DLRECT PRINARIES PROGRESS.

When direct nominations were rejected
al Albany last year the movement seemed
to have received a setback, but II shows
great vigor again this year. New Jersey
is practically sure to pass bill going
much further with the system than any
Eastern or even Middle Western State
has gone hitherto, and a bill providing
for a complete system Of direct nomina-
tions in Massachusetts has just been
unanimously reported in the Legislature
of that state. This has been done in
Massachusetts despite the fact that New
York was solemnly assured that the sys-
TEN had failed in Boston. The Massa-
chusetts General Court has the example
of Boston right under its eyes. yet its
committee voted 10 q man in favor Of
statewide direct system. Moreover,
the movement does not lack vigor in
New York, for reports from Albany in
dicate that though the leaders dislike
the direct system the Democratic party
feels that il must be adopted. .
The bills pending in these three states
follow Western models rather than the
adaptation of them devised by Governor
Hughes. the inclination being 10 adopt a
system that has been tried rather than
10 experiment with one that is novel. II
was this natural hesitation that TO some
extent accounted for Governor Hughes's
defeat. However. if a state adopts the
Western or original type Of direct pri-
maries with little mOdi cation. that
by no means precludes it from eX-
perimenting subsequently with Governor
fIughes's plan for having nominations
suggested by committees chosen for
That purpose at the primaries. There is
tendency wherever the direct system
exists for the regular party organiza-
tiops 10 prepare what are virtually states
for submission to the primaries. 1t may
he found worth while for the state 10
reach out and take control Of The prepa-
ration Of such states In that case the
Hughes committee plan would he the
natural method Of attaining that object
and might be adopted by any state which
had first tried the original system.

TIE FlRYERS' FREE LIST.


As was TO he expected, the most thor
oughgoing and radical opposition TO the
Clark-Underwood farmers free list Dill
comes from tariff ff-forrevenue-only Dem
ocrats. The Houston Post which ac-
cepts Mr.. Bailey's theories of tarin tax
alton. calls Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under
wood revenue annihilators.' 1t argues
forcefully against the removal OF duties
on any articles. whether raw materials
or manufactures. and against free list
of any sort as n blow at the revenues
and a Discrimination In favor OF one
class of consumers at the expense OF
other classes. The Bailey ideal of a
tariff is a duty on everythiDg-as "Tne
Post puts 1t, low revenue tariffs on
all imports" Such system aims pri-
marily at benefiting neither the producer
nor the consumer; it aims only at col
lecting taxes on consumption for the
benefit of the Treasury. 1t cares moth
ing for the manufacturer as such nor
for the farmer as such. and seeks TO
cut off the manufacturers free access
10 raw materials rs earnestly as 1t con-
demns an attempt to give the agricultu-
rist untaXed access to the articles which
ne uses.
From the prOtectionist point of view
the free list has its ecorOmic uses. The
1 purpose Of protection is to stimulate and
diversity domestic industry and 10 tax
I imports when their entry in large guam
I titles would threaten the home producer.
/ If they do not threaten domestic indus
try the trainers Of protective tariffs are
glad to let imports come in free. In
( fact. under the Dingley and Payne tariff
laws about half our Imports have come
/ in untaxed. Protectionists will oppose

Gratis Of the Bailey school are bound to
oppose il root and branch or else sur

majority party in the House is in the
curious position of having reported a
tariff bill thoroughly Objectionable in

watch the reception which the Clark

PEARRlNGING POSTOFFTCES.

\ vigorous protest by the people Of q
New Jersey suburban town against the
abolition Of their local postofIice by
recalls attention to what seems to be
enc Of the penalties Of progress. Similar
protests have been numerous almost
ever since the establishment Of the rural
free delivery system and the initiation
Of the practice Of consolidate Of Of
fees. II Is probably safe 10 assume that
the net result Of the new postal policy
has been for the good Of the public and
has commanded the grateful approval Of
tie majority. Nevertheless, there does
seem to he ground for some Of the objec-
tons which are made. and while these
do not condemn the whole system they
suggest the possibility Of so modifying
some features OF ir as 10 avoid even
these few undesirable conditions.
The abolition of local pOstoiice often
destroys in Il degree the title Of the
place 10 recognition as an individual
municipality. 1t leaves ii for postal pur-
poses Il place without name, and it is
conceivable that in some cases that may
be serious injury to material interests
Where the smaller municipalities are
politically and organically merged into
the larger. as In the annexation of many
towns and villages 10 New York, this
objection may not be valid and # may
hc 10 local advantage to become identi-
fed with the larger place. But where
Il municipality maintains It's separate
ana independent existence it seems TO
have some claim 10 postal recognition.
j. is conceivable that postal efficiency
might be increased by merging, for eX-
ample, many of the Westchester County
pOStollices into that OF New York. but
Iarrytown and White Plains would have
real cause for complaint if they were
thus IOminally eliminated from The
postal guide and map.
In some cases, too, the new system II
positively misleading in some of its ef-
fectS Thus certain villages in New Jer.
sey on the line of one railroad are
served by free delivery from offices on
an entirely different and non-connecting
railroad. The not unreasonable assulnp-
tion that people live within what we
may call the sphere of influence Of The
New-York tribune., 1911-04-17

Others permit any number Of consecu-
five terms. II is not clear that either
class has for that reason any superiority
over the other in respect to good govern
ment. If the people wish to re-elect
man. for 10 matter how many TERMS
they have The right 10 do so. unless they
have voluntarily renomced that right.
But there is reason FOR thinking that
the adoption and enforcement Of the
single term rule would at this time he
advanta geous to the Latin American
states. 1t would not have been gcOd
thing for Mexico years ago. for the very
salvation Of that country depended upon
The retention In office term after term
of the one man who seemed To be strong
enough To govern il in spite of itsel1.
But that case was entirely exceptional,
as was the man. and in that case there
is reason 10 hold that the good GUS
tom Of reelection has now outliyed Its
usefulness and is in danger of doing
harm. The experiment Of generally pro-
hibitinC reelection will be interesting
and If faithfully worked ont may go
far toward the protection Of constitution
alism against the revolutionary move
ments and seIf-assumed relationships
which have marred the history Of those
countries

SIGNS OF SUMNER.

With a snow furry early on Easter
Day and a temperature through all its
hours that reminded one Of nothing else
SO much as Of bleak green Christmas, "
it would he mockery TO discourse OH signs
Of spring. TO be sure the opera season
closed last Saturday. but the vernal sig
nificance Of that occurrence is more than
Offset by the announcement Of no fewer
than three theatrical openings for to-
night, with a fourth 10 come on Friday.
There may be no spring at all in 1911,
the year passing suddenly from the in
clemency Of March into summer heat
Let us therefore keep up our courage
by looking around for such signs of sum-
mer as can be discovered.
4 chauffeur has met his death on Il
racing track out West. an aviator has
been killed in France. bnngalow are be-
Ing offered for sale, and vacation tours
announced. Mems straw hats are begin
ming TO make their appearance in some
show windows and summer "shirtings'
in others. Coney Island has had one
busy Sunday, and 1t is reported that The
open Slreetcar has been seen i'm these
iatitudcS. Also, the Giants have lost two
games.
The rural boarding house its canned
fare and all It's diScomforts. mainstays
of the paragrapher in the months 10
come, are creeping back into the humcr
Of the hour. The annual dissertation on
New York as a summer resort must al
ready be- lurking in some pigeonhole, the
recurrent variants Of the heat and hu-
nidlty iokelets already be terminating
IN some fertile brain. The COW that
scares the summer girl, the 'skeeter and
the sea serpent are rehearsing their COM
icalities. Oh, let MS he cheerful. And
last, but not least, our out-of town con
tcmporaries have begun 10 tease the

railroad over which their mail is trans
mittcd often causes travellers To take
the wrong road and goods to he wrongly
shipped. IT, for example. Mamaroneck
were made TO receive its mail from
Tarrvtown. and the postal address or
Mamaronock people were made to be
Tarrytown. a stranger might not unrea-
sonably think that Mamaronecll was
most easily to he reached by way Of the
Hudson River road. Precisely such con-
ditions exist in various places in New
Jersey. and they lead 10 no little con-
fusion and trouble.
These things do not. rs we have said,
condemn the system But they do
strongly suggest the desirability Of 80
administering il as to retain local indi-
viduality and to let the postoltice adj
dress of persons indicate with some de-
gree of accuracy their actual location.
In some cases this is best 10 be done
by the people themselves or by the ccnl-
munities. In others, ard probably In
most. il is best TO be done by the Post
Office Department In more judiciou>ly
arranging the delivery routes and more
perspicuously devising their nomenclat-
ure. Probably the major part Of the con-
fusion would be avoided by the simple
expedient Of retaining the old local

COLD STORAGE EGGS
A Merchant Points Out That They
Sometimes Involve Heavy Losses.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to reply to letter from
L. C. Floyd. OF Bnghamton, \. Y, dated
March 81 and published in your issue Of
Sunday, April g. His subject Is the stor-
age for food products and refers 10 eggs
particularly. His statement that "one little
firm Of spectators" stored fortyfive mill
ion eggs at a. cost Of % cents and sold them
at 45 cents IS highly misleading TO the
general public.
Eggs are stored during the season when
production is largest and are always sold
from first hands at a price materially un-
der the price Of fresh eggs. Last year eggs
were stored at an average price OF 22i4
cents. and our highest quotation in the fall
was 26i5 cents. This market lasted only a
few weeks, and even during these few
weeks the selling price did not show a
reasonable profit 10 cover the risk OF spec
u!ation, as holding charges amount TO
about 2i5 cents a dozen. By the first Of
December, 1910, the finest storage eggs
were selling at IS cents. In January they
sold at IS 70 @ cents, and In February they
cleaned out al II TO Il cents ard the losses
among the spectators have been heavy.
Mr.. Floyd's figures sound absurd to any
one who knows about the egg business, and
we would like 10 have them proved. We
handle eggs IN thirty-dozen cases. and his
forty-five million eggs figure 10 l25000 cases
O, thirty dozen each. There are very few
weeks in the year when New York receives
as many eggs as this, and We do not be-
leve there are many spectators who
would care 20 take hold Of New York's sup
ply for one week. II any one did it last
year we can assure you he is almost busted
to-day or at least has suffered to an ex-
tent that makes him pray for the day
when storage eggs will be sold for what
they are. and not pass of as fresh eggs TO
the public that should set what 1t pays for.
