Editor of the Herald
| have been asked by several as to
the full meaning of the resolution
relating to the choice of candidates
by direct primary system, upon
which votes will be taken at the next
town meeting to be held on March
3rd, 1914.
There are interpretations calling
for rhe votes of citizens. The first,
appearing on page 649.o the Session
Laws of 1912, is the preferential
primary"
If you vote yes on this, you vote
Opt to do away with the present con-
vention system but to indicate your
choice of candidates for office by
secret or open ballot, at a meeting
to be called in each town prior to the
convention which dominates the
candidates, at which meeting voters
will vote for the candidates they
prefer and elect delegates and in
itruct them To vote at the coming
convention for the candidates chosen.
By the direct primary system, you
make an absolute and unqualified
choice of your candidates in the
several towns at the voting places so

a convention at Montpelier or some
other large town to choose candidates
OF your party for Congress, U. S.
Senator, Governor ETC., you vote for
the candidates direct at your various
polling places. The votes from all
over the State are counted later on:
and the candidate having the largest
number of votes is the one chosen to
represent his party for such office.
The direct primary would practic.
ally do away with the conventions to
nominate candidates
The preferential primary simply
indicates a preference to be acted
upon by a convention later on.

basis for future action by a special

The advantages of direct primary
are that the voter in secret, without
any extraneous influence chooses his
candidates for office within his own

THE ART OF SELLING.
Real salesmanship Is a Light That

The boss wants lockers. because he
knows the locker of today is the buyer
Of tomorrow and he wants to make
the lockers feel that his store is ''the
best place to trade" which is only an
other way of saying that it is the best
place to do ones looking. He also
knows that the locker of today can
sometimes be converted into a buyer
before the day is over. All he requires
TO accomplish what he desires is sales
manship among his salespeople.
Does he get it? Not from all of
them. If he did there would be less
need for commissions to inquire labo-
riously into the relation between shop
girls wages and shopgirls' chastity.
for real craftsmanship will get the
money wherever it is practiced and by
whomsoever it is practiced. Real sales
manship is one light that can't be hid
den under a bushel. It's a light that
can't be obscured. It's a light that
will shine above department heads and
hoorwalkers and reach clear up to ''the
old man. in his private Office, If you
keep it burning long enough.
What is salesmanship? No one quite
knows, But if you will take care OF
the lockers, if you will make all the
lockers pleasantly remember what yor

important branch of retail salesman

 L&at sumner there was in Seattle real pioneer of Alaska beside whom all "sorr- dovgh>' and old-timers of the goli trails, Fl adventurers of the sealing fleet, and even the Indian fighters, are youngsters. He is 2 man who has spent long lifetime in Alaska, who as a boy of 13 saw the Stars and Stripes raised at Sitka, the Russian capital, and who took an active part in most of the historical events since that time lie is Rev. Sergius George kostro- metinoif, and he was on his way to New York
 Rev Mir kostrometinoff is rector of St. Michael cathedral the pioneer church of Alaska. He has been warden of that church since 1886, but was only ordained priest two years ago, when Archbishop Platon, head of the Russian church in America, sent for him to come to New York and recognized his many years of faithful serv ice in an honorary position.
 This Alaska pioneer has none of the marks of the trail pioneer of fiction. He outdates them all and he resembles them not at all.
 Mr Kostrometinoff is the son of Russian parents, and became citizen of the United States by the American occupation of Alaska. He is broad, stout, white haired and quiet His eyes of bluish gray have the bland friendliness of child's There is great deal of quiet dignity about his black clad figure, his white hair and thin beard, his unhurred speech. Though he has spoken English nearly all of his life and acted for years as 9 government inter preter fer the Indian tribes, there is still trace of Russian accent about his words.
 Unrutfed by the noises of the street and the hotel lobby, speaking slowly and evenly, in the manner of simple friendliness and without preinace. he told of the early days

 St. Michael cathedral, with which MT Kostrometinoff has been connected for SO many years is the pioneer Russian church and mission of Alaska. IL was built in 1918 by Bishop Innocent Neniamenotf. The church is one of the most interesting mu- seums of history in the territory.
 We have many interesting things in the church, said MT. ko>trometinoa. Among them is Madonna for which a New York capitalist offered us $25,0O0. But of course we could not sell it."

 We hear much of the governments neglect of Alaska these days This com plaint is bringing results in greater off cial interest in that territory than has ever before been shown. But compared to this the cause for complaint of Sitka in the days when this white haired priest was a young man and had life and happiness at stake would seem sufficient to embitter man permanently against the distant off cials who paid no heed to call for help from American citizens in peril.
 That Mir kostrometnoif recalls those days of anxiety without passion nor even criticism strengthens my belief in his accu- racy q an historian. His IS the quiet, ap- praising observation which records facts with the splendid tolerance of the ideal re porter.
