DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

If the republican party in
Idaho desires to continue in
favor with the people it must
abolish by law the present con-
vention system OF party nomi-
nations. There is but one way
in which this can be done and
that is by passing a direct pri-
mary law, modelled after the
Oregon and Wisconsin primary
election laws, which provide for
the nomination Of all officers
from constable to United States
Senator directly by the people
at the primaries. Ohio, Califor-
MIA and Washington are among
the states that will pass direct
primary election laws this win
ter, thus enrolling themselves
with the many other states
where the people rule in fact as
well as in theory.
The citizens of Idaho have
been promised by the democrat
ic and republican platforms a
law that will abolish the present
convention system. The demo.
cratic and republican members
Of the next session were pledged
in advance OF election to vote
for this measure, hence it will
not be in any sense partisan but
a measure favored and demand.

Advertising
Creates Value

One Of the receivers of the National
Salt company testified in court that
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" as 1t was the brand Of
salt that brought the highest price and
had a good market.
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver. hesitating. admitted that
there was no difference; that they all
came out of the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness re-
piled:
"simply the extensive and attrac.
tive advertising the brand cot"
One thought suggested by this curl.
Gus confession Is the testimony It
bears as to the efficacy Of advertising
to create "a valuable asset" even
where. as In this-let. us hope excep-
tional-instance, the advertiser was
not quite candid about the quality of
the goods.-New York Herald.

Enlightened physicians frequently
assert that General Washington was
killed; that he was bled to death and
poisoned with calomel. Tobias Lear,
his secretary, says that after the doc
tor had bled him to the extent Of half
pint Washington interrupted with
the remark: 1.-The cash Is not big
enough; make 1t wider" And the
highly trained professional idiot pro-
ceeded to do so. Does your throat
feel any better?" asked the learned
leech. TITS very sore." murmured
Washington. When the second physi-
clan arrived Mrs. Washington tried to
stay his murderous hand by protesting
that "the general was too old a man
to stand much bleeding" "Yes, yes, y
said the mighty doctor Number Two,
'Tn be cautious in blood-letting.
And then he proceeded straight to
rob his country's Father Of a full pint
of life's most precious fluid. When the
third physician had come he rolled his
eyes solemnly and said, II will bleed
him." 1--WE both tried that" said the
other doctors. Yes, I know" an
nounced the consulting sage. 'but If
blood-letting does not relieve him I
must increase the dose Of calomel."
After the third bleeding-in which we
are not surprised to learn that WASH
ington's arm yielded its life more
slowly than 1t had before-the sore
throat continued, in spite of the last
consulting doctor, and when his wea-
ried body failed to respond to heroic
overdose OF calomel, the two consult
ing physicians retired and left Wash
ington to die. Is there any mystery
in his death?-Utica Observer.

PRESIDENT IN Retirement.
Ten Have Lived Longer Than Mr.
Cleveland After Leaving Office.

Ten Have Lived Longer Than Mr..
Cleveland After Leaving Office.
Only ten men who have held the Of
flee of president reached or surpassed
Mr.. Clevelands present age Of sixty
eight; only six exceeded 1t by so much
as ten years, and none exceeded 1t by
quite twenty years. Only ten presi-
dents have survived their retirement
from Office longer than Mr.. Cleveland,
and four Of these lived to great age.
Washington, who survived his re-
tirement less than three years, thought
himself an old man when he was first
made president, at the age Of fifty
seven. John Adams survived his re-
tirement a quarter Of a century, and
his son, John Quincy, who outlived his
retirement nearly twenty years, was the
only president who had nearly as con-
spicuous a public career after occupy
ing the presidency, as before.
Monroe's six years after his retire
ment from office were passed in COM
parative obscurity as a resident Of this
city, and his dying hours were embit-
tered by scandalous accusations In
connection with Jackson's seirzue OF
Spanish forts In Florida during the
first Seminole war.
Polk outlived his retirement less
than a year, and there is every reason
to suppose that had Arthur compassed
his ambition Of an election to the pres
idency in 1884 he would have died ear
ly in his term, for he outlived his re-
tirement less than two years.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement
twenty years, emerged from obscurity
near the end of his life to preside over
the vain Peace convention on the eve
Of the civil war. He afterward served
in the congress Of the Confederate
states.
Buchanan lived more than seven
years after his retirement, and took
the opportunity to write what was In
effect a defense of his administration.
Jefferson and Jackson were the only
presidents who exercised a really pow
erful influence over party councils af-
ter their permanent retirement from
public office, though Van Buren, was
an active politician as long as he had
hope Of denomination at the hands of
any party. .........--....
Johnson was the only retired presi-
dent to enter the United States senate,
and the youngest Adams was the only
one to serve in the house Of represen-
tatives.
Cleveland and Harrison have been
the only retired presidents to be con-
spicuously successful in private busi-
ness. 1t is not generally known that
Mr.. Cleveland still serves as consulting
counsel in law cases, in which his ex-
perience in the office of president may
be supposed to have given him special
qualifications as an adviser. His fees
in such cases are large, as were those
Of Mr.. Harrison as legal adviser and
a lecturer on constitutional law.-New
York Sun.
