The Primary Call.

It is to be regretted that the
Committee failed to adopt the
resolution offered by Mr.. C. N.
Campbell prohibiting the fixing"
of primary ballots outside of the
polls. It4would have gone long
way to prevent vote buying and
toward disaualifying the corrupt.
Already there are indications
that the grey wolves who serve
their masters, the liquor and al
lied crooked corporation interests,
are setting their pegs to slip some
Of their. tools into Office via the
Democratic primaries. They are
past masters in the art of political
manipulation, and work secretly
but very surely to accomplish
their ends. They will get in their
work if the most constant vigil
lance is not exercised.
Already, from outside sources,
are the sinews of war being pro-
vided, to debauch, if possible, the
electorate of our fair county.
A communityg generally gets the
kind of government it deserves,
If the decent people take so little
interest in their own affairs as tc
allow the hoodlums to control
they deserve all they get.
There are very many more
honest than corrupt voters in the
county. They can if they will
make abortive the efforts of the
corrupt interests by secret COM
bines or otherwise to debauch the
primary voters.
The good citizens Of the Goun.
ty can dominate its affairs if they
really wantto.esIt is up to them

takes no interest in politics be

beneath the contempt of rec
blooded men.

The Prohibition Party.

1t is presumed that the Prohi-
bition party hopes to see the Pro-
hibition Amendment carry at the
polls this fail, and yet they have
probably already contributed
more to its defeat. than any other
agency could possibly do. By
putting full ticket in the field,
with the knowledge that it can
not possibly win, but may draw
temperance votes from both the
other great political parties, they
have made of what should be a
moral issue, a political one, and
gone far to justify the criticisms
of those who condemn the Prohi-
bitten party as narrow, fanatical
and impractical.

When The Green GIFTS Back in The
Trees.

BY JAMES WHITCoMB RILEY.
In the spring when the green gifts back
in the trees,
And the sun comes out and stays,
And your boots pull on with good
tight squeeze,
And you think of your barefoot days;
When you ort to work and you want to
not,
And you and yer wife agrees
It's time to spade up the garden lot
When the greene gifts back in the trees
Well. work is the least Of my idees :
When the green, you know, gifts back
on the trees.
When the green gifts back in the trees,
and bees
Is a buzzin' around agin,
In that kind of q. lazy : go-as-you-
please,
Old gait they hum roun' in;
When the grounds all bald where the
hayrick stood,
And the crick s riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dogWood,
And the green gifts back in the trees
/ like. as say, in sich scenes as these,
The time when the green gifts back in
the trees
When the whole tail feathers O. winter
time
Is all pulled out and gone,
And the sap it thaws and begins to
climb.
And the sweat it starts out on
A feIlerss 'forrerd. Citing down
At the old spring on his knees
I kind o. jes, like loaferin, round,
When the green gifts on the treee
Jes' potterin' 'roun as I-durn
please
When the green. you know, gifts back
on the trees.
