THE PRIMARY LAW.
Ore of It's Promoters Declares Strong
Against 1t.

Henry Feig wrote commu nication
to the Pioneer Press some time ago
relative to the repeal of the primary
law, and Judging from the unanimity
with which the communication has
been favorably commented upon,
there is a widespread demand for
radical changes in the present law.
Mr.. Feig says
ssTo the Pioneer Press: I have just
read what you say in your today's
editorial anent the defeat of Gov.
Folk of Missouri by the vote of st.
Louis and Kansas City with the help
of the Republican gangster's in
those cities.
"Your deductions are doubtless
correct and the result is unfortunate,
as it removes from public life, at
least temporarily, worthy man
with a splendid public record. For
this the primary election system is
primarily responsible and the effect
of this pernicious law appears to be
everywhere the same.
"The reason for this is that it gives
the minority the chance to name the
majority candidates, picking out the
weak ones in order to subsequently
defeat them.
"This has been the effect of this
law wherever tried and it thus de-
feats every object of good primary
law, viz: to put up the best man.
"This country, Mr.. Editor, has
been ruled by party policies represent
ed in our legislative bodies by men
who stood for, advocated and enact
ed those policies into state and feder.
al laws. Whatever has been done,
good Or bad, in our national and
state development is traceable to
party council and party action. I'm
der it the state and country have
grown great. There is very little
that suggests any independent ac-
hievement that enters into our nat
ional greatness. The policies of the
republican party in the hands and
minds of progressive men and wo-
men are the responsible factor of our
progress. 1t was party policies push
ed by the progressive principles of
prudent, progressive people that did
Morris tribune., 1908-12-19

the business. Now why destroy the
system that has made us great, why
kill or cripple the goose that lays the
golden egg? Why abandon party
eohesiveness and party push for in
dependent political chaos and political
decentralization? Why make this
country the prey of the smooth inde-
pendent political agitator and its peo-
pie the victims of corrupt political in
fuences? Why inject in our primary
policies feature that invites political
dishonesty by tempting the minority
to foist upon the majority unworthy
candidates?
"Mr. Editor, theoretically the pri-
mary law may be all right; in practice
it is an abortion. 1t is on the theory
of Improvement of the old law that
it was enacted. 1t is because of its
consummate failure that it should be
repealed, and were I member of the
incoming Minnesota legislature I
would crave the indulgence to intro
duce either house or senate file No. /,
and it would be "A bill for an act to
repeal the primary election law and
house or senate file No. 2, "To enact
in its stead a common sense primary
law under which Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and all other parties would
strictly attend to their own individual
party affairs, and save the state the
expense of conducting foolish pri-
mary election" 1t costs thousands to
conduct these elections, and the game
isn't worth the powder. We have
put our foot in it,: let US like sensi-
BILE men, take it out and return to the
good old way of party association,
party councils and party cooperation
before and after conventions.
"Mr. Editor, you and others may
hunt high and low for reason or
reasons why the late republican cam
didate for governor failed of election:
you can find several reasons perhaps,
but you can find none more potent in
bringing on that lamentable result
than the effects of our abominable
primary election law and the party
demoralization it already has brought
out in this state. Henry Feig.

sistence and painful regularity, they
have ratified away day after day, night

very long ago somebody asked the
men behind the noise why they did
it. Why? That's it! The first man

Death of Thomas Gaffney. !.

| News was received here last week
of the death at the hospital at Roches-
ter, Mimi, on Friday, Dec. 18th, OF
Thomas Gaffney, the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Gaffney, of
this place. His death was due to
complications arising from appendi-
| citis, severe attack of which he
suffered from last spring. At that
time, as soon as practicable after
partially recovering from the attack,
he went to Rochester and was there
operated upon. The operation was
SO late, however, that he was sick all
summer, and went to Rochester again
on the Gath of September. The
doctors there hoped for his recovery
until he took sudden turn for the
worse the Sunday before he died.
The body was brought here last
Sunday evening, and then taken on a
later train to Osnabrook, N. D. His
mother, and his brothers Frank and
Joseph, accompani cd the remains to
North Dakota.
Thomas Gaffney was born in Bell
Creek, Goodhue county, in April,
1865, and was the Oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Gaffney. He NOV
ed here with his parents in 1878, and
lived here until about thirteen years
ago, when he went to Cavalier county,
N. D., where he took homestead
near Osnabrook. There he soon
married and has since lived. He was
one of the prosperous farmers of that
county. He is survived by his widow
and five Children, the oldest of whom
is ten years and the youngest a year
and half.
Deceased is mourned by many
friends and relatives here, who extend
sympathy to the bereaved wife and
family.

liquid counter-irritant.
The ideal remedy is Nosh's
Liniment. Its carefully COM
pounded ingredients possess
wonderful powers Of penetration
and Immediately reduce the in
fam nation and congestion.
Noah's Liniment is absolutely
harmless, and can be used freely
without consultation with a
physician. Apply the liniment
freely over the point of pain or
congestion. Saturate hot fan
mel and keep it applied to that
portion of the body. The effect
will be almost i'm mediate, and in
many cases the threatened pneu.
monia will be dispelled before a
physician can be secured.
Best for rheumatism, sciatia,

A TRUST FUND SAYS PRITCHARD
Dispensary Not a Branch of the
State Government.

Asheville, N. o., Feb o.
In the matter of the Felsch.
mann company against the dis
penssry commission Of South
Carolina, Judge J. G. Pritcbard
in the United States circuit
court today held that the court
could assume jurisdiction in this
case on the ground that the fund
in the hands Of the dispensary
commissioners is a trust fund
held for the creditors of the dis.
pensary.
In substance tho judges deci.
sion states:
THAT, as the Slate of South
Carolina has seen fit to engage
in the purchase aud sale OF
spirituous liquors, it can not be
reasonably contended that in so
doing it is performing the func-
tions usually exercised by a
Stale when necessary to pre-
serve its autonomy and maiD-
tain It's sovereignty.
1.-The supreme court of that
State has decided that the act
authorizing the establishment of
a dispensary Was constitutional
However, it can hardly be AS
