for such cut rate proceedings is that
customers are always plenty when prices
drop below the normal. This coupled
with the persistent and permanent

The Powers may be pretty well as
sured that there will never again be
the opportunity of striking so decisive
a blow as they have been able to do
now. The taking of the Forbidden City
is an object lesson. But there must be
greater object lesson. If the Chinese
empire is to remain a government, the
representatives of the Powers must be
received within the palace of the EN-
peror and not in an out building on the
wall of that palace. The fiction of
tributary powers must be exploded, and
the sanctity of American and European
life must be guaranteed. The Chinese
are willy and by means of their diplo-
matte skill cause the Powers to lose
very frequently what they have gained
by force of arms. By playing off one
Power against another, however. adj
vantages may be taken which will be
futal to the peace of Asia in a very few

THE FIRST PRIMARIES.

The Republican primaries SATURDAY.
night were well attended and in some
precincts there were quite lively times
AS time goes on there will be more and
more interest taken in these eallv con-
tests in the political field and men will
become identified as leading politicians
| What we want is a class of indepen1ent
politicians who, like Roosevelt. are in
| dependent of the machine. We have
some such here, and we also have the
machine element.
The difference of opinion among the
| Republican party is somewhat sharply
marked in these primaries but in some
cases the results were unexpected. if the
/ machine side won in one place, it GER
tainly lost in another and so on through
the list. There will be ample amuse-
ment afforded to those for whom poll
tics and wire pulling are DIS the breath
OF life when the district convention
meets, But in the Territorial Conven-
ton, after some preliminary skirmish-
ing there should be unanimity. When
| the full ticket is settled the party ought
to vote it as man.
Though there was much interest in
the primaries the number of votes cast
does not by any means indicate the
strength of the Republican party in the
Fourth and Fifth districts. There is
ever very large number of voters who
object to joining political clubs, and
who yet feel strongly for their party.
These show up at the ballot box on
election day. 1t is the business of the
officers of the clubs to keep watchful
eye upon such voters, see that they re-
glster and see that they get to the polls.
Then there are a large number of
waverers. They vote one way one time
one way another, These require special
care, for they can be convinced by
either party. Some local need, some
local man will attract their votes and
here it is that the skill of the politician
comes specially in. He should know
every one of the votes in his precinct,
know their wants, know the way they
think. In time we shall have men VINO
will thoroughly understand this. But
the time has not yet come.
