The Direct Primary.

There can never be any system in a Republican form of government that will work so perfectly as to enable the people to express, in voting, just what k for the best good Of all. The people are to be better trained, educated and imbued with loftier spirit of mornli- ty in order to do that. Eutil that day comes round, the people must devise systems to express their will to meet existing conditions.
 "Ibe missionaries of the primary law are abfoad, says the Springfield Re publican "The theory of the direct primary law k m excellent one and its purpose most eommendable. The men responsible for the prominence which il has attained are almost invariably honest in their motives. They desire to return to the people not only the right but the opportunity to make un. biased choice of the men who shall serve them, without being subjected to the subtle influence and temptations that are frequently found in delegate convention.
 "In several States of the West the law has not worked entirely to the sa- tisfaction of even It's friends. It has been attended with problems which, In some instances, the courts may have to solve. II k admitted that defects have appeared, but they have been attribu- ted to the ttickery of clever politicians who do not wish 10 impair the influ- ence of their machine, and who, though unable to withstand the force of public opinion, have been able to insert claus. es vitiating the effects which the law might otherwise have prodneed.' The Legislature can remedy the defects complained of.
 The direct primary has been adopted In many States of the West, even as far as Oregon, and Is spreading, and has reached the East-New Jersey has adopted it, and Governor Hughes has declared for it, and as the Legislature recently elected Is in harmony with his policies as the last one was not, New York will undoubtedly have primary law enacted as soon as the Legislature meets. As Governor elect Lilley has promised to give his support 10 Cover nor W oodrufi's $ policies, we may there fore justly expect to see Connecticut in line with the many other States hay ing primary law.

 My Dear Sir:
 am In receipt of your letter of No vember 9th, by which you call my at tention to an article in the New York World, published In the issue of this newspaper of October 20th, wherein it Is asserted that I was dismissed in dis grace from the Canal Commission be- cause had presumed to make certain statements in an official report reflect ing upon MT. Wm.sNeison Cromwell. am happy to be able to set this mat ter straight, and since the World arti- cle has been reprinted in paper pub lished in the town where ] was born and where grew to manhood,I would say that you are at liberty to send this letter to the publisher of the "Thomp- son News" should you deem such course expcdient.
 TbeWofld article was brought to my attention on tbe 2ist of October by Il friend, otherwise I would probably not haxe known of its existence.
 As Mir. Taft was absent from cincin. natl al this lime, and ns 1 did not know where to address him directly, | wrote to his private secretary | gentle man with whom 1 am intimately ne gnainted, as l also am with Mr Inf, and enclosed the clipping ff9n the World. The letter wrote WIS as per copy enclosed
 On November Isl, Mr. Taft, from Buffalo, acknowledged receipt of my letter and thanked me for having brought the matter to his attention
 From this, you and my friends in Thompson can see that the principal charge in the newspapers has no basis of facts to rest upon.
 The report that forwarded as Gov ernor of the Zone and member of the commission, in which l made certain references to the financial operations of the Panama Railroads, was dated No. venber list, i904. The portion of this report not printed by my colleagues, referred to in my letter to Mr. earpen. ter, was published at MT. Taft's in- stance, in January, iooa. In March following, the resignation of all of the | members of the commission was asked hy Inc President, and we all, six of us, | resigned at the same time, but 1 was continued in the service as member of the Commission on the Isthmns until May, 1905, having been nlready notified by Mr. Talt that would he appointed Chairman of the Board of Consulting Engineers on type of the Canal. l sue eeeded to this post and remained in the Government service until i9o6. In accepting our resignation as members of the Commission, the Pres ident thanked us for services rendered. Yours very sincerely, GEo. W. DAVIS.

Sees wsnes Vote.

Rev. Anna If. Shaw, Presibent of the National American Women 51f- frsge Association, accompanied bs Miss Laura A. Gregg, a welI-known public speaker, Miss Ray costelloe and Miss Eiinos RendelI, two en- thusiastic and beautiful young En- gIish suffragettes, was in Denver, Nov. 3rd for the purpose Of seeing women vote At National election.
 The Denver Post sent the party from polling place to polling place in a huge automobile, and they witnessed many an interesting sight. At one place where a nervous man fidgeted uneasily in the line of waiting voters, a women ahead Of him cautiously exchanged her place for his. At an other, coiored woman, who could not read, asked for help in marking her ehafiing, no flippant remark, but the assistance was given grayely and in good faith. At another polling place, they saw the oldest woman voter in the city, Mrs. Richard Sophris, aged g7, walked proudly in with head erect and give her name in clear voice. In one Of the most fashionable precincts where women comprise o5 per cent. of the total registration, one of the judges said, "The women always turn in a heavy vote here and and we have TO trouble trying to get them to do it.. They come early, as rule, and they have their own ideas about what they are doing.H,
 Governor-elect Shafroth, has been A staunch woman suffragist for years, and the women rejoice at his election, as they do in that of Judge Lindsey, who ran on an independent ticket and Is said to have been elected by the votes Of women.

 October 2lst. 1908. MT Fred W. tarpenter,i
 Secretary To Hon. W. II. Taft.
 Cincinnati, Ohio.
 My Dear MT carpenter:
 The New York World of yesterday, the aOth instant, contains a leading ar ticle In which my name k quite prom inentiy used, a. we'll as those of Mir. Taft and Mir. Cromwell.
 do not imagine that Mr Taft has time to take notice of such publica. tions as this, but as this paper has con. siderable circulation, and, presume some influence, l should like to have you bring this article to the attention of Mir, Taft, if he has not seen IL all ready, and to say that am quite sure he will understand, without my say tng so, that had absolutely no knowl- edge whatever of the publication of the article until 1 saw IL in the paper That Il is fabrication is quite easy for everybody familiar with the facts to understand.
 The allegation that was dismissed from the commission because had presumed to bring n certain matter to public notice is perfectly absurd. There Is a grain of truth, of course, and that grain in this instance relates 10 a DOT ton of my report as Governor of tn C Canal Zone and member of the lsth- milan Canal Commission, which my colleagues on the commission deemed il inexpedient 10 publish with their own report. When Mr. Taft was on the Isthmus, 1904, l brought this mat ter to hts attention, and when he re- turned to Washington he caused the omitted portion of my report, or nearly all of 1t, to he printed AS a separate doc ument; so that, in fact, il wss Mir. Taft who gave currency to whatever wrote respecting the Panama Railroad and its affairs, for The writing of which Was alleged to have been dismissed and disgraccd.
 cannot recally any of the reports that ! made 10 the Commission or 10 the Secretary ot War, while was on the isihmus, in which l referred 10 Mr. Cromwell by name or otherwise.
 Sincerely yours,
 Ulas. W. DAVIS.
