The Primary.

There are not many who are op-
posed TO the primary principle, as
applied to elections, the objection
to the present primary law is its
intolerable interference with the
right and liberties of the voter.
It's mandate to abstain from vot-
ing for candidates of the voters
own choice, be they in this column
or that column, is an unwarrant-
ed interference with the right of
franchise.
Then, again, if it is right that
the candidate for a county office
must have a certificate of elegibili-
ty signed by at least 8 per cent of
the voters of his county, it ought
to be right that the candidate for
a place on the county committee
be required to petition and that
a certain percent of the voters
names should be signed on his petit
tion, which is not the case. can
didate for county committee men,
bership in thousands of cases in
the country districts receives one
vote and that's his own.
The primary might be effective
and commendable if employed in
the election of delegates to conven-
tions. 1t might be acceptable If
held one day for Democrats and
the next day for Republicans as
it is in New Hampshire.
As bad as the old caucus and
convention system was it had the
merit of giving expression to par
ty sentiment and party principle.

BUY Farm Lands Now.

The day of cheap farm lands in
the United States is about past.
The time when $1,000 would buy
farm of respectable size is fore
ever gone in probably seventy per
cent Of our country. And yet in
the northern half of the states of
Minnesota and Wisconsin there are
still a few million acres of land
that can be had at a price vary
ing from about SIP TO $50 an
acre. This land is so convenient
" situated to the great Middle
West farming district that it is
cause for surprise that this sec
tion has been so long neglected.
Probably this land offers as
good an opportunity to acquire a
farm for a moderate price as any
in the country. The fact that it
has been cut over in very recent
years and the big timber remov-
ed. may account for the low price
of the land. 1t is also undeniable
that the winters in northern Wis
consin and Minnesota are long
and cold. but the residents there
will tell you that the winters are
less disagreeable than those of
Iowa and. Nebraska.
OF course these lands are not
ideal for corn raising although
considerable corn is raised and it
always develops TO a point where
il makes first class ensilage. But
for dairying and the raising Of
wheat, potatoes, clover and ber-
ries. this country is almost unsur-
passed. In the summer the eli
mate is ideal and the thousands
of lakes in both states make this
region a JOY forever, as thousands
of tourists each year can testify.
In fact, it seems likely that this
whole vast lake region will before
many years find the tourist crop
one of its best, as has California.
What more sensible thing can
one do who wants a cheap farm
than to look to this great lake
section of the Middle West? 1t is
fast becoming the playground for
the whole North Central group
of states, and a few more years
will see these lands under the
same careful cultivation as those
of Illinois and Iowa.
The wonderful system of roads
that is being developed in much
of this territory is bound to bring
rapid development. OF course one
should investigate personally be-
fore buying, for these is consider
able poor land. But for the fam
ily Of moderate means desiring a
home in a most healthful climate,
it would seem difficult to do bet
ter than to investigate the farm
land in this wonderful lake region
of sky blue water and dark blue
berries.-Popular Monthly Des
Moines, Iowa.

JUST FISH STORIES

While we are about it, we
might warn Frank Belknap Of
Delevan that next year there will
possibly be placed a ban on too
many muskies," and while the
season is unlimited at present, he
had better get going at swifter
gait and get his fill of big fell
lows before the limit is cut. But
with a record of four this fall, it
IS understood that he has been ply
ing his art in musky captures for
Henry Rustad of Delevan, who
somehow cannot connect with one
of the birds" and is simply dy-
ing to hook and land one. Seems
as though the eighteen FOUNDER
Belknap caught Sunday was for
Mr.. Rustad. but that gentleman
left before Belknap could land
one. However, so It's said, the
fish was shipped Monday morning
To Henry and many will be that
different versions of its capture
by that man who operates a drug
store at Delavan. Again, one
might affirm, that that bunch
from Delavan has been given cd
dies of musky notoriety the past
three weeks in this column. Lay
off, fellows, lay off.
