When four hunters or Iess departed in succession from 0 nearby los cabin. the rock would re- turn to it's nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and re- turned to it's nest even while some were still in the hut.

DIRECT PRIMARIES AND CON
 TESTS.

The charges of robbery, theft and fraud which have split the Republican convention intwo must have impressed on those party leaders who are sincerely devoted to their party that some decisive steps must be taken to prevent the recurrence of such charges in future conventions. The con- tests have gone far to convince the great majority of Republi- cans that the presidential pref crcncc primary under legal sane lion is the best means of avoid ing such contention. but that such a primary without legal sanction is as likely to provoke contests as has been the con- NrntiOn system.
 This is the plain conclusion to bc drawn from the contests themselves. The only contest against national delegates elected at a legally established primary was in California, where the leg islature undertook to set aside the rule of the national commit tee providing for election by dis irictS. No other state which elected delegates at direct presidential primary established by law had contest. Washing ton had direct primary of the x,-hinh Dp,rSInrI Ta nirrhI ly styled a Soap-boX primary. That produced one of the most bittrrly-fOuEht contests.
 When delegates are elected by lion bearing certificate of cleo lion from tue state officers, there iS no room for a contest, unless. as in CalifOI nia, the stale has al tempted in set up a basis of rep rcsrnIatinm different from that prescribed by the national com m lice. Oregon has done ihis. also, but if any delegates not elected on ihr face of the state returns were lhr choice If the congressional district in which they resided. nobody look the pains in enter contests against ih"nI. If direct presidential pri- mari"S are established by law in all inc states. either through the enactment of Congress pr of the several legislatures, the long drawn-0ui hearings before inc national committee and inc struggle in convention over tho report on credentials will br avoided.
 NuuIh"r iilpr"NrmrnI which might well he made at inc same i'm" relates lo tn" lime when national committeeman assume office. If inc rules were SO chang cd that the national rOmmiIlor- man shall hr elected by the new ly-clrricd national delegates within specified lime after inc primary and shall assume office. say. one month before the meet ing of Ihc nalional convention, in" national committee would bc fresh from Inc people. There would then l." no opportunity lO Hin= al ils members inc charge lIIal they were defeated and dis credited bosses, d"voIing inc last days of their tenure IO defeat of ill" party will.
