life and has had most picturesque
career. He was born on a farm in Lo-

largest results. Because of this necs-
sity for union it is most important that
the representatives of the party be
chosen with the utmost possible care.
1t is the recognition of this fact that
has caused the numerous attempts to
reform the primaries.
The primary is distinct American
institution, but government by party
is common to all free countries No
where, however, has it gained the flexi-
bility and strength that it has in Amer
lea. The necessity for strength has al
lowed fraud and corruption to creep
in and be winked at. and it is but lately
that it has become widely recognized
that the place to strike this evil is at
the primary
The primary is the cornerstone of the
party. 1t is from this that the party
derives its leaders; and the logical de-
duction follows that it is at this point
that the effort must be made to elimi-
nate some of the evils that are recog-
nized to be present in government by
party.
Abuses have crept into both direct
primaries and delegate conventions
but direct nomination." as understood
and contemplated in the primary cleo
ton reform movement, invokes the
strong arm of the law to regulate the
primaries and, correct these abuses.
The following suggestions have been
considered by some as being essential
to any good primary law, whether d.
rect or delegate:
1. All primaries to be held under the
forms of law, with regular boards. an
swerable not to party committees but
to courts.
2. Permanent primary election pre-
cincts, with a maximum and minimum
number of voters.
3. Some form of registration.
4. Rigid restriction of voting to
members of the party holding the pri-
mary.
5. Australian system of voting.
s. Penalties for all possible viola =
tions Of the purity of the ballot, but no
penalties so severe that juries will re-
fuse to convict.

The exegencies of the case demand
such an action it is the logical outcome
of the democratic situation. The party
platform will be as colorless as the
candidate because the democracy of
the nation are not in position to be

Between the radlcallSm OF Bryan and
the conservatism of Cleveland there is
a wide gulf. Nationally the democracy
has gone off on a wide tangent and
the return must be gradual. 1t is true
that the turning back has already be-

When Property Is Delivered the

Paris, April 23.-The Associated Press
is authorized to announce that the con-
tract by which the ownership Of the
Panama canal passes to the United
States is signed. sealed, delivered and
completed. The title to the canal route
is now vested in the government of tho
United States.
The document by which this transac-
ton is consumnated bears the signa-
ture Of President Bo and Director
Richman of the Panama Canal COM
pany who signed for the company as
its responsible officers.
The transfer is complete and without
reservation, and the United States Ee-
cures a perfect title.
This result has been quietly accom-
plished and unexpectedly as the pub
lie had been given to understand the
contract would not be executive until
after the meeting Of the stockholders
Of the Panama Canal company. AS u
matter OF fact, however, when the
meeting takes place President Bo will
announce the sale has been completed
and instead of asking for authority 10
execute a future contract it will only
remain to ratify the contract OF sale
which the officers of the company have
already formally completed
Only a few of the highest officers of
the company are now aware OF the Sc
cret, which will not be known except
by this announcement in the United
States up to the time Of the meeting.
Tt is confidently believed that the COM
pletion of the sale before the meeting
will increase the vote for ratification
as it will be recognized that nothing
more remains but to acquiesce.
When W. A. Day and Charles Russell
United States assistant attorney gen
eral, who are in Paris to assist in the
transfer of the property. were seen b.
the Associated Press they reluctantly
admitted that the transfer had been
consummated. and furnished the fol-
lowing Official statement In writing:
The papers transferring the rights

nal company to the United States have

trian part of the display was excellent.
In this department the show has been trc
mendously improved over all previous
seasons. Sells and Downs have collected
one of the finest punches of horses ever
seen here.
If there was one feature of the parade
which deserves mention above everything
else It was the caIiope. This thrilling
machine was operated by a woman and
she got more music out Of it than any

MYSTERIOUS MR.. SPENCER.
Admits He Went to Kansas City on
Municipal Business.

City Attorney Spencer returned to-
day from a three days visit to Kansas
City, Kan, and Leavenworth. OF
course when the city attorney goes
away hurriedly on city business and
stays three days, people expect that
something is up" If anything is up,
Mr.. Spencer is careful not to reveal it.
though he admits that his trip was
solely in the interests of the city.
Il went to Kansas City, says Mr.
Spencer, for the purpose of consult
ig with Mayor Gilbert and the other
Kansas City officials about the laws
regulating the obstruction of the chan
mel of the. Kansas river. An action is
pending before the city council in re-
gard to this matter, and I thought it
would be well to know what the Kan
sas City people are going to do. They
are more vitality interested in the case
than we are, and are talking about
some sort of legislation on the sub
ject- Nothing has been done there
yet, however, and they have not
definitely decided what they will do.
Il also went to LeaVenWOrth but
not on business connected with the gas
case. I am not at liberty to state
what I did go theer for. It was city
business, but had nothing to do with
the gas case"
