They Will Be Illegal.

We observe that quite number
of the judicial district committee
are going right along calling pri-
maries regardless Of the law pass
ed by the Legislature, going into
effect at once and providing that
no primary should be held earlier
than sixty days prior to the cleo
ton for which it is called.
The act provided that calls issu-
ed prior to June 10th should not
be affected by the law but all 9TH
ers contender its provisions.
This law was intended to put a
stop to ''snap primaries but we
said at the time, and we repeat
that the good and timely purpose
of the law would be turned into a
hardship and injury, in districts
like this where the campaign had
been on for a full month and where
all of the candidates were known
and already announced.
The law makes our campaign OF
about a hundred days duration.
1t is not only burden to the can
didates, but a sore trial to the peo-
pie. But it is the law and must
be observed and respected.
1t seems not to have reached
outlying districts and their CON-
mittees are calling primaries in
July and August at various dates,
The newspapers of the State
should make note of it and see
to it that time and energy are not
wasted on illegal primaries. - a-
ton Rouge Advocate.
Better late than ever. All the
congressional district machines but
one have already done their snap
ping. Some of them gave but a
short shrift to possible competitors
against the sitting member. In
two belated cases there will be seri-
Gus competition.
Judge Davey deserves credit for
having objected to snap call in
his district, preferring to give a
full chance to any man who might
want to contest the nomination
with him. The act Of the legisla-
ture, which is step in the direc-
ton OF stopping the hocus pocus
of executive committees, will have
effect in but few judicial dis
tricts, and in Judge Davey's Sc
cond congressional district.
The same good reasons which
suggested this act will apply with
still greater force TO a compulsory
primary election law. The People

The Weevil Eating Ents.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
Prof. Cook, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has ar
rived with four thousand Guate-
malan ants which eat the boil Wee
vii in Central America and permit
the raising of cotton in a certain
district in that country. All OPP
position to the introduction of the
ants has been removed by assuran-
ces on the part of Prof. w. ID.
Hunter, that they will be kept
closely confined until their habits
are well known. He also gave as
surances to those living near Vic
toria that the ants are easily des-
troyed in case it is thought desira-
BILE to get rid of them. The legal
injunctions which were first filed
against the introduction of the ants
by the United States Department
of Agriculture have been with
drawn and the following telegram
addressed to Secretary Wilson at
Washington by Prof. Cook. dated
Victoria, JULY IL, indicates the
progress that has been made:
after four weeks of captivity
and of sugar diet the Guatemalan
ants promptly destroyed the Texas
boil weevils; also the Texas red
ants, the harmful species which it
was feared they might resemble y
According to Prof. Cooks state
ment, this act does not feed upon
vegetation at any time and it is
probable that all fears that have
been felt concerning the introduc-
ton of the new pest into Texas
fields will prove groundless.
The question may arise, how
ever, as to the final disposition OF
the ants if the expectations of Prof
Cook are realized and these greedy
feeders eat out the weevils now in
tie state. Upon what will the
ants subsist when the weevils dis
appear? Will their feeding habits
change? This is matter that nc
present investigation or trial by
the scientists can determine. Time
only will prove what changes viii
occur in the Texas habit of the
Guatemalan ants. In the mean
time We may rest. upon the assn
rance Of the experts that the ant i,
easily destroyed because oft form
ing colonies in the ground, APP
pearing as large nests, which may
be easily and quickly treated with
deadly fumes. This phase Of the
matter suggests the ludicrous sto.
ry of the doctor who could cure
nothing but fits, but was able tc
change all diseases from which his
patients suffered into this uncom.
Portable complaint and then he vas
able to heal the patient.
We will watch very closely the
progress of the crusade made by
these ants against the weevil. We
apprehend no final damage from
the introduction of these ants be-
cause of the close attention and
care that will be given by the ex.

The three States mentioned, Ten-
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi,
are each larger in territory and po-
pulation than Louisiana, yet We see
that the judicial expenses of each
are much less than those in Louis
lana, as shown by the appropria-
tons. Our Legislature, instead of
reducing expenses of the judiciary,
SO MS To have money for schools
and other beneficent objects, pen
sions for instance, has submitted a
constitutional amendment re-esta-
blishing the circuit court system
at cost of $24, 600 per amman, al
SO an additional judge for the pa
IRISH of Caddo at cost of $1,000,
making the judicial expenses of
this State amount to the grand to-
tai of 1928 800, and still no provi-
sion has been made to relieve the
Supreme Court, the judges of which
are the only officials who are over
worked. But in the event that ac-
ton is taken looking to the relief
of said court by increasing the
number of said judges thereof, the
enormous cost of maintaining our
judiciary system will be still fur
Their increased.
The amendment submitted rela-
tive to the re-establishment of the
appellate court system is practical
ly the same proposition that was
rejected by the voters of the State
two years ago, but it seems that
the Legislature is determined to es-
tablish not only unnecessary, but
expensive court, the only object of
which is or can be, to make more
Offices for certain members of the
legal fraternity to fill. The pre-
sent constitution provides for
courts of appeal composed of dis
ignated by the Supreme Court. ,And
when a man is elected as district
Judge, the holding of circuit courts
is a part of his duty. The small
number of cases (2S7) appealed to
the circuit courts during twelve
months in the entire State outside
of New Orleans, demonstrates the
fact that separate judges to hold
those courts are absolutely unne-
cessary. The district judges in
the State possess as much legal ia
lent and other qualifications to
preside over the courts Of appeal
as any that could be elected spe-
cially for such purpose.
With judiciary system already
far too expensive, we Ito not believe
the people will vote for the amend
ment relative to circuit courts, Civ
ing no improvements over present
conditions, but creating six more
Offices at an expense to the people
of $24. 900 per annum.

Seattle Man Makes Sure Thing of

Seattle Dec. l4.-The unmistaka-
Bile odor of gas emanating from the
room of Dan Gallagher, in the A. b.
c. block, 1923 Third avenue. yester-
day afternoon, led to the discovery
of his body bathed in blood. The man
had committed suicide after a drunk
en- debauch, the cause of which is sup-
posed to be divorce from his wife. A
tell-tale razor. smeared with blood.
lay upon the floor. The throat had
been cut from ear to ear and the ar
teries in both wrists severed. His
second attempt had been successful.
A few days ago the landlady had
foiled his first attempt to take his life
and at that time Gallagher passed the
circumstances up lightly, saying that
he had just neglected to turn off the
gas.
Suspscting something wrong, the
landlady called in Patrolman Ribbach
who forced the door. Deputy Coro-
ner Arnold investigated the case. No
inquest will be held, as the coroner
says that ii is a plain case of suicide.
The remains were removed to the
Bonney-Watson morgue The suicide
was formerly a butcher and lived in
South Seattle. He has been unem-
ployed for some time. He was about
35 years of age. A father, Pat Gala

Not n pound oS the 1906 wool clip
of the Pendleton district has been
contracted for, comes the statement
officially from J. II. Gwinn. secretary
of the oregon Wool Growers associ-
alton, in the oregon Daily Journal.
This declaration practically applies
to all of Eastern Oregon. There is
an upward tendency of the market
over last year, but so far as is known
no offerings bf any kind have been
made.
''The outlook for next season $
clip" said Gwinn, ''is excellent. but
there Is little likelihood of more wool
being produced than last spring.
There are about 225,0O0 sheep on the
Umatilla and Morrow county ranges,
or $4,000 less than there were earli-
err In the year. Sales have been heavy
thousands of head going to pastures
In Nebraska for feeding purposes"
In the Pendleton district last sea-
son 100000 pounds OF wool were
produced. The lowest price paid for
this clip was 10h cents and the high
est was " cents. At Shaniko, the
heart of the wool belt OF Oregon,
where between 5000, 900 and 9.OOO,-
900 pounds were grown. 10 cents was
paid I'm one instance. This was the
highest price recorded In the state
last season.
II believe" said Gwinn, that
prices throughout Oregon Will be
much better next year than they were
this fall. The heavy selling OF sheep
to outside buyers will diminish the
output and a condition of general
prosperity will have tendency to IN
crease the demand. When people
have they money they would rather
pay a little more and take wooien
instead of cotton fabrics"
The mills of Pendleton use a great
deal of the wool grown In this sec
tion: however. coarse woods are inn
ported. For securing purposes mills
prefer the coarser woods and as a
rule Pendleton sheepmen raise the
finer grades. Rambouillets and De-
Iaines are the two breeds to be found
on most OF the ranges. For mutton
purposes these are crossed with
Cottswolds and Hncolns.
About 2O.O00.00O pounds of wool
were grown in Oregon this year and
most of It east Of the Cascades.
