Pittsburg, Oct 25.-The latest sensa :
tional bit of undertaking against Pitts
burg has scraped the sensitive nature
of Pittsburg society women, who, en-
ragged over what they style deliberate
and cowardly libel, perpetrated for
commercial purposes, intend some ac-
ton against such offenders.
At meetings of womens clubs the
latest analyzation of Pittsburg and
Pittsburgers was the sole topic of con-
versation. Resolutions were drawn up
protesting against such characterize
tion of Pittsburgers, and these will be
given general circulation.
The members of the Twentieth Cen
tury Club, an exclusive organization
are particularly bitter because several
of them trace personal reference in
some paragraphs of the latest critical
larticle.

to show that Pittsburgers are of
plebeian nature and purposing to hold

The. Midway News doesn't believe
IN the primary election law, ana sees
no good in 1t. The logic of the News
on this subject reminds US of the
advantages claimed by Metternich for
benevolent despotisms. The Austrian
said his whole theory of diplomacy
and government was founded on dis.
trust of the people, because history
showed that the people at large could
not be trusted. Such theory is
alien to American ideals. One of the
advantages claimed for the primary
law is that it brings back to the people
power often usurped by political
bosses. When Congressman ,Tawney
says the law has caused the disintegra-
ton OF his party IN his state, he
admits more than he intended. The
dislntegration has, been largely in the
cabals and in the lessening of the
power of the bosses. Otherwise, where
is the disintegration Has not the
dominant party everything except the
governor? It has absolute control,
through a two-thirds vote, Of state
Legislation, it hassa all the congressman
but one, and McCleary defeated him
self, not the primary system. It is q
significant fact that every, gangster
wants the law repealed, and it is more
than strange that the. Midway News
should be found in the front ranks Of
the assailants of a law, which. despite
serious defects, contains great deal
of what makes for permanent good.
