The Primary Cure All.
Gewiston SunO

(Lewiston SUM-
The unusually light vote at the Mas
sachusetts primaries illustrates again
the humbug of the primary election
theory.
The theory is that the blessed peo-
pie, as distinguished from the cursed
political schemeFs, would jump at the
opportunity to just come out and look
over all the statesman timber in their
respective parties and sort and sift
till they lit on the hitherto undiscov-
cred statesman devoted to the people.
That's the theory. The practice is
that the people take little interest in
the primary and what interest they
do take is to get out as they have
been solicited to, to vote for one of the
candidates who has been scheming for
it with the same high standard of self
denying patriotism that that same
kind of patriots had hitherto put into
securing majority at the State con-
vention.
Not one ounce of the avoirdupois of
money and friends in politics can be
shown to have been neutralized by
this direct primary quack medicine.
It is more likely that the primary
elections will give greater opportuni-
ty to the use of money and friends as
against fitness and sound policy.

"Preparation" for War.

AS we have tolerated, even encour-
aged and participated in. traffic in in
toxicating poisons and habit-forming
drugs, so we have worshiped brute
force and have, parrot-like, repeated
the false doctrine of war prepara-
ton" Now the god of war has been
revealed in all the hideousness Of
modern preparation" Prepared for
war, it required only the match of in
discretion ,springing from national
greed, to get a continent ablaze. In a
flash, almost, rivers were running
blood and the hills strewn with hu-
man bodies.
Bystanders suffer when participants
engage in hostilities. No conflict can
be confined to those who take part,
and those nearest in proximity as
well as in relationship suffer most.
If lasting peace is to come it must
be after the blood lust is satiated and
common humanity has recognized and
admitted the crime of war and the
folly of preparation. Many a man
mas been saved from the crime of
murder by the absence of arms.
AS leader in the march of progress,
America should make felt her disap-
prevail of savagery as means oil set

The Horror of IL.

How much longer can the human
conscience stand the horrible carnage
now going on in Europe without re-
voting against it? Already the estl-
mates of the losses in the battle on
the Aisne range from 10000 upward.
Such items as the censorship--in this
respect a regrettable instrument OF
suppression-pas for publication.
hint at a slaughter of unequalled mag
nitude. of wounded lying uncared for
by the tens of thousands, of rivers
gorged with dead, of beautiful coun-
try ravaged by the fire of friend ana
foe alike. Not since their retreat
from Belgium began have the French
dared to give out a casualty list, Whhe
the British have ceased to give any to-
tai of losses since the campaign
changed in favor of the Allies. We
only know that the losses are far
greater than on the Marine, far great
er for the Allies than during their de-
ffensive campaign. Now they are hurl-
ing troops against breastworks de-
Tended by artillery, which, the Allies
confess. is beyond anything in its
destructiveness.
Perhaps 1t is because of the censor
ship that the unlocking world is not IN
greater revolt against the brutal,
wicked indefensible savagery of It all.
The world shuddered over San Fran
cisco, Messina, st. Pierre; it thrilled
to the horror and the heroism in the
loss of the Titanic. Somehow or other
it fails, whether through numbness or
inability, to articulate the anguish 1t
must feel, to react to the magnitude
of the destruction of human life now
going on in Europe. If we could see
and hear the truth of it all, just as 1t
is; il we could realize in some meas
ure the suffering of the non combat
ants alone, the public opinion of the
rest of the civilized world would, we
believe, compel the grounding of arms
before, as seems likely today, 1t Is
brought about by the exhaustion of
the belligerent nations. Europe has
gone back to barbarism on a larger
scale than at any similar epoch in its
history since the Thirty Years War.
It is a frightful indictment of Chris
tianity that this war could ever have
begun: it is a still greater indictment
that it can continue save in a storm of
outraged proteSt'-1NeW 1olk Evening
Post
All true but the suggestion that the
world can help itself, however much
It may revolt. The only way that
peace can be obtained from nations
aroused to such madness and brutality
is to fight for it and then to out do
them all in carnage. Exhaustion of
Europe seems the only end.

Victims of Carelessness.

DIR. Charles Pabst, coroner's physi-

q children in tie Borough of Brooklyn
had been burned in this manner be-
tween Sept. a and 21

London, has written her mother (Mrs.
Belmont) at Newport, r. l.. that doc
tors and orderlies from the field are
arriving at the Red Cross hospitals
in London, having had their hands
chopped off by German troops The
Duchess also declares that one Red
Cross nurse came to the hospital with
the tendons of her hands severed by
Germans to prevent her giving help to
the wounded of the allies.
Should such charges be proven true
when the facts are established, the
world would agree that Germany rich

True Politeness.

A gentleman was descending the

in Toronto when his feet went from
under him and he slid in a sitting
posture.
He had not gone more than a few
feet in this position when his legs
came in contact with lady who was
crossing the street, causing her to sit
down hurriedly on him. They pro-
ceeded thus together at an increasing
speed and shot out onto the square
below, when the gentleman, coming
to rest, said:

Good for Senator Burton

But bad for those Democratic senators
so eager for the pork barrel at this
time when the revenue from imports has
been so sharply reduced by the war.
The Wilson administration has not yet
made the most of the opportunity to do
the country a great service by reducing
expenditure. The new tax bill to raise
a hundred millions is warranted but a
cutting off of waste to the extent of
fifty millions would be an equal benefit.
When the only power of the Democrat
lie party was to criticize, it made pretty
talk about economy Now, when it has
the power over the spending, 1t is eco
nomical only when hard-fighting Re-

A tt&ic deep OF emerald green
With bands of darker fir,
A Roman sash of red and gold
She wears encircling her.
With basque of autumn sunshine,
All trimmed with Qleen Anne's lace
What charming combination
For Names most lovely face!
Her dainty shoes are bronzing ferns
With buckles tourmaline;
Her Stlken hose are woven
FROM tho rivers silver sheen;
Her tongues of deepest azure tint
Thrust through with clouds of white
Oh, none but Madame Maine could veal
A color scheme so bright
Add a cape of purple shadows,
A veil of misty morn,
For these most bewitching garments
DO my Lady Fair adorn.
And ali about on myriad hills
The gorgeous foliage grows
From deepest gold and crimson
To the pale pink of the rose.
All, this the browning touch OF all
You lose your heart for aye,
For these she wears upon her breast
In one immense bouquet.
