Ex-senator William f. Nash, who
is considerable Of statesman and
philosopher, thus discusses the prim'
airy election measure in his paper
The Two Rivers Chronicle:
The primary election measure that
has been promised SO long was intro
duced in the legislature last Tuesday
and after a weeks study of its many
provisions and complications it seems
TO be the general opinion OF those who
have advocated this kind Of II reform
that the less said favorable thereto
Mt present the better it will be. III
adopted it will necessitate radical
change in past political methods, aud
it will be a reputation Of the repre-
sentative theory of government, IN
which many powers are delegated ,
rather than exercised directly, by the
OeOple. II Is u measure to which the
referendum should be applied before
il is enforced. Instead OF proving a
reform it is likely to prove n most
dangerous and Objectionable innOya-
ton and be the death Of the party that
prccipitates it upon the masses.
The legislature has no right to en-
act law regulating the organization
of u political party any more than it
can decide what shall be the distlnc-
tive principles Of n political party.
The local organization Of political
parties, the manner of and time Tor
the election Of committeeman are mat
ters that cannot be regulated by law,
nor can the method or the men who
shall formulate platforms and pro-
muIgato principles be determined by
the legislature. The authors OF the
proposed primary election law In Mt
tempting TO do this attempt too much.
The legislature cannot exercise any
authority not delegated to it, and the
people have not, rs yet, delegated to
it the right to prescribe either the
time or the manner In which they shall
select their candidates for Office, or
the place and the manner and the
men TO adopt their political platforms.
We believe that Mr.. Nash is emin-
emily right, .and that the proposed
measure Is radically wrong, The en-
nctment of such II primary election
law as the one proposed Ia II very inn

orally discussed and fully considered
by the people Of the state before the
legislature places ii upon the statute
books. Every citizen ought TO oXcr-
else his own Judgment in deciding
whether it Is wise or unwisc, and not
take this or that mans say so in the
matter. The Democrat believes that
the scheme is ill-adviscd that it IL in
the line Of too much government, and
that its enactment would degrade,
rather than elevate the politics Of
Wisconsin.

In very able article In The South
west Wisconsin of last week, John w.
Taylor opposes the enactment of the
primary election measure. Here is
one paragraph which shows the Wig
orous manner in which the subject Is
treated:
"For moro than one hundred years
the story of CinCinnatus called from

country; and from that apparently,
came the saying: The Office sought

hustle himself to invest the proceeds
of his oxen in postage stamps and

of fifty yoke of good cattle. But the

A copy of Mr.. Taylor's article

every member of the legislatures; anC
moreover, our senator's and assem-
blymen ought to give heed to it,

tive system should not hc jauntll,

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EPWORru

Ono Little BOY Killed by IL Failing Shed
and Two Iniurcd-Rcsult OF
the WIndBtorm
The State, 2oth. |

A deplorable accident occurr>.7. at
tho Epworth orphanago during the
windstorm of yesterday afternoon.
An old COW shed was blown to tho
ground, killing ono little fellow out
right and wounded two others.
The boys nine in number were in
the orchard gathering plums. Over
taken by the rain they went undor a
nearby cowshed together with two
negro mon, half dozom COWS and
two horses.
The old shed was unable to with
stand the increasing force of the
wind and soon fell with crash.
AS soon as the negroes could dis.
entangle themselves the wrockago
WAS removed.
Charlie Stack WAS found lyingooon
his left side pinned to the ground by
a heavy sill which had crushed his
skull. There were several bruises
on his body and his leg was broken.
Lee White had a long cash down
his forehead and face to his lip, it
being cut to the bone, and John II.
Parker had his right elbow dislo-
Gated.
The ages Of the injured boys wore
8, 6 and 12 years respectively.
The little fellow who WAS killed,
Charlie Stack, came to the orphan
age about three and n half years ago.
His former home was in Florence
where he and his older brother lived
up to the time Of their fathor's
death.
His mother who, 1t is thought, is
housekeeper at tho Central hotol,
was telegraphed the sad news.
The body will be carried to Lake
city today and inferred by tho side of
the chlld's father.
DR.. Philpot, house surgeon at the
orphanage, attending the two boys
that were hurt. They were resting
easily last night.
The entire orphanage is much dis,
tressod over tho affair. Charlie
Stack has endeared himself to all the
orphan family, and his death is very
deeply felt.
The wonder is that tho other chill
dren escaped with their lives. They
say the whole thing was With - any
warning and they had no time to es
J cape.

Gary said that tho "little too much"
would cost him $40 and such fine
was imposed for contempt of court.

Vancouver, b. G., Juno 2S.-Tho
steamer lslandor from Skayway to-
day brings nows Of an oxcitlng flag
episode at Skagwny. It. S. Busby,
Canadian customs agent there, act
ing Oh instruction from Ottawa,
hoistod tho British flag Oh polo
above his Office. Several incendiary
romarks followed tho hosting Of tho
onsign and on tho following morning
tall good looking man glancod up
ut tho flag and stopping at tho foot
OF tho staff out his pocket knife and
cutting tho halyards pulled down tho
flag, ran tho haiyards through tho
block, rolled up the colors and tossod
them into Il rocess Of tho building.
Tho man was George Miller, II
brother Of Jonquin NTillor, tho Cali.
fornia poot.
Tho Skagway News says: "This
incident has boon brewing for sov.
oral days. When tho flag was put
Oh tho depot building the matter was
called to tho attention of G.. l.. An.
drews, Unitod Statos deputy colloc-
tor of customs. Mr.. Andrews found
nothing in his instructions which he
thought justified tho Canadian Off
cors i'll raising tho British flag unless
tho Stars and Stripes waved abovo
it. lilo accordingly called upon Mr.
I5usby and had Il talk with him in
regard to tho proposed innovation.
Mr.. Busby showed him Il lottor from
tho chiof customs Official Of Canada
which stated IL substance that ns
American customs officials operating
Oh Canadian soil in conditions cor
responding to his (Mr. Busby's
oilico) wcro permitted to fly tho flag
Of their country, ho was ontitlod to
sumo right and to go ahead with tho
flag raising.
"On tho hypothesis that tho Cana.
dian officials would not go on record
in such Il staten ont which was not q
fact, MIR. Andrews concluded that
Mr.. Busby WAS within his rights and
accordingly took no action in tho
mattor.
"Tho question which bids fair to
assume international proportions as

Ottawa and Washington is being dis
cussod today with tho mass Of senti.
mont in favor OF tho man who hauIod

Canadian customs house advances
