DECISION OF SUPREME COURT.
Interesting Interpretation Of the Pri.
mary Law In Case from

Alfred r. Lacombe vs.. George p

Alfred r. Lacombe VS.. George p
Laborde.
1. Section q, Of Act ~. Of 1906
clearly provides that when one haze
entered primary for the nomination
to an Office and has been defeated
thar he shall not be eligible there
after to be q candidate for that. of
fee at the general election. There
is q direct and plain inhibition placed
upon the candidate
2. The inhibition placed upon the
candidacy at the general election OF
one who has been defeated in pri-
mary. however, does not prevent the
voter from voting for the candidate
defeated in the primary. The law
allows to the voter the right to vote
for whom he chooses, and this right
cannot be denied him merely because
the one for whom he votes is Pro-
hibited from being an avowed, or OF
fetal candidate. The intent Of thf
law Is to allow the voter the greatest
freedom in the expression of his will
and this freedom is not to be inter
fered with by the court In the absence
of clear and unambiguOus express
sion by the law making power OF an
intent to limit. or restrict WITHIN
certain bounds the exercise by the
voter of this freedom OF choice.
3. TO hold that the one receiving
the majority of votes at the genera
election is not entitled to the office

fetal candidate would have the effect |

that Colonel Roosevelt may be can

nomination in 1916 we do not care 10
give even momentary appearance CT

can not be prevented; but the adoption
OF equitable vi comes before any
proper debate as to the avai2s!n!y o'

Roosevelt received In the presidential
election Of 1912 large majority OF the
republican votes, and II he can hoid
those votes in an honestly conducted
republican preliminary campaign ne
can win the nomination against any
body but many Of those votes were
given to him because OF the many III

A USEFUL MAN

The death of John F. Lacey yester-
day brought true regret into every
home in Iowa. For Mr.. Lacey had
been one of those men who inspire
personal liking and one of the most
widely known.
Lacey was useful man. He was
purposeful and brave enough to fight
for his strong convictions. He had
been a good soldier, an honest and
hard working congressman and a law
neighbor. Those are qualifications and
accomplishments which should endear
men TO those who know them. They
did endear Lacey to Iowa and his home
city.
Politically Mr.. Lacey found his later
years improbable. He was one Of
those who, having lived under the con-
ditions OF an earlier time, refuse TO
change. A born conservative in all
things he was strictly conservative in
politics. SO he suffered the disappoint-
who find themselves unable to accom-
modate themselves 20 political changes
and later understanding OF political
purposes.
In politics. law, as a soldier and as
private citizen Mr.. Lacey was a
must notable man. After all the real
estimate of men given after their
deaths rests upon the sincerity
of their lives more than upon their
successes or failures. The truest es-
innate is that made by their intimates
and neighbors. And Lacey's neighbors
loved him and respected him.
Major Lacey was never a great man
He knew that and once spoke of it to
the editor who writes this article He
never did great things in statesman
ship or advanced startling theories of
government but he was worker and a
useful man wherever his activities led
him. That is the word which describes
the man best, useful" He has been
a factor in Iowa since he came to the
state a 14-year- old boy and we shall
bid him farewell with regret.
To live seventytwo years actively
and die suddenly seems to be both the
right way to live and to die.

EXPLAINING WHY.

Inspired by the fact that the Hin
man farm. near Primghar, sold for
nearly $170 an acre at public sale, H.
R. Deaiy, OF Paullina, put up the Joe
Pick" eighty, near Paullina. and sold 1t
likewise at auction. but realized only
$3.50 per acre for it, and the Times
says ne was disappointed. NJ. Cc1!y
overlooked one very imp ortant fact in
relation to the Human sale, and that is
that Mr.. Human advertised his sale
in nearly every newspaper within a
hundred miles, paying out to each an
average Of 81 or 50 (the Courier re-
ceived the latter amount) for public
ity. Mr.. Dealy did not spend cent for
advertising in the Courier, nor for any
other county paper outside OF Paullina
that we know of. The moral is plain.

LEr's NAVE ROAD pA1aoLMEx.

The state highway commission has
made suggestion in recent bulletin
which, II adopted generally by boards of
supervisors. will come nearer to giving
US efficiency in our road work than
anything that has yet been suggested
county boards to adopt some system
OF road patrols; patrolmen who will
personally inspect the county roads as
track walkers watch the railroad.
In our eastern states where the state
roads are paved or otherwise i'm
proved with hard material the re-
pair work is done by men who move
over their divisions with a one horse
wagon outfit repairing bridge and cul-
vert approaches. filling ruts, cutting
weeds and underbrush and constantly
patroling the road. In this way coun-
try roads in the east are kept in bet
ter condition than paved streets in the
towns.
In this state three members Of a
oodtQ VI super iSoi al z INV tIiiio W

county engineer during the bridge
building and road grading season is

is needed every minute where the big
work is going on and he has no time
to look after road dragging contracts.
small culvert repair or weed cutting.
Let the detail work on our roads be
suble,. The county road system should
be divided into convenient districts and
hard headed farmers who have won
something of local reputation for
their road enthusiasm be employed and
paid to do road patrol work. Let them
have some authority TO contract for
dragging and to order dragging done
county is provided with repair crews
let these road patrols report to the
county engineer when repair work is
to be done, otherwise let an appropria-
ton be made by the board for each road
patrol to spend on repair work in his
district. Then let neat sign boards De
posted along the roads bearing the
number of the road division and the
name of the patrolman responsible for
the condition Of roads in that district.
If the county board uses good judg-
ment in selecting men of high class and
enthusiasm the new Brockway law will
give us the finest roads in Iowa that
can be made out of dirt. We will then
be ready to tackle pavements on the
easy twenty-year payment plan.
