Revision of Primary Statute.

AS the result of the stand taken by
Gov. Philip in his message on the
primary law, In which he advocates a
change back TO the convention system,
but with the delegates elected by the
people, it is expected that this question
will again become an issue In the state.
The governor is known to have many
supporters for his plan and they are
expected to put up fight for the
change.
Gov Philip said regarding the pri-
mary law in his message to the legisla-
ture:
''For two sessions | have advocated
a revision of the primary law. | think
it is fair to say that it is generally con-
coded that in its present form the law
is failure. No party organization
can be maintained under tin fact, it
has again been demonstrated within
this state the last year that the adj
nerents of one party may make an eff
fort to nominate the candidate for
another party in the hope of giving
their own ticket better opportunity
for success.
''Such methods are breeders of polit-
zeal dishonesty and demoralize the pol
itics of the state, and should not hsve
the sanction of law. For my own part,
/ regard the party convention the prop
er agency to fix its party principles
and nominate it's candidates, and the
only valid objection that was urged
against that system was the political
caucuses which nominated the dele
gates.
Gin order to obviate that feature of
the convention system which brought
it into disrepute, l suggest that you SO
frame your statute that the delegates
will be elected by the people at the
regular spring election in the same
manner as they cast their ballot for
their township and municipal officers.
The jurisdiction of the convention
should, however, be limited to state
officers, United States senators and
members of congress.

Huns to Wear Bark Shoes.

To help out in the present great
scarcity of leather and the consequent
dearth of footgear, a German army
authority recommends the Introduction
of linden bark moccasins such as are
worn by the Russian peasantry. Made
from the bark of young twigs, these
shoes are said to stand two years
wear; yet they are light and easy
and can be made to fit well. The lin
den forests of the prince Of Monaco.
near Laon, France, Germans say,
would supply sufficient bark to make
100000 shoes. and the making Of
them would furnish excellent light oc-
cupation for prisoners and slightly
wounded.

FRIDAY. JANUARY II, 1919.

The London Times medical corre-
spondent says it seems reasonable to
believe that throughout the world
about G, 1000, 900 persons persisted from
influenza and pneumonia during the
past three months. 1t has been esti-
mated that the war caused the death
of 20, OOO, 900 persons in four and half
years. Thus, the correspondent points
out, influenza has proved itself five
times deadlier than war, because in the
same period, at it's epidemic rate, inf1u-
enza would have killed 100, 900, 900.
Never since the Black Death has such
a plague swept over the world, he says,
adding that the need of new survey
of public health measures has never
been more forcibly illustrated.

Metallic Lead,

Evidence has recently been discov
cred which points toward the existence
of at least two kinds of metallic lead
Every sample of ordinary lead always
has exactly the same atomic weight
as every other sample, but lead from
radioactive minerals - lead which
seems to have como from the decom-
position of radium-has neither the
same atomic weight nor the same den
sity as ordinary lead. although in many
properties, including their spectra
they seem to be identical.

Liberty Buildings as Victory Monu.
mentS.

/ More than any other war Of history,
this one has been fought for principle
for liberty and the safety of democ-
racy. Principles may be depicted in
stone or pictured on canvas, but such
however beautiful or
symbolical, will not have life. A prin-
Iciple can live only in the lives of men,
and If it is our purpose to perpetuate
the cause for which the great war was
fought, we must constantly reiterate
and teach the principles of liberty and
democracy to each succeeding genera
ton.
This suggests that a memorial worthy
of the recent conflict be dynamic; it
must be a building that shall honor the
dead by immortallzing the principles
for which they made the supreme sac
rifce; it must be building common
Grating the service of the living by
giving service, rather than statue or
shaft in which there could not pulse
the life blood of new day. Reprinted

No Good Reason

James A Peterson of Minneapolis
indicted and convicted of violation of
the espionage act by jury in the
United States district court has been
given another breathing spell. AT
the instance Of the department of JUS
tice the hearing of his appeal to the
supreme court of the United States
has been postponed say indefin-
itely. The general opinion down here
is that Peterson will never serve the
sentence imposed. His friends con-
fidontially expect a presidential par
dom In the meantime his co-partner
in the crime alleged, Paul Dehnel, is
doing time as an enemy alien. Ano-
ther violator to feel the heavy hand of
the law is j. 0. Dental, former Soci-
alist candidate for governor who this
week was taken into custody to serve
year for a violation of the selective
service draft. The Grow Wing Coun-
ty jail will be Bental's abode for the
next twelve months. 1t would seem
that Peterson is as guilty as the 9TH
ers. Why should he escape punish
ment ?-Fairfax Standard.
