Io publishing the statement that
Hon. E. L. Smith “ would not, by
initiation, seek any office in the gift
of the people,” a ootomporary com
ments as follows: “Thus it is that
the law of primary election and
nomination virtually rules out' a
large class of sensitive and most
worthy citizens who are unwilling
to appear in the role and character
of office seekers. The intent, or
real basis of this law, is the expec
tation that the citizen will announce
himself a candidate, and then get
ont before the voters and ‘scrap’
with rival candidates for the nomi
nation. There are many whom it
will not suit to do this. They might
accept an office, but will not scrap
for one.”
The disposition of the intelligent
classes appears to be to give this
law a deoent show, to demonstrate
whether it has any merit beyond
overworking county officials and
heaping unnecessary expenses upon
taxpayers. Everyone is ooovinoed
of the necessity of trying ont the
hoodo, giving the theorists who
brought it into being opportunity
to prove its practicability.

cannot, and will not grow wild. Oth

not. Now comes the practical ques
tion: “ Where did wheat, barley »corn
and ryb come from? Who first plant
ed them!” There is only one logical
deduction,and that it: God sent them I
here to keep us out of mischief. After
Adam had sinned he was led out of
Paradise, and then God said to him:
“Stretch forth thy hand,” and he I
stretched it forth, and then into the
palm of that hand God put his treas
ures, just a few grains of wheat and
barley, and rye, and oats, and then
God pointed to these seeds and to the
ground, and delivered his judgment.
“Now go, and dig and plant,” and
the human race has been at farming
ever since. And for 6,000 years man
has had to fight for his daily bread,
and the groans which have gone up
from famine-struck Russia, India,
Ireland^ etc., were merely because
the wheat crop faded. We know that

for the people than Mayor Mark

his hand openly turned against the
bosses, who had been trying to pur
chase him for three years. Linooln
Steffens, in the January McClure’s,
tells -She strange story of Mark
Fagan. How, a poor boy, with
little or no education, he grew into
an honest man, and finally into
that very unusual phenomenon, an
honest politician. This story from
Mr Steffens to more dramatie than
fiction, and to full of mystery.

and yet be did his work with un
