stumbling block in the amicable set

A second frnitless conference was

ELECTION REFORM.

Whatever Is enacted In the form Of
law by legislature may be repealed
by the same or succeeding legis-
lature. But what is incorporated into
a constitution can be repealed only by
the people-Black' handbook OF con-
stitutional law.
The primary election law Of Wis
consin was adopted by both legisla-
lative enactment and vote OF the
people. How can II properly be
repealed or amended? Already bills
have been introduced to change It's
provisions. One legislator, eager to
try his prentice hand in tinkerIng the
measure, proposes to disturb The
alphabetical arrangement Of names on
the primary ballot; and numerous
other attempts at patching the law
are expected to develop. But 1t Is to
be hoped that they will be defeated.
The substitution Of the primary law
for the old caucus and convention
system was, TO say the least, very
doubtful experiment. A majority
voted for the change because they be-
lieved that 1t would place the elections
In the hands OF the people. One trial
has not proved this CO ltention. In
stead, there has arisen a grave doubt
whether the Offices have NOT been
turned over to those who can find the
money to pay for them. Either re-
peal the law, or give IL another trial
without disAguration
Fifteen years Of experience with the
blanket ballot, however, has demon
strated that the straight party ticket
square, or circle, is an unmitlgated
evil. To the adjustment of this
evil, and to the adoption of what il
known as the massachusetts ballot,
the legislators Of Wisconsin, in senate
and assembly assembled should direct
their efforts.

Canadian Prosperity.

Cincinnati Enquirer: While it Ia II
natural that we should be very much
absorbed in our own prosperity, 1t is
well to keep informed of what Is going
on about us. IL Is the fashion to at
tribute the exceptional conditions pre-
vailing here, to the tariff, the super
nal wisdom of the republican party or
to some very special cause bringing
great prosperity to this country, such
as succession Of bumper crops; but
IL IL also true that there Is AT present
an era of good times which seems to
have spread and TO be spreading all
over the world. We hear its echoes
from every quarter, Great Britain,
Germany, France, the East, and from
nowhere with more ringing and conf
dent note than across our northern
border, Canadian foreign trade for
the year ending June 30 was 1862 900
600, an increase of nearly 1872 900, 600
over the previous year. Imports in.
creased about S2S 900 900 and exports
more than IA 900 900. The largest
increase in exports was In farm pro.
ducts, 1927 900, 900; forests aud fisheries
showed S5 200, 900 each, aud manufac
lures, 30 100000 This is n great
commerce for II country with less pop
ulation than the state of New York.

FUTILE MEMORIAL.

Bishop Sylvester Tuttles work in
Idaho is to be contemplated by me-
mortal building in Boise. the work on
which has already begun. Bishop Tut
tie came west forty years ago and for
twenty years was the bishop of the
Episcopal church for Idaho. Utah and
Wyoming. Now hale and hearty at
the age of seventy. he is bishop of Mis-
souri, and is also president of the House
of Bishops of the United States. Bishop
Funston, of Idaho, conceived the idea
ef the memorial building and the plan
was submitted to the Episcopal people
of the country with the result that
ample funds We're quickly subscribed to
erect the structure. The new building
will be constructed of stone and will
cost with its Furnishings about $4,000.
Bishop Funsten's idea is entirely adj
mirable as was shown by the prompt
response TO his appeal for funds with
which to carry it into execution. Too
often the work of those who devote
their lives to the uplifting of their fell
low men is forgotten: honors there are
! in abundance for the martial hero, for
| the merchant prince, for the financier
and for the successful politician. but
for the man VINO devotes his life to the
service of. his brother in preference to
exploitation of him, all too seldom does
grateful humanity erect a monument,
either in life or after his departure.

conditions at the time of the contest
are as nearly perfect as can be found in
