On January 2 the books in the various county, clerks offices of the state will be open for regis - - tration of those who are legal voters .at the election of the state. The 1 primaries are to be held on April 20, next, and be fore you are allowed to vote even at primary elections you must register, therefore," it may be im portant that you get your name on the books earlv. Moreover: ir. is far rrmre ennvemipnt. fnr the clerk that those who are entitled to vote do not wait until the last moment and then , besiege the clerk in a bunch. The effort to elevate the gen eral tone of matters politic and the elimination of personal and selfish considerations must be most acceptable to every honest citizen and voter; hence, the en forcement of the v ry spirit of the new primary law is consider able. There has been consider able cold water thrown on this law and frequent prophecies wafted about to the effect that it could not prove of any good Without a public sentiment strong enough to give this or any other law a "square deal" it is certain to prove nil. , There may be weak places un covered when this law is enforc ed, but it is only by giving it a :f air and impartial test that will be possible to determine if :it is advisable or not to retain it To this end it becomes the duty of us all to assist in a straight forward enforcement of it next -April. It is the spirit and intention of this law that the DeoDle shal decide in the matter of selecting a United States Senator and the state legislative members are simply to ratify the will of the people as expressed by the. peo ple m tne general election June and 'when the legislatnre v.... it. .n . -i I vuiiveues wie louowmg January that body , is supposed to elec 1 , T . " the peoples's choice. From this it will be seen that the people have greater" responsibility as result of the new primary law." MIGH1Y GOOD READING. The letter of Mr. J. L. Waite editor of the Burlington "Hawk- eye" to well, of Mr. Henry B. . Black- Boston, embodying the answer of the straight-out Re publicanism of Iowa to ' the mon grel Republicanism which has been generated in Massachusetts - 1 . . . as a consequence of a too intr ; mate association with Free Traders, rightfully belonsrs to the catalogue of "migbty good reading." It will be remember ed that Mr. Blackwell, as,Chair- man or tne tsoston, (Jommittee of One Hundred oh' Tariff revision and Reciprocity, figured con spicuously in a movement whiqn .cost th-3 Republican ' ticket in Massachusetts many thousands of votes in the campaign which ended on the 7th of last month. Yieldrag to the " solicitations of this Committee" of One' Hundred the resolution carpenters of the Republican ' State Convention confuted to execute an absurd usual fate of straddlers attended the performance. Like the man in 'the fable trying' to please everybody; they succeeded in pleasing nobody and t came very the fable lost. The Committee of One Hundred ' showed its ap preciation of tha concessions by working tooth a:id nail for the Kepublican ticket who-was brave enough to make a stand for con sistent'' , Protectionism." .,This nominee they knifed so effective ly that he fell behind the head of the ticket more than 20,000 ..
