The more careful landowners, moreover, are
not unmindful of the future; they know that
from two to four fine trees may develop WITHIN

DIRECT NONINATIONS.

a capital defect Of the present primary sys-
TEN from the point OF view of public policy is
it's failure either TO interest or provide a field
for the activities of any large number of the
adherents of a party. Party machinery may
be admirably fitted TO the needs Of political
mana gers when all power is left with handful
of men It will not, however, serve the true
purposes OF a democracy unless it responds
readily 20 the sentiment of the body of voters
whose principles it is supposed 10 represent and
whose allegiance ii seeks to command. Nor in
the long run can 1t be an effective instrument Of
politics at election time if it forgets the people
and devotes itself to mere convention manpu-
lation and place hunting. AS we have frequent
" said, one of the chief tasks Of the president
of a rehabilitated Republican organization in
this city must be TO make it responsive to the
vital political thinking OF the Republican
masses and TO interest in its work the thinking
men who now are driven TO perform their pub
lie duties through outside clubs and commit
tees He must also interest the voters by Civ
ing them a larger and more direct influence
upon the selection of candidates for whom they
are asked to vote.
A correspondent of THE Springfield Repub-
lican" writing from Detroit, gives that journal
an account of primary methods there which
suggests one way of making the Republicans do
their duty. Three years ago some Michigan re
formers. after long agitation for direct noml-
nations. secured from the Republican party per-
mission TO make an experiment The organi-
zation officers doubted the feasibility OF the
new plan. but agreed TO let it be tried without
any legal sanction, and TO nominate in the regu-
lar way the persons chosen IL the scheme
worked well. or TO go to make their own
selections If the trial vote failed TO be represen-
tatiye. The result is thus described:
There 125 voting precincts in Detroit,
and, by the way, this attempt at that time was
only for the city of Detroit. and we had only
the regulation four hours of time vote allotted

In that kingdom: fear which seems to have
little real foundation in the census In Austria
the fear is that it will put the Germans in a
minority in Parliament and give control to the
Slavic and other elements OF the empire. That
is possible no doubt. There were in Austria In
1900 only Oil GA Germans, little more than
one-thrd of the whole, against 5955397 Bohe-
mians and Moravians. 4,252, 4S3 Poles. 8,3S1 $40
Ruthenians and 1.192, $50 Slovenes, besides vari-
other smaller peoples. 1t would therefore
not be difficult, if Parliamentary representation
were apportioned strictly according to popula-
tion to form Slavic combination which would
outvote the Germans, and which, perhaps, would
command clear majority of the whole cham
Der
The government is strongly committed, how
ever to the maintenance of German supremacy
and indeed 1t may be that that is best for the
empire at the present time for the reason that
Slavic domination would probably mean disso-
luton or partition. We may expect, therefore,
to see a system adopted which, while nominally
providing for lone man, one vote" will so in
volve taxation and other conditions with the
scheme Of representative apportionment as to
assure to the Germans numbers approaching
majority of Parliament, although they are in SO
decided minority in the empire. That will be
a step forward, and it may prove satisfactory
to the people for time; perhaps until the end
of the present reign-which may well be hoped
10 be still at some distance! When the time
comes for the ultimate readjustment on purely
democratic basis it may be that the time will
simulta neously come for remakng of the map

FOR CONSULAR IMPROVEMENT.

The proposal Of the New York Board of Trade
and Transportation to organize a national con-
sular reform convention is interesting and
commendabIe sign of the times. 1t Indicates at
once the great progress which has been made In
an important branch of the government and the
prospect there is of making still further prog
ress until the service shall be approximately
perfected. Years ago proposal for consular
reform would have been regarded with MKT
ure Of Indifference, hopelessness and derisfon.
That was when the consular service was looked
upon largely as an eleemosynary institution
maintained for the benefit of men who had to
be taken care of and for enabling statesmen TO
pay their political debts. That time is now long
past and through various acts Of reform our
consular service has been made efficient and
creditable, comparing favoraby in most respects
with that of any other land.
The recent order of the President concerning
appointments to and promotions in the service
was an important step In the right direction, the
latest of q series of executive acts intended for
the Improvement of the service. There is, how
ever, need of still further reform, or rather I'M
proYement and 1t also seems desirable that the
improvements already made and those yet to
be made shall have the permanent confirmation
of positive legislation in addition to the au-
thority of executive orders. For some years
Senator Lodge and others have sought to secure
seeming to be a lack of public interest in the
matter, or at least a lack of effective expression
of that interest The proposed national conven-
ton, if properly supported by commercial and
other bodies throughout the country, as 1t should
be- would powerfully voice the business sentt-
ment Of the country and should be most useful
In strengthening the hands of those who are
seeking to promote such laws.
There Is not a business organization from
Maine to California that is not more or less d.
rectly interested in the raising of the consular
service to the highest degree of efficiency. There
is not one that would not be serving Its own vel
fare as well as doing q general public benefit In
participating in this convention and in helping
to make it most impressive exposition Of ma
tionaI opinion and desire. It is not so much g.
radical reform Of the consular service that Is
needed as an Improvement of 1t on the lines or
reform already established and a permanent con-
f1rmation Of what has already been done. We
may add that one of the chief further improve
ments desirable is the placing Of consular
salaries upon more just and reasonable basis,
so as to make 1t worth while for men Of first
rate ability TO enter and remain in the service,
Just as they do in the army and navy. If the
business men of America make 1t clear that such
improvements are desired by them there can be
little doubt that Congress will respond with ia
yOrable action.

CANAL PURCHASES ABROAD.
President and Commission to Obtain Ma
terial in Cheapest Markets.

Washington, May III. The president
and the executive committee of the Pan
anna canal commission are waiting pa
tiently for the protest they feel sure
will come from American shipbuilders
against the decision reached Monday to
purchase supplies and material for canal
construction wherever they can be had
at greatest advantage as to rates and
conditions.
The decision undoubtedly means the
expenditure of large sums abroad. In
the matter of steamships, two for the
transportation of employees and mater
ial will be bought in England, for two
reasons--they can be had at two-thirds
the American price and immediate de-
livery can be assured, which is impos-
sible at home.
TIE difference in rate is about the
same in other things. Congress was
given an opportunity to rule on this
point, but ignored it.
