been adopted. The resolution under which

Lodoe 10 Ask for Vote.

Mr.. Lodges resolution was before the
Senate for nearly two hours to-day, and the
Massachusetts, Senator gave notice that he
would call IL I'D tomorrow and ask for
vote Its principal critic to-day was
Senator Smith. Of South Carolina. who
made an impassioned speech in criticism
Of the Payne law. Mr.. smith charged the
tariff act with responsibility for high prices,
attacked the Attorney General because he
plans an investigation of the cotton ex-
changes and declined to support the resolu-
ton designed 10 establish the relations
between the tariff and high prices and be-
tween them and wages. The South Caro-
linian strongly advocated high cotton
prices, and declared that high price for
the great staple Of the South meant ma
tionaI prosperity. When Senator Aldrich
asked him If he would also argue for
higher prices for all products similar to
cotton Mr. Smith said he did not want 10
make an admission OF that kind. Mr..
Smith asked the Rhode Island Senator If
he thought the tariff had any effect IN pro-
ducing high prices.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that the protective
system gave prosperity. and with pros
perity and a higher standard Of living
came higher prices. Many elements con-
tributed 10 high prices. Mr.. Aldrtch said,
the tariff being a factor to the. extent that
higher standard OF living always prevailed
in prosperous times.
II was late in the afternoon when the
interstate commerce bill was taken up-
No progress on this was made owing to
parliamentary tangle which led 10 de
bate lasting nearly two hours. The only
point involved was whether Senator Craw-
ford or Senator Cummns should get the
credit for the amendment TO Section
providing that traffic agreements shall be
subject 10 the approval Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The friends OF the
bill are supporting the Crawford amend
ment. while the Republican insurgents
want Mr. Cummins to have the credit, the
two amendments making precisely the
same change. The question was finally
settled in favor or the Crawford amend
ment, with an agreement that Mr.. Cum
Minis shall have an opportunity To get
direct vote on his amendment. He will
speak az length tomorrow in favor of
his plan.

The Des Moines experiment in
municipal government is said by
competent observers to be Deepen
dent upon the cooperation OF
the newspapers for its success.
Ii that is considered defect it
must be born in mind that the
same thing is true of every form
of city government and the gov

the United States.
Newspapers, being made by
men, are fallable. A few OF them
are published for attaining un
worthy ends. A small number
are maintained for the purpose
OF making money by playing on
the preludices and passions OF
the uniformed. But the news
papers OF the United States as a
whole stand courageously for
what their editors believe to be
for the best interests Of the peo-
pie. The fact that they do not

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

There is considerable discus.
sion and criticism of the direct
primary law, and it must be adj
mitted that some corrections
are necessary. But the fact re-
mains that the principle is good
and the law is a step in the right
direction. AS in all progressive
movements, there has been con-
siderable misunderstanding, but
that will be overcome, in time,
and the people will learn that
they have the power in their own
hands, if they care to exercise it.
The greatest objection to the
law is the ridiculous and farcical
mandatory second choice pro-
vision, which certainly was never
intended by the trainers and
makers OF the law. With this
feature eliminated and a few
minor corrections theta should
work very satisfactorily.
The most serious problem in
connection with perfect execution

A plan to organize a Conven-
lions Bureau, such as has been
successful in Chicago, Cleveland
and other cities of the east, and
to make every possible effort to
bring as many big national con-
ventions to the Northwest each
year as possible, has been
started and will be put on a
working basis shortly. The ho-
tel men and other business inter
ests which will profit by bringing
thousands of convention dele
gates and tourists to the West
each year will subscribe the funds
to the conventions bureau and a
manager will be chosen to visit
big conventions and offer every
inducement to bring future SEES
sions to cities of the Northwest.
The value of a convention to a
city has been studied by organ
izers who have reduced the mat

the average Length Of conven-
ton is three days. That in
cludes everything from national
gatherings thar stay a week to
local affairs that may have only
one or two sessions. The aver
age amount spent by a delegate
is variously estimated from three
to five dollars day. People
away from home and enjoying
themselves in a strange city
spend freely. Every delegate to
an Elks reunion, or a Shriners
convention is worth ten to fifteen
dollars day. Organizations
like those two, made up Of men
who are "spenders'' are counter
acted by the kind OF conventions
whose delegates live as cheaply
as possible and spend little or
nothing for entertainment.

of the intent OF the law is the
awakening of the voters to a re-
sponsibility in the matter Too
many are inclined to shirk their
duty in the selection Of candi-
dates, saying, II will wait until
the nominations are made, then
vote for the best man." 1t was
this same spirit that rendered
the old delegate and convention
system so obnoxious-the voters
would not attend the primaries,
leaving the work of selecting can
didates to the ward heelers and
cheap politicians.
No law that could be devised
by man will remedy political
conditions if the voters will not

offices and wisely and faithfully
perform the duties that pertain
thereto. Elk.
