A Badly Needed Law Since the state legislature has apparently freed itself from the Plunderbund’s domination, the way ought to be open for the passage of an effective primary law. Its adoption would sound the death knells of the political bosses and po- litical charlatans. A most recent example of the results following the enact- ment of a direct primary law is to be seen in the case of the tate of Wisconsin, which went under the new system last year. Two congressmen——Minor and Babcock-—who were gen- erally suspected of betray ing the interests of the people, were defeated im the direct prymaries, when under ordinary cir- cumstances they would undoubtedly have been renominated, had the old machine methods been in operation. The primary election system really gives the people tw> chances to defeat any candidate for official place; the first being in the party primary itself, and the second in the*elec- tion, should he escape primary defeat. The bill proposed by the direct primary league in this stats provides for an even more effective law than the one in Wis- consin. The law of the Badger state does not provide for the nomination of United States senators by the direct pri- mary, nor does it prohibit lavish expenditure of money to se- cure political nominations. In Washington both of these matters are provided for in the pending direct primary bill, The present legislature can leave no better monument to its work than an effective primary law, which will put the reins of election control in the hands of the people for all time to come. ss stteeneenemioed Kicking out the Rich Criminals Be discussing a statement by Senator McCarren, of New York, that “the time ts coming when wealth will be odious,” the Wall Street Journal says if that time comes It will be: 2. When the rich man te criminal. & When he ts miserly. 3. When he dizplays bis wealth extravagantly. 4 When he uses bis wealth to oppress others, to crush out @empetition and to bribe his way into political power. ‘The Wall Street Journal ts mistaken. ‘The day ts not coming. It ts here. society, ostracised because it was found out they got thelr money erookediy—by methods that were morally, if eot logally, ertminal. * And tn this very time of ours the miserly rich man ts untversal- @expleed. The man who gathers money from bis generation and and dies without paying some of his debt dies diagraced. In eyes of the people of today be disgraces his family and his gon Ht Awd he who brazenly flaunts his money for pyrposes of osten- tation and pride of self is despised as few men are despised fu this republic. Both he and his money are odious. But above of others is he most hated who uses his money to take unlawful advantage of bis neighbor, who uses his wealth to buy his way to pubitc favor and political influence. And this aogurs well for the future. Men and women as never before are turning thelr backs to the ‘eriminal, the miserly and the predatory rich. Speed the disposition! Por when people cease to envy and begin to despise there ts a social revolution. When men meanty rich begin to learn that they are outeasts from the respectable workt they will be in much less haste to get Sea's f aoe ere : FESEEEEEEFE EEE EE EERE RET EERE REET MARRIED A MONTH RERRAEAREERHEERAAREREH HR RR ER Ce ee Se “It's a fate too good for wee eee * * * + % | such sald, Ha ie My § & a> { q z pernting tone you have} “Bel Dashwood belongs to “s @ reflection | Doves, and I will look her ap evening.
