Shooting ARRAY AT Sumner.

VIM. Stewart imbibed too free
ly of the juice of hilarity at Sum
ner Thursday of last week, and
became so loud that George Bur-
ton, the constable of Cunningham
township, undertook to quiet him.
Stewart objected to having his
painting of the town done in
anything but red and emphasized
that fact by caressing Burton
with a red brick. L. Sharp, the
town marshal, was sent for to
mix Stewards paint with more
grave colors, but Stewart again
entered his protest by sho wing
fight, and the marshal shot him in
the arm, inflicting flesh wound.
During the melee Stewart also
assaulted Beverly johnson,
stockman from Livingston
county, with a hatehet, and sub
sequently paid Johnson SS to
leave.
Stewart and Johnson were ar
rested, Stewart for common as
sault and Johnson for compound
ing felony. They were tried
before Justice F. M. Lewis of
Sumner yesterday afternoon, bat
we did not learn the results of
the trials before going to press.

Il
IT WAS expected that one of
the Warmest contests of the pres
ent Legislative session in Mime
sofa would arise over the amend
ment Of the primary election law
which has now had two trials
without being in the least
changed from it's original form.
Several bills have been introduc.
ed to amend the law but thus far
the legislature, hampered by an
undigested code, has done very
little toward even considering
the outlines Of important legisla-
tion and there has been no de bate
upon the primary election law in
either house or senate nor has
the law been much discussed in
committee. There is quite a
general sentiment. however, that
the law must remain further,
no two legislators are to be found
in agreement, and the amend
ments proposed, if a tenth OF
them get to pass, will make a
simple law, a very complex thing.
We should not be at all surprised
to see the law stand another two
years in it's present form. Every.
body admits that the law is de.
fective but the amendments are
quite generally worse than the
law.
For one thing the law is a pro
life breeder of the independent
voter. No one who watched the
campaign last fall can deny that
the law largely washed out al:
party lines. This is in the in.
fancy of the law. If it remains
upon the statute books for two
more elections there will be alb
solutely no such thing as party
lines in political subdivisions tc
which the law applies. Should
the law be applied to the nomina
ton of all candidates political
parties will in a few years com.
pletely disappear.
No wonder the legislature
hesitates to take any action on
the law-it is a sort Of a white ele.
plant that no one knows just
what to do with.

An Unpleasant Alternative.

THERE are signs that the coun.
try is beginning to show serious
interest in the railway rate
question. When the time comes
that the people of this country
actually do take an active inter.
est in the matter, we shall all be
face to face with two alternatives
either the railroads must quit
their opposition to rate regula.
ton, and there must be enacted
some reasonable, effective legis-
lation granting eq uita BILE rates to
all or we shall have to work out
the problem Of government own
ership of railways.
We believe that the former al
tentative will be the one which
will actually be chosen and
we cannot contemplate with
equaniamity the thought that the
great business Of transportation
shall ever become a governmental
institution. We are firmly con-
vinced that in such an event
poorer service would be rendered
and that the political life Of the
nation would be thereby endan-
gered. It is nevertheless the
fact that people generally are be-
coming FESTIVE under the rob.
berry to which they are subjected
by the great railway systems of
the country and that they are
beginning to realize that the rail
ways are public institutions. and
that they should be managed in
the interest Of the public, not in
the interest Of a few hundred or
a few thousand stockholders. If
the railways Of the country do
not accept this fact and meet it
by wisely submitting themselves
