V DIRECT.. PRIMARY. ;
? It has been a common remark among
J large class of people that the repub
j llcan or the democratic party are dlp
ftated to by political bosses; that - a
i convention Is the result of a star, cham
ber proceeding with all the delegates
picked before hand and ..Instructed
t what to do... Many voters refused to
j go to the, primaries and vote for del
' egates to a convention for this reason,
J and frequently, they bolted their party
' ticket, thinking they could remedy the
evil, but they did not stop to consider
I that If one party packed Its conven
,' tlons, the other did also, but they had
an lnate desir to get even for some
: imaginary grievance and always did so
by assisting to defeat their own party
candidates, and often times got wors
men.
It waa this constant kicking that
actuated some one, to get up what Is
, known as the direct primary law, where
all the people would have an opportun
ity to assist 'in making- nominations
and where there would be no possible
V chance for a packed convention. It
"'was alleged In support of the new law,
' that politics In Portland were "rotten"
' and run by an unscrupulous political
ring, and for .this 'reason the direct
' . primary law would give the political
kickers an opportunity to participate
In the primaries. . . j
Direct primaries, has been recently
exemplified in Portland. Last week a
f direct primary election was held to
Dominate candidates for mayor and
coun'cilmen, and what was the result?
;. Kot one -half of the republicans of the
city even registered and not 40 percent
of them went to the polls and voted,
and 99 out of 100 of the stay-aways
( were the very men that had been yelp
ing for a direct primary law. They
bad no possible excuse. There were
five candidates for mayor in the field,
( representing the high moral element
the conservative element and the wide
cpen town element. One thousand of
these yelping hypocrites could have
gone to the polls and nominated any
other man besides George H. Williams,
bad they so desired. The stay-aways
could hAve nominated the entire muni
cipal ticket, but when they had an
opportunity, they did not take advant
age of It.
"And they all with one consent be
gan to make excuse. The first said
unto him, I have bought a field and I
must needs go out and see It; I pray
thee have me excused. Another said.
I have bought five yoke of oxen and I
go to prove them; I pray thee have me
excused. And another said, I have
married a wife, and therefore I can
not come." Luke xlv: 18-18-20.
The men who kick the hardest and
yelp the loudest are always the ones
who stay from the primaries or a
chool meeting or a meeting for the
discussion of some local enterprise, and
the object In staying away is to af
ford them an opportunity of exercis
ing the herldltary system, saturated
perogatlve of kicking. Even God AI
xnoghty In His infinite wisdom has not
made this world to suit tbem, and they
would emmlgrato from the Garden of
Eden because it was not constructed
according to their Ideas.

DWELL IN PEACE.
A city whise people dwell In peace
and harmony Is n Ideal place both
for residence and business. Constant
Wckerings and strife are productive
of no good. They engender animosi
ties and destroy that fraternal feellnt
that should actuate everyone who has
but a few short years to live upon this
earth. Many bitter animosities are
brought about by scandal mongers
who have no regard for the truth, bu
evince a desire to get even for sorm
Imaginary wrong or grievance. Peo
ple to whom these stories are told
are too often inclined to place cred
ence In them, when there Is no foun
dation in fact for them. Petty Jeal
ousies In business or in the social lift
are productive of a barrier of friend
ship that is seldom bridged over. As

ferences, for many of which there 1:

Astoria Is peopled by a representa
