rHE DIREcr PRIMARIES.

Pittsheld (Mass.) Eagle-In New
Jersey the total vote polled at the re-
publican primaries was 10S,795. OF
which Mr.. Roosevelt received 61,297,
Mr.. Taft 44,034, Mr.. LaFollette 3,464.
In 1908 the republicans OF New Jersey
gave Mr.. Taft 265,326. The total vote
at the republican primaries held In
May, 10S,795, is only Al per cent Of this
presidential vote. Less than half the
party took the trouble to express their
choice betwee the candidates presented
Mr. Roosvelt's vote of 61,297 was only
% per cent of the republican vote Of
1908.
The same result Is shown in the dem
ocratic vote in New Jersey where Gov
ernor Wilson received practically all
of the democratic votes cast, his total
vote being about rs per cent Of the
vote cast for Mr.. Bryan in 1908.
Apparently the direct primary isn't
as popular as its advocates thought
that it would be. The figures shown
above must be considered along with
and Roosevelt and the large sums Of
money that the friends Of bcth candi-
dates ut in the canvass. Great crowds
turned out to hear the stump speakers
and there was apparently much enthu-
siasm and interest, but the figures do
not bear this out.
Perhaps the people will take more in
terest in the direct primaries as time
goes on, but the chances are that they
will not unless a campaign presents
some extraordinary features. In an of
year when there are practically no con-
tests and no issues of Importance, the
direct primaries may not amount to
much more than the ordinary caucus.

Keokuk constitutional Democrat: A

why Iowans should stick to Iowa.
Keokuk Gate City: The tendency Is
to make the precautions against tuber-
culosis more and more rigid. At the
recent Washington meeting of the Ma

I'm his sixth annual report (1911) as
president of the Carnegie, Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching, Dr.
uaprv g Pritchett saws:
: According to the census tables
there were in the United States IN
1900. 10000 physicians and surgeons.
In the bulletin on medical, education
issued by the foundation In 1910. II
was calculated after careful investiga-
ton that 1000 graduated annually
from the medical schools woulo
furnish an ample supply OF new physl'
clans to take the places left vacant by
death and other causes, and to keep
pace with the growth of population.
Assuming, and 1t is evidently an ex-
trayagant assumption, that the proper
ton of lawyers to the population
should be as large as the proportion
of physicians, LOO graduates annual
Nv from the law schools would be sur
ficient to maintain even the present
crowded stage of the legal profession
AS a matter of fact, in June, 1910, the
number of students graduated by the
law schools numbered Abb, and this
takes no account of the large per-
centaee of lawyers who are admitted
to the bar without having received
law school diploma. If we place the per
capita need of lawyer at the same
figure as the need Of physician, and
disregard all who enter the profession
without completing successfully law
school course, it is evident that the
output of the law schools OF the
present day is far in excess OF any
necessary demand
at is certain that the demand for
LAWYERS and physicians is much more
than met by the professional schools
today. It is equally certain that the de-
mand for educated farmers Is strik-
ingly neglected"

Waterloo Times-Tribune-T way
to get good roads in any state Is to
build them.
Iowa has for number of years
been trying to build good roads on
wind. Iowa has about as many inter-
urban railroads on paper as any other
state in the union and about as few
interurban railroads as any state with
any pretentions toward progress. In
the case Of the interurbans Iowa's laws
are distinct handicap. Laws made
for steam roads should not be made
to apply to interurbans. We have
talked good roads for so long that we
are hoarse. And We would have the
good roads now, had we talked less
and went about 1t in sane way to
raise money to build them. We lack
organization and money, two essentials
in road building-by organization is
meant uniform system and con-
sistent working force. Not everybody
can build house and not everybody
can build roads. Most anybody can
work at building a house and most
everybody can work at building roads
but what do they have when the
work is concluded?
Massachusetts has tired Of talking
good roads and has determined to
build them It has Appropriated a
million dollars year for five years
to be spent in making roads. That's
the spirit. Massachusetts, really wants
good roads. Iowa is only talking about
them.
According to the department Of agri-
culture it costs more per bushel and
per pound to haul farm products from
the farm to the railroad than from the
point they are received by the rail-
road to their destination. We all
know what a shaking up the farmers
products get while being transported
over the country roads.
Iowa would be glad to pay the ex-
ira taxes per year to make up mil
lion dollars a year road fund. 1t would
be paying investment.
It is time that the cheap talk gave
way to something more substantial
and that we started to do something
toward establishing good roads in
Iowa.

Cedar Rapids Gazette-The housefy
comes with the advent of really warm
weather. The fly Is not much in evil
dence during the early days of sum-
mer when the nights are still cool, and
the warm days are only occasional
But with the warmth of June comes
the opportunity for the fly to flourish.
And he does flourish If given half a
chance. No one needs to admonish the
fly to multiply and replenish the earth
The multiplying and replenishing is
done before we know 1t.
The best way to fight the fly is to
swat him by preventing his propaga-
ton. The best way to prevent propa-
cation is for cities to keep clean; to
abolish piles Of refuse and keep gar
bage cans in such condition that the fly
can't get at them. That doesn't mean
that garbage cans should be without
lids. It does mean that every one
should be covered. The house owner
or tenant who allows his garbage can
to remain uncovered should be remon-
strated with by the authorities. An
open garbage can will fill whole
neighborhcod with flies, and perhaps
scatter the seeds of death in many
homes.
Swat the fly by giving him no place
in which to propagate and live.
