Charges Of fraud in the primary eleeton are made
with apparent basis Of truth in the nature Of the re-
turns from precincts. But whether true or not
the fact that opportunity is given for fraud in the pr
mary law is sufficient TO such charges to be made
That opportunity should be cut Of, II for no other rea
son than to give people greater confidence In the
purity Of elections and therefore larger respect for
officials and the laws Belief Ia election frauds and in
crooked methods Of legislation and official admnisra-
ton weakcns respect for Law and makes all law enforce
ment more difficult. That Il reason enough why our
primary law the primary system il to be retained
should be amended that there would be constant
suspicion and allegation Of fraud whether there is actual
fraud not One Of the principles Of evidence is that
when there exist both the intent to commit an act and
the opportunity to do IT. commission Of the act may be
inferred There general belief In the intent OF politi
cal bosses and their political machine workers to manp
uate the ballots and returns to the full extent possible
under the protection of the secrecy Of the ballot and
to take large chances Of exposure and punishment Nat
urally belief in this intent combined with the oppor-
tunity afforded by the sealed ballot boxes in primary
elections leads 10 belief in the actual commission Of
fraud, not without warrant at times.
The fight to have the ballot boxes opened for re-
count of the votes in contested elections has been
long one. It was stubbornly resisted on the ground
that nopen ballot box permitted intimidation Of voters
It was held that electors would not dare to vote they
desired if it possible for others to ascertain how
they voted and punish them for it, Political bosses
the strongest opponents of the open ballot box and the
most persistent defenders Of the ballot not for
the sake Of the timd voter in whose they argued
but to preserve their own power and their opportunity
to manipulate the returns In many states the fight for
an open ballot box has been far the general
election is concerned but the primary election still has
the closed ballot box and the opportunity Of stufng
with fraudulent votes of miscounng the good votes and
of making returns at will regardless of the votes, if any
judges willing to run the risk OF indictment for
fraud under which conditions the ballots may be e.
amined as evidence The principle Of contest and re-
count Of votes which obtains In the general elac
ton should be extended to the primary election, which
is Of more Importance to political bosses, because it is
there they get their candidates nominated and their
elected through whom the political ma
chinery is operated Until the primary system is aban
doned for better one should be made pure and
in every way the general election There
should be neither fraud belief in fraud nor oppor
tunity for fraud.-St. Louis Gobe-Democrat.

FREIGHT RATES.

Statisticans who have not taken the trouble to
slider the reasons for and the intended effect Of the in
crease in freight rates granted to the railroads have
figures out that it will increase general commodity prices
and will add 81 day to the cost Of living Of the
American family AS a matter Of fact, 1t ought to do
nothing Of the sort Indeed 1t should result in reducing
living expenses.
Much fthe high cost of living has been due to the
scarcity caused by poor transportation Because OF the
broken down condition Of the railroads there has been
in nearly all the centers Of consumption shortage of
commodities that has made proecrng possible in some
of them and high prices inevitable for nearly all Prices
of farm produce have been high in Chicago and other
cities not because Of short crops but because the rail
eus have not been able haul enough o. the produce
to meet the demand. Coal is scarce and its price is
high chiefly because the railroads haven't been able to
furnish enough cars to haul the coal away It was
mined and thus keep the mines in operation Indirectly
the shortage of cars the Of the recent strike
Of the coal miners.
Throughout the United States many products Of farm
and mill and factory are stacked up loading platforms
and in freight houses waiting for to haul them to
market In many sections sidngs and freight yards
lined with loaded cars which, for lack of locomotives
labor the railroads cannot move Interest pilng up
every day on the money loaned goods thus delayed
and is stiT further increasing their cost.
1t was primarily to relieve this condition that freight
rates were increased furnish the railroads with money
to buy the equipment and employ the labor necessary
break the blockade ard restore to It's normal flow the
movement Of commodities from the point Of origin to
the markets where they in demand When that has
been done we shall be relieved Of much Of the scarcity
that has been one of the principal causes of the high
cost of living and prices must naturally fall.
IT, therefore, the railroad officials devote their addi
tonal revenues the purposes for which they are in
tended if they buy needed equipment employ such addi
ona labor as is required and operate the roads in such
way as to give the public efficient service, the addi
onal freight rates viii not increase but win materially
decrease the cost of living.
The matter is now clearly up to the railroads For
years they have been able plead poverty to
any criticism of the bad transportation service from
which the country has suffered They can do so ho
longer. This is their opportunity to make good The
