industrial shares received more atten-
ton. Consols closed ~ higher at

EASTLAND MEN DO NOT HAVE
TO COME TO CHICAGO FOR TRIAL
Six men charged with responsible
ity for the Eastland disaster will not
have to come to Chicago to stand
trial, Federal Judge Sessions decided
at a hearing in Detroit. This is dis
tinct disappointment to Dist Atty
Clyne, who is prosecuting for the
government. The decision makes
the governments case very difficult.
States Atty Hoyne says adverse
decision of Detroit judge in federal
case against Eastland indicted will
not deter him from pressing cases
against under state indictment.
Expect to complete Lorimer jury

Add a Convention Clause

The present session Of the louisiana
legislature will have under consideration
changes in the primary election Law.
No doubt the suggestion to insert a
clause in the law making it optional with
political parties to nominate ~ 4 convention
is premature.
Yet we suppose that the last two state
campaigns have made it clear to the country
people. who were the first to howl for pri-
maries) that under the primary system, the
city Of New Orleans can elect every state
official and that the city has the last word
on the subject.
Not that we complain Of the ci,y,s in
huonce. but We gihe the fact as Illustrating
how unfounded is the principal reason given
10y the country in favor of the primary ays-
TEN only that the city influence would be
restricted.
There are several serious objections -
the primary system: ! man must ne rich to
stand for a state office; it prevents 4 far
distribution Of the different Offices; it does
not afford opportunity for concrete party
expression on public issues; it gives no op-
portunity for harmoniZing propositions that
affect different sections Of the state in DIFF
ferent ways; to enter a scramble for Office
is distasteful to good men, VINO might ac-
capt nomination at the hands Of conven.
ton; finally, it furnishes to the unscrupulou.
candidate with money the best possible oP
iportunity to corrupt the electorate.
The convention offers the chance 10
party leaders to confer and select men an'
measures the men pledged to support Tx
measures outlined in advance OF the eiec
ton.
The primary idea was a fad to star

Abolition Of Two State Boards.

Governor Pleasant, in furthering his
policy Of retrpnchment, has recommended
abolishing the State Conservation Board
and the Board Of Control Of the State Pen
itentiary. He suggests that one man be
put at the head OF each Of these depart
ments- to increase efficiency by ccntering
responsibility. We agree with the policy as
to the Penitentiary Board to the extent Of
placing q capable, business man at its head.
To increase the pay Of the Office so as to in
sure getting first class man to fill the
place is also an Improvement, but we be-
ieve that better plan would be TO retain
the members Of tins board, with salary to
the head only.
AS to TIE Conservation BOrd, there is a
great work to be accomplished This work
under the present system is greatly diversi-
fed and will supply field for the efforts Of
even more than three good men. This de-
partment should yield large income to the
state, and the curtaiment OF pay or tie
membership will not be conducive to the er-
largement Of the revenues from this source.
We believe that the accepted opinion
in regard to boards like these is that Il e
he5t results can be secured by establishing a
head with capacity executive ability baI-
a1ced with an advisory board, TO hold this
head in check This would fix responsible
ity, without ccntrazing power.
