A New Primary Law.

The Legislature will soon be in ses-
sion, and one of the first things to deal
with is the framing of a primary law
to take the place of the one which fail
ed because of its unconstitutionality
The recent popular approval of the
constitutional amendment dealing with
the subject has made the way clear to
pass statute which will stand the test
of the courts and perform its functions
satisfactorily. The Constitution is now
broad enough to cover all the obiec-
tions raised by the Supreme Court
against the primary laws of 1897 and
1899 which were annulled and to meet
the conditions existing in any city, city
and county or other political subdi-
vision. Plenty of latitude is given to
the Legislature to act.
In framing new primary law it
would be manifestly improper and prob
ably risky to attempt anything in the
nature of any experiment. Tho best
thing to do is to follow the general
principles on which the statutes of
1897 and 1899 were founded, as ex-Sen-
ator Stratton, whose name is associated
with the primary law of the last-named
year, has suggested in recent inter-
view on the subject. In doing so, the
Legislature will be traversing safe and
familiar ground. and the risks of an ex-
pertinent will be avoided. The statute
of 1899 had the merit of conciseness.
Engrafting on it the test contained in
the act of 1897, which is now possible
under the constitutional amendment,
without danger of invalidation, and
providing methods of putting it into
force, with enough elasticity in the
provision to suit the conditions exist
ing in the rural districts, and inserting
means for independent voting, if de-
sired, would probably make model
primary law. 1t will be simple and
efficient, and that is what is needed

WILLARD AND DAILY.
Lives Of the Late Railroad Magnate and the
Copper King.

Lives OF the Late Railroad Magnate and the
Copper King.
Henry Willard and Marcus DAILY, the
former once great railroad magnate
and the latter copper king" illus
trate in vivid way the possibilities
for personal Advancement which Ameri-
ca offers. Both began poor and died
rich. Both experienced frequent
vicissitudes of fortune. but Willard in a
greater degree than DAILY. Each saw
the West rise to position of domin-
ance in the social and industrial life of
the country, and each, in his own field,
contributed materially to this su-
premacy.
Fiction offers no more striking con-
trasts than the career of Willard affords.
Beginning active life as a newspaper
reporter at Belleville, ILL.,, forty-five
years ago. he gained responsible posi-
tions successfully with several Western
and New York journals, and in the
early SOS acquired the control of the
New York Evening Post and Nation.
Previous to that time he became con-
nected with several railroads, and re-
tained some of his interests in this field
until his death. 1t was under his con-
troll that the Northern Pacific road,
which had already wrecked Jay Cooke
tn 1873, was completed in 1883, and it
was under his guidance that, year
later, it was assailed second time,
and he lost the greater part of his for
tune. This he regained subseq uently,
but lost much of it again during the
panic of 1893. He retired shortly after
wards from active railroad manage
ment, but retained some of his railroad
interests, and was recovering much of
his former wealth when death came.
Daly's biography for the past dozen
years would be history of the politics
of Montana, the region in which he
made most of his fortune, and in which
the greater part of his business inter-
ests centered. The feud between him
and William A. Clark, rival "copper"
king" who made several attempts to
get to the Senate, was as indicative
and persistent as any vendettas known
in the Kentucky mountains or in Cor
sica. Their enmities from a time an
terror to the entrance of Montana to
statehood down to last week S election
affected the choice of Governors, of
Legislatures, and of Representatives in
Congress, made and filed vacancies in
the Senate and shaped and directed the
tides and cross currents of that locali-
tvs politics. While the voters of the
rest of the forty-ive States were Re-
publicans, Democrats or Populists, in
Montana they usually figured as ''Daly
men" or "Clark men," 1t was a brilli-
ant triumph for Daily when Clark was
unseated last winter from the Senate
under charges of bribery in securing
his election, and DAILY was the chief
factor in pressing the charges and
shaping the evidence. 1t was his last
triumph, for at the election week ago
his rival gained victory which will
stay gained. Death for Daily must
have had double sting from the fact
that it was coincideut with the attain
ment by his old foe of an Office for
which, vainly until now, he had striven
for dozen years.
