California is to vote within a
few days on the question of no.
party law, which means the Wip-
ing out of political parties in all
state elections. We wonder how
much further freak legislation
will attempt to go. There is no
chance the fool bill will prevail,
but it ought to have the effect of
stirring up voters of all political
parties to band together to head
off any further encroachments on
their political rights by alleged
reformers. The passing Of the
direct primary law by several
states has proved a complete
failure of every advantage claim
ed for It; yet it is saddled on the
states by constitutional amend
ment. A bigger fake reform
measure was never Matched in the
brain Of q political harlequin, and
cowardly politicians and law MAX
ers lacked the courage to wave
back the encroachments on their
political freedom. 1t was going
to purify politics, and it brings
more corruption; it was going to
make possible the selection Of
better men for office, and the cor
poration ringers get the votes;
it was the gateway for a poor
man to aspire to public office, and
the cost is prohibitive to his am
bition unless he sells himself to
the corrupting corporations. The
direct primary has not single
virtue or a redeeming feature to
commend it to any intelligent
voter, except a lot of newspaper
publishers who fry the fat before
every primary. It robs the vot-
er of his privilege to meet in par
ty convention where he can see
the prospective candidates, and
confer with his co-laborers as to
their qualifications; it centralizes
the candidates in the densely
populated sections and success
fully bars out the aspirant, how
ever worthy, in the rural sections.
The direct primary does not have
even ordinary fairness to recon-
mend it, and the day will come
when the people, weary of being
buncoed, will rise in their wrath
and wipe out this creature of the
demagogue.

The philosopher of the Five
Points Herald shoots this pleas
antry, but it is a cold fact and
not a Joke: When a man leaves
our political party he is traitor
and an ordinary mutt; but if he
leaves the other party and comes
over to our party he is a man of
moral courage, who is giving ev-
idence of big intelligence.

 ALFALFA ROOTS

The ranch of Charles Moore situ- ated seven and one-half mines west of this city on the Yuma road, will today be the scene of another demonstration of sub-soiling, the tractor outfit being t." same one which was dsed n the Glendale demonstration Tuesday.
 The field upon which the demonstra- ten Is to be held. has reached the oCn1lJion of what is known as "pud dled. CT in ether words the land has been pastured with cattle and the anim; Is tramped Gown the earth until it became exceedingly hard, and i'm pervious to water. Crops cannot be raised on it successfully until the sub sOiling has been brought into play.
 At the time of the demonstration Manager Ben Moses of the Yuba Trac tor Co, will be present to explain the workings of the machinery, and the material and time will be charged against the work. The demonstration is being held by Farm Advisor Arm strong.
 It is the plan at present to hold an other meeting in this same field next summer to observe the effect on the sub-soiled land compared with the effect on the adjacent soil which will not be treated to the process.

WORK OF BURGLARS
 FOILED BY POLICEMAN

Ar attempt to rob the New Meat Market. on East Washington street, was frustrated early this morning by Night Merchant Policemen Gaskin and Bradley.
 The two officers were passing the meat market at one o'clock and heard someone moving about inside the building. Suspecting that a burglar or burglars were at work, , one If the policemen went 10 the po- lice station. which is only half a block distant. to get help. the other officer remaining guard at the meat market.
 The man or men inside evidently took fright for when the police ar rived, no one could be found about the premises. It was discovered that an entrance had been effected via q transom over one of the back doors. 4 thorough search was made of the surrounding yards and out buildings. but no trace of the intruder could be found
 A hasty examination of the mar ket did not reveal anything missing and it is probable that the thieves were scared off before they had ac- cOmplished this purpose.

TRIBUTE WAS PAID
 ID DEAD TEACHER

The funeral of Miss Maria T. Will son, the school teacher who died re- gently at Winkelman, was held yes terday and was attended by a large number of friends. The services were conducted by Rev w. J. Sims of the Central M F. church. At the close of a feeling sermon he read the fol- lowing tribute to her prepared by Judge A. :. Hawkins.
 Having known Miss Maria T. Wilson so long and well and being a friend to all her family in AriZo- na, I feel it a privilege and duty to offer this tribute to her memory.
 She was in all things sincere, faithful and true. She loved her people, her country and her God, and following both the teachings and example of Christ. her Master, she went about doing good. for she was one who loved her neighbor as herself. She indeed led the self-less fife, caring not for her own comfort pleasure or convenience. sine devoted almost her existence towards help ing those less fortunate than her self. Her death is a sad loss to humanity but In the night of death. Hope sees a star and hears the rustic of a wing.

He Would Return ard Settle Up His Affairs, if Promised Immunity
 Sid Henry, alias Henry s. Green, has heen heard from again, this time from Winnipeg. but that does not signIfy that MT. Henry is conspicuously pres ent there or that his name appears in heavy black type with his address, on the city register. The letter is in reply to one from his creditors, sent through q son of Henry, an attorney at San Jose. Cal.
 The letter of inquiry was inspired by statement by NIT. Plunkett, trustee in bankruptcy, that the estate of Henry ought to meet all claims against it if properly handled and especially if handled by Henry himself under condi- tions by which none of the moneS- should pass through his hands
 Concluding his letter Henry writes: You see where I am at present but as I will not oe here when this reaches you, there would be no harm if some one should ask where the letter came from
 He enclosed the following proposition. which he desired given publicity: To Whom It May Concern:
 I have understood that several of my iIleHus ana creditors nave made an effort to get all creditors and the prosecuting attorney to agree in case that I will come back and do what can to settle the company's affairs and maNe it pay all liabilities in full. if pos sibie, and for me to be immune from any criminal prosecution.
 If this can he done. I will not only come back and make every effort to make the assets pay all liabilities, but in case anyone should not be paid in full. l will turn over any surplus I can make in tho next ten years, to assist in settling same.
