Could any system be devised

wishes of the people to any
greater extent? | select a man
to select a man to select a man
to do certain piece of work, to
fill a certain position. And every
man in the chain possibly inter
ested party. Itisf democracy,
it is not good business sense, 1t
is not even common horse sense!
We are not making any illusions
or casting any insinuations on the
local branch of this magnificent
institution. 1t is neither better
nor worse than it is anywhere
else under the same system.
Thissconvention system is not
conducive to good government,
even in a section where political
parties are evenly matched and
one party stands always ready to
expose the wickedness of the
other, and in section where,
to all practical purposes, only one
party exists, it can have only one
effort and that is to produce a
ring" and a machine and the
total elimination from politics of
the majority of the citizens, who
have neither the time nor the
ability to go up against the system
and its methods, and who, reallz-
ing that there is hardly any
chance for their wishes to carry
weight anyway, will not take the
trouble to go to the primaries or
to the polls.
A direct primary law, such as
is in use in every State calling it
self progressive along political
lines, means the utter and COM
plete elimination of the ring and
the boss. Old time politics can
not be played under its operation.
Instead of sending delegates to
send delegates to nominate the
servants of the people, the people
themselves nominate directly
those they wish to serve them.
To secure a nomination, a would
be office holder must 60 directly
to the voters of his party instead
of having to make himself solid
with the machine and go under
its domination during his whole
tenure of office.
A direct primary law is simple,
businesslike and not adapted to
fraudulent manipulation, The
people Of this State, as a whole,
we believe, are in favor Of this
law. How do this county's can
didates for the Senate and Leg
islature stand upon this question?
They should pledge themselves,
not only to vote for, but to aid in
the passage of such law at the
next session of the Legislature.

In my memories of the various
places in Europe, visited and revisited
since that first tour of 20 years ago,
comes recollections of a visit to the
House in the Woods. near where now
stands The Hague tribunal. That
much essayed name of arbitration and
disarmament, and a resulting univer-
sal n enduring peace will not be ut
terly lost in a war that staggers the
world from occident to orient. At this
distance, with all the fragmentary de-
tails and vagrant reports, it seems i'm
possible to understand the mystery Of
its origin, but little could Europe I'M
derstand the great fratricidal war of
the United States when brothers of
the same race of kith and kin and
blood tore at Zach others threats with
out even the preteXt Of racial and re-
ligious dissension. While we in Amer
lea are not directly involved in the
hostilities Of Europe, the nations Of
the world have been drawn SO closely
together through the humiliation Of
space and accelerated methods of com
~munication, that what affects he lives
and destinies Of all the nations Of Eu-
rope is Of deep and vital concern to
the people and interests of America.
