WHAT WOULD BE A JUST DIRECT
PRIMARY LAW7
Tho Journal Is asked what would bo
tho right kind of a direct primary
law?
Well, all political Institutions are a
growth. The constitution of tho
United States was over a hundred
years getting Into oxistence.
So a chango in tho nominating sys
tem must bo tho gradual substitution
of a better system.
Begin by precincts and citlos.
Leave direct nomination optional with
the party In any county of the state.
If tho Republicans or Democrats of
this city or county want to make
their ticket by direct nomination, lot
them do so.
ENACT A LAW IN THAT FORM,
AND THE PEOPLE WILL GROW
INTO USING .IT FROM NECESSITY,
AND COUNTY AFTER COUNTY
WILL ADOPT IT.
Somo counties might never adopt It.
That has been tho case In Iowa and
Ohio. But most countlos have.
Tho whole proposition of somo per
sons with wheels getting up a bill all
on his own hook, nnd Imposing it up
on a wholo commonwealth Is rot.
A Just dlroct primary law would
leave the peoplo all the present ways
of oxpressjng thomselvos, and give
them an additional way.
The presont proposed direct pri
mary law Is revolutionary, and would
bo a dead lotter, just like tho Mays
law for .oloctlng senators.
o
A CLEAR RIGHT.
Tho supreme court has dcclarod that
nn olght-hour law is constitutional.
Very few peoplo evor doubted It, al
though thoro wore many who strlvcd
to mako tho world believe it unconsti
tutional. Somo very good authority
on constitutional law has doclarod
that all rights not reserved by tho
constitution are still Inherent In tho
peoplo, but that is passing.
matters are carried boforo legal tri
bunals today to bo tostod that would
not havo beon .thought of nfty years
ago. Until qulto recently no ono
would havo tjoubted tho right of tho
legislative body to mako a law con
corning which thoro was no referonce
In tho constitution.
HOW TO IMPROVE THE TOWN.
Prohibit peoplo from dumping la-vn
trimmings on tho street.
Sprtnklo tho stroets in tho, business
sections, y
. , .
Remove tho slubwood scattored
along tho stroots.
Stop defacing tho bridges "with un
sightly advertising signs.
Rako tho looso rook and rubbish off
tho streets.
Pick up plecos of old board along
your lot and burn them, .
Ask your wealthy nolghbor to clonn
up his tumblo-down promlsos.
Salem can bo made tho most boau
t If ul city In tho stato If you say so,
and aot. -
An exchange pays a fervent trlbuto
to tho klckor. It likes tho klckor bo
cause ho makes things lively In his
violnlty and rpllovos the monotony,
Tho same might bo said of tho'mulq,
but lot that pais. Onco upbu a-ilmo
two frogs fell Into a full milk can.
Ono of thorn sank and was drowned.
Tho other struck out with his hind
logs and paddled and paddled until
rho lind chumod tho milk Into butter.
Thon ho got on top of tho buttor lump
and sat thoro until ho was rescued,
Mining and hoppod off. Meral: Keep kicking
and you'll land somewhere, all right

Wo and tho Japs had Port Arthur
captured Saturday. But, It seems
that It got away again.
i
Was loud shouting ever known to
accomplish anything since the walls
of Jericho went down before it.
There is nothing unusual about an
editor being tho brightest man at the
MethodUt conference. The Lord has
to reach out and use ono of the unholy
professions onco In a while.
If the committee to select, a form of
Improvement for Court street would
tako a drive over tho brocken rock
road to Liberty they could see just
how farmers go to work to do things
and they might be able to make up
their minds before 1905.
Anyone with a thlmblefull of gray
matter who will go and see what kind
of a ro'ad broken rock makes, by rid
ing or walking over tho road to Lib
erty, summer or winter, and then not
conclude the dirt of river gravel roads
are not up to the intelligence of an
ostrich, ought to ask to have his Intel
lect put to soak or have a receiver
appointed.
i
By all means, build a 'monument for
Sacajawea; Incidentally, onco In a
while improve tho public school a
little and do something for the gener
ations of today.
Of course, tho honorable conser
vatives .on tho school board may not
bo awaro that thoy are giving Salem
a reputation for going backwards with
our public schools that It will tako
years of advertising and enterprise on
the part of the peoplo who aro not
dead yet to overcome
Bryan's outspokenness Is In whole
some contrast to Parker's close-mouth-edness.
.
Port Arthur was again taken In
Saturday's dispatches. Well, wo will
keep on tnking it on paper until tho
Japs do get it in reality.
Of course, it would bo too much
to nsk tho state government of Ore
gon to sprinkle tho streets about tho
stato houso grounds where clouds of
dust havo beon ruining tho beautiful
shrubbery and flowers and lawns. We
must 8a.vo a few dollars a week If wo
ruin tho property.
I. L. Manning Is doing the editorial
work' on tho Solera Statesman In tfie
absenco of Ex-Gov; Geer, In addition
to his duties of handling the States
man's political nows In this campaign
Mr. Manning Is understood to have
very flattering endorsements -for n
federal appointment In connection
with the Panama canal. HavlnjrViboon
for tho' past ten yoars In Nicaragua ho
Is accustomed to tho cllmato and un
derstands tho provnlont Jargon In that
country. Gov. Geer Is to be at St.
Louis sovoral wooks.
Tho peoplo of Oregon will do well
to voto fr6ak propositions. The local
option bill and tho direct primary bill
wero probably tho work of ono por
son for each ono porson with wheels
on, Jhoeubjoct on which ho got up a
bill, njhe Jlmo has hardly come for
any oho man to dictate public policies
which no ono petitioned for, and for
which thoie was no crying demand.
Colorado has adopted all these freaks,
and fa tho worst hoodood stato In
Amulda.
If thnt dologatlon of Mayors really
want pointers on modern methods df
city government thoy should como out

. Eddy for ylrcult judge ought to
mako a g$Sd run. Ho Is not entire
ly a tax-oator. In fact ho has held no
lucrative ofllco. Ho put through a
bill that s putting ?1QO,000 a yearln
tho treasury. This Is a little unusual.
Generally- the wore a man gets, out of
tho crib tho-iloss he puts In. We are
going to vo.to' for Eddy.
As a candldato tor sheriff, Jimmle
Culver Is well connected. Ho has a

brother who is a minister, and that is
about as near perfection as tho peo
plo will ever get In that office until
the Prohi's got Into power when noth
ing but ministers will be put on the
ticket.
Pilntor's Ink. No, wo never read
It. It Is a, grafting proposition. It
Is dishonest. It never tells the truth
about anything. It quotes newspapers
that flatter Geo. P. Rowoll and his
newspaper directory. All it tells about
the circulation of newspapers is what
it is paid to tell.
Ono of tho speakers at the Liberty
rally Saturday night eulogized Jim
Culver, tho Republican candldato for
sheriff for his nerve In getting mar
ried before olection. Ho wanted to
bo sure of ono job, but that nerve was
characteristic of the man. Ho would
drop a man with a Winchester or hang
a man In tho course of duty if tho
law required him to. Nerve is a
pquality that Is Important In a sheriff
and no one bellove3 for a minute that
Jim Culver has a partlclo of yellow
streak In him. He Is cool-headed but
don't Imagine for a moment that he
wouldn't shoot.
Tho Deschutes Improvement Coin-
pany will open two banks Immediate
ly, ono at Bend and anothor at Lytlo.
These will havo a paid-up capital of
$50,000. Tho president of both banks
Is W. F. Guerln, Jr., who Is now at
Lytlo. i
Tho new reporter, did you say;
well; the managing editor always has
to keep an eye on him. He Is apt
to be too slow or too energetic. Somo
of tho nows that an Industrious local
scavenger will drag Into an ofllco Is
more dangerous than dynamlto. For
instance, thoro aro nlways several
Juicy sonsatlons on tap in tho com-
munlty, that aro hanging on tho lower
branches of tho trooof knowlodge,
getting good and ripe boforo thoy aro
ready to pick. The stronous novice
on tho staff gathers them In greon
and tho wholo community would bo
grabbing at the unilpo fruit of his pro
maturo Industry while the managing
editor, would havo to leave town for
a fow days, or keep an outlook on tho
mlzzemnast for a month as ho walked
the Btreot to see who was coming
around tho next corner with a smile
and a six-shooter, saying, "thoro'a r jat
villlan." Tho now roportor reminds
us of a darkey In tho steamboat race
on the Mississippi doscrlbod by Mark
Twain. Tho crow wore-heaving in
tar and kindling and pitch nnd turpen
tine to get up stonm. nnd to tho sur
prlso of nil tho smaller boat of the
'two won out. When sho landed the
mystery was oxplalned by tho captain
pulling a half-cooked African deck
hand off Iho top of tho holler whore
ho had hlra sitting a-straddle of the
safety valve to hold It down while lie
got up mora steam than tho boilers
wero entitled to Iiold. "I'd a won that
race If I'd a cooked tho wholo bottom
off from that nigger 'said tho oxclted
captain. So tho new reportor will
mako it all right If the managing edi
tor alto on the safety-valve and trou
sers hold out.
