! The case Of U. S. Senator Poindex-
ter Of Washington affords an interest
II ing and illuminative incident at this
time, not because of the personal as
pect of ii but because of the light II
throws on the political institutions Of
this day. Senator Poindexter, elected
four years ago by the republicans be-
cause of the strong progressive" tGrn
of that state at the time, renOunced
the party a short time afterWard and
unitel with the third party With the
practical disappearance of the third
party he now declares his reafliliation
with the republican party and asks a
reelection to the senate at the head
Of its ticket. In the past, no man
who has antagonized a party as Wig
Iorously and effectually as Senator
PoindeXter has done could expect the
slightest consideration at its hands,
and Senator Poindexter, it is fair to
say, will get none so far as the organ
lied party is concerned. But, as things
fall out, party organization is now
wholly unimportant and negligible.
There is no known means by which
party counsel and party integrity can

its front and seek its highest honor
and reward, when prosperity seems
about to come to it again We speak
nothing here as to the merit or other
wise of Senator PoindeXter's public
views and actions and are interested
in them, at this time, only as exem-
plifying the present political struc-
ture. In this light it appears possible
to repudiate and defeat the main ten
cts of political party and yet be
come that party's main exponent and
favorte Under the convention sys-
tenn by which the organization Of the
party through its representative men
and leaders was, made dominant, Sem
ator Poindexter could scarcely have
become even a candidate, since tho
delegates would have all made it thpi'
first duty to rebuke recreancy to the
party cause. But under the direct pri-
mary system the leaders are power
less and Senator PoindeXter has al
least as good chance as anyone else
to secure the nomination at the polls.
But that is by no means all of It, II
he secures the nomination 1t will be
only at the cost of a bitter nternecine
struggle and then his troubles, as
well as those of his party, will have
only begun, If he secures the nomi-
nation, he Is almost certain to lose
the election. and so lose the senator

The average precipitation for the

Flowing was begun in the eastern
districts, seeding of small grain we'll

and range grass made an excellent
start. Vegetation was held back some

was made in the southwest to begin

The deficiency was greater in the

direction of the wind was from the

February and March were abnor-

in the form Of rain. Except over small
areas there was little addition to the
snow supply during the month and the
continued mild temperatures caused
the snow to disappear from the lower
elevations. Notwithstanding this melt
