that years campaign the question OF
primary elections in Iowa did not fig
ure in the least. 1t is fact, too, that
the caucus and convention system in
Iowa has given the best Of satisfac-
ton; that Iowa has been free from
scandals of packed caucuses and ma
nipulated conventions and that the peo-
pie have felt that their will has been
fairly expressed by the nominations
which have in the past been made by
their party representatives.
Another thing that the careful,
thoughtful legislators are considering
is the effect of the primary laws
which have been enacted in some sur
rounding states. They want to know
how such laws work in practice; what
their strong points are and where
their weaknesses lie. They feel that
Iowa sends forth no Macedonian cry
for urgent legislation along this line,
and tha' m'ka~ a law of this char

Des Moines. March 6.-The defeat
of the Crossley primary election bill
in the state senate of Iowa has un-
doubtedly put an end to efforts for
legislation in that direction for the
present session of the general assem-
bly,, if it has not killed the proposed
measure for years to come. There has
been some talk that compromise
primary election bill, providing for
majority nominations, and not includ-
ing United States senators in the list
of candidates to be voted for, might
be introduced sometime during the
present session, but as far as can be
ascertained there is nothing more
than talk to such scheme.
The fact is that the present member
ship of the legislature is pronouncedly
opposed TO anything in the way of
state wide primary legislation at pres
emit. This is not because the mem
bers are absolutely opposed to the
primary principle, for a majority of
both houses are known to favor the
idea in theory; but they are opposed
to placing an experimental law on the
statute books. Many members are
sure their constituents do not want
legislation of this kind enacted. Others
are in doubt as to the wishes of the
voters. This can easily be true be-
cause the present membership of the
assembly was elected in 1903, and in

wrote you stating that had been
entirely cured OF severe kidney
trouble by taking less than two bottles
of Foley's Kidney Cure. 1t entirely
stopped the brick dust sediment, and

by ex-senator William H. Lindsay Of
Kentucky. who is practicing law in
New York, and A. c. Schenstone. also
OF New York. who appeared in Pat
rick's behalf owing 10 the illness OF
David b. Hill They asked Governor
Higgins to grant a respite in Patrick's s
case to enable them to examine the
5000 pages of the testimony taken
on the trial, in order to perfect an
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
The governor said yesterday that
his denial Of the reprieye must not
be interpreted as in any way fore
shadowing what his action would be
on an application for executive cienr-
ency. He wrote Patrick's S attorneys
stating that in view of the long period
which has elapsed since Patrick s
conviction, he is not satisfied thar
of taking an appeal on technical
grounds was in the interest of justice.

Ply, self-reliant, prosperous, brave and
patriotic. Socialism seeks to level
down and not to level up. 1t is alike
at war with the best interests of both
capital and labor. 1t seeks to restrict
each in the exercise of it's natural
functions. 1t puts limitations upon
each which are contrary to American
genius and spirit. In the United
States the laborer of today becomes
the capitalist of tomorrow Such has
been our experience from the begin
ming until now, and it will be history
of tomorrow
Neither constitutions nor statutes,
though they were framed by men with
the wisdom of Solomon, can establish
and maintain equality and absolute
justice among men. We must look to
the persuasive power and influence of
the Christian church to bring them to
complete realization of their true
relationship to each other to their pri-
mary duty to deal fairly with one an
other, to carry into the various rela-
tons of life the principles of that
brief and splendid code, the Golden
Rule.
No political law can maintain en-.
during relations of amity between
capital and labor. No human law can
bring them into such harmony as per-
petually to avoid friction and collision
The Christian church can do more
than all the measures framed by the
hand of man to maintain industrial
peace, tor it teaches the brotherhood
of man and inspires men with a sense
of justice and fair play which is the
ultimate foundation of good relations.
If men do not have within them the
spirit of love and justice, if they do
not have in their breasts the spirit of
divine law, there is little hope of en-
during concord.

NY BIRTHDAY GIFT.

Oh, this lovely cluster of flowers,
Sent to me for today,
Breathe of southern, sunny cline
AS | translate the words they say.
The graceful fern and acacia,
Lying SO languid from ennui,
Whisper of sincerity
True friendship and fidelity
or amiabiity and grace divine.
| read in the faint, sweet jasmine
And joy has robbed me of my despair,
AS the violet pleads for love and prayer
What did he say to you, flowers dear,
AS he carefully lead you away?
Did he kiss you goodbye with little
sigh?
Tell me, | beg of you, pray.
All this little pale pensive,
viii give me the answer sought.
Then | gaZed into the depths of her
innocent eyes,
But she only answered me in surprise

had only come to glance at the gay
