UNITY OF INTERESTS.
Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.

Live and let live." is q policy that
has come down through the ages and
is an expression Of the Golden Rule
only in different words. There is in
born in man desire for self-preserva-
tion. 1t is law Of life. and to this
desire can be attributed that which is
considered selfishness within us. Saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties OF others. He
lacks the sense OF equity and justice
and is guided solely by the brutal in
stincts. Intelligent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris.
tian spirit is found. there can be look.
ed for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain livelihood and
to enjoy the products OF their labor.
There should be the greatest har-
mony among the citizens of every
community. The interest of all the
classes comprising a city or district
should be considered Identical. 1t has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort of all the
people composing 1t. In these days
Wien there are evils to combat. when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors In unequal distribution of wealth,
1t Is all important that the masses in
each and every community unite and
work in harmony for the protection
and betterment OF local conditions. 1t
1t to be regretted that in many agri-
cultural communities there is a lack
OF harmony between what is called
the business interests and the produc.
ers Of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for this condition. but the
most common cause is a misunder.
standing on the part Of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex.
list between them. 1t is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests are different from
those Of the merchant, or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers OF the community. 1t
Is also an erroneous idea that the
town Is alone for the townspeople
and the country districts for the farm.
er. IL II not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And 1t is equally true that
the town IL an important thing to tho

CHANCE FOR DIRECT PRIMARY.

Since the state Legislature has apparently freed Itself
from the Plunderbund domination the way ought to be
open for the passage of effective primary law Its
adoption would sound the death knes of the political
bosses and political charlatans.
most recent example of the results following the
enactment of direct primary law is to be in the
of the state of Wisconsin, which went under the
system last year.
Two congressmen-Mnor and Babcock-who
generally suspected of betrayng the interests of the peo
pie defeated in the direct primaries, when under
binary circumstances they would undoubtedly have been
renomnated had the old machine methods been opera
tOn
The primary election system really gives the people
two chances to defeat candidate for official place. the
first being in the party primary itself, and the second in
the election should he escape primary defeat
The bill proposed by by the primary league in this
state provides for effective law than the
in Wisconsin. The law of the Badger state does not
provide for the nomination of United States senator's by
the direct primary does it prohibit lavish expenditure
of money to political nominations In Washing
ton both of these matters provided for in the pending
direct primary bill.
The present legislature leave no better monument
to its work than effective primary law which will put
the reins of election control in the hands of the people
for all time to come.
