When Will be the Primary?

There is a general getting busy in political lines.
 The question now is, "what about the primary"
 Many of the candidates are favor ing an early primary-some time the latter part of January.
 To the ARGUS man, it looks that it would be better 10 have oniy one prlmary-the county and state to- gether
 Another much discussed question is that barring the use of whiskey in the campaign. Each and every can didate you talk to favors such step, and believe that nearly everyone of them are in earnest about it. This question should come up at the Gen. tral Committee meeting and there should be firm, strong action against it, one that will bind and put down and out any candidate who will en- gage in such filthy, dishonorable methods of electioneerng.

An Erroneous Report.

The report that w. Hix Mallofy, the Prince of smoke makers who ha, been making all Eastern Arkar sn ell of the smoke of the celebra Eselco for some months. had quit road to accept an appointment by President Roosevelt is correct 0. in part.
 Mir. Mallory resigned his place wi the Tom Morton Tobacco Go. O. lst. For the past several weeks \ Mallory has been engaged in persf al visit to every tobacco manufact in the United States. At :present is in the Kentucky territory. It said that his declining to accept Government position offered him President Roosevelt is because of disinclination to give up his place the Eselco people.

MISLEADING ESTIMATES.
Why Municipal Lighting Plants Gen. orally Cost More Than Expected.

It is most unusual for municipal lighting plant to be erected at cost that comes anywhere near the esh- mate presented to the city officials. Tn some cases these officials are directly to blame for accepting the estimates of representatives of manufacturing companies, who are, of coursc, more anxious to make sale than to protect the citizens from ultimate disappoint- ment. When an electrical engineer is called upon for an estimate it might seem as though the council had done It's full duty, but unfortunately. fin some cases at least, the temptation to secure percentage on the coastruc- tion cost i3 great enough to overcome professional honor, and estimates gro submitted which gre absolutely made auate. The only remedy for thls world seem to be to obtain aa Independent estimate from consulting engineer who would have no further interest ia the matter.
 Perhaps, however, the most common cause for disappointment is due to tho fact that engineers IT estimating cost fail to take into consideration what ought to be well known by this time that cities cannot, as q rule. construct plants at as low figures as private companies can. This Is due partly to the fnexperlence of city officials, which is taken advantage of h many cnccs. and also to the fact that the large amount of rcd tape which seems to he q necessary feature Of such contracts has to be allowed for by bidders. It Is therefore perfectly possible that au estimate for a municipal plant may be | exceeded by 90 per cent when il would 1 be an adequate one If the construction l were to be undertaken by private 1 This Is q feature of inunic- 1 ipaI ownership which has not been l heretofore given the consideration that i It deserves.

Under the new con- tract the city will get practically twice the amount of street lighting that was furnished by the municipal plant at only 10 per cent greater cost. The sale met with the unanimous approval of the mayor and city council, as the plant had not been success. One account of it says:
 ''Its management was changed as often as new political cIiques gained power, and at times there was no street illumination at all. The commercial service was inferior"

There died iu Washington, D. C., this week one Of the truest heroes developed by the spanish-Amsrlcau war, yet be made himself not the target Oi hostile bullets, but Of the deadly yellow fever mosquito. This heroic character wss Major James Car roll, surgeon oi the '. s. A, who was a member of the commission sent to Cuba inst after the close of the war to study yellow fever. The fever was the scourge ot the fair island and the dead lY menace Of the American troops remaining stationed there. It was bis commission that solved the mystery of the spread Of the infection and fixed upon the mosquito as the medium Of transmission Of infection. It was maiuly due 10 Dr. CsrrOl's self-sacri- fee that this most important scientific discovery was determined. He allowed himself Co be bitten by a mosquito in- IscLed with the terrible disease and and was taken i'll with the fever with in four days after The high quality of courage that would lead man to undergo such an experiment, in which lhe proof of his theory meant his own seizure with the usually fatal malsdy, cannot be oyerestimated. Dr. Carroll recovered from the attack, but hls recent death was the result of his work there. The discovery of the mosquito as the source of spreading infection has been of inestimable benefit to medical science and fe7sr-afiicted com, munities in the islands and the South, and this knowledge permitted the prompt stamping out of the fearful contagon in New Orleans and neigh boring districts a few years ago when 8 wholesale war on the mosquitoes quickly sllsvisssd the alarming situ- aIiOR and soon stamped out the disease which threatened to raVage The South, ern states.
