Thc Remedy.

During all these revelations of mis-
management in certain of the chart
table institutions of the state the
game of politics is being played to a
finish. Some republican politicians ere
blaming some other republican po,iti-
clans, and republican politicians gen.
orally are engaged in the effort to fix
the responsibility upon certain of their
political rivals,
Once these politicians have worn
this investigation out as a political
proposition, they will drop it and for
get it in their hungry search for other
political material. So, in the hands
of these professional politicians VINO
are wrangling over this matter. there
rests little material offer of remedy
| for the wrongs that have been perpe-
| trated.
What the people of Illinois would
| like to know is how this improvement

is to be made and who is to make j.
As to responsibility, we believe it'll

will be found that the old system of
spoils politics which the present adj
ministration of the states charities is
struggling to overthrow and the leg
islature's cruel parsimony in essential
evils which have persisted up TO this
time"
The people will now applaud ~
gressive action TO provide a remedy.
Governor Deneen can doubtless show
there has been much eXaggeration
and that much political criticism of
himself and the present administration
has been unwarranted, but there GER
tainly remains enough fact TO indie" 3"
that the system under which the in
situations are now conducted is very,
very bad Governor Deneen, being i'll
authority as the states executive, can
not avoid his share of the responsible
ity. He should. and we believe will
make recommendation for a revolu
ton of this system.
This matter has assumed the pro
, portions of an issue. possibly para
mount issue, as the people of Illinois
want a remedy applied to lift these
state institutions and their many thou
+ sands of unfortunate defenseless i'll
mates out of the muck and mire OF
petty politics and factional "bossism.'

The Primary Law and the Demo
cratic Vote.

After one of the most persistent
fights on record, up hill all the way,
the people have gained from a boss
controlled legislature law giving TO
the voters the power to nominate prac-
tically all officers to be elected in this
state. 1t is the most far-reaching and
drastic primary law ever passed by Il
state legislature. 1t eliminates the po-
litical boss, Restraints the politicians
and makes the people more powerful
than ever The bargain counter con-
vention is wiped out, all candidates be
ing nominated at primaries, the per
sons receiving the greatest number OF
votes being declared the nominees.
The direct primary bill as passed has
an interesting history. When the SUI
preme court set aside the mild pri-
mary law of 1906, the people demand
ed that something equally as good be
substituted. In an effort to fool the
people the Oglesby bill was conceived.
Ii bears the name of Representative
Oglesby, though as a matter of fact he
had nothing to do with it other than
to introduce it. 1t was drawn by enc
mics of direct primaries whose pur-
pose was to make it radical measure
in the belief that it could not pass.
But they reckoned without the people,
for the electorate saw it was just what
they wanted and demanded it's pas
sage In order to pacify the people
and make a record" the house pass
ed it, but hoping and believing the
senate would send it to the graveyard.
The senators feared to take the re-
sponsibiity and passed it with some
amendments. This necessitated lnaJ
it be returned to the house for con
current action.
Meantime Speaker Cannon appeared
upon the scene, openly buttonholed
members and urged them to oppose
the bill. As the result of his labors il
failed of passage in the house. The
bosses and other politicians could moi
conceal their JOY at the death of pri
mary reform. But again they reckon
ed without their masters, the people
The people showed deep resentfulness
and threatened to send their misrepre
sentatives into political oblivion. Ever
the bosses became alarmed and under
took to placate the people by present
ing the Shanahan makeshift. The PEG
pie frowned upon this fraud, thu
friends of genuine primary reform vot
ed against it, and it died almost al
soon as it was porn.
Again the bosses were jubilant Blu
soon they heard from the people, ant
this time in such way as to leav
no doubt that the people were tired o
chicanery, .subterfuge and double deal

ing, and that an honest direct primary
bill must be passed. Senator Jones
introduced the Oglesby bill in the sen
late, where it passed with few dissent
ing votes. When it came TO the house
the bosses saw it was useless to make
an attempt to defeat it. 1t received SO
votes, II more votes than necessary,
and So against it. 1t now goes TO the
governor, whose signature is assured.
There is to democrats high degree
of special pride in noting the attitude
and vote of the democratic members
who supported the measure. 1t was
their support that secured its pass
age.

corded in favor of this direct primary

honor that the people of Illinois, in
whose behalf they waIYel all partisan

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Fiscal Year Opens on the Exchange
In Profound Apathy.

New York. July 1.-The new fiscal
year opened in the financial district IN
a condition Of profound apathy, so
far as was reflected In the securities
market Bankers and trust companies
had some occupation IN the paying of
interest on bonds and there were 9TH
er reasonable money obligations TO be
met, including payment Of an sll,625,-
900 instalment of subscriptions for new
Northern Pacific stock. Trust COM
panies are compelled under the law TO
fix their reserves today at 10 per cent.
of deposits and the condition OF re-
serves of these companies shown by
their laet report would indicate that
they must have withdrawn from the
banks in the. neighborhood of s25,OoO,-
900 TO meet this requirement, The fin
ancial community is in hourly eXpecta-
ton of call from the treasury depart
ment for return Of, perhaps, s50,0O0,0 900
of government deposits The July d.
vidend and interests disbursements In
New York are estimated In the neigh
borhood Of $3.50 100000 Yet, so heavy
Is the surieit OF FUNDS IN the money
market and so feeble the demand for
facilities from borrowers that these ex-
traordinary requirements have done
nothing more than stlffen the call
money rate temporarily to per cent.
compared with ! IA to | r. per cent.
before prevailing. Notwithstanding
these plethoric conditions of money the
