ARE WE ON raE RIGHT TRACK

Win the primary solve the problem? Are We on the right track for select inE candidates for nomination? Are We not piling up expense and failing to secure that which we have so long sought? To date several states have held primaries for allowing tho pop ulace to exercise their choice of se- lection in the several candidates seek ing the nomination at the hands of the people-on the republican and democratic ticket.
 Who puts up the Candidates-the politicians or the people? What Is the difference 1T one of them is selected at the national convention or at pri- maries? Do not tho politicians win out in the end? Arc they not wise to the fact that they must give the people several 10 choose from, any approval? Does 1t no, strike one ss the old political game of Heads win, tails you loser"
 Holding presidential primaries. so far. has convinced the masses that it Is a rather expensive luxury. It is two elections instead of one. The candi-
 dates must tour the country in behalf | of their nomination. then in the fall l the lucky fellow must tour the stntes ! in order to try and secure the suffrage ] of the voters.
 In several states a recount has been demanded by the people where the ! contest has been closed and in the
 national conventions sbere will be
 many contested delegates. tc the va l rious candidates. The states are put l 10 6 considerable extra expense. the candidates themselves have to touI
 the country. and who will pay for all ! this The various candidates? Nay. nay. Pauline! Some will ose and the party who happens to land their man In the White House will repay those who put up a thousand fold for the 1 chances, while the defeated ones win pocket their losses and say Well. @ thousand to one shot Is a good one to | take any time-and it Is.
 The primaries have a good high sounding name. but the politicians
 have the selecting of candidates. sc
 after all are we on the right track
 Are we not giving the people a little 1 more opportunity 10 spend their
 money upon the primaries and make them liar loose" so they cannot do so much active kicking when the real election takes place.

 All who had Inc pleasure of being familiar with our departed citizen, realized his worth, and are satisfied that as men average up he was a lit- tie above the ordinary. in force of character and honor. He was a work cr, one who picked up his share of the load and walk away with il, cheer ing others along at the same time. for he was always good natured. one of those fellows who are the same no matter where one meets them be il out in the hills. in the shop TO in the thTch-he was natural. and heinz such was always the same.
 How much better it is after all to bc natural, that is live. or erk out an existence here on this e$rth as We enter il and leave it?

PROBE DEEPLYgTHE
g. TITANIC DISASTER

WASHINGTON, D. c. Special
We are not going to have any star
chamber proceedings. The country
has right to know the truth about
this terrible disaster, and Wen ascer-
tain the truth if we possibly can"
This statement made here by
Senator William Alden Smith. OF
Michigan, chairman of the Senate
committee investigating the Titanic
calamity, showed that the investiga-
ton would be open and drastic.
When the Senate COMMITTEES
resumed is labOrs Monday it
was with the intention of bring
ing Light TO bear upon the fol-
lowing points:
1. Why was the high speed of
the Titanic maintained despite
the warnings received OF the
great heldS or ice in the course?
=. Why did the White Star line
announce the safety of all pas
SengerS last Monday, and that the
vessel was being towed to Hall
FAX, when n vessel OF its own
line had received earlier I'm the
DAY absolute information that the
Titanic had sunk?
3. Why were the details of the
disaster bottled up" while the
Carpathia was coming to New
York?
From the members OF the crew the
cure confirmation Of the statements
made In New York by James Thomp-
son, fireman OF the Titanic:
That nearly top speed was
maintained from the beginning 20
the end OF the Titanic's fatal
course.
That she was speeding uni
formly as close TO seventy-seven
revolutions as could be.
That she was racing almost ut
the utmost capacity of her EN-
Sines when she ripped on her
plates on the iceberg.
Approximately a hundred witnesses
are already in sight. Thirty-seven
members of the crew and one officer
saved from the Titanic arrived Sun
day night.
Subpoenaes have been issued for
twenty-five passengers.
Arrangements have been made for
the voluntary appearance Of many
more.
1t is not desired to use force or
manifest haste until such a course
becomes necessary.
J. Bruce Ismay. managing director
of the line, Will not be permitted to
leave the United States for sometime

he would again be placed on the
