The Direct Primary.

The direct primary in the nomina-
ton of candidates from constable I'D
to United States senator was heralded
as the means of purifying corruption,
says the Occur d'Alene Press, but the
disclosure in the investigation of the
charges against Senator Stephenson,
of Wisconsin, show that it cost him
over 100000 to be nominated by di-
rect primary, the nomination being
equivalent to election. The last cam
paign in this state was another exam
pie of the fact that the direct primary
is a rich mans law and totally i'm
potent in stopping corruption. 1t is
generally believes, and has never been
contradicted, that the two leading
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor spent anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 in the fight.
It was seldom that such charges
were made against candidates before
a nominating convention. What has
been gained by the direct primary in
this or any other state more than a
heavy increase in the cost of running

midas INCREASING

USE OF OPIUM.
The effort of the Chinese Govern
ment, acting in cooperation with the
United States and the British Govern
ment, to suppress the opium trade and
the use of the pestiferous juice of the
poppy have led to an unexpected devel-
opment in India. 1t much resembles
the case of the amateur plumber who
in trying to mend leal1y pipe succeed
ed in making the leak worse than ever.
Three years ago, when the opium
crusade was inaugurated, the United
States did much good by suppressing
entirely the opium traffic in the Phil
ippines. England and China got to-
gether with a compromise by which
it was agreed that India would reduce
one-tenth each year of its expectation
of opium to China, provided that China
would likewise diminish one-tenth
each year it's internal production of the
poppy. Ten years would thus extin-
guish both phases of the business.
In three years China, doing vastly
better than the Anglo-Chinese agree
ment called for, has cut down it's pro-
duction of opium three-fourths. I'm
portation from India in contrast has di-
minished less than three-tenths.
And in India the use of opium, as
shown by statistics published in the
Times of India, is increasing by leaps
and bounds. In the Bombay Presidency
alone the consumption of the drug is
increasing at the rate of thousands
of pounds per year. The official Stats
tics of 1906 show that in Bombay Pres
idency 1886 pounds of opium were
consumed and in the four succeeding
years 74,554 pounds, 82,S07 pounds, S.
SIS pounds, and 90,779.
The Chinese Parliament by resolu-
ton and great numbers of Chinese peo-
pie by popular petition have called on
Great Britain to forthwith abolish all
imports of opium from India INFO
China. In that case China promises
that it will root every poppy out Of
Chinese soil in one year.

CHASED MoRMoNs OUT.

KAMRAR QaJ, Aug. 31.-Two
elders of the Mormon church left this
city afoot today with the din of many
dishpans echoing in their ears.
The elders were making proselyting
speeches last night when a crowd Of
women, beating vigorously on kitchen
tinware, created such a pandemonium
that the speakers could not be heard.
Mormon sympathizers sought to repel
the assault by throwing water on the
women, but at this point the husbands
and brothers took a hand and after
lively fistcuffs the meeting was broken
up.
A few members of the dishpan bri-
gade were out again today beating
quick step time to the departure of
the missionaries.

ROME, September 1.-THE an
nouncement is made by the art au-
thorities at Rome of the discovery OF
the Sabine Farm which Maecenas
gave to Horace, the poet. Researches
to determine the site of the villa led
to a spot known as Vignati-Corte,
near Licenza.
Excavations have now brought to
view undoubted evidence Of the poets
residence. Primitive wall panels have
been found, and a mosaic pavement of
the Augustan epoch. The villa stood
on the top of hill, confined on two
sides by the little stream Digentia.
In front of the dwelling portion OF
the house was a garden of consider
able size, surrounded with arcades. In
the middle of the garden a basin or
pool has been uncovered, more than
go feet in length, and connected with
the stream. To the left of the in
closed garden the ruins of a large
farmhouse are to be SEEM A frigid-
arium, a large basin, and the cores
ponding calidarium have been re-
vealed.
The central structure of the villa,
with its splendid mosaics, extends to
the margin of the Digentia. Every
feature of the interior gives the i'm
preston that it was once rich in
statuary and mural paintings A large
number of artistic fragments have
been found
"And all of this" remarks a jour
nal, will give joy to rich American
