Primary Election Law
We pledge our legislative candi-
dates to the enactment OF sweeping
amendments to the present primary
law. which in it's self is nothing short
OF farcial. We favor such amend
ments that will prohibit voters from
flocking from one standard 10 an
other without declaration Of their
political faith. We believe in the
sanctity of the ballot and urge that
secrecy be continued. but are oppos-
ed to the present construction of the
primary law that allows fraud being
perpetrated.

Pearl Lee had Just moved out, but while
in the house about eight o'clock lamp
exploded setting fire to the house which
burned down quickly, having set fire to
the milk room, but men had gathered
and put out the last fire, and after the

blowing from the barns the horse barn
was discovered to be on fire, which in
turn fired the large barn, and the two
were speedily consumed, leaving only
the milk room standing. 1t is stated

must keep the flies away from the cows
by spraying the cows with Cattle Oil.
If you want to get your hay and grain
harvested in seasonable time, especially
when it is so hot, you must have
plenty of wholesome bread, pies and cake
for the men and boys to eat which will
necessitate the getting of one or more
barrels of the choicest flour.

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

During the last two or three months
the rebels in Mexico have encountered
severe defeats and their forces now
seem to be disorganized and the rebel
lion as a concentrated movement is
practically ended. Henceforth a guer-
rilla warfare with the zone Of fighting
considerably reduced may be expected.
Saturday five trains carried the sol
diers and records Of the Orozco gov
of the city of Chihuahua, which has
been the capital of the rebels. They were
taken TO Juarez, opposite FL Paso, the
only city OF any importance in the
possession OF the insurgents.
The rebels have announced their
purpose 10 move their forces into the
state OF Sonora. 1t Is evident that the
backbone of the rebellion is broken,
though scattered fighting may be kept
up for a while. The present plan of
the rebel leader takes the rebel troops
a hundred miles or so north of the
American frontier, and there will be,
with this change, much relief from
anxiety in Washington.
/ Some thousands OF American troops
have been kept in Texas near the Dor
der to maintain neutrality and if nee
/ essary TO cross the line and protect
American and other foreign residents
/ II is 10 be hoped that the Madero gov
eminent may be able soon TO restore
order in the disturbed districts anC
that Mexico will be permitted TO re
cover. in cultivating the arts of peace
and promoting industry, from the in
furious effects Of the Instruction!
which have kept ii back during the las
two or three years.

A RIGHTEOUS REVOLT.

They are wrought up over the Gus

made to have the members of con-

LETTERS DO GOOD.
1t has been found by previous exper-
bers of congress as a few personal
letters from their constituents. News
papers may editorialize and the maya
zines may print special articles. and
local associations may pass resolu-
tions galore, but the fact remains that
none of these things have as much in
! tiuence with the member of congress
as letters from the voters who gave
him his Office.
The advantages of good roads are so
obvious that it is hardly considered
necessary longer to cite figures TO
prove the contention that something
should be done. The democrats in
congress have taken the position that
some of the millions now wasted, in
the upkeep of the useless navy yards,
and in the employment of commits.

look at all the people that would be
put out Of making living-the store
keepers and their clerks and deliy-
cry boys and such. The municipal
stores wouldn't have jobs enough TO
go around, and when you haven't got
a job or some way of earning money,
even low prices don't help much.
Maybe some of the stores charge
too much, but 1t isn't the small
stores that are making a lot OF
money-unless it's the man who has
chain OF small stores in a city.
That's getting to be quite the thing.
1t isn't fair to the single store keep
er, though, because he can't buy in
big enough quantities to get price
reductions, and the other fellow can
undersell him until he is driven out
of the neighborhood. Then up go
the prices again.
1T seems to me a city could do
! better than having municipal stores,
by forbidding one man to run a chain
of stores, or a big concern opening
retail stores everywhere.

works to earn his living. He's up
