The PRIMARY ELECT/O -.

It may not be generally known
that the primary, which is to
take place in this town on the 4th
of March will be legal election,
held under the laws of this State.
The act which legalizes prima.
rieS in Louisianaand under which
the primary of March will be
conducted imposes certain pen
allies for the violation of any OF
it's provisions. The law recOg-
nizes the right of political parties
to make nominations and affords
all the protection necessary to
enable each party to have an
honest and free expression of it's
choice in the selection of candi-
dates. Necessarily the party
holding the primary is offered
every opportunity to protect it
self against the intrusion of mem
bers Of the opposite political or
ganization. A primary law which
failed to secure to each party it's
rights and privileges would be a
farce.
The primary to be held in this
town on March to nominate a
municipal ticket should be a
Democratic affair at which none
but Democrats should vote. The
moment that Republicans are al
lowed to participate in this cleo
ton it ceases to be Democratic
primary. The nominees of that
primary should be the choice of
the Democrats, not of the Repub-
eral occasions in the past Repub-
icans in this parish voted at
Democratic primaries and then
did not scruple to vote for their
ticket at the general election.
That is clearly wrong. Partici-
patton in primary unquestion-
ably imposes certain obligations
upon the voter. No Republican
should want to vote at a Demo-
cratic primary and no Democrat
should want to vote at Republi-
can primary. To dispute this is
to encourage political disloyalty
and bad faith.
The Gazette appreciates the
fact that there are quite a num-
Der of Republicans in this town.
They were formidable enough
few years ago to carry this pre-
cinct for the Republican candi-
date for congress. They are
still here. If any of them have
been converted to the Democracy
their conversion has not been
given publicity. These men. if
they are attached to their party
because Of its principles, will not
presume to take part in a pri-
mary election in which they can
have no possible interest. A
spirit of common fairness, if not |
q sense of party fealty, should
cause them to keep out. OF
course, if the Democrats avail !
of their rights under
the law legalizing primaries,
known Republicans legally can be
from voting, but it is
TO be hoped that that will be
unnecessary.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Post has just
made a remarkable contribution
to current political literature.
1t is true that he has revealed
nothing which was not already
known, but the superlative
nerve" which he discloses
is calculated to make the wise
wonder and the judicious grieve
This intensely partisan CORES
pendent of a rabid Republican
newspaper cody warns the South
that if it does not submit with
unquestioning docility to negro
postmastcrs and negro collectors
of customs it will be made to
suffer far greater punishment at
the hands of the all-powerful r, :
publican party of the North.
This amiable man tells to the
South. IF you will not be good,
if you refuse to accept the negro
officials which President ROOse-
Welt in his magnanimity sees fit
to give you, we Of the North, who
make the laws and interpret them
to suit ourselves, regardless o.
constitutional restrictions, will
subject you to the horrors of an
other reconstruction" This is,
in substance, the message which
is intended to intimidate South
ern men and cause them to en-
dOrSe the negro policy of PreSi-
dent Roosevelt. This tn reat may
have the desired result among u
few wealllingS. bat it is safe to
say that with the great mlss OF
Southern people it will have ex-
actly the opposite effect. It will
cause them to be more deter
mined than ever in their fight to
uphold absolute Caucasian supre-
macy in the social and political
affairs of the South.
We are told that our would
be tOrmentOrS are kind, magni-
nous: that if we behave like good
little boys and do not raise too
big a howl about the appointment
of negroes to Federal Offices in
the Southern States we will be
spared the agonies of second
more terrible than
the first.
When the South was engaged
in the herculean task of protect
ing itself against domestic and
thieves, who were sup
ported by Federal bayonets,-
even then impoverished and hu-
inflated as it was, it adhered
with Spartan fealty to the prin-
ciple of white supremacy. If il
would not bend the knee at that
time, is there any one who is SO
poor a Judge of human affairs to
believe that it will at this late
day be inundated by the idle
threats of a partisan correspon-
dent. The South is strong to-
lay. It has never been stronger
N all its history. It is conscious
# it's strength, politically and in
lustrially. In the days that it
made it's influence felt in the
narts of the world and it's sons
shaped the des TIMES of this re-
)ublic it was not more powerful
han it is at the present time.
It is strong enough to tell the
radicals of the North to mind
heir own business. It will con-
;inue to deal justly by the negro,
because it is right to do so, and
t will solve the best way it can
he greatest problem of the CEN
ury. The threats, such as have
,een made by the Post cores
can have but bad re-
ults and these will be more Sc $
'iously felt by the weaker race.

TO MAKE THEIR
BEST BATTLE
O'NeilI and Ain Have Trained tc
Perfection for the
WRESTLING CONTEST TONIGHT
Advance Sales Leave But Few Choice
Seats in the Opera House-Both
Men Are in the Pink of Condition
and Confident of Ability to Win.

Trained to the minute. Ain and
O'Nill will step upon the mat to-
night prepared to put up the battle
of their lives for wrestling honOrs.
ONeill who has been working hard
since thu articles We're signed, broke
training yesterday and is taking it
easy. He is in splendid condition,
fully able to wrestle the full five
falls, If necessary, without overtax-
ing his staying qualities, and ex-
presses his utmost confidence of win
ming this match in decisive man
ner that will leave no opportunity
open for a cry Of fake. He is deter
mined to win if such a thing is posi-
BILE, and if he loses. it will be because
Alin is the best man, and h will
take his defeat like a man and not
cry over it and allege fake and crook
edness.
Ain feels the same as ONeill and
don't see how he can lose. Trained,
as he is. to the minute, with great
strength and staying powers, he will
step on the mat with assurance born
of confidence in his ability to defeat
the Kalispell man. He has complet-
ed his training and states that at no
time in his life was he in better
shape and in condition to put up
a fight that will surprise the specta-
tors
1t is expressly understood that
there will be no change in the pro-
gram and that the audience will see
the winner take three falls out of five
before he can get the decision. With
two expert wuestlers like Ain and
O'Neill. this will insure an entertain
ment that will last for hours. and
the audience can safely depend on
getting their moneys worth. Under
no circumstances will the number of
falls be cut to two out of three as at
the other match, and the contest will
be carried out strictly as advertised
The referee will be decided upon at
the ring side and as both principals
have agreed to this, there will be nc
difficulty on that score. Many seats
| have been sold and the crowd is eX
rscted to be as large or larger than
| at the former contest. The mat is
10 be as near regulation size as the
| opera house stage will permit and
there will be less running off the mat
than befone, insuring a more salts
factory contest. The two men weigh
about the same, but who is the heav,
| lest will not he known until after the
contest. as Ain has refused to weigh
in before time is called, as asked to
do by O'Neill, but stated that he
would after the match was decided.

information which led him to believe
that his man was in the vicinity of
Rexford, and he was coming here to
make a search. Dempsey denies any
completely in the Fernie crime, and
the sheriffs officers are inclined to
doubt LaPlante's story, as he has as
yet failed to show any credentials to
prove that he is an officer However,
his story will be investigated and the
authorities at Fernie will be informed
of Dempsey's capture and asked
whether or not they want him.
He had been a partners of O'Brien
at Rexford before the latter attempt
ed the holdup which resulted in MUIR
der, and disappeared Immediately
afterward His friendship for, the
murderer was known, and the officers
worked on the theory that they were
together and that Dempsey would
act as the go between to get food,
while O'Brien would remain hidden.
The latter after he had shot the Aus
trian, returned to Rexford and told
that man had been killed on the
trail, but when he learned that the
dead mans companions were return
ing he took fright and hid in the
woods. The dead mans friends de-
scribed his appearance perfectly, be
ing familiar with his looks, as he
assisted them in cashing their checks
They are at work in one of the con
struction camps, but will be brought
to Kalispell Immediately to serve as
witnesses at his trial. While in jail
yesterday, O'Brien displayed much
nervousness and paced uneasily up
and down in the narrow confines of
the steel cage.
In case Dempsey, who was also
known at ReXford, by the name Of
Bruno, should not be wanted in Can
ada, a charge of aiding {. murderer
to escape will be made against him.

'"rhe speech of John Redmond at the great nationalist meeting at Liverpool, while marked by much of the hopefulness characteristic of recent Irish utterances, clearly indicated that the Irish leaders have not been told the particulars of the land bill which the government is about to lay before parliament" said native of England. Tt has been generally ac- cepted that the particulars agreed upon at the Dublin conference would be adopt ed by the ministry; in that case, the re- form enacted would be fairly spoch-mak- ing.
 There is no doubt that Mir Wyndham has prepared measure believed by the government to be ample to satisfy all Irish hopes on the subject of the restora- ton of the land to the people. Parliament opened with all appearance of the begin ming of an era of good feeling; it would be a serious thing if when they are made public, the actual intentions of the ministry fail to justify the hopes which they have raised.'

be arranged alphabetically. Secretary Root appeals to all Confederate author ities to aid him in his task. He de- sires temporary loans of all authentic records, and every governor of the southern states should give this sub ject careful attention. Gen. P. c. Aims worth, chief of the record and pension office of the war department, has been placed in charge of the great task, and it will be pressed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 The southern part of the task will be full of difficulties. North Carolina alone of the Confederate states has attempted to make a roster, and she could secure but 105,O0 names out of 130,000, and similar difficulties will be encountered in every other southern state Every state official and every association of veterans and every other good citizen should aid the government in the gigantic and patriotic undertak- inG to the uttermost.

KAISER IN A NEW CRUSADE.
Orders Reform In Use of the German
 Language.

Berlin, March l7.-Emperor William has turned his attention to the reforma. ton of the German language, especially directing attention to the avoidance of clauses, the use of which is one defect of the language and the despair of foreign CTS.
 In an order to the colonial branch of the foreign office the kaiser directs that the official style shall be clear and simple. he particularly desiring the omission of long -winded sentences, with involved subordinate clauses. The practice of put ting several participles and infinitives into sentence is to be avoided as much as possible. The style of reports is to be grave and measured. free alike from slang and rhetorical pathos. Unnecessary adverbs, far-fetched expressions, foreign terms and platitudes are to be omitted.
 The report of the budget commission of the municipality planes a number of councillors for reporting municipal affairs for the newspapers in return for pay ment, thus injuring the smaller journal ists. The report says that the members of the magistracy would render a service by writing informing articles on vital questions, but should not compete with penny-a-l liners. If the councillors do not stop reporting, the committee recom- mends that their names be published

Ratification of the Cana! Treaty.

The ratification of the canal treaty will not be immediately followed by tn payment of forty millions to the Panama Canal company and ten millions to the Colombian government, because the business will not be com plete until the Colombian congress meets in May. It, too, must ratify the treaty, and midsummer will come be- fore the ratifcations are exchanged, anu the United States is in position to dig the canal.
 By that time the banks can purchase the needful exchange on Europe, and Secretary Shaw can pay them with gold in the treasury, thus discharging the debts and adding to the money in circulation-two birds with one shot. The apprehension of money stringency on account of these heavy payments is wholly imaginary.
 The French people spent about S250- 000,000 on the canal, which we will get for the sum of $40,00O,0O0 It proved poor investment to the French peo- pie, and the canal may be very ex- pensiye on our hands. Congress has already appropriated S130,0O0,000 for it's construction but it's actual cost is still subject of speculation, as many of the plans are incomplete. Cost what it may, however, it is to be built.
 The Suez canal is it's only rival It coet $SO,0O0,0OO, and it has been from the outset profitable. The two canals will be rivals, especially as to South American trade, and even as to trade with the Orient. The Panama canal will scarcely be completed in less than ten years, and by that time the trade of the world will be hungry for it. It will undoubtedly prove good invest ment-perhaps not quite, so good as the Suez canal but good enough in the long run to meet the governments in- terest account in connection with the construction of the canal.
 The Suez canal is eighty-eight miles long, or about twice the length of the proposed Panama canal There are no locks, however, in the Suez canal and present plans of the Panama canal call for several locks, but these plans are subject to amendment.

Leo's Poem.

Pope Leo's latest poem, which is in the nature of a contribution to the recent celebration of his holiness ninety third birthday, is, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful composition that has come from his pen," said literary man last night.
 "I read the translation made for the New York Independent. The poem is en- titled 'Leo's Last Prayer Leo, now sets thy sun; pale is it's dying
 ray; Black night succeeds thy day Black night for thee; wasted thy frame; i;
 lifes flood sustains No more thy shrunken veins. Death casts his fatal dart; robed for the
 grave thy bones Lie under the cold stones. But my freed soul escapes her chains
 and longs in flight To reach the realms of light. That Is the goal she seeks; thither her
 journey fears; Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers: That with the citizens of heaven God S
 tace and light May ever thrill my sight; That may see thy face, Heavens Queen,
 whose mother love Has brought me home above To Thee, saved through the tangles of a
 perilous way, l lift my greatful lay.
 Tn the line before the last the trans lator doubtless wrote parlous which the printer took to be perilous."
