tions we shall have good nominations There are some who declare that we do not elect good legislatures and that therefore the people must enact the most important laws in order to be certain that they are good laws. There are more who insist that, al- though the people have shown them selves incapable of electing good dele gates to nominating conventions, they will never fail to select good candidates at a direct primary.
 That has yet to be demonstrated. We have direct primary law. and in t..is city on the republican ticket there will be 152 names from which the repUO- lican electors are to pick out the best men" No one elector will have to choose between so many as that, but each must select from among seventy one names, in addition to congressman, state senators and assemblymen
 It is not easy to see how electors are said not to be competent to make a wise choice of delegates to a party convention. all living in their own election precinct, can be assumed as certain to choose wisely among seven ty-one candidates whose homes are scattered over 15O odd thousand square miles.
 Or, to come nearer home, there are in this city twenty three republican candidates for justice of the peace That is an important office, but who of us is able to choose from that twentythree the five candidates most suitable for the place?
 In the end we must fall back on the character of the electorate. If it is good t can easily choose good dele gates to a political convention.
 If it is not good it cannot properly perform the far more difficult task of direct nomination of candidates.
 Professional reformers constantly fail because they put their trust in new devices of this kind. No sooner have they set up a new machine than they are compelled to begin tinker ing it.
 The Chronicle desired the enactment of direct primary law, for it was be- lieved by many good men to be a rem edy for some acknowledged evils. IL publicly advocated such a law at least year before it was advocated by any other paper in California.
 But We did not fail to point out it's oblivious bal features and to warn all not to expect too much of it.
 At the last legislature the Chronicle also favored the law drawn by it's pro- motors as against the wretched make shift which was finally enacted.
 It seemed worth while to try it, but there are many as good men as the most loud-lunged .refOrmers who have | never believed in it and who insist 1 that representative government within l party state and nation is the only popular government which can sue | ceed.
 And that a people who cannot elect | good representatives cannot make good | nominations to office or enact wise l laWs.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE LAST GRAND ARMY MAN.

 GA vision of Decoration Day in 1951O The brilliant sun shone bright athwart The dOmes and colonades of Washing -
 ton. In peerless grandeur lay, beneath it's
 beams. The mighty. busting arteries of life: And thronged those avenues a mass of
 men And women, old and young. And child
 hood, too, Was there with artless grace and hands
 that held Fair gifts of Springtime's sweetness
 fragrant flowers. Nor these alone were throngs and
 dense packed men Two hundred millions, all the land
 across, Were bringing votive offerings to deck
 graves that, by time with matted
 sod, thick-clad, Were ever green; hallowed by mem ories grand, And wet each May-time with a na-
 tion's tears. But at the Capitol. in honored seat, Sat one. That one with reverent awe beheld, Took precedence of ermined judge. All eyes Forsook the nations president to gaze Upon the feeble, ge-wreck'd veteran. The one alone yet spar'd by cruel time To link the living with the quiet mounds of Arlington. And grander in the eyes Of thoughtful multitudes, those hOary locks, That time bent, pain -racked frame than all the domes, Resplendent with the gorgeous Stars and Stripes, That reared in massive grandeur movements Of might resistless in the land that he Had loYed-had saved.

A PET FOR THE CHILDREN.

Educators are making an earnest plea that each child shall have a pet and be taught to care for it, feed it and, if it is teachable, train it to do some of the tricks which delight little folks. There is a moral lesson in the love of pets. In learning to be kind to dumb creatures and thoughtful of their needs, a child is receiving an education which is of equal value with that which he derives from books.

The magnifi- cent performances of Curtiss and Brookins are rather more than offset by the destruction of Zeppelin III and Erbslohe's dirigible, to say nothing of minor mascarriages of aeroplanists and aeronauts.

The provision of proposed constitu- tiors for an annual session of the state legislature will probably not be received by taxpayers with a great deal of favor. The complaint univer- sally is that legislatures are too fre- quent, and some of them We could name should not convene at all.

Fred w. Carpenter, United States min.
lister at Tangier. its approval Of a decree
which the Sultan of Morocco proposes tc

In that country. The decree is to be is

properly guarded. The proposed law
provides for the protection Of both the
legal and equitable rights heretofore ac-
quired by foreign persons and companies
in Morocco. 1t also contains liberal resu-
lations under which such companies and
persons may in future secure the right
to locate and operate mines In that coun-
try. The regulations provide for the is
suance to any person or company Of an
unlimited number Of exclusive prospec-
tors permits, each OF which covers q
circular area having q diameter Of over
seven miles and q regular operating per-
init covering an area OF 10000 acres or
moro than 231 square miles. There may
be also secured a more or less temporary
nearly 1000 square miles.
The conditions Of operation provided by
the decree. 1t Is said. will be found par
favorable to those who are pre-
pared to undertake the work upon q
large scale.

University Of Marburg.

Landgrave Philip 1.-The Generous" found
ed the University Of Marburg in 1872, and
i 1t has since been one OF the most popular
| theological schools in Germany. There
are now about 1900 students. with III
professors and faculties Of theology sci
ence. law and philosophy.
The university building was built only
few years ago of the early Gothic
style to conform with the rest of the city.
and is much admired for its architecture
The university library, which occupies a
similar building, has q valuable collection
OF about 100000 books and many manu-
scripts.
The most interesting place in the town
is the old schloss. or castle of the mar
grave, where the reformers met in 1929 to
settle their differences regarding the
eucharist and other theological questions
They came from all parts Of Germany,
from Holland and from Switzerland, to
the number Of sixty, and met In the Rtt-
tersaal or Knights Hall, a large apart
ment with vaulted roof, massive COL
umns and Gothic arches, which in 1872
was restored as nearly as possible to the
condition and appearance in which 1t was
at that time
Luther was the leading spirit of the
German delegation. and Swingli of the
Swiss, and they had long and earnest dis
cusStons over tho Interpretation of GER
tain passages Of Scripture. When he first
arrived at Marburg Luther took lodgings
At the Inn Of the Bear, but the landgrave
invited him to take up his abode at the
castle.

Lobster Catch of Year 1910.

PORTLAND, Me-, December 3O.-The
fishermen of Maine caught 1885 So
Holsters during the year 1910, for which
they were paid s2,145.2O4. according to
the fishery commissioners report. This
is 10000 more than the previous year
and nearly twice as many as in 1906.
when the catch was 100000. The
steady increase in the lobster catch i'm
the past five years is attributed by the
commissioner to the present method OF
propagating used by the state and the
better enforcement of the short lobster
law.
