THE PRIMARY is SOUND.

There was very light vote cast in
the primary Monday. But there is
warrant for the conviction that q:
least ten times as many voters partici-
pa.ed in the nominations as would
have taken part under the old caucus
system. This MAKES these facts clear:
Every man nominated has clear
title 70 his place on his party ballot.
Every voter in the state had an oppor-
tunity 10 exercise mis- right o. fran
chlse. The primary is legal and law
ful institution and as such is conducted
on the square. There is now no sus-
picion Of fraud or unfair uanipula
ton.
The old caucus system might be fair
y conducted But IN NAM cases i:
was grossly abused II had no legal
status There was sufficient fraud in
a sufficiently large number of pre-
cinc-s in the state TO throw q cloud
over the whole proceeding. This in
evttably operated to shake the con-
iuSNtS VA l4ie pcpPis III tHc "Ao1S
governmental fabric.
The principle which underlies the
primary is sound. The operation OF
the law Is infinitely superior in the
quality. of its results to the caucus sys-
tenn which it supplanted. But the pri-
mary needs TO be supplemented with
the short ballot We need the federal
form of government in our states. The
governor should appoint his cabine;
members TO be heads of the various
| state OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of state
auditor, treasurer, attorney general
| superintendent of public instruction
The governor should also appoint thu
| members of the state supreme court
| all appointees to be subject TO con
| .irmation by the state legislature.
This plan would simplify the task o
the voter. Il would be up 70 the voter
under this system to nominate can
didate for governor and candidates fo
the state senate and the house OF rep
resentatives. For the federal govern
ment the voter would choose candi
dates for president, for Representative
and for senator. This, with the Ore

qualify the voter 80 far as possible to
exercise his franchise intelliSendy.
Under our form of government the
state is placing its reliance on the
Judgment OF the voters in the ranks.
1t should therefore, place every facil-
ity in the hands of the voter designed
10 make Of him a capable Judge of the
merits of the men he is called upon
to oppose or support. We should never
FORGET in this connection. too, that II Is
the mission OF the state to make in
tellieent voters OF its boys-and most
likely in future its girls also. That Is
fundamentally the reason why every
influence which tends to degrade citi-
zenship should be suppressed and every
influence making for good citizenship
strengt hened.

WHAT Is THIS MANS CRIME.


Recently It was discovered that
Young man had taken high school
girl and made her believe that he had
married her Then they went TO house
keeping and lived as man and wife
for several months. It was then dis
covered that the young man haa real
wife living in the city. The young man
was arrested and is now out on bail,
the only charge against him being
'lewdness" The girl has returned TO
high school. The young man says that
he only lived with his first wife few
days and that ne was compelled tc
marry her. All these things disclose a
record OF wrongdoing which ought to
rank higher than a charge of 'lewd-
ness"
Our laws are strange mixture. A
man has been indicted under federal
statute for bringing woman OF ma
ture years from Kansas City. The
crime alleged is serious one and in
other states convictions have been fol-
lowed bv the severest of penalties.
Yet here under our Iowa law young
man with one wife &c whom he onsS
claims to be nominally married and
| Young girl who thought she was his
| wife are his victims. is bailed Out
on the simple charge OF lewdness.

A Bird Census.

A novel undertaking in the form OF
bird census has been started by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture. which has called upon bird lovers
turnout the county to cooperate. The
work will be without other reward than
the satisfaction Of participating In .
good cause.
How many birds OF each species have
their nests withon definite area!
Careful observers Of birds and their
habits are asked to make count and
report the results to the department.
OF agriculture. The plan Is to have
another count made in the same areas
a few years later and compare resuiee
TO learn whether the state and federal
bird legislation is increasing the NUM-
Der of game and insectivorous birds.
The department has asked $50 cor
respondents throughout the country 20
follow a general out line in supplying
information. These correspondents
have heretofore co-operated with the
department. Blu, the work Ia to be
more extensive II others will volunteer
TO take bird census.
The department OF agriculture has
started the movement because of the
economic value OF birds. particularly
insectivorous birds. The crop loss due
to pests that birds eat Is estimated to
run into the millions annually. Until
recent years the economic value OF
birds was not generally understood by
citizens. Rather. It was customary to
shoot robins, for instance. because they
toasted on cherries or other fruits and
berries.
The bird census should have value
I'm arousing an interest in birds and
the protection they afford to crops.
Moreover. 1t will AFFORD q pleasant and
instructive pastime.
4 bulletin OF the department says
the census should be taken over an
area that fairly represents the average
character of the country For ono
count it is suggested than an average
farm of forty to eighty acres without
woodland be taken. 1t should include
the farm buildings, shade trees. orr
chards, fields or plowed land and pas-
ture. Count Is to be made OF the nests
and pairs actually within the selected
area Sometimes the nests can not
all be discovered. 1t is suggested that
| the census taker begin some morning
| at daylight the last OF May or the first
of June and zig-zag back and forth
across the area, counting the male
J birds Of each species. which are in full
song at that time. 1t is safe to consid-
| er that each male represents a breeds
/ ing pair.
