to the end that, whichever party may be
successful in the election, the city will
have an economical, honest administra-
ton Of municipal affairs
Early attendance upon the primaries,
as they are now conducted, is of the ut
most Importance. There is no telling
what circumstance may arise later in the
day to prevent a voter from exercising
his right and performing his duty in Sc,
lecting the best men to represent his
party as candidates.
The confusion of crush at the closing
hour can be avoided if voters come early.
With the major portion of the vote cast
early in the day the party workers can
give more attention to those who have
not come, and thus make sure of full
representation.
Many good citizens who complain loud
ly of the alleged evils that creep into
city government are themselves guilty Of
neglect of the duty of attending the pri-
maries and exercising their influence in
the selection of candidates A voter who
does not go to the primary has no right
to complain if unworthy candidates are
selected. He did nothing to prevent their
selection, and those with selfish interests
to serve are certain to be on hand and
work hard
So far as can be foreseen the first pri-
maries to be held under the present law
Will pass off without confusion. Every
voter will have fair chance to exnress
his preference for the men asking nomi-

the selection of the best men at the pri-

THE TUBER IN Ass1NrBoI4.

Up in the Assiniboian wilderness the
Canadian government took notion to
start an agricultural experiment station
al the metropolitan center of Indian
Head
One might reasonably expect that the
prime mission of this experiment station
was TO experiment with the growth OF
papooses, black flies and Billiards in
their native heath, or make a study OF
the origin of northern cold waves ana
frosts. But the fellows in charge of
that experiment station took the matter
seriously, and what did they report?
The world already knows of the No. /
hard wheat of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan
and the other far Northwest territories.
48ut the experiment station of Indian
head has proven that region the great

etable of commerce. Eighty-two varie-
ues We're planted to see which would

Of productivity.
The poorest variety yielded at the rate
or IA bushels per acre, and only three of
the eighty-two brought forth less than
800 per acre. There were 50 varieties that
produced 400 per acre or better. There
were twenty-four that did 500 or better

The total number of commercial enter
prises was 1854 in 1896, with a capital of

the two-year period.
Public debt interest and military expen-
diture are the two heavy charges upon
national development and the principal
causes of the late financial crisis. For
tunately, however, Japan has a large
agricultural foundation, and, as the bulk
of the revenue is derived from the land,
recuperation was prompt and normal
When the war cloud disappears from
the far shore of the Pacific and Japan
is relieved of the drain of heavy military
expenditure, that tiny empire will pro-
duce a picture of prosperity which will
be the envy of nations Already Europe
and America need to look well to their
industrial laurels. Japan gets the best

est and best that science and modern
commerce can produce of everything go
ing. Her sons are educated in Oxford,
Harvard and the finest technical insti-
tutions of Paris and Boston. Her manu-
facturers ransack civilization for ideas
and machines.
Today Japan is taking about 100000
bales of American cotton and with Yam
kee machinery is weaving it into cotton
goods with which to get the Chinese
market for cotton cloth away from both
the United States and Great Britain.
There is nothing the matter with the en-
terprise and progress of Japan.

ticer of Louisville, Ky, was a surprise to
many people in New York, but the in

of that town were described as quite nat

ger, says the Louisville health officer, is
full of microbes, and therefore dangerous
to health. Anybody who makes or sells

quantities. Some of this has come back

Recent Japanese statistics. published by
The Renter of Paris, show what progress
has been achieved by this little island

1t is difficult to believe that this insular

rapidly increasing. OF European races
there are only 1900 English residents
1896 Americans, and 900 each of German
and French
The rise Of the japanese navy is shown
by tonnage of 6l,972 in 1884, 162.1s1 in
