Mining Law Revision

A time advances the conviction
gains ground that Congress will at
an early day undertake the revisior
of the mining laws of the United
States, including the statutes which
affect the domain containing the
precious metals. The American
I1ining Congress has tiken a lead
ing position with respect to the
subject, and it proposes that the
national lawmakers appoint a COM
mission to fully digest the various
questions which experience has
rliscd. Again. a recent communi-
cation of the committe on mining
law of the Mining and Metallurgi

The Presidential
Primary Question

In support OF the bill introduced 10
the Maryland legislature providing for
presidential primary, Senator Ray
Ter, at a banquet given by the mer-
chants and manufacturers of Balti-
more. said: Il believe that the people
of this state and OF the United States
Rave the right to nominate their can
didates at primary elections without
any arbitrary declaration by caucus
or a convention, or by any power or
Influence that can obstruct or impede
their action"
Mr.. Rayners statement applies with
much force TO the election OF dele
gates to the national conventions.
Nearly every citizen OF the United
States is concerned in the selection OF
the president, but the people have no
means of making choice. They can
elect the president, but cannot select
him. All they can do when the Demo
cratic convention names its candi-
date and the Republican convention
does likewise, is TO make choice
between the two tickets put forth. al
though neither one OF the candidates
for president may be acceptable.
The object of the presidential pri-
mary bill pending before the Mary
lond legislature is to give the people
an opportunity of making a selection
from the whole field and not merely
one OF two men. There will always
he political leaders and political or
CARNATIONS" says Senator Raynor:
"but back OF the leaders and BACK OF
the organizations is the irresistible
force of the American people. The
issue is now come and the people, led
.ly patriots, are in the field determined
to be free"
Some eight or nine states have al
ready adopted the presidential prl-
mary plan of electing delegates to the
national conventions. and a number OF
others are preparing to get into line
with them.-New Orleans States.

Senator LaFollette.

Thousands of personal friends and
admirers of Senator LaFollette regret
the serious illness that compeis him
TO temporarily lay aside his work AND
AXE 3 rest. He has been ureless
worker for the cause OF the people
and has made Wisconsin famous as
q progressive and reform state. The
nation needs bold fighters against
wrong and injustice. The Wisconsin
senator has for years been called an
anarchist and a tsturber and dan
gerous man: but the people are be
thinning to wake up to the fact that
he is more often right than wrong.
He saw farther ahead than anybody
else. That Is all.
= THOUSANDS and thousands or friends
who have not wholly agreed with him,
