NEW PRIMARY LAW A SUCCESS.

In its first trial in Spokane Tues
day the new state primary law prov.
ed by its practical workings that Ii
will accomplish the results claimed
for it by its championships elimi-
nation of combinations and trades
between candidates for nomination
and the selection of candidates whose
nomination is desired by the voters
participating in the primary of their
party. II has proved that the voters
are willing to place their confidence
in those candidates who place the
greatest confidence in them. those
candidates who go before them on
merit with a frank, sincere declara-
lion of principles and policies.
In its workings at the polls the
law, while at first appearing compli-
Gated and bunglesome, proved to be
extremely simple and the great ma
1ority of voters entered into the
spirit of it, grasped readily its re-
quirements and complied with them
without complaint or protest.
In those instances where but one
candidate was proposed for nominal
ton and no choice was possible, some
undesirable candidates were nomi-
mated. but this is not in any sense
a fault of the law. 1t was due to
the failure of more desirable candi-
dates to appreciate the possibilities
and workings of the law in time to
propose themselves as candidates for
nomination under it.
After the experience it is more
than probable that the voters of both
parties will be offered full lists of
more desirable candidates to select
from than We're offered them Tues
day in a few instances, especially on
The Daggett ticket.
The candidates who were nominal
ed enter the campaign for the cleo
ton with the satisfaction of know

instances and the acquiescence in all

Beautifully Decorated.
The rooms Of the library were
beautifully decorated with ported
plants, carnations and fruit blossoms.
While the people were inspecting the
building Nagler's orchestra rendered
several selections.
During the evening H. P. James,
president of the board, turned the
keys Of the building over to Mayor
Fechter and made a few fitting re-
marks. In accepting the keys the
mayor gave a short talk.
The library building was built at
a cost of $4,000 and was con-
structed by A. F. Switzer. It is To-
Gated at A and Third streets. The
city council has provided for the
maintenance of the building.
1t was about four years ago that
North Yakima started it's efforts to
secure free public library, and it
was mainly through the efforts of
Rev. Bartlett, who delivered the ad-
dress, that the Carnegie fund was
secured.
The board of trustees, composed
of H. P. James, president; Mrs. W.
w. Robertson, secretary; J. J. Rud-
kin, F. c. Hall, N. V. Campbell Su-
perintendent D. C. Reed and Bessie
c. Hall, librarian, have worked un-
tireingly to make the library a sue
cess, and with the opening of the
building to the public this morning
their efforts have been crowned with
success.

WASTE WATER.
Claimed That Carelessness Is Again
Displayed.

Many complaints have been heard
upon the streets to the effect that
people are careless with irrigation of
lawns as we'll as in the country and
that water overflows into the streets,
causing much annoyance. In many
cases the overflow water Is disagree
able, and people state it is up to tho
street commissioners to get busy.
Out in the country, road supervisors
have the power to see that the over
flow from bitches is stopped up, but
in many places this is not done, and
consequently the muddy road. with
water in some cases several inches

TALL TALK"

W. c. Myers, a North Yakima
contractor, is reported to have made
some very radical remarks at a
meeting over which he presided to
oppose the plan to have convicts
from the state penitentiary improve
the state fair grounds. 81 have 1000
men back Of me-" this man is quoted.
Sin the position l have taken, and
they are ready to follow my COM
mand to rid the community of the
first gang of convicts brought here
to cheat the laborers out of earning
their bread. We won't stand for it,
and l now give Governor Mead time
ly warning not to attempt to send
convicts here for any purpose" says
the Tacoma Ledger.
Now that is either very "tall talk"
or very dangerous, and perhaps both.
1t sounds like the froward frothings
of those who are using letter-heads
saying death shall not come to "our
brothers Meyer and Hay
wood, charged with the murder of
former Governor Steunenberg of Ida
no.
The state of Washington has 4
constitution and laws and is gov
erened by duly elected authorities,
sworn to enforce them. There is no
need whatever of mob rule as pro-
posed by the mischievous Myers.
If the state has the right to work
convicts on state work, such as i'm
proving the fair grounds, and
chooses to exercise it, the militia
should be employed, if necessary.
1t will not do to have man like
Myers pop up and defy the whole
authority of the state If the state
IS justified in permitting convicts to
do any kind of work, the least pos.
sible objection can be raised reason
ably against doing work for the state
itself.
Convicts must have work Of some
kind. Would Myers drive them in
sane from idleness? 1t has been
fully established that insanity be-
comes common among convicts that
have nothing to do. Convicts are
still human beings. 1t is the pur-
pose of the law to reform as we'll as
punish. They are not all irreclaima-
BILE outcasts. This man Myers, who
advises violence and says he has
/ 900 men back of him-is he in
position to look down scornfully up
on the men who have carried out
threats similar to those he is report
ed as making?
Let him and his followers pro-
coed lawfully. If the state has the
right to work men on the fair
grounds and Myers thinks it bad
policy for the state to exercise that
right, let him present his arguments
to the governor and state board of
control. If the state has not the
right to wo k coavicts on such state
work and attempts to proceed any
how, let Myers and his followers go
into the courts, if necessary, to pre-
vent it. Washington can get along
mob rule.

be done. 1t seems that there has
been enough caution exercised. The
council chamber has been flowing
over with caution about paving mat
tiers for a number of meetings, but
the streets still remain unpaved.

Debates Held in the State.

North Yakima will not compete in
the state debates this year. Last
evening throughout the state there
were Is school debates held. North
Yakima was billed for debate with
Ellensburg in this city but the local

state debates this year and will prob
ably hold some with the valley
schools.
The debates, eighteen in number,
were at various points about the
state. The state department of edu-
cation has charge of the contests.
The nineteen winners will be match
ed for contests on January II, and
the winners then rematched, until the
championship is decided.
The question which will be debated
in eighteen places is: Resolved,
That the state of Washington should
adopt the initiative and referendum
as stated in section l of article of
the constitution of the tate of Ore
gon."
The following are the schools that
contested and the places where the
debates were held There were three
members of each debating team:
Lincoln high school at Mount YER
non; La Conner at Anacortes; Sedro.
Woolley at Arlington; Snohomish at
Everett: Seattle seminary at Port
Townsend Ballard at Washington
high school; Auburn at Kent; Whit
worth college academy at Puyallup;

Contractor James Gibson has
notified the building committee that
he is unable to continue with the
construction of the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing as he has no funds to continue
the work with and the work has
ceased as he has also that on the
Lincoln and high schools. The Y
M. c. A. have taken their difficulties
up with the bonding company who
was security for Mr.. Gibson and II
Is probable they will arrange for
the completion of the building. AT
meeting of the school board Tues
day night arrangements were made
whereby the Lincoln building would
be pushed to completion at the
earliest possible moment, and it is
more than probable that if men can
be secured the work will start
Thursday.
