STEVENS
TELLS WHY

ceiyeu yesterday evening from
Hon. 1. y. Stevens, the noted
Colorado writer, speaker and
editor. who spoke here Thurs
day night on .CoIorado and the
Primary Election Law
Hon. l. ~ Bunting,
Editor The Sentinel.
My Dear Mr.. Bunting Perhaps
my answer last night to your ques-
tion about the probable effect of
first-class primary election law on
the existing parties. was not quite as
full or clear as you desired.
might add to what | said about
the present tendency of the public
to repudiate both political parties on
account of the manifestly undemo-
cratic method of nominating public
officials-that the reverse of that
tendency seems to be the case in Wis
consin. Michigan, Minnesota and
Iowa where they have first-class laws
and where the dominant political
party has constantly grown in favor
and strength on account of the ex
cellent officials and the more ex-
cellent laws produced by the new
system. 1t is quite evident that
Cummins could never have succeeded
in going to the Senate in Iowa. nor
LaF'ollette in Wisconsin under the
old convention system. ! think the
correct answer to your question is
that the direct primary election law
changes the plan of organization and
the scope of purpose of political par
ties-but where party candidates
honestly try to serve the people, the
new method. through the natural
public confidence given to public Of
ficials that are of public creation
will greatly strengthen party organ
ization and greatly aid in their per,
petration.
Sincerely yours.

toward Harvards sister institution at
New Haven. Timothy d. Woolsey was
still at the head, of Yale, having taken
that office back in 1916. Two years later
DR. Woolsey gave place to Noah Porter
and in 1885 Or. Porter was succeeded by
Timothy Dwight. who in turn resigned
the chair TO Arthur Twining Hadley in

HARvARD,s NEW PRESIDENT.

Tn NAMING a successor to President Eliot, Of
Harvard University, the overseers OF the
leading educational institution OF the country
have task that is not easy. Dr. Eliot was one
of the foremost thinkers of the country. Under
his administration Harvard went forward by
leaps and bounds 1t expanded in every direc-
ton 1t became a university in fact as well as
in name Thousands of young men gained their
education at Harvard and thousands more VIII
seek instruction within its portals.
1t has been said that in selecting the new presi-
dent the overseers will pay some regard to the
sentiment of the country In some quarters a
movement has been started to have that senti-
ment expressed. We hardly believe such an ex-
preston OF the general public opinion will have
much weight with the overseers of Harvard.
University presidents are not created by popular
vote, but they are made by men who are familiar
with the needs Of an institution of learning.
A popular election of a university president
would show some surprising results and it is not
likely to be undertaken

Perhaps the transit company and its managers
have heard that the residents of Cleveland, o.,
recently voted against the municipal manage
ment of street railway companies which gave the
people three-cent fare with some drawbacks
that did not suit the voters The Philadelphia
railway managers have probably decided that
the voters of Cleveland want higher street car
fares. Therefore they assume that Philadelphans
may be of the same mind and wish to pay little
more for their railway transit So the price is
increased by deceiving regulations.
The company may ask the Philadelphia Coun-
Gil to permit it to charge five-cent straight fare.
Council might do so. There would be only lit
tie flash of protest. several couneilmen might
lose their political heads, but it would all wind
up in an Endorsement of Councils action. The
votes could be easily put into the box on day or
so before the election in the true Philadelphia
fashion and none would be the wiser.

MIR. pENNEwILLs OPPORTUNITY.

XM HAT a splendid opportunity is opened to
w Governor-elect Pennewill to measure up
to the full responsibilities of the office TO which
he has been elected and to give the State an adj
ministration which will not pale in comparison
with that of Governor Lea. whom he will sue
ceed. Mr. Pennewill can present the Republican
party with a record for the next two years on
which il may go before the people with an air OF
confidence that the party will again be approved
at the polls.
The eyes OF the people of this State arc upon
the new governor. They will watch his admin
istration closely. They wish him we'll. They
will encourage him and they will appreciate
every effort he may make towards giving the
State an administration that will commend it it.
self to all.
We believe that the new governor will seize
the opportunity and be a credit to himself and
his party. He will have every incentive to make
a record and name for himself.
During the campaign he was severely attacked
in certain quarters. He was assailed vehementy
in others because it apparent that he was not
under the sway Of certain corporate influences
that become irritated when they see anything
done in Delaware contrary to their wishes. Mr..
pennewll has, therefore, every reason for desr-
ing to meet the expectations OF his friends and
well wishers, and he has thousands of them in
this State.
The task Of fulfilling the duties of the office
creditably should not be difficult. Governor Lea
reached high standard and Mr.. Pennewills am
bitions should be and doubtless arc TO maintain
that standard.
One of his important duties will be the ap-
pontment OF bench OF judges most impor-
tant function. 1t should not be hard, however,
for the new governor to make creditable appoint
ments. The lawyers of this State suitable for
these positions are we'll known to every man ac-
