THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

Again the people Of Wallace school
district have demonstrated their de-
termination to keep the public school
from those who have an Interior pur-
pose In seeking a place on the board
of directors. Commercialism has no
place in the public school system, and
those who would use It for financial
advantage vii. invariably receive a
rebuff from the people such as was
administered in the election last Tues
day. There can be no valid objection
raised to anyone seeking a place on
the school board who is prompted by
proper motives. nor can there be any
valid objection to having women rep
resented on the school board. These
matters did not enter into the fight
Tuesday The interests back Of the
eleventh hour candidates was so plain,
the purpose so manifest, that the peo-
pie recognized 1t at once and needed
no urging to come out and bury the
candidates under an avalanche OF
votes.

dress to the people of Butte:

| "Our mine committee recently in
terviewed the miners Of the Anaconda
mine and found number who were
! not members of the new union and
who showed no intention of becoming
members. The committee then gave
them "a hours notice that they must
join or that they would not be permit
ted to work. Some Of the mines be-
ing closed down caused thousands Of
men to be idle and these men volun-
tarily increased the size of the COM
mittee to several hundred.

at the Anaconda mine 81 men that had

the other two gunner, caught with

/ "The following day our committee
found one man out Of AGO at the St
Lawrence mine, who positively refus-
ed to ioln the union. The verdict In
his case was that he follow the Other
three.
1T has been a policy in the past o.
the w. f. M. to abuse and beat ur
denorted men. This was not done BY
the new organization. Our organiza

and without injury"
How long will American citizens Of
Butte and Montana submit to the tyr
fanny of this lawless gnng? News
comes from Butte that the mine work
ors have announced that IL the STATE
militia Is brought to that city to give
oroection to life and property, thu
city will he reduced to ashes. The time
has arrived when the choice between
law and the mob should be finally
made. The soldiers should be sent t.
Butte without delay.

to the direct primary these days, com
pairing it with the old convention

the conclusion is not generally favor

pile rule" is a fair sounding cry and
during the past few years has been
taken up in almost every state and
the old method of nominating candi-
dates has been displaced by the direct
primary. just as If the people had ac-
tually been deprived of the right to

was often abused and men were elect

continue to happen under the direct

of close observers that the opportunity
to thwart the will Of the people in the
selection Of candidates is more easily
accomplished under the new system
than under the old. Besides 1t is a
most cumbersome and expensive
method and entails heavy expense
upon the taxpayers without any COM

CALIFORNIA PRIMARIES.
(San Francisco Chronicle)

Owing to complications caused by
the failure Of the trainers of the new
primary law to make provision for the
counting Of the ballots in a manner
which would permit tolerably speedy
presentation by the newspapers of thu
vote at the election of Tuesday, the
result in the case Of close contests
will not be definitely known until the
completion Of the official canvass
which has commenced and must be
finished before the 10th of September
But while there may be doubt re.
specting some candldatures the re-
turns the press was able to gather are
definite enough to establish beyond all
possibility Of dispute the fact that the
republican party's candidates will win
by old-fashioned pluralities and per-

WAR MAKES STRANGE BEDFEL-
LOWS.
saturday Evening Post)

Among great nations on the con-
tinent OF Europe the two that ought
to stand closest together are Franc"
and Germany. Together they lead the
van Of civilization. As the arts and
sciences advance you find German
name matching French name. And
the two big nations that are political
ly nearest akin are Cossack Russia
and Bourbon Austria.
IAN alliance between France and
Germany on one hand and Austria
and Russia on the other would be
understandable as one between two
physicians and another between Two
prizefighters. In that case sympathy
in the United States would turn to
France and Germany as inevitably as
the needle turns to the pole; but be-
fore an alliance between France AND
Russia or between Germany and Aus
tria intelligent sympathy stands con-
founded. To be sure, nearly one
quarter Of the inhabitants of the dual
empire are Germans and they talk OF
the racial tie, but only little over a
generation ago German Prussia and
one-third German Austria were at
war.
Within the memory Of millions OF
men now living Austria was the OPP
pressor Of Italy and Italy's only hope
OF national existence lay in Austrian
defeat. That defeat was the signal for
the widest reioicings in Italy. but
Italy Is now aligned with Austria
against France, whose troops helped
her overthrow the Austrian tyranny.
All Of which shows how completely
detached from real human Interests
this whole statecraft stuff Of diplom-
acy and war Is.

From the national administration

The republicans polled a much
heavier vote than the democrats. This
can hardly be taken as fair show
ing of the relative strength of the two
parties, but rather a greater interest
in the election among republicans due
to the numerous contests. The pow
ers that control the destiny of the
democratic party in Shoshone county
evidently desired as few contests as
possible. hence small vote would be
just as effective as large one. The
total primary vote will probably be
less than 1000. which is exceedingly
small compared with total vote OF
about 5000 In the general election two
years ago.
