The tipping system is very strong
in Henrici's. Many patrons complain
that if they do not tip they do not
get good service.
That is scarcely the fault of the
waitress. She is paid starvation
wage and must depend on tips to get
enough to keep her alive.
But the public doesn't seem to rea-
lie that they are paying large share
of the girls wages, thus putting
money into Henrici's pocket, which is
very nice of the public.
Henrici's are not fighting or
ganization because they are convinc-
ed their employees do not want it.
They are not fighting organization
because they think their employees are
well paid.
They are fighting it because the
Restaurant Keepers Association is
paying them to do so, and because
the Employers Association is back
of them and still again the Brewers
Association, which simply means that
on one hand you have band of girls
fighting for a living wage and one
day a week to rest and on the other
hand you have band of millionaires
willing to spend any amount of
money to prevent these girls from OBJ
tanning a living wage at Henrici's, lest
every other restaurant keeper who
pays starvation wages may be forced
to meet the same condition. 1t is

minions of the law are fighting on

A MISERABLE FAILURE.
Whitebird Sun. Idaho Count,


The much heralded direct primary
law as a means of giving the people a
real voice In the selection of their can
didates is failure-in Idaho a miser-
able failure.
The late primary election was looked
forward to by both those who have
been advocates of the system and by
its enemies as a final test of the party
primary in Idaho. That 1t has proved
to be of no real value proportionate to
its cost goes without saying. In the
selection of state candidates, no better
results were obtained than by the ole
convention system. 1t Is impossible
for any candidate other than those al
the head Of the ticket to become well
enough known over the state for any
great number Of the people to obtain a
real line on their special fitness for this
work Of the office to which they as

tates strongly against the primary ir

election is more costly than a general
election, and oft times good men are
kept out Of the arena because of the
double campaign and attendant double
expense which they must face.

THE PRIMARY IN WASHINGTON.

"Why not abolish the direct prim-
airy? Its strongest original propon-
ents will hardly dare contend that 1t
has accomplished what was expected.
Originally 1t was contended that the
great masses Of the voters would have
better opportunity to select candidates.
It is a proven fact that since we have
had the primary law far less per-
centage Of the voters take part than
did take part in the old days Of party
caucuses, primaries and conventions.
1t was claimed that under the primary
law we would acquire higher type OF

not. On the contrary had any party
convention selected such nominees, as

Pocatello Tribune,


For months the Tribune has noted
that the majority of the press Of the
state, irrespective of party, have con-
demned the primary law in no uncert'
ain terms.
1t is totally Inadequate to serve thu
desires of the voters at large, and is {
travesty on election law.

choice except from self-nominatet
candidates. Under the second choice
provision the possibility of getting the
better candidate chosen is made ex-
tremely unlikely. Worst of all, how
ever, is the fact that there is no chance
for the voter to declare himself on
issues and no responsibility other than
individual on the part of the candi-
dates. Under the convention system
the party announced platform of
principle. Each candidate for nomin
alton was directly and selfishly con-
cerned In every other nominee on the
ticket Good and strong men would
help the ticket, weak ones would cut
down the chances of every other man
on the ticket. Not only was there
party anxiety to name a ticket that
would appeal to the voters, a platform
so the citizens could know what the
issues were and act intelligently there
on but after election there was a party
responsibility. Failure of any candi-
date elected to make good hurt the
whole party organization.

Kimberly Call.

Almost without exception the news
papers of Idaho that have said any
thing about the primary election have
condemned the practical workings Of
the primary law. mainly ESQ far as we
can infer) on the ground that 1t tends
to disintegrate the party organizations
and that it Is subversive of good serv-
ice in public office.
There can be no doubt, in our mind,
that the primary law does tend to dis
integrate party organization. There
will be those, perhaps, who will argue
that this Is good thing, 1t may be-
We do not know. But what we do
know is that the law stands self con
demned because 1t Is inutile. Any
thing that is useless is unnecessary.
The primary does not bring out the
popular vote. In this county there was
but small percentage Of the farmers
who took enough interest in the selec-
ton Of candidates to get out and cast a
ballot OF course, just at this season
the farmer is very busy, and It may be
that better showing would be made
We're the election held a month earlier.
The great argument for the primary
law that 1t took the management of
party affairs out Of the hands Of few
politicians and gave 1t to the people
where it belongs. But we venture the
assertion (and we do not believe we
can be disputed) that in any precinct
in Twin Falls county the attendance
at gathering to select delegates to
county convention--as was done under
the old system-would have called out
election.
There is one objection, too, to the
law that cannot be overcome 1t prac-
tically requires declaration on the
part of the voter that he will vote at
the general election the ticket he calls
for at the primary. We know that in
seven cases of ten he will do nothing
Of the kind. Few men vote straight
tickets in these mugwumpish days.
The operation Of the law is both ex-
pensive and cumbersome. Neither of
these are valid objections, however, If
the primary accomplished what 1t was
claimed it would do. But they are of
considerable force when it fails in 9TH
err respects.
The one thing certain Is that the pri-
mary law needs lot of overhauling-
there are some holes in 1t that are
badly in need of caulking. And 1t
must either be repealed or radically
amended. 1t is failure as 1t stands.

REPEAL. THE LAW.
Caldwell Tribune.

! There is no question but that a
strong effort will be put forth at the
next session of the legislature to repeal
the direct primary law. We have CIV
en- the system fair trial. The law
has been upon the statute books six
years and in that time the people have
had all the experience they want.
Nearly every newspaper in the state
has expressed its disgust with the sys-
tenn. AS pointed out in the last issue
of The Tribune the arguments used
against the direct primary are: Fail
ure to produce better results than the
old convention system; apathy and in
difference of the people; excessive cost
true are vital. 1t seems to The Tri-
bune that they are true. No one will
deny the cost nor the indifference Of
the people. The cost Of the election
can be easily ascertained. The vote
cast shows that the people are indif-
ferent. The only question remaining
Is whether or not the nominees Of the
political parties are any better than
they were under the convention system.
So far as we are informed the charac-
ter Of our public men remain about the
same. Men who were prominent six
years ago are still prominent. influen-
tial and in office
On the republican ticket this year
are two men who would never have
received their nominations at the
hands of state convention. They
would have been defeated because they
weaken the ticket as a. whole. With
out a question state convention
would have nominated north Idaho
and south Idaho man for representa-
tive in Congress. The Tribune trusts
that the primary law will be repealed
at the next session of the legislature.
Public sentiment is certainly in favor
of the repeal law.
