Work Suspended in Topic.

From Mr.. Angus Cashion, of the
Grant Brothers Construction Com
pany, who was at Nogales Satur-
day and Sunday, THE OASIS learns
that work has been suspended upon
the Guadalajara extension of the
Southern Pacific, pending the ter
mination of the rainy season.
Rains have been heavy in Topic,
rendering the progress of construc-
tion slow and unsatisfactory. When
the order of suspension was re-
ceived the grade had been COM
pleted to a point about 1870 kilo-
meters south from Mazatlan and
thirty-six kilometers north of San
tiago Escuintla. A part of the
construction equipment and sup
plies has been stored, a part of the
mules turned out to pasture anC
another portion of each has beer
transferred to the Yaqui rivel
where speed is to be put into thu
work until Tonichi is reached.
As soon as the rainy season
closes the construction work il
Topic will be resumed on an ex
tensive scale. 1t is expected t.
start the heavy barranca work be
fore the end of the year.
Mr.. Cashion stated that a par

Primary Law Invalid.

Attorney General John B. Wright
Of Tucson is a visitor in Phoenix
today and spent the morning at
the capitol. He is here on official
business.
Mr.. Wright created quite an in
terest in the merits of the primary
law few days by a strong denun-
citation of its provisions, many of
which he called ambiguous and
some at cross-purposes with others
bearing on the same points. In
other words, parts of it are very
bad and a legal tumble.
Mr.. Wright was asked concern
ing the law this morning by a
Gazette reporter and stated that
after having spent three months
studying it over, he had come to
the conclusion that it should be
repealed or annulled by congress
sional act. He thinks the law per-
n;cious, cumbersome, and its oper-
alton will be expensive to the ter
ritory.
The primary law as at present
framed, will practically compel a
candidate to make three campaigns
for any office from committeeman
to delegate TO congress. First,
there will be the campaign for
securing the signers of the nomina-
ton papers, which is expensive by
reason of the fees involved in TAX
ing afhdavits. Second, there will
be the campaign for the nomina.
ton at the primary, and last, the
fight for the office. What bushes:
man will 90 to that trouble tC
secure an Office like city council
man, which he does not want, a
least, can be induced to take only
after earnest solicitation by hu
friends?
Zone bad thing in the operation
of this law is that it will make i
much harder to secure good men t,
run for office. The more red tap
and obstacles are put in the roa'
of candidates, the fewer good mel
will try for Office. The averag
man will not go to the trouble.
then leaves the field to the profes
sional politician to devote his tim
to framing up tickets. With thi
law the politician could build up
e powerful machine, the very oppC
: site OF what a primary law is DE-
: sired to accomplish. Only tho'
S who make politics business wi
n get on the inside of this potpour

SHELTER AT MAZATLAN.
"One of the great advantages
that will rebound to the benefit of
the country for many miles around
Mazatlan is the fact that a num-
Der of Tucson capitalists will erect
a smelter in Mazatlan within the
coming year. This movement is
headed by Epes Randolph OF the
Southern Pacific. The concession
has already been granted and work
will soon be begun on the enter
prise.
"The fact that the mining indus
try is gaining rapidly in that Sec
ton of the country is shown from
the fact that during the past year
more than 100000 worth OF min
ing machinery has been imported
to the Mazatlan section alone. The
exports were about $S,000,000"
Mr.. Kaiser has done much to
further the interests of Americans
in the Mazatlan district and dur
ing his tenure of office his post has
increased greatly in Importance. 1t

where now the salary is $4,000,

SCHOOL BUILDING PROPOSITION.

It is to be hoped that at last a solution to
the problem that has kept the school build
ing uncompleted for so long time has been
found, and that we may now at least be en-
abled to so far finish it as to protect it from
decay. The action of the School Board in
assuming the responsibility of it's completion
through the appointment of committee is
upon legal advice supported by the opinion
of Attorney General Guion that it may le-
gally do so, and the Council is to be con-
graduated upon the successful outcome of
its endeavors to secure to the town a suita-
bic school building and save from total loss
the incomplete structure that has stood so
long as the ghost of cherished hope.
The Council has worked to this end under
most trying circumstances. Probed by the
urgent need of the school children and har-
assed by legal procedure and opposition,
the turning of the property over to the
School Board appears to have been the only
means of accomplishing its object, and every
good friend to education will applaud the
act.
The funds for the completion Of the build
ing will be provided by the two banks of
Covington, if necessary, through negotia-
tions of the School Board. and the building
will be constructed in accordance with plans

THE CITIZEN MAKES THE TOWN.

How many people are there who would
dare face the public with piece of Wander
biltism like the following: IT'S immateria]
to me what benefits the public generally,
and don't care continental about what
anybody wants. Pm looking out for my in
terests and my interests only" Yet some
pursue this policy so earnestly that it is
placarded in their routes of travel and trans
lated from their every utterance on public
affairs. However, this class of citizens is
not the most obstructive element in the &C.
cOmplishment of good things, because each
component part is so wrapped in self as to
antagonize concerted effort or harmonious
agreement. The greatest obstructionists are
the people who, knowing what is best, rec
ognizing the necessity, lack the combative-
ness or the moral courage to stand up and
make the light.
It is presumed the fundamental principle
that the majority should rule is protection
against the subversion Of the will Of the peo-
ole, yet inactivity Of the best element of So
: ciety often makes it possible for very
small minority to defeat the enactment of
laws, obstruct reforms, and render useless
the efforts of those who are striving for
progress and improvement.
Every movement that comes before the
people for consideration should be subject to
discussion without awakening the animosity
of those who hold adverse opinions. There
are two sides to every question, and intelli-
ligent, thinking people should be open to
conviction, and should perform their duty
as good and useful citizens by throwing the
weight of their influence into the struggle.
1t is the sin of omission that is working the
worst injury to progress in Covington-the
failure to take up the battle, rather than
direct opposition, that prevents the accom-
plishment of many things. While the pre-
sumption is that majority of the people are
entitled to control, this presumption is based
on the theory of participation by all. There
fore citizen who stands aloof or is concilia-
tory, weakened or Indifferent becomes
stumbling block, no matter how intelligent
or moral or christian he may be.
The useful citizen sinks his individual
wishes in the welfare of the entire COM
munity, is open to argument and is active
in. his opposition to class privileges or fac
tional advancement. Such citizen eventu-
ally wins the confidence of all the people
whose approval is worth having, and in a
commgnity with such people predominating
there would be no checking of progress. A
wilderness could be made to smile with
prosperity.

NUMBER ONE, VOLUME THlRTY-sIx.

With this issue, The St. Tammany Farmer
enters upon the thirty-sixth year of it's ex-
istence. It has prospered during the past
year beyond expectation, having during that
time nearly doubled it's circulation, and feels
that it's efforts to be of service to the COM
munity Of its domicile, and to the parish
generally, are appreciated While gladly
availing itself Of every opportunity to be
useful to the State, it has been especially
DESTROYS of promoting the interest of the par
ish, and has cherished the hope Of seeing it's
agricultural development carried to the high
point which it's climate and soil make posi-
BILE. The Farmer has been the friend of
education, the advocate Of progress, and the
supporter of clean municipal government,
and it will continue during the coming year
to do all in it's power to aid in advancement,
to give publicity to the resources of the par
ish, and to impress upon the people the pros
perity that awaits proper cultivation of
the soil, not forgetting in the meantime to
be be thankful to it's many friends for their
kind assistance and support.
