SOME OTHER THINGS.

1t may he well To remember, while
we are all excited about the European
war, that there are still some things
of Importance going on in our own
country, says the Pontiac Press Ga
zette. The railroad rate decision of
the interstate commerce commission
granting increased freight rate To GER
tain groups of roads, is one of the
most important actions yet taken by
that body, and may prove an entering
wedge 10 a better understanding both
between the shippers and the railroads,
and between the roads and their en-
ployes.
The postponing of the threatened
great railway strike is another matter
Of very grave Importance, and the
president makes one more score in APP
pealing TO the patriotism. which was
not found wanting. Of the $4,000 rail-
road men concerned. The result sim
pl shows that. while as Americans we
sometimes have sharp differences
among ourselves. we are always unit
ed on any course that involves real
American patriotism.
Another question coming up is that
Of food supplies. Will food be cheap
er or higher? Ordinarily a foreign
war brings up the prices Of almost
everything that Americans have to
sell. But in this instance, while we
have plenty of foodstuff to sell, there
is no certainty of getting transporta-
tion for it, and hence the prices may
declir8 instead of going up.
And this brings up another question.
our present merchant marine is utter
~ inadequate for the demands that
may be made upon it at such time
as this, and one result of the situa-
ton may be the building OF a large
number of American ships, especially
II the war lasts as now seems likely,
for any length Of time.
The new currency bill, which is just
now ready TO go into operation, will
be a great help in dealing with the
situation, both here and in
Europe. Altogether the war may help
American To remember some other
and TO be ready To do them,
which in time OF universal peace we
are always ready to put over to some
more convenient season"

The Primary Law.

Editor of The News:--
The direct primary law needs
amending. The attempt to put more
power in the hands of the people and
take it out of the hands of the poll
ticians has not met with very great
success. The people do not avail them
selves OF the power thus given them.
They will not go to the polls i'm great
numbers i'm n direct primary and vote.
1t is a minority vote that places the
candidate in nomination and we are
no better off than under the caucus
and convention system.
There are reasons why the direct
primary is "A failure. In the first
place the date should be altered. Farm
crs vii not leave their growing fields
To vote. Another great fault is the
inability of the voters to learn the
qualifications and character of the men
they are voting for. Every sincere citi-
zen likes To know something about the
men he is supporting but with bal
lot as long as a telephone pole as we
y.
impossible If there is any one thing
more than another that disgusts
voter with a primary election. it is the
long list of candidates seeking Office.
and the smaller the office, the greater
the number of candidates. We need
shorter election ballot.
Under the caucus system, cand-
date was not required to spend n great
amount of money. If he had, the sup
port of political leaders or the ability
to stand on his own feet and make "a
spell-binding speech, he got the nom
nation Now it takes the salary of
the Office for one or two years, for
campaign expenses. only the rich man
can stand this method and the poor
man has little chance in a statewide
primary.
Another weak spot is the fact that
the primary law forbids a free will
vote for men REGARDLESS of party. It
pins the voter down to party candi-
dates, when his choice may be among
two or more parties. 1t is important
that the voter have the same rights
in the primary that he has in the final
election, and yet no practical method
to secure such rights has been sug-
gested. More and more are the vot-
ers selecting men on their merits, |
rather than because they wear the |
party label
The voter who does not vote at the |
primary, whether it be the big caucus
or convention or by direct ballot. has !
no right to complain of the outcome !
The selection of candidates is an i'm |
portant thing i'm politics and II Is a |
shame that so little interest is taken |
in it.-A Subscriber.

EFFICIENT GERMAN CENSOR.

Some German sympathiZers in the
United States are inclined. apparent
~ to accuse the American press of
unfairness because the war dispatches
are very much one-sided and the
printed news does not reflect the Ger
man view Of such events as have been
reported. This, however, is not the
fault of the American newspapers, de-
clares the Detroit Free Press. They
would gladly print dispatches from
Berlin but they can't get them.
The kaiser's censor is n very difficult
individual To handle. a firm decision
has been reached by the imperial gov
eminent that no information shall get
out about its armies and their move
ments, and none has got out. Where
the British and French are permitting,
and often aiding in the spread of news
favorable to their side. the Germans
are combining correspondents strictly
TO what is given officially and this has
been Of the most meager description.
II is even reported that no contempo-
raneOus record of the war will be al
lowed on the German side, and that
except for one historian and one artist
To each regiment no correspondents
will be tolerated
Those who favor the kaiser in this
war may prohtably. for their own
peace, bear in mind that at such times
as these public opinion is of less inn
portance than the accomplishing of
definite objects, and that il is Of vast
~ less Importance that sympathizers
on this side Of the ocean should be
kept posted about the progress of the
war than that the progress of the
war should be in accordance with orig
inal plans. The essential thing TO the
German tacticians Is To win the decs-
i've battles Of their campaigns, and If
their friends should temporarily be
in not getting news to
keep up spirits over here they can COM
fort themselves that this Is n sign of
excellent discipline at home and that
after all he who laughs last laughs
best.
If the event should prove the Ger
man policy right and the German ar
mics should be victorious the ultimate
joy Of American Germans will sub
merge temporary irritation over the
forced silence Of the American papers
Whether this will be the ultimate re-
suit OF the war, OF course, we do not
know, but we do know that the Ger
man censorship is a thing Of marvel
Ius perfection and that the best efforts
If the best news gatherers i'm the /
world have been unsuccessful in |
breaking through its defences.

On Tuesday afternoon. Nov 18th,
at her pretty home on the Yves, road,

bags must be in evidence and very
profitable hour and half were spent
in the clicking Of needles and
"elacking Of tongues At o'clock
halt was called and the hostess
ushered the guests into the dining
room TO partake of the hountiful and
attractive repast spread" for their
benefit. "A pink tea" all cried, as
they gazed at the silver candelabra
with its, six pretty pink candles, the
six dainty cakes with their accom-
panying pink rosebud holders and
lights and at the six pink and white
cups from which cocoa would be
slipped, not forgetting the luscious
sandwiches and other dainties provid-
ed, and when all had sat down and
congratulation were in order silence
reigned for just fraction of a mo-
meht because of the feeling that that
mysterious six meant to somebody's
age, which after a certain number of
years etiquette forbids one either to
discuss or mention let alone look it.
So it left one guessing as to whether
those two honored guests would ans

feast, the witty sayings and repartee
of hostess and guests, all too soon
