Put Them to Test.

Those who believe in the principle
OF primary elections, who regard 1t
AS desirable as means Of correcting
or lessening the evils Of the caucus
and convention system, and who con-
slider TIE platform demand FOR such
n law as obligatory upon the republi-
Gnu party, are not tenacious for the
Stephens bill rs published; in fact
there is much difference Of opinion
a. to details OF the bill among its
friends. These differences being as
to non-essential features, they can be
ana should be harmonized. While
the Tribune il Jealous for primary
election system for county, legisla-
tive, congressional and state nom
nations, it would prefer to have
municipal elections IN cities Of the
4th class, (Which occur annually eX-
empt from its operation. This would
lessen the expense materially, and
make that objection untenable. To
OF the 4th class in the state, with an
average Of about 4 wards in each, so
there would be about 400 precincts in
which primary elections would be
held under the stephens bill, every
spring, with set of election officers
for each, the expense of which, with
ballot printing and incidentals would
be perhaps S25 for each procint, or an
aggregate Of 10000 IN the state. The
caucus system, as operative IN tue
town, village and small city nGmina
tons, is practically "a primary cleo
ton system, and therefore we hear
very little complaint of evils result
ing from it so far as the local gov
erumeut OF such communities is
concerned The work of the political
minipuator has little effect in these
small city affairs. II is in the dele.
gate convention, where he can ar
range deals and trades, that he is to
oe feared.
Other friends of n primary election
system don't like the separate party
ballots proposed by the stephens
bill ;some think the method proposed
for making platforms is not very
good; still others think the provision
requiring electors, when challenged,
to declare their intention of voting Il
certain ticket is net wise. None of
these are of vital consequence. aud
may I've altered or omitted without
detrimeut to the bill, without viola
ton of the principle involved, and in
perfect accord with the platform,
Let the friends of primary cleo
tious get together, each yielding on
non essentials, and unite for the pas
sage of n bill that will compel the
enemy to stand out in the open
against the principle involved and in
clear defiance of the party pledges.

4 Wise Cooperation

The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany celebrated the 50th anniversary
of its incorporation on Feb. 10th, 1901
Incident thereto it provided for med
ais to be issued to each of the thous-
ands of employees of the company
who had served, in any capacity, fol
one year or more To that date. This
action il in line with the company's
practice of inducing employees and
all patrons of the road 10 become
stockholders, however small the
amount they may have to invest, and
furnishing to all such stockholders
free transportation from wherever
they may be to Chicago and return
to attend the annual meetings OF
stockholders, This policy can but
strengthen the road in popular favor
and recognizing permanenf sue
cess for great institutions depends
largely upon the confidence OF the
mass of the people in its manage
ment, the wisdom OF the Centrafs
course is apparent. With its EN-
ployes and patrons shown that they
are considered as factors III the nam
moth concern, their faithful service
and loyal support is assured.

A Good Cough Medicine for Children,

and popular baker of Petersburg, Va.
We have given it to our children

whooping cough, and it has given
perfect satisfaction. 1t was recon-

it contained no opium or other

The Election of Senators.

| Oshkosh Northwestern;
Nothing is SO arolIsing the demand
among the people for the election OF
| United States senators by direct vote
of the people as the deadlocks of leg
islatures and the charges Of corrup-
| ton in the election of senators. For
several years the United States SEN
ate has not been complete in mem
bershiD. One or more states have
been short of their constitutional
representation in the senate by rea-
son of the failure of Legislators to
elect. The spectacle is now present
| ed Of one state, Delaware, having no
representation in the senate. The
state has had only one senator since
| 1895 by reason Of the failure of legis-
lators To elect. o. course it VIII be
said that the anita ddicks republi-
cans were traitors to the party, and
were responsible for the deadlock and
the failure to elect. Rut the real re-
sponsibility will be upon the man
who, with his money and obstinacy
persisted in the rule or ruin policy
and refused To stand aside when some
other republican could have been
elected. In Montana the deadlock
was broken at the last moment by the
the election OF democrat, when a
republican might have been elected
but for this same policy Of rule or
ruin. The Nebraska deadlock APP
pears to be no nearer an end than
wi en- the legislature met, largely
through the determination of Rose
water that he will be one of the two
senators 10 be be elected, or nobody
Will be elected. Should this dead-
lock not be broken, the republican
party will sacrifice two more sena-
tors 80 which it is entitled.
Added to these deadlocks are the
allegations Of corruption to still fur
Their strengthen the argument for the
election of senators by the people.
The cases Of Clark in Montana and
Quay in Pennsylvania are late and
familiar examples. OF course 1t Will
be argued, az is done in the present
opposition 10 the primary election
law in this state, that this is n repre-
tative form Of government and the
people must not do anything they
can delegate to the politicians to do,
but this argument is fast losing
ground ms applied to a principle of
sovereignty. In the matter of selec-
ton of public officers, and particu-
larly senators, there would be no
inconvenience in voting directly for
them so long as elections have to be
held.

which permits amnesty, rivalry and

The governor Of the state, on the

cruelty misrepresented to the citi-
zens of the largest city of the state.

The State Journal knows the rec

and shortcomings. The tireless
hostility and the sleuth- hound ami
mostly of every form of corporate
power, its determinated purpose to
discredit and retire him, makes
absurd and gives the lie to any
charge that he was or is "Ther

would not now be inifing him with
every newspaper they can buy or
prejudice. If he is not their man
how long will he be unpopular,
should this legislature as result of
corporation rule newspapers and in
tiuence thwart him at every turn and
leave him the PROSTATE champion

never union between " the corpo.
ration" and Mr.. LaFollette. The
primary election bill may or may
not have virtue it is the man be-
hind IL whose downfall all this cry

False Friend Intent

Fugitive Runs Into Arms of
Detective and Begs for
Protection. @


CHICAGO, Dec s27.--Angelo Scal1a,
closely pursued by Antonio Segnio, rushed
into the arms of two detectives in this
city and begged for protection. 1t was
the sensational termina ton Of a 4000-mile
man-hunt, in which Scalia has been fol-
lowed for three months and had visited
the principal. cities of the Eastern States.
Both men were taken to- the Harrison
street station, where Segnto, told re-
markable story. Three months ago he
said Scalfia was arrested in the Indian
Territory on the charge Of Illegally sell
ing whisky. After spending a month in
Jail he appealed to Segnio, a friend and
business man of South McAlester, and
upon assurance. by Sca!ffa that the firm
he represented would protect. him Segnio
mortgaged all his property and furnished
$4,000 bonds to secure the release of his
friend Upon being released @Sealf1a i'm
mediately disappeared. a. CSC
The chase began and Scalfia was fol-
lowed from place ITO place until, finally
firing of the terrible strain, he applied to
the Chicago detectives.
When taken in charge Segrior held a re-
volver in his hand and, notwithstanding
the fact that if Scalfia is returned to In
dian Territory within five days his bond
will be saved, Segnio declared his real OBJ
ject in pursuing Scalfia was revenge.
81 started to kill him, followed him for
thousands of miles and then at the last
moment he escapes" he said. "It is
hard; would not have it So
Scalfa admits his identity and apepars
anxious to be surrendered to the United
States authorities to escape a worse fate.

During the last two or three days many
offices in the business section have been
visited by a woman, accompanied by
a story Of continued misfortunes and asks
for financial assistance. She gives her
address as 3O5 Second street, but as there
is no such number it is presumed by
those who have made contributions that
they have been victimized.
