lis Journal, Editorial.
During a speech before the Kan
sas legislature w. H. Martin, re-
preventative from Kansas City,
Kansas, which has recently gone
thru spell of "lid-itis'' which is
pronounced incurable, stated that
there are Is joints and gambling
houses in Kansas City, and that there
was more 'booze" sold than ever
before. So C. w. Trickett, Assist
ant State Attorney, who is given
the power to summon before him
any person who has Knowledge of a
violation of these laws, promptly
subpoenaed the gentleman from
Wyandotte county, citing him to
appear in the court of common pleas
and tell all he knew about the
"blind tigers in Kansas City.
Martin began to hedge. He did
not remember the exact words. He
did not mean that he knew of any
definite place where liquor was sold.
1T is merely currently reported. -
Il do not personally know about
it. ;" Perhaps there isn't any,
thing of the kind going on any,
way Martin was merely "edu-
cating' the public.
From a correspondents What
do you make Of the report that
there is more liquor sold in prohibi-
ton territory than in license, and
that prohibition destroys the prop
erty of the brewers and throws their
employees out of work, while license
does the opposite?' We just make
fun Of it-that's all.

ROAD QUESTION AT
TOWN MEETINGS

Kandiyohi, Mimi, Feb. "a, 1908.
Editor Tribune: March 10, 1908,
will be the day for town elections,
and among the changes from former
town meetings is abolishing the
office of road overseer. In former
years the town meeting has elected
its road overseers for the different
road districts. Now it is left with
the town board Of supervisors to
appoint town road inspector, who
shall have charge, under the direc-
ton Of the county superintendent
Of highways. Such inspector is to
have charge of all roads and bridges
in his town, and may appoint one
or more competent assistants.
Now, it is question if this new
law is a improvement over the old
law. For instance, in our town of
Kandiyohi we have had nine road
districts, and in the first place the
town meeting has had a hard task
to elect nine overseers (which they
have now and the chances have
been that the town board has had
to appoint about half of them to fill
vacancies because some of those
elected would not qualify. The
general excuse put for not serving
has been that they have not had the
necessary time to collect and apply
the road labor assessed in their re-
spective districts. Now, if it is
hard to get nine men in town to
put in enough time to apply the
road labor, it will be a question
how will the town board be able to
find one man or even two or three
men that are competent men that
will be able to collect and apply
road labor within the time that
road work is generally done-the
latter part Of May and in June,
which is about the only time that
an overseer has been able to get

tended. unless to do one of two
things, as follows: follow the ole
rule by having as many road dis
tricts as needed and then appoint
one general road inspector for the
town and have him appoint an as
sistant for each road district; or
second, to abolish all road labor, OF
in other words, all road tax to be
paid in cash instead of beine
worked out. Then the road inspec
tor could hire and apply work a.
long as he has any funds to worl
with. But then will be a question
again-''Will / get any work done
on the piece of road that / have t
travel, or will the work go in order
to comply with the last paragraph"
The town meeting has to vote OF
the question if the town wants Il
abolish all road labor and pay cash
or not. In order to get it up fol

termine public policies and will Sc
lect the persons to formulate and adj
minister them. The uninterested, or
the spasmodically interested, the in

In commenting on Prof. Merriam's
conclusions the Chicago Daily News
says the truth cannot be too often
reiterated that devices like direct
primary laws must be utilized to the
best advantage If they are to make
| the government responsive to the
popular will. The next opportunity
in Chicago for utilizing the Illinois
direct-primary law is in connection
with the election OF Aldermen next
April. The primaries preparatory to
this election will be held on the last
| Tuesday in February. 1t is encour-
aging to note that Prof. Merriam
himself will be candidate for the
Republican nomination for Alderman
in the Seventh Ward to succeed Aid.

the council at the close of his pres

In his book, which is a history OF
primary legislation, Prof. Merriam
points out the growing tendency of
the people since the foundation of
the government to take political pow
er into their own hands. In the ear
ly days of the Republic nominations
were commonly made by Legislative
caucuses. PEA '....
The overthrow Of king Caucus
by the representative convention was
heralded in its day as a great victory
for democracy.
In recent years, as We have seen,
the convention is being displaced by
direct primaries as a more democratic
method of making nominations for
public offices.

PRIMARY LAW Is OPPORTUNITY
FOR THR PEOPLE.

In his new book on Primary EIec-
TONS" Prof. c. Il. Merriam of the
University of Chicago reaches the
conclusion that the direct-primary
system is to be regarded as an oppor-
tunity, not as a result. It signifies,
he says, the opening of broad ave-
nue. of approach to democracy in par
ty affairs, not the attainment of the
goal.
1T Is a common A0erican fallacy,"
says Prof Merriam, Ito conclude that
when constitutional amendment or
a Statute or charter is secured the
victory has been won and that the
patriotic citizen may go back to the
neglected plow.
1T is easier to secure ten men tC
fight desperately for good legislation
than one who will fight steadily ant
consistently for efficient administra
tioi. 60 80
Every student OF politics knows
however, that there is no automatic
device that will secure smoothly run
ming self-government while the peo
pie sleep. Perpetual motion and au
tomato democracy are equally Wis
ionary and impossible. The governor
gauges the pressure Of public inter
est and regulates his conduct accord
ingly. The level of politics is in tn,
