PARTY LEADERS OUGHT NOT
BECOME BOSSES.

Governor Hughes of New York is
clearly not all discouraged over tle
course taken by the legislative commit
tee which has been going through the
motions of making an investigation of
the workings of the primary system
while touring various Western States.
No doubt Governor Hughes has been
perfectly aware from the beginning
that nothing but hostility for the pri-
mary system was to be expected from
this committee. 1t IS quite likely, too.
that he has looked at the personnel of
the body and has perceived that its op-
position is rather an asset to the pri-
mary cause than otherwise. At any
rate, he is continuing to talk the direct
primary to the voters of New York
State, and TO talk it with effect.
Governor Hughes is seeking to make
it clear to the voters of New York that
the primary does not necessarily break
down party lines simply because it does
break up machine rule and crush the
party boss. He said in a recent ad-
dress at Ithaca:
q do not decry political leadership,
but leaders should never be allowed to
become bosses they ought to be saw
ed from themselves.
I'VE should put party leadership
where it belongs. We are trying to
get the voters in control of party af-
fairs. 1 have no interest in fractional
fights. I am simply trying to have
passed what is good for all parties,
with the interest of the people of the
State at heart"
Interesting in the same connection is
the comment made by the Kansas City
Star on the recent visit of the New
York legislative committee to Topeka.
One of the witnesses asked about the
workings of the primary was David
w. Mulvane, national committeeman,
for years a potent factor in Kansas
Republican politics and a thorough go
ing machine man. Mr.. Alulvane de-
plored the fact the primary had
tendency to tear down party organiza-
ton. This leads the Kansas City Star
to point out that there is distinction
between party government and ma
chine rule which politicians of the Null
vane school have entirely overlooked.
Il points out there Is still party gov
eminent in Kansas under the direct
primary, but machine rule has been
smashed to pieces. The old railroad
convention is gone and the corrupt
organization" Is becoming thing of
the past.
What is true in Kansas under the
direct primary is true of other States.
When members of the New York legis-
lative committee talk of the primary
tearing down party government they
are confusing the preservation of party
lines with the preservation of bossism
and machine rule.

DRAMATIC PHASE OF THE
WORLDS LONE WAR.

Although overshadowed by other
current events, the strife between the
Spaniards and the Aloors is interesting
and dramatic in the extreme. The OBJ
serving nations are inclined to protest
and interfere on account of the bar
barity the Moors are showing toward
their prisoners, which must remind
some students of history, particularly
Americans, of the protest found neees-
sary when Spain was maltreating the
Cubans eleven years ago. On the other
hand. the loyal enthusiasm OF the arts
tocracy of Spain in this grave crisis
might well be praised abroad. Scions
of all the influential Spanish families
are reported to be joining the ranks of
volunteers bound for the front. Their
patriotic conduct contrasts with the
attitude adopted by the malcontents at
home who are crying out against what
they call the Campaign of conquest"
As a matter of fact, Spain is hard
pressed at the present moment to keen
hold OF the little that is left of her
once rich and widespread colonial pos
sessions.

There can be no doubt now that some

II may turn out that one more than
