now the beautiful world Of vaudeville

he can wander and pick the very

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW BAD.

Ia the discussion of the question of
the state wide primary that is now
going on. preparatory to the activities
of the several northwestern legisla-
lures this winter, the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press summarizes what is considers
to be the objections to the state wide
primary system, as follows:
l.. The candidates nominate them
selves, and the idea that they are
picked out by the people proves to be
d pure delusion.

When the people becomes satisfied
that the workings of the direct prim-

to the people for the ratification of
the nominations either of the majority
or the minority, will be reintroduced
in the legislature next winter 1t is
argued in behalf Of this measure that
it would insure party organization,
the nomination of candidates by rep
resentative body of party delegates
and that the majority of the conven-
ton would be apt to remember at all
times that the nominations might go to
the people for ratification. This, it is
claimed, would bring about the choice

is the best system for the nomination

has been urged to it is that such law

VAST IMPROVEMENTS.

The spirit of the people in taking
hold of vast improvements could have
no better example than that at Pan
anna, where this country is putting a
quarter of billion into a short cut
for the ships of the world with a saw
ing of thousands of miles of travel to
all races concerned in ocean traffic,
and this embraces practically the en-
tire population of the earth. Ameri-
cans are getting their hands in" at
Panama. With such a start, and valu-
able experience, internal plans are
sure to follow, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
A notable beginning has been made
in Illinois. The city of Chicago, at it's
own cost, has completed strip of ship
canal. At the recent election the vot-
ers Of Illinois approved the issue of
s20,000,000 state bonds to extend the
ship canal to the head Of navigation on
the Illinois river. Thus the first 100
miles OF the lakes-to-gulf channel for
ships will be constructed by the state
of Illinois and it's chief city, without
calling on the national treasury for a
cent, But much more than inland
navigation for seagoing vessels is pro-
posed, as Gov. Deneen has just pointed
out at one of the Washington conven-
tons. He explained how the strip of
ship canal to be built by the state
would furnish water power worth
S2,5O0,000 a year, an income sufficient
to wipe out the debt in seventeen
years after which the state will derive
$2,500,00O year net revenue from this
source. Beyond the requirement of
ship canal and of water power is the
work of retaining 5000 square miles
now under water in Illinois but easily
worth s100,0o0,00O when drained, for
farming purposes.
Speaker Cannon remarks in rela-
ion to these great questions of in
ternal improvement on permanent
scale: THE expenditures would be
safe and sane. We want to be practi-
cal, safe and sane, and get our mon
eys worth" The speaker is right in
principle. There must be no wild or
doubtful ventures. tor every dollar
spent dollars value should be obtain
ed. But the figures are certain to run
large from the nature of the case.

This result was the inevitable out
growth of the passage Of such a law,
although it was hardly forseen. 1t
indicates that advantage is taken early
to adopt wildcat" methods, leaning al.
ways upon that fund accumulated
from the banks by special tax. 1t
shows that the banks are trying to
make up for the loss in extraordinary
assessment, so earnestly advocated
for time by the Democratic candi-
date for the presidency. They are
seeking funds without their own state,
Haunting the guarantee, which is a
very doubtful guarantee, indeed. 1t
is ridiculous to suppose that the state
of Oklahoma intends to reimburse de-
positors living in other states, in case
of failure. The taxation could not be-
gin to cover the damage wrought by
say half dozen insolvencies in one
year. Immediately such a condition
occurred the point would be raised in
the courts and Oklahoma might very
naturally be counted upon to care for
its own citizens first The depositors
of Kansas, Texas, Missouri and Colo
RADIO might sing for their savings. The
honestly and conservatively managed
banks would place every barrier with
in their means to prevent the drain
ing of the funds to which they have
contributed. The state authorities
would feel no responsibility toward
these foreign depositors.
AS it has been frequently pointed
out since the freak bank law went into
effect, the people would have to pay
in the end. They have invited specu-
lation and careless banking by as

their Office. He declared that no bet
ter protection might be devised for the
timber and land thieves. He planted a
tack in the last paragraph, saying: :.
ut is true that the work of the sec.
ret service agents was partly respon-
sible for the indictment and convic-
tion of senator and a congressman
for land frauds in Oregon. l do not
believe that it is in the public interest
to protect criminals in any branch of
the public service, and exactly as we
have again and again during the past
seven years prosecuted and convicted
such criminals who were in the excu-
tive branch Of the government, so in
my belief we should be given ample
means to prosecute them If found In
the legislative branch. But if this is
not considered desirable, special ex-
ception could be made in the law pro-
hibiting the use of the secret service
force in, Investigating members of con-
gress. 1T would be far better to do this
than to do what actually was done,
and strive to prevent or at least to
hamper effective action against GRIMM

Many congressman doubtless voted
for the measure without close study
of its provisions. There will be
scramble to get to cover and disclaim
responsibility.
