TIE PRIMARY IN MIKNEv0ra..


" T. N. Knappen, associate editor
of the Minneapolis Tribune, has
analysed for the New York Inde-
pendent the recent trial of the Min.
nesota direct primary system of
nominating candidates. He finds
that the law pleased the voters, and
that it's defects are not serious.
The chief objection developed from
the use of the law ie found in the
requirement that the challenged
voter shall reveal his party affilia-
tion. This is resented by the indie.
pendent voters, and is unfair be:
cause it shuts out of.stde primary
the voter who has changed his
party ties since the last election,
and who honestly intends to vote
for the party of his new choice at
the first election following the pri-
mary.
The possibility that Democrats
might foist on the Republican
ticket a weak candidate Tor vice
versa) by voting for him in the di-
rect primary suggested that each
voter be permitted to vote to nomi-
nate only the candidates of the
party with which he voted at the
last election, and with which he in
tends to vote at the next election.
But it is believed that holding the
primaries of both parties at the
same time and place will prevent
extensive interference with one
ticket by voters who belong to the
party represented by the other
ticket. Few men, for the sake of &C.
curing the nomination of weak
candidate, will care to invade the
ranks of the party to which they are
opposed, if they must aek for :their
opponents ticket to do .so: Very
little challenging was done at the
primaries, however, and it is be-
heved that the clause of the law de-
signed to keep voters within party
lines will be repealed.
In the primary it happened that
some minority nominations result
ed; in fact, four of the seven con-
gressional nominees came in this
class. But as the average of quail
ity of all the nominees was high
this blemish was not regarded as
serious. 1t was especially noticed
that lack of experience in "practical
politics" was no bar to success
at the primaries. The man of good
reputation in the community from
which he sought the nomination
was easily the winner over the u.s.
ual type of smart politician who
frequently controls conventions.
The law is for the whole state,
but does not include the state tick
ct. The direct primaries drew
thousands more voters to partici-
pate in the nominating of candi-
dates than were ever attracted to
in the selection of can
didates by the caucus and conven-
ton system. The new system has
come to stay, to be perfected as it's
weaknesses are revealed, to be ex-
tended to cover all Offices, and to
provide better candidates for better
administration of public affairs
than we now have.

x:;OUR brethren of the Mesaba Ore,
Messrs. Atkinson & Higgins, of
Hibbing, were among the fraternity
who found enough left yesterday
for which to return thanks. The
boys have very recently made some
important additions to their plant,
and when their building was caught
in blaze "Wednesday morning it
looked as though a small insur-
ance would be but trifle compared
to their prospective loss. But be-
tween Providence and the fire de-
partment their plant was saved
with but nominal loss, and the boys
remembered both saviors yester-
day.
lNDIsCRIMINATE oulogy of the
dead will not be given by Ham,
ilton, O., ministers in the future.
Strong resolutions on the sub
ject were adopted by the Min
isterial Alliance, including the
pastors of all Protestant churches.
In these resolutions the rnln-
listers declare that it is against
their conscience to nisrepresent the
character and lives of persons just
because they have died. They add
that since relatives demand eulogy
in funeral sermons they will preach
no sermons at funerals in the fu-
ture except in cases where eulogy
is tnerited. The different clergymen
will confine themselves TO the ritu-
als of their churches and will not
commit themselves to discussions
of the characters of the dead.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND at a recent
banquet expressed the belief that
Canada will eventually be in the
domain of the United States. On
this subject he said: within few
years the commerce of the states on
the Pacific coast will equal that of
those on the Atlantic. The devel-
opment of the lands to the east, the
west, the north and the south is go
ing on more rapidly and safely than
ever before, and we are reaping and
will continue to reap benefits. LIDO
not want to be bellicose, burt Lsay
this for myself: AS sure as fate, al
though you and may not see it,
the starry banner will wave the
mistress over all the territory from
the gulf to Hudson bay. There will
be no conquest, no war: The hearts
across the border are already beat
ing with love for us, and commerce
and agriculture are calling for es-
pousals." ~,&s. >=s

REFUBLlC MIN ES,

Mesaba range mines of the Re-
public Iron & Steel company, of
which Edwin Parmelee, formerly of
this city, is superintendent, will
produce this year about 225,00 tons
of ore, very small production for
the mines and for the company.
The same company has about $780,
600 tons production on. the Mar.
quette range. 1t will largely in
crease on the Mesaba another year,
when it will have an open pit mine
working from which it can produce
ore very cheaply.-Iron Mountain

"Our San Luis valley air is

Carl y. Thompson.

Following is brief History OF
the Rev. Carl u. Tompson who
lectures in Monte Vista his even
ing: He came into the SoclaIis,
work about year ago. le has
been a Congregational minister,
pastor of an independent Peoples
church in Elgin, Illinois. He is n
western man, reared and elacated
IN Nebraska among the problems
OF the western prairies. Latter,
while preaching for the Congre.
Sational denomination, he spent
severa. years IN Chicago at the
Theological Seminary aud the
Chicago University. where le took
the masters degree last March,
studied at first hand the complex
social problems of the great city.
he spent some time with the asso.
ciated charities of the city, was a
frequent attendant at labor con-
ferences and in various ways be-
came familiar with the various as
poets of the social problem.
At EIg'n Mr.. Thompson found
himself in the very midst of the
labor problem, for it is a great fac
tory center. His interes, in social
problems, municipal affairs and
the labor movement, and especial.
ly h,s frank and fearless sermons
upon all these themes, made him
we'll and favorably known. He
WAS n charter member of the local
Socialist organization and its sec
rotary for nearly a year. His
church was the rallying point for
the social movement of the city.
Incidentally all the prominent
men of the Socialist movement
were brought 10 Elpin. among
others Mr.. Wilson aud other com
rsdes, aud in return Mr.. Thomp.
son made frequent lecture tours
through the neighborlng villages
and cities.
Last fall he finally answered re.
peated calls and resigned his past.
crate TO join the Socialist workers.
Since then he has been through
nearly all of the western states,
especially in Oregon and Colorado.

erful speaker, but is also very
