Favors Direct Primary

| Many are looking forward to The
annual March meeting in 1916 when
they can vote for or against the dir
ect primary system of Obtaining can
didates for office. We trust that
every person who has a vote will be
present upon that day and say whet.
her he wants such a system or not
The caucus system of obtaining
candidates is not a great success, for
the reason that but small part OF
the electorate attend it. Only the
politically active are present at eau
cuses and in some instances there is
| no such a thing as caucus, but in
stead it amounts to little else than q
ratification meeting
Whether we viii obtain better gov
eminent in Vermont by instituting
the direct primary remains TO be
seen. Phophesies are foolish in this
respect.
But if the direct primary can once
be put into operation in Vermont and
conducted according to statute, we
believe it will wake up the people in
TO a more loyal appreciation of their
right OF suffrage
The old caucus system has failed
10 increase the number OF its atten-
dants. As applied in other states the
direct primary has steadily increased
the number who attended the primar
les. The more people you get out to
attend a meeting of a political char
acter the nearer you are to that long
looked for age which Henry Ward
Beecher used to call THE Reign of
the Common People
The safest form of government is
one where the rank and file are not
too far removed from the governing
classes,-where the possibility of de-
the electorate is removed to
the lowest possible point.
The caucus system in Vermont has
never expressed the will Of the peo-
pie in many ways. Without going
too much into detail we will refer
for an example to the conventions |
that have been held in years past at
Burlington or Montpelier for the pur-
pose of choosing candidates for gov
ernor. If all the tricks that have
been praeticed at these conventions
We're written up, there are many
names which are doubtless held to-
day in great respect that would sud
denly drop greatly in public estima-
ton.
Why per cent. of the people OF
Vermont care to continue system
that is so productive of deception as
the convention system is, we fail to
see. Those who favor a continuance
of caucuses have had long time to
test their praeticability as an honest
way of finding candidates. When
they know it is a failure, for what rea
son do they desire its continuance?
Thus far the supporters of the caucus
system have used for their chief ar
gument against its abolition that Yer
mont, with its small population, does
not need a more direct expression by |
the yoters-Windsor ournal.

The defeat of woman suffrage in
New Jersey is merely an indication
that the east is more conservative
than the west! II is interesting to
note that the rural counties gave
more votes in proportion for the
cause than the cities. This was prob
ably due to the large foreign born
population in the cities. None OF the
European nations are as kindly in
their treatment, of women as are the
Americans.

FARMERS WORST ENEMY

Grand Forks, July Zz.-Weeds are
the worst enemy of the farmer who is
farming under limited rainfall accord
ing to a recent bulletin of the Agr1-
cultural Experiment Station at Grand
Forks. 1t says:
"All Of our work has pointed to the
fact that from the standpoint of stor-
ing moisture, the killing of weeds is
even more important than cultivating
the soil. Cultivation, however, is the
means of killing the weeds and serves
to keep the surface soil in condition SO
that it will catch the water that falls,
and not blow.
I'm 1907 small tract of land was
kept thoroughly cultivated until the
middle of June: then one-half of it
was allowed to become weedy, while
the other half was kept cultivated.
During the latter part of September,
moisture determinations were made
to a depth of three feet on each por-
ton OF the tract. 1t was found that
three and one-half inches of water
had been used from the upper three
feet Of soil by allowing the weeds to
grow. The portion which was kept
cultivated had at the end of the season
practically all the water It could carry,
While the portion where the weeds had
grown was as dry as it would have
been had it produced crop of grain"
Similar results were obtained from
experiments in 1908, 1911, 1912 and
1913.

MOTHERS, PENSION ACT
TO BE TESTED IN COURT

Stutsman county has already grant
ed three mothers pensions and for
fear more may be asked, proposes TO
test the act passed by the last legls-
lature on the grounds that it is in
operative. In each of the cases IN
Stutsman county ten dollars month
for each child has been granted the
mother.
The expense is divided between the
county and the taxing district in
which the mother is resident. Het-
finger county has already granted one
application and several are pending in
Cass county.
Those who favor the measure be-
lieve that it is thoroughly operative
and hold that it is much cheaper to
pay mothers to take care of the chill
dren in the home than to maintain
state institutions, and care for crimi-
nails and delinquents. 1t is argued that
the mother is the natural guardian of
the child and therefore that her con-
troll and interest in the child should
be conserved to the good of the state.

FIRE THREATENS WEBSTER

Devils Lake, July 22.-Webster was
threatened with extensive destruction
yesterday afternoon when Otto Froe-
lich's barn back of his meat market
burned down. No one seems to know
just how the fire started When it
was discovered, the farmers near town
were notified by telephone and soon a
bucket brigade was organized and hard
at work trying to save the buildings
near the barn. Had the wind been
in the right direction it is very likely
that the Higgens' hotel and barn which
stand very close by would have gone
also. The Mckay blacksmith shop
was burned so badly that one side will
have to be rebuilt.
