of his parents. He won the love of
all, who also did what they could to
keep him with them, but soon he was
taken away. The parents. one brother
and one sister and many friends mourn

little boys went up stairs for the
purpose of examining the hired mans
rifle which, having been left loaded, he
unexpectedly discharged, the charge
passing downward through the ceiling
and directly between Mrs. Chubback
and Miss May Ashley, the only
occupants in the room. Fortunately
no lives were lost, but the circumstance
caused no slight alarm and should prove
as a warning against leaving loaded
fire arms around.
News seems very scarce this week.
as our farmers are very busy planting
corn and the gentler sex are finishing
housekeeping and making garden,

high license and compliance with ex-
listing laws. We believe the law re-

that First street should not be the

the sale OF liquor be prohibited after

w-abiding person should object to
this.

THE LATEST DIRECT PRIMARY
PLAN.

Primary reform laws have at times
been weakened by divergence of
opinion among their advocates. Some
OF the advocates, In other words, de
sire to put political parties as far
as practicable out OF existence and
hence strive after characteristics in
direct primary laws which they think
will destroy party power. Others
more conservatively, aim merely to
bring party organizations under bet
ter control by the electorate and have
no sympathy with provisions aimed at
party overthrow.
Governor Hughes OF New York, dc
spite his almost unequaled independ-
ence from party control in his conduct
of his office, is OF this latter type.
He believes parties are hard facts.
that they will always exist. that they
might as well be accepted and that
the best thing to do in legislation is
not TO blind ones self to their exist
ence, but to give them formal place
under the laws. Consequently his pri.
mary law project. now fully outlined
to the people of his state. has full
place for the party committees and
conventions. 1t has this popularity
however. that 1t places the field of
operation for these party organiza-
tions, not after the primary election is
held, but before 1t. and thus II rec.
ognizes actual conditions such as are
found under the direct primary laws
OF IRinois. Wisconsin and other states.
ernor Hughes would have party
committees elected by direct votes OF
the people, with care taken that nc
candidate received any preferential
place on the ticket. Once elected
however, these committees would be
authorized to nominate tickets of can
didates for nomination to the offices
to be filled. The names of the can
didates for nomination to the offices
to be filled. The names of the can
didates so brought forward would have
preferential place on the party ballots
at the primaries, while all other can
didates for nomination would follow in
order. These other candidates could
be freely placed on the ticket by ne
tition, with no heavy requirement as
TO the number of signers thev mps,
secure. Then the whole list would be
submitted to the direct vote of the
party, with the result that the organi
zation list of candidates for nomina
tion would be frankly and fully put to
the test before the people for lust
what 1t was worth. 1t would be the
organization list and could not pre.
tend to be anything else, even If II
wanted to. The organization as such
would be recognized. but by that very
token compelled to explain its real
purposes and reason for existence
There is no subterfuge or obscurity
ABOUT such a program as this. II is
straight and square, and. while # may
not at all satisfy the majority of the
advocates of the direct primary who
look upon their program as providing
a panacea for political Ills. It has the
advantage of conforming remarkably
wei to conditions as they exist and
are bound TO exist. Governor Hughes
points out that. should the provision
ne makes for party committees and
committee nominations not work well,
II could easily be eliminated from the
law II is 10 be hoped his scheme
VIII be given chance to show what
II is worth In practice.-Record-H Her.
