WITHIN the last two years Tacoma,
WASH, has had five city elections and
is now preparing for another. And as
the possibilities of the recall are almost
limitless, there seems no reason why
Tacoma should not make city elections
monthly events, or as often as or 10
per cent of the voters feel that they
would like private entertainment at
public expense We were told here
that the direct primary was going to
kill off politicians and 'sgive the people
a chance" It's actual effect has been
to kill off people who are poor and to
make politics a rich mans game. We
are also told that the recall perfects
the process of killing off the politicians
and giving the people chance. Its
workings in Tacoma prove that it gives
the politicians a perpetual chance, while
the people pay the freight. With the
recall no aspirant for Office need ever
dispair. He can always get up re-
call petition against his successful OPP
ponent. Even if overwhelmingly de-
feated he has but to wait short time
Somebody will be disappointed by the
course of the man in Office, enough to
furnish forth recall petition. Fifty
years ago Abraham Lincoln spoke of
our political system as government
of the people, by the people and for
the people," With the recall it is
transformed into government Of sore
heads, by soreheads and for soreheads.
If you don't believe this look at Taco

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS.

ing it at prices they declared earlier in
the season they would not pay. Some
of the dealers affirm that lot of the
tobacco that was tested, coming from
various points of the country, would
not burn. Yet, in spite of everything,
the buyers were riding the country re-
Gently in all the bad weather we have
had, with the temperature many de-
grees below zero, and paying eleven,
eleven and a half and twelve cents.
Only few crops were bought at the
last-named figure, and some crops went
for ten cents, but that was ten-cent
tobacco.
When the news went around that the
buyers for the United Cigar Manufac-
turers Co. had been called in because
prices didn't suit, it was looked upon
as a sure sign of falling prices, but
they didn't fall. Neither the Eisen-
lohrs nor the American Cigar Co. have
been buying as heavily lately as they
were. There are number of LancaS-
ter packers who have not yet bought
pound, these being the dealers who are
waiting for prices to drop. It does not
appear that there is to be any scram-
bic for the crop, and it will very likely
be hanging fire long time yet. While
deliveries are going on they have not
yet reached high tide, and will not for
at least another month. The bad con-
dition Of the country roads will have a
tendency to curtail delivery.
The packers are passing through an
unusually dull period, and the trading
they are doing is of the smallest. The
1909 is about the only old tobacco they
have, and this is only selling in job lots

THE Stoughton Courier-Hub says it
has never favored a primary election
law. And yet, Notwithstanding it's op-
position to the law, it wanted to see
one honest test made where it would
be carried out both in letter and spirit
1t wanted to see one complete ticket
made up of men who were nominated
without taking any part in the initia-
tive themselves; without the influence
of boss, without any conference" or
slate making; in fact, complete tick
ct made up of men who pulled no wires,
whose names were never slated by any
boss nor agreed to by any conference
made up of cO-WOrkers and friends. 1t
has patiently waited for such test and
waited in vain. At no time since it's
enactment have the principles of the
law been given an opportunity to dem
OnStrate their value if they have any.
The older the law grows and the more
it is GOctored and remOdeled, the less
opportunity is given it to demonstrate
its utility. The presidential primary is
more of humbug and farce than the
older law and commands positively no
allegiance from it's founders and no re-
spect from its opponents, the latter
ridiculing it as a humbug simply be-
cause its authors and friends pay no re-
spect to its provisions. Only short
time ago the men responsible for the
primary election law met in Madison
and agreed upon both delegates to the
republican national convention from
this congressional district. Who went
from Stoughton to the conference"
If anybody, by what authority did he
go? No caucuses were held here; no
representative body of republicans met
here to choose delegate. If one went,
who sent him? Is this the way presi-
Dental primaries are to be run? Has
the bossed conference" superseded
the convention? But let us not forget
our subject. The people want an op-
portunity to test the primary law. Are
its authors going to give it to them?
If so, why not give it now? Why not
repudiate the man who, having for
wears condemned the convention, now
seeks honors at an institution which is
infinitely less representative, the make
shift conference" If a convention
were held, all of US would know about
it; but these sneaking, cOWardly "con-
ferences" can be pulled off any time a
few politicians happen to meet without
their existing being known outside their
own circle. If the conference" is the
natural carolary of the primary cleo
ton law, then the cure for the cOnven-
ton is ten thousand times worse than
the disease Before determining this
to be fact, let us give the primary an
opportunity to operate in letter and
spirit.

STATISTICS are quoted to show that
the amount of wealth destroyed by fire
each year represents loss of So per
capita. The foolish notion that the in
surance companies pay these losses is
an error. They are mere collectors
and distributors of that portion of this
tax which is represented by their poll
cies. The public pays the expense of
every fire. This being true, the man
who has a fire should be considered a
public offender, and he should be COM
palled to pay for the damage caused
the property of his neighbors. The
people feel that the fire tax is too high,
but how can the fire tax be lessened
except by reducing the cause of it?

Kansas City Journal: With every
speech La Toilette seems to be getting
deeper into the socalistic mire, where
well meaning insurgents" are reluc-
tant to follow. AS long as the Wiscon-
sin man merely rung the changes on
the initiative, referendum and recall he
was not especially radical from the pro-
gressive standpoint, but now he is be-
coming actually rabid. He is quoted in
the newspapers that are supporting
him as saying in one of his latest
speeches that ultimately "the govern
ment would have to fix prices of labor,
hours of employment and compensation
of original producers to fix accurately
the prices to be offered the consumers.
Is it any wonder that most of the in
surgents stand aghast at such talk?

''THE railroad over the sea, as the
Florida East Coast road is called, has
been completed, extending from the tip
of Florida over the Florida Keys. 1t
has been seven years in building and is
one of the engineering marvels OF the
age. Nearly six miles of concrete
arches, fifty to sixty feet to the span,
were built from one island to another
and nearly thirty islands were thus
crossed. One of these spanned con-
crete arch stretches is over two and a
half miles in length. The total length
of the road is 127 miles. One of the
objects of building the road was to ere

OUR supreme court has put its stamp
of disapproval upon the water power
law passed by the last legislature in
decision handed down Tuesday. The
court holds that private property can
not be taken for public use without due
compensation. So there seems to be

100 dams and water powers in the state
would be confiscated by this law.
