Recognized by Everybody as the Leading Weekly Newspaper of Northeastern Minnesota. The Primary Election Law. No more important duty will con- frent the legislature in its coming session than that of abolishing that most pernicious of measures, the pri- mary election law. The law hasbeen given a thorough trial and each bi- ennial test has brought out more abuses and demonstrated that it is unworthy of a place on our statute books. In theory the law is nearly ideal. In practice it is a disgraceful farce. ‘The idea that public servants should be directly placed in nomination by the people themselves is a pleasing one, but it is as impossible of real- ization as an Utopian dream. All that the present law enables the peo- ple to do is to make their choice be- tween two or more self-nominated political office seekers, and when tbere are more than two candidates permitting the nomination of a man whom practically two-thirds of the voters do not want to be nominated It affords the people no opportunity of meeting in conference to consider Ube qualifications of the men who seek office. On the contrary it affords every opportunity for the most in- competent or the most disreputable to become candidates for an office of trust, and by reason of the impossi- bility of every voter having a per- sonal acquaintance with all candi- dates, of winning the nomination and election. The primary was designed to cor- rect the abuses of the convention system, the idea being prevalent that a few menin each community were dictating the selection of candidates to the detriment of public weal, Tne esult has been diametrically oppo- site to what was expected. Instead of securing better men as candidates it has created a condition of affairs that makes the self-respecting and really capable men hesitate if not at- solutely refuse to enter the contest, and leaves a clear field to an army of chronic office seekers, who generally are incapables, Moreover, the law is a breeder of corruption in politics, giving the man of means, or one who is backed by predatory interests, great ad- vantage over his poor but honest op- ponent. It also permits the voters of opposition parties to vote for the weakest candidate of the opposition so as to give the candidate of their own party the better chance to win in the general election. A good illus- tration of how easily this scheme works was displayed in the Second district congressional campaign just closed. While the old convention system was not without its faults, it was incomparably better than the present system. Under the old system men from various sections of the district for which officers were to be nomi- nated were elected to meet in gener- al conference, there to select men deemed best qualified for the offices to be filled. Under the present sys- tem lhe people bave no voice what ever in the selection of candidates. They must nominate one of the many seeking the office, and, as often hap- pens, nob any of these office seekers are capable or would be given a mcment’s consideration in a caucus. Nevertheless one of these men will) receive the nomination and be elected in spite of anything that can be done to prevent it. Tne primary is clearly a miserable failure; so completely a failure in fact, that when dissected there is nothing left upon which to attach remedial amendments. The law is bad through and through and the only belpful action that can be taken is to wipe it off the statute books. And the fact that the law was draft- ed asa reform measure should not deter the members of the legislature from taking prompt action. |; ‘That Gompers, Mitchell and Mor rison will ever serve the sentence de- creed by Judge Wright few probably believe. Doubtless many believe they should, but it is equally certain that the majority believe they should not... Nor does this imply a criticism as to the court’s integrity and sincer- ity. It is merely a criticism of the wis- dom of so drastic a punishment, po matter if guilty, of three men whose good citizenship, honesty and sioceri ty no one can reasonably question. They are men of great ability en- ‘|gaged in work that does not mean financial gaintothem. Noneof them is accused of exploiting his position for financial profit to himself. None of them has watered his in- fluence to line his own purse. They are as unselfish as it is given men to be, and are as whole-hearted in their faith as were the martyrs of old who were made to suffer for consci- ence sake. The sentence if executed and if these men should serve their terms in jail would be of no advantge in the cause which the court seeks to promote. Onthe contrary it would do harm. All of them have said under oath that they did not believe they were violating the law. They are not willful perjurers. That union labor without excep- tion believes as they do, that it will regard them as martyrs, that it will be increasingly bitter is already evi- denced. Nor is this confined to union labor, this feeling that agaio the rich malefactor goes free, that capital escapes while the poor, the friends of labor, the representatives of a cause are scotch with an extreme penalty. Joho Mitchell in particular has been among the fairest, sanest, most rational of labor’s representatives. He has always been for peace and al- ways ready to accept an honest com- promise. He has worked persistent- ly for the better understanding for closer relations, fur confidence be- tween employer and employe. Mr. Gompers is more of an extrera- ist, but he has not violated good citizenship even to the exteat of his opponents who represent capital. Under these conditions, disregarding guilt or innocence, the sentence and the intemperate tone of the decision seem uncalled for and unwise, in what was at most but a test case. A clear exposition of the law; a de- flning of the terms of the original 1n- junction so that it could not be mis- understood, with a moderate fine, would have been vastly more ef- fective. A-court is not responsible for the law, but this was wholly a matter of discretion as to the penalty and so far, it would seem, Judge Wright has been lacking with a re- sultant harm where much good was possible.—Duluth News Tribune. The Agency of the Local Paper. If the retailer would make for bim- self a business which cannot be dam- aged by the efforts of the mail- order houses, he must give all the thought he possibly can to his ad- vertisment. Many merchants are today failing to take advantage of the opportunity to reach the readers of the local papers. Others are using every issue of the papers, but are wasting their money because they do not write their ads correctly. Any old thing thrown into the paper will not do. The ad must say things, and say them in a way to draw people to the store. A description and attrac- tive price acts as a_ suggestion, creates the desire, and the gouds are turned into cash. The customer might come into the store a hundred times and not know that you handled the goods wanted, but the ad tells what you ha¥e and creates the de- mand. Do not imagine. however, that you can increase your business from 25 to 60 per cent. You must keep ever- lastingly at it if you would get the results. Start in on your advertising with the determination to make each ad better reading and of more value to the reader than the same space in} the new’s columns would be, and then determine to keep up the good work every day of your life, aod it will not be long before you wiil see what advertising will do in the way of increasing business for you. — The Hardware Record.
