Observation-Disclosures

st. Cloud Times: There has been
much said as to the large number Of
Americans killed in Mexico since Will
son became president. Col. Roosevelt,
especially, has elaborated on this
point. 1t is true that Americans have
been killed, but, considering the peace
full condition Of Mexico under Diaz,
the number killed during the Roosevelt
and Taft administrations surpass those
under Wilson. During the Roosevelt
administration 60 Americans were kill
ed in Mexico, and 81 while Taft was
president. From February, 1913, Ill
Americans were killed in Mexico and
So outside by Mexicans. Since the
American troops were sent to the Dor
der 43 American soldiers were killed
a total of 307 During the period fol-
lowing the present troubles AL Mex
leans have been killed, many in Mexi-
co, and a large number in American
territory, civilians by civilians. It
frequently happens that Americans are
murdered on this side the Rio Grande.
This is followed by a posse Of Texans
and the killing of suspected Mexicans.

ERROR IN ITEM AS TO PRUNING

ERROR IN ITEM AS TO PRUNING
"Moderate pruning is better than
heavy pruning or neglect" This state
ment was to have been made in the last
issue of the Farm Press News, but it
appeared as "moaerate pruning is bet
ter than heavy prunino or regular"
Obviously the :tatement as it appeared
in the Press News is in error, but that
no one may be misled, the statement is
corrected here.
The statement appeart l as part of
an item to the effect that fruit growers
do not need to wait vi til spring to
prune their orchards, but may do so
at any time between November and
May if the usual care is taken to
make the cuts close to the main trunk
or branches.

A determined assault will be made
on the primary laws at this session of
the legislature. Whatever may be
said, the real motive behind the agi-
tation is to save the republican party.
It would seem that the lesson Of North
Dakota is lost On the stalwarts and
pseudoreformers who want to 60 back
to the old convention system. Senator
johnson of Center City is quoted as
saying that the primary laws have
done much toward disorganizing the
republican party, and have, filed the
legislature with unified adventures.
As matter Of fact, the last two legis-
latures have nasscd some of the best
laws ever enacted in this state, and
indications are that the present ses-
sion will see constructive legislation
Of the highest Importance to the state.
Mr.. Johnson ought to specify who the
small fry are that have taken advan-
tage of the situation. The old legis-
latures, chosen on the partisan plan,
had plenty men Of small calibre. The
opponents Of the non-partisan plan
show hardihood in assertions that the
old plan meant better and more able
men. The fact is that under the par
tisan plan the interests simply had to
control the leaders of one party-the
one likely to have a majority-and
thus controlled legislation. No one
seriously disputes this. Whatever the
defects of the non partisan system, at
least it is within popular control, and
the class of men sent to the legisla-
ture are on the whole as able, as con.
scientious, and as honest, as those
chh2aen under the partisan designation,
and much more responsible to the pop
ular will. They are not responsible to
party bosses, and that is where the
shoe pinches. The claim is made that
the democratic party has profted. The
facts hardly show this. The demo-
Gratis have never had, except in con-
junction with the populists many years
| ago, majority in the legislature.
There have been legislatures before
the non-partisan plan with more demo
Gratis than there are now. The repub-
lican party in states where the parti-
san designation is maintained have had
plenty of difficulties. For several
years that has been the national stu
alton. Progressive and anti-progres.
sive forces are at war in both parties
and no wonder there is trouble. It is
ridiculous to blame this general con
dition to the operation Of the primary
laws. The outstanding fact is that the
people have the means of emancipation
from party bosses at last in Their
hands, and they would be shortsighteo
indeed to give them up.
