THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The World 5 Work, in its current
issue, gives attention to the claim that
the direct primary is a failure, but
registers it's opposition to this verdict.
This means of selecting candidates,
it says, was widely adopted as a
means of freeing the people from ag-
gravated political evils. The conven-
ton gave unlimited opportunities for
political manipulation; fleeing from
this, the people greatly exaggerated
the advantages of their substitute. The
primary has not fulfilled these expecta-
tions; it has constantly chosen I'M
worthy representatives, precisely as
the convention did. In all probability
it selects more good men than the old
system provided; it certainly does not
give us fewer. The recent primaries
probably fairly represent the American
democracy in all its vices and its
virtues, all its tendencies to blunder
and to go straight. The people must
learn to use this as well as other in
struments Of democracy, democratic
fashion, must learn largely by THEN
own mistakes.

Wilson'S Re election.
Burlington News.)


What are the causes for Wilson S
triumph and Hughes s defeat by 269
electoral votes to 262, and what does
it mean?
Wilson carried California with its
women voters, because academic and
elusive theories, regardless of facts
or conditions, appeal more strongly to
women than they do to men. Wilson
carried the "Solid South for senti-
mental or traditional reasons, because
he was termed a Democrat. The vote
does not carry the approval of the
South, because Wilson has departed
from Democratic traditions in his child
labor measures, his centralized bank
ing scheme, and his general theories of
closer federation as opposed to the
loose confederation advocated by the
south.
He received many votes in the nor
mally Republican states of the Mid
die West because "he kept us out of
war because many working men did
not care for the academic theories of
the tariff, or what would happen after
the war. They live in today and are
opportunists. Therefore they voted for
Wilson.
Wilson led his ticket in Vermont and
made a great fight in New Hampshire
because many believed the Old Guard
is in the saddle on the Republican ele-
plant. They are afraid of Wall street

tics, a game he has never played.
Hughes lost because he was q poor
campaigner, because he was never def
mite, and because he wouldn t raise the
issues. Those who have followed
Hughes S past public career believe he
would have been a great president, but
his present campaigning showed him at
a disadvantage The Old Guard had the
organization, and Hughes probably
would have broken away after being
elected. Carrying it during the cam
paign, however, was fatal to him, and
it might have proved inst as fatal had
he pushed the organization into the
background during the progress of his

But Wilson is reelected. He was

his broken platform, and too powerful

Improvidence Causes High Cost.
randolph Herald and News.)

Improvidence is one of the causes of
the high cost of living. Householders
fail to lay by when foodstuffs are
cheap against the time when they will
be dear. Everyone knows, for instance,
that eggs are lowest in price III the
early summer and Will be high in the
early winter, for natural reasons per-
fectly well understood. Now a few
dollars invested in fresh eggs when
they are twenty cents dozen. and
these eggs "put down" at a cost in
equipment and compound of not over
five cents dozen will give plenty of
good eggs for both cooking and eating
when they are fifty cents a dozen at
Thanksgiving time. The labor and ia
cilities required are so small that prac-
tically every family in this country
ought to carry out a scheme so mani
testify economical. Yet it is not gener-
ally DONE

Tlberius was a married man, but his
wife was great disappointment to all
concerned, as she was of a giddv ma
tuTe and would rather hirt with per
feet strangers than do Homework and
make jell. She treated Tiberius with
the utmost contempt and commented
heartlessly upon his bald-headed con
ditlon, and it was a great relief to
Tlberius when he was given a divorce
at the October term of court.
Tiberius ruled Rome with a high
hand and a bull whip, and probably
killed more people with whom he was
not personally acquainted than anv
other man of his times. He was a
bloody-minded despot who lacked both
the aquiline nose and handsome. opa-
que legs of the Roman conquerors. and
there were more plain DRINKS in the
streets Of Rome the night he died than
can be found at q modern street ear
nlval. The fact that he was allowed to
die IN one lump, instead of in frag-
ments, shows that justice was looking
the other way.

Tiberius was one of the few Roman

his immediate family adjourned to
some quiet retreat and felt of their
