Spring river got on a regular
tear the latter part of last week.
Saturday night the water was
splashiug up on the floor of the
first bridge east of town. The
water in the road between the
bridges was more than six feet
deep. 1t was, we believe, the
highest water Spring river has
had since the winter of 1895. AT
that time the water ran almost
four feet deep on the floor of the
first bridge.

A GOOD WAY OUT

4 T the annual convention of the Min
n nesota Republican League at ST..
Paul, it was voted that the primary
election law of the state should be amend
ed so that candidates for congress and for
all state offices shall be nominated in par
ty conventions by delegates legally elected
at regular primaries. The president Of
the league was instructed to appoint a
legislative committee of five members who
shall draft such changes in the law and
press them for passage through the leg
islature The fact that the Republican
League should take such a decided posi-
tion is not at all astonishing, but it is re-
markable that the resolution was adopted
at time when nearly five hundred dele
gates were in the hall and not a vote was
cast against the proposal. Not voice was
raised in dissent. Included among the
delegates were representative Republicans
from almost every county in the state.
These men have had full opportunity to
judge of the primary law as it now stands
and they were unanimous in demanding a
change. The committee of the League
which had the subject under considera-
tion was composed of men of high char
acter and reputation and while they per-
sonally favored more drastic changes it
was considered good policy to approach
the question in more moderate manner
and give the people ample opportunity for
decision" The primary law, We wish to
state, is, in our opinion, an abomination.
We have said it before and we say it again
it is first-aid to the self-seeker and the in
competent; it does not make for high
standard, it does not induce the men best
fitted to hold public office seek public Of
flee. 1t places premium on dollars and
initiates against merit Away with it J

KEEP THEM AT 1T

IF you are neglecting any opportunity to
give your children a fair education
1 you are not doing your duty to them.
You can mark it down right here that in
twenty years from now the youngster who
wants a job will have to have something
besides an excuse to offer. The world do
move. In the present age lot of us who
have succeeded fairly we'll with a very Inn
tied education, probably do not realize
strongly enough the change that is tak-
ing place, and the hardships that the pres
ent set of youngsters will be required to
undergo if they are not properly equipped
educationally. Experience is fine teach
er, but the process is long and painful. The
absorption method'' of learning is rapid
ly becoming a thing of the past. Note
well the fact that in a very few years the
heads of industries will not have time to
take up young men and teach them the
things they ought to have learned in
earlier years, and, at the same time, break
them into a business, the foundations of
which they would grasp great deal more
quickly if they were we'll educated. Think
it over Give the boys and girls chance
for the future-Leader Democrat.

READING NOTICES
AN ODE TO RAMSEY PARK

This Park is temple O Friend, for you,
The smile of it's flowers all sparkling with
dew,
The laugh of the river, the sigh of the
trees
So filled with contentment- with
the breeze;
Will smooth out the wrinkles that furrow
your brow,
And make you believe in the love that is
now,
Will bid you lie down in the cool of the
shade,
And thank the kind Maker that well you
were made;
Will soothe and caress you and cause you
to dream,
That life flows along just as smooth as
the stream,
That idly you watch stealing swift on its
Bearing on to oblivion your cares of the
God lives in the hearts of the little wood
flowers,
God lives in the sunshine that brightens
your hours,
So worship Him here with the elk and
the deer
This Park is your temple, so be of good
cheer
And smile at your work in the heat Of
the day.
When you think of the restt-place just
over the way,
For it's just small hint of that home
over there
Where there's no more of trouble and no
more of care.

amendment will primarily benefit North

Section 5172
When noxious weeds are so intermixed

REGARDING AMENDMENT NO.

THE Princeton Union says: Amend
ment No. provides that out of the
sale of school lands $250,000 shall
be set aside for land clearing purposes and
that whenever man buys land which has
been in part cleared by the state he shall
pay back to the state the cost of the clear
ing in addition to the price paid for the
land, and his money then goes on helping
to clear up additional acres. 1t is a propo-
sition that should appeal to every voter
The amendment makes it easier for man
with small means to open up home, and
yet it does not take one cent out Of the
taxpayers pocket. He who can oppose a
proposition of that kind is assuredly small
souled." We agree with and endorse every
word of the above. At their recent meet

900 LEADERS IN
CONFERENCE To
: Unite VOTE IF
PROGRESSIvES

In the 1914 campaign the progress
siye vote was divided among five
candidates for governor.
In that campaign the conservatives
were united on a single candidate.
The inevitable result was the nomi-
nation of a reactionary, though he
received less than one-third of the
republican vote cast at the primary.
To prevent repetition of the folly
of dividing the progressive vote, 500
progressive leaders representing every
section and county in the state, signed
a call for a conference which should
recommend to the progressives of the
state candidates for all the state

big business politics, that Wisconsin
stands out still as the shining light to
guide them to the way of better gov
eminent and better things. Let the
news go out that the Progressive Re
publicans of Wisconsin are united

cause they stand for principles first,
upon which there has never been any

Conclusion.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
convention, these are some of the
reasons which move me to ask those
who have voted with me in this con-
vention, and those who have voted for
any candidate other than Mr.. Hatton,
to join with me in making this great
Progressive leader, this able and COM
prehensive statesman, Honorable Will
liam H. Hatton, the unanimous nOmi-
nee of this convention. (Great ap-
plause.)
Let us take back the word to the
hosts Of Progressive Republicans of
Wisconsin who have sent us here to
do their work-that we have felt the
beating of the pulse-and have ap-
preciated the loyalty of their approx
ing hearts-in doing the great work
we were sent here to do.
They will finish the work we have
begun, and make the restoration of
representative government complete
and everlasting in Wisconsin. (Great
applause.)

of learning, throughout the land, and
throughout the world. (Applause.)
Proud of Wisconsin.
We have much to be proud of here
in Wisconsin. We still have more to
be thankful for if we can preserve this
heritage for those who are to follow
after US. We have been proud of the
leaders who have led this fight We
have learned to love all of them. 1t
may be truthfully said that it is
known amongst all honest men who
know the truth that the man who has
been first and foremost among the
leaders of this great fight is our senior
senator, Robert NJ. La Toilette, now
recognized by the best thinkers of his
age, as the most comprehensive, far
seeing reformer and statesman of his
time. (Great applause.) We -ove him

for what he has done for our state and
for US, and for what he has done and
is doing, for our children We love
him for the place he has won for Wis
eonsin. We love him for his unselfsh
devotion to, and for his profound sac
rlfices, for the great cause of Progress
sive government everywhere. (Great
applause.)
We, who have voted consistently for
Francis E. McGovern admire and love
him for the service he has rendered to
the Progressive cause in Wisconsin,
but we none the less, admire and love
Honorable William II. Hatton, who
has given years of thought and service
to this great cause of ours. (Applause)
While we love and admire these great
leaders of ours, we have come together
here IN conference assembled more

here in this conference assembled
more to attest our loyalty to the prin-
ciples which Progressive Republican
ism stands for. We are for principle
first and men afterward. (Great ap-
plause.)
For the State.
Men are leaders today, but under
the laws of Nature and Natures God,
they soon pass from the scenes of bat
tie and tomorrow their fame passes
into history, but the principles for
which they have stood, the everlasting
principles of representative govern
ment, the foundation stones of this
great republic of ours, live on so long
as time shall last
We meet today not to serve indi-
viduals, but to serve society and our
state and country. We meet to effect
