Politician VS. Public.

The politician always trembles
whenever the public becomes aware OF
the fact that its rights are being
trampled ruthleSsly under the foot Of
some designing boss.
Consequently the Herald's sugges
tion that a primary elections system
should be adopted in order that the
true public sentiment regarding can
didateS for political preferment might
be obtained. met the dlsapproval Of
the professional politicians of this
city and elsewhere in the county.
If 1t is not right to let a majority
of the m embers of a political party
make nominations, it is not right
to let majority Of voters elect can
didateS. II 1t is proper for a small
clique to name nominees, it ought also
to be proper for clique to elect OH
GERS, and this arrangement might save
the public much expense.
Majority rule Is a fundamental
principle of our political system. We
can put perfect trust in the integrity
and patriotism Of the majority of
American voters. But when the ma
j0rity is forced to submit to conditions
imposed by a Scheming few, we trem-
BILE for the future.
The argument that two or three
townships would control the nomina-
tionS under the primary system is too
shallow to need attention.
Voters within party ranks have diff
ferent ideas and personal preferences
and could express these under the
primary system just as they do their
preferences in elections. Two or
three townships or even one, some
times change the results of elections
yet the majority rule. Who would be
so foolish as to make this an argu.
ment against the elections9 True,
two or three townships might decide
the contest under the primary system
as in elections, but every voter would
have the opportunity to vote for his
personal choice and il he were not
dummy or tool he would never have
kick coming because of his actions.
The formation of rings and states
which have always been so disastrous
to political parties would practically
be eliminated. This is the feature
which causes politicians to Squeal.
The Herald is for any measure that
willbeneft the people. 1t is eternal
.ly opposed to any which will curtail
their powers or interfere with their
progress. Whoever takes issue with
the Herald takes it uponIthese grounds
as against the people for the few.
Every American citizen ought to be
a sovereign. The people can rule II
they so desire.

Satisfactory terms as to wages and

Washington, Sept. 24.-The explora ton of
atmospheric conditions mile or so above
the earth has been carried on by government
scientists the last few years, with results
most valuable to the weather forecaster. The
most notable results are those obtained by A.
Lawrence Rotch Of the Blue Hill meteoro-
logical observatory in Massachusetts. Pro-
lessor Rotch is the most scientific kite fier
in the world and holds the record for the
highest ascension ever made, one of his in
strument-carrying kites having assembled 49,
SO7 feet This is higher than Mont Blanc,
and is higher than any balloon has been able
to carry meteorological instruments.
But the scientists now feel that it is very
necessary to extend their explorations TO the
air currents above the ocean, and particularly
the currents that blow in the tropical zones
1t Is in this vicinity that the weather is
manufactured" At least some of the most
violent brands seem to have their origin
there. 1t Is said that little more knowledge
of these upper air conditions would supple

land, and enable the meteorologist to deal
more certainly with the weather problem.
