RESPONSIBILITY

The old convention system, marked
as it was by glaring defects and sus.
ceptible as it was to grave abuse by
the unscupulous politician, was yet
in one vital particular superior to the
present most unsatisfactory primary
law
Under the old system, one of the
great political parties was always di-
rectly responsible for the personnel OF
every ticket put into the field If a
candidate for office proved to be bad
choice, the party at whose convention
he was nominated could be and often
was held to account.
AS q matter of fact the sort of men
who received nominations at conven-
tions were likely TO be pretty high
grade men, They were generally the
thinking, forceful, executive men of
their communities They were the men
who were not fighting tooth and nail
to get job just for the sake of the
salary. They were usually persons of
weight, individuality, Importance, sob
er sense, and vision. Some of the
finest men who ever came into the pub
lie life of the state of Idaho. were men
who were nominated by the convention
system. All of the parties tried hard
to put up the very best material in or
der to win, and it became at once a
of F.,
ties to be represented by the kind of
men that could get a following among
the people and that the people would
look up to-
1t is Just the reverse now. Nobody
is responsible for the personnel of
ticket except the people in general, and
you can not fix responsibility with any
degree of success on all of the people.
Anybody in the world can get on
primary ticket nowadays, and the tic
ket as finally evolved is not the work
of any party. No organization, no
representatives of the people are re-
sponsible for it.
The present practice is most incon-
sistent. We have taken from the po
litical parties all their power in NOM
mating a ticket, and yet we force
them to give their name to any scrub
candidate that happens to ask for that |
protection and influence, and when the |
candidate turns out to be bad egg, |
we ask the political party that never
selected him and that perhaps opposed
him from the start to take the blame
for all his faults and defects.
1t is unfair to hold any political par
ty responsible for any person nomina-
ted under the present direct primary
law. If there is somebody on ticket
hat you disapprove of, put the blame
where it belongs, on the people, on
Yourself and not on the party. The
party had nothing to do with any
lame.

SAFETY FIRST

In its educational campaign the
Safety First society of New York has
issued placard which it would do well
for every motorist to take to heart
The motto is Carefulness first means
Safety always. The directions on the
card are to be considerate; to go slow
passing children, vehicles, corners,
and crossings; to stop at railroad
crossings; and to use tire chains on
wet and slippery pavements. The
final admonition is the familiar Bet
ter be safe than sorry" These few

MUCH BADNESS, SOME GOODNESS.

To Villa, the Mexican terror, was
put this question by a friend at Juarez
one day early in the game when things
looked dark for his side why don't
you quit ?" Villa pointed across Rio
Grande to FL Paso, saying when |
see El Pasc with its fine buildings and
clean homes and its clean, we'll clothed,
gentle children and women and then
look at Juarez, with its dode houses,
its muddy streets, its rotten schools
and its poor ragged children and women
it makes me mad. Our women and
children have as good right to fine
things as those of the United States,
and it, the fault Of Mexican men that
they haven't got them. We've let a
few people get everything, and we've
got to get it back again.
Villa doesn't drink or smoke. 1t is
an old story that he first began life
as a badit by killing a mounted police
man who outraged his sister, and that
mysterious American girl has been
his consort for years. Villa is a bad
man as far as the customs Of ciyilza-
ton 20. There can be no doubt Of it.
But he is a strong, controlling man.
When he is bad, he's merciless. Villa
is killer He has taken the lives of
men, many of them in cold blood.
"Kill' IS Villas solution of most diff
fculties. He come through hundreds
of close calls unscathed simply because
he has always been able to get his gun
out first

Essmann, it is reported, denies the
charge and asserts that his arrest IS
the result of a political feud Of recent
standing. He charges that Governor
McGovern with whom Essmann says
he was formerly very friendly, virtu-
ally being his manager in the last
campaign, has threatened to get"
him and that the arrest is part Of the
plot. Time should reveal all facts.

TIE oFFIcE.HoLpINc ARMY.

Public spirited citizens and some ably
edited newspapers that were enthusi-
astic supporters Of ciyil service reform
a few years ago and advocated the in
clusion Of practically every public SER
want in the civil service ranks are be-
ginning to revise their first impressions
Of the subject. They now fear that an
army Of public employees protected in
their right TO hold Office by the law of
the land may become too powerful for
the safety of the rest of the people,
and that municipalities, states and the
country itself as a whole may yet fall
into supine condition governed by
their own servants just as Jauizaries
once controlled the Sultan's govern
ment and Roman soldiers made and un-
made Emperors
Civil service rules are admirable in
theory but they seem to give the mem
bers of an ofice-holding caste too much
power, which they inevitably use to
improve their own conditions and to
improve their wishes upon the masses
of the pcp9le.

THE STRUGGLE AT WASHINGTON

If President Wilson carries his point
in the pending struggle with Clark and
Underwood and O'Gornan opposing
him, he win be very likely to have
smooth sailing to the end OF his term.
If he fails, the concluding portion Of
his administration will offer a sharp
contrast to the briliancy Of the part he
played during his opening year.

Union Soldiers Denied Citizenship.

Isn't it an outrage that any man who
has been resident of this country for
half century or more, and during all
that time supposed himself to be citi-
zen. and who served as a soldier in the
army of the Union during the Civil
War, should now be denied the right to
vote, because of recent legislation af-
fecting the naturalization of aliens :?
The Milwaukee Sentinel contains the
following account Of case involving
harsh insistence on technicalitles to the
disadvantage of an individual deserving
well Of the state
A family came to Wisconsin from
Scotland early N the fifties. The ia
Their lost no time in taking out full citi-
zenship papers, had voted and served
on the grand jury before 1861, when
one Of his sons enlisted in one Of Wis
consins best lighting regiments and
served nearly four years. Ever since
the war, considering himself clothed
with the power Of citizenship, that sold
Ter son has voted and upon several oc-
casions held office. Not long ago,
when he went to register and answered
the question, where were you born? F"
with Scotland he was asked for
his citizenship papers. He had none.
He knew his father was citizen.
He remembered when he had walked
twenty miles to the county seat to
be ue a citizen he knew he had
served on the jury He was then asked
for his fathers papers. He hadn't
them Both parents and most OF the
family were dead. He eouldn' procure
the papers. He couldn't register; he
can not vote,
The proposition that any man who
served in the Union army during the
Civil war and can show evidence of hon
orable discharge shall be entitled to
every right and privilege Of American
citizenship is so evidently founded in
justice and fair-dealing that no one can
dispute It. Here is a matter that leg
islator5, state and national should at
tend to without delay.
