WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10.
With the close of summer interest
in politics is resumed in the capital
city and slowly politicians and dip,
lomats are returning from their sum-
mer vacations. President Roose,
welt is expected back on September
81, and with his arrival the hotels
will begin to fill up with office seek
ers and politicians.
Washington has experienced the
most comfortable summer of its
career. 1t is more of summer re-
sort than almost any other place in
the country. On only two days did
the thermometer register over 90,
and at no time were the nights warm
and disagreeable, The people who
flocked to the seashore or to Maine
for summer comfort were compelled
to provide themselves with furs and
heavy overcoats while Washington

Many Minnesotans who have visit
ed Washington will remember the
dingy' dirty looking railroad depots
which the capital city boosted of,
both owes the Pennsylvania and the

going to be changed and active work
has commenced. The preliminary
work requires the removal of abou,

A Progressive Newspaper.

One Of the most welcome exch anges
that comes to our table is the Duluth
News Tribue. 1t is neat, newsy and
bright-fairly bubbling over with the
energy and enthusiasm that are appar-
emily behind it. The News Tribune's
department called News and Com
ment," conducted by Miss Mary
M'Fadden, is unquestionably one of
the brightest and wittiest paragraph
ers' columns in the west. The News
Tribune is now going to add to it's
regular Sunday edition a four page
comic colored supplement, an improve
ment which will assuredly be highly
by its readers, particular
ly by the children.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

The Elk River Star-News, which
has the faculty of saying things both
wisely and we'll, suggests that 1t is
more than probable that the next
legislature will repeal, the primary
election law.
Well, why should it motor fail
ing to repeal, so amend it as to make
it's purpose effective. 1twas intend
ed to transfer hypothetical power
from the""political boss to the peo-
pie. 1t only served to raise up
coterie of new bosses, and to tie the
hands of the people in localities
where they should be freest. In
politically close county or district
the boss is not a very dangerous per-
son. He knows that party success
depends upon the nomination of
good men-men with elements of
positive strength both political and
personal. A we'll attended repre-
sentative convention is better calcu
lated to select such a man, after con-
ference and discussion, than the ex-
listing system of primary elections
possibly can. Under the new law a
candidate announces himself and ina
mediately commences to "Austle"
for votes. A man whose name is
familiar to the people, whatever his
qualifications, has the best chance to
secure votes. In the nature of ]
things the masses do not and cannot
know a candidate with sufficient in
timacy to decide his relative qualii-
cations. Under the old caucus sys-
tenn the voters were privileged to
meet and delegate power to a few
well-known neighbors with instruc-
tions if desired, as to the selection
of a candidate and the framing of
general party policy platform. I'm
der the present system he las no
such privilege. He goes to the
polls and casts a vote for persons
whose names are printed on pre-
pared ballot and the average voter
has no acquaintance whatsoever with
one in three of the persons for whom
he votes.
In counties like Stearns, where
the party majority is pronounced,
more bad blood is engendered with
in the ascendant party than under
the old system, and the minority
has not the least influence in the Sc
lection of officers. The republicans
of Stearns county formerly could {
exercise a powerful influence in as
surfing the selection of good county
officers. They could select one or
more from several independents"
or the regulars, and consolidate their
strength. They could not elect, but
hey could defeat, which is quite as e
much to the purpose. Under the e
new law they may only sit idly by q
md do nothing. They can main \
ain no organization, and have no l
means of concentrating their power t
~ unified action. e
This is not fanciful imagining-
t is the existing condition due to r
he primary law. C
Scores of other equally pertinent n
objections to the primary law are a
vident to those who have given it !
ttention. Repeal it or so amend it
hat it's author will need to be in
reduced to it.
