The Primary System.

There is talk Of adopting the Craw-
ford county primary election system
of selecting republican candidates for
county offices. 1t puts the matter d.
rectlv up to the people. All the can
didates for sheriff, for instance, will
be placed on the ballot, and the one
receiving the largest number OF votes
will be the nominee. Regularly or
ganized election, boards control the
primary elections, and such boards
pass upon the qualification of voters.
1t may be tried during the coming
summer. -Atchison Globe This is
the fairest way for conducting pRlma,

Glasgow and Municipal Ownership.

A few years ago the advocates Of
municipal ownership or control
which II called in England municipal
trading-were won't to cite the case Of
Glasgow and rest satisfied that they
had made an irrefutabIe argument for
the latter-day socialistic tendency.
sThe Glasgow municipality touches the
citizen at all points, and at one time
1t appeared on the surface that the
municipality was indeed about to take
care of the citizens "from the cradle
to the grave" The laps Of time be-
gins to disclose the weak points in the
latest attempt of a people to 'lift
itself by its own bootstrapS." In Glas-
cow the expenditures are now exceed
ing the revenues; the debt has In
creased in ten years from S27, 900, 900
to 1914, 1000, 900; the statement of the
city'S position is fallacious, because
only two per cent is allowed for inter-
est and only one. per cent is allowed
for depreciation Of plant; taxation
must Of necessity be high, and Peter
is systematically robbed to pay Paul.
The evils of the system are cum ula-
tive, and British towns are confronted
with the certainty that they will pile
up enormous debts. Individual enter
prise Is checked; the next generation
is saddled with unjust burdens; city
governments are involved In labor
questions, and the system has In 1t
the seeds ofcorruption. Philadelphia

Russian Policy versus Our Trade Pros
poets.

Russia has taken large chapter
out Of the history of American pro-
lection, and proposes to supply her
outlying agricultural districts with
manufactured goods from her older
and more populous provinces, where
textile and metallurgical industries
are developing with great rapidity.
At the epoch, when, after acquiring
the PHILIPPINES and other interests In
in the Pacific, we are about to con.
struct an interoceanic canal, we could
not be expected to look with entire
complacency upon policy Of Russian
expansion that has for its ultimate
object the acquisition Of large areas
and populations in the far east In or
der to provide new Russian markets
ard to shut out American and Euro
pean competition. Whenever Russia
may feel safe in dropping the pretenSe
of China's authority In Manchuria,
and avowedly make that region part
of her Asiatic domains, she will not
ne under any obligat on to maintain
the commercial treaty between China
and the Unit,d States that has just
gone into effect. For the future ORR
entail trade of this country, 1t is prob
ably desirable, therefore, that the in
tegrity of the Chinese Empire should
be maintained, Thus, also, the Japan
csc, while admitting that Russian In
terests are greater than theirs In
Manchuria, claim, nevertheless, to
have very important commercial and
other connections with that province,

esce 10 its complete Discrimination
