American Review of Reviews.
1t is plain speaking to brand the
process of presidential candidates who
desire to succeed themselves as vast
conspiracy" but it is not palmer than
the conspiracy The difference be-
tween buying political support with
patronage peddled where 1t will pur-
chase most and paying for it with cur
rency is not a generic one. 1t may be
granted that a distinction exists but
it is less distinction than a refine
ment. Ethically there isn't much diff
ference between the processes.
Let it be noted that 1owa's senator
ial representation is entirely repre-
sentative of Iowa and that Cummins is
doing in national legislation what he
did in state legislation, insisting that
the common voter shall have his vote
counted.

c,JwMlN.s NATIONAL PRIMARY BILL.

Speaking of Senator Cummins. it is
worth while to make not of his re-
markable bill, introduced in the senate
last month, providing for presidential
preference primaries turnout the
United States to select the candidates
of aIA parties. AS we pointed out In
these pages last month. the only legal
recognition of parties at the present
time is in the laws Of the states. Sen
ator cumrnins' bill would give national
recognition to parties. and would pro-
vide legal and uniform way of Sc
lecting popular candidates. 1t would
provide a prompt remedy for the most
appalling evil now existing in our po-
litical life, namely, the use OF all the
influence and power of the executive
servants Of the people to perpetuate
themselves In power regardless Of pub
lie demand. Great M are the inHoxa-
lions proposed in the Cummins bill.

Fond rnothers-mothers with dollars

their dAuxhters' girl friends upon
whom fortune has smiled less favor
ably. When the graduation garments
are being prepared. let such mothers
look over the list Of the class and try
to adapt their children's clothing to
standard somewhat in keeping with
the average purse. 1t would be fair
to do 50. it would be kind-it would be
right What call is there for bridal
magnificence at such time? Why
should the wealthy mother make her
daughter conspicuous with costly silks,
and her sweet-tho poor-girl friends
more conspicuous-by comparison. Is
the lesson of envy to crown the knowl-
edge Of the girl. whose parents are OF
limited means? Is the hated lesson OF
snobbery to be taught the daughter o.
