MEDAL FOR WESTINGHOUSE

Work in Electricity.

Boston, June 1.-THE final event Q, h..

Electrical Engineers vas the banquet TO-
night at the Hotel Somerset, when the Ed
son Medal was presented to George West.
inghouse. II was the third general award
OF this prize, instituted b. old associates
OF Thomas A. Edison, and IL was made 70
Mr.. Westinghouse for rneritorious achis7e
ments in development Of the alternat!ng
current system OF light and power. For.
mer Edison medallists have been Elhu
Thomson, in 1909, and Frank 7. sprs que, IN
1910. Mr.. Thomson made tbs presentation
address this evening.
When the Edison Medal Association vas
formed, IN 1904, trust fund was subscribed
TO award the medal annually. II was IN
tended TO give II to college students. but in
1905 IL was decided 20 award II each year 20
the person in this country or Canada per
forming the most meritorious achievement
in electrical science.
Twenty-three years ago there arose be-
tween Thomas \. Edison and George West
inghouse controversy as 70 the prsctics
bility OF the alternating current system Of
electrical distribution. Mr.. Westinghouse
insisted on the worth OF the alternating cur
rent in the face Of Mr.. Edison's character
ization OF IL as scientifically and CONNER
cially impra cticable."
In 1889 prominent magazine printed Mr.
Edison's condemnation OF the alternating
current, IN which the inventor empharcalH
stated that high tension and alternauns
currents were dangerous to life in the eI'
IRENE and wholly unnecessary. Mr.. West
inghouse replying TO the inventors aruels'
commended on the other hand that they weF'
superior to the Edison mode of Distribution
because they permitted smaller and SAFER
voltage within buildings by being broken Up
into independent currents. while the foFTas'
carried the same voltage on interior wires
az on the mains.

THE ISSUE AS HE SEES ".

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The issue that must stand out IN
this campaign, distinctly as the meridian
gun. ,s as follows. Theodore Roosevelt was
decisively elected Republican candidate tor
President by direct primary vote OF inc
people. That vote was brazenly ignored,
dened. disregarded by the bosses In con-
troll Of the Republican convention and MI
TAFT chosen as nominee. The dragging In
Of the name OF Justice Hughes as COM
promise candidate was a preposterous
cenard No one with the slightest knowl-
edge Of Justice Hughess career would dis
honor him by entertaining the remotest
thought that he, the pioneer and foremost
champion OF the direct primary. would be-
come the standard bearer of the forces
that would tramplc direct primaries into
tho dust.
The delegates to that convention could
no more compromise Mr.. Roosevelts cleo
ton than the Electoral College could have
compromised Mr.. Tafts election over Mr..
BRYAN in 1909 by choosing Judge Parker
President. You cannot compromise the vote
OF the people. Roosevelt must have been
tho candidate under any and all circum-
stances. and when driven 10 IL his dele
gates magnificently carried out the VIII
OF tho people In launching a third party
with Roosevelt the standard bearer. He
goes before the country with title sealed
by the votes Of the people that none can
dispute. Il. r. I.

{ cPuJr " THE UNIT RULE,

Tho Democratic National Convention
did not vote on Wednesday night 10
abolish the unit rule. 1t merely limited
tho application Of the rule in order 10
make il conform 10 the letter and spirit
Of the election laws i'm some Of the prl-
mary states. The limitation imposed
was one suggested by common sense.
The convention denied the right Of the
Ohio state convention-whoseo only func-
tiop under the state law was 10 name
delegates at large suggested by the
Democratic candidate polling the lsrg-
est vote in the statewide preferential
primarv-to 60 outside its province and
try to impose its will on the delegates
chosen independently from the Congress
districts
When the Ohio state convention was
held The Tribune said that the Harmon
managers had done an unfair and ap-
parently Illegal thing in seeking to bind
the district delegates by the unit rule.
The Ohio law contemplated independent
action on the part Of the district voters.
The state convention had no hand in the
selection Of district delegates, and con-
seduently under any Just Interpretation
of Democratic theory no right to instruct
them or restrain them in any way. Tn
der the convention system all Demo
cratic delegates were either chosen by a
state convention or were subject to its
instructions. But the new primary laws
In some Of the states have taken away
from conventions the right to share in
the naming of district delegates. Some
have even abolished conventions, and
i'm those the power TO impose the unit
rule has passed out of existence, there
being no longer any elective body rep
resenting both the state as whole and
all its separate parts.
The Harmon managers in Ohio were
forced TO contend that the Toledo con
ventiOn spoke for the entire Democratic
body in Ohio. But the Ohio law did not
intend it so to speak IF it had 50 in
tended IL would have provided merely
for statewide preferential primary
and would have empowered the state
convention 10 name both district dele
gates apd delegates at large in accord
ance with the state wide verdict The
Democrats at Baltimore merely decided
that since the unit rule conficted with
the state law the rule would have to
yield and not the law. IL has thus
opened the way 10 partial repeal of
the unit rule through state action.
New York's vote 10 sustain the Har-
mon managers is easy to'eKplain. II Mr..
Murphy had not had the forethought TO
put a provision in the primary law of

THE BLIGHT OF THE PRIMARY.

THE BLIGHT OF THE PRIMARY.
The admission by one of the leaders
in the Roosevelt third party movement
that II cost almost S3,000OOO' TO con
duct the coloners recent campaign for
the Republican Presidential nomination
is sufficient 10 condemn as vicious ana
scandalous the experiment of choosing
delegates to national conventions by the
present loose methods of the popular prl-
mary. The introduction Of what in
many states is practically preliminary
Presidential election has opened the door
to profuse expenditure which must
eventually put bar on the aspirations
Of any candidate who Is not himself
millionaire or cannot raise through
friends an cxtravagant campaign fund.
Popular primaries were held this year
I'm only twelve Of the forty-eight states.
In this state district delegates were
elected by direct vote hut outside OF
New York County there were very few
contests Had New York's election oc-
Cured in May instead Of in March there
would probably have been fight all
along the line and the Roosevelt ex-
penditure here would have run at least
half million higher than II actually
did If the present primary system had
been in use in all the states 1t is not
unrea sonabe 10 suppose that II would
have cost the two leading Republican
candidates from Ss.000.00 TO $1,000 900
Ia make their direct appeal TO the voters
It is no wonder that under these cir
cumstances the Republican National
Convention declined to express its ap-
proval of the primary rs means or
electing national delegates. Such an
approval would have involved q regret
table departure from the wholesome
precedents Of the past, under which pub
lie men of moderate means were eligible
10 compete for the Presidential nomina
ton. Only the candidate with g bar
rel" would have q chance in 4 fight re
ouiring q speaking canvass of three
months and the minute organization by
paid agents Of Congress districts. and
even counties. in threefourths Of the
states in the Union If plutocracy ever
bad a say under the old system of max
ing nominations, its influence would be
multiplied ten-fold under q general use
Of the new method Money to spend for
advertising and organization would be
come the first qualification of a candi-
date for the Presidency, and the longest
purse would put to rout the wisest head.
1t may be possible TO correct the strik-
ing faults of the primary method by
rigidly restricting the amount TO be
spent by or in behalf of a candidate and
by making all elections fall within the
same week instead Of stretching out
over three or four trying months. But
until the glaring defects Of the primary
as we now know 1t have been cured no
Republican National Convention would
be justified in recommending its general
application. The system as so far
worked out has stimulated excessive and
suspicious expenditure and brought IN
necessary decentralization and disorder
into national politics

SHIPPERS TRYING ro SAVE n.

SHIPPERS TRYING TO SAVE n.
The Democratic plan to abolish the
Commerce Court has brought shippers
TO Washington with protests and with q
demand that the jurisdiction Of the court
be increased The decision of the Su-
preme Court leaves shippers with no
appeal from the rulings of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They complain
that a system which allows railroads 10
appeal from the commission but leaves
Complainants with no recourse when the
commission declines to make an order
or fails to make one which is satisfac-
tory is Onesded and unfair. Yet that
appears to he the situation, and at a
recent session Of the Commerce Court a
large number Of appeals by shippers
were thrown out on the ground that
under the decision Of the Supreme Court
they could not he entertained.
The proposal is that the court have
the power TO consider questions Of law
entering into the commissions refusal
TO grant relief or it's failure to grant the
measure Of relief asked for This is q
different thing from giving the court
the jurisdiction II was attempting to
arrogate 10 itself, which would have
made it practically an appellate commits
sion. II the railroads have the right Of
appeal on questions Of law it seems
proper that shippers should also have it,.
The activity of shippers in behalf Of
the Commerce Court may have the effect
of convincing Congress Of its mistake in
seeking TO abolish IT,
