The jiresent system of conduct-

the minority party. It has been
the means of nullifying the use
of political parties entirely. No
longer is it necessary for the pre

government of the state of Ore
Ron and the various counties that
great political parties should ex

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.

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

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. Public manteis

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
