Blackstono Baldp-"liotwecn public and private rights, tho public right must prevail." Ono of our old friends brought us Uio editorial from tho "Oil World" -which Is printed clsowhero In this issuo. It appealed to him as repre senting a certain class of people, somo of whom are found In North IPlattc. Wo asked him If wo might have tho editorial and print It and ho consonted. Probably none of our readers bolong to this claBs but all will bo ablo to rocognlzo tho de scription of some of their acquaintances. Tho outstanding fact of tho primary 'election was Its falluro to do tho vory thing for which It was hold. Tho ob ject of a primary Is tho selection of party candidates. Tho American gov ernment Is founded on political party j control and without political parties it 1b not posslblo to concolvo of con gress. Tho only way a party can bo hold responsible for candidates Is when those candidates aro choBon by mombors of tho party. It la ovldont from an analysis of tho oloctlon re turns that a largo numbor of demo crats voted tho republican ticket In order to accomplish somo purposo of tholr own. Tho main contests Boomed to bo on congressman, Bhorlff and coramlBSlonor. Many domocrnta voted tho republican ticket bocauso thoro FARM LOANS Lowest Rates Best Terms T. C. PATTERSON B. & L. Building was nomeono on that tloket whom they wished to dofuat. That is the falluro of tho primary as It now ex litn. The republicans have nominooa of which thoy do not approve as a party but who woro put on the re publican tlckat by tho democrat. It is probublo that most of thoso demo crats will vote for democratic candi dates In tho elections. Saturday afternoon tho editor in company with W. T. Wilcox, made a trip west Into Keith county, taking the Lincoln Highway going and re turning on tho south side of tho South Platto most of tho wny. Wo stopped for an hour In Sutherland and spent most of tho timo In tho Courier 01- flco chatlng with Editor Dunn. Tho day was bright and warm when wo' started but wo wero chasod homo by a rain storm which looked quite threat-1 onlng at times. Tho valley Is in flno. .... . i . i . i Hiiiipo. wo imbBuii many iioiuh ol corn which woro In tassel and somo in silk. Tho best looking plcco wo saw on tho trip was Just as wo camo into Suther land from tho west. On tho table south of that city wo saw sections which reminded us of tho moro fortilo parts of eastern Noraska or of Iowa FioldB from sixty to "ono hundrod acres woro not uncommon. Every stalk looked flno and was as green as corn can bo. Boots In tho valley looked good. Alfalfa was showing up woll In most fiolds. Sovoral farmers woro making tho second cutting while in some fiolds tho plants woro in full bloom, probably ueing sayed for Hood. Small grain was all in shock with no signs of any having boon threshed. In ono flold wo saw a head er at vor( on somo Bhort spring wheat. At ono farm "wo woro permit ted to look into tho potato crop and found a big yield of flno potatoes In tho two hills wo examined. Tho corn on tho upland showed up about as woll as that under irrigation but on the wholo did not seem to bo qulto as far along. W. T.
