Direct Primaries.

New Hampshire had its first prac-
teal trial of a direct primary law
on Tuesday of last week. Being so
close to home and under conditions
somewhat similar to those in Vei-
mont, the event had special inter
est for all those interested in this
method of selecting candidates fol-
office. One thing demonstrated is
that it will not prevent political dis
honesty entirely as shown by the fol-
lowing editorial expression of The
Manchester Union, paper which
has been inclined to treat the new
law very fairly. 1t said:
while It Is true that the primaries
are past and intra-party differences
should be in process of amicable ad.
iustment, all true citizens are bound
to agree that 1t would be a gross
neglect of duty to pass without pro
test the corrupt devices by which
Doctor Chalmers was barely defeated
in the contest for the Republican
nomination for state senator in the
seventeenth district. II one-half the
stories of eye-witnesses are accurate
the projectors of the low schemes
which were employed in at least one
ward Of that district should be
ashamed to look any honest man In
the face. The methods which now
appear to have been practioed in
that one ward. especially, serve to
confirm a belief which many people
have long held, and to which others
are being reluctantly forced: viz.
that men-some men-in politics
will stoop to desplcable acts from
the very suspicion of which, in theli
business life, they would recoil with
horror
But there were other important
results Of that election. II gave t.
the people of New Hampshire direct
voice in the selection OF their candi
dates and their first verdict was the
defeat OF the Boston and Maine 20
litical ring. This was a thing the pc,
pie had been struggling for for year,
under the delegate system and the,
had not succeeded. But the frs
time each citizens vote was Above,

THE FARMERS AUTOMOBILE
Keeps the Country Boy Satisfied With
His Surroundings

Il is well known fact that the au-
tomobile is a great help to the mod
ern farmer, not alone for his comfort
but as distinct aid in some OF his
improved farm work. A prominent
labor leader has the following to say
about IL: But why, If the work Is
congenial and the opportunities unsur
passed, does the boy leave the advan-
tages of farm life for the uncertainty
of the city," asks someone. THE
chief reason, perhaps is the lack of
social advantages In the country. The
boy loves company, and life on the
farm, with few companions OF his
own age, gets dreadfully monotonous
sometimes. Too often the farmer
does not even have a driving horse
for his children to use and II they go
TO town or to the neighbors 1t must
be on foot. Walking takes so much
time as to be almost prohibitive and
as a result the boys and girls are con
fined to the farm for the greater
hare of the time. For the farmer
who can afford it--and It is not SO
extravagant as It appears at first
Isight-the automobile is most prof
liable investment Now that automo-
bles are being made which are es-
pecially adapted to country use, they
maye be purchased at figure that Is
we'll within the means OF a great ma
iority of farmers, and when all the
advantages are considered the ben
zine buggy is not luxury but n nee
essity.
ut is always ready to go at mo
ments notice. and 1t covers the
ground at a rate that makes the old
farm team seem wofully out of date.
The boys-and not only the boys, but
the whole family as well-can enjoy

per, visiting the neighbors. going TO
town or simply taking run OF q

exhilaration of the rapid motion sets

Orderly political management"
which William Barnes. Jr, of Albany
says will be one of the issues over
which the delegates to the New York
state convention will battle, is fea-
ture of American life in which the
people of this country at the present
time have comparatively little inter-
est. Orderly political management
may be and apparently is of vital inn
portance to politicians. The man

AUTOS eEcoMINe CHEAPER
Gradual Decline In the Average Price
Since 1907

A most interesting tabulation in
connection with the automobile in
dustry has just been made public by
the Association of Licensed Automo-
bile Manufacturers. II Is a careful
compilation of figures recorded with
the A. L. A. NJ for each year since
1903 and gives the average price OF
automobiles for each year since that
time.
The chart shows an increase in the
price of motor cars from 1903 to 1907
but since that time the average price
has gradually declined. This is not
the result of any radical reduction in
the price of motor cars but is brought
about by the great increase in the
manufacture and sale of machines
selling at $500 or less. In the early
days a car at less than. $4,000 was
rare while now the greatest volume
of business and the greatest number
of machines are under that figure.
The sales recorded by makers Ii
censed under the Selden patent are
for American gasoline automobiles
only BY comparison however the
sales of steam and electric vehicles
are small.
The figures show that the trend In
manufacturing has been to give each
year more for the same list price,
rather than to make any great cut in
the selling figure. There has been n
tremendous increase in the making of
what are termed the moderate priced
cars and a normal and healthy in
crease in the number of the higher
priced machines produced.
From $1133.37 as the average price
for cars in 1908 7the average ran up
to S213750 in 1907 since which time
lit has decreased until the first six
months Of 1910 shows $l545.9S as the
average retail list price of cars.
The following comparative table in
dicates the average price for each
year for the sale of gasolene automo
biles licensed under the Se'den pat
ent (Which is probably eighty-fie pei
