The Camera in War.


Reporting wars with cameras is like
hunting big game with Photographic
outfit. 1t gives us something we never
had before.
If Gettysburg we're fought today the
camera would be on Cemetery ridge.
Perhaps the talking machine would
also be on hand to reproduce for the
world "the terrible grumble and rum
BILE and roar" of a battle.
There would be moving picture
worth looking at-f1lms Keeling off
Pickett's charge and the talking ma
chine records unrolling the crackle
Of 10000 rifles!
wonder If our Victor friends could
reproduce a sound as great as the
combined roar Of Lees and Meade's
300 and more cannon?
But even with the daring scouts
high in air taking photographs of the
enemy's positions, and with cameras
and monographs reproducing battles
for Preside consumption, war finally
comes down to the same old game

INDIFFERENCE OF VOTERS

While Montana is approaching her
first general primary election, other
states that have had the system long.
er are beginning to doubt whether the
new system is much improvement
over the old. 1t hasn't been working
up to the first promises because of the
Indifference or preOccupation of the
many voters whose absence has prac.
tically turned things over again to
men who make a business of politics.
"a great many people," says the In.
dianapolis News, "once thought that
the direct primary would solve the
whole problem. The futility of this
expectation has become so clear, how
ever, that many of the direct pri.
mary's most ardent advocates have
given it up. and it's support now comes
from those who are so enamored Of
their schemes that they cannot rea-
lie the effect of them. In the mean.
time the political bosses have accept.
ed the direct primary and made the
most of it-and that most is a good
deal to their profit. There is every
indication now that the legislation
during the next few years will be
away from rather than toward. direct
primaries"
This last prediction may be over
done, yet the fact remains that the
primary system must fail of its pur.
pose unless practically all of the vot.
ers take part in it. At its beginning
the Indifference isn't likely to be so
marked; the novelty of the thing
arouses interest in it. But at the gen.
eral election the vote has consistently
been far below the registration. and
for the contests within the party
there is probability that the individual
will assume even less responsibility,
feeling that anybody will do who suits
the rest of the party. When any large
proportion of the electors takes such
stand, the round trip is finished and
they get off right where they got on.
The Hartford Courant declares: ut
must be conceded that it is as easy
for politicians to control open pri.
maries as it is for them to manipulate
ward %caucuses, If a majority of the
voters remain Indifferent, and they
appear to be as Indifferent to direct
primaries as they have generally been
