so that at some future period our heirs
may have victims to exploit. The cost
of our success has been the crushing of
every hope and ambition in the class
below. We close our eyes to the an
guish and sometimes hunger this class

add insult to injury by holding our
selves up to them as examples of what
they might have been had they taken
the same course.
New Ulm review., 1916-06-14

In this everlasting chase for the
nickels and dimes to transform them
into almighty dollars, men are prone
to forget that the human race is made
up of individuals whose rights are equal
to their own. We are prone to forget
when we refer to the plutocracy OF the
world that our lives and acts are not so
free from criticism when held up to the
light of unbiased judgment. If many
of us were to take council with our
selves we would find the most startling
evidence of the presence of that SELF
same germ which we denounce as being
the disease of the present-day blue
.bloods of America-that greed for more.
We race on in our daily business pursuits
with a homicidal disregard of the next
man in line and if need be push away
from the trough others with ambitions
similar to our own. We say we are
prone to forget those whom we regard
as our equals upon the stadia of business
and society, but in this respect we pos
sess, for the laudable purpose of making
more, the one redeeming feature Of COM
bining our efforts with those similarly
situated. We see in others the image
of ourselves and gradually come to the
realization that others are not so bad as
we imagined and we are worse than our
self-esteem had permitted us to acknowl-
edge. We combine and cooperate
until at last we have reached the
summit of our ambitions. We have
become power in the business world;
the praise of our fellow citizens, lauding
us for our progressive business spirit,
is sweet music to our ears; by judicious
investments we have acquired a COM
petence and we anticipate the wishes of
our loved ones at home with lavish
abandon. But what has been the cost?
Who, during all the years when we were
ece-operating and combining with others
4 of7our class, were the ones from whom we
exacted daily tribute by the sweat of
their brow? What has become of those
scores who during the years of our activ-
@ity have labored necessarily for a pit
tance, while we have amassed snug
fortune? You will find the answer in
the hovel of the class below; that same
hovel which has sheltered misery for all
these years and is sheltering misery still.

General Dissatisfaction Over
Primary LaeU

Opposition to the primary law as at
present constituted is becoming gnreral
all over the state, nearly all the progress
i've newspapers conducting an editorial
page lambasting this freak legislation
at every turn. The latest to fall into
line is the Farm, Stock and Home, which
no doubt felt out it's readers carefully
and therefore expresses the sentiment OF
a large class of voters. The article follows:
1.-THE rather amazing results OF the
voters use of the direct primary is work
ing out to desirable end. One OF the
obvious weaknesses of this new system
is that it permits any man with few
dollars in his pocket to get his name on
the preliminary ballot and for any office
from dog-catcher to president: A fur
ther weakness is that when nonentity
has filed he is certain to receive consider
able number of votes, and under condi-
tions that can easily be imagined he might
even secure the nomination for office.
"This brings into sharp relief one very
real fault of our present elective system
viz; the extreme length of the ballot
and our prediction for voting for offices
regarding which we as individuals know
little, and for candidates regarding whose
fitness for such offices we know even less.
If the reader will recall the last presiden-
tial election he will remember the ex-
treme length of the ballot, the large num-
Der of offices to be filled and the still
larger number of names from which selec-
tion must be made in few brief minutes.
Theoretically this work of selection has
been carefully done before hand; practi-
cally, it is impossible for any average
citizen to cast an intelligent vote for more
than few of the candidates in question.
The erroneous theory that the power of
the voter to elect list of officials is proof
of his direct control of the government
has been fostered by the office holders
themselves until the list has grown so long
that a man of mediocre ability or even
no fitness at all frequently slips into an
important administrative position. The
fact that certain candidate in the North
west bears the same name as another
well-known political figure has given
this candidate thousands of votes in pre-
vious campaigns and undoubtedly will
do so again. This is no criticism of the
intelligence of the American voter; it is
merely stating the obvious fact that the
ballot is already entirely too long and
that instead of making the officers elected
responsible to the voters, as was intended,
it has exactly the opposite effect. The
remedy does not consist in discarding the
direct primary, but rather in shorten
ing the ballot. This will largely do away
with the freak candidates. that are now
such an annoying feature of the primary
campaign, and if necessary, supple
mentary legislation can no doubt
set a limit to the ambitions of men who
have no further qualifications for office
than pocketbook and a yearning."

VIEWS AND REVIEWS

-s .st
The primary law seems to have taken
the "pep" out of the Minnesota elections.
Not in the memory of man has there been
as peaceful "hustling" as there has been
in the year 1916. Ask the average citizen
who he is going to vote for and outside of
the governor and perhaps the senatorial
proposition he has not the faintest idea
who the candidates are.-Lake Wilson

people" laws are great! Nit
Over in Rice county Herman Roe,
of the Mortified News, is going to try
and get himself elected to the legisla-

would indeed be a disaster lie Sueur

A man may be a success in the business
world and accumulate riches but if he
has done nothing to aid and benefit his

in which he lived, it should not be said
of him that he made success in life.
On the contrary, he has been miserable
failure-a mere selfish individual seeking
only selfish gain.-Inter-LGke Tribune.

No thank you, our opinion concern
ing the primary law is not what it was
once. We are satisfied the people do
not have a preference at all, only a
privilege privilege to vote for some
one who by either begging, borrowing
or stealing, obtained money enough to
nominate themselves people have
nothing whatever to do with it. Even
the worst criticisms ever hurled at the
convention system are not equal to that
which can truthful1y be charged against
the present Minnesota primary law.
