AN EARLY PRIMARY.

The election for county Offices is
some months ahead, yet in many
counties Democratic primarieshaye
been called and the campaign has
already begun.
While there has been no call for
a meeting Of the Democratic COM
mittee in this county to consider
the question Of calling a primary,
candidates are bobbing up in pro-
fusion, and politics has begun to
interest the people of old Benton
much earlier than usual. In fact,
there is a long string Of candidates
in the field already, and several dis
tricts to hear from.
There are several entries in the
race for sheriff, three for county
clerk, one for judge, two for Cir
cult clerk, and three for register
All the candidates, with one OF
two exceptions, who have expressed
an opinion, are inclined to favor an
early primary. Nearly all of then
think that January, for several rea.
sons, would be the best time, while
some of them would not object tC

in all disputed land claims. The proba-
bilities are that the land commissioner
makes most of the decisions, but the re-
spcnsibility falls entirely upon the sec
rotary. Each succeeding secretary of the
interior has had his own ideas In regard
to the disposal of public domain and the
proper Interpretation of existing laws.
The result of this has been to afford no
chain Of precedent upon which to base
decisions. One secretary has been re-
versed by another until the records of
the department have become largely
valueless as a guide to new officials in
deciding the hundreds and thousands of
most important questions which come I'D
during each fiscal year.
One curious Illustration of this is found
in the state of Colorado, where in several
instances land has been taken. up first
under one act and patent secured from
the government and then under another
act and another patent secured for the
same piece of land. This, of course, could
only be done on unsurveyed land. The
question first arose in regard to a large
deposit of marble. One ruling made in
Washington was to the effect that marble
should be taken up under the placer act.
Another ruling was that 1t came under
the operations of the stone act. BY chang
ing the description of the land and using
different landmarks in surveying 1t the
claimants made 1t impossible for the land
office, except by most thorough investiga-
ton, to discover it was issuing two pat
ents for one and the same piece of land
1t has been extremely important In sew
eral instances that-the title to this land
so obtained should be perfect as valu-
