The light vote cast in every
county in this State at the pri-
mary election can have but one
meaningan NJ that is that the peo-
pie do not care for a primary.
We have heard many farmers in
this section say that they pre-
ferred the old convention plan to
the primary. 1t is a fact that
too many elections can be held.
And thousands of voters are not
acquainted with the candidates
for state Offices. How can they
vote intelligently when they have
no acquaintance with the candi-
dates? And it might happen
that all the nominations would
be punched in our section of the
state. Conventions are equally
fair, and this paper believes
that the primary law should be
materially changed. Higgins.

An Acute Observer,

MONDAY luncheon in a little restaur-
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh
boris left sleeve hanging loose and
kept cycling him in a sort of how-did-
it-happen way. The one-armed man
failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position a little, cleared
his throat and said: 81 see, sir, you
have lost an arm"
Whereupon the unfortunate man
picked up the empty sleeve with his
right hand, peered into it, looked up
with surprised expression, and said:
''By George, sir, you're right"

With the truly artistic tempera-
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion Of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning a laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than 1t will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.
