STILL KNOCKING
THE PRIMARY

The Tribune has quoted extensively
from the state press since the pri-
mary election on the primary law
The expressions quoted with one ex-
ception condemn the law. We below
give the views of two other newspa-
pers, the Grangevills Globe and the
Mountain Home Republican, as illus
trative of the still prevailing opinion
of the press. The Globe says:
when sixty per cent of the voters
of the state are unwilling to spend
their valuable time "fooling with the
primary" it would seem it is about
time for the other forty per cent to
decide to cut out the expensive luxury
and drop back to the old convention
system. The howl about political
rings" is easier borne than the ex-
pense of a double election which
brings no better results than the pres
emit primary law"
The Republican is of the opinion
that "The direct primary law is re-
ceiving a bountiful measure of richly
rnerited abuse at the hands of the
press and public from all parts of the
state. 1t would seem that a bill to
repeal the law at the next session of
the legislature will prove a popular
move. There is nothing that can be
said for the direct primary which will
vindicate it in the minds of the peo-
pie. They are very tired of the many
hardships it works ON the candidates
and the expenses attached TO the
county and state. The only excuse
for having direct primary is that il
gives anyone chance to get on the
ticket. Then after he is on the ticket
he may find that he stands all alone
with no show at all for the nomina,
ton. Clicks and factions have prob.
ably centefed on the other man, anC
are using their efforts and influence
to defeat him. Should he be so for.
tunate to pull through he will have 4
all to go through again at the genera
election"

A PEACE PRAYER.

(Walter Rauschenbusch, in Prayers
of the Social Awakening
20 Lord, since the first blood of
Abel cried to Thee from the ground
that drank it, this earth of Thine has
been dehled with the blood of man
shed by his brothers hand, and the
centuries sob with the ceaseless hor-
ror of war. Ever the pride of kings
and the covetousness of the strong
have driven peaceful nations to slau-
ghter. Ever the songs of the past and
the pomp of armies have been used
to infiame the passions of the people.
Our spirit cries out to Thee in revolt
against it, and We know that our
righteous anger is answered by Thy
holy wrath.
Break Thou the spell of the enchant-
ments that make the nations drunk
with the lust of battle and draw them
on as willing tools of death. Grant
us quiet and steadfast mind wheR
our own nation clamors for vengeance
or aggression. Strengthen our sense
of justice and our regard for the equal
worth of other peoples and racese.
Grant to the rulers of nations faith in
the possibility of peace through jus
tlce and grant to the common people
a new and stern enthusiasm for the
cause of peace. Bless our soldiers
and sailors for their swift obedience
and their willingness to answer to
the call of duty, but inspire them none
the less with hatred of war, and
may they never for love of private
glory or advancement provoke its
coming. May our young men still re-
jOice to die for their country with
the valor of their fathers, but teach
our age nobler methods of matching
our strength and more effective ways
of giving our life for the flag.
20 thou strong Father of all nations,
draw all Thy great family together
with an increasing sense of our COM
mon blood and destiny, that peace may
come on earth at last, and Thy sun
may shed its light rejoicing on a holy
brotherhood of peoples"

The Farmers Cooperative Assn
The Press, the Banker, and Farmer

The Press, the Banker, and Farmer
Economy must be practiced from
every standpoint of view. The press
is by far the most economical medium
which we have in locating that car
load of turkies, geese, ducks, chickens,
hogs and other products.
Special privileges to none, Jones has
two turkeys, Smith has 500 turkeys,
quality being the same they receive
the same price per pound. AS time
Iasses The association discovers that
binding tUine AMI sacks are needed
by its members, through the press,
orders are gathered large and snlall
added to';etl!tr equal car loI;
Mr.. Jones finds he will need so lbs.
of Irvine and 100 sacks, not beinc ac-
quainted with the association and
familiar with its modes of conducting
business, he could step to the tele-
phone and order his wants through
MS banker. In turn the banker places
orders of all his customers with the
Farmers Cooperative Association,
who orders, delivers and then draws
on the banks taking advantage of
cash discounts.
The plans for the organization and
the conducting of the business will
be placed on such bisis, so as to in
sure absolutely to the purchaser, to
the farmer, to the banker, to the COM
mon CARRIER, to the wholesaler, and to
the manufacturer.
A small per cent from everybody is
equal to the same as large per cent
from a few.
That all officers are elected by vote
surely means that thew are CAPABLE
energetic, and experienced enough
that they can give what the public de-
mands. Every farmer will apply to
the formula: A very small member
snip tee. very small per cent from
everybody plus the right men EQUALS
profit for Mr.. Farmer.
Also the fact that the Farmers CO.
operative movements are a success as
proven all over the world.
Also the fact that the United States
government indorses it. Also the fact
that so many banks have already in
dorSed 1t, makes us believe without a
doubt that within a short time Il will
be Endorsed by all bankers.
Also that the fact that this assoc;a-
ton VIII associate with all co-opera-
ticve movements.
Let It be proven to the farmer to
his entire satisfaction that he is to get
square deal selling and buying and
he will not hesitate to proceed to in
vest twenty-five cents with the as
surance that all which remains is the
routine of applying by vote these
right men to the proper Offices.

STORIES OF THE DAY
Naming Teddy.

A six-year-old had been given a
large Teddy bear as birthday pres
ent. 1t was a very fine bear, but had
pronounced squirt.
The owner was hard put to it to
find a name sufficiently descriptive
for her new roy. At last she solved
the difficulty to her own satisfaction,
and christened the animal Gladly"
Questioned as to the reason for
such an extraordinary name for a
bear, she quoted as her authority the
line in well-known hymn, which she
rendered thus, Gladly, my cross-eye
