The Direct Primary System

The Journal has not been a con-
spicuous advocate of direct primary
system. It has not opposed the plan,
In fact has been rather inclined TO Ia
vor 1t, but has been content TO wait
until 1t could learn what satisfaction
the New Hampshire law gave. AS
the reports from that state are very
satisfactory and under this method
the domination OF powerful corpora
ton has been overthrown, this paper
Is inclined to believe that Vermont
may safely try the experiment. The
vote in the House. on Friday passing
the bill by substantial majority,
shows that public sentiment in favor
OF the system has increased materl-
ally during the past two years.
II must be admitted that the opera
ton OF the present caucus system is
far from satisfactory. AS rule few
voters attend the caucuses and dele
gates chosen usually are the men sell
ected by q few local political leaders.
Those persons who are familiar with
the working of political conventions
know Just how delegates are manipu.
lated, how the expenses OF not few
are paid, and the education that the
young man obtains by attending such
conventions Is not always Of a kind
that increases his good opinion OF our
system of government On several
occasions during the past few years
there have been we'll defined rumors
OF the improper use of money. Many
persons will remember that within
the past twenty years In ut least one
convention Glossy divided between
rival candidates there has been
strong suspicion OF the purchase OF
delegates enough to secure victory
These are not pleasant matters to dis
cuss but few OF MS are ignorant OF
them and they furnish n strong argu'
ment for q direct primary law. With
victory hanging In the balance, when
change OF a very few votes will turn
the scale. Il Is possible for an un'
scrupulous political manager In a

Reports from states using the dir

wins quite az often as the rich man,
and when all the excitement OF an
election attends the primaries the
vote brought out naturally FAR exceeds
the old cut and dried. perfunctory
caucus. Certainly the small towns
have Just as much influence In pri-
mary elections as In our present state

At the same time It is rather diff

TO note that the natural resources OF

LAMENESS OF

strengthened by the tendons passing

may exist from decorations of the mus

be overcome but those of more ser

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub

The progressive members of the
legislature are throwing few de-
served boquets at themselves these
days because of the passage OF the
bill appropriating $4,000 for good
roads. The act was one OF the most
commendable of the present session
and undoubtedly means more to the
future of the state than any recent
legislative act In years. At the same
time New Mexico, the sagebrush
waste that was only recently admitted
as a state, is just now reminding us
that the "effete East" must travel in
the rear of the procession when it
comes to real enterprise. In one sec
ton of New Mexico the inhabitants
are urging an appropriation OF $780,
900 for the building of certain high
way and are proposing to raise an
equal amount from private subscrip.
lions for the same purpose.

John Paul Jones as a vermonter

The Barton Monitor returns to the
charge. 1t restates It's argument for
monument to John Paul Jones at
Barton. John Paul Jones" the Mon
itor says, may never have visited
Barton as suggested by the Burling-
ton News, but his name appears along
with those of Col. William Barton,
Hon. Ira Allen and Hon. Daniel Owen
as one of the original proprletors OF
the town of Barton" And the Mont
tor quotes with approval the state
ment that John Paul Jones should
have been taken to Barton-by-the-lake
for his last burial He could not
have been buried nearer the heart of
his Maker"
The town of Sharon has also put
in bid for a Jones memorial. But
Sharon already has a Joseph Smith
monument and that's enough for one
small town. Does Sharon want the

IL is to be hoped that the strike of
the moulders at the Walter A. Wood
works in Hoosick Falls will be set
tied at an early date. When a COM
munity is dependent upon one large
INDUSTRY, as is the case with Hoosick
Falls, any trouble of this nature al
ways means deprivation in the fami-
lies of the workmen, loss OF income to
retail merchants and general contrac-
ton of business in all lines. In re-
cent years the Walter A. Wood com
pany has made large reductions In
its working force during the summer
months, so that its employees have
been subjected to weeks of enforced
idleness. During the winter the
plant has been operated to its
full capacity and the village has
been correspondingly prosperous. If
the present strike Of the moulders
results in a suspension of work in all
departments for any length Of time
the loss of wages will be severely felt
in the community for months to come.

Taft The Nominee.

Mr.. Taft will be renominated for
president. All the talk about the
Hughes candidacy, the LaFollette can.
didacy, is futile, says the New York
World.
Benjamin Harrison was a very un-
popular president His relations with
the republican leaders in congress
were distant and formal. He quarrel
ed with Quay, and Quay controlled the
republican machine. Members of his
own cabinet were disloyal. In the con-
gressional elections of 1890 his party
suffered the worst defeat in its his
tory, only IS republican representa-
tives having been chosen, against ESQ
democrats.
The revolt against the Mckinley
tariff was stronger than the revolt
against the Payne-Aldrich tariff,
The silver question was a source OF
intense anxiety. The populist move
ment was formidable, and the popT-
lists, unlike the present-day insur
gents, were not afraid to break away
from their party. Every republican
leader knew that General Harrison's
denomination meant republican disas-
ter; yet even so popular an opponent
as James G.. Blaine could not defeat
the president in convention. The pow
er of all the opposition that could be
against it,
Mr.. Taft is in a much more favor
able position than that occupied by
General Harrison. He is on good
terms with the leaders in congress. He
controls the party machine. The in
surgent movement against him is
confined to few states, and the great
mass of republicans accept his renom.

Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor anybody
can take the national convention

Republican Oligarchy Rule.


According to a Washington dis
patch to today's Chicago Tribune an
oligarehy of half a dozen republican
members and former members OF the
United States senate virtually con-
trolls the administrative as well as
the legislative branch OF the govern
ment, according to the democratic
house leaders in charge OF the in
yestigations in progress.
With the evidence already disclos-
ed and more which is being delved
for, the democrats say they will be
able TO prove that the government
IS being run by a close corporation
OF politicians representing special in
terests. This oligarchy controls the
enactment of legislation through the
republican party caucus N the sem
ate and then regulates the degree of
the laws enforcement by the execu-
tive branch.
The members OF this alleged OIL
garchy are: Former Senator Nelson
w Aldr.ch. chairman of the nation
al monetary commission; former
Senator Eugene Hale, member OF the
monetary commission; Senator Hen
~ Cabot Lodge OF Massachusetts,.
Senator Boies Penrose OF Pennsyl-
vania. Senator Francis E. Warren OF
wyoming and Senator Jacob H. Gal
hnger Of New Hampshire.
