DIRECT NOMINATIONS.
4 Reform That Can Only he Secured
Through the Referendum.

4 Reform That Can Only Ne Secured
Through the Referendum.
Direct nomination of candidates for
public office is reform that every one
but the party bosses and their follow
ers. the party machine politicians, be-
licves in. Yet In only two northern
states, Minnesota and Wisconsin, has it
been forced upon the politicians by the
people. In most of the southern states,
however, there is a direct vote at the
primaries for candidates, and in South
Carolina and Virginia United States
senator's are also nominated BY popular
vote by instructing the legislatures OF
those states who are to be elected. The
Democratic party Of Alabama has or
dered that at the next primaries the
legislature of that state be instructed
as to who are the choice OF the people
to represent that state in the unitad
States senate when the next vacancies
occur.
There is not much doubt that every
state in the Union would have direct
nomination law IL the people had tho
right of direct initiative, and that adds
another argument for what has often
been declared that the referendum sys-
tenn, OF which the direct initiative Is q
most important part, is the first and
most necessary reform to secure, for
with that power the majority OF the
voters cap force all reform legislation.
But IL must be remembered that the
voters often make mistakes in voting
for men, for. unfortunately. poor hui
man nature is liable 10 error, and some
times the supposedly upright man
proves worthless as legislator or
succumbs to the voice Of the tempter.
How many. many times have the PEG
pie been disappointed in the acts OF
their representatives! So direct nomi-
nations are not an infallible cure for
political Ills.
There Is, however, in the referendum
system check on the representatives
Of the people which gives per cent OF
the voters an option Of calling for a
referendum vote on legislation, and
then the majority OF tho people can
veto or approve the legislative act.
With the optional referendum and the
direct initiative the people can have
just the laws the majority desire, even
II their representatives are not above
reproach or lack in wisdom. But the
referendum system does more than
give the people the veto power ard the
right to initiate laws their representa-
tiyes neglect or refuse TO enact, for
experience shows that ccrrupting and
influencing legislators are but time and
money expended for nothing, for but
seldom can a vicious law run the
gauntlet OF tie opposition 1t naturally
inspires and escape being vetoed by
the people. Thus under the referen-
DUN system corrupt men no longer
aspire to be lawmakers, for their graft
ing opportunities are banished through
the benencent reform in Iawmahing

citizens to join together In nonpar-

workmen Armed With Mausers.

st. Petersburg, June 11.-There is a
noticeable increase in Revolutionary ae-
tivity at Moscow, and it is evident that
the leaders are preparing TO take adj
vantage of the first opportunity to start
an armed uprising The workmen of
the factories and mills are being system
aticaIly armed with Mauser rifles and
drilled under the supervision of army
reserve soldiers. Revolutionary meet
ings are held nightly in the industrial
sections. The leaders evidently hope for
a complete rupture between the govern
ment and Parliament, which would fur
nish the necessary opportunity for an
uprising.

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE

THE
The spirit Of cooperation in these matters between
churches has been great In many
counties have organized for the purpose of eecg
clean men, not only to the state legislature but to other
Offices WE'LL and believe the people fast catch
ing the spirit that the best Of law enforcement is
the creation of such local sentiment will elect officials
who will enforce the law.
One of the principal might say the principal bar
rer to law enforcement work at the time is the
mwingness Of states attorneys to prosecute liquor
with any degree Of vgor and earnestness In the
future the friends Of temperance work should cooperate
in county elections with this office especially in mind,
for when this servant of the law learns to respect the
power of the church vote he today respects the
loon VOTE it will be great advance in the direction of
clean government.
Campaign for Primaries
The League has done splendid work in the campaign
for what they expected to be spring primary. More
intensive work done than before, and had the
Supreme Court Of the state not declared the former

League would have several marked victories
throughout the state but the expected happened and

August We still expecting to win victories at the
polls whether we shall be able to retain throughout
the conventions which follow is another matter.

 It is said that the scope of the in vestigations Of the meat business has been greatly enlarged. It is now sought not only to show whether the meat men have obtained absolute con trol of the meat and stock buying bus mess of the valley, but whether or not they. have combined with the Swift and Cudahy companies of Los Angeles to keep down the price of stock here.
 It has been charged that such an ar rangement has been made and that the California buyers will not pay more for cattle than the local buyers. though they pay more everywhere else. It is further charged that according to this arrangement California houses divide with the local buyers the difference be- tween the prices paid here and what they would have to pay if such com binatiOn did not exist.
 It could not be learned yesterday that any evidence in support of this charge had been secured. If that fact can be established. the information will un- doubtedly be used in a prosecution of the California companies.

The Government Is Having no Trouble Now in Securing Evidence Regard
 ing the Alleged Local Combinations.

The United States grand jury will probably submit a report today con taining the result of it's investigation of the alleged combinations in restraint of trade, including the lumber, ice and meat interests of the valley
 The only official development in the investigation yesterday was the issu- ance of an attachment against T. w. Chamberlain of the Chamberlain Lum- Der company. for contempt in absent ing himself from the hearings or the grand jury. Mr. Chamberlain was brought in and gave d satisfactory ex- planation. He was discharged at the cost of the government. MT. Chamber lain said that he had been before the grand jury the afternoon before, and he was led to believe that he was re- quired no longer.
 The grand jury proceedings were transferred from the court house to the O'Neill building. 4 great many wit nesses were examined in the course or the day. From the character Of the witnesses it appeared that all of the alleged combinations were under inves- tigatiOn. There is no trouble now in securing the attendance of witnesses connected with the alleged trusts. They were about the grand jury headquar- ters willing and even anxious to be called, either for the purpose of put ting their various industries in the proper light or for the purpose or
