THE OF THE
PRIMARY LAW

may be a%bominable. That is the general fault of sumptuary laws.
There are always two views in legislation, the sentimental and the
practical, and the latter is the safe and correct view, because it
deals with conditions, not merely with ideals. Judged by results,
the new primary law is confessedly a failure, and many of its most
ardent advocates have abandoned faith in it. Unsupported defects
have been made manifest by it's operation. The law has not ac-
complshed the object of it's authors in any respect, while it has
relieved party candidates from pledged obligations, abolished
party responsibility, largely increased election expenses, made can
didacies more costly and given undue advantage to the longest
purse. It has diverted attention from State questions to fractional
issues and struggles, and has actually subordinated the interest
in elections to interest in party affairs and rivaries. Virtually
the law forbids the Independent voter to participate in nomina-
tions without declaring himself a Republican or Democrat. It
violates in primary elections the principle of the secrecy of the
ballot. And the law permits the nomination of a candidate for
any important public office by a mere fraction of the party vote
polled in a primary, thus denying majority rule. The Legislature
never would have passed the new primary law if it had not been
misled by that sentiment which does not look beneath the surface
o. things or reason from cause to effect.

are today already at the disposal of the
mental workshop, but probably for a
lcng time to come the foreman will be
thought to know better han the ex-
pert.
ut is evident that every man be-
who wants to influence the customer
works with psychological agencies. The
study of the psychology of attention
and suggestion, of association of ideas
and of emotion, may systematically
assist the commercial transaction. The
process certainly has two sides, but If
we think of the interest of the sales
man only. we might say that he has
to hypnotic his victim.
"He has to play skilfully on the at
tention of his shopping customer, he
must slowly inhibit in her mind the
desire for anything that the store can
not offer, he must cleverly fix h emo
lions on a particular choice, n finally
he must implant the conviction that
life is not worth living without this
particular shirt waist, How much the
stores would profit if every employee
should learn the careful avoidance Of
opposing suggestions!
Whether shopgirls in a department
store are advised to ask after every
sale: DO you want to take it with
your or are instructed to ask first:
DC you want to nave it sent to your
homer makes no difference to the feel
ing of the customers. They are
scious sufferers from the suggestion,
but for the store it MAJ mean a diff
ference of thousands for the delivery
service. The newspaper boy at the
subway entrance who simply asks:
Paper, sir?' cannot hope for the sue
cess of his rival who with foroeful sug-
gestion asks: Which paper?'

The Study of the Human Mind

OF Dealers Wares.
BY DR.. HUGO MUNSTERBERG.

THE study of psychology as an aid
to the manufacturer. salesman
and in other lines of industry is dis
cussed in an interesting manner by DR..
Hugo Munsterberg in McClure's. In
part DR.. Munsterberg says:
"a new period of farming has begun
through the help of the scientific ex-
pert. A similar service to labor and
industry might be rendered by psy-
chology. 1t would even be quite con-
ceivable that governments should or
ganize this help in a similar way to
that by which they have secured agri-
cultural laboratories for the farms of
the country. The department of agri-
culture at Washington has expert
mental stations all over the land. and
not a little of the great harves is due
to their effectiveness. The department
of commerce and labor at a future
time may establish experimental sta
tons which will bring corresponding
help to the mills and factories and even
to the artisans everywhere,

duces without making use of human
minds and brains. The mill owner must
learn how to use the mental energies
of his laborers in the same way that
the farmer knows how to use the prop
critics of the soil. And such help is not
only to the economic interest of the
producer; it would be perhaps still
more to the interest of the working
man and his market price. An expert

the union and one of the largest manufacturing concerns. This
struggle has lasted nine months, and, while it has entailed great
hardships on the wageearners, the manufacturers have severely
felt its effects. Nor are these the only sufferers. With wage in
come cut off from many hundreds of families, their purchasing
power was wellnigh destroyed, and the small dealers in their
neighborhood lost a large trade, and many have been compelled to
carry numerous credits. With a complete restoration of normal
conditions in the great hating industry these effects of the
struggle will disappear, for there is every evidence now of a long
period of prosperity for the industry.

Fl A AND THE
WATER QUESTION

the States natural resources and transport the same out of the
State, the State government had better go out of business forth
with. The State government was instituted to conserve the in
terests and welfare of the people of the State. There is no in
terest of the people that so vitality affects their welfare as the
water that sustains all life. The water supply is limited, and can
not be increased, while the population constantly increases. Prob
ably in less than two decades the demand in the counties near
the Hudson will exceed 3O0,OOO,OOO gallons daily. Shall a vested
interest be created meanwhile to divert many millions of gallons
daily out of the State? Shall the public welfare or private com
merciaism control the potable waters? The issue presented can
not be put off. 1t must be met without delay and settled for all
