I HE PRIMARY election In Wash
. Ingf on Tuesday furnishes an
opportunity for journalistic
.champions of standpatlsm and
ring-rule to attack- the primary nom
lnatlon law, though, on examination
their . criticisms and complaints are
found to ba, mostly mere windy, vag
rant railing, without any apparent
conception of the real reasons and
purposes behind the ' law. We are
told that it "produces disorder" In
the ranks rof the majority party,
. that unfit men present themselves
for office, whom the people nom
inate by pluralities only, and that, in
a word, it is a disorganizing and dis
concerting sort bt system
But we see .nothing yet In the re
sult In the state, of Washington to
discredit the law. The' undoubted
choice of the majority of Republi
cans, or at least a large plurality.
has been nominated for senator, and
Will without doubt be elected, near
ly all nominees for the legislature
being pledged to vote for the prl-
mary election nominee. A Republi
can convention might very likely
have renominated Senator Ankeny,
, for he has great means of bringing
about such a result In a convention
of politicians, hut the people, no
doubt correctly, think that they will
be better represented by a very dif
ferent type of man. At least they
prefer. Jones to Ankeny, and that Is
an all-sufficient answer to all objec-
' ti'ons. riv. ;..
So in ,the. case of governor. There
! were three strong and several weak
er contestants. In such a case vot-
era must vote for both first and
second choice, and if no one has 40
per cent of first-choice votes the
. second-choice votes are also counted,
and the nominee Is thus determined.
It appears at present that Mr. Cos
grore la clearly the choice under the i
law. Nearly as large a percentage
of Republicans voted for McBride,
and also for Mead, as for Congrove,
and other candidates were voted for,
but more voters preferred Cosgrove
- than either of the others, and so
v be becomes, the nominee. No one,
with three or. more candidates, could
get or could expect a clear major
ity of first-choice votes. A plural
ity la sufficient, Is fair, and is a
necessary test. Under the conven
tion system men are frequently elect
ed to Important offices by only a
plurality of a party's votes,, by per
haps 5 per cent of 55 per cent or
20 per cent, of the total vote polled
; and nobody complains about that.
So to aay that Jones, qr Cosgrove,
or any other' nominee, received only
v t plurality. Is an objection without
merit and Ib made merely to try to
create an ill-founded prejudice
against the primary system
.Would there have been any better
results If a lot of delegates had come
together, and acting under the dic
tation of few machine-running
bosses had selected a ticket? As
able men might have been named,
kut they would hare been nominated
with the understanding and on the
condition that their first and chief
duty in public office was not to the.
people but to the party.' to the or
ganisation, to the machine, to the
bosses, men who were making a
business of politics for what there
was la It for them, the people's only
part In the program being to vote
the straight party ticket and pay the
taxes. Oherwlse they were to bare
nothing to aay; fa 'the-opinion of
tht bosses, the people are not fit
for self-government anyway.
This brings . the subject up to
the mala reason, the vital, basic
rrlnclrle. tha chief parpoM, of the
primary law, and this yoar machine

Piftv-two vears have passed since
Tolstoy fought in the Crimean war as
a voting otricer. Mere ne learneu ine
hardship, and here it was that he de
termined to devote his Ufa to the wel
fare of the people. He practiced what
he preached, and has since lived a life
of toil and privation. He stripped his
the rights and interests of labor.
Such an organ of the plutocratic
interests in this city insinuates ln
this connection that it has been as
sumed that workingmen's votes are
largely purchasable, and It scorns
the imputation that votes are ever
purchased in a presidential election
in this country. Of course the votes
of real workingmen are unpurchas
able, in the ordinary sense of that
term; they cannot be bought at bo
many dollars apiece; but if men who
have to earn their living by working
for others are threatened with loss of
work and starvation for their fam
ilies, If they vote one way, and' with
steady employment at good wages If
they vote the other way, this, if rot
purchase, is intimidation, coercion,
and the votes thus cast' are not free
votes. They are the votes of the em-
ployera and not of the employes. And
that this means of coercion was suc
cessfully resorted to ln 1896 and ln
1900 everybody knows, and that
great numbers of workingmen voted
for McKlnley on, this account alone.
And we don't blame these men for so
Toting, if as they evidently did, they
believed their threatening employ
ers. Tbey at least were not sore
that what was promised or nredicted
ould not come to pass. And a man
with wife and children to feed and
clothe is not going to let them suf
fer for the sake of voting as he
would really like to do.
But this yar It Is a little differ
ent. It seems the promise did not
hold good permanently. Under Mc
Klnley and Roofwrrlt there was con
slderable of prosperity, a little for
the worklngmao and a great deal for
the trusts, and then, nnder the same
party, the same laws, the' Mte poli

Readers of the Tribune were en
titled to a little farther information
namely: That running on a water
lpvcl route "through" instead of

north bank will become really the

traffic; that It doesn't end at Van

Its terminus ln Portland, where it Is
preparing to handle an enormous
traffic which Is already assured; and
that there being now a certainty of
an increasingly sufficient channel to
the sea, Portland is thus made un
questionably the leading and favorite
seaport of the Pacific Northwest,
and will draw a great volume of
traffic from Tacoma and Seattle.
With these slight corrections or
additions, the Tribune's Information
would be sufficiently correct and
complete. But Tacoma will go right
on growing nevertheless, all the
same. It will enjoy a big volume
of commerce, even after Portland's

When work shuts up its dusty shop, and

Trail ln behind their office boys on "L

When brain-spent boss and nerve-spent

Fight greedily ln swarming trains to
get what space thev can.
Some urchin on a platform seat cries
out ln screaming glee
Behind 8 pftgf of tw-ooUiype.-TJtte
Giants wins, b' Gee!"
And furrowed scowls are smoothed tn
smiles, and everything the day
Has brought of trial, defeat and grief is
cast, the while, away.
"The Giants Wins:" That triumph
makes our own defeats no less.
It eases not the rugged road to what
we call success.
It neither lifts the load we bear, nor
vanquishes a foe
Of all the eager enemies along the way
u-an
And yet it wakes the same old thrill we
use! to Know or oiq
Before the red, warm blood of youth ran
sluggishly snd cold.
And through that throng of wan-faced
tHiyg and lanea. raaea men.
There runa a rumbling undertone:
We've won! We've won agsinr

"One of the saddest features of our

And vet It cannot be repeated often
enough that in yielding' to such temp

of an Intolerable and degrading slavery
and are making their last state Infi

"It cannot be denied that these drugs
will lift the load of despair from the
heart, will dissipate fear and worry
will lead the mind out of the hell of
Unrest into the heaven of peace, but
it ia eniinilv true not only that these

that the demons which seem (to have
