For a Primary Law.

A state primary law should be passed
IN Colorado, and will be in due time.
There are many people who complain of
the caucus system, whereby all the work
of nominations is practically performed.
The voters who do not attend the caucus
find that they have lost chance to say
who shall be nominated for any Office.
A primary law permits the voters to say
by vote at the polls before election who
shall be the party nominee for any office,
and it also permits any would-be candi-
date to go before the voters and take his
chances of nomination on his merits
and standing, and prohibits the naming
of a ticket by few politicians. When
the primary election is over, the people
at large know who their candidates are
and also know that they have been Sc
lected by the majority of people them
selves. Wherever this system is in use,
the best of satisfaction is given, and
once adopted the people will not go back
to the old caucus, close corporation sys-
TEN. This system will relieve our poll
tics OF most of its present bad features
and it will be simply square deal

is A LAND OF PROMISE
The Divide Country, and Ebert Lo-
cality in Particular, an Exhaust
less Agricultural Region.

There are many people in this country
who do not pay enough attention to their
surroundings to be able to judge intelli-
gently of the possibilities of this country.
Many are aware that the soil is a volcan-
ic ash, and very easy of cultivation, but
they may not stop to consider that the
soil of Italy, one of the Oldest cultivated
countries on the globe, is of the same
nature. And that the soil of that coun-
try is raising better crops today than it
did thousand years ago. The eastern
farmer will laugh at this idea, but it is
nevertheless true. Experiments in Col
orado apparently bear out the theory,
too. One of the largest individual wheat
raisers of the Divide, who has been rails
ing wheat in this county upwards of ID
years, says that his oldest land is raising
the best and biggest crops of wheat and
has not been fertiliZed, except by natur-
al means. When these things are all
taken into consideration it is easy to un-
derstand that our country has passed
through the worst-the experimental
stage and that from now on to the end
of our natural lives we may expect better
crops and more of them with proper cul-
tivation. There are many who scoff at
the idea that an older cultivated soil
without any fertilization is better than
a new one. But where there is the kind
of soil which predominates here and it is
from three to 20 feet in depth, as is
found in this locality, there is absolutely
no wear out to it. or course there will
be weeds to contend with, and the lying
idle for year at times will assist
the soil to absorb the crop making
chemicals from the atmosphere, but we
have soil which will practically never
wear out. The Elbert region is only in
iss infancy. Not half of its ultimate
progress has ever been dreamed of by
the most enthusiastic husbandman.

What a Mortgage Does.

The mortgage is self supporting in
stitution, says an exchange. 1t always
holds its own. 1t calls for just as many
dollars when grain is cheap as when
grain is dear. 1t is not drowned out by
heavy rains. 1t never winter kills. Late
springs and heavy frosts never trouble it.
Potato bugs do not disturb it. 1t grows
nights, Sundays, rainy days and even
holidays. 1t brings sure crop every
year 1t produces cash every tune. 1t
does not have to wait for the market to
advance. 1t is not subject to specula-
tions of the bulls and bears of the board
of trade. 1t is a load that gals and frets
and chafes.
1t is a burden that the farmer can't
shake off. 1t is with him morning, noon
and night. 1t eats with him at the
table. 1t gets under his pillow when he
sleeps. 1t rides upon his shoulder dur:
ing the day. 1t consumes his grain
crops 1t devours his cattle. 1t selects
the finest horses and the fattest steers.
1t lives upon the first fruit of the season.
1t stalks into the dairy where the busy
housewife tolls day after day and month
after month, and takes the choicest and
incest butter. 1t shares the children Is
bread and robs them of their clothes.
1t stoops the toiler's back with remorse-
less burdens of care. 1t hardens his
hands, benumbs his intellect premature
ly, whitens his locks, and often sends him
and his good wife over the hills to the
poor house. 1t is the inexorable and ex-
acting task master. Its whip is as mer
ciless and cruel as the lash of the slave
driver. 1t is menance to liberty, a him
drance to progress, curse to the world.

Before we sympathise with others we

can realize the suffering attendant upon
an attack of the grip, unless he has had
the actual experience. There is probab-

cessfully defies medical aid. All danger
from the grip, however, may be avoided

has resulted in pneumonia or that has
not recovered. For sale by Fred Long.
