st. Paul, April 16.-Something like
ten years ago Minnesota adopted the
primary plan for the nomination of
candidates for public office. The idea
was in its infancy then and the legis-
lature practically enacted it under
protest. l have not at my finger ends
the executive who gave it his official
signature-it could not have been
Dave Clough and it might have been
S. r. Van SAINT who came next-but at
any rate it has been on the statute
books ever since with little change as
to it's provisions. The author of the
law, who was one Of the first to seek
its aid in a return to his legislative
job, went to the discard never to ap-
pear again and it's active supporters
are now plying other Vocations, many
of them dead. AS l said that was ten
years ago and since then the biennial
elections of candidates for public Of
fee held under that law have been
more replete with hypocrisy and cor
ruption than ever in the history of the
state. The theory of the primary was
all right, but the draft of the act as
placed on the statute books and which
has remained intact ever since failed
in the matter of results. Five sessions
of the legislature have seen bills d.
rected at it's correction, but they
failed. Few advocated it's repeal, but
they wanted it bettered Those who
did want 1t repealed knew better than
TO push their demand. The public
would not stand for return to the
convention system. So it has con-
tinued until running for Office has
come to be looked upon as something
only for those properly financed and
backed. What was an abuse has prac-
tically been legalized.
!. + =
The above looks like an attack on
the whole primary election principle,
but it is not. 1t is simply for the pur-
pose Of serving notice on a few OBJ
structionists that they are playing a
poor game and that they will rue the
day they started back fire, for if
public opinion counts for anything a
bill for a statewide primary will be
introduced at the next session of the
legislature and it will be passed Woe
be to the individual who opposes or
causes its defeat. He will be over
whelmed in the deluge that will fol
low. AS the old saw runs, might is
right" and the true sport seldom
hollers even if he is aware that some
sharp practices have been used in
bringing about his defeat. That is
about where the minority in the presi-

If the Virginia state bonds, valued
at over 100000 and now held by
Minnesota to the credit of the perma-
nent school fund, are sold it will be
over the vigorous protest of former
State Auditor Dunn. The old warrior
aided the state in purchasing them,
and at figure far below par, and in
his official organ, the Princeton Union,
he jumps on State Treasurer Smith
with both feet for even suggesting
their SALE This is the third time the
sale of the Virginia bonds for reinvest-
ment in local securities has been pro-
posed and Mr.. Dunn asks the question
why these particular bonds always
are selected whenever the agitation
for more money for loaning purposes
comes up. He insists that if the bonds
are sold it be at par and he wants
law passed making such compulsory
in the case of all outside securities
held by the state.

CARD OF THANKS

FRANKLIN, LA, Feb. %, 1912.
We, the ladies of the Episcopal
Church, wish 10 express to the
public our thanks and apprecia-
ton for making our Mardi Gras
ball success. Especially do we
wish to thank the Individuals who
so generously contributed to our
church fund.

Pres. Altar Society, Episcopal
Church.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1912-02-24

The public roads in the parish
of st. Mary are far from being in
a good condition. This is, how
ever. to be expected, when we
consider the almost continuous
rainy weather which prevailed for
a long time previous to the fret
part of the present month. But the
roads are dry now, and still they
are we'll nigh impossible in some
parts of the parish on account of
the ruts ana holes in them. It
behooves the parish authorities to
see to it that the roads are atten-
ton to at ONCE. The holes and
ruts should be filled up imme-
diately, the roads properly
worked, and sufficient drainage
should be provided for to carry
the water away from them when
the flooding rains come. The
people have a right to demand
this Of the Police Jury; the blame
and responsibility for the present
condition of our public roads are
on the members of that body.
The duty is theirs to care for, and
keep the public roads at least In
fair condition. They have &C.
cepted that trust, and the people
expect them to fulfill it. It has
been so frequently said, that in
this low, fiat country of ours. we
can only have good roads in good
weather, and we must have bad
roads in bad weather. That may
be SO to a certain extent; bad
weather naturally make the roads
bad, but there is no reason under
the sun why the public roads
should BECOME generally impass-
able, no matter what kind of
weather we have, if the author
tiles do their duty in caring for
them. The BANNER makes this
criticism in no captious spirit,
but because the interest of the
