The republican primaries for Polk county will be held next Thursday. The primary is the first step in the exercise of the right of sufirage, and under our system is an important- one. Though one may legally get on the official ballot by petition, that method is not often resort d to, and under the prevailing custom, the primary practically settles the question of candi dates. The primary was origi nally intended as a medium through which the mass of vot. ers might express their choice nf pandidfltes. Honestly used they serve a party purpose. Abused as they sometimes are, the source of party disruption. Primaries are sometimes worked , in the interest of certain mea sures or candidates. Candidates' sometimes bring with them into the primaries an artificial sup port that defeats the majority wishes of his party and thus be enmes a nartv burden in the campaign to follow. This is a common practice with the can didate who seeks the office rath er than waits for the party to call upon him for his services. It is a practice to be avoided if party success would be achieved. It is a practice to be guarded against by republicans next Thursday. Let there be fair and open primaries in every precinct. Give every one en titled to a vote, a voice in the deliberations. Exclude all neither legally nor morally en titled to a vote, from the con vention. Tolerate no form of jobbery nor underhand meth ods. Fearlessly set upon po litical duplicity and trickery wherever it shows its head. Let the delegates elected to the county convention next Tues day, be men that will represent the wishes of the rank and file of the republicans f Polk coun- sonal ty and there will bo no question about party success next June. SEEDED LEGISLATIRX. The terrible danger that at tends the handling of dynamite was forcibly set forth in the re cent explosion that caused the death of Curtis Baker and Gilbert McCabe and did other damage. Such accidents are liable to occur any time with those who handle the explosive and a law requiring those who handle dynamite to take out license would be in keeping with public safety. Since thedangers attending it are not confined to those who handle it but includes all lives and nropertv in close proximity its use should proper ly come under the regulation of the law. It is entirely too great a risk, to allow' one unfamiliar with the nature of dynamics or reckless in its use to carry it along the highways or have it in his possession at all. By re quiring one to pass an examin ation before a competent author ity as to his knowledge and cau tion with explosives, the public would be protected and it would necessitate very little additional cost to these who have occasion to use it. livery candidate has Some ot them up tait creeK. wagon. a band will go Question of the day: "When will the Southern Pacific put on another train?"
