RACK 10 THE CONVENTION.

The call for a republican primary
election in Poweshiek county annou
ces that the question will be submitted
Ia the voters to be decided whether the
marty shall continue to make it's noml-
nations by primary elections or return
to the old convention system. 1t Is TO
he regretted that any such question
shouId aver be even so much as raised.
u that Poweshiek is not alone IN its
uuandary is apparent from the discus
sion current in almost every county In
the state. That the primary election
has its faults as a nominating system
,must he admitted. The greatest of them
are that democrats will mix into repub-
lican primaries in counties Where re-
publican nominations amount virtually
TO elections, and that candidates are
burdened with the necessity OF making
a long and expensive campaign. How
ever. If it is the majority expression OF
the greatest number that is desired in
selecting candidates, there ought to be
no question as between the primary and
the convention system.
It is true that the convention system
Is Just as much in harmony with u
representative form of popular govern
ment as Is the primary election, but
how are the convention delegates Sc
lected? Voters who have been accus-
toned to attend party caucuses need
not be told what a farce the caucus is.
The local boss, who has some personal
in controlling the party and all
Its nominees, takes it upon himself to
see that a few of his friends drop
around to the caucus, while everybody
else Is Indifferent and tending to his
private affairs. The p~re-arranged slate
is put thru and the county convention
results all fixed before the conven-
ton is ever held. There is no doubt but
what this plan suits the politician the
best, The fact that caucuses are m
times, In fact, oftimes, snapped five or
ten minutes before the real representa-
tive attendance arrives, is forgotten be-
fore the evils of a few democrats voting
at a primary.
On the other hand, granting that, as
at present managed, he primaries do
admit of unqualified voters, and that
there is corruption practised, none can
deny that the activity of the candidates
calls out a primary vote which gives a
fair expression from ten times the
number Of voters that ever take part in
delegate caucuses. Why would it not
be a better plan, then, to improve the
primary, instead of rejecting it for the
old favorite of the ringster? The state
of Minnesota has a law in successful
operation which requires all parties to
nominate candidates by primary cleo
tons and requires that the primaries OF

PUBLISHED DAILY BY THE
NEW MILITIA LAW.

Our citizen soldiery takes or a e
interest and Importance since President
Roosevelt has signed the new militia
hill adopted by congress. 1t marks the
completion Of a task that has engaged
the attention of congressman for many
years.
BY the provisions of this measure,
which was introduced in the house of
representatives by General Charles
Dick, of Ohio. and in the senate by
Senator Joseph r. Hawley, the organ
lied militia, with Its 1l5, 900 men, which
Rad no standing in The military estab-
lshment Of the country, now becomes
Il part of the armed forces of the ma
ton. In time of war the president may
call upon the National Guard for a term
not exceeding nine months, for service
within the boundaries of the country,
and when volunteers are needed for
service outside Of the country the menu
Of the organized state forces Will
have the first opportunity to enlist. The
bill also provides for the rearming and
the re-euuip1nent Of the National Guard
on the lines laid down for the regular
service. This insures greater uniform
ity and efficiency.
The tactical organization, as well as
the equipment of the National Guard.
will from now on be like that of the
United States army. and the new law
specifies that within five years these
changes must all be completed. To ac-
complish this purpose $4,000 900 has
been appropriated, Of which this state
will receive about $4,000.
Joint camps of instruction, in which
National Guardsmen and regulars
will take part In maneuvers and prac-
tice marches, are also provided for in
in the bill. These encampmsnts will
give the citizen soldier a chance to see
how his comrade of The army lives in
camp. and they will also promote good
fellowship between the two branches OF
the service. Attendance at these en-
campments on the part of National
Guardsmen will be at the request of the
governor. and not by order of the army
authorities. altho. of course. the presi-
dent will continue to be the comman-
e~errin-chief.
Under the new Law the militia forces
OF the several states are expected to be
carefully trained reserves that are al
WAYS needed by a great nation tho
there will be no greater desire TO en-
courage the martial spirit. The people
of the United states are lovers of peace
and propose to abide in it, even tho
they feel impelled to encourage mill
tary readiness.

faster and better workrnen than the
rest and five may be little slower and
poorer worhnen than the rest. Hence
it will be seen that there is nothing to
the oft repeated charge that we force
the employer to pay the same rate of
wages to good and tad alike. It is
some time claimed that unions stifle
ambition and prevent men from rails
ing up from the ranks. There is only
one job as president at the head of
any industry, great or small. Each in
dustry has one superintendent, one
foreman, etc. Hence there is only room
at the top for a very few and the
unions never did a thing to prevent
anybody from getting up there if they
had the necessary talent and ability
to do so. The unions do not put
brake on brains or special talent and
never did a thing to prevent any one
possessing either from going to the
top. While we admit that there is
difference in the brain earning capa-
city of men, we submit that the diff
ference in the muscle earning capacity
does not exist to such an extent that
it becomes a factor in wages paid in
large factories.

One of the favorite themes for or;-

DDS by those who are at a loss for het-
ter excuse to find fault it is the old crv
that we compel the employer to nav
the same rate Of wages to each em-
ploye. That is, that we ask as much
for the bad workman as we do for the
good one, which they claim is an ont
rage. The facts are that the unions
ask a minimum price, and have never
been known to stop the boss from
paying his fine workmen as much more
as he pleases. The very fact that there
is minimum is a protection to the
better class Of workmen If il was
not for the union the so-called good
Workmen would receive far less for his
wages than he does under union condi-
lions. We hold that the earning ca
pacity of the great bulk of the men
in a given shop where the pay plan
prevails is just about the same. We
hold that in a shop of 100 men that
the. earning capacity of 80 of them is
about the same, five may be "a little
