The New Primary Law.

The primary bill which passed the
legislature this week is a makeshift
and misft but weak as it is the peo-
pie will accept it and try TO get out of
il more than the politicians want them
| TO have
II might be entitled AN act TO per
petuate the power OF politicians and
keep the people in the background
II preserves the delegate and conven-
ton and thus reserves 10 the bosses
the power to dicker and trade. but it
does permit of roll call.
The people wanted a plain and sim
pie direct primary bill and Governor
Deneen urged that such Il law be
passed. But the politicians refused TO
surrender an iota of their power and
the governor and other real friends of
genuine primary reform took the best
they could get. 1t isn't much, bur is
better than nothing.
Under the bill all candidates for
elective state and county offices. clerks
of appellate courts. representatives in
the general assembly, representatives
in congress. members of state board
of equalization shall be nominated in a
convention. the delegates TO which are
TO be chosen at primaries and shall
vote for such candidates as have re-
ceived a plurality of the votes cast.
The delegates however may vote for
these candidates not more than one
ballot. which makes the primary sub
terfuge.
1t will be seen that the delegates are
as powerful as ever. They are obi
gated to vote only once for the peo-
pies choice and the average delegate
can put up enough jobs to prevent
nomination on the first ballot.
Weak and impotent as is the law it
at least legalizes primaries, thus min
imizing fraudulent voting and compels
all parties 70 hold primaries on the
same day For this little the people
will be thankful.
Meantime the people are to be con-
graduated that any sort of primary
election bill has passed as the politi-
clans in the legislature were seeking
an end of the session leaving the mat
ter untouched.

which we venture to sum up in the fol
lowing terms:
l. We have passed out of the era of
Industrial individualism and unrestrict
ed competition into that of industrial
combination which inevitably tends TO
industrial monopoly.
2. Such monopoly is inconsistent
with human liberty. and not TO be en-
dured by a free people.
o. The first step toward ultimate
remedy is bringing such monOpolistic
combinations. wherever they exist and
however they have been produced. un-
der the control of greater combina-
tion-that of all the people acting
through their government.
L. Whatever dangers to the indivi-
dual may be threatened by such con-
troll are amply guarded against by
maintaining the integrity the author
ity and the independence of the judic-
larry as a protection of the rights OF
person and property.
>. But ii is not Inconsistent with
those heights for the government tn
maintain its ownership of the common
wealth-as the oil and the minerals in

not such ownership il is not at all i'm
possible thar il may find a way TO ac-
quire it. without disregard of private
rights. whenever the public welfare

The Best Guaranty Of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DIR. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great iaDo,
ratorv at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. rms TACT
alone places DR.. Plerce's Famlly Medl-
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them 10
their patients. They. know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the
great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
aFavorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, OF proper
strength, is q better solvent and preserv-
alive Of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medl-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further.
more, that it possesses valua BILE medicinal
properties of it's own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efhclent
antiferment.
Neither OF the ABOVE medlcineS CON
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think OF using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the com
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's OF the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

many diseases. Ours the cause and you
cure the disease. One uPellet" is gentle

gists sell them, and nothing is "just as

A Disputed Boundary.

The supreme court referred the case of
Calvin W. Sprague, appellant from the de
cree of the county commissioners, to E. H.
Greeley of Eden, Joseph S. Mullin of Lin
colnville and Perry Richardson of fremont.
In the fall of 1905 the county commissioners,
on petition, defined the bounds of the high
way in Stockton Springs, a part of which is
in front of the appellants store, formerly
the b. NJ. Roberts place. The store stands
a little back from the street, has platform
in front and the remainder of the lot, if any,
has been used by the public for many years.
Mr.. Sprague claims that the line as run by
the commissioners is too near his store by
about five feet at one corner and a little less
at the other.

CARE OF MILK AND CREAM.
What Waldo County Farmers Say of 1t.
Correspondence Board of Agricultural

THoRND1KE. In handling milk for
the retail trade | found the aerator the
best thing to cool the milk, and it would
keep sweet the longest, and would have
no bitter taste or flavor. / never use
any soap in washing milk cans, but use
Sal-soda. Soap leaves a bad smell IN
the cans. After the cans are washed
and scalded let them stand right end
up until cool, then turn bottom up to
drain. Ii warm can or pail is turned
bottom up the steam will stay in and
dry in and the can will not be so sweet
as if treated the other way. The cows
are kept clean, tie-up floor swept three
or four times day, no cObwebs allow
ed in it; cribs kept clean, and barn floor
swept at least once every day. Milk Is
a ready carrier of disease germs and so
fertile a breeder OF bacteria that one
cannot be too careful in its care. L
think the next generation will see Tar
greater restrictions placed upon the
care and handling OF our cows, milk
and cream, than we have atthe present
time, and it will be better for both pro-
ducer and consumer.-C. E. Smith.
BELFAST. The farmer who is keep
ing his cows in reasonably clean quar-
tiers and giving them reasonably clean
care and food, and who mllks IN rea-
sonably clean clothes and takes aver
age care of the milk and cream is dong
all he can get pay for at average mar
ket prices for milk, cream and butter.
Ii the consumer wants a better aftlcle
he must consent to pay better price.
Ventilate by giving the cows fresh ar
at their heads where they can use 1t.
Keep utensils sweet by 1udlclous use
of water both hot and cold. Strain
through cloth of sufficient thickness to
remove any possible dirt. Cool as
quickly as possible and deliver often
enough to be sure of a sweet article.
More than this is not necessary nor
profitable. As rule, farmers are now
producing good milk and cream,-E. &.
Dow.

In an article on Commercial Panics
Past and Future" in the October AT
lantic, Alexander D. Noyes makes the
point that the actual germs of a panic
are to be looked for in certain of the
conditions that attend wave of pros
perity. If this is true, then there is an
especial timeliness in making such an in
financial editor of the Evening Post
''the financial mans newspaper" there
is some reason to believe that he knows
whereof he speaks. At all events, his
article is sure TO attract the attention
of intelligent business men everywhere.
Mr.. Noyes shows exactly what the steps
are which in the past have led up to
financial crises like those of 81, '73,
and '93, and then he brings out the
parallel, and it is startling one. He
does not make prophecies; but he utters
a warning. Whether or not panics can
be prevented, it is at least certain that
precautions may and should be taken
which will greatly lessen their severity

Answer to The Leopard's Spots. I"
This new book is called "Yarb and
Cretine." 1t is written by Dr.. George
B. H. SwayZe, who takes view point
that is Numerically opposite that of
the Rev. Thomas Dixon in his THE
Leopard's Spots" 1t will be interest
ing to compare the books of these two
men, the one clergyman the other a
| physician. The question which they
both seek to solve is vital one and an
always interesting one, as well. 1t
would be quite natural to expect that
the man of God would take asomewhat
more gentle, more lenient, view of the
| question than would the man of medi-
cine, but the readers of "Yarb and Gre
tine" will assert quite to the contrary.
DR.. SWayze has written with sympa-
thy and federation which was totally
lacking in the Rev. Mr.. Dixon's book.
