The primary election was pertinent ly important yesterday from one standpoint-the vote of the Republi- cans. In this vote there developed a weight sufficient in the manner in which it was used to throw elections from their rightlul course. It proved hammer almost as great if not ful- ly as weighty as the old political boss" eliminated by the primary and for which the primary is intended. Also the vote showed clearly the one weakness of the Arizona state pri- mary lava weakness which will in all probability. be corrected by the next legislative body since 1t is shown 60 pertinenuy in this bailoting.
 From the indications of the re- turns up to a late hour last evening the Republican vote in the state pri- mary was used almost universally to defeat one man in te primary election, placing a man on te ballot whom Re publicans and Bull Moose figure they can defeat at the general election in November. One of the most perti- nent examples of this fact is seen in the Warren district. There are gen. erally reported to be some 800 Repub- lican votes in the section. Yesterday there were registered on ballots, 13O Republican votes This is twelve and one half percent of the vote total. There were over fifty percent of the registered votes cast at the polls, leav ing some forty percent of the Repub- lican vote which either did not vote or which marked the democratic ticket at the polls.
 It is very unreasonable to presume that the Republicans voted in less percentage than did the democrats It is therefore. hardly possible that only twelve percent of the registered republicans voted By the process oi elimination. by the process of reason and by a casual glance at the out come at the polls in several of the i'm portant offices. it is only possible tc decide that the republicans cast theii votes for one purpose, and with the democrats.
 At the same time it was fully shown at the polls that the old boss system has elapsed to a great extent. There was freer expression of the people in their choices, and there was more Of peoples ballot voted from the opening of the first sheet of paper t6 the closing of the last in the counted ballot box. The only departure iron the regular ballots was when republi cans voted. when the balance of tho peoples" vote was thrown out anC the voice of the hammer was heard on the anvil of politics
 As a democratic success, with tho aid of the republicans, there is nc gainsaying the election. However there is small amount of doubt iI the outcome of the general eleetiol when that same republican aid i

A Resident Known to all Our Readers
 Relates an Experiepce.

Readers of The News have been told again and again of the merits of that re. liable, time-proved kidney remedy Doan's Kidney Pills. The experiences told are not those of unknown persons, living far away. The cases are Canaan cases, told by Canaan people.
 James O. Snyder, Canaan, Conn. says "Doan's Kidney Pills proved very satis. factory in my case. My kidneys were disordered and I often had difficulty in passing the kidney secretions. When the trouble was at it's worst, my back ached intensely and after I stopped, it was hard for me to straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally brought to my attention and I procured a supply. In a short time after beginning to use them, l got relief. Doan's Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory that take pleasure in recommending them to other kidney sufferers"

Perpetual Silence.

A curious mourning custom obtains among central Australians. who. all though representing perhaps the low est and most degraded type of human beings. have managed to evolve a most complex system of rites and ceremonies which governs almost every action of their lives. When a husband dies the widow paints herself all over with white pigment and for the space of a year must not exhibit herself to a male member of the tribe on pain of death. For the rest of.her life, unless she mar ries again, which is sometimes allowed, she must not speak, but communicate with the other women by means of d sign language, consisting of move ments of the hands and fingers. which has been developed by these savages to a marvellous extent and by which their limited stock of ideas can be fully ex- pressed

Poetic Heredity,

Of poetic families, the ColerIuges. like the Tennysons. are hard to beat. The author of "ChristobeI' had a daughter and two sons-all poets. The first, Sara. wrote lyrics which, ac- cording to Dr. Garnett, entitle her ito rank high among English poetesses." :" The eldest son, Hartley, in the same critics opinion, was a sonneteer among the most perfect in the lan- guage." Derwent, the other son, wrote some very beautiful verses in Knights Quarterly Magazine of 1922 and else where. Derwent's son, MT. Ernest Hartley Coleridge, is the author of a volume of poems. The Hon. Stephen Coleridge has several volumes to his credit as a poet, and everybody who is a verse lover knows of the late Mary E. Coleridge, whose beautiful gift ap- peared through volume of poems in 1907. And there is an E. P. Coleridge, who has rescued certain translations of the classics from ridicule.-London Chronicle.
