''TOO Much" Primary.

The people of Kansas seem to be
wearying of primaries, and the cause
is plain. The Secretary of State hg-
ures It out that this year they will have
to sort out and elect ten State officials,
three Supreme Court justices, one
United States Senator, eight Congress
men, ten Presidential electors, forty
State Senator's, I25 State Representa-
tives, and a number of county officers.
-Four parties will have candidates for
the State Offices. There will be at least
three candidates for each county posi-
ton, and, assuming that there are two
for every place in the primaries, the
Secretary of State estimates that there
are 5000 men who have been circulating
petitions, the vast number of which, ac-
roording to his opinion, make the voters
Of Kansas tired"
His suggestion of a way out of the
difficulty is to do away with the peti-
ton method and to have each candidate
pay an entrance fee, ranging from SI5o
for an aspirant to gubernstorial honors
to $40 for humble oficeseekers. This
may be sound advice from the view
point of the Office of the Secretary of
State, and would relieve his staff of a
lot of work, but would that be the right
spirit in such a progressive State?
What no doubt would be a good
thing for Kansas is a combination of all
the primaries of the different parties
into one for all elective Offices, to be
itd the same day.

Using The Drag ON Roads.

When the County Commissioners
made their annual report to the
presiding Judge last month they Of
fered to furnish split log drags to
whoever would work them on the
neighboring section Of road. Since
then drags have been furnished to
Mr.. ]. H. Christmas for work
around Ovens Mil, and In the Man
chester section; 70 Mr.. M. II. Beck
for work on the Pocotaligo road and
80 Mr. +. " Parker for work around
Dalzell. The commissioners have
promises from several others to take
the drags as soon as the weather will
permit the use Of them.
Supervisor Pitts says the cold and
rain have ruined roads that never
were bad before, and on guess he
would say it will take six months
work to bring the roads into the con-
dition they were in the first of De-
cember. Roads through swamps that
had been drained and raised and
bridged have been flooded once more
and many washouts have been made
in seemingly high placs.
