John e. Milholland in an article on
the Danger Point in American Politics.
said, "It is a sad confession to make, that
after all the efforts expended to purify the
primaries, in most of the large cities of
the country they are today more danger
ously corrupt than ever" The June
Arena again calls attention to the SUBJ
ject in a very forcible discussion of pro-
posed remedies for the evils of the pri.
mary. "The prevailing type of primary
election law" says the writer, "is like
that which exists in Illinois, under
which there never has been a conviction
and even only one Indictment held
water. 1t contains q thousand loopholes
for eyading its ostensible penalties. :"
The article points out that friends of
good government rallied to the support
of civil service reform a few years ago
and won great victory. Reform of the
primary is of far greater Importance.
There should be national organization
to collect information and statistics on
this subject for the education of the peo-
pie. Direct nomination is not the proper
solution of the difficulty, in the opinion
of the Arena writer, but it is hoped he is
correct in the assertion that in the dark
est hour of this domination of political
oligarchies and of the commercial trusts
which pay them license, hope shines
brightest.

Of the action of the Urbana militia in
firing on the mob of lynchers There
is general agreement that the Ohio cap
tain was fully justified. Inspector Gen
eral Breckenridge of the Regular Army
voices the sentiment of the service in
holding that when you have mob to put
down, it should be put down hard. This
was the Napoleonic idea which held that
firing over crowd was liable in the end
to lead to a waste of life The Ohio
militia had most trying and delicate

who has done an unpleasant duty has to
fight his fight over again as citizen

Some good explanation for the spas
mode burst OF prosperity seen through

By hong and profound depression from
which the colonies have not as yet
emerged. can be CLEANED from the table
In $50 the Australian colonies were In

swollen % the enormous total % E2+o.-
ea9.eao. This but represents the indebted
ness OF the various colonial governments.
and no account Is made Of municipal,
corporate or private indebtedness. While
this vast stream OF wealth was being
poured into the Australian colonies, there
was little wonder that there was 1cti-
tsous property valuation and an era OF
so-caHed good times" When the out
now OF interest reached the aggregate OF
the amount OF new capital flowing in, the
depression comRlenced. and IL has contin-
ued ever since. There was big debanch
with the borrowed money, but a day OF
reckoning came at last. There are plenty
of places Ia the United States which have
had an experience not unlike that OF
Australasia.
The Indebtedness OF Turkey does not
mount up 60 such alarming figures as
might have been looked Tor considering
the extrsvagsnce and corruption which
are the leading features OF Turkish rule
In the aggregate it Is but ESQ. oo.ooo; only
a small percentage greater than that OF
Portugal, and only 70 per cent. greater
than that OF Egypt.
The only countries ON the American con-
tinents which are given rank in the table
are the United States and Brazil. Con-
sidering it's relatively small population.
the latter country has exhibited almost
as much genius for getting In debt as the
parent country. Portugal. Brazifs in
debtedness figures up E11s. 900 900. having
increased about 20 per cent. since the
people abolished the imperial government
and undertook the experiment of govern
ing themselves.
To properly arrive at what this load Of
Indebtedness means TO the taxpayers Of
tho world. a comparison OF the per capita
amount OF interest charges made seems
appropriate. Interest charges in France
amount to les Sd per head Of populations;
Great Britain. is cd; Russia, Is Id:
Austria Hungary. an average OF about lis
cd; Italy. lis Id. Contrasted with these
figures the burden of interest charges on
the national debt which rests upon the
taxpayers OF the United States is very
slight one. being but Is Cd per head, or
roughly A cents. Uruguay pays or owes
the heaviest per capita interest charge,
reaching the total OF 81 IS Sd per head.
