JOHNNY BULLS CRITICISM OF
THE OLYMPIC GAMES

The English papers just reaching
this country are much given to moral
lzing upon the effect that the Olympic
games had upon specializing in athlet-
les. They say that after all it is bet
ter to be an all-round. well-developed
athlete than man trained to do one
thing abnormally we'll.
True for you. John; that's just the
KIND OF men we sent over. The critic
ism is apropos the fact that the Eng.
lish representatives were third in the
hst-Uncle Sam and Sweden coming
IN ahead. AS a matter of fact, unless
The Tribune is greatly mistaken, an
American, Thorpe, was awarded the
prize indicating versatility.
This indirect criticism was of a kind
that charged that American athletes
were short-distance men. and lacked

WHAT MAKES A NATION

No better definition of what makes
nation has come under our notice
than that of John Bright, the cele-
brated English statesman and reform
er. who so stoutly advocated the alb
olition of slavery during the Civil War,
although as cotton manufacturer of
England he suffered great financial
loss during the struggle.
The principles of the Republican
party have made the country great and
the body of the people of the United
States enjoy liberty and standard of
living such as do no other people on
the face of the globe. Reforms of far
reaching influence were made during
the administration of Mr.. Taft, and
others are planned for the next term,
should the people place the govern
ment in the hands of the Republican
party again next November.
The words of Mr.. Bright follow:
Il believe there is no permanent
greatness to nation except it be
based upon morality. l do not care
Tor military greatness or military
renown. ! care for the condition of
the people among whom l live.
Crowns, coronets. mitres, military
display, the pomp of war. wide colon
les and huge empire are, in my view,
all trifles. light as air. and not worth
considering. unless with them you
can have fair share of comfort, con-
tentment and happiness among the
great body of the people. Palaces,
baronial castles, great halls. stately
mansions do not make a nation. The
nation in every country dwells in the
cottage; ad unless the light of your
constitution can shine there. unless
the beauty of your legislation and the !
excellence of your craftsmanship are
impressed thereon the feelings and |
condition of the people, rely on it, |

THE SUMMERS
DROWNING ACCIDENTS

One of the most pathetic things
about summer is the tragedy that it
brings into so many homes through
drowning. The enhancing luxury OF
cool water on hot day is something
that few boys can resist. It is
about as hopful to keep them out of
an unlocked preserve closet as to
forbid them the swimming hole.
Parents will bestow anxious care
On having their youngsters fitted with
ball room maners at the dancing
school, when it never occurs to them
to see that they can preserve their
lives in an element whose treachery
they must inevitably some day con-
front.
The moral is, that every boy should
be taught to swim as soon as he gets
old enough to roam away from home.
There ought to be public swimming
schools with good instructors in every
city, and in every country town with
a swimming hole there should be some
man to give lessons and take care of
learners.
The deaths from drowning far ex-
coed those from the. destructive July
4th and foot ball combined, yet COM
paratively how little public attention
they excite.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY

Inc direct primary, IN its present
form. is complete failure. This Is
acknowledged pretty generally. The
New York Times. an independent
newspaper with pronounced Demo-
cratic tendencies, declares that the
Roosevelt primary campaign in ILL
nois, Pennsylvania. Maryland and New
Jersey cost the enormous sum of So
100000. No doubt the Times bases
its estimate upon reliable informa-
ton. The money was advanced by the
Steel and Harvester Trust Magnate
Perkins. Mr.. Munsey of magazine
fame, Mr.. Pinchot, whom we of the
Northwest have reason to remember,
Mr.. Finn and other men of equal
patriotic proclivities. who have worked
overtime in the laudable effort to give
the people chance to rule.
The direct primary seems to be the
most approved progressive" method
employed to allow people to select
their own candidates, free from the
dictation of boss or faint of machine
politics. In actual practice it is found
to enchance instead of lessen these
evils.
According to The Times, in South
Carolina at the primary election a
United States senator expended So
10000 for legitimate purposes and was
defeated, and a.western candidate for
governor spent 100000 in his race
while his opponet, who didn't have the
money spent 100000. These cases
have been duplicated in nearly every
state, to a greater or less degree.
Instead of allowing the people to
select their candidate, the direct prim-
airy in practice is an indirect method of
allowing the machine to work in all
its glory. To be sure, it takes a little
more money; but the machine can al
ways find money. A poor man has
not the least chance when opposed by
a man with large sums of money in
his control.
That the law is an abortion can be
plainly seen from the fact that it al
lows the minority party to name the
nominees of both parties. This is
manifestly unjust.
The law is not for the interest of
the people. not to determine who shall
be elected, but merely to choose the
men who shall run for office-the ex-
pense is borne by the people in the
interest OF ice-seekers. In Canyon
county it cost the people oyer soc
Tor every vote cast-and we alread
have enough taxes.
