ping of tbs officials who were trying to
avoid the responsibility of settling the
question.
Definite action followed, through Sec
rotary Morton ard Rear Admiral Good
rich, to whom the president referred
the matter with his instructions. and it
is probable that the Lena will be dis
mantlcd and held at San Francisco,
with her crew, until the end of the war.
Captain Berlinsky of the Lena was
given his choice of making temporary
repairs and getting out within six
weeks or dismantling his ship and told
that he must reach Il decision within
twenty-four hours.
Aside from the fact that it would be
impossible for him to make such ex-
tensive repairs as he wants within the
time limit imposed. naval officers re-
gard his decision as n foregone conclu-
sion, for they believe he put into San
Francisco with the intention of laying
his ship up there.

The train was a fast one and was

this primary law business is done by the
state. Now, political party Isl simply
a voluntary organization, aligned on Ger
tain political policies, and has no standing
in the constitution, which deals only with
the people. Our constitution recognizes
only citizens and describes those who are
citizens and entitled to vote In article Z,
section 1, but as partizans are not men
toned in that section, possibly they may
be included in section 2, which says: No
person not belonging to one OF the classes
specified in the preceding section; and no
person under guardianship, or who may
be non compos mentis, or insane, shall
be entitled to vote at any election in this
state
But article Z, section Of our constitu-
ton says, that qualified voters shall be
entitled to vote for all officers that now
are or hereafter may be elected by, the
people,; the people mind, not partizans

to the governor who signed it and made
it law. To the writer, our present pri-
mary law appears as one Of the biggest
humbugs that ever received governors
signature, as it completely nullifes the
ballot law Of our constitution. There is
no doubt but what this is the effect, as 1t
totally destroys the privacy Of the citi-
zens' ballot, fora citizen has to declare
his partizanship at primary, before he
can vote at a primary. Then he gets a
ticket and goes thru the farce of mark
ing it in private booth. Now, these
partizan political primaries are made q
part of the election system of the state,
but the people by their vote have never
made the law a part of the constitution;
that little ceremony has been omitted.
The effect, then, Of all this tomfoolery Is
to destroy the right of private judgment
belonging to every citizen under otlr. con-
stitution, for If assperson's partizan bias
has to be declared on nomination day, it
will be known on election day. and this
fact will tell against many a workman.

says that government is instituted for
the security, benefit and protection Of the
people, the inhabitants Of the state. and
not a party machine for citizens, not
partizans.
BY what right then did the legislature
fofst this partizan abominations on the
people Of the state?
It seems to me that the following quo
tation knocks the law as dead as a stone:
Article 4, section 33, declares that the
legislature shall pass no special law
granting to any corporation, association
or individual any special or exclusive
privilege" Now, as all political parties
