Since 1898 Bobby has been
steadily leaving the cream Of
the worlds golfers behind him.
In 1923, Jones won the American
Open. The next year he captured
the National Amateur, repeating In
that event in 1925. He was dnalist
in last years National Amateur,
losing to George Won Elm.
Meantime, against the profes.
SIGNALS he got tie in 1925 with
Willie Macfarlane, only losing this
title on the second playoff. In 1925
Bobby won the American Open,
the British Open and followed this
performance by returning to Eng.
land in 1897 and repeating.
Bobby's performance on the
st. Andrews course this year in
shooting 205, q course and open
championship record. gave rise
to talk that the young Albanian
had finally reached the zenith
of his golf career and might
well rest upon his laureIS.
That he refuses to BE- content
with past performances was amply
indicated at Minnikahda. He won
the qualifying medal with 142 for
So holes. including the e., q course
record. Then he shot So against
Harrison Johnson, Of the home
club. and fallowed it with q So
against Francis Ouimet.
That Jones still had plenty Of
faultless golf in his system was
revealed Saturday when he chalked
up a 81 against Chick Evans on
the first Is Of the final round.

X of the death of one of its good men
a and good friend, Jens Schou. Not only
was Jens Schou valued member of the Red
wood County Board of Commissioners but he was
a valued citizen, an honest and upright man, a
loyal and understanding friend. To have his
life snuffed out suddenly, to have him taken out

a shock and a loss as well as grief Jens
Schou living example of what be done
in this great America of ours by one who comes
to it endowed with native good sense wiling
ness to work, and honesty in dealing with the
men and women about him. He was success
full man in many ways, and that success all
of his own earning. Having earned it he was
willing to share it with others and this made him
inclined to be very liberal all public questions
such the affairs of his own township, his own
school district, his county, and with those more
direct social agencies such as the Child Welfare
work, the Red Cross and other activities to
which he had given his time, his good will and
his money. Just few weeks before his death
Redwood County lost another valuable when
"Chris" Frederiksen passed away. 1t remains
for the other citizens of the County to carry on
little harder and with little more seriousness
of purpose in order that the good works in which
these were active may not suffer by their
loss. Jens Schou was everybodys friend-let all
men do reverence to his memory.

THE PRIMARY


whole law:
at was on September 16, 1902, that the
first primary election for the nomination of can
didates of the various political parties was held
in this state
"The law as first applied only to county and
congressional candidates, and was later extend
ed to include state candidates.
"The latter extension was made as piece
of legislative strategy in an unsuccessful effort
to wipe out the primary altogether.
Continuously for 25 years, the primary has
been cussed and discussed but still it has stood.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago The Tribune said:
"More votes were cast at the primaries last
Tuesday, and more people had voice in the ap-
pontment of the candidates than ever before,
and this alone ought to do away with most of
the sentiment favoring the abrogation of the
system. The people want voice in the choos-
ing of candidates for public offices, and will not
allow the adjustment of system which gives
this prerogative"
sand there you have it.
"The system has been continued because it
"gives the people the choice"
"No objects to that.
"But its weakness and a weakness that be-
comes more and more apparent as the years 60
by, is that it gives the people the choice only
between the sef-seekers who present themselves
"The primary has no machinery for the call
ing of men to public service.
"That is it's weakness
ut is really surprising that for 25 years we
have gone along tolerating this patent weakness
of the primary.
"Law and public sentiment should permit q
pre-primary convention, run as each party wish
es to run it, without elaborate machinery, and
the nominee of that convention should 20 into
the primary with the prestige of party endorse.

''The whole thing could be so easily and sim.

it's wonder it has not been done years ago.
''The reason it has not been done is on &C
count of the reaction from the "boss-controllet
conventions" One would think that they mus
