We learn from the EASTERN press
that the peace ia X In Europe the
past week, shrrurk .he fictitious val
ues of Wall street rtock to the ex-
tent OF over $3OO,0OO,000.
This sudden shr nkage of values, in

means of SO disturbing the financial
equilibrium of the country, as to
cause panic that would have
brought destruction In its wake. But
thanks be to u Democratic president
and congress wtho placed the region
al bank law upon the Statute books,
that separates the money of the coan-
try from New York's stock gambling
board, and their Wild specnlations no
longer produce tremor upon the

LET LEGISLATORS TURN AT
TENTIoN TO PRIMARY LAW

TIE present direct primary law
will undoubtedly be largely amended,
or repealed, by the incoming leg.s-
lature. according to sentiments al
ready expressed by senators and
members OF the next house.
The law as 1t row Sands has prov.
en- very unsatisfactory to the major
ity OF the people, irrespective OF par
ty. The law tends to create ddssen-
sion in party ranks as was exempll-
fled at the last primary election in
the Republican nominees for govern.
or. as we'll as in many ct the local
county elections, where the success
fun candidate incurred the i'll will of
opposing factions in the PARTY, that
resulted in disadvantage at the GEN
eral election.
The law has also been found to
be very expensive to the taxpayer, in
asmuclh as the cost to the counties
for suclH elections vary from three
to seven dollars per registered vote.
The extra cost TO the Gilpin county
taxpayer at the last pr mary election
approximately was $4,000, to say
nothing of the extra expense BORNE
by the successful and unsuccessful
candidates.
When TIL law was first made, in
theory it seemed feasi BILE, but its
application has proven most disas-
trous IN many ways, and it is to
be hoped that these points may be
eliminated. or the law repealed for
lack of efficiency.
