The Primary System.

THE age is tending toward Demo
cracy. Parties and movements are
strong just in proportion as they
place faith in the people and trust
power to their Judgment. Ohio
with its Republican majority in
both houses Of its legislature has
passed constitutional amendment
establishing the initiative and re-
ferendum when it shall have been
ratified by vote Of the people.
Oregon, South Dakota and num-
Der Of cities already have it in oper-
alton. This is placing Legislative
powers in the hands of the people.
The primary system places the
nominating power in their hands.
We favor the primary system be-
cause we have faith in the people.
We believe it is safer to trust all
the voters all the time than the
practical politician any of the time.
The primary system gives every
voter of his party as much voice in
the selection of the candidates of his
party as the most influential and
active politician.
In practice it works out in a way
to create harmony in the party and
forever puts at rest any dissention
that may arise from trades made in
conventions. The primary system
is democratic to the core both in
theory and practice.
Instead of concentrating the nom
inations from the most populous
centers Of county it has in prac-
tice resulted in diffusing the candi-
dates and selecting men because of
their merits rather than because of
their ability to make trades in a
convention or turn slick trick in
a caucus.
IF the Democrats of this county
adopt this system at the coming
county convention they will have
taken long step in the direction of
complete party success at the polls
next fall in Our opinion,
Ifit is adopted it will not dispense
with the county convention, but in
order to comply with the law con-
vention will be held that will ratify
the action of the voters at the
primary, just as is now done in
several of the states in the selections
of United States senators. In these
states the people vote at the regular
election on candidates for the senate
and no legislature would think of
disregarding their expressed wishes.
So it would be with our county
convention, We would formally
nominate the men whom the voters
had selected, adopt platform and
arrange for the campaign and &C
In and win. Let it be adopted

For hundred times probably we
have urged the necessity of careful
tilIage in the culture Of the strawberry
and we notice that those WHO follow
our advice always have the best crops.
1t is certainly worth while to know
how. To grow nice Strawberries and
lots of them, select ground well culti-
waited the previous year, mellow and
free from trash. Enrich with dres-
sing of fine manure. Chicken manure
If well mixed with ten times its bulk of
fine soil is the best. Mark off in long
rows two and one-half feet apart aud
set the plants eighteen or twenty inches
In the row, which will require about
5000 plants to the acre. After all
leaves except crown leaves have been
cut oifkeep the ground and roots moist,
not once letting the roots become dry.
Irrigate often enough to keep the
ground moist and mellow it by fire.
quent cultivation. Spring-set plants
will begin to send out runners in June.
Train them straight in the row by lay
ing little rocks or dirt on them back Of
the nodes. When each plant has set
three or four new ones each way keep
all runners off for this will give time to
make good fruit crowns for the next
year.-Denver Field and Farm.

Crime.

Cranbrook, B. c., April 12.-With
the head nearly severed from his body,
the CHASTITY wound having been in
ficted by an AK or other sharp, heavy
weapon, and his neck broken, the body
of Northwest Mounted Policeman Mo-
ran was found at Frank, Alberta, about
7 o'clock this morning, lying at the
rear of the Imperial hotel. The alarm
was raised by one of the guests of the
hotel, who stumbled onto the CORY
find Immediately after breakfast.
Moran was transferred to Frank
from Mcleod and was detailed to
watch the sample room of the hotel, in
plain clothes, an attempt at burglary
having been made but a few nights
previous. The closing down of the
Frank mines has thrown many men
out of employment; some are almost
destitute and it was thought that the
guilty culprit would return to the
scene of the attempted theft. Scores
of foreigners formerly employed at the
mines are still in the village and at
their door the crime is laid. No ar
rests have been made.
