T'resident Wilson's declaration iT, favor of the direct primary system 'f nominating candidates for president and vice. president recalls Jackson $ fight against the old congression nal caucus system. In the early days of cur country's history party candidates for the presidency were elected by t!,e congressional delegations from the several states. In that manner were Jefferson. Madison and Monroe ard their opponents nominated. Ther came the flasco of 1924 when Jackson Adams. Clay and Crawford received votes for president. Jackson lead in both in the number of popular and electoral votes received by the can''i- dates but a combination of the friends of the minority candidates in the house Of representatives, where the election went because of the failure of Jack son to receive q clear majority of the votes in the electoral college, resulted i.l the selection of John Quincy Ad ams to be president. Jackson. seeing the people being ruled by congress rather than ruling. declared war m the congressional caucus .and 1t gave way to the national party convention system. It was e step toward direc, control by the masses. Then came the perfection of the political organiz..- . tlnns in the separate states and the endorsement of the bosses who by controlling state delegates and trad irg with each other. dictated presi- dentiai nominations.
 Now Wilson proposes to cure this evil, as Jackson cured the evil of hts day. by applying even a greater meas ure of democracy in the control oi parties. His purpose Is to apply tho direct primary method of nominating candidates that has worked so sue cessfuiiy in the different states ot the nation at larse.-Alaska Empne

If congress will pass the bill pres ented by Delegate wickersham pro. viding for a development board for Alaska, a serious problem that nas been confronting this territory for q long time will be solved. With the exception of the Alaska railroad b. :: the development board bill is the most important presented by Mr Wickersham. and there is reason to believe that the measure will become a law.
 Home rule for Alaska, as far as It has been applied in the formation of the recent legislature. has proved to be a dismal failure and instead of i'm proving conditions has left the law g of the territory in a hopeless tansls from which 1t can only be relieved ty expensive litigation or by the passage of new laws by congress to nullicy those passed by the legisalture.
 As soon as Alaska's population reaches the point where 1t can sup pert itself then home rule or even c state government. will be desirable but there are not enough people in the whole of Alaska at the present tInt to make moderate-sized city.
 By means of q development board which would more properly be a go' erning board. the affairs of the terri tory would be administered at the eA |. Eense of the federal government, and at the same time its government would b. of a local nature. as the bill provides fer the appointment of Alaskans n. members.
 The new Wickersham bill. in its 70. stricted nature. provides for acommi,.. sion form of government for tho terri. tery, q kind of government that som, ct the states are now trying to get ir rlace of legislatures and governors The people of Portland. for instance hre petittoning for a law that will gi, ( Oregon a commission form of govern ment for 1t is deemed to be better than the present form. If that kim of government is desirable for som, cs the states why should 1t not b. acceptable for Alaska?
 The only people who can reasonab'. object to the proposed new form o government for Alaska are the poi. ticians who seek legislative positio 1, that would be prohibited by the pro posed new conditions Citi zen.

Those who object to Income taxss collected at the source were duly ia- structed by Congressman Hull of Ten ressee, author of the new law now urder enforcement, in his address '- fore the New York State Bar AssoctA ten.
 More than sso. .ooo. 100000 of American wealth consists of personal property Most of 1t escapes taxation of every kind. The nation has not heretofore attempted to reach 1t. The states have always failed to uncover 1t. As M:
 Hull explains. the state of KentucP' las a larger revenue from its dog tax than from the levy that 1t makes upon bank deposits known to exceed $1ss.- 00o,o00
 There are thousands of Americans residing abroad who receive great in. comes from investments here upou which they formerly paid no direct texes. Payment at the source su5' t+cts all of this property owned by residents and non residents to equitA. hie taxation for the first time. Fu.' thermore by this system public but- dt ns which in the past have rested very largely upon clements of tn" population least able to bear them have now been transferred to somt extent to those who ny every consid' eration of right and justice should lend a hand.-New York World.

The pitiless investigation ana ex pSsure of the methods of high Wa!i Atreet financiers in wrecking one oi ire richest New England railr3aG. in tho interest of Q. few manipria: 'rs and hy "i'th the road was not on'y phy- si'',ly but financially wrecked 's draw ng public attention throughout, r.. country The exposures ny Mel len will probably not elicit any sur prise from those who have read the New England papers which have frOr time to time exposed the methods by which the rich New Haven road. 9 road running through the most popr- lcus section of the United States which was upon a sound financsa basis and which was a safe invest ment for thousands of New England's well-to-do people was made t:' means of enriching the few and in. poverishiy the thousands of stock holders whose money was stolen ai braxonly as any petty larcenist evsI appropriated the property of others to himself.
 The same thing happened shor' time ago with the Frisco railroad sys' tenn when that road was brought into banlsrupcy, as was said by the inter- state commerce commission in it's re- port to the senate, "by causes which were of a financial and not of nn operating character. It was the sam; story which the richer New Haven froperty of New England had been telling. It is the same story which many other broken railroads have told before. It Is the story of profitable railroad business divertc to the profit of high finance.
 It is the same old story which hat been repeated time and again of the dishonest purchase of other properties cf extravagant bankers commissions of marketing of inflated issues at hoins and abroad when the purchased pro perties essential bankruptcy shout! have been known. The publicity whic; is now being given to these recent IT, stances of wholesale robbery of peo rle by wrecking railroads ought to an. is calling for stringent laws whict will put q check to this gigantic sys tenn of wholesale robbery by making | a legal crime.

A Christmas Wedding.

At six o'clock Christmas eve there
was solemnized at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Lathrop, on north
Madison street, the marriage of their
daughter, Florence Hazel Lathrop, to
Arthur Allen Knapp, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G.. Knapp, of south Jefferson
street.
The ceremony was witnessed only
by the, immediate families of the
bride and groom and Miss Melba
Roach, of Fennimore, lifelong
friend of the bride. Mr.. and Mrs.
Burton Roscoe, of Chicago, friends
of the groom, who had been expect
ed, were unable to come.
The ring ceremony was used, Rev.
H. A. Studebaker, the local Con-
gregational pastor, officiating. The
young couple stood under an archway
between the parlor and reception hall,
the arch icing rrettiiy decorated
with sprays Oh smilax. A bunch of
mistletoe hung over the head of the
lovely little bride, who was gowned
in white crepe du Chine and wore
white roses.
To do away with formality, yet to.
spare nothing of the beauty and
dignity of the ceremony, was the de-
sire of all concerned, and this was.
perfectly accomplished.
Christmas was not forgotten; the.
smilax garlands, the holly, and the.
glowing red roses made all of the
rooms in this beautiful home smile
welcome to the season and to the
special occasion.
A loaded Christmas tree in a corner
OF the library awaited the attention
of the younger members Of the
family, and added the final note of
happiness and harmony. Well
chosen gifts to the bride and groom
from near friends met with the CRATE
full appreciation of all.
A dinner that would do justice to
both Christmas and wedding-d was
then served, and the evening was
spent as happy gathering of two
families, one of which had gained
daughter, the other a son.
The young people are now at home
in the David Eastman residence,
where they will reman for the winter.
The Herald, which has ever felt
special interest in both of these
young people, extends to them it's
warmest and most hearty congratula.

Weekly Inter Ocean Sold.

The old Inter-Ocean newspaper,
of Chicago, which, forty years ago,
under the direction of VIM. Penn
Nixon, was the leading republican
daily paper of the west, has entirely
passed out of existence. For years
it has been passing from one owner
ship to another until it became an
Improbable publication and has been
passed in the race for popularity by
more vigorous and enterprising rivals.
About year ago it was absorbed by
the new owners of the Chicago Her
aid but the weekly and semi-weekly
editions continued. These, also,
which have been favorite papers in
thousands of Wisconsin homes, nave
been found Improbable and their
publication abandoned. The subscrip-
tion its has been sold to the W. D.
Boyce Co., who will fill existing
contracts with a weekly paper called
Farming Business.

LOCAL POSTOFF|CE
HANDLES MUCH MAIL
Two Extra Assistants Are En-
pIOyed for Week.
AS Many as As Sacks of Mail Went
Out in One Day.--RuraI
Carriers Got Theirs.

During the Christmas week the
postoffice was flooded with mail of
every description and the postmaster
and his force of helpers were kept
on the jump early and late. 1t was
found necessary to employ two extra
assistants in the office, Mrs. Anime
Showalter and Henry Hewitt being
added to the regular force and all
worked early and late to take care
of the big rush of Christmas mail.
The parcel post business has result
ed in transferring to- the mails a
great volume of package carrying
that had heretofore been given to
the express companies, and as much
of this is insured it has to bear an
extra tag and requires extra book
keeping. Some idea of the volume
of business handled in the local post
office may be had from the fact that
the stages and trains brought in as
high as IS sacks of mail in one day,
with from 80 to 35 sacks going out
and that was not far from an
average for each of the other days
throughout the week. The cold
weather and lateness of trains have
added to the disadvantages.
The rural carriers were taxed to the
capacity of their conveyances and had
to build extensions upon them part of
the time to handle the parcel and
paper business. Christmas day is
the one holiday of the year when
Uncle Sam refuses to give the car
riers lay off, and they all made
their trips as usual that day, with the
weather far below zero. In their
big fur coats and their wagons loaded
with bundles they typifed the Christ
