FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. n, 1914
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY PLANS
REVISED.

The House Committee on Election
bill and promises to have the measure
ready for consideration in the course
of two or three weeks, but it is notice
able that the weight Of opinion thus
far expressed IS ID favor Of State
primaries rather than nationwide
action. Chairman Rucker has yet to
consult the President and find out
what he meant by his suggestion in
his address at the opening OF Con
gress, but Brother Bryan and former
Governor Folk, of Missouri, who are
supposed to have the confidence Of the
President, have expressed their pref
erence in favor of recognizing the
State as the unit in primary action
and have voiced their fears of the
complications attending a national
pIebiscite. There Is little likelihood
that the President Will disagree with
them.
But when the presidential primary
plan has been reduced to the basis of
State action, the House committee il
quite likely to find that what is left Of
it il not worth making a fight over,
with the necessity of overcoming the
prejudices OF the Southern section Of
their party against Federal interfer-
ence with State control of the cleo
toral processes. The establishment
of the presidential preference primary
liz fully within the power OF any State,
without further action by Congress
and the idea has been spreading with
such rapidity that 1t Is not unlikely that
by the next Presidential campaign a.
majority of the States will voice their
choice OF candidates in this way. It
is doubtful if Congress can accomplish
more without radical amendment of
the Constitution, and even the ad-
vocates of more direct action should
recognize the eXpediency of accepting
the radical course Of reform, rather
than attempting a she rt cut where
opposition is certain.-Philadelp

FOOD PRICES DECLINING.

There can be no doubt that there is
in progress a general recession from
high prices except in the case Of
fresh meat and coal. A number OF
influential newspapers and journals
have been commenting On the de-
crease in price of many of the neces-
stiles OF life. Says the Philadelphia
Record:
TT is a favorite contention Of Re
publican orators, especially those OF
the broad mental grasp Of Senator
Penrose, to claim that the Democratic
reductions in the duties on articles OF
food have accomplished nothing, and
that prices are as high, if not higher,
now than heretofore. This is not
true; but even if il were it would be
NO argument against the justice of
the Underwood tariff in placing many
articles ON the free list. Obviously
without the supplies OF free meat
from Argentina and Australia prices
would now be higher than they are,
and in this way the consumer has
been benefited. Happily for the Dem
ocratic contention, it Is borne out by
the latest Bradstreet report The
Bradstreet index number-obtained
by adding the wholesale prices a
pound for 90 articles-works out as
S.S619 for February L. This il the
lowest index number reported since
October, 1911. 1T is 60 per cent
under the index for February ! 1919.
The number Is higher than that for
February !, 1911, but under
the figures for later periods in
that year. More articles advanced
during the month of January than de-
clined, but the reductions in some
lines were SO marked as to change the
tenor of the whole report. Butter
slumped most noticeably. Eggs and
milk also were considerably lower.
while part of the decrease In these
commodities may be explained BY an
increased production, due possibly to
the approach Of the spring season, il
is probable that the importation OF
butter under the new tariff had q
great deal to do with the price of this
important article of food. The de-
crease from January / to February
/ this year was only about two-tenths
of / per cent. but a decrease is de-
crease, and conditions are much more
favorable now than they were a year
ago. During the year ending Febru-
airy 1 decreases have been reported ID
many important lines Of food"
The Hudson IN. ~ Observer makes
note or these facts:
steel is now So ton cheaper rhan
1T was last May; brick IL SLIPS cheaper

twenty-five cents a barrel cheaper
sheath piling Is two cents a square

The Anomalous Mexican.

In the opening paragraph of one Of
his best stories Kipling wrote: Let
it be clearly understood that the Rus
sian is delightful person till he
tucks his shirt in. AS an oriental he
is charming. 1t is only when he in
sists upon being treated as the most
easterly of western peoples, instead
of the most westerly of easterns that
he becomes a radical anomaly ex-
tremely difficult to handle. The host
never knows which side of his. nature
is going to turn up next" There is a
somewhat similar difficulty with the
Mexican. He can be charming, but
one never knows whether he Is the
most northern southerner or the most
southern northerner, and he can
change from one to the other with a
facility that is almost genius.

DOING AWAY WITH TETANUS
Disease That Has Been Considered
SO Deadly Really Will Readily
Yield to Treatment.

The loss of life from tetanus, 1t
should be emphasized, is almost en-
tirely preventable. Injection of anti
toxin Immediately after the injury Is
received, together with relentless sur
gical cleansing of the wound under
anesthesia, constitutes insurance
against tetanus in virtually every case.
The few recorded cases in which anti
toxin has failed to prevent tetanus
have been attributable usually to To-
cal infection when kept the tetanus
bacillus alive until the antitoxin was
eliminated or destroyed.
Hence thorough cleansing of the in
jured part should not be neglected. If
the patient Is not seen until the wound
is several days old, antitoXin should be
given in large doses intravenously, or,
If symptoms indicate impending tetan-
us, intraspinally. In any case, prompt
ness and thoroughness are the watch
words. From the Journal of
American Medical Association.
