COMPARISONS ARE "ODIOUS"

"PRIMARY" VIEWS.
Col. Al F.iirbrother thinks the state-
ide primary will put a "collar on the
-roter" and that it is wonted by the
politicians and not by the people
That, has not been our observation
The politicians very largely have
been opposed to the state-wide meas
ure for many of them realiia that
-when the people get a free and impar
tial "shot at them" their days of full
away will hive ended. The old con
vention plan has gone further than the
collar and has put shackles and chains

have delegates, appointed and in
structed to carry out the particular
wishes of the people, had an overnight

Always look for that Name

the cat." The Nations now bound by
the Bryan peace treaties comprise
35,000,000 square miles, of the 55,000,

of tho earth. It would therefore seem
to be quite a valuable collection of

WORK AND PRAY.
SOUND ADVICE.
Pi-ogressive Farmer: The best ad
vice about cotton is this: "Don't get
p,w,d; get busy." What we need is
work. John Wesley, we believe it was,
said a man oueht to pray as if every
thing denended unon the Almignty
and work as if everything depended
upon himself. It's good advice in tnis
oris s. We should go alter our con
gressmen as if everything depended
upon them, and then organize holding
and warehouse movements in every
State and county as if everything de
pended upon State local action. If
we abandon local effort and think of
nothing but Congress, we may find,
like Aesop's dog, that we have drop
ped the bone for the shadow.
