who is an American and believes in
America 365 days in a year, one who

PRESIDENTIAL PRlMARlEs

We must admit that President Viii
son is brave in at least one respect
and that is his position as to presi-
dental primaries. II they had been
in force last year. he would not now
be living in the White House, but one
Theodore Roosevelt or Champ Clark
would have been there Clark would
have beaten Wilson and Roosevelt
would have beaten Taft. One or the
other would have been bossing Con.
gress
Come to think the matter over, he
may not be as brave as appeared upon
first thought. He may imagine he
will be so popular when the time
comes that be can walk over all op-
position. Possibly
Now. let us consider the matter "a
dts practical application. The Eas.
tern Panhandle believes 1t is entitled
to the Republican nomination next
year. Suppose for example the line
up shall be as now indicated, with
SEINE half dozen candidates on the
west side. II will be dead easy for
the eastern man 10 win, because we
folks have a habit of standing togeth-
er. See how easy it will be to win?
o. suppose some man with plenty of
money should organize the District,
induce practically all of the candi-
dates or those from certain portion
to withdraw. He could have
snap. Then would be the time when
money would count. The people
would not be in IT,
Again, in almost every instance
minority man would be the nominee.
The theory Of majority rule would
be dead Possibly that is why Mr.
Wilson fayors the plan He knows
how it is and that if he had to de-
pend upon getting a majority he
would never get there again. That
must be it
But we do not like it. Think of
1t in this Eight. After the nomina.
tions are made. say for Congress,
a convention of candidates for Con.
gress is held. All have formulated
platforms Of their own, which are
the best ever. They carry them
TO the convention and place them
on exhibition. It is a motley crew
but every man will de for his first
born. Then they proceed to formulate
one upon which all can agree. The
democratic convention at Baltimore
last year would be rs summer
zephyr the comparison. No matter
which party The idea would be to
throw all of them into the melting
pot in the hope that by some w'tchery
perfection might be evolved. But
would L? Tie idea is to Utopian

CURRENT COMMENT
SPECULATION AND COLD
STORAGE


OF course when an abnormal situa-
ton from which the public suffers
exists, those who are suspected OF
being responsible for DIT may be ex.
pected to be prepared with some
plausible explanation. These have
not been lacking when a justification
Of the unprecedented prices Of eggs
has been called for. The law of sup
ply and demand is invoked TO account
for them. The hens are moulting and
have been holding up their wares. and
so forth. Everybody knows that there
is an annual period of shortage Ia
strictly fresh eggs, but the surprise
this year has been that it set in so
early and has lasted so long 1t dates
back TO August and IS gradually in
creasing in acuteness. The public is
naturally curious to learn the bot
tom reasons for condltir rs that are
this year so extraordinary. We have
had hints of similar situations In form
er years. but we have now been suf-
feHing from poor eggs and high prices
for a full quarter OF year and the
end is not yet in sight,-Boston Tran
script.

The Democratic parrT came into

Bot he said this would make wages
