that every step is taking you "near to

Whether the believers In the direct
nominations by the people OF candidates
for elective Office get all they desire at
the hand of the present Legislature, 1t is
tolerably certain that the principle for
which they contend will receive partial
recognition this year, and 1t ia certain,
also, that eventually they will be given
all they ask, and perhaps more; for the
signs Of the time point individually to
abolition of the nominating convention,
loug ago shown to be the nursery of cor
ruption. In its workings if not in its COM
position the determined enemy of the
public will, and in its stead to giving to
the caucus its legitimate function Of
completing its own work.
The trend of public sentiment in this
matter is seen in nearly every part OF
the country, IL not In all parts, and an
indication of this feeling Is shown in the
drastic measure that has just been passed
by the Mississippi Legislature, placing
primary elections under the control of
the State, ordering that all nominations
from State senators down shall be made
by primaries, and practically prohibiting
State, district or county conventions.
Such conventions may meet, but
Jupy CAD MAKE uO UOIDiuaIlOuSy
aud their powers are limited to framing
platforms of principles. The law, in a
word, relegates all political power to the
people, the political organizations having
left TO them no authority beyond that OF
agents In determining contests and OF
adding up votes cast at primaries and
announcing the results. Primary cleo.
tions must be held throughout the State
for the nomination of United States SEN
ators and representatives in Congress.
1t is significant that the principal OBJ
lection urged against the Luce bill, by
persons not openly hostile to It's provi-
sions Ia that It Is more sweeping than
can possibly be got through the General
Court at this time; that 1t would be
wiser to attempt less at present rather
than by attempting too much to get
nothing. This should indicate that II
we do not secure 1t this season, we shall
eventually have the Luce bill enacted, or
something equivalent to 1t. One thing
at least is sure. The days of the nomi
mating convention are numbered; direct
nominations are coming, and they are
not great way off.

A farmer in New York is reported as
having owned dog on which he paid
taxes as required by law. One morning
he found the dog had killed seven eve
sheep. and was busy at the throat OF an
other. Very naturally he shot the dog,
though not every man is expert enough
with gun to do this. but he killed him.
and then sent bill to the county COM
missioners of 500 for the eight sheep his
dog had killed. They were inclined to
laugh at him at first, but he insisted that
he had to pay taxes on the dog. he had
the same right to receive damages as any
other man would have had, and their
counsel advised them to pay it, which they
did. So says the report we have, but in
this State and most of the States. the law
says that the owner of the dog, if known,
shall be liable for the damages done by it.
and thus the county would have claim
against the owner that would offset his
claim If this is not the law in all States
it should be, for there are enough of cases
where the owner Of the dog is not known.

The ice which came out of Dead River
one night last week stopped at the Gilroy
island, below this place, causing the water
to cover Mont Beans farm. When he
awoke in the morning, the water was
nearly up to the door. Hastily harness.
ing his horses, he took his family to his
brothers. and went for boat to get his
cattle to place of safety. When he re-
turned with the boat, the cattle could just
hold their heads out OF the water, while
some OF the sheep were drowned. With
the help of some other men he saved all
OF his cattle. Much damage will be done,
as the water has been thirty-seven inches
in his house. The water soon drained off.

1t seems that the Vermont cattle COM
missioners have run up against an un-
looked Tor obstacle in their work OF test
ing cattle with tuberculin. They have
learned that subjecting COW to the
,uberculn test may render her immune
for certain length of time so far as
tuberculn is concerned. They fud that
large number of cattle just in advance of
their own work have been thus treated.
This renders the test of the commission
ers entirely unreliable.

VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.

81 believe that the question of build
ing a new City Hall should be left to
the vote of the people, said Council
man A. J. Wilhelm, today. While
the late Legislature, by passing the
Longworth bill, gave the Council and
City Commissioners power to 90 ahead
with the erection of City Hall with
out reference to the will of the people
in the matter, yet these bodies are
under moral obligation to the citizens
of Akron TO permit them to voice their
wishes in the matter by their ballot.
Any officer who is opposed to permit
such expression by the people is un-
worthy Of the position which he holds,
and the popular inference from such
opposition might be that he did so from
an Interested motive. With the ex-
ception Of n few who serve by ap-
pointment, all the officials Of the city
are the direct representatives OF the
people and should not be afraid to per-
nit them to express themselves as to
what they desire them to do. The
Legislature has passed the I,ongworth
bill, but what of that? Legislatures
may impose upon the rights Of the
people but there Is no obligation upon
local officials to concur in the impo-
sition."

In the Sweat Box" Here For
Many Hours.

After having been kept in custody
since early Tuesday, and withstanding
the questions Of the police ana Detec-
tive Doerler for "a hours, Albert @.
Rice, a smooth, middle aged man with
a vandyke beard and shabby-genteel
appearance, confessed, Wednesday, to
having siwndled Akron people out
of $50, Barberton people out of about
$500, and Cuyahoga Falls people out
of considerable sum.
Rice represented himself as working
for the North American Book Syndi'
cate and offered great bargains in
magazines, including Munsey's and
other periodicals. From those who
subscribed, he would collect part of the
subscription money and state that the
rest was to be collected when the books
began to come The police of many
cities have been looking for Rice.
Suspicion was aroused by the nnturc
of the offers he made. Rice was cap
tured by Officer John King. He told
very smooth stories, and it seemed
that the police might nave to let him
go. Wednesday the questioning was
resumed and Rice finally admitted thai
he represented only himself. The Mum
sey Co. offers a reward of $500 for his
capture and conviction.
