PURIFYING BY PRIMARY.

Direct primaries and especially the
election of United States senators by
popular vote have been the pets Of
political reformers these many years.
During the agitation for primary and
election reforms We were told posi-
lively that this was the only medium
for purifying the ballot box.
The primary law was bruited
abroad as the solar plexus of
bossism. Political machines were
pictured as plunging into the aDys-
NAL depths never to be restored.
Butt the recent primary results do
not show that the people will accept
this avenue of reform even when they
can. Roger c. Sullivan carried the
Democratic primaries in Illinois eas
Ter than any boss ever captured q

For ten years Sullivan has been the

RE has Deen in Bismarck 0 the past
week, thoroughly inspecting the clfE.
He spoke last night before the

on the value TO the city OF 4 mlnlci-

having examined all but one, that Of

Bismarck are nD worse, and On the
whole not SO bad, as those Of q great
many other cities, said Mr.. Guthrie.
He recommended TO the commission
the establishment Of a municipal
slaughter house, on the ground that
such E place IA be kept much clean

than cans ereral small slaugh-
ter houses. The are also more

inspection in most cities of the
stale, Mr.. Guthrie said, is hardly SUI
fcieut, and, in the fall, especially,
when The demand for meat for threst-
ing crews is greatest. many animals
are slaughtered. the meat Of which
is really unfit for use.
One Of the CHIEF advantages OF q
municipal aba1toir, as pointed out by
MIR. Guthrie, is the opportunity for an
adequate cooling room, where the
meat can be kept until properly seq
soned. Meat is nor really fit for use
until il has been seasoned in q cold
room for ten Or twelve days, said Mr..
Guthrie. and this is very seldom done
in our cities. The meat is used very
soon after killing. The expense OF
killing would not be any greater to
the individual butcher. and probably
not SO great, as IL the individual
slaughter house. Grand Forks has q
municipal abattuir which is now
working finely. though there was some
trouble al first.
Mr.. Guthrie found Very few places
in this city whose condition called

DEMOCRATIC

Seldom has q party ever mad n
opportunity 10 redeem one Of its par
~ pledges as effscti-e ely as the Dem
ocratic party has today, in face Of the
European crisis.
The Baltimore platform pledged the
party TO economy Of appropriations.
1t denounced the "wasteful extrava-
gance" Of the former admlnisLra-
lions and set its foot firmly on q pol
icy of retrenchment and economy.
Still il proposes to pass an emarg-
ency revenue bill without even at
tempting TO curtail the various pork
barrel appropriations. The solemn
promises Of the party are broken il
face of a crisis which imposes q
double obligation upon the Democrat
ic administration.
The fact that the revenues have
fallen of some s11, 900 900 is no rea
son for this haste in Shaping on a
special tax. The pruning knife ad-
ministered upon the various appro-
priation bills would produce the same
results.
However, il would be disastrous to
Democratic hopes in several congress
sional contests if certain ~appropria-
tons were vetoed by President Vii
SOL. His machine in the House and
Senate would turn upon him Is their
pet appropriations, one by one, felt
the weight of the veto power.
1t may be possible that a special
tax is inevitable, but retrenchment
in appropriations would Tighten the
burden and might abolish the neces-
sitg entirely. Few would be injured
in trying to meet the emergency
through q reduction Of the strictly
pork barrel appropriations. Also,
the action would be strictly in line
with the sentiments of the Baltimore
platform which seems to be the prim-
er Of the present administration.

COST OF KILLING.

The cost of killing & mai has gone
up, like everything else. In forty or
fifty years the average cost of klLtns
one soldier has increased nearly
St. 900. In the present war the cost
of killing each soldier will probably
reach SIS 900.
The cost of killing L soldier is
obtained by dividing the cost OF q
war to any of the benigerents by
the number of men killed on the
other side.
In the Franco-Prussian war of lSlV-
II the cost of killing each man was
s21,p O0. But the cost Of every mate
rial warfare has advanced substan-
tally since then. 1t is safe 10 estl-
mate-unless the terrific destruction
Of machine guns upsets precedent
that to bring about a soldiers death
viii cause an expenditure OF S2o,pbe
Ou LIE OLuSl SlOe.
France spent $500, 900, 900 in actual
expenses of that war and s20D,DOO,0p
in repairing materials, giving help to
the fatherless families and other uses.
The German dead numbered 2S,6D0.
For every one Of them France spent
approximately $4,000.
The figures of the Russo-Turkish
war Of 1S77-7s give an average Of
s15; 900 for every one killed.
1t cost Russia s1.200,NOO to kill ST.
500 Japanese in the war of 1905, max,

Fatigue, typhus OF cholera will, of
course, kill the greatest number and
reduce the effective force Of the arm
les. In the Crimean war four times
as many died through disease az were
killed in battle. Advanced hygiene
will undoubtedly do much to cut down
these figures, but death by disease in
war times surely cannot be entirely
o%b1iterated.
