AN OLD CLAIM,

One of the oldest claims against
the government. ii is reported, Is to
be revived by Mrs. Julia Garner, OF
Denver. a great-great- grandniece OF
Robert Morris. one of the signers Of
the Declaration of independence.
Morris, who was a man of wealth
and member of a Leaning mercantile
firm in Philadelphia. figured proml-
nently in several capacities in the
work of establishing the Republic,
not only in political service, but as
a financier In 1871 he was chosen
9y congress the financial superlnten-
dent of the confederation Of states, at
a time when ii was in desperate
straits for money. Morris advanced
money OF his own and borrowed
large amounts on his personal credit
for the national cause, the total
amount raised by his personal ehorts
being it is said, about $1,400,000, 1t
is claimed that this money was new
er repaid him. In 1898 Morris bust
ness affairs went to wreck, and he
was incarcerated in debtors prls-
on, where he was confined until
1854. He died in poverty in 1906
attempts have been made by
descendants of Robert Morris to
have congress make restitution OF
the amount or part Of the loan, but
nothing has come OF these efforts.
Mrs. Garner has gathered the evi-
dence bearing on Morris sacrifices
for mis- country. but whether the
claim is considered unsustained, or
out Of date. or whether Republics
are ungrateful, the chances Of hay-
Ing ii granted are not promising

nomination OF the most ooJectioh
able man. The corrupt elements in
lpolitics unite for the success OF their
| candidate, while the decent voters
divide between several candidates,
thereby making ii possible for the
candidate of the Objectionable ele-
ment TO win. If the winners were
required 10 have majority OF all
the votes cast this objection might
be removed. but such thing in a
freedor- an primary could not be. In
short the Missouri primary law is an
expensive. senseless and disgusting
method OF nominating candidates for
office and ought 10 be repealed at
once.
a more general and equally Nehem-
ent criticism OF the primary system
is made by the Daily Oklahoman.
After explaining that the primary
election in four eastern states this
spring is estimated to have cost So
100000, the Oklahoman says:
Not only does the primary sys-
tenn open the way for the eNpendi-
ture of vast amounts of money, but
il makes il practically impossible
for the man without money, what
ever his ability and fitness, to go
into politics Candidates are "as-
sessed" before they can enter the
race and have their names entered
upon the official ballot. The assess
ment is graded according to the
salary and perquisites of the office
for which the candidate is running
IL ..f,e fFf
party treasury. In addition, the
candidate desiring square deal is
ruder the necessity Of paying for
his own watchers and ralliers and
managers. The expenses required in
the primaries are not in the public
interest not for the general cleo
tion, but only TO determine who shall
run for office. The system breeds
corruption indeed invites corrup-
ton. and fails TO give the people an
opportunity of selecting the best
men to represent them in places OF
high responsibility.
The primary system more than
corruption, magnify the
demagogue. multiply elections and
operate against the man of small
means. it wearies the people with
political and when the novelty IS
worn off causes them to neglect the
first duty of good citizenship-active
in the political affairs
OF their neighborhoods and states,
and in the larger affairs of the
nation
With the dose OF primaries the
country has had in the campaign
now ended. It ought to be practical,
as il is certainly more desirable, to
this system as a thing to
be avoided on every ground of pub
lie good.
The Tulsa Democrat says
The primary as a remedy for all
political ills at least needs some
revision.
And the Fort Scott Republican:
The writer has seen more polit-
ieal skull -duggery contemplated and
actually accomplished under the pri-
mary system tnan he ever saw in
his life before"
1t appears there is well defined
and increasing sentiment throughout
the country to the effect that the
primary system may not be all, nor
anywhere near all, that was once
claimed for il.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S LIMERlcKs

(From the Boston Transcript
Newspaper commentators shoulC
| try to stick to fact seven when deal
! ing with political opponent. Some
of them are now charging Governor
| Wilson with indulgence in i'm
promptu limericks, and the follow
ing is given as an example:
III wish that my room had a floor,
i don't so much care for door,
But this walking around
Without touching the ground
is getting to be such a bore.
We do not believe that plagiarism
is one of Governor Wilson's sins. At
least it has never before been charg-
ed against him, and the foregoing
appeared in Gelett Burgess's Lark
some time before the governor had
any need of it for personal applica-
ton. Apparently, however. he rath-
er has liking for philosophy in this
sugar-coated form occasionally.
Professor Ford of the department of
politics at Princeton, has very ap-
pleciauve sketch OF him in the Aug
ust Review of Reviews. He says
that the freedom of newspaper COM
ment upon how his nose fitted his
face or his ears were adjusted to his
head was far from pleasing to his
family. but the governor took it
good-humoredlE and appropriated
another limerick which he thought
covered his case:
AS a beauty | am not a star;
There are others more handsome by
far
But my face-I don't mind it,
For | am behind il;
The people in front get the jar.

laid claim to originality, impromptu

seedaess P1uhes Come Next

Seedless prunes may be one OF
the products of Idaho orchards
within tae next few years. Carl
Dietsch, an Oregon farmer inclin-
ed tG Rurbankism, is reported TO
have developed such a fruit, and
while not yet q commercial pos
sibility, it is said it may become so.
He has tree that has bushel anC
a half or more of the before un-
head CT fluit on it now ripening.
The Gnly semblance of pit that
the prune contains is a small pellet
about as large as a grain of wheat.
The fruit is of peculiar shape, too,
about three-quarters of an inch in
diameter and two inches long. The
color is very similar to that of
the Italian prune, and the flavor
is rich and sweet. Whether the
prune will be found to have any
commercial value or disadvantage
over the old model yet remains
to be demonstrated. Mr.. Dietsch
sent some of the prunes to Pro-
fessor Lewis, of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college and that authority
expressed the opinion that the
fruit was too soft and delicate to
be of commercial value.

Five cals of poles have already ar

lines will also be rebuilt and six
additional lines created in order
to reduce the number of persons
on a line, at present as high as

be eight. The average will be six.
Long distance connections will
be improved by COPPER wire cir

morning, it is reasonably certain
that it will be made today.
Mrs. Workman has been prom

public instruction. She is a
strong partisan of President Ia [
ard an ardent Republican. The

Good Reports.

H. L. Fest is receiving good
reports from his customers. In
every crate OF peaches he packed
was placed a postal card with a
request that it be filled out and
mailed to him, stating who the
purchaser was, the condition in
which the fruit was received and
whether it was satisfactory. The
replies came from every section of
the East and South-from Pennsyl-
yania to Texas-and in each case
the fruit was highly praised, both
as to condition and quality.
