H STATES l PRIMARY Law DEFECTIVE

Political thinkers have long ago come to the conclusion that
the primary law failed to do away with the evils Of the system
law, as a matter of fact, but the convention which frequently
corrected the mistakes of the caucus was abolished ana IN conse-
quence there is left no organized corrective force 10 prevent a
party carrying the burden of undesirable candidates o olHce
1t is rather significant that both the republican and demo-
cratic state conventions in Maine have resolved to ask people
through a referendum whether they wish to repeal the direct
candidates for senator, four representatives, In congress, governor
and auditor were selected a month or two before the primaries at
which the voters are supposed to have chosen them.
Under the old system precisely the same voters HAu ne IlgHI
to take part in the caucus who now go to the polls IN the primary.
If the bosses controlled the one, the bosses have the say IN the
other. The only change is in the name OF the process. The prl-
mary is merely a caucus under another name. Inc convention
which was relegated to oblivion was a possible corrector OF caucus
mistakes, and more often than not performed that junction. In
our own county of Cascade, the city OF Great Fails contains the
number of votes that nuHIfy the primaries o III flIA slrlcls
and that of the smaller townsaA resident OF Great Fans can get
the nomination for any office in the county against any candidate
from the country districts, and the more asprants there are from
drawal of all country opposing candidates in favor OF the one Sc
lected to make the race is no assurance OF victory as the same
tactics would probably be put in force In the dominating voting
centers. -
Those who have taken an interest in party politics are well
aware that names of men are placed on the primary ballots who
would not survive the first ballot in a party convention or VINO
would possibly never find a constituent with Inc nerve 10 nominate
them before a convention.
There are plenty of other arguments against the direct pi-
mary and there is a good chance of their being brought out before
the coming election, as it is quite likely that IN Montana also the
people will be asked to vote on a referendum measure to repeal the
law that has proved a complete failure. Not the least OF these ar
guments is the excessive expense to the taxpayers, which runs
other argument against the primary is that a man whose name be-
gins with "a" stands a better chance OF getting votes than one
whose name stands further down the alphabetical list; also that
a man who will spend money In advertising ma q better chaHce
than one who relies upon his reputation with his nelghbors.
The average citizen is perhaps taking no very great interest
in the pros and cons of the direct primary, but nevertheless 1t
takes no deep study of the matter to see where the average cltl-
zen is paying a pretty stiff price for a political luxury which so
far has failed to pay a single dividend.

FURTHER TESTIMONY

The activities of the red radicals which were SO troublesome
a year or two ago are not so noticeable these days, mainly owing
to a clearer understanding Of the conditions in those countries
where they had gained control and had put their theories into ae-
tuaI practice. The assertion that Russia has made progress under
Bolshevik rule would hardly be credited even by the most ignorant
of American audiences, for too much testimony that Is lmcontro-
vertibe has come out of that unfortunate country. Even those
who have the vaguest conception of Russia and its natural re-
sources know something is radically wrong when millions have
starved to death in a land that is capable of feeding almost the
whole world. -
information is now coming from Russia which is worth MOTTO
ing. They are written by Emma Goldman, who was deported to
Russia Is a n undesirable. and who had high hopes that she would
find liberty and social progress in Russia. She was speedily dis
ilusioned and finally escaped to Sweden. She cannot be accused
of any predsposition in favor of the old system, or of any desire to
go back to it, but as for Russia, she found it intolerable under the
belsheviks. #A
In Miss Goldman's view, the Russian revolution has been be-
trayed by the bolsheviki, who have established a worse tyranny
than under the worst of cars. The people have never been al
lowed to think or act for themselves. Any criticism OF enlne or
of his theories has been punished with death or Imprisonment.
The government, such as it is, is both inefficient and corrupt.
Elections are controlled by force or fraud. Food has been taken
from the peasants by force and then the government failed miser-
ably in attempting to distribute the same, and also failed IN sup
plying the peasants with the goods and manufactured. articles
promised them in return for the products forcibly taken away
from them.
The compulsory labor law was administered cruelty and I'M
inteligently. While it lasted it did nothing but establish a par
ticularly calling form of chattel slavery. The schools, which the
bolsheviki have boosted of, are wretched places, says Miss Gold
man. In most of them the children are starved and mistreated.
"Al the time was in Russia says Miss Goldman, Il heard but
one child really laugh" Can you imagine that?

VISIBLE EVIDENCE

can be accomplished by a little community spirit
of the right kind, coupled with enthusiasm, is conspicuously ap-
parent to anyone who viii take the trouble to walk through the
streets and alleys of Belt. The town has been to the cleaners and
it surely gives visible evidence that the job was thoroughly done
1t is not in the province of this article to give personal credit for
the most thorough cleaning the town of Belt ever had-we leave
that for the news eolumns-we merely want to call attention to
the fact that the community spirit is still alive and very much in
in Belt. 1t is a sign, to our notion, that we are getting
back to normally. We have been. through some rather bad sea-
sons; through times when individual problems were in the as
cendant. and we all know that when things are bad with us indi-
vidually we cannot give much thought or effort to civic or COM
munity affairs. 1t is only natural that our own private troubles
are the prominent ones, and in these periods of depression, let
George handle the public matters in his own way-and George
generally falls down on the job.
No doubt some Of us shirked a little in the cleanup campaign
& last week but there were eHeHgA=ef the faithful to do a most
,ommendable Job, and they have set an example that will help
the time comes to do it again.

A LATE SPRING

Although it has been an exceptionally late spring, a large pro-
portion of the faEmers of the Belt valley have their work well in
hand with a high percentage of the spring grain crops planted.
There is without doubt a higher percentage of moisture in the
soil this spring than for several years and the outlook for a good
growth IS excellent. Ali that is needed for the present is some
good growing weather. The hay crop promises better than for
several years, timothy fields especially have a good start. Pas
tnres. though backward, are beginning to furnish feed for stock
and a few days of warm weather will bring them in fine shape.
A wet field is not a pleasant place to labor in, either for
teams or the driver, but if the farmer of this section had a choice
it is a safe bet that he would prefer an excess of moisture rather
than dust.
There m a few fields of winter wheat in this section that are
noticeable for their fine appearance and although the tendency
for the past few years has been to SOW more spring wheat than in
former wears quite a few farmers are expressing themselves as
in favor of the winter varieties, and it is possible that a great
acreage of the famous Turkey Red and other varieties will be sown
next fall on the summer falowed lands. Practically all the farm
of the Belt valley will summer fallow a large proportion of
their fields during the coming season.
