Give Us Genuine Direct Primary Law

The Republican majority of the Colorado assembly
direct primary law outright, and goes back to the old
convention system.
The evils of the convention plan long ago
demonstrated and the subversion of the peoples
Of corrupt political machines under that plan that
rise to the popular demand for direct primary
means of making party nominations.
Unfortunately, Colorado did not get and it never
has had, primary law of the kind that has worked
successfully in other states The Colorado law gave
open primary without any provision for party regis
raon and under this law it has been possible for any
voter Interfere the primary of another party IN
stead of being limited to "A vote in the primary of his
party
The Colorado primary law also has kept alive,
der the name of assembly the old convention and thus
have had in reality double SYSTEM with double
pensc and double bother
1t may or may not be true that the Colorado
primary law deliberately planned with the purpose
of disgusting the people with the direct primary, and
thus compelling return TO the old machinedominated
convention plan The result is the according to
either theory and it is with the result that have
to deal.
Colorado should not 90 back to the old convention
plan until the people have had fair trial of genuine
direct primary
The unconditional repeal of the present primary
law this time will surely be taken by the people as
proof that returning to the old evils that come
from the control of political affairs by the bosses of
partisan machines.

of urban population since 191O when only 456 per cent
of the people lived in town.
General comment upon these figures will be along
the line that such increase of the city population
in accordance with the best interests of the nation
but the question is not altogether onesided.
In this connection it is well to remember what
Abraham Lincoln said about a mans legs that they
ought to be long enough to reach from his body to the
ground The strong probability is that they will always
be just that length. For similar it is probable
that the percentages of urban and of rural population
in any nation will be such will best serve the needs of
the nation whole
This principle is clearly demonstrated by the figures
shown for the several states The cities are the
suit of the development of industrial needs and COM
mercial opportunities People so to the cities from the
country and from the small towns because the nation
needs the things that the cities produce and the services
that the cities supply These needs are made manifest
IN terms of higher wages, and in attractive living
conditions, these latter including all the social educa-
tonal financial and other superior conditions of city
life.
But if the cities come to have larger proportonutc
population than fits the nations needs that fact will
be shown in rising cost of farm products and in de-
clinng scale of city wages with increasing unempoy-
ment.
1t is true that farm labor and city labor are not
readily interchangeable, md even more difficult
to make farmer out of a manufacturer or a manu-
factnrer out of farmer. But in the long run such
changes actually made.
The increase of city population, therefore, is TO be
regarded not much proof that there an evil in
fuence at work to take the boys away from the FARMS
but rather the proof that the nation has needed larger
city population and has been able to get along with
smaller country population The ten years may tell
quite different story.

PERSON FOR MONEY:
Copyright, 1890. by The Wheeler

During the carly part of the last
century there was, in England a con-
stable named John Dun. who was a
past-master OF his profession. an ex-
trcmely successful collector OF debts OF
all li' Is. No Job WAS 100 hard for
him 10 tackle. no debtor too callous
for Dun to prick his conscience or
shame him into payment in one way or
another.
One of tho constabIS's pet schemes
was to call upon the debtor twice. and
on each OF these first two visits he
would wear his ordinary clothes. Then
IL tho debt was still unpaid and there
was no doubt that tho obligation
should be met, Dun would adopt the
strategem OF dressing in some out
landish costume-a scarlet cloak or a
pair OF green tights-so as TO mako
himself as conspicuous as possible.
Thus attircd, and ringing bell IN or
der TO further proclaim the reason for
his visit, he would return n third
time, and II was seldom that the debt
or withstood more than one of these
public announcements OF his dclin-
quency.
Because Constable Dun WAS so sue
cessful in the collection OF money due.
IL became common in such cases TO

to get It," and the expression PERSIST
ed long after the constable himself was

Smoking was practiscd by tho most
