THE DIRECT PRIMARY


There has been considerable dis
cussion pro and con OF late OF the
merits OF the direct primary Those
who condemn IL, 1t seems to us are
hasty. The law was only passed at
the last session OF the legislature
and therefore has not baea given a
trial Untii It has been given a
trial its condemnation would seem
to be out OF place.
That there is need Of reform OF
past methods OF nominating candidlt
for office is reeonized and demanded
by large percentage Of the think
Ing voters of this state. Politics Is
pOdti,s But there Is no justice or
fairness or honesty under the trad
ing system as practiced too often in
political conventions. and it should
stop There Is Just one way to stop
It. Take the nominating power away
from conventions and legislators and
put 1t in the hands of the voters. The
average man who goes to a county
convention knows no more about the
real merits OF the county candidates
than the men who stay at home
know The average man who goes
to state convention knows no more
about the state candidates for whom
he votes than does the average man
who stay at home. But the dele |
gates trade; they swap and bicker |
and In the trading and swapping
and pickering the people at home
get the worst OF It.
The primary system of direct nom
nations gives every voter In the
state one vote OH every nominee
from road oyerseer to United States
senator and gives every man political
equality There Is no political equal
It's as the matter now stands The
people have rights In this governmen
superior To those OF the traders,
aud to get those rights the people
must put the government Of the
state into their own hands. :

Children and Money-Getting

"A number of parents of my ac-
quaintance cultivate the bushes
instinct in their children" says
Mary Louisee Graham in Woman's
Home Companion for May. They
pay them for services rendered to
the afmily: they urge and help them
to earn and save money in every
possible way, even by doubling the
amount of their savings. Now
should as soon think OF tipping their
rather for carrying one of my pack
ages as of paying one of my child
rem for any ordinary services to
the household. Besides stimulating
