That the Assembly" and the d..

of serious consideration. For in

Lane county Assembly" last Satur-
day is the only ticket loyal Repub-

who participated in its nomination
contend it is the acme of nonsense
to proceed to hold a primary cleo
ton, with its attendant expenses.
lust for the sake of ratifying a tick
ct already nominated. On the other
hand, if the state Assembly" ticke'
and the several county Assembly
tickets are not authorized party
tickets, then the Oregonian and
many other Republican papers are
simply trying to bunco the Repubi-
can voters into accepting them as
such.
There is absolutely no room for
both the Assembly and the direct
primary, and one or the other Of
them must go. The rank and file of
the party voters may decide which

(Christan Science Monitor)
one Of the most plausible argu-
ments in favor of the direct primary
method of eleeting state and county
officials and congressman Is the con
tention that II is absolutely the first
step necessary to the publication of
American political life. Another is
the incontroyertible fact that in
states where the primary law has
been in force there is no move by
the people to supplant the new sys-
TEN. Still another, and perhaps the
most convincing of them all, is that
the firmest opposition to the enact
ment of a primary election law
comes not from the voters them
selves, but from the men who have
depended in the past chiefly on the
conventions for their political sue
cesses.
In one OF the New England states.
for example, the Republican state
platform committee this year ar
ranged plank indorsing the direct
primary idea and tentatively pledg-
ing the party to enact such law.
Some of the county conventions had
passed resolutions favoring such
legislation, and there was no reason
to believe that II would not meet
with general approval, but at the
last moment before the state con-
vention the plank was replaced by
an innocuous one declaring for the
retention of the old caucus system.
The resolution finally adopted was
80 nearly like the one incorporated
in another New England state plat
form that there was little surprise
manifested and no attempt at de-
nial was made when some one
charged openly that both OF them
originated in Washington, One OF
these planks read "The Legislature
should enact such law as will SUR
round the political caucuses with the
same safeguards as now protect
elections at the polls" The other
was worded 1--WE urge upon our
legislature the enactment OF such
direct primary and other laws as
may properly regulate the conduct
Of all ceucuses TO secure the homes.
and free expression Of the proper
voters therein"
Whatever may be said for or
against the primary election idea,
II cannot be urged that the people
are the ones who take alarm when

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part Of
this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pain in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, dis
orders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc, But If you keep the MI
ters right you will have no trouble
