DIRECT PRIMARY IN NEW YORK.
How the Changers of the Empire State
Really Feel

From the Rural New-Yorker we
CLEAN the facts regarding a story
given considerable prominence in the
reactionary papers, to the effect that
President Schurman of Cornell at
tackled the principle of direct nomna-
tions in an address to large Pomona
meeting in New York. AS nothing
else was said the inference was that
the farmers agreed with DR.. Schur-
man. That is about as near as the
daily papers usually come to report
ing any meeting which is supposed to
express farm feeling. The fact is that
before DR.. Schurman spoke a Grange
speaker made the following state
ment:
The Grange never asked for re-
form or the enactment of a law help
full and beneficial to Grangers un-
less the reform and the law was
helpful and beneficial to all
classes of society. In the dis
cernment of needed reforms
the Grange is in advance of the
shrewdest political economists. The
Grange was in favor of the regulation
of railway rates before Theodore
Roosevelt was in favor of their regu-
lation; the Grange was in favor of
placing the surface corporations of
this state under commission before
Gov. Hughes was in favor of such
regulation. The Grange was in favor
of a change in our nominating cleo
ton laws whereby the enrolled party
voters can vote direct for the candi-
date of their choice at an official pri-
mary election, before Gov. Hughes
was in favor of such reform.
The crowd cheered and applauded
this, for 1t expressed their sentiments.
The Grange and intelligent farmers
generally favor direct primary nomi-
nations and know that under our
present political system politicians
have them at a disadvantage. 1t was
after this outburst of applause that
DR.. Schurman came forward with his
argument against direct nominations
He claimed that similar pure demo-
cracy" killed Rome and Athens, and
that New York and Buffalo would
control the state. His argument fell
like a wet blanket There was not
even a perfunctory cheer or hand
clap.
When you try to act smart, people
say, He's putting that on" but it's
real with T. r.

International ExpOsi
ton.

San Francisco is determined to be
the city in which the completion of
the Panama canal will be celebrated.
1915 is fixed for the event. Already,
five years ahead, Chas. S. Fee, chair
man, Committee on Publicity and Ex-
ploitation, is urging all friends of
San Francisco to request their repre-
sentatives in Congress to select San
Francisco as the celebration city. New
Orleans and Washington are also as
pirants, the City of the Golden Gate
appears to have a long lead.
Among the interesting claims now
zens of San Francisco have sub
$500, ,000-and that the City and
State of California will add as much
or more that 80 per cent of the peo-
pie who take vacations do so in the
summer, and one of the factors in
fiuencing their destination is cool
climate; that Contrary, possibly, to
general belief in the East cool sum-
mer climate is San FranciscO's s
strongest card, temperature averag-
ing SO degrees, which is only de-
RTeS5 higher tudu NiHleI ludI thV
new San Francisco built in the past
four years at a cost of 100000, 900, Is
the last word In great cities, and in
itself is a magnificent exposition of
everything modern and beautiful in
structure and the things that stand
for a clean, healthy place to live and
do business; that it is best equipped
in hotels, and finally that the sue
cess, financially and otherwise, of
the exposition is assured from the
fact that experience has shown that
rs per cent of the attendance at
previous great expositions came from
within a radius of $50 miles, and as
San Francisco and the cities around
it's bay within 80 minutes ride have
population of 100000, within so
miles of San Francisco 100000, and
within $50 miles 100000, the people
nearby can be depended upon to make
it go as we'll as to give sufficient life
and snap to insure a pleasant recep-
ton for those coming from a dis
tance.
By its enterprise at this early date
San Francisco sets an example worth
following to all cities ambitious to
hold great International expositions
which usually are slow in commenc-
ing their preparations and incomplete
and disappointing at their opening,
thus resulting in unfavorable impress
sions being widely circulated that
cannot be fully corrected by the best
of later efforts.

cry Stock

Secretary Frederick Cranfeld of
Madison, has sent out letter to the
members of the Wisconsin state horti-
cultural society warning them against
a clever nursery fraud that is being
worked in various parts of the country
and asking those who hear of the plan
being worked to report to him. Mr.
Craneield's letter follows:
"We have reason TO believe that a
clever nursery swindle is about to be
started in this state, if not all ready
begun, and the assistance of every
member is needed to catch the swindlers
and put them out of business.
Their scheme will probably be some
thing as follows: Trees will be offered
for sale which are guaranteed to be
free from a dangerous disease known
as 'Blackheart' and clipping will be
shown probably from your home paper,
in which appears a statement from one
representing himself as assistant United
States forester regarding this fictitious
disease.
eff any agent or solicitor appears
making such representations take care
full note of his statement and report,
telegraph or telephone. 1 have posi-
tive pIoOl lfldl uo suCH pcFSOIl 10 cOD-
nected with the forest service at Wash

statement and then notify me at once
He is also badly wanted at Washinton
and if you hear of him notify the for
est service, Washington, d. G. and also
this office. I"

OUR ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETINC

We urge every parent to attend the
annual school meeting and get in touch
with the needs and work of our public
schools. Nothing else is so vital to the
welfare of democracy as the public
school, for public education is the foun-
dalton of democracy. There is no other
investment of money that we can make
that will give us such great returns in
wealth, in comfort, in all things that
make life worth living.
Why is it that hog is now worth
the price of a COW of twenty years ago,
COW of horse, and team of horses
of a farm? Is it not knowledge that
has increased the productiveness of ev-
cry acre, and knowledge that has given
US transportation facilities and a re-
frigerator service that has opened the
markets of the world? 1t is not the
saving of pennies that makes fortune
but the knowledge of how to make the
raw material laying at our hand into
valuable products, that makes money.
IL is knowledge that makes the rocky
hillside, the swamp land and the great
American desert as productive of wealth
as the alluvial prairies of Illinois.
So, friends, let US attend that school
meeting with the idea that we each in
dividually are investing our money in
the biggest paying gold mine that was
ever discovered and squeeze every dol.
lar that we can towards making the
equipment better, and endorse every
scheme that will make our children
morally, mentally and physically bet
ter, knowing that nothing else can give
US a like assurance for comfort anC
prosperity in our old age, and for the
wealth and happiness of our children
and our children's children.
Annual school meeting occurs at high
school on Tuesday evening, July 5th,

TAKE NOTICE.

1t is not generally known, perhaps,
that we have an ordinance in this city
which prohibits the shooting of fire
crackers on Main street between South
street and Gillette street, and for sew
eral blocks east and west of Main
street. Such however is the case. In
view of the fact that everything is ex-
tremely dry il is necessary that we
should be very careful about fires and
especially so in shooting fire crackers
in the business part of the city. With
the cooperation of parents and older
people the danger can be practically
avoided. The policemen are hereby di-
rccted to enforce above mentioned or.
dinance.
