0aore Ballot Needed 70 Preserve the
Direct Primary.

Ono OF the speaker before the leg.
laxative committee Of tho Spokane
Federation Of Women's Organizations
voiced . belief that the short ballot
would do away with the direct pri.
mary" That opinion could not have
been based on full knowledge Of the
subject, for exactly the converse was
true. The short ballot is needed to
preserve the direct primary, as re-
Election must show.
The direct primary intensifies the
difficulties Of the long ballot. Its most
earnest friends admit that. 1t multi.
plies the number Of candidates from
which the voters must make selections.
The short ballot reduces the number,
minimizes the confusion in the voters
mind, and strengthens the direct pri-
mary in public confidence and sup
port. With the long ballot the direct
primary is put to the severest test,
and in the minds Of many friends a
fear rises that the public may weary
Of the task imposed with the long bal.
lot and drift into q reactionary frame
of mind.
Evidence of the presence Of this
danger is too plain to be disregarded.
In this state reactionaries are openly
urging q return to the old and dis
credited convention system. They will
endeavor at the approaching session
Of the legislature to pass law for
advisory conventions" The Chehalis
Bee-Nugget, for example, is advocat-
ing that plan for the undermining of
the direct primary and recently ven
tured the gratuitous opinion that the
Yakima Daily Republic, edited by
Colonel w. w. Robertson, would favor
the repeal of the direct primary law.
The Yakima newspaper promptly repu-
dates the intimation.
"The Republic" it comedies, did
not favor the direct primary law.
and has never been satisfied with
its results, but its objections were
not based on dislike of the prin.
ciple Of popular control. It al
ways has recognized that principle
- good. Its objections were al
ways due to the fact that in order
9 to make the direct primary sys-
tenn serviceable another reform
task (the short ballot) must be &C.
complished. The differ
ence between the Bee-Nugget and
the Republic is that while ncith-
or likes the direct primary
scheme and the results that have
followed since it was ador,gd.
the Bee Nugget would try t. rasnl
matters by giving us pertsctly
worthless advisory convention
while the Republic would mend
them through the short ballot,
which would cut out raft of pub
lie offices and give the people
chance to select the rest with
discrimination"

and clearness. and that issue is now

Weakness In Timber.

j A somewhat curious source Of weak
ness in timber, which explains break
ages that hitherto have seemed mys-
FERROUS, has been brought to notice by
experiments in the laboratory of the
United States forest service. When a
beam is dropped across skid or any
narrow hard solid, the tibers may be
considerably compressed, and If the
beam is subsequently broken, failure
comes at the point Of compression.
The shocks producing the serious i'm
pairment may be received in strong
gales by the growing tree, as well as
in the Numbering or manufacturing
operations. Lines Of compression ap-
pear as little wrinkles or streaks
crossing the grain and these are to be
taken as a mark Of weakness in the
wood. To such fiber compression
from rough usage is now attributed
the puzzling breakage of materials
supposed to be very strong, such as
wagon wheel spokes Of hickory.
