sTATR PRIMARY REFORM.

The commission by The Duluth con-
vention OF direct state primary plank
In the platform in not particularly i'm.
portant. 1t may have indicated hostil-
ity to the idea on the part OF the con-
vention or 1t may merely have indicat-
ed thai 1t would have been difficult to
agree on a proper plank. The Pioneer
Press, though IL was the original advt-
cate In this state Of direct primaries
and though 1t has In the light OF ex-
perienee became more and more con-
vinced of the virtues OF that system as
now applied, is somewhat skeptical OF
the wisdom OF nominating state officers
by the same system. Applied TO areas
larger than congressional districts the
system would not probably have as
good results as it has had within its
present field. Tue voter In too many
cases would not have, and could not
gain from others, that close acquaint-
ance with candidates which is necessary
for judlcious selection. The effect
OF Minority nominations, CLOSED over
in conventions, might also be serious,
though they amount to nothing in the
smaller local areas.
There is no room for question, how
ever, that The present system of state
primaries are ia serious need OF re-
form. They are too easily and TOO.
often manipulated. They are too
sparsely attended by the rank and file.
They afford no way In which those who
do attend can cast an intelligent vote.
All this could be corrected by the ap-
plication of the essential principles of
the direct primary law to the selection
of delegates to the state convention or
to the county convention to choose
state delegates. Those principles are
the holding OF primary elections by all
parties at the same time and place, the
official selection OF judges and their
payment By the county, the use OF the
Australian ballot and the application
OF other safeguards of the general elec-
tlOn law, Inc NUMBER OF delegates 10
be chosen and their territorial distri-
button could we'll be left in the hands
OF the party committees; but every one
should be free to file as delegate un.
der proper safeguards but without too
great expense to himself. Conventions
so selected woul dbe more nearly rep
resentative than they are today and
would more often be deliberative.
The possible variations OF this gener-
al suggestion are numerous; and many
OF them are meritorious. The Pioneer
Press is welded to no particular
scheme. It's only desire Is for as
effectual and simple remedy for pres
ent defects as possible.-,St. Paul

a Delightful Gatherlnq

Desphe the inclement weather,
about two hundred friends In this
city responded to the invitation
which Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. III. Ryan
had issued for the celebration of their
fifth wedding anniversary at the
opera house, Monday evening, june
18th.
The opera house was beautifully
decorated with potted plants, ferns,
palms and an abundance OF cut green.
Easy chairs and oriental rugs filled
the corners OF the hall so that the
guests were very comfortable.
In pretty improvised parlor Mr.
and Mrs. Ryan received the congratu.
lations OF their friends. Mrs. Ryan
was gowned in dainty white embroi-
dered null with lace trimmings.
At $50 o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Ryan,
assisted by Miss Anna Ryan and DIR.
M. r. Hendrix, led the grand march
and opened the dancing program.
Interspersed with the dancing vas i
fine program.
The Misses Ellis, hoffman, Vining
and Bovee rendered vocal and instru.
mental solos, and Mr.. HI. A. kiner
delighted the audience with a cornet
solo; while Miss Alice Ryan and Ger
aid Sharon, with Mrs. Grill as reader,
gave "Maude Muller" in shadow
pantomime.
The northwest room OF the opera
block was used as refreshment room.
The colors here were red and white.
The snowy cloth OF the table was
covered with lunches OF ripe cherries.
A beautiful silver candelabra with
red shades upon an American Beauty
centerpiece formed the central deco
ration. Miss Kathryn French had
charge Of the refreshment room and
was assisted by Misses SWEET, Nichols,
Card, who served dainty lunch.
Mr.. l.. N. Grill, In his usual happy
manner, made the presentation OF a
fine china cabinet and an inlaid table
to the host and hostess, gifts Of their
friends. AS weapons OF defence against
each other he also added an ak and
rolling pin. Many other very beautl-
full and useful gifts were also sent to
the happy pair.
The Woods.Glenn orchestra fur
nished music the entire evening.
The lateness Of the hour at which
the guests departed was certainly in.
dicatiye of the exceptionally good
time which all enjoyed.
The Courier, with very many friends
extend their congratulations ana
hope for many returns OF the day.

this level. On the next block east
there are three or four different levels.
Suppose this should be perpetuated in
cement walks some time in the next
Two years, just as the present ups and
downs were brought about through the
preferences or supposed necessities Of
individual lot owners in the new plank
walks OF the last two years. There
can be no uniformity until the city es-
tablishes a standard aud permanent
grade and compels by ordinance every
new walk to conform to that grade.
The city should also bring the streets
up or down to this standard grade and
see that they are kept there. We be-
lieve the present time, just when so
much new work is being done or plan
ned, Is the best possible time for the
city to take hold Of this matter.

A BRYANEsQUE VIEW.

II is being whispered around the
state that il is now or never with
Crawford II be would be United States
senator. However successful the old
machine element may be in carrying
the senate, it Is certain that the next
legislature on joint ballot will be over
whelmingly Crawford legislature.
The members, when they take their
official oath, swear to support the con-
stltutiou but say nothing OF convention
pledges. Duty to constitution has at
times failed 70 hold members In line,
and the less solemn convention pledge
may prove less effective. Many per-
sons In the republican councils are
free TO express doubt OF this state be-
ing able to-withstand the later and
greater B"yan wave which seems TO be
gathering q tremendous force. II
Crawford waits two years he may re-
ceive only the empty honor of a nomi.
nation by minority party aberdeen
Democrat.

Growing chieorx.

The best soil for chicory is a limy,
sandy loan. Stony soil and clay soil
are equally unsuitable. The surface
soil should be deep and the subson
porous enough to allow the long tap
roots to penetrate foot or more. The
seed is sown about the last week OF
May. Chicory seed is fairly hardy,
more SO than corn. Just before sowing
the seed 1t is well to lightly harrow the
land to destroy young weeds. Seeds
should be sown fifteen to twenty to the
foot, requiring two to three pounds per
acre. The rows may be twelve to If
teen inches apart when the cultivation
is to be done by hand. but under horse
cultivation rows should be sixteen to
eighteen inches apart.
