The primary would theoretically nominate a set of men for eacb of two theoretical parties, and the election would decide which of the two parties was to dominate, but here In Oregon, there being no dearly divided parties, where does ft come In? The people are all howl ing over what a great thing the direct primary Is, as It eliminates bosses from the party, bat the same people are doing their best to destroy the party by Statement No. 1, so It oc cnr to me to ask, Vbat good Is the primary anyhow? Theoretically, It narrows the field to two parties or so, but now It seems that It Is still possible for other can didates to enter the field and the on ly result has been to eliminate a few nndeilrables. So I would suggest, why not abolish the primary altogether and have one direct election and have It over with and the man who gets GEORGE FALXER, Pres. F. J. HOLMES, Tlce-Pres. F. L. METERS, Cashier.

Do prohibitory enactments affect the attitude of Heibo&lats to ward tie evil of intemperance?

Ellis eaters tie Peo ples Forum today with a ra:hr strange commuckatloa. In one sen tence he seems to admit that public sentiment is not wfth tie local option law, while in tie seit he urges the necessity of continuing it The Elder apparently has the correct under standing that the local option law is not backed by public sentiment even though a majority voted for it two years ago. A man from North Powder says: "I regret that to many people confuse our community with Baker county, when we are really a part of Cnlon. 1 have a high regard for Baker but I want to be classed in the Grande Ronde valley, the garden spot of the earth." That North Powder man Is not only patriotic, but he Is sensible.
