Primary Is Doomed.


Cedar Rapids Gazette: After re-
cent experiences Iowa will almost
certainly abandon the presidential
primary, that has proved to be a
farce, and will as certainly repeal or
amend the laws governing state pri-
maries that have proved to be trav.
estes.
It has been demonstrated that the
county is the greatest unit in which
the primary can be benefciaHy en-
ployed, that it's workings in cities and
towns are satisfactory and that for
the township it might be made indis-
pensible and an agency of great vatue.
The effectiveness of the primary for
good depends wholly on personal &C
auaintance. Ali appeals by candf.
dates must be personally made and
must OF necessity fail 60 produce tho
best results unless the intimate
knowledge of qualifications. presup
posed by the law, is actually present
in the minds Of the voters.
If the state primary can be SO safe
guarded as to prevent its abuse 1t
may be possible to retain some OF It's
features. The members OF the gea-
eral assembly will be actuated by a
purpose to benefit government ana
will take no action until convinced OF
its propriety. There are sumcien-
reasons to condemn the law and these
will be ably presented by senators
and representatives who will be IN
opposition to its continuance in the
present form AS a means OF pro-
noting better government the pri-
mary in Iowa has failed. II one bene-
fit may be urged in its favor dozen
legitimate objections may be brought
for its condemnation.

RECURRENT LIVES.
THE CARNIVAL OF DESTINY, by Vance Thomp
son. Boston: Moffatt, Yard & Co.


The true lovers in the Valley Of Many Col
ored Grass-now and again, when they are
weary of happiness, kiss each other and part,
''but both go down into the life OF men. Ihey
yearn for each other and suffer until they find
each other; then they die and return to the
Valley of Many Colored Grass, where they
walk hand in hand until they must go again to
earth SO there is no end of love; nor is there
any change for evermore.
In such fashion the two lovers OF vance
Thompson's ''The Carnival of Destiny" come
and go and come through the ages, ever lind
ing one another, ever parting, and often trou-
bled in one appearance on earth by vague, fht-
ting memory instincts of an earlier being to-

There are eight meetings in the book, the
first one being in the days of reed huts, and
still-ingering earth-mists, and primitive men
who have not yet learned how to talk. After

Magdala; as the Lady Honoria, a daughter OF

TARIFF COMMISSION LEGISLATION.

National legislators have always been slow
to observe the insstent demand of manufacture
ers and businessmen that the tariff be taken
out of politics. Now that the administration
forces and the Tariff Commission League are
on position of common ground, it is hoped
that some substantial progress may be made
in formulating a bill creating commission. In
every essence, the tariff is an economic ques-
ton and the sooner that fact is recognized at
Washington just so immediate will there be
one more step taken in the journey toward in
dustriaI betteIment in the United States
The United States is the only great nation in
the world that has regarded the framing of
tariffs as a proper task for politicians and
legislative office holders. All other nations
have seen in the levying of duties an opportun-
ity for stabilizing and improving commerce and
industry at home and abroad-tasks worthy of

Tho Suffrage Defeat.

Waterloo Courier: It would have
been indeed phenomenal II woman
suffrage had won in Iowa this year
1t would have been something CON.
trary to all political precedent. This
was the Arst time Nhe reform was put
before the voters OF Iowa. None OF
the states that have suffrage now
voted it in after a single campaign.
Victory is not SO easily won as that.
Reforms like the Acknowledgement OF
woman are not attained In q singls
season. There must be long cam
paigns OF education and battle after
battle must be fought to the ultimate
victory that is sure to come.
Knowing this. the friends OF wonl-
an suffrage in Iowa are not discourag-
ed by the result OF Mondays voting.
They realize that far from being
blow to suffrage, the cause has ben
efited. It is a remarkable fact that
nearly 10000 votes we're mustered
for the women after the brief cam
paign that has been waged in this
state. The women undertook the fight
this year at a disadvantage. They
entered it IMMERSED in many Of thu
fine points about the game of poll
tics. They lacked thorough and ef-
ficient organization. They were han.
dicapped by the lack Of FUNDS. Thls
has been a campaign Of education 10,
the women as well as for the genera
public. They will be able to take UP
the fight four years from now un,
der vastly better circumstances anu
with far greater chances Of winning.
They will have as assets to begin with
the experience gained in the present
fight and the 10000 friends they
have won. They will have q chance
to perfect their organization and %
raise money to finance the fight:
Nor will the friends OF equal rights
wait until the hour for submittins
the amendment again has arrived to
renew ~ campaign in its favor. Ths
bs&tle WI go on. The issue will D.

IT COULDN'T BE DONE

Somebody said it couldn't be done. ! But he, with a chuckle, replied That maybe it couldn't but he would be one
 Who wouldn't say so till he tried. So he buckled right in, with trace
 of a grin
 On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the
 thing
 That couldn't be done, and he did it. Somebody scOffed, "oh, you'll never do
 that; < At least no one has ever done il" 1" But he took off his coat and he took
 off his hat,
 And the first thing we knew he'd E begun it; With lift of his chin, and a bit of
 a grin,
 Without any doubting or quit it, He started to sing as to tackled the
 thing
 That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it
 cannot be done;
 There are thousands to prophecy
 failure; There are thousands to point out to
 you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle in with bit of a grin, Then take of your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle
 the thing
 That cannot be done and you'll do it.

MORE.ABOUT SHELTER RATES

TT SEEMS that the Arizona Bureau of Mines and the
 Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco, T. A. A Rickard editor have been involved Tn somewhat of controversy as result of the by the former of part of an editorial on "Smeter Rates" appearing in the Mo have Daily Miner of July 27 last In the editorial in ques to was set forth that ten per cent copper ore need the shipper $174O per ton 40 per cent zinc ore SO to 1885, and 50 per cent lead $35 to $40 per ton at the price of the metals named at that me which hereby confirmed and reiterated The Miner also declared then and repeats at this time that there independent ore sampling companies all such concerns being mterWoven with the smelting trust its subsidiaries further maintained and it is still maintained that the large base metal mines either owned controlled by the Smeltng interests and therefore it is the independent and paratively small shipper on whose behalf we protest against the extoronate rates of smeng charged by the Shelter Trust.
 As Editor Rickard seems to doubt some of the state ments made in the editorial referred to relative to the said extortionate charges, the Mohave Daily Miner here with presents figures in connection with returns made upon recent single carload shipment of from in dependent shipper to of the plants of the Shelter Trust The ore per ton) gave the following assay and analysis:
 Gold O85; silver, 1179; lead, 115; copper 13; zinc 148; iron 88; lime 2O sulphur 186; nsoluble 94.5.
 According to the return sheet supplied the shipper by the plant handling the ore the smeter charge was $5O per on AS matter of fact it figures out the basis of the values above given $33.52 per ton.
 As the total gross value of the shipment in question was $O595 per ton not allowing anything for the znc and the shipper received only S7243 per ton there no dis $3352, which did not include wagon haul, railroad freight and switching expenses The total gross value of the entire lot of referred to was $23 but the ship per received only S67668 out of which he had to pay wagon haul railroad freight and switching expenses. In other words the smelter received $595 for setng the ore paying, will be seen 69 per cent of the metal values contained in the Ore not including the zinc It will be the shelter deducted 9 per cent of the gross value of the In the figures above due credit has been al lowed the iron and lime content and the ordinary pen ates AGAINST the zinc sulphur and insoubles It is the custom of smeters pay 9 per of the sver 9O per cent of the ead varying percentage for copper and $2O for gold This custom is explained in justice to part named first determined by fire assay and wet analysis
