WORK OF DIRECT PRIMARY.

The Lewiston Tribune, one of the
best edited and most conserva-
tive papers in the state, does
not Sc much chance to change
the direct primary law and there
fore no improvement in the pres
ent condition of political irrcsponsi-
bilty that afflicts the state. In other
words. in their eagcrness to rule, the
people have entangled themselves in
system that renders them powerless to
rule. The Tribune says:
Two models or proposals for
law are already prepared, and there
will doubtless be half dozen more.
Each measure will have its own spe-
cial champions, who see particular vir-
tues in one or another Of their provl-
slons, and particular vices In one or
another of the opposing provisions.
Some are concerned only to procure
partisan advantage, and others want
no changes at all, or do not know
what they want. The primary itself
is largely responsible for this legisla-
tive chaos, by destroying party coor-
dlnation and party responsibility So
the present tumble, or something
worse, viii probably remain as public
policy indefinitely, because the people
have actually deprived themselves of
the means of getting together and Of
their mature views effective
whether at the polls. in the law maxi
ing body. or in administrative func-
tlons.
Even the indirect result claimed
for the primary that 1t would tend to
procure more attentive and faithful
public service, appears to be gro-
tesque fallacy, at least in this state.

Joined advice to the American people
concerning the method of maintaining
peace:
ITO maintain peace in the future it
! is necessary to be prepared for war
There can scarcely be a possible
chance of a conflict, such as the last
one, occurring among our own people
again; but, growing as we are in pop
lulation, wealth and military power, we
may become the envy of nations which
led us in all these particulars only
few years ago; and unless we are pre-
pared for it we may be in danger of
combined movement being some day
made to crush us out. Now, scarcely
20 years after the war, we seem to
have forgotten the lessons 1t taught,
and are going on as if in the greatest
security, without the power to resist
an invasion by the fleets of fourth rate
European powers for a time until we
could prepare for them,
eve should have good navy and
our sea coast defenses should be put
in the finest possible condition Mel
Their of these costs much when it is
considered where the money goes and
what we get in return. Money ex-
pended in a fine navy not only adds
to our security and tends to prevent
war in the future, but is very mater
ial aid to our commerce with foreign
nations in the meantime. Money
spent upon sea coast defenses is
spent among our own people, and II
all goes, back again among the people.
The work accomplished, too, like that
of the navy. gives us feeling of Sc
curity."
We are indebted TO Messrs. Perine
and Nichols of New York for this hlth-
erto overlooked passage from the
Personal Memoirs" of Ulysses S.
Grant, Americans now considering
tire great question Of national prepar-
edness will thank lis for bringing 1t to
their attention, They will also note
the close resemblance between General
Grants counsel to the republic and
that Of George washington more than
Of century earlier.

Even the war tax Is not going to
save the democratic administration
from a shortage in revenue. This fact
is now recognized by leading demo-
Gratis in congress, and It is expected
that the deficiency will be met by the
sale of Panama canal bonds. AS the
direct tax placed upon the people was
called a war tax" it Is probable that
the sale Of these bonds will be design
ated as war loan" Meantime the
odministrati, takes great pride and
.redit in the fact that we are at peace
With all nations.

A MANS A MAN EVEN AT SING
SING.
philadelphia Ledger

VI HlietlSiplild 14Su6CiJ
One reason--and that the foremost
why the Sing Sing prisoners have
taken so kindly to their new warden,
Thomas Mott Osborne, Is that he in
sists on treating them not as numbers
in a list, not as inmates of cells, but
as men.
The old and vicious philosophy was
that when for any cause a man went
behind the bars he DOTTED his manhood
with the clothes he wore-his soul as
well as his body put on the stripes.
The new theory is that the better part
of the incarcerated man lives in him
still to be redeemed.
When an engine runs off the track,
and Is badly damaged, we do not de-
stroy the rest Of it, but we put it back
on the rails and we carefully repair
1t. But in the case of a human dere-
lict, we are likely to consign the whole
delicate mechanism to the scrap heap
after one failure. We take better care
sometimes of cogs and linkheads than
of flesh and blood.
The experience Of enlightened pris-
on administrators has been that trust
Is more effectual than espionage, and
that to put a man on his honor Is bet
ter than to put him on bread and wa
ter.

accustomed TO get whatever he sought
in the way OF political preferment. His
defeat by Mr.. Conner must have been
severe shock to him and his sup
porters, and the effect may cause them
in the future to give Q little more SER
ious Consideration to the rights and
demands of the north. The election of
Mr. Conner also forcibly illustrates
the power of the north when the rep
resentatlves from the several counties
present a united front.

a NEW STATE.

Periodically, generally about the
time new legislatures meet, talk Of
forming a new state is heard. Gener
ally 1t has its origin in Spokane and
It's burden is the great advantages -
be derived by the people of north Ida
no and eastern Washington 5y the ere
alton of a new commonwealth formed
by the union of those two sections. In
north Idaho the Mormon influence
and the complete domination by tht
more populous south are the argu
ments used, while In eastern Wash
ington the latter argument is advanc-
ed against the western section of the
state. In both states high mountain
ranges are pointed to as effectual bar
riers that will forever prevent unity of
interests between the extreme sections
of the state SO far as north Idaho Is
plished practically nothing toward
creating sentiment in favor of the
proposed new state, and there will be
less as the development of Idaho pro-
crosses and more direct means of
transportation is provided between
the two sections.
And now the builders of new states
are getting busy over In Montana, and
they also have designs upon north
Idaho. 1t is stated that a resolution
will be submitted to the Montana leg
islature declaring in favor of new
state composed of north Idaho and
western Montana, described by the ex-
tension of the western boundary line
Of wyoming north across Montana
and the extension of the northern
boundary line of Wyoming west across
Idaho 1t is also reported that advo-
Gates of the proposed state are in
Boise and will endeavor to have the
legislature of this state pass a simil-
ar resolution.
j SO far as this section of Idaho is
concerned, such state would be re-
ceived with much more favor than one
combined with eastern Washington
Both north Idaho and western Montana
have wonderful natural wealth in
mines, timber and agricultural land,
and these resources are so distributed
that the two section combined would
make an ideal commonwealth, yet nei-
Their would be strong enough to over
ride the other in the matter of peliti-
cal control and in the dictation of leg
islatlon At the present time in Ida
no the mining interests are at a great
disadvantage on account of the pre-
dominance of the agricultural interests,
and the condition would be worse in a
state made up of north Idaho and east
ern Washington. So while the matter
( of new state Is not now receiving
serious considerations IL the question
should become live issue we have no
hesitation in saying that the panhandle
! of Idaho would fare better united tc
western Montana than to eastern
Washington.
