UNPOPULAR PRIMARY LAW

The results of the primary election
with the small vote cast principally
in the towns and cities indicated that
the present law needs serious change.
In the first place. there must be de-
vised some way to get the voters out
to the primaries by a single registra-
ton FOR both elections and the penalty
Of non-vote in the general election.
In the second place, the second choice
vote should be promptly eliminated
from the law. Another thing which
would appeal to the voters would be
the making of one ballet on which tho
whole county ticket would appear.
The state ticket could more Justly
and fairly be arrived at through the
primary elected delegates to a state
convention. The primary law does
not in any sense prove the poor mans
friend as it is manipulated by the
politicians Of the state.

FUNERAL SIMPLICITY

There is a growth of feeling against
elaborate funerals. Such services as
we're held for the late lamented Mrs
Woodrow Wilson are better express
sive of present day sentiment. Her
conspicuous position and the warn
admiration excited by her sweet and
generous life would have furnished
plenty of excuse for stately formal
ties. But these exercises were re-
strictcd to scripture readings and a
brief prayer. Only three carriages
were allowed to join the last sad
journey to the railway station.
There used to be an element of
competition in funerals. The longest
line OF carriages and the highest
stack of flowers were desired, and
not merely as an expression of grief
1t was an assertion and demonstra-
ton CT the position in the community
occupied by the departed and his
surviving friends.
Many people felt an injustice wa;
done to a deceased unless the trap
pings of woe were elaborate and
costly. A long procession of car
riages was often hired, whether oc-
cupants were in sight or not Some
people will recall the yarn about the

who is the poor soul whom we are

his seatmate. Il only came for the

The social game was often being
played even in this setting of scr
row. The arrangement of the pro-
cession called for keen discrimina-
ton. Influential friends were plac.

were atased by becoming tail-enders

DIRECT PRIMARY ABUSED

The direct primary law for the
nomination of political candidates has
been tried thrice and as many times
has it proven unsatisfactory. The
prime reason for the direct primary
was to do away with bossism and let
the people rule. But the people do
not take as much interest in politics
now as they did in convention days,
and bossism has become more COM
mon and more corrupt, as it can now
be practiced more secretly and less
expensive, rs any ono with a politi-
cal or personal grudge can constitute
himself petty boss and conspirc to
elect the man of his choice, regard
less of party lines or personal honor.
In The recent primary hundreds Of
Democrats voted the Republican tick
ct at the behest of Republican and
Democratic political dsmaaogues, and
now quite a number CT Republicans
are threatening to rctalate at the
general election by voting for GER
tain Democrats, and to some extent
they would be. justified in doing so.
If the direct primary is responsible
for such party ard personal disloy-
atty and treachery, the quicker it is
repealed the better. We believe that
bossism as practiced under the direct
primary is far more pernicious and
expensive than under the convention
plan. But if the people continue to
trust professional politicians and
political job chasers with their poll
teal future it matters little what
plan may be adopted, corrupt politics
will prevail and high taxes flourish.

PRIMARY LAW QUESTIONED

The third primary election in the
history Of Idaho has passed, and the
results emphasize more strongly than
ever, the fact that direct primary
law offers no advantages over the
old convention plan of nominating
candidates and that the expense is,
to say the least, cxorbitant, Lack
OF interest on the part Of voters is
bar to the effectiveness of the pri-
mary law. Seventy-five per cent of
the vote Of Idaho was cast without
any direct knowledge of the capability
or character of any of the state
candidates. In Power county the
cost will be about two dollars for
every vote cast. and more than five
dollars for every taxpayer that casts
vote. Where is the benefit Press.

YOUNG STUDENT WINS FAME
Armenian in California Converts Grape
Sugar Into Tartaric Acid by
New Methods.

San Francisco.-By solving Prob

Vaygouny, an Armenian graduate OF
the University of California, has made
one of the most sought discoveries of
commercial science, and has won for
himself fortune Of 100000. and with
royalties yet to come.
For four years the young scientist
has toiled over alembic and cauldron
in the laboratories of the chemistry
building at the university. There he
accomplished the end he pursued-the
development of a synthetic method OF
converting grape sugar into tartaric
acid. At the time he undertook the
task a prize of $4,000 was standing
for the first chemist who should make
the discovery.
Having performed the remarkable
feat, Vaygouny did not claim the $50.
600 award. Instead, he entered into ne.
gotiatiOns with the manufacturers of a
baking powder. From that concern he
