THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

M. f. Lewis's dissection of the Ida
no primary election law, printed In
The Index last week, was courageous
and timely. He minces no words in
pointing out it's weaknesses. The
remedial suggestions he offers are
sound, SO far as they go.
The primary law, as Mr.. Lewis
points out, had its conception in the
idea of "let the people rule" let them
nominate their own officers. But there
is no diguising the fact that it doesn't
bring the answer. In all portions of
the state there is general dissatis-
faction with the results. This comes
not 10 much from so-called politicians,
but from the voters themselves. Nor
is this condition confined to Idaho. In
every state where the primary plan is
used there is complaint. Perhaps,
sometime in the future, wise man
may draft a law that will accom-
plish the desired results-that will be
an improvement over the old conven
ton system-but that time is not
here yet.
Mr.. Lewis suggests that the law
be changed to apply to counties only,
returning to the convention system
in state and congressional nomina-
tons. What's the use? Aside from
the fact that the character of the
aspirants for county Office would be
better known than would the candi-
dates for state office, the county unit
has no advantages over the state
unit. With that one exception the
objections apply to both. The expense
would not be materially reduced; the
practice of minority parties nominal
ing weak candidates on opposition
party tickets would not be eliminated.
In short, the weaknesses of the law
are as apparent insofar as they re-
late to county nominations as they
are to state nominations. The law
is humbug as it is and should be
repealed.

THE BOYS WHO NEVER WORK

We can only wonder at the silly
way in which some men waste. theii
lives.
In Boise few days ago, man
forged checks to the amount of sew
eral thousand dollars. He made his
escape, it is true, but the chances are
better than ten to one that he will
be caught and punished.
The end of his folly will be years
and years of hard work, hard living,
lonesomeness and heart breaking mo-
notony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live
by his wits, to get money without
working for it, is foreordained to
failure. And yet there are always
men starting on that road
In general they are men who failed
in youth to learn the lesson of in
dustry. They got the idea that the
end of life was to get on with as lit
tie effort as possible. The boys who
are spared all work by indulgent par
ents, who expect everything to be
done for them and to do nothing for
anybody else, are on the wrong road.
They are getting the demoralizing
ideas that are responsible for such
wrecks as come to the criminal
court in every community in the land

other man in this country There
sure has been some wonderful cures
from drinkin' the waters of this here
spring. said old Jason. One Teller
came down here who had his right leg
bit off by bear. In six months, by
drinkin' and bathin' the stump of the
leg in the waters of this spring he
growed on as fine new leg as you
ever see. Another Teller come here
bald as billiard ball. He drunk these
here waters and washed his bald pate
three times a day. A year after that
he was with show maxim big wages
takin' the part of the wild, hairy man
from the Feegee islands. His hair
was three feet long at that date and
still a-growin'. A woman come here
whose husband had been in the habit
of lickin' her once day. She said
that it was gittin' trife monotonous
to her and so she thought she would
try the waters of this spring. After
drinkin' the waters regular for three
months she went home, licked the old
man to fare-you-well and then
chased him down the road a quarter
of mile. Since then she makes him
do all the work round the house and
dance jig every evening for her
amusement. She says that it is the
first time she really has enjoyed life
since she was married. The old man
has tried three or four times to run
away and come to this spring, but she
has caught him every time and now
she ties him up every night at the
same time she ties up the dog.'n

WE CAN MAKE IT A GOOD YEAR.

Will 1915 be a good year?
1t will be just as good a year as
we will let it be. All the posslbili-
ties of a great year are present. There
is plenty of raw material ready to be
worked up into a splendid finished
product Of year. 1t all depends on
us, individually. We can make it a
wonderful year if we will. Or we can
let it be commonplace year.
Win Goethe was told that certain
situation must be so because it al
ways had been so, he replied: "But is
it so? Is it so for ME?"
Yes, 1915 will be great year,
jim-d dandy year, if we only turn in
and make 1t SO.

Christmas eve. He was in great
hurry and we asked him what was
the matter. He had to get home and
hustle the kids to bed and then fix up
the Christmas tree, for Santa Claus
and his reindeer had been the all
absorbing topic in that house for a
week. His eyes shone with happiness
and the glow of peace on earth, good
will to men was on his face. In the
early morning hours when the house
rang with those childish shouts of
glee we can imagine his contentment.
The coming of Santa Claus made him
stronger and better. He will be more
tender to the weak and his faith in
humanity is on more solid foun-
dation.

Some Christmas, Musings

We overheard two little shavers
talking the day before Christmas and
one of them said to the other, II am
! going to get what | want for Christ
ia Claus and asked him for it," His
eyes sparkled with the faith that
knows no shaking and his face glowed
with happiness that came from the
very bottom of his childish soul. How
the fond memories Of the golden
morning hours came back to us, and
to others who looked upon the little
fellows and heard their happy voices.
Santa Claus got that letter, undoubr-
eddy, and did not fail him.
The most lonesome person we have
seen in many a day we ran across
on Christmas eve. The Christmas fes-
tivities didn't appeal to him. He had
taken no pains to buy any kind of
present for anybody. Such had been
his practice for years and of course
on this occasion nobody remembered
him. "This Christmas business" he
said, "is all foolishness. There is
nothing in it. People just think it
makes them happy to give away a lot
of junk. None of it for me-" Par
ents with presents under their arms
were passing him every second;
bright-faced children on
their way to the church Christmas
tree brushed by him, but he saw
nothing in it. The stores were bril-
liantly lighted and the display win
dows told the gladstone story of the
happy Yuletide season, but this man
was blind to it all. What a lone
some spectacle he was as he faded
away in the distance. There isn't
much hope for the fellow whose soul
amt strike one faint note of Christ
mas time. We care not what creed
lie subscribes to nor how often he
warns his pew in church, his soul is
worse than sounding brass and for
lin crown would be torture and the {
iilvery voices of the new Jerusalem !

THEY'RE ALREADY HITTING BELOW THE BELT
IN COLORADO TO FORCE ANOTHER WAR

Copyright, 1914, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
The affairs of Colorado have left
the front pages of our newspapers for
a time, but the American people
must not lose sight of the fact that
the question of civil war or peace
has not yet been settled. The fight
ing has stopped, but it is only an
armed truce. 1t cannot be>expected
to continue forever. What is to be
done about it?
So far the strikers have respected
the uniform and the flag of the
United States, and this in spite of the
fact that they have been treated far
from fairly. talked with a lawyer
who had handled the affairs of the
United Mine Workers in the strike
district, and he told me of the diff
Guilty that he had had in getting per-
mission for the strikers to rebuild the
tent colony at Ludlow. He had to
telegraph several times to Washing
ton.
A little while later the Trinidad
Free Press, the miners paper, pub
lished the statement tdat the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company's gun
men were hiding their arms. In re-
ply to that the federal officer in COM
mand served notice on the editor of
the paper that he must print re-
traction. 1 have myself seen the doc
ument which the officer wrote out in
his own handwriting-an abiect and
humiliating apology. Unless this was
published the paper would be sup
pressed.
The lawyer advised the editor to
defy this order, and he personally de-
fed the officer to carry out his threat,
with the result that the officer backed
down.
These things do not produce a
favorable impression with the strik-
ers.
