
fitness Of candidates is easily deter
mined. Records can be examined.
In State primary it is practically
impossible for all or even a majority
OF the 100000 Democrats In Missouri
to know personally the candidates or
to be sufficiently acquainted with
their qualifications. An element Of
uncertainty and corruption would be
introduced which would tend to de-
moraliEe the party.
In the County primary the local
''axer' pays his bIackmaillng and
candidate bleeding arts on a small
scale. In q State primary he would
fairly revel In his opportunities. The
State primary is entirely distinct from
the Uounty primary. Opposition to
one does not necessarily mean oppo-
sition to the other.

Baking Powder Combine Fights the
Law.

AHWs
The combination known as 1.-THE
Associated Baking Powder Manufac-
turers" is opposing the enforce
ment of a law of Missouri which is de-
signed to protect people from certain
unwholesome substances In food.
Among the articles OF food whose
manufacture and sale are prohibited
by law are all those containing alum,
q substance employed in making the
cheaper grades Of baking powder.
Such an organized opposition to the
Pure Food law Of the state will not
meet the approval Of housekeepers.
The health OF our families is the most
important of all considerations. Alum
baking powders have been condemned
by law elsewhere and by our own and
other high authorities for years, and
the best interests of the people are in
the enforcement OF the law, and not
with the Baking Powder Combine,
which has heretofore been allowed to
sell its alum compounds freely in this
community.
The people should not be misled In
this matter. The sale of alum baking
powder is forbidden under penalty of
a heavy fine by the law of the state.
Grooers should take warning and In
form themselves of the character of
the goods they sell, as houaekeepers
are bound to be protected.

MISS GOULD's FIGHT.
She is Working Hard to Defeat Polyg-
amist Roberts.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Miss Helen
Gould Is keeping up her crusade
against Morm0nism, and particularly
against the seating of Brigham h.
Roberts,of Utah, in Congress. She has
already spent $1,000 in distributing
anti Mormon literature through the
League for Social Service. At her
suggestion the league has issued L.
000,000 pamphlets against polygamy in
general and Roberts In particular.
Millions more will follow and Miss
Gould will pay the bills.
The league, with Miss Gould's aid,
is preparing a petition to which she
intends to secure the signatures of
millions of voters, urging members of
Congress TO exhaust all honorable
means "to secure the prompt expul-
sion OF Mr.. B. n. Roberts, of Utah,
the avowed polygamist and Covenant
breaker, from the House of Repre-
sentatives,n and to make polygamy q
crime, punishable by severe penalties,
including disfranchisemen and dis
qualification for public Office.
In . pamphlet issued BY the league,
this paragraph, apparently referring to
Miss Gould, occurs:
GA friend Of the league has author
ICED IL to send petitions against the
seating of Roberts to a selected list Of
$1,000 clsrgymen, to the leading
woman's organizations and to the Y.

the entire series OF anti Mormon leaf
let's"
The literature selected by Mise
Gould for the distribution includes
articles by men who spent many years
in Utah as missionaries and studied
the conditions resulting from Nor
monism. Provision has been made for
an edition of 100000 pamphlets to be
sent to the young peoples societies,
such as the Epworth League and Chris
