Our new primary law has had
its first test and the results are
fairly satisfactory to the voters.
In those precincts where the
people got out they really had
something to say about the nomi-
nation of officers. The primary
election law was created because
the people demanded something
of the kind. 1t is not perfect
but it may be the stepping stone
to something better. The Min
neapolis Journal has been pay
ing close attention to the opera.
ton Of the law, and is of the be-
lief that the 1905 legislature did a
part of its duty, at least by the
people. In substantiation of
this, the fact is cited that in South
Dakota the legislature refused to
enact a similar primary law at its
last session and as a result the
caucuses recently held for the
election of state delegates were
controlled by the insurgents, ~

Famous Newspaper
Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor.
respondent Of The Chicago Record
Herald, writes a two-column letter for
his paper every day in the year without
intermission. His powers of sustained
work are as great a marvel as his
faculty of always making his matter
interesting.
Probably no other newspaper corre-
spondent in the country is read so
regularly and eargerly by so many
thousands Of men and women as MI.
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has travelled several
several times around the world, visiting
every country under the sun, and writ
ing a larger number of brilliant and in.
teresting letters of travel than were
ever before produced by a single hand.
Many OF these have lately been re-
printed in book form. One of his latest
expeditions for The Record. Herald
was through Mexico, resulting in a
series of letters as entertaining as those
he wrote a few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, r ussia
and Germany will rival in importance
and interest any of his previous contri-
buttons.
Beginning his career in Chicago as a
reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He re-
signed that position to accept a govern
ment appointment as secretary of the
South American commission. So brill
iantly did he perform the duties of this
office that James G. Blaine, Secretary
of State, placed him at the head of the
Bureau of American Republics. At
the worlds fair in Chicago he dis.
tinguished himself as the executive
head of the Latin-American depart
ment. He is a member of almost every
learned society in Washington and of
many in Europe. 1t is not strange that
The Record-Herald prints Mr.. Curtis
letter every day in the first column of
the front page, and that nothing but a
California earthquake can displace it
from that station of honor.
