COST OF PRIMARIES.
Nevada Representative.


The question OF financing the pro.
posed presidential primary in Iowa ap-
pears TO be accorded exaggerated i'm
portance by those who were early in
proposal of the primary, but have since
seemed to have a diminishing interest
in the subject. OF course the expense
would necessarily vary somewhat with
the number OF matters that might be
referred to the primary; but in Story
county for many years before the pas
sage OF the state primary law county
primaries were regularly held. and the
county committee was always able TO
pay the expense and have considerable
lett over out OF fee of s. apiece col
lected from candidates who desired 10
have their names appear on the ticket
There is an abundance Of volunteer
agencies that are always subject to call
OF the party organization, and there is
no occasion-unless it be in some cities
to estimate upon any expense for the
services of judges and clerks Of cleo
ton during the hours necessary for the
primary. Ii there be cities where re-
publicans Of repute Will not serve
without charge, the county commit
tees OF the counties Including such cit
such contingency. And similarly as to
polling places.
The actual necessities Of the pri-
mary are one poll book for each pre-
cinct and an envelope to put ii in, and
an ample supply OF ballots containing
the names of r. VI. 1aFolictte and W.
II. Ta<t-and OF any other party who
might be sufficiently petitioned for.
The current price for the poll books is
81 apiece. and for the envelopes
printed-I0 cents. TIE cost Of the lit
tie ballots printed in quantities, would
De Insignificant: and our idea OF bal
lots for delegates for the county con-
vention to be elected at the time OF the
primary and to carry its will into eff
feet would be that they should be To-
cally supplied and separately voted.
Story county's share Of the cost OF poll
books, envelopes and presidential bal
iots-all Of which we think II would be
economy to have furnished by the state
committee-Inight amount TO $40.
II no simpler resource showed up, we
think We could raise that amount in
Story county in very short time by
means Of and 10 cent contributions
from republicans who are looking for
just suc: an opportunity as the pri-
mary would afford them to express
their opinion of Taft. II it should be
found advisable for good and sufficient
rea sons to add somewhat to the ex-
penditure. it might be possible to raise
proportionately the contribution.

Much dissatisfaction is expressed by
the people living in the towns on the
Belmond branch with the present time
table OF the Iowa Central railway. Clt-
zens here wishing to so to the country
and get home the same day must take
the train from 8 to S o'clock IN the
morning. Business men coming into
Hampton from the east or north on
night trains can not take passenger
train home until p, m. Why such
change was made no one seems to
know. And the management of the
Iowa Central will certainly consult
their own interests if they change
these trains back to the old schedule.

Alexander Oct 10 Just why the
burglar fraternity pIcn out hard aare
stores sor their opere lions IS hard to
understand unless il is 70 help them
selves 70 reviewers and ammunition.
The same night the store OF WaddiAg-
ton and Company, Geneva, was broken
into ard the safe blown, two other
hardware stores in Iowa received al
most identical treatment. In each case.
in addition 70 attempting safe robbery,
the money drawers were emptied OF
small change and the finest revolveTs
carried away. Many hardware men
are hanging on their safe doors big
r!acatd this safe not locked" and
taxing out even the pennies from the
cash drawer, ANA hiding lheir stock Of
reviewers y.hsre said burglars will not
be likely TO find them. At Genera the
safe blow ers little knew ot their per-
sonal danger. The dynamite or nitro
glycerine used in addition to blowing
open the safe door. also blew hole
thru the 7oor and not three feet away

thankful that they were not also
blown up and avoid such technical
errors III the future.
More and more the doctors are
punching up-their Offices. One lady
bookkeeper attends to the reception
room for four to six doctors. She
makes out the bills for all Of them, and
when the unusual occurs and some one
wants to pay the doctors bill she
takes the money and receipts for all
the doctors accounts. If this is not a
trust it Is surely a combine.
What is it about a crowd of girls be-
longing to a snow troupe at the depots
to take the train, that makes them
look so differently from the same
number going away to school? It BY
no means follows that show girl Is
bad girl any more than it is sure q
school girl is good girl, but there is
the difference in looks one notices
every time they take the train. 1t must
be said these show girls behave full as
well in public places as school girls on
the trip away from home, sometimes
better, and yet there is an undescrib-
able air and manner about show girli

OF course Senator Stephenson could

matter of fact, there is no reason
why Iowa's big state fair, with its
large property owned by the state, its
prestige and it's location, should not
be able to take care of itself, without
a state subsidy. We all want a great
state fair, and the surest way to make
such a fair is by the development Of
great county and district fairs bear
ing the same helpful relation to the
state fair that the rural and graded
and high schools each in their turn
bear to the college and university Of
the state.
Just how much the state should do
for the state fair and how much It
should financially encourage the coun-
~ and district fairs is open TO argu
ment However, no amount Of merely
financial encourag cement" from the
state Will ever make a great county
fair. 1t is a question for argument
as to how much state aid any fair

ceive from the state II Is mainly
successful by reason of mana cement
not because Of such assistance as they
receive directly from the STATE treas
Try. Another fair under incompetent
management might be total failure

petent directorate might have to play
ducks and brakes with.
Moreover the Bremen and Marshall
fairs are successful because they are
