THE PRIMARY COMPLICATION.

The supreme court has declared that even though "a meas
ure may have the emergency clause attached, it does not go
into effect until the first of July following it's enactment I'M
less the emergency be within the scope declared by the con-
stltutlon to be an emergency. In other words, the court holds
that the mere attaching of the emergency does not make the
law effective a moment sooner than if it contained no such
clause.
This being the case, and supposing the Legislature about
to convene Will do the governor bidding by passing an act
amending the primary law and lacking to it the emergency
clause, the republicans of the state will appear in the position
of having nominated their state and national ticket without
warrant Of law, and, therefore, in an illegal manner.
The question may arise whether an illegal ticket can be
legally placed on the official ballot next fall. This raises
another question, namely, whether in fact, in the event of the
attempted amending Of the primary law so as to fix the date
Garner than the present law contcmpIates, the republicans
VIII have a ticket at all for the campaign of 1916.
We are looking at this situation from the standpoint of
a court which delights in weaving and unweaving trchnicali-
Really, gentlemen, isn't the governor getting fine Ioois
iature and the party into rather deep water?
Under President Wilson's direction, the democratic
party will declare for preparedness at its national conventions
ho republlcans Will have met and determined the points which
they may regard as vital. If they are for preparedness. LET
them so declare i'll no uncertain manner. If they are against
preparedness, let them say so. Let there be no pvading the
issue! 7 Wv
The Sioux Falls Press asserts, it is said, that the supreme
court would uphold an amendment to the state primary in
the event the legislature should attach the emergency clause.

should so mold, we venture the suggestion that not a member

Secretary Lansing has sent mem
orandum to the diplomatic represen-
tatives of South and Central Ameri-
can republics, reviewing the situation
between the United States and Mex
leo, and stating that il eventualities
should be serious the purpose of the
United States would be to defend it
self against further invasion and not
to intervene in Mexican affairs. In
other words, Mr.. Lansing wants it
understood that the United States is
willing to keep an army of at least
a quarter of million men for several
years on the Mexican border, taxing
the people of this country half a bill
lion or more dollars a year, not to
speak of a bunch of its people being
killed occasionally until the Mexican
'cutthroats kill each other out. It's
the Stars opinion that the American
people will not stand for any such
program.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS

Editor Star: | hope your very
touching article 1.-THE Ocala Rifles"
in the Star of June 20, has been read
and remembered by many who never
before thought of the self-sacriice of
the few faithful "boys" who year
after year kept their little band to-
gether; and now in "our hour of
need" have so nobly given up what
few comforts and pleasures they did
enjoy, for the sake of duty. I have
seen the little column" drilling at
night and knew, too, that most. of
them were Woodworking "boys." I
never realized that it was for our
safety, each and every individual,
that they were preparing and willing
to protect with their lives if neces-
sary. Not until one who is dear to me
enlisted and has gone with the
"boyso did I have the least idea what
the loved ones of the few faithful
Rifles have so long borne in silence.
May God be kind to us and let each
and every one of "our boys" return to
us from the many dangers they may
SO soon face.
Then may we all after their noble
lessons of duty help and encourage
them in every way possible. We can
only ask them to forgive and forget
the past, by showing them we are
ready to help them in the future. And
the only way to do this is to remem-
Der that "all men are created equal
The only difference in people (society
in general) is environment and a
great many things that is merely a
streak of good fortune brought forth
by fair means or foul, that many
more are not handwriting men" to-
day. Reader.

A long article in the current issue
of Everybody's Magazine is given to
abusing the national guard, particu-
larly Gen. Foster, who led in the fight
for recognition of the guard before
Congress this winter and spring. The
sum and substance of the offense
seems to be that the national guard
sslobby' secured very moderate
amount of pay for the officers and
men of the guard. With so many USE
less grafters living on the govern
ment, and so many fat contracts
handed by congressman to their fav-
orites, it is only justice that men who
make as many sacrifices as our citi-
zen soldiers should have some pay.

who contributed to Cats; now he is
said to be taking collection to fight

Hammered down to brass tacks, the
matter of Knott's contest is like this.
There were about $4,000 votes cast in
the primary, of which Cats received
less than 10000. Mr.. Knott received
almost if not quite as many; perhaps
a few more. It is certain that there
were many irregularities in counting
the votes. A contest will prove who
the most ballots were cast for. II
Knott received one vote more than
Cats, the nomination should 60 to
him. If Cats received one vote more
than Knott, the nomination should go
to him. No honest man can object to
seeing the matter definitely proven.
