tie ones walk two miles to services over
hot. dusty roads, where thousands Of mos

was against the measure. After ex-

hunting is born in man he launch

the taxing of hunters. He said that
if citizens permit this 81 tax to be

Bill 10 Amend the Primary Election Law

The first bill to amend the prim
ary election law introduced in the
Legislature makes the act apply to
all the Districts Of the state at both
the reg'{ maries. The provis-
ion wniGif makes optional the appli-
cation of the law to boroughs and
townships nominations is full of
mischief. 1t has been the cause of
most of the confusion which some
people have experienced, and its
constitutionality is doubtful 1t was
not we'll thought out, and did not
designate any auth0i ~ to determine
when borough and township nomi-
nations should be made under the
new system or when under the old.
Some of the county commissioners
have assumed to decide, but the law
gives them no such power. In all
discussion of the matter no good
reason has been advanced why all
nominations all the time should not
be under the uniform system. 1t is
more or less confusion to have two
ways of doing things of this kind.
At the primaries next June there
will be no exceptions. Primaries
will be held in accordance with the
10 all 81 70 nf
state and it was a mistake not to
have made the act just as general
for the winter primary. The fact
that the proposed amendment is in
troduced by member from Warren
county, where there are no cities
only boroughs and townships-Quite
plainly shows that there is no reason
why borough and township nomi-
nations need to be made an eAcep-
ton. The two or three mistakes of
this kind in the act have given those
who have always been opposed to
the system all the chance they have
had to quarrel with the law. they
have improved it to the best they
knew how, but they have not Great
ed sentiment for a change back to
the old ways. No such change can
be made, and it will not be difficult
for the Legislature to take the crud-
tiles and Inconsistencies out of the
existing act.

The citizens who make up the
real sinew ana back bone Of the coun-
try begin to see how they are being
ground by the various trusts that
feed upon them. There is the labor
trust, the Arst in the ield, on one
side to stop the supply Of coal, stop
the factories and cut OF wages when
they order strikes and throw whole
communities into distress and want,
and the capital trusts on the other
side.
The common citizens number o.
bout seventy-eisht millions and the
labor trnst about two million. The
rights and interest of the citizens
represent therefore, seventy eight
points as compared with two points
for the labor and capital trusts. This
means very heavy majority Of the
readers of newspapers and bnyers of
merchandise are not members of
labor unions or any other form Of
trust and their power is and should
be supreme, both in elections and
government.
There is great middle class in
this country which belongs on the
side of neither organized labor nor
capital; the professional classes; the
farmers; the salsried people; the
small owners of property. 1t is,
after all, the greatest class of the
country. 1t has never, however,
been brought fairly face to face with
the inquiry where its interests lie in
this controversy.
The coal strike suggest this state
of affsirs in timely way. There
are half a million rhners, few
thousand, perhaps, Of coal and coal
railroad owners and operators, and
the rest of our $4,000 900 people rep
resent the class who pays for the
essential product of the mines.
Everybody has come to understand
that the consumer pays for the strike
and incidentally that he shivers
while the stiike is going on.
1t is this great neutral class, or
middle class, or whatever you call it,
not directly connected in particular
labor problem, is the one which will
make its views felt. 1t 10 unorganiZ-
ed, it has never made an effort to or
ganize. 1t is divided among diff
ferent parties, and it has all kinds Of
political snd economic views.
This class is going to look into the
merits of these questions about which
labor and capital have had SO much
to say for years. II is going TO in
quire 'Where do we get off," 1t
will be discovering, very soon after
we see labor and capital arrayed at
the ballot box and at the political
convention. that it pays the bills;
and when it gets ready to take 4
position there will be deings. 1t
will help the real solution of ques-
tions that the politicians have been
dodging. It will come nearer the
right solution than either of the
more directly interested parties.
