Years before lS1S-how many the
JOURNAL does not know, the National
Government turned its interest in the
National Pike over to the States through
which it passes, the obligation upon the
latter to keep it in repair being jmpIird
rather than stipulated.
In 1873 the MARYLAND Legislature, at
the instance Of an Allegany delegate,
turned 1t over to AlIegany and Garrett
counties within their limits, but the as
sent of Congress had to be obtained.
Hence, the reference in "Thirty Years
Ago. this week,
Much as the road had drgenerated
within the 10 years before, it has gone
from bad to worse during the 30 years
since.
Hence, the meeting in Cumberland
NJ pnday evening of prominent citizens
in the interest of rehabilitation of the
historic old highway was oppprtune and
patriotic.
A committee was appointed to secure
the active interest of othercuunty peO-
Pile and to properly mamornlizh the
State Highway Commission.
If there be no let-up in this eff TT, the
people hereabout may look for some
actual Improvement of the great high

Campaign.
 Review of Reviews
 Readers who have followed this chronicle of political events for the past four or five months must have been impressed by the growing inn portance of the primary election in Western and Middle WesternS State politics. The fact is. of course. that the numerous primary laws enacted by State legislatures during the past two or three years are just now be- ing put to their first severe test. Wis consin and Oregon led the advance movement for direct nominations, and their experiments were watched with great interest by primary reformers in other States. In the first trial of the Wisconsin system, two years ago, Senator La Toilette, through whose in- ittative as governor the law had been placed on the statute books, was un- able to secure the nomination of his personal candidate for the governor ship, and his failure to carry his point with the voters of his party was hail. ed even by his followers as a strik- ing demonstration of the merits of the new method of nominating; for under the former caucus and convention re- gime in Wisconsin the La Toilette or ganizatton had been effective in se- curing its ends. and the cry of poss- ism had more than once been raised with direct nominations, there could be no basis for such a complaint The voters decided for themselves the fit- ness of every candidacy. Senater La Follette's leadership in the party councils might be ungrudgingly ac- knowledged, but his or any other mans right to dictate a nomination to the Republicans of Wisconsin was for ever nullified
 In the spring and early summer of the current year there were spirited contests for the primaries In Oregon. Iowa, South Dakota. Tennessee, Geor- gia, and Florida. Last month three great States of the Middle West voted for the first time under the new sys- tenn of direct nomnations-Kansas and Missouri on August and Illinois on August 8. There has been more or less discussion of an academic sort concerning the various provisions of the new primary laws in these States but the popular interest was in the practical workings of the new meth ods, and in the result achieved bv them. rather than in the more techni- cal aspects of the subject. Although the farmers of Kansas and Missouri We're very busy on the day of the polI- ing, they did not neglect the opnor- tunlty to register their preferencos for party nominations

DALLAS SHRIEVALTY
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ACTIVELY
 OPENED.
The Contestants Win Have to Wage Campaign of Two Years Duration, Election fin Fall
 of 1910,

Selma. Sept. 13.-(Special )-The campaign for the office or sheriff of Dallas County has been actively open ed. much to the regret of the voters of the county.
 The opening of the campaign for the once of Sheriff of Dallas County this will enter the race for that office will have to wage a campaign of two years duration. as the election will not be held until the fall of 1910.
 The early bird to announce in the forthcoming shrievalty race is T. s. Hrabowski. a wellknown and popular citizen of Selma and Dallas County. Mir. Hrabowski has been a member of the Selma police department and is at present a member of the detective force of the Southern Railway in Selma. and he Is capable of filling the office If his friends elect him to 1t.
 It ia very likely that in the race for the office of Sheriff of Dallas County, there will be a number of candidates, as there are already three avowed can didates for that once besides Mir. Hrabowski. The three other candi- dates spoken of are M. o. Walker of this city, Pettus Randall of Marion Junction and J. A Carson of Frog Level beat. It Is also stated that candidates from across the river from Selma and one from the Safford sec ton of the county will also enter the race.
 The announcing and the opening of the race for the office by Mr. Hrabow- ski is expected to draw out the other candidates. It is now expected that all of these candidates for the office will announce within the next few weeks.
 For the past two weeks the citizens who intend to run for other offices in the county election. which is two years hence, have been quietly working with the voters of the county. It is now probable that these candidates will soon begin to announce for the offices which they expect to run for and the indications are that the campaign in Dallas County will be a long drawn out one and one which will prove tiresome to the voters of the county before the election Is held.
