MARYLAND PRIMARIES BRING
OUT GOOD MEN.

Maryland's new primary law has
given spirit 10 the usually colorless
Congressional campaigns IN that State.
There is real dash and genuine inter

Using only that the hest man shall
WIN Maryland has shown that she
likes the idea already
The influence of the new system OF
nominating candidates for Congress Is
plain. There are men in almost every
district in the State who have announc-
ed their candidates., without consult
ir any political boss, without con
ferring with any group Of ward heel
ers OF without asking permission of
either party's leaders That Is the
first effect OF the direct primary.
As for the next effect. we must wait
It viii be the voters turn. Citizens
of Maryland can 20 TO the polls and
vote for whom they please They have
always had a constitutional right 10
DO this in general elections, but they
have never before had a direct voice
in the nomination OF their candidates
for Congress They sent delegates to
conventions and the conventions gen
orally were run by two OF three men,
II Is this direct vote that Is likely
TO upset the calculations Of party man
ayers It cannot lie depended upon

independence-to enter the lists.
Men of this type are not petty pol
iticians- They viii not dicker with
side-dOOr workers for political pre-
ferment. They viii not sell the office
they seek, IN order to get it They
have honorable political ambitions and
are willing 70 submit them to nobody
else
To the extent that It has brought q
higher class OF candidates into the
field, the Maryland system Is thus far

INSURGENT STRENGTH Still
GROWING IN WEST.

Republican insurgency showed the
breadth and strength of its scope again
on Tuesday, when 1t swept through
California in an amazing victory over
the old Southern Pacific political ma
chine and developed sufficient power
IN Nebraska to capture five OF the
SIX Congressional districts and to make
a bid for the govenOrship that viii
probably necessitate an official count
TO determine the result. In Nebraska
the contest IN nearly every district
was on a straight-out issue Of Cannon
ism The result, coming on the heels
OF the Iowa and Kansas insurgent
victories, should cause the Administra-
ton and the regular Republicans to
see the wisdom Of speedily adopting a
militant progressive policy if they
would retain the confidence of the
MISSES OF the people in the party.
In California the insu-gent gains
might well be designated as phenom-
email The insurgent candidate for
governor Is reported to have carried
the whole insurgent State ticket with
him. The ProgressiFes have added two
Congressional districts TO their col
umn, and have obtained the indorse-
ment of their candidate for United
States Senator.
One OF the most significant features
of the California and Nehr-ssI-a ,os,,I.-
is found in the bearing they VIII have
on the SPeakeTship in the next VA
tional House. By meeting the demands
Of the people for progressive canJi-
dates, the Republicans Of these States
VIII have much better chances of sue
cess against Democrats than in States
where the standpat organizations have
forced the nomination Of standpat

Broadly speaking. saIesmanship is
merely assisting the custOme.- in making
his selection Assisting him to his own
advantage and to the advantage OF the
house. for the interest OF the customer
is the interest of the merchant in every
case.
NO good salesman viii ever allow
person 10 buy an article not suited to
the buyers purpose
But the real craftsmanship comes in
bringing the transaction TO a close To
consummate the deal and set the cash
is the real object Of a good salesman
We viii take your clothing business for
example When a man comes in here
for suit Of clothes. as a rule he is
uncertain what he wants The wise
salesman viii never ask him what he
wants to pay for suit, or. in fact, any
other direct question He viii take
down half a dozen suits, listening care
fully TO the remarks Of his customer
till he finds about what he wants By
this time he viii have out dozen suits
of clothes
Real craftsmanship begins right here
The question now becomes one of having
the customer decide c. one Of those
suits and pay for it, and there is only
one process That IS the process of
elimination It's time 10 begin putting
clothes away One suit after another
OF the least desirable must be put out
of sight till the salesman has eliminated
all but two suits. and If he is good

ACUTE SITUATION CON
FRONTS ADMINISTRATIONS

No man can tell today what viii
come Of the complications in which
the national Administration ) now
enguifed- The. most acute situation
Is that In which former President
Roosevelt IS the central figure. What
Is Teddy going TO doz7 has become q
question Of greater import than It has
been at any time since the eoIoneFs
return from Africa
Following Colonel RooseveIt,s re-
buff at the hands of the New York
Republican committee have come nre-
dictiOns that he Is about TO break with
the President and throw I'm his lot
with the Insurgents. u remains 10
be seen, however, whether the New
York contest in which Colonel .Roose-
welt Is involved broadeus 10 the ex-
tent OF affecting the relations between
the former President and lIr- Taft. It
IS apparent that Colonel Roosevelt has
a fight on with Vice President Sber-
man and the old machine leaders IN
New York. It does not necessarily
follow that he Is going 90 lead. or try
10 lead, d nationwide opposition TO
regular Republicans in the Congress
sIoual campaigns OF that he Is ont for
the Presidency against Mr. Taft in
1912. These developments might grow
out Of the present New York situa-
ton, but there Is as vet nothing but
suTmise upon which to base them.
New York and Roosevelt. however.
are not the only difficulties in the Ad-
ministration path The plan to clean
up the Republican party by casting
out AIdrich, Cannon. and BaIIfne~
doesn't seem TO be working very we'll
The scheme was TO sooner announced
than Mr. Cannon declared himself d
candidate for reelection as Speaker,
and Mr. BaIlinger issued another state
ment DENYING he was to resign. Only
Mr. AIdrich, apparently, could be
counted on to efTaee himself for his
Party's good, ana this not until next
spring. Evidences Of increasing insur-
gent strength are PiIing up almost
daily, while the Democrats are active
y alive to their opportunities and are
bending every effort to reap an ad-
vantage from Republican discord.
Mr. TAFT and the national RepUBIi-
can leaders face q serious situation
That they are in danger CT losing con
troll OF the party TO the insurgents. or
OF suffering defeat at the hands OF the
Democrats seems probable. The time
between today and election day IS
perilously short for them to overcome
the opposition they have encountered
within and outside the party.

candidates. Democratic victories would
be the logical result IN such Instances
whereas, by meeting the public's de-
mands in the primaries, Nebraska and
California, Ike other Western States,
are IN good shape to elect Republicans.
tuesdays primaries go long way to-
ward fOrecasting the defeat of Mr..
Cannon for Speaker should the next
House be Republican
The standPat politicians who felt 50
well satisfied with themselves after

been talking so glibly about crushing

Note how The price has SCARED. in
1907 hair was worth only about p cents
pound, wholesale, and we imported
but 56I32 pounds OF it. While in 1908
we brought in 1878 pounds, with
the price at something over 20 cents.
Such a rate of growth in face Of so
rapid an increase in price Is almost
unprecedented in other lines OF com
