of one of The greatest possible services
to the city and the state. 1t will be
well for the committeeman to start in

the task before them. We have only to
repeat that per cent. of the voters in
Ohio nominated the tickets in the last
campaign. and that only one voter in
eight in Indianapolis went to the pri-
maries in our own last city campaign.
This bare statement indicates at
once the defect and danger of the pri-
mary election system. 1t was created
to Mace the nomination, as we'll as
election, of candidates easily within
the hands of the people. Its operation
rather, the failure of the voters to
do their duty--has often made it easier
for the bosses to control the parties
and for even bipartisan influences to
nominate the men not only on one, but
on both of the tickets So long as only
two or even twelve voters out of a
hundred participate in the selection of
the tickets it is evident that any. Or

The Biddeford Record winds up
naundering, meandering editorial
mixup, a pointlesg mess about the
Kennebec Journal and Judge Blair, of
Ohio, with:
"The cutlery in Maine as we'll as in
Ohio, is always against the man who
sells this vote) instead against the
man who buys.
The editor of the kennebee Journal
and Judge Blair may agree upon the
subject of prohibition but they are
wide apart ON the subject of vote
bribing."
We must frankly admit that we
fail to see what our Biddeford friend
is driving at. We. cannot answer for
Judge Blair. but if the Record means
that the Journal is against both the
buyer and the seller, it is quite cor
rect. We have not the slightest SYM
pathy for either of them, and would as
gladly see the buyer disfranchised as
the seller. Each is menace to free
institutions and government by voice
of the people.
The liquor interests and their bench.

law despoilers; and we believe we hav
made our position against their entr

MINING IN JAPAN.
Some American Processes Used There
a Great Many Years Ago.

The mining industry is by no means
new to Japan it has been prominent Tor
centuries, and 800 years ago enjoyed a
period of great prosperity. Copper and
sulphur have been mined and exported
for 400 or 500 years. and gold and silver
for centuries in Dutch and Chinese YES
sells.
An expert has computed that during
$50 years, say 1900 to 1859, the exports OF
gold reached the large amount OF S,iboVoo
ounces and that of silver has been esti-
mated at 135. 1000 ounces. The exports
of copper during period OF 20 years
1900 to 1850. may be taken at an average
of 1860 tons per annum.
Many of the ideas and systems now III
vogue in American and European mining
centres were Independently thought out
and practieed in Japan. In copper mines
matte smelling was adopted and even
now is found to be very effective for
small work
| In other Instances the Bessemer plant
has been introduced. The former system
was originated by an official of tue Tada
copper mine in the Province of Settsu
| over 300 years ago. 1t may be described
as the Bessemer process in an elemen-
4
treme economy.
The pumps used centuries ago in
Japan mines were based on the principle
| of the Archimedian screw, and mine sur

| The official supervision of mines in
Japan is in the hands of the Bureau Of
Mines. Nearly 40 years ago a system of
| inspection was introduced, and mining
laws instituted, specifying the duties and
obligations of owners. They were over
hauled about five years ago and brought
up to date
| The Importance of the Japanese coal
mines lies in the fact that they are in
the Far East and that they are practi-
cally inexhaustible. An expert has said
that those who have made estimates of

Estate and its people. Here is sen
tence from the interview of Senator
tObadiah Gardner with a Texas news
paper man, for use in last summer
prohibition battle:
Maine has virtually stood stlii'
with respect to industrial develop
ment, for more than half cen
fury"
You know whether or not that state
Iment is true of your town. Is that
the sort of advertising you wish cir
cu!ated in other states?
And following is paragraph from
an interview with Gov. Plalsted, given
out for circulation in another part Of
the country:
IN this way it has come to pass
that the liquor traffic in the state OF
Maine-which I firmly believe is much
larger per capita than it is in Texas
has fallen into the hands of low or
der of men, nine-tenths of them utter
~ INSCRIPTIONS. as quick to sell bad
whisky to boy as to bribe a police
man. In short. the whole traffic.
from being subject to regulations that
could be enforced and that afforded
some degree of protection against the
worst abuses of the liquor trade, has
become a criminal traffic, not de-
creased in volume, utterly reckless,
far more fertile source of official cor
ruption than it ever was under any
license system in any American state.
The enormous number of arrests for
drunkenness recorded by the police
magistrates of Maine eities-far in
excess of such arrests in any part OF
Texas under a license system-is not
the most significant and terrible phase
of this situation. that phase is the
very large percentage of arrests Of
women and minors for drunkenness
in a state which for 81 years has had
statewide prohibition. Indeed, this
phase of the matter is one which Will
