FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.

-
That moral delinquency is less pre-
valent among the working girls than
those who remain at home, surround
ed by parental restraints, was shown
in a recent Investigation into vice
conditions. -.
There were 436 Maynard girls ex.
amined, and of this number 1888 said
that they had taken the first down.
ward step while living at home. Only
% had fallen into evil ways while
living in furnished rooms away from
their homes.
What better tribute to the sta5il,
ity of the American working girl be,
set by temptations? It only fixes re-
sponsibility closer to the homes. .
Waywardness depends largely up.
on the home training and business
conditions surrounding the employ
ment of women + too often blamed
for moral delinquency.
Conditions under which girls and
women are working while far from
being ideal and often contributing
to delinquency, the fact should not
be overlooked that the chief respon-
sibility rests with the home train
ing or the lack of it.

Il PRIMARY LAW.

Even the friends of the direct prim.
airy law are realizing that its oper.
alton Is a dismal failure. 1t may be
very beautiful in theory, but that it
b anything but ideal in practice has
been demonstrated so often as to
need no further emphasis here.
In Minnesota the friends OF the
primary, the so-called progressive
wing OF the Republican party, have
turned against it. They were re-
sponstble for placing it upon the stat,
ute books and now they are the frs.
to turn their guns upon the law.
Admitting that the primary law
is not an instrument in the peoples
hands to fight greed, graft and in.
competence, the Minnesota friends of
the system recently held an old style
convention to eliminate ig%ubernator,-
al candidates, so as to concentrate
the opposition against Governor Eb.
'erhart about one candidate.
When the friends Of the primary
sre reelizing its defects, it looks as
though the days of the present sys.
tenn Of primaries were numbered.
1t has failed to accomplish most
Of the things that its friends insisted
would follow the adoption Of a prim.
ary system.
: The only workable and satisfactory
method IS to select delegates to coun.
ty conventions by primaries. By the
time an aspirant for office has pass
ed muster before his precinct organ.
ization up through the county organ
iDation and on to his delegation to
the state convention, he must have
the qualifications that entitle him to
the suffrage Of the voters.
Under the present system, the field
is crowded with candidates and that
voter is fortunate who can discrim-
mate between the various aspirants
for Office.
The convention furnished the sift-
ing process Sc lacking under the
primary law.
II the primary law is to survive. it
must he perfected through some pro-
cess OF elimination SO that minority
nominations are impossible.
