A contributor to a recent num-
ber CT Leslie's Weekly asserts that
there are two political parties III
the l Cnited States now moving on
towards sociaiistic form of gov
eminent. the so called Sucialistic
party and the Republican party.
The former party is proceeding in a
radical way and demands the seiz-
ure of the machinery of production
for the welfare OF the producers,
without the intermediary use Of PR
yatc capital; the latter party pro
poses to continue production under
the present system. with regula-
ton by the federal government of
the intermediary. Social progress
is never made by radical move
ments that contemplate sudden
oyer,urning of existing conditions,
which must only be productive Of
a nationa! calamity rather than a
benefit. For this reason the Amer
ican people, who are seeking i'm
proyement of their social condi-
ton, will never elect a party Of
radical purposes to power. The
Republican party by proposing to
proceed with the true purpose of
The public mind in view, moving
as fast as public option wishes it
to move, has true grasp on the
idea of social evolution. While
only two parties have thus been
named as being in line with the
present idea of social progression,
it is true that the Democrats are
often called radical in their policies
to be applied to the conditions that
invite Il change: but that party can
hardly be said to be following the
true light that guides human ad-
vancement. Its attitude towards
the trusts is not one of progress,
but of rctrogression. 1t proposes
to tear down and scatter, instead
of applying the wellbul!t editice

it is pretty certain that the Repnb
lIcan ticket will sweep the county
at the general election.

Now that the state primary cleo
ton law 10 Missouri has had Il
trial condemnations Of it are be.
ginning TO come In from every
side and the next session of the
legislature will be asked to repeal
it on The grounds that it has failed
in its mission Of improving the
process Of nominating party candl-
dates. But has the law been Il
failure. We note that much of
the complaint that has arisen
against it comes from defeated
candidates and their friends. That
it has not made Il perfect nominat-
ing machine is admitted, and one
of the chief reasons for this is its
newncss and the unfamiliarity of
the voters with the method. That
under its provisions fraud is pos
slble in the nomination Of candi-
dates is also admitted. but here
the people are more ut fault than
the law. The unfair parlisans are
ever vigilent to overcome their
political opponents regardless Of
the rules, and the only law that
will correct this abuse is the will
Of the honest element of society,
which, unfortunately, is rarely ex-
pressed on these occasions. This
element refuses. except on extra
ordinary occasions, to mix in tue
political game because Of It's !n-
decencles, never thinking that by
its lack Of interest in the matter it
turns the whole political machi merry
over TO those whom they know
will make unfair and illegal use Of
it. The reproach, whatever it may
amount to, Of the snefhciency Of
the primary law lies not so much
upon the rascaIly political element
as it does upon the decent element.
We do not believe there should be
any hurried repeal of the primary
law, it should be given few more
trials before rc!egating it to the
heap as failure.

Washingtonians Overlook the Beau
ties Of the Capital.

Washington is a town of entranc
ing interest If one but gets inside the
subject-if one comprehends the won
derful development that has gone on
since the city site was a group Of
farms and the wonderful development
that is taking place now.
The great things of Washington ap-
pear commonplace to Washington peo-
pie. They see them so often that they
do not see them at all They ride by
the capitol every day, but rarely tread
the halls and corridors Of the majestic
old pile where so much world history
has been made and Is still making
They have no time to give to the in
teresting frescoes, the paintings, the
statues and the stories Of the place.
They are too busy to do as strangers
do-climb to the dome, get a glorious
panorama and see the city at a glance.
Also do the residents seem to shun
the monument. 1t is so inconvenient-
ly situated, there being no street cars
nearer to 1t than at least two squares.
They seldom stop to read the in
scriptions on the memorials that
abound They do not flock to the Ma
tional Museum, or the art gallery, or
to Arlington or the Naval observatory.
They do not go in great numbers to
the pious shade Of the close of the
Cathedral OF st. Peter and st. Paul
or to the splendid grounds of the
Catholic university. They neglect the
Soldiers Home unless they own an
auto, and then perhaps their only com
ment is that the roads are good.
Washingtonians will walk till their
bunions burn in pursuing the beauties
of the Jardin des Plants and the roy
al gardens at Kew, Dut give not a
thought to the remarkable collection
and variety Of tree and plant forms in
the capitol grounds, the national Bo-
tanic garden, the grouAds of the ag-
ricultural department and several Of
the public parks.
Washingtonian do patronize their
hhs&riss, for the population of the
