MISUSE OF THE PRIMARY.

A queer state of public sentiment
has grown up in this county, and
probably elsewhere, as to right of
Democrats to take part in Repub-
lican primaries. At Wabasso some
out-and-out Democrats were chal-
lenged, the Republicans oyer there
setting an example the county seat
might we'll copy, Of shielding the
primary from rank abuse. When
challenged the Democrats stated
that they were deprived of their
rights; that they felt as long as the
Democrats did not have a full
ticket they ought to be allowed to
90 into the booth with Republican
ticket to carve up.
The primary was designed as a
substitute for the convention system
and to take the place of the county
convention. No Democrat would
have ever thought his rights were
invaded because he could not go to
a Republican county convention and
he has no more right under the law
to take part in a primary. It is not
an election but simply dominates a
county ticket of and for Republi-
cans.
There are two classes of Demo
Gratis who ask the right to vote at
Republican primaries. The honest
and the dishonest ones. The first
class expect to vote for the man
they help to nominate; the second
class expect to vote against him
after he is nominated and are only
supporting him in order to weaken
the ticket as a whole or to enable
a Democrat. running on his owr
ticket, or as an independent, to de
| feat the particular man they sup
port.
To get right down to bed rocl
principles Democrat of the las
class is no more honest than an.
other confidence man. And in {
Democratic county the rule O
course works the other way and

A MUCH NEEDED REFORM.

Duluth News Tribune.
There are one hundred and fifteen
men to examine the over $500 ma
tional banks, with loans and dis
counts aggregatinc over 81, 100000
900. They are paid by the banks
individually in a graded fee of from
$50 to $500 per bank examined.
To earn the limit of their salaries
that is, as many fees as possible by
making all the examinations al
lowed under the law, these examin-
ers take sort Of pedestrian view Of
the assets and liabilities, the loans,
discounts, securities and cash on
hand. They get what information
they can as they walk through the
building.
AS a matter of fact, it is quite
usual to examine two minor banks
in one day and seldom is more than
day devoted to the average bank,
with assets and liabilities reaching
to half million dollars. The in
efficiency of such an examinat on is
manifest and in the larger cities the
clearing houses have their own sys-
tenn Of information as to the banks
in their associations, the inadequacy
of the federal examination being SO
transparent.
COMPTROLLER Murray recognizes
that all the good of this system
rests in the personal equation. 1t
depends wholly upon the conscience,
efficiency and capacity of the
examiners, and he proposes to tone
up his force by few dismlssals if
politics will permit and by liberal
allowance Of plain talk.
Then he will ask congress to re-
model the system and place the
examiners upon the salary basis
with no more work than an honest
man may do earnestly. There can
be no doubt that it is entirely with
in the possibilities to prevent by
proper examination such failures as
those of the Walsh bank of Chicago
and the Montgomery bank of Pitts
burg.
Indeed, any system which does
not prevent such deliberate bank
footing is farce, and it is because
Of such as these that the presen,
demand for the insurance OF de-
posts has grown to the dimensions
of a political issue. Congress vii
be culpable if it does not act upor
Mr.. Murray's recommendations anc
endsthe present long outgroWn sys
tenn of examination.

Some of our exchanges are follow
ing the lead of the St. Paul Review
in criticising the state fair manage
ment, and a temperance advocate
quotes with approval the following
extract from that paper: The
state fair has degenerated into a
first-class graft game all around.
A pop vender, for instance, sells his
wash at double what it goes for
down town, and the price of a glass
of beer is beyond all reason because
a strenuous management noisily
assumes too much activity against
blind pigs" If the Review cannot
find anything worse against the
fair management than this, it
strikes us that the charge of toe
much activity against blind pigs will
not injuriously affect the fair peo-
pie. They are under no obligation
to offer blue ribbons for this kind
of livestock, which Gov. Jacobson
assisted in putting off the fail
grounds some years ago. The fac
is, the large police force at the fail
made numerous arrests Of hawker'
and vendors for overcharging fol
their wares, but were unable to bag
them all or to entirely prevent rob

JOHNSON AND FOLK.

exception to the recent article IN
which the public record of Gov
johnson was compared with that
made by Gov. Hughes. The point
is made that it was an attempt to
make partisan capital, forsooth, be-
cause Hughes is Republican.
AS the Democracy of Gov. Folk
is admitted, though not favored, by
McDermott- ct al, who constl-
tute the Democratic leadership OF
Minnesota, and as THE GAZETTE
would have no object in booming
the gentleman from Missouri, we
are willing to test the claims to
greatness made in behalf of Gov,
johnson with the mighty creditaole
administration of his brother Demo-
crat of Missouri. This paper admits
a genuine regard for Gov. Folk and
his record is one for any Democrat
to boast of and any citizen to ad-
mire.
They are alike in more things
than are Johnson and Hughes. Both
have been chief officers of state
controlled by the opposition party;
both are effective speakers and both
men of pleasing address; both have
been able to draw beyond their
party and secure Republican sup
port and here all resemblance
ceases.
Folk defed the leaders of his own
party; it has been the main delight
and occupation of johnson to pro
cure positions for the leaders OF
his. All Folk has secured has been
in the face of the most bitter oppo-
sition of the patronage brokers OF
his party; johnson is the center
around which cluster such paragons

Billy Martin, one of the best
known men of the territory,
paid the Republican organiza-
ton of Luna county a neat COM
pliment while here last week act
ing in his official capacity as
clerk of the district court. Mr..
Martin said: Under prevailing
conditions the Republicans of
Luna county made a better show
ing at the recent election than
the party did in any other
county in the territory" There
isn't, we dare say, a better post
ed man in the territory on the
political situation than Mr.. Mar

to doff our Stetsons to Billy.
The rapid development which
is being made in New Mexico
along the line of irrigation and
utilization of water supply is
placing the Territory in a promi-
nent position among the western
states. 1t is only now that the
wealth and value Of her natural
resources are being realized.
Projects are now being consider
ed, or are now in course of &C
tual construction, which will re-
suit in the reclamation of thous.

A Work on Irrigation.

L. Sullivan has published a book
let which contains a number OF
articles on irrigation by well
known men Of New Mexico,
These articles were written in
the contest recently held for a
trophy offered by Mr.. Sullivan
for the best article on irrigation,
and they cover the subject in
every particular.
The introduction to the book
let, written by Mr.. Sullivan,
gives his reason for organizing
the contest and publishing the ar
ticles. lie says:
Realizing that there has been
but little done to assist the farm
er N getting better results from
his irrigated farm, the writer

ton Of criticism of previous
methods, but purely to develop
and educate the public on these
matters. The results are SO
that | have decided to
print the articles in pamphlet
form.
New Mexico is favored with
the finest climate in the world,
and is abundantly supplied with
the most fertile soil. 1t is,there-
fore, our desire to i:rigate as
much land as possible. 1t is
that good crops can be
raised on 10 to IS inches of rain
fall. Why, then, do we use
more irrigation water, supplied
at advantageous periods of the
season and in addition to the
in order to get desired
results? Because of the lack Of
knowledge of how and when to
irrigate and how to take care of
the soil and crops"

booklet are: Suggestions Up

Cry of the Lonely Woman.

To the woman who is wife but
has not known motherhood, to her
who treads the path of life alone,
and to the mother whose arms are
bereft by the grim reaper of that
which she has deemed most precious,
there is message in the experiences
of four foster-mothers as told in the
August Delineator.
There are millions of these women,
millions of homes to which no child
has ever come, millions who have re-
NAMED unwed, who have alive with
in them the maternal love that
yearns for its fulfilment. There are
thousands of homes that death has
left lonely, where the mother whose
arms are empty moprns her loss.
Yet within their reach is happi.
ness, happiness in the breadth and
depth of life told in every line of
these four stories.
There is no life for a woman
without children" says one foster
mother. And contrasting the life Of
the woman whose days are empty
and whose life is purposeless, who
grows old and weary and fretful fol
the lack of something to fill out hel
existence, with the depth and sin
cerity and joy of these women who
have adopted motherhood as pro
fession, it would seem that she is
right.
