AFTER THE JOY RIDER.

If you are looking for evidence to
back up the recent declaration of DIR.
Eliot, former president of Harvard
university, that we Americans have
made the worst botch of government
in the recorded history of the world.
you can study the daily report of au-
tomobile accidents, says Hampton's
Magazine for March. In no other CIV
ilized land could you find such a rec
ord of official Incompetence or indif-
ference as the figures will show. But
it is a salutary characteristic of
Americanism that when government
fails of its purpose the citizen, either
as an individual or through organiza-
ton, steps in and initiates the work
which government ought to perform.
Movements require leaders, and the
movement to curb the reckless driver
of automobiles and to cut to a mini
mum the appalling list of casualties
seems to have found a leader in the
person of Colonel Edward Shelton
Cornell, soldier, editor. politician, and
metallurgist. Colonel Cornell is Sec
rotary and active manager of the Ma
tional Highways Protective society,"
The aims of the society are thus
stated by Colonel Cornell: 1--WE are
seeking to have the state of New York
pass law taxing every automobile
and motorcycle 81 per year per horse
power. This would give the state
about 100000 a year which should
be expended directly upon the high
ways. Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and New Jersey have nominal tax OF
this nature which is used for highway
| upkeep. We also favor a highway
commission appointed by the governor
of the state, which shall have the sole
| power to issue licenses to drivers Of

AMERICAN COOKS.

Since the meat boycott called spec
la4 attention to the high price or
packing house products. there has
been evinced, on the part of certain
wise men, disposition to blame the
american woman for the h1gn price
OF meat, because she lacks the ability
to make a chuck steak take on the
flavor and tenderness of two-inch
porterhouse smothered with mush-
rooms. We are willing to admit that
the average woman knows only one
way to cook steak. and that not
very good one, and that the culinary
ability of American housewives has a
few other shortcomings. But there
are thousands of American women
who are better than the average, and
whose cooking is a real joy to the
American, and has made the appre-
citation of home cooking something
more than a sentiment. And what
American women don't know about
meat isn't the cause of the high prices.
You haven't heard of the packers or
butchers giving away any portions OF
the carcass; in the whole business, the
only waste is the squeal OF the hog,
and the believing of cattle, and few
packing houses have installed phono-
graphs to catch this. The Individual
may increase his meat bill by order
ing the choice cuts, but he needn't
fear that this action will result in a
lot of liver and bologna going to
waste.-Atchison Globe.
WHY PRIMARIES ARE BENEFICIAL
Mississippi continues to advertise the
advantages of the direct election of sem
ators. Mississippi regularly chooses
senators at direct primaries and Its leg
islature merely registers the popular
verdict. But the death of Senator Mac
Laurin, creating an unexpected va
cancy, leaves the choice as well as the
ratification of a qI10cRSSOr To the leRtS-
lature. The legislature has taken over
thirty futile ballots. The bitterness IN
evitable to so long drawn out a con-
test was expressed on the day of the
thirty-fifth ballot by the drawing of a
revolver and the displays Of fists. The
contest is costing the state every day
half a senator's annual salary to say
nothing of brood Of feuds. On the
whole 1t would have been cheaper and
more decent for the legislature to call a
special primary to choose a senator.
The direct election Of even Vardaman
would not be so demoralizing in its ef-
fectS as the election of a better man at
the cost Of the present proceeding.
Kansans can congratulate themselves
upon the fact that they have the pri-
mary for the direct selection Of its
United States senators. Contests like
that now being waged in Mississippi re-
call the days when the legislature elect
ed the senators and when the people
had nothing to say in the matter

It is the opinion of G. Loves Dickin-
son, Travelled British subject, that in
these times England is "far more demo-
cratic" than the United States: he says
so in one o. the London reviews His
travels in this country have convinced
him that absence of manners in an
American Is intended to signify not
surliness, but independence. Also that
few ambitious American lads leave col
1ege nowadays with any less or great
er purpose in their hearts than that
of emulating Mr.. Carnegie or Mr.
Rockefeller" He reports to the stay
at-home Britons that individualism has
struck deeper roots here than in Eur
| ope. He feels pretty sure that the o
cialism of Marx will never really thrive
on American soil. but thinks we may
perhaps produce a variety of our own.
