Congress will convene early in De-
cember. Weather note: Watch out
for war clouds from Japan and
strong winds from the eastern munt-
tions factories.
And what of the unhyphenated
Americans who, because they love
any country, are willing to plunge
the United Sattes into war for the
profit on munitions?
Yes, il is wrong for a foreign-born
citizen to allow his sympathy for a
belilgerent country to make him for
get his duty to the land of his adopt
ion, but is il not even worse for an
American born citizen to become so
engrossed in making money out Of
the war as to jeopardize the neutral
ity of the country of his birth? The
memories of youth furnish a better
excuse than the worship of mammon.
For the year preceding the war
Germany expended 293 millions up
on her army and navy. For the same
period United States appropriated for
the same purposes 312 millions.
Does anybody believe that the nation
is in any such state of unprepared-
ness as the eastern press would have
us think or as the paid travelling or
ganizers of the navy league and the
natinOal security league and similar
organizations assert?

begin right after Christmas. The
presidential preference primary, the
first in Ohio history, will be held on
Tuesday, April 25, but before the
latter part of February candidates
for president for delegates to the
national party convention and to the
state party convention will have had
to file their petitions with the secre-
tary of state and the board of cleo
ton. That necessity will make pre-
sidential and state politics a very
live issue in mid-winter.
Naturally the most interesting
thing will be the first try-out of the
presidential primary, April 25. AT
this primary every voter will receive
separate ballot containing the
namse Of the candidates Of his party
for president and vice president. He
will be asked OF mark his preference.
simultaneously he will be given a
ballot containing the names of candi-
dates for delegates to the national
convention of his party, and below
the names of the candidates for pres
ident which each particular candidate
for delegate prefers.
The voter will thus have a chance
to vote his preference for president
and at the same time he will lbe guild
ed in voting for national delegates by
having before him knowledge of the
presidential preferences of the dele
gate aspirants Voters in Ohio have
voted for delegates in this manner
before, but they have not had a
chance at the same time to show their
own presidential choices.
When the result of the primary is
known that result will be certified to
the successful candidates for national
delegate and the latter meantime will
have filed formal promise to sup
port ito the best of his judgment and
ability" the presidential candidates
chosen by popular vote. OF course
the delegates might go to the con-
yention an dsupport somebody else
but in so doing would be violating a
very solemn obligation.
While voting for national dele
gates and showing his own choice for
presidential nominees, the voter will
also elect delegates to state cOnyen-
tions. But the state conventions,
which will meet later at the time
fixed by the controlling party, will
have the right only to adopt state
party platforms and to nominate
presidential electors.
Candidates for state offices, for
United States senator, for congress
men, for county offices and for party
central committeeman will be chosen
at the August primary. This will
mean two primaries within a few
months. A desperate effort was
made during the general assembly

THE PORK BARREL"

The Washington, d. c. Times
throws out the genail suggestion that
Mr. Bryan is organizing the pork
barrel" brigade to defeat prepared
ness, and as evidence submits his
call for better roads and more inter
nal improvements.
Here we have a hint of what is
ahead if the militarists have their
way, the money the people need for
better living will be pork" to the
end of the chapter, while the money
expended for uniforms and gun pow
der will be patriotism.
Nothing is more interesting to the
student of history than the supreme
contempt militarism has always had
for industrialism, and the freedom
with which that contempt has been
expressed at the very time that the
industrial community was taxing it

Clure says:
Last winter the state legislature
appropriated $4,000 for junior con-
test work in Ohio. The $4,000 was
to be expended bringing champion
corn growers to the state fair, iinanc-
ing a trip TO Washington, and giving
a weeks special training in domestic
science to girls who eXcelled in bak-
in gan dsewing. Now the word is
sent forth from the State Board of
Agriculture that the first two pro-
iects viii eat up all the appropria-
ton an dthe girls viii get no special
training, Last year 100 of them
studied domestic science at the state
university.
Growing a lot of corn is fine but
growing a lot of crop would be a
poor scheme if there We're no one to
cook it, Putting a couple of level

Railroad Men Predict Shortage
Cars, Worst in History
LPlain Dealer, Nov. 26l

Steadily but surely the greatest
car famine in history is approaching
This bears out the prediction of lead
ing railroad operating officials of the
country.
The shortage of freight cars is al
ready becoming acute in Cleveland
and in all sections of the country.
Colder weather will add to the diff
culties of the operating officials.
Smaller trains will be handled and
more difficulty will be experienced in
handling cars and trains.
That shortage unequaled in his
tory has not arrived is largely due to
favorable weather conditions, rail
road men say. As soon as snow CO.

to blow there will be a severe conges-
