Only visionary Of the Jonathan
Bourne type would have started at this
late hour an agitation t. induce the
Republican National Committee to pro-
vide that delegates 10 the national con
vention be chosen at popular primaries.
Oregon has itself made provision for
Presidential primary. So have certain
other states. and California will prob
ably follow suit But that such pri-

DELEGATES 20 the national convention
would entail considerable expense, for
which there is no provision, and it could
be made an accurate expression of the
choice Of a majority of the voters only
by means Of adequate statutory pro-
vision against fraud. No such laws
could be passed in the great majority of
the states between the meeting of the
national committee and the time when it
would be necessary TO hold the pri-

result that the weakest Republican was

TO be expected, the voters, restricted at
the second primary TO a choice between
a weak Republican and a strong, or at

latter, with the result that the Repub-

the Democrat, Mr.. Chamberlain, 10 the

Possibly Mr.. Bourne and his ally, Mr..
Cummins, would like TO see the same re

a DELUGE OF PITY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have read the editorials or Inc
Tribune dealing with the cult OF Crime
and was much impressed with the lack VI
consistency of some people.
II the government shows the example OF
cruelty and crime toward the mehlallS
deficient how can the weak minded De
blamed for following It? Why should
government assume the right TO punish
and TO Kill when it's duty is to protect ana
prevent?
Crime is a symptom of mental disease
iust as coughing is symptom OF bodily
disease We do not punish or XIII the coH-
sunptive but we take care Of our diseased
brothers: If the disease be bodily one
Ia IL right that we should not be as charl-
table with the Ills of the mind as we are
with those OF the body? The criminals
deserve the pity, not the scorn, Of those
who are relatively sound, and 1t is their
natural duty to take care Of unfortunate

TAFT AND POLITICAL GAME
Correspondent Construes Criticism of
President as Trifing.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Among the criticisms of President
Taft the most prominent one is "he doesn't
know how to play the game of politics.
This remark seems to appeal to the popular
fancy of the unthinkins. careless voter, who
goes no further than the superficial side Of
things. who is easily controlled by his emo
tions and by the sporty element of mod
ern manhood.
Has the game OF politics" taken the
place Of patriotism? Are there no men left
to all our high Offices but men who get
there by playing the game Of politics? Is
President Taft too honest 20 occupy the po-
sition Of Chief Executive of our great ma
ton? Does he stand in the way of some
one who does know how 10 play the game?
No one can deny ne has brought to the po-
sition Of President honor. dignity and fair

DEFENDS ITALIAN SOLDIERS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your excellent newspaper has been
one of the few daily American publications
which has since the very beginning or the
Ttalian-Turkish war impartially related
and discussed the events without any un-
justified abuse Of the italian army and
italian nation. Americans and people or
all nationalties. even Italians may approve
or NOT Of the war, may not be well and read
ilv informed Of its causes, yet more OF lis
necessity from the Italian viewpoint. But
IL IS certainly unjust 10 fabricate or TO
accent malicious news and reports OF unbe-
lievable never-happened atrocities. defam-
ing whole nation which has never been
reported cruel and barbarous
cannot understand how. peaceful. lust
Britain. fair-minded America, may have
any reason to feel envy or hatred toward
Italy. One could easily realize profound
dislike of the war in this peace-loVlns
country Above all, let the fairness OF
American minds and souls repudiate those
malicious reports which an irresponsible
newspaper correspondent wrote in an angry
mood following his expulsion from the
field of war as n peculiar. petty revenge
aeaingt the Italian general who expelled
him If the cruel acts practsed by those
Arabs on the unsuspecting italian soldiers
could only be known - the hundreds OF
Italians found beheaded. the wounded on
the ambulance wagons still shot at, etc
who would compare the unciyilized, blood
thirsty Arabs to the sons of Italy?
why cannot the great acts Of heroism
OF those accused soldiers be told? Why Ia
the story of a little Arab child who was
saved and fed and cared for by an Italian
sharpshooter not reported? Those stories
are told in many European newspapers.
