It has been the means of nullifying the use of political parties entirely. No longer is it necessary for the pre servation and conduct of the government of the state of Ore Ron and the various counties that great political parties should ex 1st. These things have lioen mpiy demonstrated, I here is absolutely no use for a primary election and a general election. Parties no longer cut anv fieure. No longer can a man who is nomi nated by his party expect or look for the support of that party. If man is defeated in the primary election for nomination to office y his party, he generally turns n Ins successful opponent and ?iuier organizes a new party or 'lops to the other party. With these conditions which have been brought about by the present method of conducting elections in the state, already firmly estab lished, why not do away with one of the elections? Why not let every man who has political aspirations put his name on the ballot for the office he wants and then vote on the whole bunch without regard to political par ties? It would save money to the taxpayers and the candidates. It would make shorter campaigns. U would be the means of getting just as good men as under the went method.

Other matters have been some what forgotten but the officers have been elected and we have to abide by the result. The prin cipal business of the Mist from now on will be to give the news of St. Helens and vicinity and let the people know that St. Helens is still growing and taking on more life. There are several new enterprises slated to start within the next few months which will add very materially to our al ready large pay roll and make the oonulation increase very rapidly. Of these things it will br our duty to keep the public informed. CONSUMER'S MONEY For every 100 cents which the consumer pays for food, only 35 to liO reach the producer. About lo cents lor transportation iiiik" and the rest are absorU'd by profits and ex-venses of the various middle men. A recent comprehensive in vestigation in New York showed that while no middleman makes an excessive profit, there are too many of them between the producer and consumer, says an export in Farm and Home. Various plans have been tried to bring these two parties nearer to gether so that the consumer can uu, for less and the producer get more than at present.

They work bet- that enough real Kepublicans ter in cities of 15,000 to 60,000 fruit and vegetable supply. Now farmers bring in their wagons load ed with fruits, vegetables and oth er products, and sell out quickly to either retailers or consumers who come with baskets and bags and Uike home enough for several days' supply. The experience at Waterloo. Ia., a city of 30.000 people, is typical of many others. A farmers' market is maintained where farmers may offer their produce for sale at any m ice thev can get. From 500 to 3000 people gather daily to buy these products. They come with baskets and buy from a few quarts to a half bushel at a time, borne farmers drive 1 to 20 miles, but most of them not over seven or eight. There are 30 or 40 store keepers who are kicking, but 30, 000 people are happy, so the suc cess of the plan can be voted as nearly unanimous. During the last two weeks of the campaign many communica tions were sent to the Mist on various measures to be voted on, principally the Single Tax. Ow ing to the length of the articles and the lack of space in our pa per we were compelled to leave them out. One article on this question by Mr. A. M. Parker of V'ernonia was really a first class argument against the measure and we had fully intended to publish it, but when the paper wan made up there was no pos sible space for it so it had to be laid aside. This paper is always ready and willing to publish any article on any important question and we trust that the persons who sent us articles that were icatior.s on important questions.1 ?"
