A Comprehensive and Practical Pri-
mary Election Law.

It hay been the uract!nr IN nearly all OF
the southern sth'en for many years to
nominate party candidntef for state and
congressional Offices by a direct vote of
the people.
In recent years ,h!y method OF making
party nominations han gained a foothold
in Il number Of northern states and the
sentiment In its favor ~ rapidly spreading
over the entire. country. New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Michigan. Illinois, Wiscon-
ain. North Dakota. Oregon and Minnesota
have enacted laws applying the direct vote
In one form or another In the making OF
nominations.
In Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota. in
their ;,arty conventions held III 1906, both
the republican and democratic parties de-
clared In favor Of nominations by state
wide primaries. The demand for legisla-
ton of this character arises from tn.
abusca which have become intolerab bic un-
der the old caucus and convention system.
The aim OF this legislation Is to over
throw the party boss and dictator and to
shake cn the hold OF the corporation upon
the great political organizations of the
state. The great emit rpriscs of today are
carried on by artificial creations of law
known as corporations. and combinations
Of corporations. Frequently they become

to sell. as well as the prices of what the
masses must buy in order to live.
We have come to the point where they
have destroyed healthful and legitimat.
competition, and whore they stubbornly
resist ali attempts upon the part of the
law making power to check abuses OF
which they are guilty. or to place them
under regulation and control. They enter
the field of politics for the purposes of
controlling the declarations Of political
platforms and the selection of candidates
for public office and by many and divers
ways. use their vast power to corrupt the
action of public officials. This is a mat
ter Of common knowledge. They usurp
the right Of choice belonging to the aver

of those is the fact tina the tax as

sonal o.tuuo left by Russell sege at
S50.0no.000 This Is easily the big
gest iLcifidrDl personal tax ever re-
corded in the city's books. Sage. In
his life time. was assessed at So
100000. Mrs. Sage. to whom was
left practically all of the Sage for
tune, is assessed on $4,000. zoo In her
own name. N these two statements
stand. Mrs. Sage will have to draw
her check in favor OF the city treas
ury for something like $4,000.
Lawson Purdy, president of the
the valuation OF 100000 900 put up
on the personal part of the Sage
estate was made up from the data
furni~Sed by the administrators in
connection with the will.
Mr.. Sage's fortune was different
from that OF almost any other rich
man in New York city consisting
chiefly of cash. notes and other prop
erty, which Is taxable under the head
OF personality. Fortunes like those of
Mr.. Rockefeller, the anderbilts, the
Goulde, and others are largely In
stocks and other property which is
taxed In another form and conse-
quently, does not appear in the Of
fetal rating OF personal fortunes.

Change the Man.

The Rev DR.. Macarthur is just as conf
dent as Mr. Rockefeller that the Standard
Oil Company was convicted on a technical
ity in the Alton rebate cases-New York
World
1t is good deal worse. however, to be
convicted on techuicality than ac-
quilted.
The State of Maryland, for instance,
is technically guilty of INSTRUMENTATION
to the railroad rule which locates its
great coal region forty miles north and
over one hundred miles west of its place
on the map.
In other words, the Georges Creek
coal region is technically in Pennsylva-
MIA on the one side, and West Virginia
on the other.
A Legislature in or about 1926 fixed it
this way, it is said, and the surrender is
one of those which is technically beyond
recall.
Instead of being insurgent therefore,
the State should not kick.
Moreover, it should play honestly with
its school-children and change the maps
to suit the technically one half with
the region in Pennsylvania, other half
with it in West Virginia.

improvements Under DurcSS.

Along about two squares on Washing
ton street, both sides, the work of laying
new side walks and cutters looks like
business.
The sidewalks, mostly BRICK, are
thanked by pretty cement cutters and
curbs.
The town is imposing considerable eX-
pense upon these property-Owners, and
it seems pity that they will not own
the walks after they are done.
But contiscation doesn't stop there.
Some day town will want to pave the
streets also, and these same property
owners, under Bourbon imperialism,
will be required to pay one-third of that
expense.

\ Surprising Plea.

The Baltimore NcWS wants Gather
elected because
/, Baltimore city needs him, and
2, Because he knows the needs of the
city.
For the same reasons Cecil county
could with the same propriety appeal to
the people of the State to elect Crothers.
When we reflect that Baltimore city
has no more claim upon the State for
favors than the counties, the Neirs' APP
peal to the people in the city behalf is
one of the weakest ever made i'll the in
terest of any candidate or nominee.
Without detracting, therefore, from
Mr. Gathers merits otherwise, the
claim that he is wanted in Baltimore
most for Baltimore promotion, an object
that cannot be obtained without expense
to the counties, is the leading surprise
of the campaign-leading because he
allows it to be urged.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Gossip.

1t is said that 1.-THE saloon element"
opposed to high license" will "cut"
Gen. Joseph Sprigg, democrat, and sup
port David E. Dick, editor of the anti
Pearre Republican, In the latter's
printed platform, however, there is no
mention of his attitude toward the
saloon question, nor of how he feels in
the matter Of modifying the Sunday
law, nor yet of what he will do, if any
thing, with Mr.. Stump's free-trade dog
law.
On the other hand, many working
men-republicans, are expected to sup
port Sprigg and w. j. Ford, democrats,
on the ground that the latter, knowing
what is wanted in labor legislation, may
have the backing of a good lawyer to
put it in shape.
The Anti Saloon League of the State
announces that it has sent out to repub-
hcan and democratic party nominees
questions concerning their positions on
"home rule" for the liquor business.
The replies to this will make interesting
reading to all parties.
In Baltimore the Saloon League has
sent to legislative nominees questions
concerning their attitude toward high
license, etc, and the same inquisition, it
is expected, will be laid on the county
nominees.
1t takes campaign to bring out party
paper wits. The Cumberland Times
labels Whitworth and Whiting as the
William Willies;" marbles" not
politics, their game" and the still "un-
kissed" The NeCS comes back with all
the innuendo there is in "the twilight
