A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

want to put your finger on Dallam,
or the policy of his paper, he's
there-not gone or shifted with the
breezes that are always blowing
around the newspaper man.
o.
The republicans of North Dakota
held a primary last week to ex-
press a preference for a presidential
candidate. United States Senator
Lafollette of Wisconsin, the original
insurgent Or progressive republican,
literally swept the state. His ma
jority over Roosevelt was over
whelmine, while the vote received
by President Taft was hardly large
enough to figure at all in the final
returns If the republicans all
over the country were allowed to
express themselves for a presiden-
tial candidate it is not probable
that Taft would Get the nomination.
Perhaps Lafollette and Roosevelt
would both defeat him. But, for
instance, take the South. There is
scarcely any republican party in
the South except those who sit at
the federal pie colnter-those who
hold the jobs and collect the salary.
The republican party in the south;
that is, the men who control the
republican party in the South, can
be depended upon to line up for
the man for a second term who is
already president. And this action
is taken in the interest of their
jobs, if for no other reason, The
South has but little to do with the
election of a republican president,
but you can safely bet your sweet
life that the republican job-holders
of the South, who control state con-
ventions and elect delegates to the
national convention, have a whole
lot to do with the nomination of
the republican candidate for presi-
dent.
{" :;
Speaking of presidential prefer
ence primaries, the time may not
be far distant when presidential
candidates Of both the old parties
will be named directly by the peo-
pie through a primary in the var
ious states. Several states are
naming their choice for president
this year through the primary. AS
the idea that the people should
rule grows the idea grows that the
people should name the presiden-
tial candidate Really, now, what
good argument can be used against
itY
: " ::
A few months ago at a meeting
of the State Democratic Central
Committee of Arkansas, held at
Little Rock, a resolution was intro
duced allowing the democrats of
this state to declare themselves on
the question of q candidate for
president, but Ii was defeated
through the influence and activi-
ties of United States Senator James
?, Clarke. What good purpose
could have been served by Senator
Clarke when he caused the defeat
of this resolution Is not clear. A
good many people have a knowl-
edge Of how a state Is sometimes
instructed for presidential candi-
date. A few years ago In the state
democratic convention at Hot
Springs u resolution was passed
1.-THE Lord only positively knows
how the trick was donel endorsing
the candidacy Of Alton B, Parker
Of New York for president, That
settled 1t; Arkansas was for Parker,
because a small bunch of state con-
vention delegates had said 50. But
perhaps in the entire state not a
thousand voters entertained a per-

new YORK STOCK MARKET
Irregulsrity and Reaction Again

MANY DECLINES At OPENING
whole List Manifests Some Iaciina
tIon Towards Betterment in
second Hour on Favorable
News Adyices-

NEW YORK, April p-The course OF
today's stock market was again In thS
direction OF irresnlsrity anu reaction.
Deal.ngs were scarcely more than mod
crate and Tor the greater part OF the
brief session the undertone was distinctly
uncertain.
rhe opening showed a vast majority OF
declines. some over one point, notable
in Canadian Pacific and Rock Island
preferred. while acute weakness was re-
flected In American smelling and some
OF tho more standard issues. United
states Steel. which also held It's place
as the most active Of all stocks, was
under selling pressure at the outset, and
other surface indications suggested u re-
Hegal OF opeI atoms for the short account.
In otBer ways the tone OF the list pointed
to an overbought condition and uneasi.
ness over the political situation.
American Can common. which re.
peated Its familiar performances OF re-
cording a new high record, was an ex.
ception TO the general trend, though
rumors as 10 the prospects Of the divi-
bends are not encouraged by the con-
servative faction Identified with the
property. American Tobacco gained one
point.
The whole list manifested some inelins-
tion towards be.tetment In the second
hour on advices from Philadelphia thai
q settlement Of the anthracite coal situa-
ton might be reached before the end
OF the day. Another important factor
Was the announcement of a further adj
vance In the price Of steel bars by one
OF the Steel corporations largest sub
salaries. Final prices were In most
cases the best OF the day, with many
fractional gains and n sprinkling OF
equally unimportant losses
There were several interesting features
TO the bank statement other than the
large, actual decrease in loans. this item
contracting by over ~. 600 ,0o0 The cash
gain Of about sS0p,ooo was more than
double all estimates, and the Increase In
reserve OF slightly more than $1,000. 90
brought the excess cash reserves up 10
about iis0oooo. II was evident from the
Sl30o0,e0 loan increase reported by the
non-member banks and trust companle,
that the burden OF the week had beer
shifted TO their shoulders.
The bond market was irregular today
the sole feature being the activity ane
strength OF Wabash refunding n, which
rose "a per cent on cireumstantiai re.
ports Of an early settlement OF the iiti
cation with the Wabash Pittsburgh
Terminal railway. Total sales par value
amounted to 81 as2.ooo. United States gov

matleaily avoided an answer to the query
whether or not he believed that public
markets should be established In other
sections Of the city.
But while Washington market with Its
special decorations, It's flags and Its In

ernor Dix at Albany was signing q pro-
gressivs bill which may have more effect
on the cost OF living than agitation for
market buying. and which should At
least eliminate much fraud from the sale
Of foodstuffs in New York. This law,
requires that all food sold in packages
shall have the net weight plainly In.
dieated In every case. II also provides
that not only shall the prepared foods
and bottled stuffs have the net weigh;
CT amount OF fluid plainly marked on
them, but that butter, meat. meat prod
rcts, many other food stuffs and Ice
shall be sold only by weight. The asita-
ton OF which this Law Is the result grew
largely out OF gIaring frauds which we're
exposed by the bureau Of weights and
measures That bureau is described as
exhibiting many short.weight packages
where the amount Of food contained is
hardly two-thirds Of the box's capacity,
other packages with one weight marked
